Perhaps he in 111?* only one who can carry Illinois; h in I, except (jlevi laud; the only iiie who can carry New York, The only serious objection to Mr, Hearst is thai ho is a comparatively young man. But ho is every ilny forsaking that sin, and every Sabbath he is a week older than on t-ln? previous Sunday. Last week at an enthusiastic meeting of representative Soul hern 1 men living in New York, which was held in the state apartments at the Waldorf* Astoria, res? dot ions were uuniiiiiiotisly adopted iiulorsiiilc tin* Democratic* party servioi s and ability of William Randolph Hearst. and the "Dixie Hearst Club of Now York" was organized. The club pledged itself to promote by every possible legitimate means the iiominatioii and eh etion of William Uand ?'i?11 Hearst to the Presidency of the I'niled Slates by the Democratic party. I! was deeiihd to hold semi-monthly meetings until the Democratic Convention meets in St. Louis. Almost every Southern State was ivpivsenhd at the meeting, and the enthusiasm fur Mr. Heart wus intense. Evidently Mr. W. R. Hearst seeuis to he "the coining man." ( 'atawjja. ? ?

It is the purpose of those interested to buy the Spratt Machine company's plant, enlarge the building, ami conduct the new business tlu-n in.

At n meeting of the town conn- ; oil Monday afteio?i. 11, a number1 of vol3 important ordii auces were enacted, copies of which appear in another column of this issue. The objects of tlie ordinances me:! First, to riil the town of the many worthless dogs which roam over! the streets; second, to stop the sale of merchandise (drugs and j 1 ._ 1 ? 1 uimtM iiiKtMts supplies excepted ) on Sunday, mid third, to enforce tlie law in regard to selling patent medicines, of which alcohol forms a part, as a beverage. A line will be imposed upon each and eveiy violator, and merchauts, druggists, and owners of dogs should read the ordinances very carefully. One of the most enjoyable occasions 11 at lias taken place here in qu'te a time was th * annual supper of the l<\.ri .Mdl bight be fnntiy h'riday 'lin^, Atnopg the vi.-itors present was C-<1. J. (J. Boyd, of Greenville, who is known and admired by a majority of the members of the company. About one hundred people were present and were served supper in the town hall. Aftersuj per the crowd repaired to the Masonic hall and were inteiv-tiugly enlorlaiiwd for a short while by speeches from Col. Bovd, t'apt. J. \V. Ardreyaud Dr. J. H.Tltornwell. Among other things Col. Boyd remarked that the State militia will, in his opinion, certainly get a free trip to the St. Louis Exposition this summer. The suppers of the Fort Mill L'glit Infantry are always awaited with eagerness, but it may be truly stated that that of! Friday evening excelled 111 pleasure any thus far held. "Stick Together as One Man." Senator Fryo and Representative Alexander, of New York, both ! natives of Maine, Were walking up IVnnsylvnniu avenue fr?>tn the Capitol together a few days ago, says the Washington Post. Air. Fryo was grumbling about the ai> gressiven. ss of the South Carolinians in Congress. "They stick together as one man," said he. "Tillman wants something. The wliolt South Caiulina crowd joins with liiin. They tight for it to the last, ditch. It's so with the whole of them, when any one of their number wants anything. They are an ubbturle tu ir^ismticai. "Senator," replied Mr. Alexander, who lias stood in with the Maine crowd on many a legislative fight, "that coines with bad grace from von.
