McLaurin, of Bennettsville, the latest entry into the race to succeed Governor Cole L. Blease, can look backward upon a political career which probably has no equal in the annals of the nation. In the prime of young: manhood. when the Tillman wave swept over the State in 1890, Mr. McLrurin was one of the principal lieutenants of Capt. B. R. Tillman and stood high in the ranks of the "reformers." He was regarded wilh political honors. As a member of the general assembly be took pait in shaping legislation under Governor Tillman. He was tben elected attorney general and from there went to congress to ' represent the Sixth district. He was appointed by Governor Ellerbe to fill the vacancy in the United States senate made vacant by the death of Senator Earle and at the primaries won the nomination and was elected for the full term, becoming the colleague of his old time leader, Senator 1$. R. Tillman. How Senator McLaurin and Senator Tillman drifted apart bscause of the espousing of the ^so-called commercial democracy by Senator McLaurin and the final culmination of their troubles with a personal encounter on the floor of the United States senate is recalled in South Carolina. Mr. McLaurin was then out of politics until 1912, when he was chosen to fill a vacancy in the State senate caused by the death of Senator J. B. Green. He took a leading part in legislation and through the sessions of 1913and 1914 be occupied prominent places. One of his best known mnoevit?nc tiroo *-vi?rvnnoifion iiicanu vo ? ao uic u^v/oiviuii iu form a State warehouse system for storing and grading cotton and this was passed by the senate with a provision for a referendum to be held at the next general election but the house killed the bill. The day the senate decided to refer the Warehouse bill to the people Senator McLaurin said his colleagues had forced him into the race for governor. The entry of Senator Me Lain in I makes ten avowed candidates in the race for governor, the others being Railroad Com- j missioner John G. Richards, 1 Solicitor R. A. Cooper. Representative W. C. Irby, Jr., former Representative L. J. Browning, Professor John G. Clink-! scales, Mr. Charles Carrol Simms, Speaker M. L. Smith. Lieutenant Governor C. A. Smith, former Senator R. I. Manning. Advertising That Pavs. Youngston, Ohio, has a groper j who knows how to advertise. Jfle J puts personality and human interest into his advertisements and sells groceries as fast as he can hand them over to customers, lie writes his own advertisements and some of them are unique. Here is a recent one: "Some of you people give me a pain about the high cost of living. You don't know any more about it than my kid, 10 months old. All she knows is to throw my watch on the IWr. pull my hair, coax me for pennies to buy candy. 1 have lite most up-todate jKMiltry faim in the county. 1 I have the best laying strain of hens in the county. I employ the best men that money can hire. It costs me nearly $2.00a 1 dozen to produce fresh eggs at ! the present time. I charge you I about one-fourth of the amount, : yet you say I am robbing you. ] I'm selling you strictly fancy 2 Florida ot-anges ttt 15 to 20 cents a dozen, 'rhe poor farmer that raised them, after paying for the picking and packing gets about 10 cents a box. The railroad company gets the balance. You rush over to the cabaret, pay $2.00 for a seat to see some chickens and old hens show their legs and shapes. That is all right. You rush down to the millinery store, pay about $20 for a hat, the first cost of which . is about $3. That's all right? you get a swell hat. You pay $5 for a chiffon dress, nothing to it. I can put it in my overcoat pocket, but it's the style, it's all right. But when it comes to j something to eat?you have a fit. j Take my advice ?take care of; your stomach." The stores are already begin-1 j ning to answer the questions j 1 that so many women want j answered. As you read your | newspaper you will notice the j new spring note creeping into | the advertising. The stores are already beginning to show the beautiful cottons from which women will make their summer ! frocks. The woman who ex-! pects to keep posted to the minute must be an advertising reader. ! 1 She must avail herself of the service her favorite newspaper I provides for her. It is the best fashion news in the world because it is based on actual merchandise and not on theories. , It tc li*\ tn fUn f ? - , mv iu VI f J VW UlC 1IIIIIUIC. It IS | | written in a way that makes it! clear to her. But it seems al- j j most unnecessary to remind i j American women of the joys of ! advertising:?for they are al-j ready the greatest readers of j advertising in the world. The date of Easter this year is' puzzling many persons. Accord- j ing to the calendar. Lent began with Ash Wednesday, February ; 25. and will continue until Easter 1 Sunday, April 12. St. Patrick's Day, March 17, was about half1 way between the beginning and end of the fasting period. Every fourth year the date of Easter ! is late, being in the vicinity of April 10 to 24. The date this! year is comparatively early, considering that it is the year for the late date. The farming business is now ! coming to a point where it is [ generally recognized as the most! prosperous business going, offer- j ing the best future and brightest' prospects. That being so there j will be no trouble about keeping the boy on the farm for he will be keen to see that it is the best place to make money, gain the respect of his fellowman and j obtain the standing amongst ! men which is the ambition of j every right-minded boy. Our public school system is a grand one and one of which we may justly feel proud. The value of an education cannot be estimated and the apparent neglect of some of our people to avail themselves of the oppor-1 {unities afforded for their ad-j vancement is a marvel to us. Parents ami guardians, see to it that >our children attend school. The hunting season in this State closed on last Saturday, the 15th, and it is now unlawful to i shoot t|uail and other birds. There has been very little hunt-1 ing in this section for the last; six weeks, however, on account1 of the unsuitable weather.
