Mc'Laurin'* Career.
John L. 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.
