This wonderful rail line was constructed. 10 tells, at a cost of $-1 00,000,000, which makes It the most expensive public ?itlllty ever attempted with the exeep Hon of the Panama lJiteroceanic Oanal. >Tor are size and cost the only uul<]uc elements of this remarkable railway, 'iceording to tho writer, for It was bnllded with record setting . rapidity, ''he strictly Siberian sections of 3,'JOO miles were bnllt in seven yearn, 1SJH the rate of construction upproach ing two in Ilea for each working day. "It is the recognition of conditions." 'lie writer continues, "to say that'tle* (instruction of this great transconti ?ental railway Is one of the most re uarkable feats of man's energy, per lstehcy. and Industry recorded In the ?minis of human history." He adds '>>it the railway has brought Peking It hln 14 days' journey of London for ires, incliidltig sleeping cars, of from I.r?0 f?>r second-class and $230 for ?rst-class passengers.

"Their ?oil 1m fertile," he says, "stock of all cinds thrives, transportation facilities ?re good, coal is abundant, modern 'gricultnral methods largely obtain, markets are accessible, and the pop ulatlon is rapidly increasing." The Baraba region, a quiet, luxur iant country extending westward from the I'ral Mountains, is according to General (i reeley. a stock-raising and lairy-farmJng country usually favored '?y Nature. Its shipments to foreign markets consist almost entirely of meat ind butter, and of the latter it ships ?nore than 05.000 tons annually.

"It has not been repeated on the rtoor of the Senate, but the cliargedias been made in the State House that 'the State Warehouse system reeks with politics," because the Warehouse Commissioner has appointed a Private Secretary of Governor lilease to the po sition of secretary to this warehouse department. Would you charge the <tate Warehouse Commissioner with ?laying i?olltlcs If he had apiwlnted ?he secretary of the present, Governor to this position? More than that .vliile he appointed John K. Aull as Ihe secretary of the commission, there ire two other officials whom he' ap pointed? the Deputy Warehouse Com missioner an<l the State Warehouse In oiector, J. (i. L. White and J. A. Drake ? representing politics In oppo sition to the iKslltleal faith of the sec retary. If the State Warehouse Com missioner had intended to play poli 'ics, would it not have been well for .dm to have appointed politicians to those positions? What finer <>pi>ortu )ity would he have had to have play m1 'politics than in the appointment of these two officials, men who go to ev >ry section of South Carolina, there by having the opportunity of publish ing his peculiar views on political question*? "Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Senate, let us he fair with McLaurln. Let us accord to him that which is the truth ? that he Is more concerned abcut bettering financial conditions than he is interested in politics ? about this warehouse system, which is the crea ture of his own intellect, and which means so much, not only for the agri cultural interests of South Carolina, but for every other class in the state, all of which prosper or suffer in pro portion as cotton advances or declines. Let us remember the Rtruggle which he has had In Ills effort to inaugurate this system. Let us remember the opposition of those opposed to him and to the measure. When, in obedience to the Comptroller General's construc tion of the law that official held up the ippropriution made for the conduct of the State Warehouse svstem, McLaurin fouiul himself absolutely without the means of paying running exiienses. Did ho falter? Did he act niggardly and whisper ami whine because of '.ack of means to carry on the work which he had undertaken? No, in deed. Ho carried on the work by pay ing the expenses of the system out of his own pocket, and has continued to do that up to the present time. "Well do I remember his coming til to my room during this period and handing me a check for one hundred dollars, signed by Wade Hnmrton -Gibber. PX-nTTTvoi' of the city of Co lumbia. and telling me of the circum stances of Hs having been offered to him by Mr. <}i^>bos to assist him in this trreat work whb*h meniit so much to the oi'le of the state, ancl how ho j laid that "this check shall never be "fished but shall be framed and hand ed down as an heirloom to my chil Iren in remembrance of the goiferous lyiatsathy and support hi a time of npiil by the friend of my young man hood, witti wlloiii 1 spent four years of "oIIoto life."

' In reply to the question as to what he thought of the press dispatches \n Monday's papers quoting MaranVltte as saying that Boston's success was due to the ability of the Boston team 111. tlguring out the opposing team's signals, he said that he thought it was a joke, and that no doubt Maranville had been misquoted or that In his en thusiasm In addressing the students at Boston college .he hnd said a little more than he intended his words to convey. Mr. Evera then told of what a won lerful training ground Camden would make for a big league team for Spring practice. He said that two teams could play on the polo grounds at one time, and that he had spoken to Mr. Krumbholz, the manager of the Kirkwood, ,in reference to getting a team to come to. Camden. He says If ever he is manager of a team again he will most certainly bring it to k Camden for its spring practice. With balmy weather, plenty of golf, riding and other exercises, Which players could take here, they could soon de velop into good physical shape. Then, too, there could be a number of ex hibition games arranged with teams returning North, that pass through Camden. When asked if he had ever seen H'llKululU, ?
