And now comes Jno. L. McLaurin, at the instance of the manufacturers of cotton, who are the conservators of the greatest industry the South can hope for, save agriculture, the bride whereof is this identical enterprise, whose domestic duty it is to spin and to weave as was wont to be done by the good house wife of yore, under the approving eye of Jefferson and of Jackson, who may haps caught the lesson of her shuttle and sleigh, to weave the lasting fabric of Democracy. He comes to make a speech in Charlotte to Democrats, whose Democracy the public press has not up to this time presumed to question. Since the Senator voted for the ratification of the late treaty with Spain and later for a measure known as the shipping subsidy bill, his Democracy has constantly been called into question by many newspapers in this State and absolutely denied bv others. At Charlotte he em '"braced the opportunity, which was the first accorded him, to meet the allegations - of his accusers. Many of his constituents, being taught thus by a partisan press, expected him to formally renounce his allegiance to the Democratic party, but instead he announced loyalty and not desertion. We have examined that speech, and we find his offence is a greater devotion to the interests of his country and to his nation's honor, as he saw it, than to the caucus edicts of a Senatorial oligarchy. If McLaurin has been loyal to the best interests of his country, and if to maintain this loyalty it was necessary for him to part council temporarily with his colleagues, had we not better examine into his contention for ourselves before we accept as just this wholesale abuse and this unceremonious reading the Senator i - out of the party. It is a matter of history that some of our mosfc?illustrious statesmen have differed with their party on the most important party questions, and, like McLaurin, they were reviled at the time for ? their imputed infidelity and desertion * and accused of being controlled by mercenary motives. These verdicts were generally rendered impulsively and in prejudice. In the appeal court of slow and cautious time many of these foul judgments nave uccu uiuuw of record, but not until the victim had died or had been forced from the sphere of his influence. Senator Calhoun confesses to have often differed with his party, and that too when his party was strongest. We believe that he was sus. - tainel at the head of political thought by that kind of confidence that clings to a friend 'through evil as well as good report;" yet, today, there is no division among us regarding his patriotism and 7" . his great wisdom, and we do admit that his independence was by no means the least element of his greatness. Samuel ? - J. Randall was likewise abused for his independence in opposing his party on a very vital issue, but he lived to become the idol of the national Democracy without having surrendered his honest convictions. Why not permit McLaurin to think and why not permit him to act? We boast of independence; it is the vaunted tree in the center of our political garden. Let us rake the soil of all the tyranny that accumulates where grows this tree and it will mature a great strength. If we would condemn him, let us find the reason for such condemnation in the logical operation of his policy and not in the naked, harsh and unproven declarations that he is disloyal. The southern people are beginningto think for themselves, lightening a trifle - the mental burden of our overworked politicians, and the more they think the less inclined they are to further sacrifice the material interests of the South to follow blindly any political phantom, even if a Senatorial caucus has succeeded in pressing the Democratic branding iron against it. Our people are Democrats by necessity, and happily the necessity is the choice, but they propose to exercise this choice with some freedom. Many Democrats are growing to feel that it is not necessary for them now to be forced to request the chairman of the State Democratic executive committee to name what watch of the night they may be permitted to ?ni-n fV?o in the haravard: *UAU fcuv i/u*iv.x/0 J y they propose to settle many little matters like this, and a few possibly of more importance, and they propose to be Democrats while tbev do these things and they propose to be Democrats afterwards, too. So it is well to notify party experts! that it is not enough to simply assert that McLaurin voted for the Spanish treaty, after a sudden change of mind, and expect on this testimony to convict him of Republicanism. Many Democrats voted for it. We understand that Mr. Bryan advised it, and he was afterwards the unanimous choice of those who opposed it, for the Presidency of the United States. It is not enough to vehemently assert that the shipping subsidy bill is a "Republican grab" and then to drop! the subject, feeling that all the people are convinced, and that they with one accord will vote the man a Republican who declares with much reason that it will benefit the people wilt) labor on the farm and in the factory; because the people know that Democrats voted large subsidies to transcontinental railroads in the way of land and government security, and that in the counties of our own j State, bvthe advice of leading politicians, i - ? V ? the Democrats voted subsidies in the way of county l>onds to railroads. And that both the national parties agree on the collection of a heavy tariff on all manufactured articles, which they know to l>e only another name for subsidy, and they know they help to pay all this subsidy levied against thein in the interest of the more fortunate. It is therefore strange that in all these years it has not been called to their attention that all this thing is undemocratic. Stranger still it k is that the moment a scheme is proposed which must ultimately remit a part of the cost of this water transportation that comes out of the pockets of the producers of cotton and that now operates as an embargo on the cotton products trade, that this subsidy then becomes black Republicanism. We may be wrong, and hundreds who think as we do may be misguided, but vehemence cannot change us: it only disgusts us, but we may be led by logic. Shudders at His Past. * i ?? \f.:i "I recall now wmi norror, says .uau Carrier Burnett Mann, of Levanna, O . "my three years of suffering from kidney trouble. I was hardly ever free front dull aches or acute pains in my back. To stoop or lift mail sacks made me groan.

No broader distinction can be made between men than that which divides tliem into two classes. To the tirst class belong those who always have a good excuse why the thing required cannot be done. The second class is composed of those who manage to DO. Foremost in this latter class stands out the figure of General DeWet. Allen Sangree, who has just returned from the Transvaal, draws a vivid picture of the character of this most remarkable general of modern times for the May Cosmopolitan, and the article is illustrated with the most complete collection of photographs and drawings yet published. "It is with a good deal of pleasure and satisfaction that I recommend Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy," says Druggist A. W. Sawtelle, of Hartford, Conn. "A laay customer, seeing the remedy exposed for sale 011 my show case, said to me: 'I really believe that medicine saved my life the past summer while at the shore,' ana sue Decame so enthusiastic over its merits that I at once made up my mind to recommend it in the future. Recently a gentleman came into my store so overcome with colic pains that he sank at once to the floor. I gave tfim a dose of this remedy which helped him. I repeated the dose and in fifteen minutes he left my store smilingly informing me that he felt as well as ever." Sold by Bamberg Pharmacy. John l\ Calhoun's Formal Wooing. Though an ardent lover fretting at time's slow course until his wedding day, John C. Calhoun wrote but one letter tc his sweetheart?his pretty cousin Floridc Calhoun. All the other communications, when the lovers were separated, were made through her mother. But shortlv before their marriage "the Great Nulli fier" wrote expressing his anxiety foj the arrival of the happy day, and tlis letter recently come to light is published in the May Ladies' Home Journal. Aftei giving hearty expression to the joy Ik has found in her company the letter runs "* It gives me much satisfaction thai time and absence make no impression or my love for you; it glows with no less ardor than at the moment of parting which must be a happy omen of its per manent nature. When mere persona charms attract, the impression may b< I violent but cannot be lasting, and it re quires the perpetual presence of tin object to keep it alive; but when tin beauty of mind, the soft and sweet dis position, the amiable and lovable character embellished with innocence aiu cheerfulness are united to the attraction,' of personal beauty, it bids defiance t< time.

Last Friday was the day set for m< morial exercises at Rivers's Bridge, i commemoration of the gallant dead wh gave up their lives in the tight at thi place in lb(x>. Of the Association nothin i need be said, for its history has heretofor been published in these columns. \V believe this to be the most successful Me morial Association in the State, both i point of attendance at the memorial e.> ercises each year, in the excellence of it speakers, and in the interest shown b the members and the people of this sei tion. The gathering this year was as large c larger than usual, at least 3,000 or mor persons l>eing present, from trie counut of Bamberg, Barnwell, Colleton, an Hampton. Last Thursday afternoon th writer left town to attend the occasioi and stopped that night at the hospital)! home of Capt. J. C. McMillan, presider of the Association, where was also dom ciled Dr. A. P. Montague, one of th orators of the day. We were handsomel ! entertained for the night, and next mori ing went on down to the memorii ' grounds, arriving about eleven o'clocl A large crowd had already gathered, an they continued to come until 12 o'cloc and after. It was a great pleasure to v to have the privilege of shaking hanc with so many of our friends, for in n . section of the county do we feel more i home than there. Before the exercises of the day wei commenced, a meeting of the Associatio was held. Against his protest, Capt. J. ( McMillan was re-elected president; Cap W. K. Sease, vice-president; Capt. J. M Jenny, secretary; J. F. Kearse, Sr., treai urer, and Rev. S. P. Chisolm, chaplaii The president then appointed a committc to nominate the executive committei which was composed of the followiu gentlemen: Dr. N. F. Kirkland, Sr., t A. Chassereau, and E. F. Kinard. Th committee retired and soon returned wit the following committee, and their repoi was adopted: Dr. N. F. Kirkland, Sr J. 0. Kearse, M. O. Kinard, J. J. Copelam J. D. Jenny, J. C. Copeland, J. A.

After music l>y the choi . Rev. S. P. Chisolm offered prayer. Pres dent McMillan then made a few appr< I priate remarks, and introduced Dr. A. 1 Montague, president of Furman Unive sity at Greenville, as the first speake Dr. Montague's address was a fine on ^ aud was well received. Many of tho< ^ present, in speaking to us afterward, sai it was one of the best ever deliverc there by any speaker. He spoke in pa as follows: . "I deem it a high honor to take part t< day in ceremonies that commemorate tl - lives and deeds of fathers, brothers, au - friends whose courage and suffering a shall be spoken of for a memorial of the; a as long as chivalrous character shall r ? ceive the meed of tender memory an - loving panegyric. To chronicle in stoi - and song and speech the exploits of tl j noble dead is to receive with open mill and loyal heart the heritage of the ha s lowed past. Even as it is a rank of grea > ness to perform worthy deeds, so is it ? badge of honor to extol those wl wrought them. Therefore today I brin ' greeting and congratulation to tl r Rivers's Bridge Memorial Association b - cause they pause amid the duties of lif amid its bus\- scenes and occupations, an offer to the memories of the heroic dea ; tributes of praise and tender loyalty, is the custom of mankind to refer to tl dead as links that bind us to days gor by, when their companionship gave j( and gladness to our lives; just as muc .1 1' 1 _ 1- ' i even more, .ire uiev imiks in lue cnui ! studded with the sreiiis of hope and fait that binds us to the coming time whe with them we shall dwell in that 'horn not made with hands, eternal in tl k heavens!' The speaker then gave a word pictu] . of an old Southern home as it was in tl I days of slavery, alluding in touchin ' terms to the faithfulness of the negro se r vants. lie said: "The ties that boun f the servants to the family are among tl ( tenderest memories of the old South . In alluding to this he spoke of the slavi . of ancient Home and the serfs of Russi ; and the bitterness they felt towards the I masters, and said that"as a rule the slavi . of the South were the trusted friends < the family, the playmates and companior . of the children of the home. But he wi . ' not here, however, to regret the abolitio > of slavery. I believe that, with the pas ing of that institution, came better da} > and a larger independence for our peopl . On the other hand I utterly despise tl I ranting and the screeds of so-called poel of freedom, like Whittier, who drew the , inspiration from diseased imagination , the lies of demagogues, or the vile acts < r the assassin, John Brown." Alluding to the careers of great wa ' riors he spoke of Alexander, Hannib: [ and Napoleon, and then of Robert E. Le , comparing the lives of these, and pay in ; a high and eloquent tribute to Lee. E spoke at lenirth on this line, dwelling o I * ' ? the grandeur of character shown by Gei , eral Lee, after the fall of the Confederac i a- he accepted defeat in the true spiri and spent the remainder of his days ii j struct ing the young men gathered arour him, the lessons of duty and patriotisi Then he spoke of "Stonewall" Jackso the ungainly, awkward boy, who d ^ veloped into the highest type of tl j Christian soldier, and whose career fu - nishes a lesson of strong, brave, earne - nfnnhood. such as in all the centuries tl 1 world has never seen. He touehingly a luded also to the gallant men who 1< , the fighters from the old Palmetto Stat mentioning the names of Hampton ar Butler, Anderson and linger, Gary an Gregg, Kershaw and Bee, Capers and M t Gowan and Wallace and others, i "Now, what of the private soldiers i the South?

In the days to come legend ar tradition will tell the tale of the ol r slouched hat, the ragged coat, the broke shoes, of men footsore and weary, hut men who looked upon death as the lion e looks, whose eyes were as the eyes of the eagle, when from his mountain crag he swoops upon his prey. * * * * * Q "And what of the South today ? There are financial troubles here and there, but 0 these are common to all lands ; there are s vexing questions of political admiuisg tration, but these come to every people. , and the unselfish patriotism of the many and the righteous will of the great people e will adjust these. It is a grand and ini spiring thought to reflect upon what the n South "was thirty years ago and what it is today. Villages have become towns and k" towns have become cities; mining wealth s has been discovered and developed; the y whistle of the locomotive engine awakes J. the echoes of mountain and valley, and great railway systems exchange the commodities of the North and the West for ,r the products of the South; shipyards have e been constructed whence argosies of coinmerce have gone forth to ride the waves of the ocean ; everywhere thrift, industry and vigor bring success to the present e and give prophecy of a future great in material development. More and more e each year the public school system is educating the young men for the responsibilities of life, for a broader conception of i- the duties and privileges of strong eiti le zcnship, while academies and colleges are giving a generous culture and banding ^ together an,army of young men and l~ young women into a high community of *1 intellectual aspiration and achievement, 5. are teaching the great lesson that all j studies, all pursuits that pertain to the humanities, have bonds of sympathy and k ties of association, that the* storied past is and the living, pulsing present meet, and |s in their blending show that the currents of all intellectual activities, of the 0 thoughts of the ages, mingling in one d mighty stream, sweep on and on, past empires that fall, past dynasties that fade ,e as fades the dew of the early morning. rolling on as long as the life of man shall 11 live on earth, as long as stars and blazing constellations shall make resplendent the t. heavens above us. r "Young men of South Carolina who may be here today, you have a goodly heri5" tage.

All doctors have tried to cure catarrh by the use of powders, acid gases, inhalers and drugs in paste form. Their powders dry up the mucuous membranes causing them to crack open and bleed. The powerful acids used in the inhalers have entirely eaten away the same membranes that their makers have aimed to cure, while pastes and ointments cannot reach the disease. An old and experienced practitioner who has for many years made a close study and specialty of the treatment of catarrh, has at last perfected a treatment which when faithfully used, not only relieves at once, but permanently cures catarrh, by removing the cause, stopping the discharges, and curing all inflammation. It is the only remedy known to science that actually reaches the afflicted parts. This wonderful remedy is known as "Snuflles the Guaranteed Catarrh Cure" and is sold at the extremely low price of one dollar, each package containing internal and external 11 edieine suflicient for a full month's treatment and everything necessary to its perfect use. "Snuflles" is the only perfect catarrh cure ever made and is now recognized as the only safe and positive cure for that annoying and disgusting disease. It cures i all inflammation quickly and permanently, and is also wonderfully quick to relieve hay fever or cold in the head.

One of the leading alienists of Chicago, with a practice of 30 years behind him, had an experience not long ago that was entirely new to hiin. It was near his hour for starting to his lecture class In a West Side school. Three women were In the waiting room. Two of them were willing to make an appointment for the next day. The third one, a stranger, would hear to no delay, and the doctor's assistant showed her in. "I had my hat in my hand," said the doctor, "and she had been told that I was In a hurry. She came across the room In a most leisurely fashion, however, taking three times as much time as the ordinary person would. She 'was chewing an unusual wad of gum? a whole package, I should say?and she was chewing it with desperate vigor. "She sat down slowly, and I asked her a question. She looked straight at me and went on chewing. I spoke again and again, but she sat looking at me and chewing in as much silence as was possible under the circumstances. Finally I said to her: " 'Madam, will j*ou kindly stop chewing long enough to answer my questions?' "Then she burst out, sobbing:" " 'That's just what I'm here for?I can't stop?I've got to chew?and I've been chewing just this way for more than two years.' "?Chicago Tribune. Wbeeler'a Bravery, Wheeler's charge at the battle of Shiloli was ^iid by General Grant to be one of the most splendid exhibitions of human bravery he had ever witnessed, .and a feat which roused admiration among both armies was when the intrepid little general accomplished the destruction of Rosecraus' provision train after the battle of Chiekamauga. On Dec. SO, 18G3, General Wheeler attempted and successfully carried out one of the most daring, perilous and Important duties ever assigned a cavalry commander. He crossed the Tennessee river in the face of a division of cavalry under General George Crook, drove back and worsted the troops that guarded the Federal trains of 000 mules and 1,000 wagons and captured the whole, with 1.500 prisoners. While he was thus engaged Rosecrans' cavalry, S.000 strong, swept down upon the Georgians. The latter charged and repulsed the northerners, capturing the forts at McMinnville, Teuu.. with (>00 prisoners and great stores; capturing the forts and destroying the bridges near Murfreesboro. and then, as full of fight as at the beginning of the engagement, they turned and put to rout General Ilooker and the Eleventh and Twelfth corps that came riding down at the moment to reenforce the Yankees.?Chicago Journal.

A Little Advice Boys Will Bo Well to Follow. If it becomes necessary for you to leave school for a time and go to work, do it gracefully. Work is honorable. Don't be afraid of it. It would be an excellent idea for everybody to learn a trade. The old Jewish law made it obligatory, asserting that if a man neglected to teach his son a trade he did the same as make him a thief. The emperor of Germany is a bookbinder. The fact that you have a trade need not make you work at it, but with a good trade at his fingers' ends and good health to back it a man is seldom floored, 110 matter where he finds himself. < "? ofo-rf Innrn n tradp rpmpm ber that the harder you work and the more closely you apply yourself the sooner you will outstrip all your chums and land on the top of the ladder where situations are many and wages arc high. Don't be afraid to work. Don't be content with merely putting in the allotted time, but try and find out the best way to accomplish the work you have' to do in the neatest and most expeditious manner. You may think that etfort of this kind is not appreciated, but it is, and when some tine day there is a chance for promotion and when you find yourself singled out from half a dozen of your chums and sent up a step higher don't attribute it to luck. On the other hand, if you go fooling along, doing just as little as you can and not even that until you are told repeatedly and then in a slipshod and slovenly manner, don't attribute it to luck when some other fellow is allowed to go several rounds above you on the ladder at better pay. ? J. W. Burgess in American Boy. TICKLES AXD MUMPS. There has recently been an epi demic of mumps-among the school children of Denver. According to the rules of the health department, a child may not return to school until he has fully recovered. Every afternoon brought to the health department 15 or 20 youngsters, some with swollen cheeks and some without. It was the duty of the physician in charge of the ofhce to examine these applicants for clean bills of health and see if any trace of the infection remained. This worked a hardship on mothers waiting with their children, and Dr. Carlin^ the city physician, bethought himself of the magic touchstone, by which Miss Mollie Currigan, guardian of the outer office, might herself test the applicants. "Pickles are the thing," said Dr. Carlin. "If a person with the slightest trace of inflammation in the thyroid glands takes a bite of anything sharply sour, the face is instantly contorted. In extreme cases the pain is severe." Now, when there is no doctor in the office, Miss Currigan lines up the applicants for certificates and goes down the lines with the bottles of pickles. If the. child takes the pickle and smiles as a healthy child should, he may go back to school again, but if he scowls in pain he is condemned to stay at home. HENRY CLAY'S BOYHOOD. Henry Clay, the "millboy of the slashes," was one of the seven children of a widow too poor to send him to any but a common country school, where he was drilled only in the "three IPs"?reading, writing, arithmetic?but he used every spare moment to study without a teacher, anil in after rears he was a king among self made men. The boy, who had learned to speak in a barn, with only a cow and a horse for an audience, became one of the great American orators and statesmen. FACTS ABOUT THE OSTRICH. Although the ostrich has powerful legs and can kick like a mule, his limbs are very brittle and are easily broken. He has two toes on each foot, one being armed with a horny hail, which he uses as his principal weapon of warfare. When an unarmed man is attacked by one of these birds, the chances are very much against the man unless he can climb a tree or jump over a five foot wall. LITTLE JOHNNY'S QUESTIONS.
