The anti-McLaurin United States Senatorial candidates seem to be making a strong effort to get a firm grip on the coat-tails of B. R. Tillman, thiukiug no doubt that they will thus be landed into v office. Some of these men were formerly opposed to Tillman, and fought him bitterly some years ago. What a change! jSxjpfvi.* The shooting of President McKinley has aroused the sympathy of the whole nation. Irrespective of party or creed, fervent prayers and earnest hopes are that his life will be spared. In every sec? . tion of South Carolina has this feeling been unanimous, and our people are L truly grieved because of this calamity. There is a reason for this; it is not simply Si- the outburst from warm, sympathizing Southern hearts. It must and does mean more. The words of Gov. Candler and Gen. Gordon, of Georgia; our own Gov. McSweeney, and the strong resolutions adopted by Camp Hampton, United Confederate Veterans, of Columbia, show - plainly that we are now one people? there are no imaginary lines separating any part of the country?and that President McKinley has the respect and confinL dence of all true citizens.

We thought what McLaurin and his crowd wante<l was discussion.? Orangeburg Times and Democrat. Yes, that is what we do .want, and if McLaurin was to arrange for his own meetings all over the State, the strongest candidate against him would?be gladly welcomed at such meetings, provided he |* ' j would discuss issues and not indulge in v personalities. Our editorial could mean nothing else than wanting "discussion," but somehow our friend seems to have ' took it the wrong way. He knows very ; well that national issues cannot be discussed in the time alloted with a multiplicity of candidates in the field, so we ivsuggest that McLaurin arrange his own ? . meetings and divide time with any candi^ date who wishes to speak, provided he Hp: will have a gentlemanly, calm discussion of issues. Senator McLaurin surprised his friends> v*. the enemy, by appearing at Anderson on 0k Friday and making another 4th of July 5 speech. He stated that he came because of provoking attacks made upon him during his absence. Wicked Greenville people allege that he was notified by wire that Senator Tillman has been laid up with a cinder in his good eye, and could not take the stump for some time. Johnnie came and received much applause, for he has many admirers in the benighted region where Josh Ashley is boss.?Barnwell fe People. The anti-McLaurin editors are certainly hard pressed for something to say when such statements as the above are made. fOur Barnwell contemporary ought to know that the people of Anderson are just as intelligent as the people of its own county. Speaking of Anderson as "the benighted region -where Josh Ashly is boss" is a slander upon the people of that county and Bro. Holmes should apologize for and retract his statement. gp Census of South Carolina, Washington, Sept. 10.?The census bureau to-day made public a bulletin giving the population by sex, nativity and conn: in South Carolina. The figures are: --"Males, 664,895; females, 675,421; foreign ^ born, 5,528; white557,807; colored, 782,509. A11 the colored people in the State are negroes except 67 Chinese and 121 Intdians. Females are slightly in excess in South Carolina, the percentage being 49.65 males and 50.5 females. The population is practically of native birth, the foreign born element representing but four-tenths of ten per cent of the total population. Over one-half or 59.4 percent, of the population are colored, practically all of whom are persons oC negro descent. The figures for Cnarleston are: Males, 24,218, natives, and 1,374 foreign born. Females, 28,997, natives; 1,218 foreign born. The total male population of this city is Ji5,592, of whom 14,010 are colored^an'd the total female population ~3(JJ?l5, of whom 17,359 are colored. State Organizer J. C. Wilborn, of the State Alliance, stated at Columbia Fridaj", that the reorganization of the alliance was proceeding well and that the order, in his opinion would, soon be organized on the same lines as formerly, so far as members are concerned but that the reorganization was for business and not politics. Mr. Wilborn said that the chief business fight of the organization would be against the Virginia-Carolina Chemical Co. Something to Remember.

Our Mark Twain?the American "eagleeyed, eagle-beaked writer"?created a furore abroad and returns to us with new laurels. Let us lift the cover of his nom de plume and take a peep into the true life of this great man. Samuel L. Clemens was born in Missouri, on Nov. :>(), Up to twelve years of age he was a laggard in the school room and in after years, while still a youth, developed a restless, irresolute disposition, causing him to accomplish little or nothing in his undertakings. At one time he was a tramp printer, getting jobs from place to place, but finally gave up press work to go on a Mississippi steam boat. "While he plied' up and down the "father of waters" the euiDyro plot was conceiveu mai gave u> the reading world in after years, the story of *4Life on the Mississippi." The rough life of tramping and association with all classes of mankind afforded ample material for the rich humorous character sketching found in "Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer." "Huok" is one of the most natural characters in the literary world, we all know such golucky-thank-the-Lord-for-Sunday-fellows It is refreshing to throw off the shackles of conventionality and be easy with the imaginary Hoosiers for a time. At the outburst of our civil troubles in the 60's Mr. Clemens went West and engaged in newspaper work. While casting about for a suitable name to write under, the steamboat cry of "mark twain"? a signal that the depth of the water was two fathoms?came to his mind aud ever afterwards he has been known to the world as "Mark Twain." "Innocents Abroad" immortalized him, 85,000 copies being sold in the lirst six months. It is a highly entertaining book, recording experiences he had on his Mediterranean trip, tilled with the richest humor. His graphic description of seasickness is amusing in the extreme. In 1870 he married MissL&ngdon, from Elmira, New York. Four children were born to them. Mark has a great hatred for all pretense and superficial vernaculars. He advises his fellow-men to have a general cleaning up in their hearts and "clear away, sweep, dust and fumigate the old rubbish therein." He abominates "polite society stories" and admonishes us to quit regarding a person's feelings or opinion more than the truth. We should know more of this bighearted, talented man and should he consent to the urgent calls for him to leave his Connecticut home and go on the lecture-stand, we may have such a privilege. What snail l uo mm ?y isoy? Should I send him back to the graded school and make him take five years to prepare for college ? Should I get a governess and let her piddle along with him here in the country ? Should I send him to the country school that might run one or six months, such as it is? Should I send him off to school at all?only thirteen and a half ? Could I risk my child in a strange community under and among strangers, in moral and religious peril ? Should I take him, at the risk of his life, into the treacherous climate of the far west ? A thousand times have these questions burnt their way though my soul this year and brought no answer till this morning. He was growing rapidly and would soon become listless, and lose interest in-hard study, and then ignorance would follow. Could I risk the possibility of raising a child that would be dwarfed intellectually by my failure to do a father's simple duty ? Could I doom him to a small life in a large world ? It was now or never. The crisis was on?far sooner with him than with many others under different circumstances. The family had favored Carlisle Fitting School, but I thought we had there a Primary Department that meant about the same as the Graded School?years of slow climbing. When I took the catalogue and studied the plan of the work, it took only a few minutes to see that the spirit of Capt. H. G. Sheridan, the father of the Head-Master, the Moses Waddell of the last half century, was in and his stamp on the school, and here in thirty miles was exactly what I had been looking for hopelessly. The Graded Schools are probably the best we can do now, but they are necessarily graded of children of only average intelligence and culture, and aim not at college but at preparation for life. I want my boy to go to college and I want him pushed, for only those made to work hard, work best. So he goes to Bamberg and saves two years in the time required to prepare for college, is under the influence of my church, which I love next to my family, and will have the strongest religious care and the best modern high school teaching: - He will not be taught superficially by -poorly equipped teachers, he will notbe told that he is in college already, nor be uniformed and made to waste time drilling, nor will he be deceived by any high sounding name of the school, and, above all, he will not be defrauded out of right ideals of education by being graduated! It is only a Fitting School, where boys and girls are so drilled as to get the "thorough mastery over the lower rounds of the ladder, and make higher climbing, in college or in life, not easy, but possible. These lines would not have been written but for the knowledge that a thousand other anxious hearts in South Carolina are throbbing with the same questions that have disturbed mv own. I commend the Carlisle Fitting School to those who want the best training, in the shortest time, under the safest influences, at the lowest cost for their boys and girls not ready for college.?John A. Rice in Southern Christian Advocate. Bells, S. C., Aug. 24, 1901.

When he is ready to plant, he soaks his corn one night, in soapy water, which will kill any insect or vermin that might destroy the grain. He says by this method, he has planted on Thursday and had corn up on Saturday. It looks like this simple remedy would get ahead of the bud worms.

Be sure to get a premium list at once. The latest bulletin from President McKinlev at the time of our going to press Wednesday was that he was entirely out of danger and his recovery is practically assured. The State Fair Association has decided on something new for this year. It has been arranged that the Fair will be open at night on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. This arrangement will enable many people who have to work all day, to see the exhibit and shows, and will also afford a place of amusement for the crowds who arrive lale in the evening with no place to visit, and on the whole it is considered a good plan. The State board of dispensary directors decided that it would not open a second dispensary in Sumter. At a previous meeting of the board it was anticipated that a second dispensary would be opened in Sumter, but the city eouaei! and leading citizens have petitioned against the establishment of a dispensary. The board decided not to opeu a dispensary iu Sum-1 ter. The Absent Treatment. Tiiis Christian Sou-nee business is all right," announced the fat man, as he sipped his cooling drink through the medium of a straw, "and the man who says it ought to be abolished doesn't know what he is talking about. That's right. I was opposed to it when my wife took it up. but at that time I didn't see the possibilities in it that I do now. Before the lady became a convert to the fad it was beginning to he a difficult matter for me to get a night otl' without exciting her suspicions, as all the old gags were about played out. Got a new one now and it's a beaut. When I went home tonight for dinner. I announced that I had a violent headache and would remain home for the rest of the evening, although important work 011 my books needed my attention at the office, and that by good right I should spend the evening working on them. "Nonsense," replied my wife, 'there is no such thing as headache; it is all imagination. Now you go right down to the ofliee and I will give you absent treatment while you are at work, and the suddenness with which your headache will leave you will startle you." "I pretended to protest; but she fairly pushed me out of doors and here I am with my headache all gone and the night ahead of me. But, say, the head I will have on me tomorrow will not be imagination! Get us two more barkeep." Geo. AV. Lane, Pewamo, Mich., writes: "Your Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is the best remedy for indigestion and stomach trouble that I ever used. For years I sulfered from dyspepsia, at times compelling me to stay in bed and causing me untold agony, I am completely cured by Kodol Dyspepsia Cure.

Brought Along His Proof. A man came into the waterworks office the other day and said he wanted to make a complaint. He was an excited man, who breathed hard, and seemed to be anxious to have his case attended to at once. "Say," he remarked, as he passed a large colored handkerchief around his generous expanse of neck. "I want to complain of a woman who wastes the city water, and I want vou to go right up there and shut it off." The clerk at once scented a neighborhood quarrel, with an incidental desire for a petty revenge. "How do you know she wastes the water?" he asked. The complainant's face grew dark. "How do I know it?" he cried. "Why, she threw a bucket of it on me!" The clerk kept a straight face. "Have you any proof of the charge?" he asked, with a serious air. "Proof!" echoed the complainant. "You bet I've got proof! I ran all the way down here so's you see how wet I am." Then he departed, highly satisfied with the promise that the case would be investigated.

A correspondent of the Raleigh News and Observer, writing from Rutherfordton, N.

When night came he removed the box to the woods, and since that time he has made that box his home. Starnes lives five miles northwest of Blacksburg, S. C.
