HALL, Proprietor. LAUBEN Ss 8. C April 21st, 1891. If Bynum can't be elected Speak er let ?t be Crisp of course. Is John Inman to be the patron suint of Charleston? A National Whist Congress met In Milwaukee lust week. Was It a trumped up affair?_ War with Italy and American I soldiers beselging the Eternal City | is not to be thought of. The World continues to get in Us work. The Register has come | down to .six dollars a year. Do the "royal" receptions ten dered the president indicate aj drifting towards monarchy? The "Pat Wal?h Democrat" is tho freshest egg lately hatched in Georgia. Wo have no doubt Comptroller Ellerbo will do the fair thing and tax his patience as much* as any thing else. The rage for an ice factory which was at blood heat in our city last autumn has cooled down and the subject Is now tit a normaLtemper ature. A cruel Spnrtanburg Herald cor respondent says that big men In Laurons are sometimes made of small timber, insinuating that they may bo only wooden men after all. The opening of the Harris Llthia Springs Hotel at Waterloo will be a pleasant event for Laurens. A summer resort in twenty minutes ride with convenient schedules will be perfectly delightful. Think of tho girls to be there. We suggest the foi motion of a fourth party, of which Mr. Jasper Talbert, being a host in himself, shall composo the rank and Hie. Ho and Col. Keitt are equally entitled to privato orbits of revo lution . Those who are familiar with the hack horses of Columbia will not bn surprised that one of them bit til a darkey's ear. It was a mat* ter of necessity rather than taste on the part of the horse. Since booslery went up in the Wost by the election of the Sock loss Jerry to Congress, hosiery went down by the male population dropping socks. '?Old Harry" Is going to and fro iu the earth, holding out his hand to every other man's hand from the rear platform of a railroad car and ever and anon shooting off hits mouth. An investment of from six to ten thousand dollars in a hosiery fac tory will employ thirty-five or forty operatives. Men who have looked Into the matter say that, properly managed, it will pay fif teen or twenty per cent at least. In this there is food for thought. In two columns of The State, over u French pseudonym, ono of the ir reconcilables berates the Tillman administration and exposes many ugly spots to the public view. The administration deserves some-, thing more than wholesale critl- ? cism. It has dono mueh to be ap proved, a great deal to bo laughed at, and something to be despised. Only in the recollection of the I huge boasts and promises of the campaign does it appear ridicu lous. Whether or not the Conscripii Patres who accompanied the re mains of the late Senator Hearst to the funeral in California behaved themselves decorously,'is a small matter. The scandal is inherent in tho fact that any public money was expended in keeping up such ir.olancholy pleasures. By the way, wouldn't it be in the line of economy to scoop out some cata combs under the cnpitol, where tho dead senators could be stowed away In a Jiffy. Thotinurcns Oil and Fertilizer Mill has lived in spite of tho gene ral depression which has hampered the industry. Both In buying seed and soiling fertilizers, it has dealt fHirly and liberally with the farm ing population; and has oarned a high pinco in their esteem. Aside from tho fact that everything pros pers in Iiuurens, much of tho suc cess of the mill is due to- tho skill fir manipulation of Its affairs by Manager On!no. lively citi/eu of Luurens owes it to himself and bis friends to work for tho establishment of the State School for Girls hero among us. T. jrc is work before us and the time is shortening. By the first of July we must "say our say" to the commission. The city must remain united and determined to have the school and not dodge the fact that it will coat something. If Laurens e school, she will have gained ars on every other town in ?>, If she fails, let it be her .or fault. Tillwau on tbe Hub-Treasury. AJNcttheru njan writes us fol lows front Columbia to the Cincin nati Post: 1 spent this evening with the Governor and his family at the ex ecutive mansion. I was Impressed by his rapid, firm decisions and clear cut Ideas. He is probably 45 years eld, has one eye, and writes with both hands. I found him genial In his home, offering a wel come savoring somewhat of the ru ral. Five children, with positive clear brown and hazel eyes, firm yet affectionate bearing, were per fectly easy In the quiet dignity of tbe family room. The (Jo vor nor la thoughtful, but his great power lies in directness of speech and action. With its aris tocratic significance one would never accuse hfm of being a "gen tleman," but you believe his opin ions are carefully made up and honest in every sense. In response to my query he said: "I do not believe if the Fanners' Alliance wore polled In this State, one-half would support the sub treasury scheme. My guide In making up my opinion Is to ob serve the results in the Congres sional districts where, by vote, this has been tested. And I believo the Alliance of the entire South would repudiate It. Some leaders may foist it, but the rank and file?the thinking, reading members?utter ly refuse the absurd provisions of t he scheme." It may be well here to draw the distinction between the Alliance and the movement. Both are far mers' measures. The Alliance Is nine months old. The movement Is five years old. The Alliance Is national. The movement Is local. The Alliance is based on its well known "demand." The movement on local educa tional questions and alleged re forms. _____ ?.-#T Governor, Lieutenant "Governor, -^t'ittf ofiieorsTsix Congressmen and a majority of the Legislature belong tot ho farmers' movement? A small proportion belong to tbe Alliance. The present administration claims to be Democratic, loyally so, and that its ofucors were the regu lur nominees of the Democrntic party. - '? Beware of Ointments for Ca tarrh that contain Mercury* as mercury will surely destroy tho sense of smell and completely de rnr.go the whole system by en tering it through the mucous sur faces. Such articles should never be used except on prescriptions of reputable physicians, as the dam age they will do is ten fold to the good you can possibly derive from them. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manu factured by P. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O, contains no mercury, and is taken internally, and acts directly upon the blood and mu cous sufaces of the system.

No other envestment in the world is so absolutely safe, or con sidering the protection, more pro fitable than a life or endowment policy in The Mutual Liie Insur ance Company of New York, for the following reasons : ist. The coutrcct is baBed upon a natural and universally operating law of mortality, backed by the good faith and continued payments of the largest number (182,013111 1889) ?f carefully selected lives insured in any company on the re serve fund system. 2nd. The Mutual Life has the largest reserve fund of any insur ance company in the world?being now over $147,000,000. 3rd.

Its interest receipts have exceeded all expenses of manage ment by the enormous sum cf $55, 447,246,89. - 5th. Its annual income in 1889 exceeding all the requirements for paying deatli claims, matured en dowments, annuities, surrender values, dividends to policy-holders and expenses (in all amounting to $2 1,629,502.61) by nearly ten mil lions of dollars, or exactly $9,981, 6th.
