The convention at Memphis is dlsap l)oj^^Bjf, liko many things in tl>is JEQv It assembled with a mighty ^Voise and rattlo and flourisli of trum pets, but the country has not been taken by storm. The venerablo caso of the mountains in labor is vory like un to it. But the caso should not be dis appointing. Nobody is going to bo se riously disturbed about a matter or matters that can't dovelopo anything under three years. If we can survlvo till then, wo can wait till the closo of the century. Cleveland is in good kolter, the fish and ducks aro likely to hold out, and ho will hold tho status QUO until Maroh 1897. Thon Congross meets In Docombor after and thero wo aro close on to tho new century. In the meanwhile Atlanta will have held tho great Exposition and thoso of us who Jk?v'? stood out tho hard timos will bo hardened and toughonod to wrlto with equanimity and without shakinglOOO,? Tho heated term Is on and wo might as woll keep cool. But wo wandor. Tho Convontlon as wo havo stated, was a tamo affair. Till man was ona of tho spoakors. Evon Benjamin was tamo and insipid. That tolU the whole story. There was one good sign; tho ontiro klttlo of fish sturdily maintained that they woro democrats, first, last, and all tho time. It is a pity that tho gontlomon woro so previous. No supply of bombast, gush, asm and firo works could hold oars. o things condition. TJWWIrWTW an end, and soon, of peoplo bothering about tho rest of mankind Solf preservation and selfishness fortunately end tho bothor. At Richmond tho Chiof Jus tice of the U. S., with ono othor gen tleman clothed in Ermlno ovorruled Golf's decision, and sot tho Registration laws of South Carolina squaroly on their pins. This is woll; It is in lino with our predictions; wo havo always boon in fa vor of States Rights; wo only woakoned when social ism became rampant in South Carolina and Calhounlsm was kiokod into tho middle of tho next township. Whon wheat and corn and potatoes woro proposed to bo mado the basis of a circulating medium, and when tho State wont into tho Bar Room business, wo felt weak in tho knees and concluded that our education had been most wofully neglected.? Samps Popo, an aged, venerablo and sanctified Reformer, ono who wo had seen for four years cheek by jowl wllh Tillman, up to tho oyes in Republican ism, rushed into tho U. S. Courts to havo our Registration laws declared un constitutional. Only in Equity cases is an injunction allowable; that used to bo the law; but wo concluded that in these strange, timos whon tho Governor of the State is Chief Tapster and hands around tho X X X we might bo old fashioned and out of date. No Con servatives in Laurens will care n stiver, having boon disfranchised so long, (practically) how tho thing goes. The Conservatives, long for, pray for peace and want harmony among all our peo ple and If peace and harmony prevail are willing to lot tho world wag. Thoy congratulate Gen. McCrady of Char leston, a conservative of conservatives who made tho argument, for tho State, and are perfectly jubilant over the op portunity to pay thoir part of his foes. And let her .roll, if you ploaso. They deserve poaco in tho future, in Lau rens. But thoy wilwnot be fooled into any more primaries, don't you know, except, upon a guarantee of an equal division of delegates to the Constitu tional Convention. This is not hoped for, counted on o1 expectod in Lau rens. To come down llat-footod to tho ? matter in hand, tho Court at Rich mond, hold that tho Court had no ju risdiction of political matters. And there an end. Wo arc inclinod to think that Chief Justico Fullor was right. Senator Tillman returns from Mom phis much stifTor in tho buck and will not help to carry out tho division of delogatos arrangomont. Ho is not op posed to it however. He is and he is'nt, ro to speak, and I hero is no tolling Whore ho is at oxaetly. Ho is justified in broaching the bargains for sovoral reasons: ono that tho antis rejoiced over Goff's docislon; and anothor, Charleston honored Hampton lntory, a third that the Conservative Press have beon independent, don't you boo. Tho fact is, tho antis are a faithless sot as ho boos thorn and ho is justified In playing false likewise. Just as ono falling into company with thicvos may turn rogue. Governor Evans has also been carrollod by a convenient roportcr since he roturned from Memphis and tho yells and huzzas of the mob out thero still rosound in his oar^. Ho thinks the Roformors can win against all odds, tho world, tho flesh and tho Bevil and ho wants to fight snmobody. No peace, no compromise Tho lamb has muddod tho wators far down tho stream but tho wolf drinks his blood and gnaws his bones all tho same. * ?* ? The ruling in tho registration caso at Richmond is tho first symptom of sound sense shown in nffuirs of South Carolina In six yoars. If it woro tho beginning of tho end of nonsense, not to say barbarism, 'twere a consumma tion devoutly to bo wished. * * * Albert S. Moore, of Now York, has committed Porgorics to tho amount of $150,000. ilu? Coming woman. ?ov. AtcHinwn, of Georgia was hissed by the girl* while making an address to the State Norme 1 College. The faculty refused to deliver a di ploma to a young lady charged with cheating; the Governor inter fered. The Memphis Sil verlies. "Gov. Evans thinks that this gather ing will bo the greatest of its kind this country has over soon." True, true; most true; truo indeed; "of its kind." The toachor8 of Laurons county will in a short while bogin a summer school at Laurons Court House. And thoy will discuss tho best methods of teach ing and those who aro in charge aro well known educators and great bene fit will bo experienced by those whoat tond. Laurons may soom dormant in some things but she "suro" is awake in tho educational line and the other com? tios of our State would find it to bo a good thing to imitato Laurons in this lino.?Honoa Path Chronicle. No indeed brothor, thero is no bucIi thing as *W m;" Laurcns is au up-to dute city, dont-chor-know. Laurons is moving steadily on and will bo tho Piedmont gem beforo sho hults. Every town In tho State had llfteen yoars tho go on her, and ton years back, her popu lation was under K00; now sho kicks tho beam with 3500 and thoro will be no halting or growing weary. Stand to the "manor born".brother. Gon. John B. Gordon, of Goorgla, publishos a lottor-that ho declines be ing again a candidato for the United States Senate for Georgia. Gordon was a groat soldier. Ho was a hero of a heroic age. Ho will llvo In his tory. It was pitiful; Oh 'twas pitiful, tho sight of such a horo, loworing his standard, four yoars ago. Ho had out lived tho days of heroes and fallen into those of tho Watsons. Young a8 ho was, ho had hotter shulllcd oft' this mortal coll with Toomb8, Stovonsand Hill. But ho goes now and worthy of his better self. Wo only regret that his politi cal ending was not liko that of Hamp ton. * # ? A dispatch from Memphis reads: "Bon Tillman is most out spoken. - Ho ?8 tho froo Silver people would not Cdirist if ho was nominaJt?^ on | ^jerm." This-jtffiY not go I ?^Ve "of this State know w"ell this pure und good man, With tho halo of tho traditions of this great State following him in distant fields, Tillman, tho blossod and tho pure, would not so soon cast olT their re formation spoil. No, No; Tho repor ter is under the baloful inlluonco of somo Columbia Ring; hypnotism is at tho bottom of it, may hap. * * * Tho Atlanta Constitution publishos a talk had by one of its reporters w ith Gov, Evans as he passed Atlanta cn route to Memphis. The interviewer make? our Governor soy that ho wt.s not "bucking" against any of the Courts in tho United States as he has been reported in the State papers. But peoplo in South Carolina will con elude that "bucking" is the vernacular of tho native Georgian and not that of the cultivated Aikon Attorney. * * ?? Tho old cry was "fifty four forty or figh't." Tho famed "10" urge an equal division of candidates for the Constitu tional Convention. This is the plan and only plan of peace. It is not likely to bo adopted in Laurens. Tho Conserva tives know how to stay out of tho pri mary and maintain their manhood and self-rospoct. * If right reason ruled in this State tho Fuller Ruling at Richmond would havo no tondoncy to chock tho return of peace and harmony among the white people. *** Two thousand wildcats at Memphis! What a fearful throat upon tho peace ful population! Yellow Jack once dec imated thorn, but that was a mild visi tation compared to this fearful cata mount invasion. J. R. Holland, defaulting Cashior of a Bank at Charlotte, who embezzled 15,000 has beon sentenced to seven yoars in tho Penitentiary, Albany, N. Y. * The prospects of tho Cuban patriots aro promising.
