RUMOR OF A NEW PAPER IN LAURENS. I Senator Irby's Friends Wl'l Estab lisii it. so It is Stated, Because The Herald is Expected to Stick 1o Ben Tlllniau Through Thick and Thin. Another paper. Iu I .aureus. Another Reform paper. That's what's in the air. Of course there's no telling how much truth is in tho rumors. Ono can hoar anything. But the rumor is current. Tho Advertiser prints it as hear say only. What tho inevitable "they say" is is this. That Tilltnanism is now divided in two parts ono of which is Irbyism. "They say" that tho Herald does not appear to ho less a Tlllmanlto paper than heretoforo and that it doos not seem to bend tho kneo to Senator Irby as against Bon Tillman. "That Is what ails Hannah." . "They suy" that Laurons must have an Irby organ and that forthwith ono will bo established. That Sonator Irby'send of tho log must bo held up in thi.6 county. That unless tho HER ALD grinds an Irby tune, that such a tuno will bo had from another instru ment. Tho movement as yet has taken no definite shape and possibly will never materialize.
