LAURENS, 8. C, Sept. 20, 1806. What Does it all Mean. W Tbo overwhelming ovations pouring ,T Out over Bryan in Pennsylvania, New 1 Jersey, Maryland, and the East, must moan something. The Heathen, Horace, eighteen and a half centuries \ ago expressed in classic phrase, but I f reoly translated?I hate that low vice, ' curiosity. Lord Byron, a democrat of democrats, a despiser of the aristo cracy, and the best hater of the cen . tury endorsed the sentlmopt to its fullest extent. Now when Bryan struck Philadelphia a wook ago, a olty com posed to a man and a woman of dyed in tho-wool republicans, not so cultured as Boston further East, but a city whoro overy man, woman and child speakes Latin and is flippant in a half -.dozen tongues, the rush, the crush, the avalanche, the swell, the tidal wavo to hear and see Bryan has not been ex ampled In ancient or modern times.? Of course, therefore, it muat bo con cluded, that these culturod people, strong In all that makes mon and wo men feel their oonsequonce, cultured, happy, rich, would not be moved by such a low vice, and miserable mo tive as vulgar ohrloslty. It becomes ua, therefore, as Intelligent creatures interested in the passing events, in wh it is going on around us, to divine in time, what Is the meaning and significance of tho grand outpouring of the great populations of tho great cities to see and hear tho phenomiual "Boy Orator." We've been philosophis ing upon it, turning It over and over, and have arrived at tho aage conclu sion that it must mean-some thing. It is a pity to havo to wait to see But a thousand or more years ago some wise men?or otherwise suggested as tending largely to the happiness of humble mortftbj w^^^p-tl shapo evenjtajo. ^fcreirwUhea, the ^Orfs<d[lary virtue of patience. Unquestionably there has been nothing comparable to the popular reception accorded this young Nebraska hooslor, but whether he is to go into the seat of Washington on a cyclone, remains to be seen, and still wo ad vi so patienco, and a temperature of about 10 below zero with our readers, while Hanna and Jonea are employed in manipulat ing the cards. Wo muat perforce wait until the November ides to see whleh way tho elastic and uncertain cat may jump. But beware of great expecta tions from the Government. It bo hooves every man to sot his own house in ordor, to keep note of the laws of success and prosperity, remembering that economy and industry alone will pull ua through happily. Remember ing those simple principles, you can klok tho government, defy fate and fortune and laugh at what they call hard times. You can kick any mllllon aro, plutuorat, bond clipper or railroad wrecker into the next township, if you uave your own turnips, potatoes, corn, butter, sweet milk, crisp bacon, ohicken and hominy, and to use tho lingo of the day, by "Jingo" wo will do it. Tho new President can't bo in augurated until 4th of Maroh next, and Congress don't meet until 1st of De cember, 1897. *#* Bismarck says in a lettor that tho United States can maintain free and unlimited coinage of sliver, that it will hold its parity with gold at 16 to 1, and that Europe will be brought to the same ratio. Bisraark is "a statesman out of a job," old, old, old, out of date, ?a back number and four thousand ?Miles distant from tho matters he is ?* ?? <Ox>ut.

Page?He said, sir, you should pro euro him better assurance than Bar dolphfho would not take his bond and yours; he liked not the security. There is considerable talk about the Legislature when it meets in January investigation of tho Dls larltlos in Columbia, to the institution building by sashed with a Oca. Vfude Hampton. A correspondent of the Charleston Nows and Courier tells of having met Gen. Wado Hampton at Spartanburg last week and report him looking younger and better than he did a year* or two ago. Tho correspondent con tinues: ''Curiously, no one at the de pot knew who be was, but there were few who did not turn to look at him and the porters and small boys, and old ones, too, instinctively t?uohed their hats." Manifestly South Caro linians are not a people who bow to one whoso race is run. They have forgotten Hampton pretty quickly. A North Carolinian tells tho Observer of having seen him on a train at Laurens last week, and, though ho sat at the car window, In full view of every pass er by while the train stopped, nobody fiald the slightest attention to him, bough it was ascertained by inquiry afterward that a number of those who saw him knew who ho was. The North Carolinian raised his bat, and this was the only recognition the ex-General, ex-Governor and ex-Sonator received at Laurens.?Charlotte Observer. The Tar-hoelcr is mistaken in the town?it must have been in Aiken. No Laurens man has forgotten to yell for Hampton. If the town is rightly located it was a gang of bastard for eigners in ohargo of tho dopot that day. No Laurens man forgot9 a true hero? whatevor his opinions. Not in Lau rens! On a High Horse. Tho Stato Dispensary authorities when thomsolvcs caught up with when rottenness Is traced to thoir own doors, grow suddenly pious. They havo resolved upon prosecuting every Irregularity In tho county business for years. Vorlly, misery must havo company. Tho big offenders may es cape in the cry of "stop thief." * * * Strange. The pooplo of no other State In tho Union aeom as averse to contributing money for olection purposes as those of South Carolina. Our pooplo are not naturally illiberal, yet two appeals by The Stato for contributions, nowever small, to tho education fund of tho national Democracy havo not brought in a dollar.?-Columbia State. A lawyor named Strango died, and on his tombstone was written: Hero lies an honost lawyor; it is Strange. * * * Bryan snubbed Democratic hoad quarters at Washington and told tho groat managers that he did not boliovo in practical politics aud wanted no ad vice. He believes vox POPULI vox ?fc?I;=ihat he is a child of destiny. "Derives'from h?iYvWlrtril'iarrol and his cause, x" Tells, them, he doth bestride a bleed ing land, Gasping for life under-." Napoleon, howovor, had some trust In heavy artlllory and In the present case Jones should at least be booked for tho freight. Mr. Marshall Stevens, an English gentleman representing manufactur ing and steam navigation interests visited Charleston and other Southern Ports with the view of establishing a line of steamers between Manchester, England and some Atlantic Port. LI Hung Chang (as much one of our heroes as Citizen Ashley) says that Japan could flog the United States as snugly us she. did China. And so we would think if we had lived around China for tho last few years.

Don't mention such goodies, if you ploaso, brother Chronicle. Remember tho case of Tantalus. Don't do so again if you have regard for the peace Of your brother. Judge T. J. Muckoy is in tho State after a long absence. At Columbia among other observations ho said to Register reporter: "After fourteen years absence," he began, "I am again in tho storm contor of America. The wind may blow from tho North, tho South, tho East and the West, but tho storm Is always in South Carolina. Whon I loft hero Connoi was at tho head of tho bar, but as I roturn I find his Excelloncy, tho Governor at tho head of tho bar." "I am now in tho domain of his Ex cellency, the Governor, and as is tho custom in Europe, whon ono enters the domain of a sovereign. I shall report to him this aftornoon. I shall present him with a beautiful badge given mo in Connecticut whon I addressed a G. A. R. Post a few weeks ago. It has throo wooden nutmegs hung to lt. I shall also present him Jwith one of the wooden hams mado in that enterpris ing State." He asked about tho operations of the Disponsary and was much disappointed at dinner that ho could not get a bottle of wine which ho had ordered. He wanted V) know the various brands sold and expressed groat curiosity to see tho coat of arms of the Stato em blazoned on a vhlskey bottle."

CLARK JOHNSON'S INDIAN BLOOD SYRUP *ot a rew medicine?it's been "?VI right In this district for 30 sol it to-day I 5<fc. per bottle $ ?flU A Heal Society. It was the droam of at least some, of the founders of this republic that the civilization hero begun should stand as tho flowering of tho ages gone before, Thero should bo no military despotism, no hereditary nobility, no tyranny of priesthood or ohnrch. All men should have equality of opporluuity, and then, as water finds its level, sooiety would arrange Itself. Instead of this wo seem .thus far merely to havo repeated tho social dis tinctions of the old world. A more odi ous caste system than even that of a titled and hereditary nobility Is upon our necks. It is the vnlgar and prepos terous ariBtooraoy of wealth. An in finitesimal fraction of tho inhabitants of ono oity, New York, calls itself the "society" of this country. Thero are a million people in tbo country woro re flued, moro intellectual, moro brilliant iu all sooial gifts than any of tho men and women who pose beforo tho public at Nowport as tfib "sooioty" of tho United States. These persons with real sooial gifts may or may not bo rich. That is -fust us it happens. But it is timo for us to begin to know that a roal society has nothing ut all to do with wealth boyoud a certain nmouut uccofl sory to provide tho comforts uud rofluo incuts of lifo. Wheu wo ull understand that, thou, and not till then, shall wo begin to have something worthy tho inline of society iu this country. In tho real senso tho little gilded clique which poseH at Nowport iu tho summer is not sooioty nt all. It has no right to tho title, because its titlo is founded upon moro dollars. Evory in telligent neighborhood in Amorica bus the makings of a real sooioty surpass ing in brilllauoy tho preseut Newport aggregation. Tocotitiidor tho requisites of agouuino Booioty: First, thero is the social in stinct, which man shares in eommou with brutes. Thou there is tho iu stinct of kindliness and courtesy, which (list Ingulshcu the gentleman from the boor. Next thero must bo moral and so cial purity. A society without these would bo llko the region of lost souls. It would contain tho elements of its own destruction. In ancient Home, ill France, in England beforo Cromwell's revolution, this was the enso. Next? Well, wo shonld ueed that msthctio instinct which leads mankind to refine itself and its language and manners, to cultivate grace and beauty of person, which begin with perfect per sonal cleanliness, Tho aesthetic instinct will further load us to surround our -Jsslyes with what is dainty and pleasing to the ~cyey iliSido our homes and out side. This does not inea.i necessarily cost I iuess. A house of four rooms may bo as pleasiug to tho tssthetio senso as ono of twenty. Finally, to tho building of the perfect society thero must be added all tho iu , telleotual gifts and semi-iutollectual gifts mankind possesses. Tho cultiva tion of music, of artistic, dramatio aud conversational talent, of social games aud amusements indoors and out, all these go to tho making of best society. Why do we uot begin to build it iu ev ery town in this republic? American pooplo will not bo proud of tho fact that tho owner of Sunuyside, Washington Irving's home on the Hud son at Tarry town, bus at last felt obliged to closo its gates against the public. For many a yenr tho hospitable proprietor has let them stand wido open thai every tourist and stranger, in affect ionato ro m' lubrauco of tho great American au thor, might walk or drive in uud seo tho home which ho lovod so well. Bnt bioyclists turuod tho beautiful walks nud lawn into a rendezvous for a mob. They luuohod under tho trees; they trampled ou tho grass; thoy throw bones, papers, boxes, grease and scraps of food about tho beautil'ul lawn. And now the owner, a grandnephew of Irviug, re gretfully anuouuoes that tho bums havo fairly driven him out of houso and homo and he can endure it no longer. Tho gatos of Suuuyside uro closed hencoforth. How proud tho bicyoliug bums must feel of themselves I Iu uuothor ocutury tho orudo devious nt present inado by experimenters iu air travel will appear as antiquated as the original piano or tho original bi cycle docs now. Inventions for air travel ore crowding one another thick aud fast, aud it is enly nquestiouof a little wore timo wlien ono or moro of them will be successful. If u much inn oan bo made to riso of itself aud then propel itself 800 foot through tho air, it is ouly a mutter of mechanical perfection of ar rangement to make it fly 0 miles or COO. Tho possibility has boon demonstrated. A flying ship lately undoubtedly rose in the air uud lhoved forward 888 feet against the wind. This is enough to kuow. Tho rest will come. What livo farmers oau do oven in hard times hnn I.illustratod this au tumn by tho BUCOO0S of the agricultural fuir at .Woverly, N. ?I. Tho display of farm and dairy products was mado most attractive, games and l'uoitig contests really worth looking nt were introduced, and the affair was advortised far and near.

Bullotiu No. 11 of tho misoellaucons sorios of tho United States dopnrtmeut of agrioultnro presents in tabulated form the condition of tho Americau livo stock industry from 1880 to 1890. All tho livo stock in tho country iu 1896 is vulucd at $1,727,020,084. This is only $161,008,688 more than the valuo iu 1880. Jtfothiug illustrates tho present condition of tho livo stock in dustry moro forcefully if at tho same time wo romomber that tho populatiou of the Union hus iucronscd from 50, 000,000 in 1880 to 70,000,000 in 1890. For uino yonrs following 1880 both numbers and values of farm animals inorensed steadily and rapidly. In 1880 tho valuo wns $3,507,050.58. Iu 1890 tho first symptoms of dccliuo begau, tho yoorof the Daring failure, though what con in et ion that ovont could havo with live stock in the United States is not clear. Tho valuo has bcou going down irregularly over siuco. During 1892 and 1898 i.t roso feobjy, only to drop more rapidly )thon before In 1894 it fell more than $100,000,000; in 1895 over $815,000,000. For i890 tho vnluo is tho smallest iu 10 years. The principal losses have fallen on horses, mules and sheep. Horses alono havo fallen off $118,150,225 Binoo 1880. Thoir number is, however* greater than it was thou, although that has declined heavily sinco 1803. Tim same is true of mules. Of all animal!. cattle?milk cows and beoves ?are the only ones that show a good advanoo iu vnluo Binoo 1880, although those, too, havo f?llen off greatly iu tho past two years.

At tho opening of tho public school year iu New York city it was fouud that thero wcro 80,000 children apply ing for entrance who could uot get iu. Thero was not Schoolhouse room for them. They aro thus left to roam tho streets nnd bocomo vagabonds and crim inals when they and their parents really desiro that they should bocomo intelli gent citizens. If there in ono right a child has, it is to Boouro a good common school education. It is ivb much a hu man being's right as light and air and water aro his right. When a child is turned away from school because thero is not desk room for it, it is - gu there is something atrociously wrong. Now York city is by no means aloue fci this criminal laok of fiChoolllOUSO room. Tho liko condition oxist? to n greater or less dogrco in many of tho larger citios. It is not tho fault of tho school authorities. They have used all' the money they had to build houses as rapidly as thoy could. Wo havo men t'ioned the fact in order to show that hero iB tho opportnnity of thoir lives for men of wealth.

Broad Street, Atlanta, Ga. MEN, who hold the purse strings, often deprive women of articles of inestimable value. The wife pleads with her husband for a Piano or an Organ, which is tenfold more essential than the cigar and other luxuries in which hqundulges. The daughter asks father, or guardian, to buy an Instrument to enable her to cultivate that beautiful talent, musirj. Docs any sane man not rclize this a reasonable right to plead and ask for? Reflect a minute! Think of the means expended for instruction, and the many tedious hours employed in practice byjwife and daughter, and of their glowing anticipations subsequently to be realized. Now, father, husband, or. guardian, are ypu going to blast all these bright anticipations by denying them of this merited right?simply the gift of a Piano or an Organ?
