W. BALL, Proprietor. LAURENS, S. 0.. Dec. 22, 1890. It would bo amusing to read of tho War cry of Mills, Morgan and othor feouthern Sonators If tho history of the wars of tho Unitod States did not ?avour of sadness for tho South. Dur ing tho Napoleonic wars tho United 8tates managed to koep clear of tho ?orimmagc, tho Yankees did the car rying trade for this continent, got rich, invested In manufaoturos and now wo aro howling about their monopolistic -wealth. Tho South largely fought tho Mexican war, got an cmpiro as the re Cult, and in her insistanco that tho uired territory should bo freo to ?uthern proporty, she lost hor liber ? ties and the accumulations of two hun dred yoars. The South wants wealth ' and pence, and tho arts of peace alono bring wealth, comfort and civilization. A war with Spain means a war with some Europoan power at her back, two thousand millions of debt to tho Unitod States and even if wo should acquire Canada and Cuba this ond can only ac crue to the benefit of tho groat manu faoturing States of the North. Tho ??cankers of a long peace" ordinarily would bo boneflttod, but it is probable that in tho progress of the lasthalf cen tury thoso havo loarnod hotter than to Offer therasolvos food for guspower The Coxyltos can hlboruate in Florida and In summer luxuriate in tho shades of the palaces of Northern plutocrats The South wants no war?she has not a man to spare?sho is now inviting good honest emigrants to devoiope hor waste places and to enrich hor Holds Of course, it is natural, that our sym pathies should bo, in tho Cuban troy bles, with tho socalled patriots. The. Spaniard is not a lovablo character, and thousands of Cubans havo take*) refuge upon our soil?tho baso of their supplies is here and naturally wo would joy in thoir winning. But wo want no war with Spain and England, or Spalt; and France and Italy. All Europe would bo opposed to us on account our Monroo doctrine contention Again wo don't want to encourage a light in which we havo neither blood I nor money to spend. Wo aro not! cowards?nelthor are wo niggardly Now, unless we aro ready to march, or put up our money, wo should In com mon doconcy shut up. If there were any way to squelch Call, Morgan and Mills, gentlomen of tho Bob Acros stripe, wo would bo more than de lighted. Cloveland seoms to have his head lovol, Is taking things easy, and we havo every confidence that ho will avoid serious complications. Washing ton advised against foreign entangle ments. One viow however is worth while taking. This country is getting mighty big for its broechos. Should we get into a big war and bo soundly drubbed and loso in tho windup New England, Now York, Now Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois, it might toach us humility and mend our manners. Bo kind enough to look at both sides of tho question. Tho ter ritory wc mention would kolp out Canada nlcoly. The Spalniards too would havo to bo compensated; thoy would appropriate Florida and Lou isiana. Mexico, first counln to Spain, would recoup her lost territory and whoro would we be "at?" Lot every vot er who can spare a two penny stamp write to his Congressman to keep us out of trouble. Wo havo roconsiderod since wo wrote about the old vets being hungry for the pension roll. Hut, there is this; there is always consolation. Altgeld can come down South and rejoice with Tillman, Marlon Butlor and Tom Watson that Wall Street, Tammany, and tho Goulds have beon reclaimed by England and Lombard Street whore they right fully belong. The confederacy is established and tho dream of Jefferson Davis a reality. "Hurrah for tho bonniebluo flag. " * ? ? Hon. Hillary A. Herbert, Secrotary of tho Navy, has published a satisfac tory letter in answer to criticisms of the war ship, Texas. Ho explains that the ship Is altogether satisfactory and flrst-olass. Herbert Is a nativo South Carolinian?a Laurens boy?has sus tained himself nobly as a momber of Cleveland's cabinet and will retire full of honors and respected by all par ties of this groat country. We aro proud that he did not run up a whito Hag in the faco of the Tom Watson crowd. He is not of tho stuff that Morgan of Alabama and Daniol of Virginia aro mado of. #** President Cleveland returned to Washington with a carload of ducks.? Gov. Atkinson, of Georgia, has six fat - 'possums for Christmas. The Brer Bab bit State keeps up with the procession. Tom Watson, Sain Jones, Hill Arp and 'possums and 'tatersnrenn aggregation not to be "grinned at." V Another man has boen killed by tho whiskey constables. This was ovor in the sandhills of Chesterllold. By the year of Grace 1000 tho labors of tho census statistician will bo largely lightened. *#* Presidont Clovoland was down in Georgetown last wook bent on oxter mlnatlng our ducks. Tho city of that name extended him tho hospitalties ' and enaoted fulsomo resolutions, but how the ducks took his visit has not . been quacked. *% The Spartanburg Herald says that President Cleveland probably brought his demijohn to the Georgetown duck ing grounds. Tho Herald seems to bo "up" as well as "down" on Mr. Cleve land. Great enthusiasm is aroused over the entire land for the Cuban Patriot? since the death of Maceo. The press in this stair is warmed up to fever heat; but the people don't seem to respond and no great meetings are held in these newspaper towti8. A Joseph surface of much sensibility expressed to his friend sorrow at the loss of a house by a neighbor. I am sorry $ 10.00 said the friend to his tender hearted interlocu tor. The young Marquis Lafayette brought Iiis Influence, person and purse to Washington and Franklin, sympathetic expressions may avail?; but only to excite patriotism in others.
