LAUKENS, S. C, June 1, 1807.
Ho Blunders.
Mchaurin is a .smart follow "uftor
tho order" of tho day, smart as that
word is used commonly. Wo aro not
quarrelling with his appointmont. lie
has written ?.; very short lottor to CJov.
Ellorbo accepting tho honor and in It
makes four points:
1st. Ho accepts with thanks.
2d. Ho will do his host to represent
all the people.
.'Id. Ho wants a primary this fall to
elect a Senator.
4th. Ho favors election of United
States Senators "by a vote of tho poo
plo," but ho is careful not to say by a
direct vote of tho people, aud wo are
loft to guess at his views. We prcsumo
howovor that he means a direct voto of
tho people. This would not bo De
mocracy according to Jefferson and
Madison, nor according to Calhoun,
Jackson or others of tho fathers. Tho
suggestion in the days of MoDullio or
Harper of this State, would havo con
gested tho mass from Caesar's Head to
tho Battery. It is not irr sympathy
with tho theory of this or auy repub
lic. It is of tho wooly West, out of the
whole cloth, and may be all right. Wo
do not combat'the idea by any means.
It is a matter of debate. We, of tho
South, who call ourselves democrats
have battlod hard and lost a million
men, and the accumulated earnings of
two hundred years of labor combating
the Idoa of being governed by, aud
trampled under tho hoel of a majority.
It may bo the right idoa aud wo aro
open to conviction. Tho theory of tho
majority of a town, county or State,
may work well, but the majority rule,
as of this nation, which works the
laws of trusts, monopolies, plutocracy,
corruption and forco, works tryanny
In our view. Wo shall see. Thorc was
onco an idea and we modestly suggest
It, that Senators represented States
and tho fathers established tho con
stitution under that idoa and tho Demo
cratic party a'ono of all parties have
insisted upon that theory of our gov
ernment. Hut we are old fashioned.
Other Pharoahs rule In Egypt. It may
bo that the world is so much bottor,
men are so far advanced, that tho
safety conserved by a six year torm
in tho Senate aud election by the Leg
islature is dangerously In tho tooth of
tho socialistic trend of tho time. It
may bo so. And if so, tho Sonato
Should be abolished, as a usoless ex
pense and absurdity. Whero is tho I
uso of a duplicate representation of
the people? If the idea of tho fathers '
that a sobor body, elected for six
years, by the people's representatives,
independent of the passions of the
"maddening crowd," as a cheek upon
rabid and wild and passionate legisla
tion is a wild idea, then a single legis
lative body, direct from tho people
should be the government. A Senate
of Lords is a more elegant luxury like
the Lords in Britain. Hut this talk of
ours is for consideration ; wo arc old
fashioned and may havo misconceived
Jefferson, Mad (son, Monroe and < lalhoun
Wo want light) and so do our readers .
Wo do not believe that this Govern
ment is a nationality. We think tho
States aro .States, and that the propo
sition to elect Senators by the people
may prove a dangerous experiment.
A primary by the Democratic party is
all right, but there let there bo a
halt. If we aro to become national re
publicans, th ;n the proposition to elect
Senators by a direct voto of tho people
is a long step in that direction. Even
Senator Tillman in denouncing the U.
S. Courts and .Judges, plumos himself
on his urgency of the sovereignty of a
State, and its exemption from suit as
individuals and ordinary corporations.
But A d want our people to think.
State Pr, ss Association.
This body of accomplished Caro
linians held their annual sosslon at tho
graceful town of Nowborry during last
week. They aro a patriotlo and en
lightened gang. Ex-Senator Walsh,
Editor of the Augusta Chroniclo de
livered tho annual address. His com
pliments to Daweon, ox-Editor of tho
Nows and Courier, vvro loudly ap
plaudod by tho Nowbeivy audlonce;
his allusions to Hampton as tho groast
est citizen tho State has had, whs
warmly applauded by tho spoctators.
It is not to bo oxpected that every
body will romomb?r in Wado Hampton
tho man who opposod secession, thon
when his Stato seceded mado the great
est sacrifices, in tho onsuing struggle
performed scrvicos shoddlng lustre up
on tho citi/onship of tho State and sig
nalizing the patriotism of tho South;
few will remombor with what patlenco
- and wisdom ho boro himself in 187(1-77
redeeming his peoplo and Stato against
odds unexampled in tho annuals of
this country. Hut thero aro hero and
there noble mon and women who will
approolato the daring of tho Goorgian
who ventured to praiso Hampton, tho
groat citizen and soldlor, in South
Carolina and did not forgot Dawson,who
as a young talontod Englishman, camo
. to the South,joinod Eitz Lefl and fought
It out with us. We thank Walsh, the
Georgian, for hi? kind words for Fran
W. Dawson and Wado Hampton.

Senator McLaurln, undor his ap
pointment, will servo until tbo 2d
Tuesday In January 1808, when the
General Assembly moots and will olect
tho successor for tho romainder of Judgo
Kurie'., torm- -five years from tho 4th
of March 1808. It Is now conceded that
thero will be a State primary after
(bo crops are laid by in which a big
crop of candidates will likewise be
similarly disposed of.

It was not many moons past that The
Advbrti&kr wanted to know who
wpuld Investigate the Investigators.
Our Junior Senator.
The advertiser aaid o>i Tuesday
morning last: "It looks llko McLau
rin" and by Wednesday morning It
was McLaurin* Gov. Ellerbo did well
to ond tho agony by disposing ol tho
spoils at once. It Is only loft for us to
diagnose what wo havo got.
McLaurin has boon Attorney Gen
eral of the State, is a member of tho
present Houso of Representatives, has
stood well in with the Reform move
ment, > tends well in with the Republi
can booses at Washington, hold a place
on a prominent committoo by tho fa
voritism of Zar Heed and all in all Is a
wary, alert and tricksy politician. Ho
o young, and comes from Marlboro on
our eastern 6horo. Probably ho has
as much ability as any man of his fac
tion lu tho State. We should say that
his political code Is accommodating.all
things to all men and conditions. Wo
should have a hard tiino to place him
? probably among the populists is his
natural location, among the socialists,
if they had a local habitation. It is
understood that ho favored government
store housos and money and scrip to is
sue by tho government as a national
eurroncy. This was, as wo understand,
Iiis panacea for tho ills tho country has
BulTorod by reason of stringency aud
scarcity of monoy. It is said that he
favors government ownership of rail
roads and telegraphs and othor popu
lar Issues and nostrums that but a
short ti.no ago had their day. Now.
these aro ?'demands" that havo never
been accepted into any code, however
Napoleonic, recognized by the Demo
cratic party socalled. JofTerson is oro
dttod with tho authorship of tho well
known Virginia Resolutions, and to
those and the letters of Madison in the
collection under tho titlo Federal
ist, tho old tlmo democrat is apt to
look when ho hunts up a notion of de
mocracy. Sometimes Jackson is named
and his Stato papers aud administra
tion papers and measures as a deposit
of democratic doctrlno, but we apolo
gize for naming him, for if there bo
a name in American annals that
ought to sicken tho Carolina gentle
men who so tlippantly appoal to tho
great C'alhoun, It is Jackson.?
Hut as things now go, as the fashion
is with tho present day political saints:
"I am a Democrat'' or a "Joffersoninn
Democrat," Is enough to sanctify.
Wo will havo to wait for fruits to
judge tho tree. We aro not quarreling
with Gov. Ellorbo's seloction?no
doubt he did as well as he could, or
could be expected to do. In tho mean
while) wo can expect littlo from any of
our great men?any come to lead tho
people out of tho widlernoss?any ap
pointed, oleetetl, or self stylod Moses.
Govornmont that does tho least harm
does tho most good. What we waut In
tho Sonate on tho part of our repre
sentatives is a hard tight against the
coming new edition of the McKinley
Tariff. Wo havo to truBt and abide
Tillman and McLaurin aud make the
most of them. It will do no good to
distrust them at the outset.
The Columbia Militia was inspected,
and paraded, at Columbia, on Friday
evening last on the grounds of the
South Carolina College. 'I be College
boys at the same time were playing
ball. The grounds about that great
city being circiunsei ibed, there was
not room, a collision resulted and a
dirty riot. Casualties: One of the
college boys, MeColl, scull crushed;
Professor Means Davis, head laid open
to the scull for an inch and a half; one
policeman, bead bruised, dressed by
city physician, and is out but not oil
duty: Maj. B. B, Evan's horse, (of
Adg't Gen. John Gary Watts' stall ) hit
with a spent base ball.
We are reluctant to comment. With
out an investigation, the blame will be
bard to saddle. And with an investi
gation it will be harder. We shrewdly
suspect that the affair was consequent
upon the spirit of vulgar official impor
tance now prevalent in South Carolina.
11 is suggested as usual by the linso
tiphiseated, or sophisticated innocent,
that there be an investigation to locate
the blame. We advise against it. Rotll
sides of the case will be proven. Never
mind the little matter of murder.

The News and Courier discussing
Senator Tlllman's statement, (In which
he turns "State's Evldonco") in tho
matter of ex-Governor Evans' use of
liquors, shows how Senator Till
man violatod the Dispensary law in
three Important instances. As for in
stance. (1) keoping in his houso liquors
to bo given away and (2) keoping un
tagged and untested spirits In his
house. (Thus tho hoalth and possibly
tho life of a groat National Function
ary, a Stato Senator, was jeopardized).
Again says tho News and Courier:
"Wo havo always wondorod why Sena*
ator Tillman has said that ho wished
"nothing olso on his tombstone than
"that ho was tho author of tho Dispen
sary Law." Was ho afraid of hla bold
violiation of tho Disponsary Law be
ing added to this Inscription?
Out, out, contomporary; out; tho li
quors cost nothing.
V
Senator Tillman used his pitchfork
last week. He wants to see what Sen
ators are speculating In sugar trust
stocks, Our senior Senator is able
bodied, and able-minded, but (he
giants on Olympus had a poor show
against Juhiter and Vulcan's thunder*
bolts. 1'itchforks are poor weapons
against "almighty dollars." Rut Till
man is at last on the right scent.
