HALL, Proprietor. LAUIIKNS. S. C, June 15, 1807. Everybody should know bow n cur tain gontloman inhabiting certain re gions bud his feet divided. Corborus guardod his dismal abode. Tlllman and MoLaurln voted with Hoar and Allison and the leaders of tho Repub licans on the raw cotton question. Pour other sooalled Democrats wore found voting with the Republicans, and two wero Coorgia Bonators, and theso will no doubt bo able to persuade their con stituents that thoy aro Democrats.? Certainly, there are mon right hero amongst us that they can satisfy that Calhoun, McDuflle and Iluyne wore fools. Rut, surely all tho peoplo aro not fools, anil wo arc not going to bo fooled all the time. We havo cor talnly until January to cotno to our sonsos. Tho veto In question was to impose a twenty per cont ad Valoron tax on raw cotton imported Into those States. Tho bulk of the Democratic party with Vest loading stood llko a stonewall In tho broach whiloour Sena tors dosortcd, joined the onomy, and firod upon thtdr friends. They had tho applauso of tho Northern Sena tors, and will get their reward a thou sand fold. The prlnciplo for which tho ffouth has contended for a hundred years has boon sold bodily out. Wo of the South have to find a foreign mar ket for olght millions bales of cotton, whilst only about one hundred thou sand balos long cotton Is raised in all this country. We buy untold millions of sugar; in a district as wide as Lau rons county sugar is cultivated in Louisiana and for tho60 miserable in terests the Democratic party and tho South Is bodilv sold and sacrllied. We had hotter buy at a double price thooo miserable long cottou Islands and the sugar farms in Louisiana. That Northern Republicans aro hugging thorn to their bosoms is not to bo won dered at?join your Senators and you havo your loving arms enfolding the nock<* of tho Northern brethren who onslavo you. What fun to soo Laurens Democrats and Maine Republicans drink from the loving cup and shout ing hosanahs to protection. Rut, wo aro saying it, as perhaps, ought not to say It. Let theso Senators of ours satisfy their intelligent constituency that thoy woro right in joining the Republicans who woro voting a high protective tariff on a schedulo of throe thousand articles of which the South are consumers for the sake of a fow miserable bule? of long cotton raised on Islands that a coon can cross in three jumps. Rut wc fear that they may succeed. In the meanwhile we will ransack Kuropo, Asia and Africa and the islands of tho seas, for people to take our raw cotton and cotton goods. Senators Tlllman and MoLaurln, with Congressmen stokes and Latl mcr called on Prosident McKinley and asked that Gen . Hampton bo retained n tho otllco of United States Rail Road Commissioner. This will bo bad news to those who yollod six years Rio over the discomfiture of this great clli/on. The President assured tho gentlemen who went without solicita tion, that (ion. Hampton would not bo romoved ponding his feoblo health. It was a graceful act on tho part of Tlll man and tho other gontlemon. #*? For 9lx years wo havo endeavored to impress upon our readers that politi cians belonged where thoy votod and should be classed by the company they koop. Roar In mind too that this fall when tho primary comes thoy will al most persuade us that protection and helping the yankeo manufactures with ahigh tarllT is JolTersonlan Democracy. Watch. Coals arc not brought to Now Castle ?wool is Imported to a goats house. Watch that the entire Kgyptlan cotton out-put is not dumped upon tho groat cotton patchos of Col. McCall and Chancellor .lohnaon ovor In Marlboro and Marlon. No wonder that Kryo and Hoar aro coming to tho holp of Mo Laurln and Tlllman. The exhibition tho State is making of herself at Columbia, through hor High Court of Inquiry, Is supremely ridiculous. Only a finding against tho commandant of the troops can bo oth erwise than iatuous. Govornor Kllerbe -4t-being made a cats-paw of and we fear that ho Is not aware of tho fact. The burning question at this stage of the game, scorns to bo?what Is an "original packago". It may moan that the Dlsponsary must pack up and pack. The fact is that tho Courts aro far bo low the capabilities of our Amorlcan English. #*# Bacon comes from Mooou, and ho Is cIobo upon tho ^iro grass region of South-W-"" Goorgin. When tho Son mvt> roaches tho hay schedule we may hear from Racon again. Likewise, it is the homo of the cooter and his inter est should bo regardod.

Co Senator Till man und President Mc Kinley are on wonderfully good terms for men of auch wide divergence of views. Senator MoLaurin is highly regarded by the Prosldont.?lt. M. L. Washington cor. N'owb and Courier. The tariff views of these disting uished gontloinon, kindly commend ihom to McKinley. Nobody is bother ing about tho little matter of silver. It is a little matter of pleasantry with Senator Tillman, now and then in tho Senate. But tho pitchfork is not for McKlnloy. * * * Senator TUlinan's allginont on the Tar lit with the Republicans is roundly criticised by tbo Columbia Register. Hut should not the Register have known where to place; Tillman politi cally? It is lato to lock the stable door. m * * Tillman and McLuurinaro both pull ing with tho Republicans. Is Tillman or MoLaurin holding the appendix to the other's outor and upper habili ment? A eotcrlo of Sonator Tillman's Latl rens friends want his connection with tho Dispensary Investigated. They make demand on Governor Ellorbe to appoint tho invoaf igators. They say that corlaln nowspapors have accused him of crookedness but they do n< , name tho nowspapors. It ij vory dan gerous to deal in-gonoralit ios?bettor name the aceusars and be done with it. Shoot for tho bull's eye. We arc of those who have considered Benjamin very honest hhnsolf, but have been sceptical of his surroundings. There Is another view to take of the sugges tion. There Is no anticipating who Gov. Ellerbe might appoint ns an in vestigating committee and by such committee a white-washing might throw grave suspicion on the dis tinguished Senator. The Lauroua friends fail to suggest any practical plan of investigation to Governor El? lerbo, or tho names of witnesses, or accusers, and the Governor If he be comes Prosecutor will ask the aid of the gontlomen who nsk for the Inves tigation. The following card appeared in tho Columbia State of tho 10th in stant and will explain our remarks: To His Excellency Gov. W. II. Ellorbe. Many of tho nowspapors throughout the Stato aro charging Senator Till man with receiving disponsary rebates and Senator Tillman having in his re cent lotlor made a formal demand up on your excellency for an immediate investigation. Now we as Reformers, oall upon you to order an immediate investigation. If, after a fair and im partial trial, Mr. Tillman is found guilty let him bear tho odium and shame that will necessarily follow. If on tho other hand be is ad judged inno cent let the same newspapers who have made tho chargos do Senator Tillman justice by correcting their chargos and proclaiming him an innocent man 1 severely prosecuted.

The Commencement exorcises of (be Princeton High Schoo] have just closed, and we think it aafo to Hay that this was one of (he most BUCCCSSftll and enjoyable Com* monceiTlcnts in the history of the School. The annual sermon was preached on Sunday, MayJJOth by Rev. Mr. Pnrrott, of Clinton, H, O., who de livered a very forcible discourse to a large and appreciative audience. Tho school exhibillotl embraced two evenings. iVlay 81st and June 1st. We shall not attempt to give hero the elaborate and well ar ranged programme. Sulllco it to say, that with such a diversity of attractions as w< re offered in (he way of pretty recitations, plays and dialogues dispersed with wit, humor and pathns; with now and (Io n a laughable farce, to say noth ing of the beautiful drills, the large audience scorned Interested to (he last and frequently gave expres sion to their enthusiasm in loud bursts of applause. The pupils ex hibited careful training and did credit to themselves and teachers. Throughout, both evenings splen did music was dispensed by the Princeton Orchestra, led by that accomplished musician, Miss Car rie daines, of Willianiston, s. c. Tho annual school picnic took place on Wednesday on'the school grounds and was a most enjoyable affair. Some most excellent ad dresses were delivered in tho morning by the following gentle men: Hon. W. D. May Mold, State Superintendent of Education, lion. A. II. Dean, of Oreenville, Rev. W. IS. Wharton, of Honoa Path and Rev. S. I). Vuughun, Prince ton, S. C. It is unnossury (o speak of (ho bountiful dinner, but twice the number could have been fed. As a finale, the young people had arranged a lawn party for Wednesday evening but this wild unfortunately broken up by fain. Not to be outdone oven by tho fates, the boys determined to try the inconstant Goddess tho second time, so another parly was ap pointed for Friday and proved It) be one of tho most pleasant fea tures of the Commencement. We have in our midst several of the fair sex. Among whom arc? Mrs. T. R, Kiigorc, of Oreenville, accom ponied by her charming daughter, Miss Fannie. Also, Miss Julia and Alico Williams, Wil liamston, 8, 0. We hope they may prolong their visit. X.

Wright tells in Recreation where much of Montana's gamo has gone. lie says: "I have known two solf called sports men to leave Spokane for two days, and on returning tell of having killed Oa deer, a story the ranchmen at whoso home they put up corroborated. That was yoars ago. If would take a long hunt there now to kill (ill deer. I once knew a man to go and make a winter camp and kill over 100 deer, which lie hung up. lie tried to sell them whero they hung, hut failed. He went east somewhere, whoro ho lived, and I've never heard of him since. He claimed to have killed 100, hut I counted lfi0 carcasses in sight, near his camp the fol lowing spring. "While going from Pnlmer'H lake, In Washington, to tho Salmon rivor I pass ed through Toatscouleo and stopped . overnight near a small lake on which was camped a party of hunters. It would have been easy to load a four horse wagon with the heads of deer alone that were piled up in one place. There were deer carcasses all about the camp. "I could name more than fiO of such hunters who havo killed thousands of deer and left theni where they fell. On ly last winter two men left Spokane and killed 88 deer in Idaho, pot bring ing oid a pound of meat to show for it. "1 have seen many Indian hunts, one of which resulted in tbo death of over 400 deer, but not ono of the deer was wasted. The Indians hunt and then eat the meat boforc they hunt again. Thoy kill to Oat, but tbo whites kill for fun. Last spring ono man in tbo Hitter Hoot valley killed seven elk without stirring from his track. Not ono was saved. " Teuiiyson mid Ills Wife. Tennyson was devoted to his wife, but, like a man of truo taste, ho wroto very litrlo nbout his feeling for hor. That beautiful dedication beginning, "Dear, near and true," is that bit of his writing which will bo most oftou assooiatod with her name. She was a shrewd critic of her husband's work, Tennyson has been accused of inability to fuse the difleront portions of a long poem, and the difTeronoo in stylo bo tween "Tho Coining of Arthur" and "The Passing of Arthur" and tho other "Idylls of tho King" has been cited in illustration. Concerning this dilTeronoo Lady Tennyson said to her son only two days before her death, "He said 'The Coming of Arthur' and 'The Puss ng of Arthur' are purposely simpler in style than tho other idylls as dealing with thoawfulness of birth and death," and she wished this statement of the poet to be put on record in her eon's biography of his father.?Now York Tribune.
