LAURENS, S. C, July 20, 1807. A Review? The campaigners arc moving steadily towards the Western parts of the State. "Westward the star oi Empire takes its way." No new features appear, McLaurin very seriously defends his taritT votes; Kvans seriously attacks them; Mayflold makes a good,square argument in opposition to McLaurin's record and has some specific to mend the short coinings of the dispensary; lrby attacks Ellerbo for his weakness, laughs at .McLaurin, galls Kvans occa sionally and makes the feathers fly, ridicules the whole lay-out, with an occasional touch of argument as to tho issues sprung by tho quintette of statesmen. The meetings seem to con tinue smill 1 and Vli'Q attracting little interest. Public opinion is moulding slowly?and the indications as yet are insufficient to enlighten as to which way the cat will jump. Tho great body of Democratic voters lie in the Western Piedmont ? Spartanburg, York. Greenville. Anderson, Abbeville, and the satellite counties lying around them. As goes the volume of voters in these great counties so goes tho great Senatorial plum. The papers in the State, as a rule, are non-committal?straddling the fence. This, of course, comes from th^ro being a field full of candidates. Now and then a newspaper hits a candidate squarely, but as between the rest no choice is made. You must read between the linos which way they are laying their shekels. Tho Green ville News, the Piedmont Daily, makes no selection, so of the Thunderer, of Charleston, so of the Post, an evening luminary of Charleston, so of the Reg ister of tho capital city. The State speaks out wide mouthed for McLaurin and so its evening contemporary, the Record, each the echo of the other and t'other from which is indistinguish able. The great WOOkllos, the Ander son Intelligencer, the Abbeville Me dium, the Greenville Mountaineer, and others of the like ilk we are una able as yet to place. In duo time they will place their odds. The meetings have all been pleasant, but the wire edge is wearing Off and by the time the speakers reach this latitude, the campaign will have narrowed down to the real issues and it will be lively. Tho dog days are here. A foolish nonsensical suggestion has been urged of a combine between Kvans, lrby and Mnylicld against McLaurin. But this is plainly absurd. One man could carry the opposition as well as the trio it would look more like an entry of every man on his own hook with the hope of each to lead and if he fail to get a majority or if nobody get a ma jority, at least, to be second best and in tho second and last tug. From the tone of the country press the ecu try is sounder on the tariff than we had hoped for. There is a right stout con viction that we are all-round consum ers and that we must fight for a low tariIT or as near to Free Trade as we can get?atleast for two generations ? until we have manufactures to protect, and do all wo can it will require a half century to make us anything but con sumers of manufactured articles and producers of raw material. Would it were otherwise. Our good renders are entitled to have a taste of tbe pepper, mustard, ginger, spicc-B and other condiments that give relish to tho plain,every day corn dodger style of the campaign. In the way of sauce hero is a saucey letter to tho State from Cap'. Shell touching Col. Irby's reference to him down in A ikon: To the Editor of The State : I observe in the proceedings of the senatorial campaign reported from Aiken that Candidate irhy in hU harangue at that place,said; "MayAeld was poor old Shell's b ?by and Shall was a political corpse; so Mayflold is an orphan." In reply, I willsay, that Mr. Mayflold is not my "baby," but is the distinguished son of a noble sire, a .d is a gentleman in the trnost sonse, Tho most that I have had to do in creating political misfortunes was the part tak^n in advancing the possibili ties of a very unworthy blatherskite and fraud, who for six years misre presented the people of South Carolina Jn tho United Siates SenatO, and his name is John Laurens Manning lrby. I mav ho a "'political corpse," but tbank God.' I am not a moral mounter back, and to say the least, I have the respect and confidence of all good ehr: ? im people wherever known. The senatorial primary in Lumens county will determine to what extent my political corpse baa decayed, and how much voters appreciate swaggering swashbucklers. G. \v. Shell. Laurens, S. C, July 16, 1807. *** John C. Calhoun is growing papular in this campaign. Jofferson and Jack son havo grown to be great favorites in tho last six years. But a live dog is bettor than a dead lion. Givo us a live, lithe athletic, kicking Jackson. It is a nico affair when a loan yankee like Tom Reed can with a nasal drawl make a small potato out of the biggest man tho "great Stato of South Car olina" has produced. * * * Tho News and Courier is cool and complacent, the Charleston Post sar donic, -tho Greenville News jubilant and frolicksomo, tho Register watch ing, tho Record hugging McLaurin, the State reforming and explaining, tho Spartanburg Horald looking through it.? microscope for a gold bug. lrby is jubilant, Evans reminiscent, May field In earnest, McLaurin point ing backward and explaining, Duncan waiting. CASTORIA For Infants and Children. Kor (lie Marlboro Democrat. The Laurons Advertiser, ?of last week said: "Coals are not brought to Now Cas tle?wool 's Imported to a goat's houso. Watch that tho entire Egyptian cotton output is not dumped upon the great cotton patches of Col. C. S. McCall or Chancellor Johnson over in Marlboro and Marion. No wonder that Frye and lioar are coming to the help of MoLaurin and TUlinan, In noticing the above paragraph tho Marlboro Democrat, published right at McCall 's home. Bays : "The Adver tiser was evidently hard up for an item or else ho did not know that a COttO i mill not a dozen miles from the great patches of Mr. McCall, has been using Kgypttan cotton, and a deolarmatlon made by this mill thut if a tax is placed upon raw material the mill will use rone but raw otton 'Crawl in,' brother." This Is vindication enough for the action of Senators Tillman and MoLaurin in voting for the protection of cotton. Very well, wise bl'Othor. Then it is all Stuff about "bringing the mills to th cotton." We. tin-cotton producers of South Carolina are in a nice pickle if o tton can be produced In Egypt) handled and laid down ten thousand ml los distant over ocean and land at the Marlboro mills in competition with cotton grown at their gales. Wo should double the capacity and duplicate the mills. And bj the wa> it is consoling to Thk Advertiser to learn that there is a cotton mill down in Marlboro and that the liberal pro prietors are anxious for a tariff to on chance the price of tbo raw material they consume. The cotton planters In that neighborhood should encourage these mill owners. And tints we have another paragraph, don't you see. *. Fooled. The Senators, those pinks of "cour tosy," at the instance of Bacon, of Georgia, Tillman and MoLauron, "in nocents abroad," put cotton ties and bagglugon the Free List. When they got back to the House they went on the New England Protection List, of course. These Senators of ours are innocent people, and should be oxeusod for hollowing'' before they got out of woods. Fool Who'.-' Louisiana saves her sugar but Georgia falls on her "Bacon". V At Hampton, Lientennnt-Oovcrnor McSweony'8 own reservation, and where he edits the Hamp'ton Guardian, Col. Irby charged him with being in the big newspaper trust to suppress the campaign speeches. The Lle?t-Gover nor denied the "soft impeachment.", and the candidate graciously accepted the amende. These amenities between the powerful, are beautiful to behold. * The Cuban troubles bold out and so j does the internecine whiskey war in South Carolina. So we have two costly luxuries?the liquors and the litiga tion. Liquidation comos when the taxpayers walk up to the Captain's odice in October. * We are indebted to Hon. Stanyi rue Wilson for a copy of "An Act - to encourage tho Industries of the United States." It is a fearful docu ment, and in its title carries with it a fearful lie?being a Bill to rob the farmers and other consumers?ninety per cent of the people of these States. * * * A report went like wildfire throught out the State on Thursday last that Senator Tillman had boon killed by electric cars at Washington. How the canard originated has not and probably will not be explained. *** Senator Tlllman's Dispensary Bill passed the Senate, lie claims that it will enable the State to control tho liquor business, Then, again, it is claimed that it will not alter the law as it stands. ?*# Tillman tackled Speaker Reed in the cloak room of the Senate. There is some sort of a fish that shocks with electric power when touched. Our Benjamin knows about it. * ? The prospect is a little better for silver?England and France showing a disposition towards some International arrangement. +++ Thoro is danger that the pending campaign will turn upon moral and not on political principles. Seventy-five per cent of the State Press aro Ishmaelitcs in the ponding cam paign. In the present instance it will ho. commendable to hurrah for tho "un derneath dog in the light." The Dispensary bids fair to realize what its auth and advocates claim for It-?not f( ;venue only."
