AAUKKNS, S. (., Mar. 7, 1000. !t has been suggested thai candi dates should come with the peach blossoms. Preeminence in worth, or virtue, or fitness otherwise, Is not bo common as to attract the attention of the country and designate suitable persons to hold the places of profit and honor. Hence it follows that friends put forth their I el low citizens us quali fied to discharge duties that the pub lic demands, and as worthy of their confidence. In a republic it must be so and it is rightly so. Among the Romans those who aspired to the highest oillces must put on white robes and appear before the votors?and hence we have; candidate, clean, pure, white. Hence the primary and the de mand that all who aspire to place should appear before Ihe people that their virtues and lilness may be canvassed and judged. Wo trust that we shall have a Held full of our patriotic fellow citizens th's spring and summer and all have a merry good time. It is no slam thai our neighbors should bo chosen ami be thought a litter choice The best man is not always selected. Senator Tlllman visited the state last week, being one of the Olomson Trustees. He is reported to have done a little political sapping and incident ally discussed the delegates from this State to the Kansas City Convention The Hon. it. \v. Ihtrnwell was spoken of for the Charleston District and the Hon. Stanyarno Wilson, from this, the ?Ith District. Senator Mel.aurin also. Of course Senator Tlllman will go as a delegate for the State at large. Hut we cannot see how the two Senators can well go. They agree on silver, and trusts (as antis), but they are wide apart on the imperialistic idea,and an ti-imperialism is sure to be a big plank in the platform. Then we can't see bow MoLaurin can swallow Bryan as an anti-imperailist? except as one should take his X with a great deal of sweet ening and doctoring. Going to the National Convention is valuable as opening the door for the delegates to fat places in case the party lands. If Congress is likely to adjourn by the loth of Juno it Is not probable that the State Convention will be called to meet before that date, but some date of that month must be fixed as the National Convention assembles the Ith Of duly. The time is on us now for pitching a crop for the ensuing year. Just at this moment COtton is commanding a fancy price. In our innocence we may be led to enthrone him and make him again King. Two causes may ho assigned for the big boost ill the price. American spinners rushed into the market last fall and got what they wanted. Then the. European world hesitated to believe that the crop was more than a million bales short. And so it 0'*mcs around that foreign spin ners at this late day are ravenous bid ders. Let us be wise, however, and not plant the winde earth this season. A nine million hale crop will give us more money than cloven and fill our corn cribs to overflowing. V Old soldiers are beginning to appre ciate that the Louisville He-union will be tho last opportunity with many of them?as they are nearlng the margin of the river. Louisville is a noble city and great preparations are mak ing to welcome the old fellows who followed Leo, Jackson and Hampton. And so Interest is growing in the con test for the opportunity which Tin: Advertiser affords for one old "rebel" once more to join in the rebel veil You can vote by tilting The Advektiseu. A correspondent writ ng from llairston's Shop to the Free Lance, has these pleasant things to say: "Our cotton mill at Lftlirons Is mov ing up to the front. $50.000 worth of new machinery is to be put In at once. Quite a number of houses are going up for more operatives, linder the man agement of such men as President Lu cas and Superintendent Walker, the watch words arc "Shove along, keep moving." The company store is well managed by D. 11. Wads worth as business manager and K. \v. Sloan, bookkeeper, with eight or ten sales men. All the boys employed are from the country, and are worthy of their positions. A new $200.000 cotton mill with that enterprising business man, Dr. ft. F. Posey, at the head is t<> be organized In the near future. I.aurens is moving along. Anothi r industry is a plant for the manufacture of furniture with H. M. and K. H. Wilkesat its head.? They arc the very boys that can man age the furniture business. Messrs. Kennedy and Hudgens have in operation a 6team laundry. They aro business men and are making a success. All these enterprises give employment, so that there is no excuse for laziness." And here is what a Cross Anchor cor. of the same paper has to say: "I hear of another route spoken of by some of our I.aurens friends. That is from Laurens court house to Mr. Dan Yarborough's shoals on Fnoree river and to Cross Anchor, and if we should fall to get the Glenn Springs route extended on to the Seaboard Air Lino by way of Cross Keys and Sc dalhl. This route would go through a fine section of country, and I have no doubt but that this would be a good paying route for the railroad company a* there would be several towns built up at once on this route, I hear that N. B. Dial and Josh Craig are in fa favor of this route and they have got tho wherewith to back their judg ment." Mossrs. S. M. de E. II. Wilkes St Co., Laurens, S. C.
