LAUREN'S, S. C, April 10, 1001. Richmond. Mosby, the Confederate scout leader and politician bas this to say among vory sensible things touching tho South: "Richmond IS the city most likely to becomo in time tho banking centre and commercial headquarters of this country, and therefore of the world Tho days of that famous old city as a political Capitol are past, but its ca reer as the central point of manufac ture for tho whole South, and from there for ttie world at large, is just be ginning." Natural advantages bear out this prophecy, and the old Southern capitol will not have fulfilled her manifest dostlny unless it shall be verified. *#? Head and Live Issues. Now and then anil not infrequently, what Is Democracy is asked with super cilious air, Tho "Virginia and Ken tucky Kosolutions" written about century ago by Jefferson has been for that period accepted as the creed. Der haps not one in ten thousand of those, who claim like Hill, "1 am a Demo crat" has read them, and if lie had would swear implicitly by their mqoV ern or this day trend. And thore are many issues of every day's cropping out that eannot be referred to their arbltrl ment. Can McLaurin be tried in the Primary of August 1902 for tho eon ceded sin of voting with the Republi cans in 1000? Can a political 6ln go out of date? As a rule it does not. It may happen, it is not probable that the Democratic party of this State, in 1902, may sustain MeKinb y's and Han na's Imperial expansion policy: it may be so; but then republicanism will bo triumphant, the Democratic party hav ing shed its skin and becomo Republi can. The l.-sue is not dead. The Democratic Convention of 1002 will al low him to enter the lists. If he wins ''Imperial Caezar" is the word, and the Democratic party imperial and re publican. Alexander, the Great, conquered all Asi?, tho thou known world '"and wept because there we.o no more worlds to conquer.'' He was delighted with the soft and delicious Orient, and after many years in velvety luxury died in a dobauoh" A svndicato of the Western Powers, including the new Empire this side the Atlantic, have looted the far East, presumably skinned it and now Russia proposes to absorb Manchuria, tho ehief Province bordering Core a and threatening Japan. It looks very like England, Germany and Uncle Sain will ho bulldozed and let the steal pro coed.Thus the Cossack*'Rough Riders'" of the North of Ke-ope will .-harac the achievements of th illustrious Prince of Greece, as eil na the Western Pow ers of this day. China, the South was Interested to keep v.do open a-, a market for her ohief stap'e It is still a greater shame, aft>-r spending thou sands of millions in Eastern adventure to surrender everything ;o iheso North ern uesperadoes upon tne demand? " stand and deliver." McKinley made haste to rush to the help of tho mongrels of Cuba and at Paris bis henchman carried out tho Philippine gobble. On the heels of this blunder ho rushed over to China. It was all bad blundering, but the light ought uow to come and the wild Boers be checked. The advice of old Polonlus to Laertes was round: "Beware of entrance to a quarrel, but being in; Hear it, that the opposor may beware of thee." Hon. John L. McLaurin applied to the President and the high Ilanna gov ernment cockolorums at Washington, and secured tho promise of a govern ment Exhibit at Charleston, provided a hou-e is furnished for it. And now tho Johny organs are guying about our B. R. T's failure. If T. had been standing to the gov ernment gentry as Johny he would hove brought down tho White House if not tho capitol, Dolly Maddison's plc turo included* And who wouldn't enjoy a glimpse of the last? ? * a '?Gets There all the Same." The annual convention of the South ern (mark the word) cotton spinners, will be hold at Atlanta on May 0th and 10th. Hon. John L. McLaurin will too one of 'the speakers. # Senator B. It. Til I man has accepted an invitation from the literary socie ties of Newberry College to deliver the literary address to tho students at commencement in June. His presence will add much to tho interest of the oc casion and a large crowd may be ex pected.?Herald and News. Tho Senator is accepting a good many invitations, but there Is such a trlok as utilizing an old sermon. #*? And now tho grave Issue is ripe: who secured iho government exhibit for the Charleston show? Tillman's an nouncement that "if the stealing had to proceed Le wanted his state to get her share," is bearing fruit We aro enlarging tho old-time qualifications for Congressmen. Thousands upon thousands of mules have left the great North-west for tho British service in South Africa. And now the Bosra and tholr friends want tho business stopped Stop the waters of tho Mississippi and tho Missouri, from Booking an outlet at that port, if an easy task is wanted. k * # # There seems fo bo some little jeal ousy springing between Spartunburg and Greenville, if their several news papers are true exponents. Wo tako leave to cite them to the lltt'o borough towns, Atlanta and New York. Robbed the Grave. A startling incident of wbiob Mr. John olive -, of Philadelphia, was tho subject, \i narrated by him as follows: "I was iu a most dreadful condition. My skin was almost yellow,eyes sunken tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no apatite?gradually grow log weaker day by day. Three physi cians bad given me up. Fortunately a friend advised trying Electrfo Bitters, and to my grout joy and surprise tho first bottle made a decided Improve ment. I continued thoir use for throo weeks, and am now a well man. iknow they saved my life and robbed the grrave of another victim." No ono should fail to try them. Only r-o uents. Guaranteed. At tho Laurons Drug Co. Perfection Never Attained. It Is not claimed that perfection has boon attained in tho manufacture of "Clifton" flour, but it approaches per fection more nearly than any other flour sold in Laurons. It is, however, absolutely pure, and makes the most delicious bread, cake and pastry. Hold by T. N. Barksdele and M. U. Fowler, i he retail giooers. BREWERTON ITEMS. I W. L.
