The train ha- -en Showered with Mowers and .icarty oheers and the throats of thousands have shouted welcome and God Speed. All ages, sexes, conditions und colors have united in the wonderful exhibition of reciprocal good fueling Anil now there is discussion as to the significance of it all and what it all means. We do not think it political ? it might pos.-ibly he a bid for support of the McKinley foreign policy--it can mean nothing personal to McKinley The out-burst of hospitality on tin part of the Southern people is not un usually pointed?-it is perfectly in oharaoter with their big heartedness and the ordinary stranger within their gates would meet no less, much more a President who in every way has de monstrated a disposition to be ll??s Chief Magistrate of the whole people *? * George s. Mc-Gravy, the newly ap pointed deputy United States marshal, is here to assume charge of the office. Marshal Melton is expected here to morrow from Washington, when Me Cravy will be commissioned. Mr. MoOravy announced himself to day, to a representative of The State, as a Democrat, but he said that he was opposed to several planks of the Demo cratic platform. I Unqualified the state ment by saying that ho was "a Demo crat to-day." lie went on to say that lie was an expansionist and a protec tionist and was opposed to the free and unlimited coinage of silver, as he was a "wage earner and objected to being paid in fifty-cent dollars.M lie said that his defeat for Slier I ft' of Lau-1 rens county last August was due to his support of MoLaurin, but he gave it as his opinion that, he was beaten by fraud.?Charleoton cor. state, ilrd inst. ??George" is wise to dehne his de mocracy as he dears the pasture fence. ? Ku. Aovkutiskr. * * Gco. McCravy was a Warm MoLaurin Supporter. The appointment of Geo. s. Me Cravy as special United States deputy marshal to succeed K. Hrooks Sl'gb caused no surprise yesterday, although it was unox pected. A L?nens gontloman who was in the city yesterday s'atcd that ShorilY McCravy was a warm supporter of Me Laurltl in 181)0, and ibis, perhaps, caused his defeat for Sheriff last, sum mer. The State, 2nd inst. Hot, of tho first, water. MeCravy's support of MoLaurin, if anybody ever hoard of it, had no more weight in his dofeat than a humming birds'a feather on tho reek of Gibralter. * * * It looks now like Webstor had lost bis grip and the Capors-McLaurln movement might amount to something. It begins to smell loudly of signifi cance. A farmer found ... wolf with his sheep in a somewhat Impoverished condition, but lining no harm to the Hock and partially tame. He was driven home with the Hock and soon began to take an Id to rest in their well being, and to protect them against dogs and oth< r enemies, so that tho farmer nour ished him and he grew fat and strong. The farmer being called away left the Hook under his cure, when he turned upon thom and devoured the entire bunch. Our loaders must make the ap plication. ?** Southern In ter State Fair, Atlant.1, (Ja. This will bo no ordinary occasion? no ordinary Fair. It rises to tho dig nity of an Exposition. Tho dates are October 0th and 20th inclusive. W. A. Hemphill, is I'resident: Kdward C. Peters, Vice President: duo. K. Ottley, Treasurer. To givo some faint notion of the lib oral end broad lines on which the Fair will proceed it is only necessary to quote the generous premiums that are offered and will be distributed.

Forty-six Spartanburg gentlemen sign a call to Senator MoLaurin to ad dress them (.n duly 1th on National is sues. It is a serious so'ootion of a day for an Imperialistic Justification, Among the callers wo note tho ab sence of ICdi tors Gar ling ton and Henry, and lawyers liko David R. Duncan, Stobo J. Simp-on, Ralph Carson, Joe Johnson and a bakers' do/on of tin like of them. They are presumably content with o'd-timo democracy.? These gentlemen loo wou'd (no-doubt) like their pabulum Ii i st. hand. #*# A Scare Crow. A well informed LaiiroilS gentleman wh speiM that there are those in Lau rens applying to McKinley for the Post-Mastership and other placos thnt would surprise and sinrtlc us. Wo re eall vividly when a few years b:ick we were growing up on a Saltlda farm. It was just this season of tho year when the farmer nut up bis "scare crows" to deter the wary and pesky crow from his sprouting corn. If our suggestive frlond had been of a literary feather he might have said: "There are more things in heaven and earth, llorat'o, Than pre dreampt of in your philoso phy." ?'Hang out our 1 anm i s on the outwnrd wall; For theory is?still they come." A Charleston Dispatch to tho Green ville News reads: ?'In some respects the McCravy ap pointment is more remarkable than that of Capers. The former has never been anything but a democrat, while the latter was an avowed supporter of McKinley In two c mpalgns. Marshal Melton also gets credit for recommending MeCrnvy.

Blanton, Prosperity It is a wee-bit of a lillpUt'llO us yet, but as neat as a pin and modest Anything to modest commands us and we put it on our list of invaluable exchanges. The right of MeLauriu to go before tho Democratic Primaries as a candi date for Ibo Senate will never get be fore an L'xccutlvo Committee. A con vention of the Democracy of tho State will sett to the question and tho Conven tion will meet before August 1W02 with out waiting tor any committee. The rules of the Democratic party in this State are not like the laws of the Modes und l'ti's'aos, and "Oh! King, live forever" is not a part of the con constitution. If I.atimer runs for tho Senate next year and this Is likely, Citizen Athloy may run for Congress. a ( add. Mu ICditok: Some efforts are being put in motion to ameliorate the condi tion of the old soldiers. This is a worthy cause and deserves an earnest consideration. All good and true men and women delight to honor the brave soldiers,who 'without money and with out price'1 endured the hardships of a cruel war for four years to defend their homes and their lire-sides from devastation and ruin. Some of us dif fer as to the best way of soothing their declining years. Some say establish one home at Columbia or somewhere build a line mansion that our children can point to with pride. Monuments may he inspiring to the youth of our land, but we are trying to be helpful to the aged and infirm The young live in the future, ever buoyant with radiant hope of future success; over reverting to the roiiiiniscencies of their youth fill days. How true tho saying "once a man and twice u boy " How it delights the aged to lllld an attentive lis tener to his ups and downs in life, his successes or failures. Yes, his mind ever feeds upon the past. There is nothing so dear to him as bis past as sociations, his companions in yout h and young manhood, when ho could boast of a perfect manhood and his old home is the dearest spot, on earth, I rare not how humble that home may be. No marble palace can take its place. Nay! the contrast wou'd only heighten its deformity. Let ii-give the old soldier a homo in his native county whore he can see the familiar scenes of by-gone days where he may from time to time visit the old home and worship in the old church. These privileges are too sa cred to be taken away from him. Another thing, I hate to write it, some say take him and leave his wife. This needs no argument from me. find lorhid. $500.00 will build a nice home on the county farm. That's all it need cost. Seperate them from the paupers.

In our company almost every mill had a nick-name. Now, I am going to tell on Ab we called him "Lieuten ant' not because ho was a Lioutenin', for he was no oflloer. To t bo contrary, he held tho highest position in the Confederate Army, for as any general will tell you, for he was a privato?uad wlun wounds, mutilation and death were being sent out the Confederate private was in front?nothing?nobody was between him and the emomy in battle.

Abrain had taken a few dosos of the extract of corn, with the shuck on, or the lluld extra-it of "pumpkin," I for got which, and. as Nut Lovlngood WOll'd say, 'sorter felt, his oats and wanted to cavort." and just for pastime, while the woman was squat ted with her back to him Abrain stood on his left foot and circled his ruht foot over her head. She caught nim at it, and jumping up with a fork in one hand and the Irving pan in the Other she said, "Now, darn your infernal pic ture, you jist wave your drotted foot over my head agin and I'll knock the very devilout'n you with th:s frying pan, you onory cuss you?let you be Captain, Lieutenant, or what not' ! (tight then and there I named him Lieutenant, Whatnot We llnally dropped tho Whatnot, but to this day his old comrades call him Lieutenant! I have seen Abe Cook face cannon balls, bomb shells and minnio ballots without II nching, but the white--.veil, rod-haired woman with that frying pan full of hot-fried meat groase, drasvn back at him, came near un nerving him! Abrain then kept both feet almost glued to the lloor ttU WC got our din ner when he was r.ndy to leave. After we got out of hearing bo said, "Judge" (such was my nick-name) I meant r.o harm; the woman raw the shadow ol my leg or she should have been none the wiser, but d ug my but toms if I didn't believe she would as soon lot drive at nie with that frying* pan of hot meat and groase as not."

Five or six miles from I'm tor prise there was an old dry well near the road it was forty or lifiy feet, deep. Having nothing else lo do WO noeped into the well The lirst thing I knew, Ale, who was a larger and stronger man than I was, had me by the nape of the neck and below the waist band of my brooches holding me over the mouth of the old well.
