McKinley in the South.
The President's tour has been an
ovation unexampled in cordiality and
heartiness from the Potomac even unto
San Francisco. 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

mocracy as he dears the pasture fence.

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.

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.
Thcro was a rumor hero to-day that
Melton s own head would be tho next

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.
I hope we can iind 100 men in Lau
rens County,who \n ill furnish the nccd
id money. Ladies will do the rest.
Givo them a chanco where they can
rest with something to cheer them.
'?Take me home to the place where the
little cues sleep,
Pleasant memories lie buried close by:
o'er tho groves of my loved ones I
long to weep,
And inni ng them to rest when I die."

Where is Brave Old Abo Cook!
April 20.? Kdltor OreODVlllo Newt:
is it trespassing to Bend you the iu
closed communication? I hope Dot.
Somehow, I think such contribution*,
just now uro timely. The old follows
who Stood bob loo tie1 guns are going
out. A better soldier never belonged
to any army than Abe Cook! I hope
you know bun. His education Ih lim
ited, but ho bus u Rood hea I on his
BhoulderS and a noble heart in his
bosom. It is but right that Ills South
Carolina neighbors should know how
he conducted himself among strangers.
l dato thecommun'cation April 28lb,
because on that date I am t?2 years old.
Would you think loss of me and vote
mo a weakling if I told you that the
writing of this communication causod
my eyes to overllow (as they do at this
moment) on several occasion*?
Our regiment was a regiment of
gentlemen ? we loved one another. Wo
bad hard times together. We went In
to one battle? Fishing Crook and lost
in killed and wounded and at Shil b
wo lost 2.'I1 in killed and wounded. Was
a Tonnosseean and had just come to
Mississippi. Cook was just from South
Carolina. We naturally "took up
together" and 1 must bay that of all
men In the world - educated or unedu
cated Abe C< ok is, an 1 was, mv best
friend.
I loping to meet you at tho Memphis
re-union, I am yours respectfully,
G. 15. Foster.
Inoroaso, Miss., April js.? ono
Ahrain Cook, who was a member of
the MeLung Hilles, that is to say,
Company 15, Fifteenth Mississippi In
fan try. Said Abe, in the oarly sixties
was a dark complected, blaok-hairod
man, about twenty-one years of age, at
the beginning of the wur between the
States and he loved good victuals es
pioially baked beans) and would at
that time, if persuaded a little, take a
draw or SO of corn whiskey even if it
sinclled shucky and before the war
ended, he, upon a pinch, WOll'd some
what reluctantly [?j drink an artie'e
that had been distilled from "pumk
iiis."
I want to lind him. At last accounts
he was living in I ho vicinity of Hunt
orvlllo, s. C. 1 want to meet him at
tho Memphis Confederate lie-union ?
and once more shake his h tnest old
hand, for he is one of the very best men
I ever saw. We were friends and niOSS
matcs during the v.ar and dav and
night we wore associated. 1 was
with him in camp and on tint march
and In battle and had every means to
tost him and now at the age of sixty
two, as I sit hero a white boadod old
fellow after years waiting for the ' so
ber second thought,'' 1 take great
p'.oasuro In tolling bis friends in South
Carolina (who did not know him as a
soldier) that South Carolina or Mi.- i
sippi never sent a better, noble or
braver man to the war than A lo am
Cook. He was kind, gentle and peace i
blo, but when tho words "Fall in"!
were hoard Abe Cook went forward
and when the commands, "It tidy"!
"Aim!" "Fire!" were pivtll your fid
low clti/.en, Abrain Cook, stood a* un
flinchingly as a vost, and did his duty
us manfully as any soldier I ever saw,
and while so do'ng on one OCCUSion a
Yankee shot him, for war, yon know,
Is a two sided business.
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.
I will tell yon how bo came to ho
call? d Lieutenant. At Jucktet), Missis
sippi, in l^ii^t Abe and I having in I'O
Confedei'UtO money than wo wanted to
keep?got US some ''good clothes,"
llxed up as well as olllecrs, lookod like
oflicers, for none, hardly, but olllecrs
wore good clothes, and we filled at
the home of a red-headeJ woman for
dinner and while the woman was lix
ing middling bacon she would turn
it, put her frying pan on the Moor b -
tweeii tho open door es t he weather
was excessively hot.
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."
As soon as we got to camp I told the
hoys of lb; Incldont, ami from that
hour till to-day Abe ha", with us, been
a Lieutenant.
Hut he got even with me alter that .
We wore camped at Foterprlso, Miss.,
and he and I went out into the county,
to see if we c >uhln't get something
good to cat. 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. I w, s
afraid to wriggle or squirm. Ab he
held me o-er the well he said, Call me
Mas. Alu-!" I did so. "Nor, call mo
Mr. Cook"! I did so, of course. Then
be said, "Are you always going to
mind me and step about lively ami do
just as I say? ' ''Yes, Yes"! said I.
Thon he said, "Now sny, "Ma?. Abe,
please back oil and turn me loose," and
so on and so on, A rough joke you
will say, but we were young then-and
BUCh was not rougher than for nie to
bring a big watermelon one night after
Abo liad gone to sleep (I didn't get it,
from )) patch) und standing a straddle
of his bod and getting the watermelon
into a big swing whack I took tho top
of his head with it to his 'istoni.-hm. n(!
He WOOlod me around a little for sub
mitting to SUCh indignity, but did not
forgot, to eat his shnro of the "busted"
watermelon.
But It would tako a dozen newspa
pers to glvo a mere synopsis of what I
KnOW of your splendid fel'ow. Ho is
I getting along in years now. I d'sllkc
i to call him old ? and soon ho will bo
called hence and when he goes ( May
