LAUBENS, S. C, May 22, 1001. The Hules. "Men may change bul I go on for ever." The principle?, the creed ?>f the I lemocrati'o party can novor change. They must remain as llrnily est lb llshed us mountains that ho il conti nents together. The mneh'nery by which principles ore put into operation change and must with t imes and con dltlons. Tlio democratic machinery will be put in operation in 1002 to ROV ern the choice of its representative*. An executive committee will bo created by a democratic convention to con duct a campaign pursuant to rules laid down plainly, and none may be candi dates but such as swear by the faith of the parly. The party must declare its own creed. Such committee as con vention may elect can alone setilo the question <>f orthodoxy. 11 may bo true that "orthodoxy is my doxy and he terodoxy is your dox " but there must be a final ultimate co rt of appeal and higher resort. As dovised in this country a State Coavont'on called by the regular machinery of a parly is that final tribunal to'which all must yield. Now and then it has happened that a man has been bigger than hie party, but bus pulled in harness, and followed closely in the old ruts. Kan dttU. in the 00's, a high tariff Pennsyl vanian, was a IIrm friend of the South, and rated as a Democrat, but It was a misnomer out and out. Look for a Democratic Stute Convention early in 1!)02 or the angry buz/ of a hornet's nest turned loose* around the ears of the present committee. * * Capt. w. a. Coiirtenay. Here is a brief extract from Capt. "W. A. Courtcnay's recent talk in Char leston, upon a very live-wire question in this Slate, ("apt. Coiirtenay is an ex-Mayor of Charleston, but is now President Of a successful cotton mill in 1'iekens county. Listen to this old Ko rnau?the noblest of them all: "To decoy or distract the white peo ple of South Carolina, whose only fu ture safetv is in union to endeavor to divide or mislead the party, whose commission he still ho'.ds and whose honors he has enjoyed?Senator Me Laurin, after voting on party questions, against his party in Congress, is said to be entrusted with the Federal patronage in South Carolina to create it white Republican party In our State. (?) * * K * "In my view the most dee. ptive scheine ever put before our people is that which would abandon our politi cal principles and our old allies in every Stute in tin Union for the transiont plea that joining the Repub lican party will promote our material interests." * * * Two Things. There are two things that wo would like to see kept well in mind. Dr. Dial und Dr. Aikon should not forgot that we are to have a county fair Ill's fall, with graceful colts a*:tl beautiful heif ers, and line specimens from the fields und gardens. The harvest is hard upon us and specimens should be collected: the fruits arc ripening and tho ladies anil good housewives should bo on courngod to look well to what is ex pected of the in.

And all that come bring holiday smiles and cheerful prophecies of auspicious breezes and showers, and the first fruits, the strawberries, the cherries and the plums, ami the fatted kid and the chicks all fried and broiled and in pics?et cetera, et cetera and et cetera. They art? plea-ant things to go to and now and then you meet an oil and time worn vet hobbling on his last legs with bis history and his traditions of yoro, and by bis side tho grand old ma with noble pride in the stalwart lad, the image of his grandsire, and the maiden young and fulr and blush ing, the picture of the blooming belle and Country lassie Of fifty summers in tho by-gones It is delightful to go to the country picnic and get a kind warm greeting and hearty hailing and wo thank our friends for kind Invita tions. And we try to have some ono on hand to tell our readers of the pas sages and the nice things said and done and all about the feast of reason and tho Mow of soul.

Under tlie auspices of the Ladies' Memorial APociatioti, Memorial Day was duly observed Oll Friday after DOOIl. At ?*> I*. M. a large audience as guiubled In the auditorium of the Court House which was called to order hy Col H. W. Hall, who introduced the Hev. Robert Adams, who delivered a most eloquent and appropriate invoca tion. The largo room was packed, con sisting of the teachers and children of the graded Schools, the ladies of the city and a sprinkling of old and bat tered veterans. The Kev W. It. Dun can, of the Methodist church, the chosen orator delivered a most e'o (jUCtlt, beautiful and patriotic address, replete with historic reference, happy illustration, argument, pathos and an ecdote, charming his audience and do ing justice to the devotion, patriotism, unexampled heroism ami endurance of the wearer of the grey ami the jus tice of the cause for which he stood. We regret that we. haven't Bpace for this polished oration. From the Court Koom, a procession, headed by Profes sor Watkins, of the Graded Schools, moved to the city cemetery, the obi battered battle-torn banner of the% 3rd s C V., being born hy two handsome young girls, Miss Laura Barksdale and Miss-Ferguson. At the cemetery the large assembly formed around the Pavillion and lis tened with bowed heads to the reading of the Holl of Honor of the hravc hoys who sleep their last sleep in this con secrated bivouac. Flowers, beautiful, tragrant and fresh, like the memory of these heroes, were tenderly laid on their mounds, the grave of an un known federal soldier not forgotten, and this sacred annual ceremony was j ended. We regret for lack of space we must he almost content with a general de scription of the tendency and force of the speaker's address. There was a happy digression in its course, where the speaker read the original roll of the local company Of this city, (then village), of Co. "A," (the State Guard) of the 8rd S. C. V., which composed largely the splendid young boys of the town from the oldest families and many from different sections of the county. After citing a striking incident in the experience of the speaker, he sub stantially said : "Futhermore, this in cident may fittingly serve to suggest the kinship of religion and patriotism. Our devotion to Cod and our love of country are, after all, kindred impul ses. We are told that when Deborah was Judge of Israel, she planned a campaign against the Canaanites on the North who fought under Jabin. She called for a brave and daring war rior, Barak, of the tribe of Naphthali, the closest neighbor to the enemy.? With her promise to accompany him, he collected an army of 10,000 and pro ceeded to meet the approaching army of Jabin. After the battle Deborah broke forth in the strains of a lofty hymn of triumph,giving praise to Cm! for the signal victories that had attend ed their efforts. Hut she kept her highest eulogies for /.ehuhm and Naph thali. saying "they were the people who jeoparded their lives unto death in thi' Held." There is a sense in which this interesting episode has its coun ter-part in the occasion,the memory of which hrings us together to-day, es pecially so in the tributes which the daughters of the confederacy pay to the dauntless heroes '"who jeoparded their lives unto death in the field." * * * * I rejoice at the earnest elTorts being made lo preservo and perpetuate the memory of the heroic deeds of our fa thers. I know that the doctrine of hu man brotherhood is no idle dream of a visionary philosophy,but is a necessary principle which sooner or later must bo realized in human history. The world is moving on ward and upward to the brighter and better day when the parable of the good Samaritan will be enacted in the whole area of life. Al most the very idea of time and space is being obliterated ami we shall soon stand in elbow touch with the whole world. Hut all this does not obliterate the duty nor abnegate the privilege of loving one's own country. My heart throbs in deepest sympathy when I read the story ol the Babylonish cap tivity. When asked to sing their songs, the lonoly an I disconsolate .lew re plied : "How can I sing the Lord's song in a strange land." And banging his harp upon the willows of Babylon ish riyers, he exclaimed: "If I forget thee, oh Jerusalem, let my right hand forgot hoi cunning: If I do not remember theo let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth." Thoro is no na'ion on the face of the globe more patriotic than the United States' thore Is no section more patriotic than Dixie: there is no State in Dixie more patriotic than South Carolina: and let mo hero say, there is no county In South Carolina more pa triotic than old Laurens. * * * * Never shall I forget the first and only time that I was ever beyond the hounds of the United State?. It was during the great Kpworth League Con ference at Toronto. We had there re presentatives from all parts of the world. On a magnilicor.t steamer many from the United Statefl wero crossing Lake Ontario. As we neared the beau tiful city of Toronto som 5 one bogan to soig "America " Soon all on deck were singing "My country 'tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty." Hut the most interesting incident, to a Southerner at least, occurred on Sat urday afternoon of the Conference We had a great opon-air mooting on the grounds where tho Canadians had hold their Victorian jubilee celebration. We had speeches and music. Whon the band played "God Save the 'x>jcon,"tho Canadians cheered lustily: when it played "Yankee Doodle," * the North erners cheered to tho echo; but tho height of enthusiasm wa9 reached when the band struck "Dixie." They out numbered us, but wo "out-hollered" them. * * # It behooves mo just at this pjlnt to Inquire Into the principle, that gov erned these men or tho camo for which they fought. For what did the Con federate fight? Now let mo sav before going further that I will bo'the last man on earth to appeal to prejudice to fan the dying coals or stir tho smolder ing embers. On tho other hand I re joice at tho great tidal wavo of fra ternity that seems to 1)3 swooping over this land of ours. I rejoice that the day has come whon tho worthy sons of those who fought each othor In the civil war can now light ?ido by side for the freedom of others I boliovo the d"y will yet o.omo when wo will send a bouquet to the tomb of Grant and whon the North will place Moral tributes on tho grave of Lee, hut while this Is true there is ono thing that I, as an bOOOSt man, hold should cvor bo em phasized, tho cause fo" which our fa thers fought. The oi.tsido world has ever said thoy fought to maintain slav ery. Taking It as an unqualified state ment, I brand it as a lie, horn of the de vil and perpetrated by his ornissarles. Slavery was only tno immediate occa lion of the war. The cause, was lib erty- tho liberty ami right of a state to manage its own affairs. It was 'bo same as that for which tho KovMution ary war was fought and I believe it incumbent upon us, tho rising genera tion, to thoroughly understand this momentous truth and contend for Its recognition by tho world. Our fathers took tho ground that the purpose of tho original compact, known ns the con stitution of the United States of America was to guaranteo the protec tion of tho rights ami libortiosof each Stite. When thoy found these bolng encroached upon by tho very powors pledged to protect thorn our fathers con. holed they had a right to with draw. Therefore we lind South Caro lina leudiriK and on December 20, 1800, tho Slate Convent ion in Charleston passed the following ordinance: A A * Alter an able defence of iho princi ples for which the Conft dorat'j fought and lost and a g'anco at tho grand South which she has made 1 Inco the war, ol our beautiful land, the speeoli closes with this elOquout invocation: May the memory ot the sufferings and solf-saorificOS of our father-, ho no deeply implanted in our hearts that no po.Ncr on earth can ever dig it up. ''Sleep sweetly, in your humble graves, Sleep, martyrs, of a fallen cuuso Though yet no marble column craves, The pilgrims here to pause. Stoop angels, hither from tho skie-. There is no holier spot of ground Than where defeated valor lies Hy mourning beauty crowned."
