August Kohn Bonds to the Charleston
New-, and Courier from Greonvlllo an
ox'ract of MoLaurin's points:
Second. "I bavo broke up," he said,
"negro government and carpetbagism
In South i larolinn."
Third: I am a Democrat, in spite of
all the slanders that havo boon oireu
lated again&t me.
Fourth. I recognize no hos-, in or
out of the Stale, and I bill free fi\ m
Tillman's coat la I.
Fifth. Nobody but a fool would now
make? a spot eh on free silver.
Sixth. I am an oxpnmlonist.
Seventh. I favor tbo principle of ship
subsidy, but am not comm'ttod to any
part icular bill.
Kignth. A "steal" is not a "steal"
when it is going the way of other folks.
Ninth. The Isthmus Canal means
Southern prosperity.
Tenth. I an: in the Senate for what
I can get for South Carolina, not to
further my personal interests.
Eleventh. The friend and advocate
of Capers and Chaffoci
Twelfth. Ho has kind words for the
Charleston Exposition.
Thirteenth. He insists the only way
he can bo defeated Is to he forced out
of the primary.
Fourteenth. "I sin honest." Honest,
in the belief that lie is right in princi
ple and that principles are above party
lines. ? News end Courier,
"i killed < lock Uobiuiwlth my little ar
row I killed Cock Kobin. There was an
old improsslon that Hampton and the
red-shirters bad something to do with
the exodus of the "carpet-baggers."
Again, Tillman's coat-tail of old
time was of some service and the young
Senator is in danger of being charged
with a short memory,
"Nobody but a fool would now make
a speech on free silver." This comes
after the funeral and looks like gazing
Into another pair of bright eyes.
"The only way bo can be defeated is
to be forced out of the primary." But
hasn't the Senator voted himself out of
the ' primary"? Ho is certainly cam
paigning on his own hook now?no
democrat ic committee is making his ap
pointments here below seem to be
the potsonel chaporonlng him:
They hail from the East, they hail
from the West, they hail from the
North and from the South and a
goodly number of thorn are at present
banging bard and fast to Uncle Sam
uel's calico eo-.t tails and have been for
goodly days. Hero they are:
Of course the feature of the day was
the speech of Senator McLaurln, but
quite a neat speech was made by Capt.
J. a. Mooney in Introducing Mr. Mo
Laurin, Capt, Mooney first. calleO on
Dr. C. s. Gardner to open the meeting
with prayer, which he did, and then

Tlllmnn find Mc ha it rhi as a Itesiill of
Joint Dehnte at Uall'ncj Kestgii.
The joint debate at Gafl'iiey on Sat
urday resulted in mutual hi till' be
tween the two Senators and both re
sign. As the dang-whankers say there
was "hot Stull "a lid itwas llnally agreed
that both Senators should send their
resignations to Gov, McSwccney to
take elleet In September and a Demo
cratic primary to be held to determine
between Tilhnan and MoLaurin before
Congre.-s assembles in Dteomber, Both
places will be vacant and any Demo
crat may run.
It is all wrong. Tilhnan is not under
lire, but MoLaurin is, the indictment
being that ln> stood and stands with
the Ucptlblicans upon all national
questions. Tilhnan, nodoubt, felt safe
in submitting bis course to the issue of
the ballot and in this he is safe. Hut at
last the issue is?decs MoLaurin repre
sent the Democracy of South Carolina
and this Issue alone should have been
submitted. The situation is unpre
cedented even in South Carolina.

Smith, of Atlanta. Is one of the speak
ers. The rCCOUrces and advantages of

Governor of that state, or hlsollloial

what his 8tnta possesses for the In
vestment of capital in undeveloped
wealth, as well as its inducements to
thrifty settlors.Theso addresses limited
to fifteen minutes each.

From I he Shoulder.
MoLaurin at Groonville Faid that a
big element of thoso who formerly de
nounced Tilhnan now fawn upon* him
for crumbs falling from the rich man's
table, or lingo to that effect. Hut using
the Senator's own figures It is dollar.-,
to doughnuts that, 80 per cent, of the
omnium gatherum that.swelled hlstl'l
unphant entry into Groenvlllo, were
expectant statesmen ' bonding the
pregnant hinges of the knee that thrift
(may) follow fawning." Ten are for
expanding their trousaloon pockets
where one loves expansion for the
country's sake.
*
Mndoinosello Rumor, the Jade, has it
that MoLaurin's friends in these dig
gins are bidding for the Post Office
and Other Ollt-lyingsotip. Further,that
as a condition an organ must be sup
plied to fight the Senator's battle in
this county, ami that an option on a
county paper has been secured.

Tho Christ ian Scientists claim that
they cured M rs. McKinley of her re

authentication, it would seem, as tho

Senator McLaurln to tack Crenshaw's

speech, making Bryan responsible for
the death of bissen in the Phillppllnos.

The speech of Senator MoLaurio at]
Greenville on Wednesday last, adver?
tisid with agrc.it flourish of drums and
trumpets was delivered before a very
mixed audience. A white quail, a black
swan or an albino raven is classed us
freak a cage of parrots, monkey anil
other birds and rare animals sometimes j
make a happy family. Tho inimitable
and nondescript regiment Jack Pal
s'aff raised for young Prince Hal was a I
motley col ection Indeed. Sir Jack
says himself of his collection of worth
ies "motley Is the only ware." So all
shades of opinion and all avocations
were represented In th's audience.
Foremost wore the Republican olllco*
boldors, Websteritva (of old) died-ia
the wool, especially the wool-died,
Lilly White Ins and out?, prospective
Republican oflioe-boldors, watchers and
waiters, manufacturer?, bankers, plu
toerats, lawyers, teachers, preachers,
merchant8, farmers, c'octors, McKin
ley democrat?< gold democrats, silver
democrats, Cleveland democrats, fol
lows without politic?, a'l made Into a
pie, Truly "motley is the only ware "
"Black spirits and white, red spirits
and gray, mingle, mingle, mingle, you
that mingle may." It was as mixed as
the witch's cauldron and we can't re
fra'n from reference to the weird dam e
of the sisters when round and round
they kept timo to their charmed re
frain and poured Into the uiohan'ed
vessel:
? I witch Round about tho cauldron go
In the poisoned entrails throw,
'l oad, tnat under the coldest 6tone,
Days and nights hast thirty one
Swelter'd venom, sleeping got,
I to" 1 thou lirst in the charmed pot.
But to McLaurtn's speech. They say
that Brevity Is tho soul of wit. But]
this address covers as much ground psJ
tho bull's bide of Dido was madotOI
tako in under the trade with the fa
thers of Carthago. We cannot give
space to an analysis of (be world-wide
talk. It has been said that MoLaurin's
speech at Charlotte has not been an
swered. Tho Greenville speech is a
re-hash end and etdarged edition of the
Charlotte speech. It is neat'y enough
done with a touch of tho literary cast
and in tho closing paragraph-, smacks
of tho pathetic and the appeal. Mr
Laurin favors expansion, a large army,
an imposing navy, imperial domain,
(like the old fellow who wanted all the
land that "jined" him) ship subsidies,
territory around tho globe, that the
sun may never cease to shine upon it,
the Yankee drum-beat following his
imperial round from tho rising to his
going down a dominion, upon which
there is eo such down-going. The ar
gument for all this is specious and
plausible and will tickle the Col
lege Sophomore end the proverbial In
nocent, the impecunious or "unscrupul
ous" hopeful aspirant to office. The
[omnibus position of McLaurin may be
[answered as all Republican platforms
have been answered for a century. Mc
Laurin favors a high tarilT. a tariff for
protection -hieb unties on imports. A
hieb tariff with 76 million of people,
buying liberally from abroad of
1 Everything that a woman can put
from the crown of her head to the sole
of her foo'."
and a man too, must pile up millions
upon millions of money t hat can only
serve ss a corruption fund or a fund for
tyrany and oppression. TarilT, extrava
gance, standing armies and waste arc
correlative.
But The Advertiser has ahvadv
over and ovt r again said that tho South
is a buying section and while we make
at Richmond and Atlanta our cooking
stoves aud plow shares, it will be a
half century with all the thrift we can
muster before we becomo otherwise
than consumers of tho thousand pro
ducts of daily use among us from a pin
to an engine. Until th?n wo arc as
ora/y as loons to adopt or listen to ar
gument suggesting a tarill And it
inns', be noted th <t the genius of the
American people rebels at tho sugges
tion of all direct taxation for any pur
pose. Yankees travel South for throe
quarters of a century and go home and
write books about the land being a
land of gullies and this will be the case
as long as cotton production and high
tarilT legislation go hand in band. Ann
all this is as old as tho hills and the
St range part al out It is that the reiter
ation of the doctrine "s.still necessary
at the South. The speech is pretty
much all parrying with little striking
out from the shoulder.
