LAUHKNS. S. C.i June 12, 1001. A Comparison. The other day an old gentleman ro marked that MoLaurin has more sense than Cillman and is better educated, ?lust after this assertion wo read Me Laurin'S lotter to Col Wilio Jones in whicl) he says, "I would also suggest that you permit ho and I to arrange the sehedu.e for our meetings." It is not probable, that Hen Tillinan would uso tho words "be and I" in any such way." No other United States Senator from South Carolina, we venture to Bay ever killed the King's English in such manner. It has also been said that tho intel ligent people of the State are for Mo Laurin. To show their degree of in telligence and tho standard of their education we will quote a noto or two sent to GoV. McSweency to aid in get ting MoLaurin out of his predicament. "Josh" Ashley writes that the. re signations is a "scanald" and ho don't wish the pcoplo to bo put to "extry expinse" for an election in an olT year: it is poor business to be pointing out bitch mistakes hut when a com parison is invited it is permissible.? Abbeville Medium. Precisely. Every great statesman and every great Poet and philosopher has had a school-master, who could write gram matically and spell well, tho extent of his accomplishments. MoLaurin's had grammar, unfortunately is not his greatest sin. We are content with Josh Ashley handling his farm ??according to Uoyle." An Answer* A Mr. W. F. Clayton, of Eloronce, this State, ventured to ask Senator MoLaurin ? "that you differentiate between your views nnd the views held by leading Republicans." Ho cer tainly got an answer?MoLaurin cov ering the transactions and otlicial ex pressions of both parties from Wash ington to McKinley, from Dan to Beer sheha. Ho proves beyond all perad venturo that Republicans are Demo crats and Democrats Republicans and have been from Alpha to Omega, and suddenly stops short as pie crust leav ing Mr. Clayton in mid-night dark ness as to his leading question. There is no reason that the Senator should have halted in his ink-slinging. *** Not Obliged to He. The Primary for choosing a candi date of the Democracy Is known only in this State? adopted as a rule of our party and put in force only a few years ago when Karle was nominated. Tho Legislature elects at last. In most States tho light. Is made in choosing members of the Legislature. Wo are not under the laws of Modes and Per sians. Our Democratic Convention which moots before the Primary next year can abolish the plan if the Con vention thinks liest. But the present plan is very .veil and controls the long term Senators who are in for six years. ?*? Charleston .Market Place. There is talk of tearing down a part of the old landmark of "the city by tho soft" and making a park. We enter our earnest protest. Old frequenters of tho city are familiar with iis quaint look, the old mainners and tho Southern bird, hard by. There are plenty of ramshackle streets in the city to make Parks of. Let alone the old landmark and the birds. We believe it was Hftgby, addressing the Cross Associa tion in Charleston who said?"I would not live in a land where 1 could not see a buzzard My." * * * Something To Do. The town of Qoldvillo IS up and do ing, so is Garlington. the like at Whit mire, the same of Waterloo, Clinton and Cross Hill, in another place we havo suggested that the town is not finished. What about our active, en terprising young men'.-' Are we to sit still and smoke our pipes, and wait un til some L'nlon, or Greenville man comes along and discovers his oppor tunity? *** A Democratic Horse Wins. William C. Whitney's colt, Volody sovski, won tho great Derby at Epsom, England, on Wednesday " last. The stakes, about $25,000 don't count as the American was in for fame. Many American plutocrats wore present. Whitney is a democrat and was in Cleveland's Cabinet and it is fair to presume that tho horse is a democrat also. Like master; Like horse. * * Strong in the Knees. Wo don't know how our Govomor is on Sundays an 1 tit the evening retiring hour but he shows llttlo talent for genuflection or woaknoss about the knee joints. He writes a fairly stiff letter to Senator Tillinan in tho recont Sena torial resignation ep'sode. * * * Pluto in tho old (Iroek mythology was the God of lud I. There were no teinple- erected In his honor as to the other Gotls. Ho had a dark and gloomy abode, so none of the Goddesses would marry him. He, however, made a raid upon earth and carried off to the infernal regions a beautiful princess, Proserpine. Plu'o erat is not derived from this name but from anothor? plutus?signifying ?money. High au thority fixes "the love of monoy as the root of all ctII." The plutocrats are clamoring on tho I'resilient to call an, extra see6ion of Congress that addi tional tariff legislation may be had to further promoto and protoet their overgrown wealth. The indications are, however, that. McKinley is woak onlng on tho tariff and that tho session will not be called. Tariff, plutocracy and the like aro still very suggestiyo of tho gentleman at tho head of this article. The MoLaurln-Tillman incident ex cited discussion over land and seas, far and wide. Pigmy and Titanic statesmen and newspapers have had a say upon the unusual status. And in cidentally tholr claim to bo called democrats was debated, and Inci dentally what constitutes truo de mocracy. Under the turn things havo now taken, we will havo In this Stato until August IH02 to chew upon tho question and the country at largo un til July 1001, Now if Jefferson had only been a little moro explicit a cen tury ago and left a definition for the hosts of Jefferson Ian statesmen who conjuro with that name! Anderson is to havo ft large wholo salo and rotail drug store. It is to be known as tho Acme Drug Company of Andorson. Tho capital stock of tho company Is to ho $40,000.

June 4.?The trhil of the 1150,000 libel suit of Mrs. Josephine C. Woodbury against Mrs. Mary Baker G. Khly wad resumed to-day with Septimus J. Manna, reader of the First Church of Christ, Scientist Bos ton, editor of the Christian Science Journal and a close friend of Mrs. Kddy, on the witness stand. Judge Hanna was aski d if ho had in his pos session the in i v mil of the message sent by Mrs. Kddy t< the Christian science Journal In Ma', 1H97. The witness re pllod that bo nad a copy of the Journal containing tho message, and this was offered as evidence by counsel for Mrs. Kddy'8 reference to Mrs. Woodbury as a person unfriendly to Christian Science, showed malice. Tho Journal was admitted toexcoptlon, simply on a question of malice. Mrs. Kddy's book, "Science and Health,"was produced and witness was asked if it was not the Christian Scientist text-book. Witness said much of tho Christian Science belief was based upon it. He did not know if there, was any formulated belief in his Church as to Mrs. Kddy's relation of it, nor did ho know If it is tho belief of other Christian Scientists that tho communications of Mrs. F.ddy aro in spired by God. Mrs. Woodbury, tho Plaintiff in tho c.isc followed Judgo Hanna, Mrs. Woodburrv said that she met Mrs. Kddy in 1870 in Boston. At that time she never had heard of Christian Science. Sul sequeotly She became a believer in Mrs. Kddy, studied Christ ian Science with her, and was Ad mitted to the Christinn Science Asso ciation, receiving a certificate from the College whoie Christian Science is taught, is signed by Mrs. Kddy, as a doctor of Christian Science. This cer tificate was olTorcd In evidence I At Mrs. Kddy's request witness made I appl ication to her in 1805 for admission to the First Church of Christ and was directed to send her application direct to the Church. In closing the letter convoying tho direction Mrs. Kddy used this expression: "Remember that malicious hypno tism is no excuse for sin." Mrs. Woodbury was asked to deli no "malicious hypnotism," but she was not allowed to answer. We give to our readers the above that they may not forget that Boston is still a part of our country?indeed if we have a country and that they may have a faint idea of our manifold civ ilization. And wo take occasion to add that Mrs. Josephine lost her suit and must get along tho best she may w ithout the snug sum she sued for.? Ed, Advbrtiskr. # We have had rough werk preparing, planting and cultivating our crops so far this Spring. Most of the work has required to be dono and redono over again and the end is not yet.

Last year her imports amounted to 200,000 tons or enough to furnish full cargoes for seventy ships of :i,000 tons each. I Charleston is, perhaps, tho largest manufacturer of commercial fertilizer in tho world. The phosphate rock which abounds in this region is pro nounced by all experts the best basis for fertilizer. Tho seventeen fertilizer factories here omploy 5,000 hands and ship annually 150,000 tons of tholr pro duct. Tho yearly Incomo from this in dustry Is estlmutod at M,265,000 and the capital invosted at $5,825,000. The trucking industry has been de veloped horo to a remarkable degrco In rccont yoars.

Last season 100,000 quarts of borrles wero shipped to Philadelphia and other markets. Charleston and vicinity is considered by many a great health resort, and is quite popular with tourists. Btimmor villo, the famous winter rosort of tho nines, is only 22 miles from Charleston. Tho city is surrounded by pino forests, which, with its salt air from tho ocean, comblno in its atmosphere two health giving proporties. Local capitalists are discussing the projoct of building a large hotol on tho Battery, overlooking the harbor, for a wlntor resort.

DE AK K?iTOK: As the (lovernor has refused to accept the resignations of our .Senators and there Is nothing of special interest to disturb the equili brium of the minds of your readers a few dots from our trip might in some way receive at leasta hurried glance. On the morning of the 20th of May we left Columbia in company with the Governor and Li? stall and the Stale Militia on a special. All along over tiie route up the river were signs of the heavy rains; there on every side, large Holds of bottom lands BOW 11 in oats and planted in corn totaly destroyed. The soil is washed to the clay and it will take years of industrious energy to reclaim them. At Spartanburg we were joined by other friends and we were oil for Asheville, passing through the land of the sky. On reaching Hilt more, the ideal town of millionaire Vanderbilti the waters of the French Broad and Swannanoa in their mad rush down the mountains had widened out and laid waste a half million dol lars worth of Hue property, besides to tally destroying all the crops along the bottom land. The oat crop was the greatest sulVerer, and a large per cent of the bottom land there being sown in oats. Over the mountains to the Stato of Tennessee, the trace of the wild waters was plain on every side. Oat crops were destroyed and poor stands of cotton. We reached Chattanooga and alter a good night's rest at the Staunton, next morning we met our friends Hint Fleming, lb>b Cuningbaill and others, and began to view Lookout Mountain and other battlefields As my trip was a Western one, 1 bad only carried light clothing, and 1 felt like I was about to freeze, but as the hour for the reception was at hand, we hurried back to the Stautitou to par ticipate, Fortunately, I bad two suits of clothes with me, so I donned them both at once, and with the top one, a long, black serge, well buttoned, made me feel quite comfortable, be sides giving a presentable appearance Soon being presented to the ladies and gentlemen present, we again met Dr. Hanimet 'League and his charming daughter, The Governor of Georgia has on his staff, with the rank of Colonel, a hand some young lady, the first live woinan oolonel 1 ever saw. The bachelor Col onels on Gov. McSweeney'a stall were trying to bring her to South Carolina when I left the party. We were booh I on our way to Atlanta, and along the route were no oat crops and poor standi of cotton. Reaching Atlanta, the Uatc City of the South, a few hours were a H orded j us in which to look around the bustling city We were soon en route for Alabama Again we found no oil's and poor I stands of cotton all the way. We I reached Alabama traveling via Mont I goinery, Mobile, down the coast to New Orleans, a very uninviting held presenting itself, a log covered with cooters and a lazy alig.itor sunning himself on a log, with now and then a fishing boat relieving the monotony. We saw little towns with houses built over the water and plank walks con necting house to house, and houses without land greeting the eye of the traveler. The people live by fishing, eating oysters, lisli and fruits. The climate Is hot, and very little lire and scant clothing satisfy them At New Orleans WO crossed the Mis sissippi River, the great "Father of Waters," and then came to the great sugar plantations of Louisiana. Thousands of acres in cane. We saw eighty mules plowing in one Held, and nothing less than a two-horse plow is used, often with lour horses to the plow. The sugar refineries are tlottod along the route like gin houses are in the South. The laud is very dry and a lar^e part of the crop is made b\ ir rigation. The river at New Orleans is higher than the city and is kept within its banks by a levee system. Should these give way the city and country would be inundated. We now cross a dry stretch of country for fifty miles, nothing planted, line lands, as level as a lloor, hut it rarely ever rains and a crop every ten years would lie a good average. The laud is covered with the mosquito bush, resembling our willow, and which stays green the year round, bearing beans in great quantities. Stock of all kind fatten on these beans, and when they can secure water, It Is a great cattle country. We now cross Medina River, and IIml some civilization in sight. The river has some attraction for the clouds, ami it sometimes rains. A station is reached, and we Und cotton planting going Oil in a nearby field. In answer to a question they said they had been waiting for rain to pl-tnt, hut no rain yet. It lias been eight months since they had a rain. One rain a year will make them some cot ton. We are Hearing the 'J exas line. Al ter a short stop at Lake Charles, the oil fields of L. A. Down, On Sabine River. The sun is sinking behind the western hills, and presents a grand sight with the great forests of cypress, pine,willow, and tall magnolias in full bloom.

We cross the Sabine River into the great State of Texas?great in area, great in agricultural interests, great in oils ami minerals. We reach Beau mont, a town thronged with people of every tongue.
