LAL'ith'NS, S. t'? June 1 If, 1001. To {.rumble. It is a delightful thing to he able to grumble. We would be in a bad fix if everything pleased us. There must, still be something that we would have bettered improve; liiere must be occasion to incite to effort?to arouse ambition and all with the hope of suc cess and victory. But we arc after something else. Merchants and han kers ami fanners are happily In this category. An everyday intercourse with them finds the majority with something to complain about, othe r wise they could not bo happy. It rains too much; it rains too little; it stay: too cold: it is now too hot: it is too wet to plow: the stands are bad: I have good deal of money out ; tho conditions | must Improve or my Honors or mort gagors will not be able to pay this fall. Anil thus all concerned are kept wide awake, with something to be anxious about, and to keep them stirring. Now we are free to confess that the condl-1 tions have not been the most auspici ous recently, but they should only arouse to greater ellort and enthusiasm. There is*plenty of time yet for a great cotton crop and a bounteous corn yield, full and groaning barns, and the liens and the littlo chattel mortgages may all be paid. Keeur to the last Is sue of the A DVKitTisK.it and carefully consider the card of Capt. Humbert in reference to the great Exposition in Charleston this fall. Let the world know our rich resources; there should bo no such word as fail?there should bo no despair lot all look upon tho bright side of tho picture and watch for the cloud's silver lining. V A Third Term. A month ago the suggestion of a third term for Presldont McKinley in a mild mode, t way got an airing in the papers. Such a proposition with the precedents of Washington and Crant before the country would ordinarily not attract notice when Senator Depew, of New York, seriously urged the sug gestion. But it seems a Senator from New York may be a granny and have a following. i'nder existing circum stances, the poliotes of the President would excite a favorable response from a large element w ho are interested in the permanency of these policies. But the scheme was ridiculous and with the fiasco of the friends of Grant be foro them, its absurdity should have been doubly apparent. In the circum stances the 1're.-ident, uol willing to appear as countenancing'the absurdity, called his cabinet and put an end to the business by declaring' that in no event could he be a candidate again. This is not evidence of wisdom on the part of his excellency, but silence would ague him an idiot, whilst he is anything else. Tho time will come around and that at no distant day, when the constitution will be so amend ed as to make the Presidential term six years, with no right to subsequent succession v.- ? # * At Philadelphia. From the tone of the speeches at the Philadelphia Southern Industrial Con vention, just closed, the proceedings ought to be of advantage to the South and specially the South Atlantic States. The speeches on the. part of the South erners, were, rather too eloquent and hlgh-fur-lutin. Old England, New England and Holland, the bankers of tho earth for the present, have not been for converting every quilting frolic into a "you'd scarce expect one of my age etc." It begins to look like the South would go to work as well as "invite capital." Coal and Iron in Al abama, Oil in Texas and timber and phosphate material, all around him and shoved down the throat of the Southern "gentleman." will force him to recognize honesty and decency otherwise than in cultivating and surveying thousands of acres of rico, cotton and sugar. Tho South will not be in a condition to cease "inviting capital" until it is re spectable for the young to rush to the furnace and the forge as with us to the shades of the academy, or tho money changers desks and counters. ?* At Last. The Cubans have accepted the Plait Amendment. As wo have said before ?It is better to ba strong than right. But after all, there is no tolling as to tho futuro. The Cubans may need Uncle Sam to protect them again, in the near future. Uncle Sam's domin ions may be smashed into atoms?dust ?a gossamer. In the meanwhile It is well to attend to to-day. Tho Kornaus had a maxim?Carpo diem-?accept the prosont, and don't rely too much on the uncertain future. * * * Nothing Artificial. At Cheraw, in a law suit before Chief .lustlco McKiever, hot words passed, last week, between Messrs. Liles and Melton, lawyers of Columbia. Subsequently, on tho street, blows wore exchanged without serious In jury. It is notable that they did not call into play those convenient instru ments that in these tiin?s uro so much more effective than the defensive weap ons of old times. Wo note the case simply for tho credit of thj gentlemen whose "habit must be black coats." V Mr. Wliarton's Prize. In its account of Commencement at Furman, tho Greenville News says of the declamation prize: ' The Wharton prize is a ten dollar gold piece given by VV. C. Wharton, of Waterloo, a member of tho class of '00. Mr. Wharton was present at tho oxcr cises and manifested an Interest in tho various speeches and speakers. Music, was furnished on tho piano by Mr. Putnam. Tho ushers were Messrs Pittman and Hogers. Now and thon you find a hero. But tho other day a slier ill in Georgia had In his charge a prisoner condemned to death. But the enlightened Georgians didn't bolieve in the law thoy thein solves had made, and as an appeal was taken, a crowd (not a mob) of three thousand assembled and assaulted the jail. Tho sheriff was a gamecock, and stood in defence of the prisoner con signed to his keeping, killed ono of the jail's assailants and drove Off the three thousand. The prisoner was safoly conveyed to an adjoining county and will ho swung In due timo and in duo fashion. Hut, alas I the poor sheriff who lived under the delusion that he must stand to what Gen. Leo thought the highest human obligation?duty. Many a man has failed by reason o some such Infatuation. Tho sheriff will havo tho admiration of all outside his count;. . and tho condemnation of all his notghbors. He should exile hi Hi-el f at once. Go.* Sam lord, of Alabama, died on ?. the 11th instant, t, and Wm. D. Telks, President of the Senate, becomes Gov ernor. What an Ornngcburg Visitor Saw In Columbia Last Week. The following communication ap peared Ibis weeK in the Orangeburg Times ami Democrat: "While on a visit to Columbia last week I saw George K Koester, one of NIoLaurltl's lieutenants, go to the room of a prominent Republican and remain | quite n while. I also had a prominent citizen of Columbia to tell me that he went into a certain place in the city and there found the same prominent Republican, Mr. Koester and the noto rious black Republican Deas in con sultation. It seems thatGov. MeSwee ney has made a mistake in not giving the Democrats of the State a chance to rid themselves of McLaurin, the wolf in sheep's clothing. lie has given Mc Laurin over twelve months in which to try and deceive our people and build up bis Commercial Democratic Repub lican party in the State. Let the white men of South Carolina beware or they may soon be under the yoke of the negro led on by a few designing white men." "Straightout." It is a fact that the two persons nam ed above were seen together in Colum bia one day last week, but of course that may not have any political sig nificance and the social significance is not in question. It was also reported that the McLau rin lieutenant named above and the negro Republican Reas went to Wash ington last week. Senator McLaurin also went to Washington about that time "to arrange for the government exhibit at the Charleston exposition." The term of Postmaster Knsor ex pires July 1st. Nearly every reputable business man in Columbia has signed a petition requesting Dr. P.usor's re tention, but it is evident that an effort will be made to prevent it. The Pres ident, however, has announced that only a few appointments will be made during the recess of congress and then in most cases the incumbents will be reappointed unless there is some par* bicular reason for a change. As no Bitch reason is known to exist in Pr. Knsor's case?unless it be a political reason?it is thought that the light against him will prove unsuccessful.? The State. ()l course this is not our affair and Laurens people are used to hoeing their own row and not particularly caring how the cat jumps, and who is in or who is out. It is reproduced in Tino Advertiser as a kind of political weather forecasting, just as straws in dicate the direction of the wind. "The voice of Jacob."?ed. advertiser. Was He Ambidextrous.' The Governor will to-day take up the case of Cliapin who killed Grube in Greenville. The case is one of unus ual notoriety. Cliapin was convicted, in n measure, upon evidence that Grube was left handed. Since that time there is evidence that Grube was ambidex trous, that he could use one hand as easily as the other. 1'pon this techni cality depends the governor's action on the petition for a pardon. One of the remarkable cases of am bidexterity is Senator B. R, Tilbnan's ability to write with either hand?or with both hands, lie can use his left hand as well as right, and he can use his right very well. It is said that once when be was governor he had a great number of official papers to.sign. He used both hands then, signing his name twice at the same time.?The State. It is all explained. We have been lighting a man with two hands for ten years and until very recently. Ten chances, and ho had two tongues. Bria reus had a hundred hands and it took Hercules to handle him, It is all right now?be can handle McLaurin without gloves. A Constitutional Convention is in session in Virginia. John Goode, pre sides, and Daniel, the groat Senator of that State, is a leading member. The suffrage question is the nut to crack. Alabama also is holding a Constitu tional Convention, and the 6uffrago is the point to settlo. * ? * Near Shrevesport, La., young Mr. Poster, a planter, was fired upon from a cabin where were a number of ne groes and killed. A negro named Ed wards fired the fatal shot and escaped. Fifteen negroes are in arrest and may bo lynched. Foster is a brothor of Mrs. McMillan, wife of the Governor of Tennessee. a * * Six Hundred and Fifty Thousand "metal workers" are reported likely to goon strike. This ought to convoy some faint Idea to the South how far thoy are lagging behind in tho indus tries of tho world . A Supurb Grip Cure. Johnson's Tonic is a supurb Grip cure. Drives out every trace of poison from the system. Does it quick.? Within an hour it outers the blood and begins to noutrali/.c tho effects of tho poison. Within a day it places tho Grip victim beyond tho point of dan ger. Within a weok ruddy cheeks at test tho return of porfect health Price 00 cents if it euros.

We cross Pecos Hiver on u bridge the second highest in tho world, 321 feet: 2.280 feet long: throo million, six hundred and forty pounds of iron in the structure, and banks of the river solid granite, and perpendicular. We now enter the plains, extending South to Mexico, no water, great ranches watered with wind mills, one Mexican In charge of a thousand horses, corroding them and tieing the leader with his lasso. The section ffands are Mexicans ex cept Section .Ma-tor. They live 111 tents made by standing poles six to eight feet high on their ends and cross ing them with poles, covering same with rock and dirt, only to sin Her from sun as it rarely ever rains, and it is two hot to shut out the air. You can Bee a tent in the middle of the Prairie, a wagon, a horse and cow tied. What does that mean'. A squatter who moves at his will, simply living. Wo now reach San Antonio: civiliza tion and culture: no oats, as green bugs and drouth kill Ihein. The ground is as dry as stubble. The land is now being planted in cotton and corn. Cotton is half a leg high and looking line, but grassy, and they are sli I planting wheut and oat Holds . We are now at Bl Paso, crossing in to New Mexico, the great desert coun try. May the good Lord deliver us from such a country. Norain in two years; grass and eoed all dead; moun tains and dry plains. The Dry Sea, as it is called, is stretched out before us and not a living tiling in sight, barren, with great rifts of sand, as if made by many rushing waters, but only tho cruel wind evei passes over it. Upon a mountain close by you sec the profile of a faco turned heavenward, as per fect as from the artist's hands, in the solid granite, called tho face of old Cachief, the great Indian chief of that country in his day . A depot there is named in his honor. Ten miles of the Copper mines I saw a Mexican driving ten horses to two wagons attached to eaidi other, loaded with copper. Men are scarce: horses arc cheap. We now come to nature's wonder? the morash or mirage. It looks liks a great sea. On Bast Hay, in Charles ton, you look into the great sea, and this looks Just tho same, but not a drop of water, It Is the contraction of two heats- from the sun and the sand. There arc line watermelons being shipped from the /.aqua River, Mexico. It was my pleasure to help devour one. We now cross the Colorado River in to California. We reach tho Salt re desert, 12?it? feet below the level of the sea, bounded by tho Sierra Madras mountains on one side and the Sierra Nevada on tho other. "A e travel through a vast, barren plain, with nothing growing, and finally reach the wild llowers in the plains and valleys, and the mountains are covered with snow, six thousand feet above sea level. Beyond the mountains we reach the fertile valleys, the pride of California. Here we find orchards and vineyards, barley fields of a thousand acres, orange groves of a thousand acres, the trees laden with ripe fruit, olive plan tations, prune, llg and grape vineyards equal to those the spies went over into Canaan lo spy out, with grapes equal to the ones that .Joshua and Caleb brought back, Tho Californians call this God's country, but it has its reverses, [no mountain cove I saw a bsautiful, but small valley, almost in the mountain fiistnoss, a once happy home, a nice or chard, a little cottage surrounded ho over one hundred beehives, all aban doned. A single grave in the orchard, marked by a neat picket fence, told the tale. A man had laid to rest Ids wife, the idol of his heart, discouraged, broken hearted, sighing for com pan sh'p, In the hour of his loneliness he surrenders all. Disappointment, the roek that shatters Die lives of so many: The passerby can only say: What might have been.

We sire now at San Francisco, tho Paris of the United States (of which I will say more), in the hands of that princely Southern gentleman the Hon. Pat Noble, of old Abbjvillc, a noble son of a noble sire, a cousin of the Cun inghams at Waterloo. He is General Manager of the Pacific Rooting Mills, of California. He has laid aside his Office work and has us In tow, and if there is a man in all the realm who knows how to entertain a stranger in a strange land, it is this I rue Carolinian. The City of San Francisco! The story of the climate is told in the oallas, heliotrope and other tender llowcring plants that bloom outdoors In luxuriant freedom, without heed to the calendar. The winter aspect shows Mowers In stead of snow whitening the ground, and a wealth of roses in tho garden and tender vegetables on the dinner table. Tho terms winter and summer do not apply here in the ordinary sense. The summers arc rainless, w hile In w inter there are rainy days. Spring-time songs are sung always. Tho same clothing is worn the year round, the straw hat Ik ing the only indication of the change of soason. Guided by o,ir South Carolina friend, with a party consisting of one sky pilot, t wo doctors and a number of la dios snd gentlemen, we arc looking at tho sights of the great city. We first visit the Golden Gate Park, w ith an enclosure of eleven hundied acres. Within its C0nfine8 is growing every known flower, tree, vine, etc., and ev ery grass known to man. With its fountains, drives and walks and its shady streets, It makes an ideal resting place, Iit for the gods. We next visit, the building of the great air ship, equal in size to one of our great battle ships, that a crank (in my opinion) is building at a cost of several fortunes, and in which he thinks one day to ride tho wdnds across the continent. Wo next visit the Sulro bath?, orected at the cost of a million dollar-,, and said to bo the largest In the world, wit h a seating capacity of forty thousand, and ample room for ton thousand baths. Tho entire structur:: is covered with glass in oval shapo. The salt water from the Pacific swelling through one section while the still water from the. same groat Rource, heated and t im? pered to suit the most, delicate, is ap plied. This is tho work of a rich Jew, who at ono time engaged with a great Corporation of capitalists to tunnel the mountains. In the wind up he fell on top and left his friends with the expe rience. Ho spent his fortune beauti fying the coast of tho Pacific, lie. built the "Hoightp," tho "ClilT House" and a number of other houses that make the Pacific, coast, famous as a seaside rosort.
