LAUREN'S, S. ('., June 20, 1001.
The South ami the Presidency,
The Prosa of ttie country, North und
South, is discussing: "It is time for a
candidate to come from the South."
< ?f course, per se, there could tie noth
ing wrong in such an event?it is a
question of epeuaucv only. In the
last decade of the century just closed
a big effort was made lo do away with
what they all hands) were pleased to
call "sectional aulmosity." But the
othei day there was bold at Philadel
phia Ihc Southern Industrial Conven
tion. In the North American, a great
Philadelphia paper, a leading illustra
tion represented a tail lean, haggard
Southerner, with a broad-brim som
brero while he -hakes right hands
with a spruce dandy Yankee in a tidy
tailor-made suit, while both look happy
and indulge broad mutual grins. This
is all very pleasant and the reader will
readily recognize that it is consonant
and perfectly consistent with what it
it would EOeill?all arc now disposed to
emphasize?the so-called "commercial
period" recently Inaugurated. The
business is not open to criticism?and
nobody will quarrel. II makes us all a
happy family until JUol when the
time comes to name candidates?and
there will be no more mention of Pitz
Lee, Joseph Wheeler, bailey, of Texas,
and the thousand and one tolly, patri
otic, Union-loving. Norlhernisod Sout h
erncrs. The idea is pleasing to the
soul just row. but the discussion pre
mature.
Commencement Orator.
Senator Tllbnan delivered a speech
at the commencement of Ncwberry
College. As reported lor the News
and Courier by August Kohn, it was a
capital good speech: but the Senator
made a mlstnko; it should have been
an oration, polished to the last rhetori
cal touch, a thing of art, as well as a
matter of hard common sense. Extern
pore speeches are fugitive, of only tem
porary value, while posterity is enti
tled to the benefit of the thought and
philosophy of our great men. Cicero
delivered an extemporaneous oration
before the Kornau Senate in defence of
Milo. a great statesman, charged with
a serious Offence. Milo was convicted,
and sentenced to banishment. Cicero
afterwards wrote out the address in
elaborate llnish. lie sent a copy of the
written address to Milo as he pined in
a foreign land, who aftor be had read
it, exclaimed, "Oh! Cicero, had'st thou
spoken before my accusers in these
terms. Milo would not be now eating
figs at Marseilles." In the meanwhile
it required n Tillraan, with plenty of
Bdgolleld .-lull in bis craw to stand up
before Professors, and College Presi
dents and a cultured Ncwberry College
community, and speak extemporane
ously. Cicero's oration Pro Milo after
Nineteen Hundred years is extant
and a model for the Ncwberry College
hoys.

The press of the state give a cordial
greeting to the announcement of this
prominent Coileton farmer's candida
cy for Governor noxt yoar. We have
not the pleasure of his acquaintance,
hut a Laurcns friend of this editor, in
whose judgment we greatly rely,
speaks in the highest terms of Capt.
I Icy ward. We are not sorry to hear of
his candidacy, but the race is a year
ahead ol us.
Many scar rod veterans know what is
meant by ??double duly," 1 forced
marches" and "ball rations." A hint
to the wise is filllllolent, and to enjoy
lay-by time, everything should be
clean as a ribbon, and tho farmer can
relish the shade of a wide-spreading
oak. enjoy the sunny side of a peach,
the crimson interior of a big melon,
and the purple juicy grapes, with good
company, of course!

Senator McLaurin is at Washington
devoting his industry towards securing
exhibits for the Charleston and West
indies Exposition, That he has leisure
for this patriotic domestic work, he
may thank our good Governor
McSweeney, who look- to the interest
of the "whole people" of tho State.
"Honor to whom honoi is due."
Thero is reeahit ration - more elegant

ment against our Tar it! Laws. And
our authorities arc kicking back- it
being a game of two, and the exercise
is growing healthful. Hut tho parties
are old friends and will likely take tho
mutual cull's good naturcdly. When
boys grow to a certain size they can't

Bryan, Mrs. Ilryan and the three

party who did the shooting has not

Bcnton, La., June 20. -There is little
oxcitement here over the lynching of
tho two negroes, Smith and McLand,
last night. 11 is claimed that tho two
men were leaders of a secret order and
bad entered many conspiracies against
the whites. A mob composed of about
200 men nuietly surrounded the parish
jail at midnight last nightand securing
admittance led the two negroes out into
tho jail yard. Smith was given tlvo
minutes in which to pray. Tho two
men wore then swung up to a nearby

Prince Edwards, the negro who Is
alleged to have killed John Gray Fos

Aii Interesting Letter from Cel.
Wliarton-No 3.
In ordinary gun-sllOt range, from the
Clin house, 1 counted sixty Sea Lions
resting on the shelving rocks bathing
in the sunshine; said to weigh from
four to eight hundred pounds, each
resembling a herd of de-horned jersey
cows. Tho laws of tho country give
them great protection,and no man dares
to molest or make them afraid
We visited many other points of In
terest but we must not tire your rea
ders us night-fall is drawing near and a
treat is in store for us. We returned
to our lodging and alter a hearty meal
we again gathered at Police headquar
ters, in charge of a special detective.
As soon as the lights were turned on
wo were exploring the sights of China
Town, a part of tho city of San Fran
cisco, containing over one hundred
thousand Chinese under city police reg
illations. Whon within its borders we
were as much ill China so far as custom,
habits and rites prevailed, ns if
we had been in lloilg Kong or Shanghi.
We IIrat flatted the mission church,
about twenty luombora there present.
A lady missionary was in charge and
they were engaged in worship?noth
ing but the sound of the organ and the
voice of the organist was homelike to
us. We next went to the church as re
cognized by the heath an Chinese We
looked on their Cod (Joss), and on a
rostrum elaborately arranged was their
idol before which I hey bowed and paid
homage: close be.-ide him stood his
horse (In statue) held by a Chinaman,
saddled ready for the ride. (>n the op
posite Bide stood the figure of a Chinese
lad of about twelve summers, the only
son of Chinese parents left an orphan,
in devotion and loyalty lo his parents
lie had kernt until the blood had t rickled
from his eyes and mouth and left the
crimson stain on his cheeks and face.
This is the great object lesson present
ed to them in connection with their
Joss ior Cod' to bind them in loyalty to
china, her customs, her traditions and
her precepts. Just outside of this
court was tho most ridiculous part of
their worship; A salesman behind a
counter selling a small bundle of sticks
inclosed in a high colored paper from
which the purchaser drew one or more
and inserts it in a vessel of earth or
ashes, applies a match, and burns It to
retain the friendship of the devil. I
asked "do you serve the Devil here too,
oh no was the reply, we just keep on
the good side of him by this worship."
We next visited their theater which
was liberally patronised, but not a
word could we understand: thence to
I the opium dives, men smokhig their
j lives away with no hope of reform:
three smokes a day keeps a man in bed
all the time and unfits him for anything
else. A large number of Ihe poorer
( lass live under ground in small apart
ments with a miserable future before
them: yet they seem happy with their
pipes. Some of them are wealthy and
are engaged in merchandising, and do
a tine business. We visited a whole
sale drug house where they compound
all the drugs used in China Town. It
was a hideous sight to us; cases of roots,
snake-. Itz/.ards dried and shipped di
rect from China constituted the princi
pal ingredients of their medicine. The
dried Hazards, packed two dozen in a
paokagO, appeared to be about tho size
of a ground SOU ire I and larger, but the
Chinaman will take no other medicine
except thai olTercd hy his own doctor,
and a large rcnumerativc practice
awaits each doctor. They have very lit
tle dealings with the other nationalities
in the city, in fact there is not a single
individual living in China Town or has
employment there except Chinese . We
visited the home of one of the wealth
iest families, consisting of husband,
wife and two children. The husband
had paid a large price for his wife and
was very proud of her, her foot was
just four inches long: he was delighted
to see us examine it: and had her to
walk across the room to show us that
she could walk: however she had never
walked on the streets and was carried
by servants when she went to church
or an entertainment. Tho value of a
woman depends largely on tho size of
her foot: the smaller the foot the higher
the price they command. Tho little
daughters feet were so incased as to
prevent them ever being any lar
ger than they were when she was a
week o'd: they expect a tine price for
her. Tho men all buy their wives.
The room of this family though small
was elaborately furnished: the furni
ture was inlaid with gold and mother
of pearl. We visited many other places
of interest and eaw some of their
I strange customs. When they write'
they begin on the right hand side of
the paper and write backwards: present
your hand for a hand shake ho will
j shake his own: go to a barber shop and
j you will see them using a small curved
razor, they do nol shave the faco hut
shave out the ear, the nostrils and tho
eyebrows to relievo the appearance of
the slanting eye. The night was grow
ing old when wo returned to our rooms
j ready for rest.
Satisfied with sightseeing in the eity
after the close of the convention I turn
ed my face homeward and stopped over
to look through some places of interest
The old San Cabrlel Mission, built bv
the mi-don fathers In 1771, Is still
in use and is well preserved, built out of
stone and equals our modern structures
in workmanship and design. I stopped
over at Los Angela, a city of one hun
dred and three thousand inhabitants
in the heart of the groat grain Heids of
Calafornia; there are about live hun
dred South Carolinians in the city. A
pigeon and Ostrich farms are points of
interest. I saw a Wheat Header at
work In a field of wheat said to con
tain one thousand acres, it was drawn
by eighteen largo horsos, three abroast.
The wheat was cut, thrashod, sacked,
and the sacks dropped on the ground
securely tied by machinory; each sack
said to contain almost tho eamo number
of pounds. Tho machine would cut
forty acres per day, and at the close of
each day from sixteen hundred to two
I thousand bushels of wheat would hi
j secured along its track.
Oranges arc bought for one cent
J apiece.
My next atop was at Vuma,ln New
I Mexico, said to bo the hottest placo in
the world. I saw there for the first
time a greaser; (old Mexican;; ho was
a curiosity to me. I remarked to him
in conversation that Yuuia was said to
be the hottest place in the world; his
reply was or any where else; and stat
ed that an old friend of his died there
j about a month ago and wont to hell
and had sont back for his blankot; that
settled the question and wo talkod of
his early life on the plains, J never
knew before why an old Mexican was
called a greaser, and doubtless many of
your readers aro just as ignorant. Wa
ter is senrco he said, and (ifty years
ago soap, wash pots, and wash women
wero mighty f;carco In those parts and
one suit of clothes was a vory good
stock to have on hand at a time, as
more would be In the way. You buy a
new suit of clothes take a vessol full of
hot grease made from eomo fat animal,
soak the clothos in It, then dry thorn,
get into them, and you arc safe against
a louse or lion as they can't live In the
greasy cloth, and wo woar them until
they wear out. A young Mexican of to
day does not practice such a custom
even if ho is poor. IJo Is a crank about
his hat; you will soo a laboror with
overall- on and a ten dollar hat on his
head.
Now Mr. Editor 1 havo no right to
monopolize your paper, a few lines more
and I will closo. f havo travolcd from
our Soa shore on tho Atlantic to whore
tho whlto capped waves lash against tho
I cliffs on the Pacific, and Sunny South
Carolina is tho best placo, all things
considered, on the ontin lino. Our
daughters a?o fairer, and a groator por
cont of genuine ladyllko modesty pre
vails horo in our old state than any

West? Land that Is worth living on Is
worth from twenty flve dollars to one
hundced dollars per acre, and a poor
man can't buy It. When he steps out
i
us u wagenrner ho competes with the
Mexican, Japanese ami other foreign
laborers, ami then wages are cheap ex
cept in certain seasons.
Young man don't go in debt: it is only
a question of time until Texas and
Louisiana will have all the labor neces
sary to cultivate these prairie lands that
are now idlo; tbon as cotton growers
we will simply go out of the business as
they can grow cotton at less than one
half that we ran, one man and two
horses can cultivate li fly acres that
will produce fifty bales of cotton if they
could boo it anil gather it- Where

The echo of her bounding feel
Drew faint, and then was still:
Her warbling voice, so low and sweet,
Awoke its last, last thrill.
A calmness settled on her brow,
Where Sunbeams used to play :
We knew the sign, which told US now
Her spirit passed away !
And when I gazed on her innocent fare
As still and cold she lay,
And thought what a lovely child she
had been,
And how soon she must decay:
'Oh, Heath, thou luvest the beautiful,1
In the WOCof my spirit I cried,
For pparklcd the eyes, and the lore

Of our little Sue that died 1
We feared, when llrat the withering
blight
Fell on our fragile flower,
That it bad grown too pure, too bright
To grace its earthly bower,
And when the gentle leaves closed up,
Whereon sweet thoughts were
traced,
We prayed?"< )ur Father, let this cup
Of woe from us be placed!"
In vain! >till hopelessly we clung
I' ntO our dying one,
Nor yet our hearts,with anguish wrung,
Could say : "Thy will be done!''
We've given her to her Father now,
In humble childlike trust:
And in submission deep we bow

OIHTUARY~
On Friday the 14th ol June, the
Death-reaper, with his dark and sub
tle mantle, entered the peaceful home
of one of our most beloved and re
spected families and plucked from it
the pride and joy that had so long
characterized it. Mr. .1. M. McPtlER
son, better known as "Uncle Matt,"
was called home to live with God and
his chosen saints. A wife and four
children survive him. lie was a line
man in every sense of the word, doing
such things as lie conscientiously be
lieved to be right, while according to
every one the same right that he en
joyed; and thus another one of the
very few land-marks that represented
the infancy of the Pith Century has
been taken out of the cold rain and
rough winds of a sinful world. His
heavy locks and feeble frame indicated
for some time the nearness to the Kiv
er of Death, but he awaited the lime
to cross as a little child awaits its fath
er's return. He bore his trials and
sufferings with such Christian resigna
tion as to leave a great object lesson to
encourage a weak Christian journey*
ing through this world. Truly, a good
man has gone He was a pillar in (he
Methodist church for nearly a half
century. His home was ever open to
friend and stranger alike, and his en
couraging, Christian influence was ev
er ready to stimulate the depre.v .-d in
spirit.
Although he had about reached his
four-Score years, his mind was clear
until the last and he knew when the
cold waters of death began to gather
around him. His remains were fol
lowed to Mt. Pleasant Church by a
large number of sorrowing friends,
and after appropriate burial services
by the Kev. E. W. Mason, he was
laid to rest, and his friends of two
generations covered his grave with
flowers.
Grant us, oh Lord, (his precious
boon,?that with him we may have a
joyous and saintly reunion on Resur
rection's morn.
