('., duly 10, l?0l7~ McLaurlu at Spartanburg. It is the proper tiling to glvo a cer tain gentleman, who shall be nameless, "his due." The Senator made a gen uinely appropriate Ith of July oration at Spartan burg. It reads like old tunes?before the inauguration of tho speaker's "commercial" era. The speech is euphemistic, optimistic, oulo gistic of what we (tho American peo ple, all of us) are doing, have done, are bound to do, and are going to do and make of our glorious opportuni ties and mission as fixed by destiny. We are to expand, to widen our com merce, feed and clothe mankind, en rich them, operate as a nation in chrl. tiani/.ing the heathen and fatten our solvcs while realizing the roseate dream. Nothing could be more appro priate for a 4th of July audience, and Spartanburg was at her best in select ing an orator for tho occasion. The speech tits like a French woman's glove. *** Named. John B. Cleveland, of Spartanburg, has boon named for Governor. lie is as level-headed a gentleman as tho Stato or any State can afford. In fact, he is the best fellow and fittest all round man this editor knows. But wo are human, of the earth earthy, liable to err, to get off on the wrong foot and tangled in head and legs, something happens, and John Cleveland Intro duced MoLaurln at the Ith of July meeting in Spartanburg. it is a clear caso of Jupiter not nodding but alarm ing the neighborhood with his snor ing. t.ets There. Mr. J, F. Richardson, chief Propri etor and Manager of the Greenville News, has been appointed Post Master of Greenville. His paper supports what Is known at present as the Mc Laurin program, and the appointment Is attributed to Mr. McLaurin's cinch at tho White House. * * Really there is little room for edito rial effusion this week, as we give up so much space for our Treasurer re port and fiscal year matters. Of course there must be some satisfaction In read ing of money and seeing how It goes and relleoting that it really exists even though it evades and skips and slips by us and through our fingers, as the fa bled limpid waters the lips of the thirsty Tantalus. It will be remembered that he was kept forever up to his chin in a pool of water but not allowed to taste a drop. One account alleges that he was punished for stealing u dog, another that he stole the nectar and ambrosia from the table of the Gods antl gave them to mortals. It is proba ble the thermometer was about '.'7 when the Judge imposed sentence. All of us hope however, to escape so long punishment?the grass Is still up to our chins, but by a hard lug wc will be rid of it and then come the gentle showers and then the snowy blooms in August and then the silvery tlecco in October, and then the golden harvest in Decem ber at least) and then now bon nets. * * * Hon. J, William Stokes, representa tive in tho lower House of Congress, died at his home, Orangeburg, on Sat urday last. He had been sick since before Congress adjourned in March. A half dozen persons have been named for tho succession and an election will be held at once. Congress don't meet 'till December, but the salary is $500.00 per month, and it will tit some good fellow's convenience. * * * A disease called "Charbon" is epi demic in Mississippi and New York, and thousands of horses arc dying.
