LAUUENS, S. Cm Aug. 7, 11MH. The Cup? The Shamrock Number 2 isou the aea, pulling her way lo New York in tbe hope of carrying the famous cup to Britain, sir Thomas Upton owner of the N tu ht making the contost, and this is his second vonture. He has been a very BUCCOSsful business man, starting a poor lad, establishing many tea shops, growing rich, then in favor with the Quoon, who knightod him.ami now he is a great favorite of King lid ward, and ospccially ol the good and popular Quoon. He will have a tough time in boating the Yankee Yachtmen and we will nil have fun while the race is on, and watch lug tho outcome. There is no money ill il and the fellows who contest for tho possossion of the little cup have only t ho pi Ido of conquest and the pleasure'of Bpondiiig their surplus change in making the contost' A mil lion or so will go on eibiiuf ide In milk ing tho race. Tbc lirsl Yacht of which wo have any account was the good ship "Argo," which sailed from Groeco about Thirty-five Hundred years back to Colchis, tin- object ol the voyage to recover the Goldea Flooce. Tho little ship was manned by some fort Greek princes, and commanded by one Jason. While the < loldou Fleece was nominally the prize which Inspired tho long voy age and dangerous adventure, there were about a dozen pretty prim esses at bottom of the business, whom the royal boys expected to capture and bring home. And the prizes were in finitely to bo preferred to tho insignill cont. little cup. They had the assist ance of Medea, tho King's daughter, and by that assistance Jason killed the dragon that guarded the Fleeco, per formed other wonderful and miraculous feats and finally escaped tho country carrying with him the Golden treasure and the beautiful Princess, hut if Llp 1on boats the Yankees and carries home the cup, it must be with the assistance of magic and a second Medea. The Exposition. Here is what State Commissioner, A. "vV. Love, has to Bay to tho News and Courier, of what the counties are do lug. Wo trust that the Laurons Com missioners are wide awake locking to a fair exhibit from the best county in tho State. The throe gentlemen in charge are hustlers : ?'To name the counties taking the greatest interest in this work necessi tates my naming all the counties I have visited to avoid any unfair inference to the counties 1 bavo not visited. Green wood, Falrfleld, Grangeburg, George town, Lexington, Qconee and Chester have already vono to work collecting exhibits and arc very much interested in the work. "Spartnnburg, Plckens, Aikcn, Col leton, Cherokee, Andorson, Abbeville. Hamberg and l'.arnwell uro organizing and will have good exhibits. York, Greenville, Hampton and Beaufort have not done anything yet, hut they hope to make an oxhlbi' if they can get their citizens BUlllcleiltly inter ested . "All in all the State exhibit will be a most excellent one and groat good will result to the whole State because of it, but the counties making the best show will, of course, reap the most bene fits, The British Parliament has voted "Bobs," Gen. Huberts, a half Million Dollars, that he may decently support the dignity of an earldom sometime ago conferred. Ft Is a mere bagatelle compared to the hundreds of millions the African war has cost and is the old case of forgetting the blacking on the bouts when you arc waist deep in mud. And in the while, the Atlanta News makes the point, that we (ine Unltod States) "give Sen ley a court of In quiry." But really we ought not to scold as Schloy has done the South nc honor.

Enquirer of .inly 201 h, an interview ol Dlsponsary Coin tn'sslonor Crum, of Columbia, upon In teresting features of South Carolina affairs. You must leave liomo to lind out how your affairs stand: ''Tliu Dispensary has come to stay in South Carolina," said II. II. Crum, suite Dispensary Commissioner, of Co lumbia, S. C, ut the Gibson, "and it bas proved a satisfactory and prolita blo institution. Last year we did 'mo worth of business at a net profit of ^&(bi,000 to the State in round numbers. While there will be some opposition to it, the dispensary has commended itself to our people from every standpoint. Out of 121 mem bers of the Legislature only 15 are ar rayed against it. It has diminished drunkenness appreciably, broken up bar room louiing and provides unadul terated drinks for the people. We do not sell liquors to any one who exhibits any evidence of having been drinking or who is known to be a drunkard. A man of moderate habits in that line oan get half a pint of whiskey once in twenty-four hours. We do not sell less than half a pint or more than four and -even-eighths gallons at a time, the lat ter limit to except the Government tax Oil live gallons or more. We sell beer privllogcs whoro the salo is limited to a pint to a person and no treating if permitted. It is the treating custom that is so prolific of intoxication and breeds the bar room loafer and dead beat. We buy considerable whiskey in Cincinnati and Kentucky,as well as all over the country. All of our goods aro stamped and guaranteed to be the gen uine article. '?Yes. Mr. McLaurin has lost out with the Democracy ol South Carolina and will never be returned to the United States Senate. Ho will no doubt attempt to rally a bob-tail party of his own and run with the Republi cans. Senator Tlllman is the cock of tlm walk in the old Palmetto State and will remain so. He is a lighter and a leader of men from away back, bold, fearless, honest, defiant. "Our cotton crop will fall short GO per cent this season. Wo are going to have a grand Exposition at Charleston this winter, and want to sec Cincinnati and Ohio well represented. Old-fash cd Southern hospitality will be dis pensed." "At the dispensary?" #** "Independent." We print his letter in this Issue?the gist of which is a glimpse into the mists and clouds of the future?a prophecy as to how things may go?and it is a little like guessing at the cotton crop. Wc agree with him only so fur as that he makes the point that the futuro is uncertain. There is in the article a certain dash of Moroutlo?"a curse upon both your houses," and this is certainly justifiable looking at the his tory of the recent past. _, The Cosmopolitan for August reveals the late Grant Allen in a new light that of a keen and clever satirist of society, not only in England, but in the world at large*. The Cosmopolitan, immediately on bis death, secured from bis son all his papers, and the clever allegory?"The Temple of Fate"?in the August number, is one of those se lected. Like "The British Aristocracy" in the April Cosmopolitan, the present article impresses itself on the reader with a direct fearlessness which is a new quality in the author's work. If it is true that all the world loves a lover, then Edgar Saltus's clever, epigram matic story of the princes who have relinquished thrones, position, wealth everything?to marry the women they loved, should indocd be popular. The World's Greatest Fever Medicine. Johnson's Tonic docs in a day what slow Quinlno cannot do in ten days, its splendid cures are in striking con trast with the feeble cures made by Quinine. If you are utterly wretched, take a thorough course of .Johnson's Tonic and drive out every traeo of Malarial poisoning. The wise insure their lives and the wiser insure their health by using Johnson's Chill and Fever Tonic. It costs 50 cents if it cures: not one cent if it does not. Hampton on .McLattriii. Last week Gen. Wade Hampton went to the mountains of North Carolina to spend the summer. At Spartunburg a reporter of the Free Lance had a chat with him. Speaking of McLaurin, Con. I lampton said: "No, 1 think McLaurin will not be elected again. He has deserted all the vital principles that have been incor porated in every democratic platform since the formation of the party, and I venture the assertion that not a demo crat ic senator at Wushington will say that McLaurin is justified in styling himself a democrat. If I were in politics I would not give him my support. You ice I have always voted the democratic ticket, and after having worked so many years in the interest of that par ty, it would not become mo at this stage of life, do you think, to trans form myself into a republican."

TIlO action of Benator Tillman in de? inutidiug through n resolution passed by the state Democratic Wxeoutivo Committee Senator MeLuurin's rosig tuition will not hurt Solintor MoLuuriu or the Democratic party, it i- possi ble that Senator McLaurln Is now in tbo bands ol the political funeral di rectors and that the federal oilier- his friends are getting arc the "funeral baked meats." It is also possible that Senator McLaurln may be very much alive politically before many months but the less dead to democracy. Alter all, the cotton crops and the cotton mills may prosper with or without McLaurln. On the other hand, Till man is a necessity, a painful necessity, lie comes high but wo inusl have him. Senator Tinman's blow on Mel,anritt landed the other night recalls some events and stimulates some re Meet ions. There are two kinds of democrats. One believes that Democracy is n oroed formed In the course of a century bj Jeilerson, Jackson and their successors. I le sticks to it regardless of the plat forms of latter day conventions. The other believes that whatever the National and state Conventions lay down in their plat forms as democracy is democracy and to vote the ticket makes a man a democrat. in the Maj Convention Ol 181M, Son ntor Tillman adopted the lirst defini tion. He declared that the principle of free silver at 1(1 to I was a demo cratic principle, an essential, inevita ble principle and that a platform with out it was not democratic. Therefore be adopted in that convention, lor be was the Convention, just as ho is now the state executive committee, the "in to l or bust" resolution,under which the delegates to the National Convention were to bolt unless "1(1 to 1" were placed in the national platform. The late Senator Irby who was a consistent and strict p^rty man, who believed in fealty to parly organization with all his soul, Stronuo 'Sly opposed the threa tened boll made by Tillman bill was "snowed under" iu the convention, irby in that convention rang his own political knell in a clarion appeal for loyalty to the national party Organiza tion and coupled with it defiance ami denunciation oi the treachery embodied in the threat of Tillman to desert the party unless it agreed with him. That was one picture. Now comes Senator Tillman and ac cuses McLaurln of treachery because he does not in some matters of policy vote with the Democratic party organ ization, his chief offense being that lie voted on the ratification oi the treat,\ of Paris with the majority of the Itc publlcansand as Wm.J. Bryan advised. That is another picture. Meanwhile, the Ohio democrats have held a state convention in which they snubbed and insulted Bryan and ignored free silver, and their action is universally conced ed as for shadowing a complete suiucr sault on the part of the national demo cracy and a return to a democracy Which is at least as close to the views of McLaurln as to those of Tillman. Now two thirds of the people ol Lau renscounty know that Senator Tillman is an honest man, who puts principle far above party, who will not follow his party if it turns its back on principle just as he proclaimed in that May con vention of 180(1. There is no predict ing what the Democratic party will fa vor in its next platform but knowing the rugged and incorruptible honesty of Senator Tillman, we can safely pre dict, in fact we know, that he will stand sturdily by the Kansas City platform of I?O0, including free silver at 1(1 to 1, anti-imperialism, Bryan ism and so On, party or no party. The fu ture course of the democracy even Sen ator Tillman will concede is a tnatti r of doubt but the course of Senator Tillman himself is as fixed and certain as the pointing of the needle to the pole. Who then can say that the dem ocracy of South Carolina, adhering to the national democracy, will not be compelled to burl Tillman over the breastworks even ftsMcLaurttl now lias been hlirlod? Who then in South Carolina at this time when the national democracy is unsettled and undefined in its attitude ami ignorant of its own nature is competent to pass on the par ty qualifications of any niauV Not un til the National convention of 1001 can it be known who is or wdio is not a democrat, the party to-day being in a condition of kaleidoscopic transition. Senator Tillman alone is not a parly democrat and does not claim to be one ?he is a democrat on principle now as he thundered that be was in thai mem orable May convention of 180(1,?but it is more than possible that McLaurin may be Incomparably closer to the Democratie standards which the Na tional Convention of 1!)01 will raise.
