LAI 1'KXS. S. ('., Aug. 2s, 1U01. >V. A. Noal, Pardoned. Col. Neal ha-, been pardoned by his Excellency, Gov. MoSvvooney. wearo not advised whothor upon the plea of bad health or not. Col. Neal was Su perintendent of the State Penitentiary and Wtt9 convloted of failing to turn over State fund.-, within thirty days after expiration of his oiliolul term. I'ending his appeal from his sentence the mercy comes. It has been eaid that ho was convicted of n technical violation of law: but this is a mistake ? the ipiestion wa- a simple; one of fact?did he turn over, or did he not. We Buppose the Governor knew what he whs about and we have little criti cism to make. There is no doubt but Neai bad a bad lot around him and this Is some pallhlt'on of his short-coming, it would, howjvor, have been more de cent il Neal 'iad gone to jail under the sentence la-fore asking for mercy. Hut again, he was surrounded by advisors It is perhaps as well bis prosecution and conviction will have its good effect. Since Ihe above was put in type, Attorney Goneral liolllngor has pub lished a tart protest of the Governor's action. He claims that Neal still owes tho State $2,1100, and emphasizes that the defence and not the prosecution was consulted by his excellency. It Is a case, however, of locking the stable door after the Btoed has been stolen. Pish. Hon. J. T. Johnson, with his family, spent several days in the city during last week Ho, with a governmentolll cial, has completed the inspection of mail routes for free delivery and the1 inspector has gone to Washington to report. Mr. Johnson Is very anxious upon the mattel of supplying our streams with fish. We beg to add that it is a matter of much coneci n to our people. We hope therefore our friends on the Reedy, Hnoroe and Suluda, will give tho matter attention. Let us have somo of the luxuries as woll as the necessaries of life. We don't know who aro the llsh eaters In the county, but we aro advised that Dr. Cox,G. W. JDrummond, .1 lin HlUard, Mart Burdlno, Tom Pedon, Abrain Cook, the Culbert BOns on the Ktvdy, It. Wharton, Wash McOrary and U hundred others will not kick at a three pounder fried ten min utes out of the water, after or before soup. Write to Congressman Johnson and get information as to supplying your streams with the tinny tribe. The License Tax. Our good neighbor, the Clinton Chronicle, don't like the license tax system of that town and talks right out in meeting : "The present license system is un just, ill-constructed, illy executed and displays absolutely no*intelligence in its preparation. Wo understand that it .-as borrowed bodily from Laurens. If so it is do credit to the Laurens law makers. Clinton has no use for such a crude law and it must go. Kven if it is retained as a law, it will never be practically operative, or universally ap plied: and for a town to take laxes from one man and not from another is hardly better than robbery." We aro not prepared to tackle so big a Subject as the tax system, but beg to suy for the bcnollt of our cot em por or y that the system was not original with Laurens. Wc don't like taxes in any form. We are with tho Irishman who being told to answer as to how he would be tried (by Cod and my country) an swered that "he did not want to be tried atal. atal. ycr Honor." Let us not weary of well-doing, es pecially when it contributes to our own well-being. The Winsboro News and and Herald noting the proposed in crease in the capital stock of the Lau rens Furniture Factory emphasises the importance of ''.small industries" to towns. A man must fade and shrink into nothingness, because he must not continue to grow. Hut a town need not cease to grow, because new enter prises add to its youth and vigor, for young and old men should put their heads to-getber to doviso something for tho benefit of tho city and then put their eapital, energy and intelligence together for it- conduct. Hy the way, when it was proposed to have the streets of a town in England paved with wooden blocks, Sidney Smith sug gested, that, the city council put their beads together. When you go to the circus the fellow who twists himself into a half dozen shapes ami knots is a big end of the show. He is a contortionist. The Mc Laurin Press twist it into Tlllman vs. McLnurin ?really the title should be McLaurin ndvs. the people In plainer terms the people against McLaurin. We should call a spade a spade, a pitch fork a pitchfork. No good can come of describing a -pade as an instrument used for uplifting a part of mother earth and tossing it into a convenient carriage for conveyance to a neighbor ing part of the terrcstial sphere. #% Not a Hit of IIarm. There is u disposition to criticise the fact that Gov. McSweoney's refusal to accept, the Senatorial resignations has not stopped a big campaign and much political pow-wow. Hut what matters it? 11 is holiday time with everybody ?and if anybody enjoys a political ha rangue, why let him have his (ill. He alth's, it is a kind of charity and all of us enjoy and feel better fordoing good. Tho politicians and political aspirants want to talk mid be heard of ail men, and It would be cruel not to turn out on occasion and hoop them up. So tho complaint of too many political meetings is premature and not these meetings, for those who enjoy them. * * Interest Hags. Peace in the Philip pines, and South African troubles about ended, ami China resting in peace. A little chronic trouble down In Central America and the Panama Kallroad threatened. Wc have on band the cup contest for September, tho matter if Hannah or Teddy will be tho next Presidential champion: with tho Democrats, If or not Free silver: the Georgia Governor ship, and tho man or iiiod who have tho tinhtost grip on Tilhnan's coat-tall for the succeeding Senutorship. So much peace, qu'et and order in tho world mark indeed a charming situation while wo watch our cotton "put on," ?-our watermelon patches J. C. Otis, of Gaffnoy, la announced as a candidate for tho United states Senate. He la reported to bo a frlond of SenatorTillinan. Query*?Docs that settlo it? ? ? Special End of tho Season prices on all Summer Goods. Soo ad. The Hub. Mr. J. c. Otts, of Gaffney. 9ays In a curd that ho Is not and will nut be a candidate for the United States Senate noxt year. Now hero ho may lose a lofty position, but save himself a deal of trouble He may also console him self thusly: "In times like these, when wicked men bear sway, The post of honor is a private Station." So wroto Addison in "Cato" In the best daws of England and when the ac tor spoke the lines in the great theatre. Drury I.ano, the shouts of the audience shattered the shingles on the rafters. * ft * The law required the Governor of Mississippi to examine the ofllco of the State otlieialson the 15tb, August. One of the otlloials was$100,000short but on the 20th the money was In the office, No doubt tho ollieial took the chances and was obliging political friends. THE ADVERTISER has persistently op posed tho creation of new ollicos, with salaries Perhaps THE ADVERTISER has been wrong. It might prove eco nomical to double the number of otllcos, triple the salaries, and put the rascals in, Tho offices would go around, the ollicials would be satisfied with tho pay, and thus the country could boast of having till honest men in position? of trust and honor. (iov. McSweonoy will not reply to Attorney General Bellinger's criticism of his pardon of N'eal. The Governor is wiso. Silence is golden. The fel low that shuts bis jaw, keeps his mouth shut, is given credit for ten times what he knows. Calhoun, Webster, ami Clay, who wagged their tongues, lived for years to see mediocrity go to the top. The Governor does well to keep a wise tongue in his head. * * Wo have several truck farms and dairies in the county, and the industries are reported as successful. There is a consensus of opinion that a poultry farm near tho city would prove profi table and a great convenience to the city, a ready market. The demand is active anil will grow. ? M, F. Tig he, formerly acting steno grapher for the Second' Circuit, is cut ting a great swath as a leader in the contest between the steel trust and its laborers in the middle North and West States. The strike is in some respects the largest ever known, and Tighe's speeches aro said to be trash movers ? Barnwell People Mr. Tighe will be remembered by I.aureus citizens as Secretary of Col. lrby in the lirst years of his service in the Senate. *** This Will Interest Many. To quickly introduce 13. B.

Just forty year3 igo Com pany "F ' bmle farewell to home, family and friends, ami began ihc march of the four .years war between the States: Fftcen of those that entered the set vice were; present on last Saturday and answorod, here, when the roll was culled. Though all -bowed age and hard service they seemed to forget it when they met their old comrades, shook hands and looked Into tho faces of friend.-., tried and true Ten or fifteen of oar number still live, but wore not present. The ro mnindor of oar Company of one hun dred and forty-two have answered the last call, and will meet with us no more until that Creut Day when all nations will meet in one great and last gather ing. .Notwithstanding the rain that was falling there was quite a gatborlm; of friends of the "Old Vets", and every thing gave evidence of life, love and prosperity. The holies were III evi dence and entertained us with sweet music and recitation. Representative F. 1*. McCowan. Sen ator o. P, Goodwin, and the second edition of William (4. Gore, made quite laconic speeches,but the most entertain ing of all was the presence of the good ladies and the good Illing] thoj spread on the long table showed evidence ol the respect they have lor those who fought and lived, as well as those who fought and died. 1 am pcrsirucd that had Leo and .Jackson had such rations to issue we could have whipped all Van kydoodledom. After dinner all present voted the reunion a perfect success in every par ticular. Also, gave big-hearted Capt. Yarborough a unanimous vote of thanks for Ins abundant hospitality, made him a member of Co. and accepted his invitation to meet at his place on the 19th ol August, 1902. Then came a general hand-shake and good bye 'till we meet again. Jot. [Tho following interesting communi cation from a comrade in a distant State wits read amid chtcrs, and much enjoyed: I Friends and Comrades: ? Nothing would he more agreeable or afford me more pleasure than to be with you at this reunion of Co. ' F 14th S. C. V. at Yarborough's Mill on old 'Knoree, but circumstances and con ditions, beyond my control, prevent at this time, but I shall look forward to your reunion next year to be with you. I nope that the grim reaper will spare you all another year so that I can be with you in this lifo and on this side of the Klvor once more: but should my self or any of you depart from this lit" before another 19th of August, remem ber that it is but a shadow that sop erato us here from those who have passed on ahead. I have no doubt but that the spirits of all the members of Co. "F" who have passed on baforc us will be near us and well ploased with those who attend this reunion for the purpose of keeping their memory bright in our hearts. 1 cannot command language to ex press to you all the satisfaction it would alTord me to see you and tobe with you on this occasion to talk over and recount tho events wo were en gaged In nearly 40 years ago, the Incl | dents of camp life, the long weary I toilsome marches, the bivouac in the rain or snow, when wo laid down to gether to pet such rest as we could, I often without rations ami without Uro to warm our benumbed and weary bodies, foot sore, tired and hungry, the strife and confusion of many battles where many of our best and bravest shed their blood and laid down their lives for a cause that was and Is just, and if not already will be recognized as righteous by all impartial judges and minds throughout the world?a cause which being crushed by brute force cannot nor will not die, and which some time will bo vindicated even our enemies and their descendants will become convinced that wc were right and themselves wrong, that every Con federate soldier who fell in that strug gle gave up his blood and his life not to bold the African in slavery but to uphold and maintain the freedom of the individual, the liberty of tho citi zen, human rights, the right of the poorest and humblest to be regarded as human, and to keep the souls, Mesh and blood of Americans above the rule and dominion of the god of mammon, the Golden Galf, tho only divinity wor shiped to-day by the ruling ami gov [ erning powers of this nation. It was not to liberate the negro thsl caused the war, but to enslave free white men. to subdue and break the spirit of Amer icanism so that this country could be ruled by the Tory Aristocracy, repre sented by Alexander Hamilton, when this government was beinir formed. Also, the puritanism of the North en vied the wealth of the South, and t heir intention was to impoverish The South ern people because they knew that if the Southern people could be subdued their schemes of aristocratic govern ment would have no other impediment. I The abolisfonists know that slavery would dio out and the African bo re turned to bis native land if they would keep their mouth shut and let the South alone: but to accomplish their objoct they used slavery as a pretext? they freed tho negroes from personal masters and made slaves of every man, woman, and child In the United States who hits to work for a living, to the money power. Wo arc to-day in more abject slavery to the money power than the negroes wore to personal masters, although the humiliation accompany ing such an admission prevents many men from acknowledging tho fact. The self sacrifice and devotion of the Con federate soldiers to the cause of hu manity at large will yet be recognized by all fair minded men everywhere. Let not the name of traitor or rebel as applied to us by our enemies deter us from keeping the memory of our fairen comrades ever-green in our hearts, and without malice, hatred or envy, firmly maintain the justice of our cause and the honesty and int verity of our motives. Lot it not bo taught our children or ?ny of our people that those, of us who gave up thoir llvoa in that struggle were misguided, dishon est or insincere in their devotion to to the cause of liberty ami humanity everywhere, and that while we ack nowledge defeat wo maintain the hon esty of our acceptance of the rosult of that war, but that we have nothing to apologize for, nothing to bo ashamed of and nothing to regret but the loss of so many of our comrades, kindred and friends, and that we were not success ful . Hoping that you will enjoy your selves,that many if not all Of you may be present, and that In renewing the ties that hold us together on so many bat - tlefields from (Jaino's Mill to Appamat tox, that all will remember me as ever their friend and comrade. b\ P.

Then we had an address by Mr. Frank McGowan, of f.aureus, on tho cause of the great war between the state-, it was a masterly elTort, one that I don't think our Northern friends could an swer. Then dinner was announced, a picnic dinner that surpassed anything the writer has ever witnessed.
