Political Summer School. As repor te d for tho News und Courier hy I'Mitor of Lturens Advertiser. Luureus, s ptoniber 12. ? Special : The udvertUod political "summor mooting; was called to order in i t House by County Chairman (i. I*. Smith at 11 a.m. Tho Court room was full, about three hundred people being present, one-third from the city and two-thirds substantial farmers. Messrs. J. T. Johnson, A. C. Latluier, J. J. Homphlll and George Johnstone arrived last evening and ad .i the meeting. Senators Mc I.nurin and Tlllmatl and others wore !. but did not attend. Mr. lion, dcrson, of Aiken, wroto, explaining that u previous call to Hampton Coun ty prevented his being here. The -peeches, of forty minutes each, were necessarily on the same lines as horetoforo?oxpanslon alias Imperial ism, subsidy and protection and were celved with enthusiasm. Congress man Johnson, an old Laurons man, met ;i cordial round of applause when he bowed to an old home audienoe. Ho said that thcro were three questions raised by tho occasion which brings i audience together, expansion, sub sidy, protection. He differentiated ex pansion of JolTersonlan times and the ? way of tho commnnder-ln-chief of tho army and the navy. Jeffersonlan prin u'p'rs aro sound today and lit all times ?I~ 11 ? ten eonnnandmonts. The Ham ['Ionian Idea is adverse to the rule of the people. Protection is Republican ism. We are all expansionists in one sonso, but Industries and commerce must not bo expanded at tho exponso of rieht. The proposed subsidy is a gjjt pure and simple OUt Of tho public trcasurey. His speech was mostly on this subject and was well received. Congressman Latimer was greeted heartily. He hud his audience by the car with an anecdote and the pith of hi- speech was caught when no an nouueed that the extraordinary course of the junior S< uator had brought the audience together. He referred to tho Anderson meeting, when McLaurln slipped in at the back door at tho elev enth hour, with a yelling crowd at his hi k Th i same crowd would have v i ed for him if he had been the black e-t Republican' Hut Anderson will bo fottud all right when tho votes aro counted. He then made a specialty of the unlor Senator's record. MoLaurin was blacklisted with himself, but he soon had his patronage when he tound him to have bacKslided and pandering to tho powers. Ho would bo horo to day if he were assured Tlllman would not. Not a Democratic. Senator has any respect for him. Ho touched ex |>anslon, subsidy and protection, and captured the crowd with his climax that the new movement is old Republi canism. The crowd was getting a little tired whon Mr. Homphlll was introduced, hut an anecdote, a pleasant aside, and i.t was soon in full accord with tho au dience, His speech was devoted to the practical failure as well as theoretic wrong of Kopubliean expansion. Ho put strongly the enormous burden, present and prospective, of supporting this policy. It is a false pretence and a cheat that prosperity must follow from trade with the people of tho cast w ho live on pauper wages, and he com pared our Kastern trado with Canada and Western nations. lie was particu larly clear and strong upon tho matter. His speech had close attention, punot uatod wI'll applause, and his anecdote of the bad fellow, who confessed to all the sins to his parson, but thanked God he still had his religion, applied to Re publicans calling themselves Demo crats, captured the crowd. Col. George Johnstone Is well known hero. II?* is an crater and an earnest spoakor. He spoke lust, but there was no impatience when it was known he was to come. Ho was greeted warmly. His speech was an eloquent arraign ment of the arbitrary rule of tho Phil ippines by tho autocratic will of the President. The theme just suited his genius. He was forced largely to go over the ground of the other speakers, but he did it with original and charac teristic force. lie said that the post otliccs were tho small change compen sal Ions for transforming Democrats in to Republicans. Tho subsidy scheme la entonded to divort the country from the Isthmian Canal, of such vast con cern to the , eople. He was greatly ap plauded. Ho told his coon story and the meeting dissolved. The meeting will have a good effect. Why So Popular.
