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.

Hon. W. A. Shands.
Twenty yours ago, our friend, whose
bamo heads this article, was an honored
an I iHithfu! representative of Laurens
in the House of Representatives. He
was in the city last week to see hie
many friend l or many years he ha*
beeil Intendant of our sister, Clinton,
and under his wise administration it
has grown to he an educational centre,
and one of the fairest and most pro
gressive towns in the State. All of
Laurens is proud of Clinton, and Clin
ton owes much to the honored hoad of
her eity Government.
Death of l'rof. <J. L. Johnson.
Mr. Johnson died on Thursday last at
Belton, in Anderson oauntv, where he
was engaged in teaohing, of typhoid
fever. Ho was a native of I,aureus,
whore he had spent his young life, un
til recently called to Helton. He was
brad to the law and p'raotieed at this
bar until dually concluding to devote
his lir^e to teaching. He was a voting
man oi line promise, und universally
respected.
His remains wero brought to Hope
well, in this OOUnty, and there sleep
with a long line oi respected ancestors.
His \oung widow and children will
have the deep sympathy of many sin
cere frleuds.
The Helton correspondence of the
Greenville Nows gives tl.o following
Sketch pi the short life of this noble
young citizen :
Professor Johnson came here from
I.aureus county last June, having been
chosen by the trustees of the school as
superintendent for the onsuing year.
He was educated at Furmiin Univer
sity, graduating there at the ago of 21
years. He taught in tho Wadsworth
school for nearly four years after his
graduation and afterwards taught the
Lobanoo school in Anderson city: read
law at South Carolina College aiul was
admitted to the bar; forme I a co-part
nership with the Ron. Jos. T.Johnson,
then of Laurens, practiced law for sev
eral yoara in Lauren-. He then decid
ed that ho could do more good insohool
work and again entered pedagogical
work at Owiugs station, from" which
place he came to Helton. He was a
man well liked by everyone >vho knew
him, not only for his social qualities,
but for his characteristics us a consist
ent Christian gentleman, and was a
member of tho Baptist church at Hel
ton and was a great Sunday school
worker. He married Miss Ella Shell
Hulloek in 1892 and leaves a widow and
four children to mourn his untimely
decease.
l>o You Want to Educate Yourself
and Children.'
The Laurens Lyceum course is one
means of doing to. Then tho question
arises what the cost, only 50 cents a
night for a first-class lecture, but to
obtain that low rate you must get a
season ticket. Three dollars for double
tickets for these attractions. Do )Oil
want Laurens to bo behind other towns
and schools in this end of the State
If not, support the Lyceum eouive.
The Laurens Star Course wants your
support in getting BUch men of talent
as George lt. Wendling, of Illinois,
"He is a brilliant jury lawyer, and oik
of the most accomplished orators of
America, a loyal sen of the North, he
has laid upon the tomb of Jackson, the
Christian soldier of the South, a wreath
of laurel that will never fade.'*?H.litor

Then later in the winter comes the
Humorist, Hon. Luther Mat)thin, who,
us an entertainer, has few equals. De
understands the human heart and
touches its tender chords at will, ming

To the Editor of tho Times, Union,
S. C. Doar Sir: i regret very much
that you aro under a wrong impression
as to my being an aspirant for the ex
ecutive ofllco of tho State, and will
thank you to make this corroction.
Some years ago, if opportunity had
offered, T would have liked to havo
boon Governor and folt then that I
could bo useful to tho people of South
Carolina. Since that time, many years
ago, great changes have occurred. I
am now advanced in life and, as I
think, beyond the ago of usefulness in
so onerous and exacting an oHlco, and
do not wish It.
Even if this were not so?slnco by
statute tho olllco has been sunk to the
low levol of chief liquor constable of
tho Stato?there must bo a distinct dis
pensary smell about tho place and
theso duties must be exceedingly disa
