LAUKENS. S.U., Sept. 25, 15)01. The Anarchist. Anarchy?without rule?antagonism to rule?opposition to all rule and au thority? tho word itself is throe thous and years old. In some form or other It has existed since the establishment of Government by man. Tho outlaw lias been found In all ages and in all countries. Barabas was a robber In the very zenith of the Kornau empire a servile war by refugees from justice lasted for a decade, requiring great armies to crush It out. Orators In our Democratic country have been fond of declaring this the refuge of the op pressed in all lands. Hut robber bands organized for plunder, by hundreds and thousands, reached this country with the fathers and for two hundred ycar.-> j preyed upon the commerce along our ' coasts und of course murdered when ever murder became necessary. Theorists in all the ages have filled the oarth with dogmas against existing Institutions and the existing order of things. Until recent modern days a popular ruler, a successful general or a king by divine right (sooallod) was con veniently removed or put out of the way as a common place or ordinary afTair. As a rule, ambition, and tho desire to usurp rule, was the motive in most cases. In recent years and within the short poriod that education and liberty, freo speech and a freo press, have grown In the nations, a vast litorature has spread over the world affecting economic or der or governmental regulations. So cieties exist under many names for the propoganda of Idoas, and theories, honestly and dishonestly held, antago nizing existing institutions and sag- 1 gesting remedies. They arc known as nihilists, anarchists, communists, so cialists, etc., and progagate their theories secretly or openly as may be found practical according to tho local ity. Then there arc thousands of the ablest of mankind, as Tolstoi, a ltus 8ian of high rank and vast wealth, and a volumionous writer, who have recent ly tilled tho oarth with communistic or kindred theories. The armies of dis contented throughout tho earth (and they arc legion, naturally.) it may bo honestly, and dishonestly, espouse those theories, It is bat a step from hatred to govormont?- to the Governor, and of course that among tho weak, und tho malignant muss, individual murderers may be found. They falsely and madly conclude themselves tho stop children of the oarth, and that by removing tho agent, thoy romovo tho catiso of their immuginury wrongs. Thla Is an age of wonderful intellec tual activity and a million or millions are born every year who think it is their mission to reform the institutions of men. We are not going to get rid of anarohy and those false isms until wo are rid of mon. Closing the gates against anarchists at tho great Ports is absurd. Anarch ists will breed among us as tho grass grows. In the mean while, wdiile there is no such dream to bo entertained as tho perfeotability of mankind, the world will improve. Rulers, and great men, and rich, will continue to be the victims of the assaults of mad men and misanthropes,but society must abide the conditions as in the past. But tolerance for liberty should not wouken the hand of justice. The mur derer, must be hanged, and that quick ly, and the disturber of the peace meet promptly tho Iron-gloved hand of tho law. A sufficient civil police to insure tho safety of rulers and those in authority can and should be provided at any cost. The custom grown almost into law In this country of the President hold ing receptions and receiving and hand shaking with every tramp and vagabond who may push Into the throng Is ridic ulously absurd. Of course this is a re public, where there aru no classes or class distinctions, and the lime should not and will not come when the decent citizen is denied access to tho highest official. It will bo the easiest matter in tho world to provide for the safety of tho President and that without olli cial parade. The nation should conio to its senses and rocover its head. Wellington's Late Denial. Washington, September 11?.?Senator Wellington, of Maryland, has written a letter to a friend In this city, denying that ho said ho was indifferent to tho shooting of McKinley and expressing his abhorronco of Czolgoc/.'s crime. Wellington was promptly expelled from tho Union Loaguo Club of Balti more, and the proposition came from a Southern Journal to expel him from tho Senate. The Sena'or was given no time to explain. It comes from people losing their heads, and somewhat in this instance from Wellington voting with tho Democrats in the last Con gress. **# Excruciating. Webator tho Internal Kcvenue Col lector, dying, creates confusion in tho camp. Clayton and L. W. C. Hlalock, aro both discussed by the old lino Re publicans Tho McLaurln crowd, it Is said, will hustle for a commercial Democrat. Tho President will hardly give tho small matter atten tion for sonic days. Though a first class horsomaii, be will want somo time to arrange his political housing, and to be firmly set in tho saddlo be - fore using his spurs. Webster Dead. E. A. Webster, internal Kcvenuo collector for this Stato, died Septem ber 17th, at his home, Orangoburg. Ho had been boss of the Republican party In this Stat3 for liftoen years and held Office when that party was In pow er. He had tho respect of tho whlto pooplo of Orangoburg, where he had long lived. * * E vorybody should bo gottlng ready for tho Fair, and a great manv are. The success of the Fair this Fall is assured, if tho people of the town and county heartily co-opor<ito.

Owing to tho Small amount of corn saved along tho banks of baluda, our farmers aro busy cutting and housing the line hay, so abundunt in this sec tion. Tho beautiful weather of the past week has enabled them to gladly fulfill the old adage, "Make hay whilo the sun shines." Tho health of our community is very good, with the oxception of Mr. Henry Noffz, who has been sick for about nine months, with no sign of Improvement yet. The Lord has most wonderfully bless ed us in tmo of the most gracious re vivals that we have had at betbabara in a numbor of years. The preaching was most earnestly, eloquently ami suc cessfully dune by that hard working man of God, Rev. .). 15. I'arrott. This being the eighth meeting that ho baa been in ho seemed fully prepared for tho work, for the Spirit unmistakably blessed every service. Before the first sermon was concluded. Ills power was manifested by Impressing our dear old pastor and his people to humble them selves before tho Lord, imploring Him for more faith. The prayer was answer ed and eight joined, before tho pro tracted mooting closed. Wc aro so grateful to the Lord for sending Uro. I'arrott, and that through him, Jesus has blessed pastor and people, honoring that lovo which binds our hearts so closoly together, and wo don't expect anything hut death to soperato us.
