LAURENS. S. C, Oct. 80, 1001. Nothing- In a Name. ??A roso by any other name would smell as sweet." There is no doubt about this proposition of tho great dramatlo poet. "Commercial Democ racy "Is tho pseudonym under which McLaurin and followers have been kissing hands and swapping favors with the late President McKluloy and the present "frco lanco" President, the Rough Ridor. Nobody will be fooled by the name. "Commercial nomoc racy" is good enough to pass for Mc Kinloy and Roosovelt republicanism. Why, tbero is nothing in a namo. A rose by any other n:\nio would smell as sweet. Thon indeed, ail tho gentlemen who are aocopting olllce, favors, and dinings and wfnings, and kissing glassos with the Rough Rider, are good, honest fol lows?gentlemen. Wo aro speaking now of South Carolinians. They would not accopt anything except they gav? an honest equivalent?quid pro quo something for something. They aro all "honorable men," and must stand by Rosy, and accopt his favors. Let us, however, be gentle with them - they may call themselves new fangled names?"commercial democrats," If you pleaso. It is tender with them now?and they should bo dealt with softly. After a little their pockots will bo swelled and they will be full of good swill and will bo full-grown re publicans in namo. as well as In faot. But they will not bo much in our way, don't you know. *** A H?ten in Time. A merchant but the other day want ed to buy ten car loads of corn through a broker in this city. This is a poin ter. There is nob ? fifth of a supply of corn in tho county. Our people eat very llttlo of tho product of corn In this day and time. Black and white eat broad made from wheat flour and we oall it eako, or once so called it. There is plenty of seed wheat In the country and .planters should sow It largely and sco that their tenants do tbo same or they should sow it liberally and supply their tenants It is easy to supplement tho corn deficiency. There is abundance of hay to subsist the stock until April, and by sowing oats, barley, rye and clover another crop can be made. These are tho natural feed of tho horse and In no other country but this Is corn fed to tho horso half so liberally. Wc will do well to got our pigs fit for the knifo on what little corn is iu the country. #_ Lee County.

Editor The Advertiser: The President's entertainment of Booker T. Washington, the Rood ne gro, at family dinner has out the jugu lar of the proposed white man's repub lican parly In South Carolina. The 1 'resident's subsequent appointment In South Carolina of an alleged decent white man was a paralyzing blow to the groggy McLaurin party. Doubtless Mr. Roosevelt believed that It was his duty to declare by an act louder than any thundering wordy declaration that the woll behaved and high-mlndod negro might aspire to the sweetest joys that the society of the highest clvllixed had to offer. Doubt less the President purposed to tell the nogro that worthy achievement would I Ira. no reward boyoud his roach. The President from his point of view, the President as a Northern man, thought he was right. But tho President, and more notably, tho Northern uross that sustains him, gro38ly and absurdly misinterpret tho South. They construe Southern criti cism of the black and white dinner party as tho outburst of chlldleh preju dice. Only Northern ignorance in doallng with this critical matter ilnds utterance. The barrier that the white man raises In tho South against soolal intercourse with the negro is merely the expression of the white man's Instinct for the purity of his blood. With millions of negroes swarming at our doors we know that rigid, iron-handed, pltiloss exclusion of them from tho dream, much more from the realization, of so cial equality, is the single hope of tho whlto race to oscapo loathsome extinc tion. This profound feeling, call It preju dice if preferred, does not exist gene rally In the North because tho menace of numbers Is absent. Northern men can receive the cultured negro of Ala bama as Southern men received the cultured yellow colored man of China in Auhevlilo last week. But Southern men had hoped that in this relationship to the negro that embarrases and threatens them hero, thoy had the sympathy, the tolerant and hopeful sympathy of the President and tho North. They thought that the North understood; and that at last the best of the North had agreed with the best of the South, that the negro should bo lifted by education to a higher level, but none tho less separate level from that of the white man. Tho Washington dinner and its ro ceptlon in the North explodes this hone. It is woll that it does. It is well that tho Northern President and the Northern press defiantly toll us that social equality is tho goal that they wish for tho negro. It is woll that wo are put on guard and wo should be thankful for the timely if blundor ing warning. It is possible that this incident is of only passing significance. We hope that It Is. Wo hope that It does not permanently moan that tho appear anoes of frlondllness on the part of tho North towards the South made so plain by Mr. McKinley'? administration aro not idle Yet for the present we must assume that thoy are. t 'mil there Is another and a different manifestation, let us realize that boyond Mason and 'Dlokeon's lino Is still nurtured tho son t i men t that threatens all that the South as a people holds most dear. Later, pos sibly oven during Mr. Roeeevelt's ad ministrations, conditions may change and it may be revealed that the Washington Incident may not bo fol lowed by the consequences that logl oally would How from it. But wo can not without a foolhardy disregard for racial safety take this for granted. The writer of this has sympathized largoly with some of the views held by Mr. M'cLaurin and would now ropudl ato many of the doctrinos of Bryan Democracy, believing them ill-advised and foolish. But it behooves us to face the fact that tho raco question affects us far more nearly and vitally than any of mere political expediency. It, thereforo, behooves evon those who be llovo with the writor that the creation of another political party than the Democratic in tho South, but one founded on whlto social exclusivonees as its keystone, would make for liberty and advancement to hold far aloof from tho McLaurin-Roosevelt-Washington coalition, at least until a change comes. Holding in contempt the po litical methods of Senator Tillman as I do, I cannot as a Southern man or as an American citizen refrain from acknowledging that he is under these conditions a safer leader than Senator McLaurin Onoe there was a prospect that McLaurin would replace the malodorous republican party In South Carolina with a clean and healthy or ganization. Now it appears that tho change is only onoof office-holders with no outlook for material improvement, for Mr. Roosevelt has made improve ment for the time Impracticable. In my judgment, the man who holds office in South Carolina under Mr. Roosevelt gives implied approval to Mr. Roose velt's views, evon though he does not feel that approval and the McLaurin party by Mr. Roosevelt has been dragged to the plane which Republi canism ocoupled in South Carolina be fore McLaurln's advent. Finally, as a sound money man, as an opponent of Mr. Bryan's views, as an opponent of Senator Tillman, as a be liever in expansion and Id legislative measures for the commercial develop ment of the whole country and partic ularly of tho South, I hopo that some thing will take place that will oblite rate the memory of this Booker-Wash ington alt'i.'u- and remove the fear with which it was ladon for ovory patriotio white man in the Southern Statos. But at thl-i time there is but one thing for the white man to do and that is to close up! All along the line! And de j fond the white man's colors! American. Whitman Telegraphs Tillman. Hon. G.

I must confess my surprise at your censure of myself before the court af ter having me before your honorable body in tho Grand Jury room, and ex pressing yourselves as satisfied with my statement of ray official conduct. 1 have soon several of the body since the i 'resent men t was made, and they toll me it was not thoir intention to cen sure me. I accopt it with meekness. Rut must say you should bo very care ful to examine the petitions proscntod your Body bofore you should censure a public officer for misconduct. It is a vory easy matter to get up potltlons , for men are prone to Und fault if they cannot lead others to do their bidding. Now lot us examine that wondorful petition. It starts out with saying: We the undersigned tax payers of Lau rena County. Now twelve namos ap pear signed to it. Eight of the twelve are not on the tax books of Laurcus county, But ono of tho twelve llvo in our county, tho other eleven live in Nowberry county, and this one works In Nowberry. This wonderful array of citizenship from Nowberry pays taxes to tho amount of $41.01) In Laurons county. We have in Laurens county a popu lation of 37,580, as per census 1001, and $5,000.088 of assessed property, and no complaint from theso to censure the Supervisor. But this petition from Nowberry, headed by tho "Grand Mo gull" of K innres is used to injure an ofllcer who has tried to do his duty. Now gentlemen I cannot seo your de sign. But I expect to do my duty as I see It In the interest of overy cit'zen of Laurens county, and will not be drlvon by any one. In conclusion I will say to the honor able gentlemen from Newberry, as they seem to be so much intorosted in tho roads of Laurens county, and have not contributed one oent for these better ments, if each of you will send me ono dollar I will take great pleasure in making your paths smooth and straight that a way-faring man may not err therein.
