War of Words.
?
Sometimes words are things or
equally as signillcent. The wordy war
between Tillman and McLaurin in so
conspicuous a platform as the L'nited
States Sonate Chamber ten days ago
was ill-timed, ill placed and unseemly.
Scowling and browboatlDg can't win.
The world laughs atgrluiacy. It was
unnecessary because McLaurin is on
tho run and done for. Tillman was
right and McLaurin has no business in
the cauous or councils of the Demo
cratio party. But Tillman was out of
place in tho contest, with bis pitchfork.
Ho ehould have loft the leader of tho
Democratic minority to light the quos
tiOD?if McLaurin is a Democrat or not
aud entitled to a seat on the Democratic
side. Democratic Senators can avail
little or nothing in this Congress, the
Republicans having a great majority
and making tho legislation. And
again tho Democrats of this Stato will
settle McLaurln's bash in clever shape
next Summer. The more ho is kicked
now the more he will rebound.
A Scare Crow.
A Good Roads Convention is in ses-1
sion at Greenvillethls week. .Bad roads ]
has been tho bete noir, or scare crow
of this State from the era of the Rod
Man. He bad no vehicles or commerce
and managed his transportation with-1
out beasts of burden. The old time]
Judges, if they could bo "called back"
would hate to see good roads, as roads
were immomorially thoir texts to the
Grand Juries in lofty sentences?that
tho roads were Indexes of the civiliza
tion of a country.
Two Laurens farmers In ante-bellum
times met at a point whore the roads I
forked about Ninety S'x, one going to j
Augusta and ih< other returning.
Which is the bo-t read? Asked
tho citizen going, and tbo re
turniug "r-ighbof answered?nJ went
one and canm the Other, you needn't
b?tfc^r. you won't get far until you
will bo ' e?TFy you didn't take the
other road. So with cur fathers. But
now it is different and we baverji't timo
to waste.
Good roads aro necessary for our
multiplied population and many indus
tries. The agitation of the present is
a healthy sign, and we hope something
will Como of it. We should build towns
and markets. A farmer should havo
good roads and bo able to leave home
and drive to market, ten miles,
over a hard road, in January, sell his]
farm produce and be home for his]
breakfast.

Gobbling up Autlcrsou.
It seems that one Hudson, of Green
ville, is agent of the Wadsworth Trus
teos, and eoeking to recover for them
lands on which the city of Anderson Is
built. And the good people of Ander
son, or some of them are excited. Wo
are of the opinion that they may rest
their souls in patienco and keop what
they havo if not what thoy own.
In 1858 "Joseph Cox, Esq., surveyor,"
in Wadsworth Trustees vs. Stevon Mc
Cully, and samo vs. Joel Towers, XI
Rich. Law, 424. found that "the greater
part of the villago" of Anderson was
located on Wadsworth land, willed to
the "poor white ohlldrou of Maj. Dun
lap's battalion, Laurons District, for
school purposes.
These were test cases, but tho De
fendants got off and held the lands un
der the plea that they had been in ad
verse possession for twenty yearn and
the Trustees bad slept upon the rights
of ' the poor white children". In the
above cases the Defendants claimed
under a Grunt. It may bo different in
the present cases and the Defendants
may claim under leasos.

A Caution.
Wo learn that tho cherry tree bus
iness wont like hot cake-, in the city
and also county. Post offices are now
loaded with dainty bunches of tho
trees. In many cases tho ladies got
their money according to contract, and
in many their money was utterly los'.
In some cases very poor girls who could
ill afford to lose a ponny lost their re
mittances $12.00 and upwards. But wis
dom comes from experience and that is
best which is paid for . The girls havo
our sympathy and we trust that the
rascals will soon be hammering stones
' in the "good roads" movemont. There
are other schemes which will roach
and havo fascinating features.

struction times a vagabond carpet-bag
preachor represented the Darlington
District, our State, in the lower House
of Congre-s. For the appointment of
a boy outside his District to a West
Point cadetshlp ho accepted a large
bribe. A resolution was Introduced to
expel him for the bribery. Just as the
vote was about to be taken and would
eertainly pass, the fellow Bent to the
Speakers desk his resignation, intend
ing to make 9 speech. Blaine, who
was La the chair, and lightning, ac
cepted tho resignation instanter, didn't
hear the follow, and told htm he was
no longer a congressman.

reminds of Aesop's eagle. An archer
