LAUltENS, 8. C, Mar. 5, 1002. Jim Till in an. It will be readily recalled that South Carolina was called upon to furnish two regiments in tbo late war with Spain. It will also bo recalled that thero was no largo rush towards Uncle Sam's standard and that Gen. Hampton threatened to volunteer himself unless the quota loyally came forward. The regiments were finally raised after hard pulling, many extensions of time, but too lato to bo in at the fight ing. Lieut-Governor Tillmau, Colo nel of one of these regiment?, raised a fund recently and bought a sword for prosentatlon to Major Jenkins, of this State, who fought along elde of the President in Cuba and attracted his attention and tho Prosldent had ac cepted an invitation from Lieutenant Governor Tilliuan to present tho eword at ('hurl.- .(on, and now comes our Lieut Governor, signinghiinsolf Lieut-Gover nor, witb-drawing tho invitation to the President to present this sword, and now comes comment from all points of the compass upon Tlllman's assump tion to ropresent this State in such a matter, when the State had nothing to do with It. THE Advkrtiskh thinks hla Uncle lion will pull through his own emergency at Washington but will have n hard time taking care of his nephew who can't forget he is commis sioned Liout-Govornor of South Car olina. V Tho United Statos Senate shows it self exceedingly small in making such an ado over a fisticuff fight between two Senators. As long as tbo United States Senate, unlike the British House of Lords, is an important factor in leg islation In this country there will be just such scraps in tbo United States Senate and also in tbo House of Repre sentatives. It was over thus and will so continue. Dignity belongs to indi viduals. It is a part of character and is natural to no body of men, olther parliamentary, munloipnl or forensic. When tho Gauls violated the rules of tho Roman Senate there was no resent ment but when the persons of tho Sen ators wero violated tho fight was on. The rules of tho Senate so far as they preserve order and tbo personal bear ing of the Senators make up the so called dignity. It is astonishing that the so called dignified body, Republi can and Democratic, was so dazed by the littlo outbreak of disorder. All parties should be ashamed of them selves. *** The Incident in which Tillman and McLaurin wero actors ought to pass with an apology from those gentlemen. Tbit apology they have already made. Tillman ought to take himself more seriously. In apologising to tho Senate his statement that holding the office of Governor of South Carolina unfitted him to recogni/.o tbo dignity of the United States Senate is exceedingly funny. Wo bad thought that In that high office ho was brought in contact with the very top of tho pot and got the necessary training to meet the high cockoloruras of at least a Repub lican Govornmont. Before wo elect another Senator wo must put him In training at fashionable courts like Brussels, St. .Tamo3 and possibly the Turk. # # # The Emperor's brother, Henry, has been decently troatod in this country. No niggardliness has markod our de portmon. to him and he has put on no airs. Common sonso rules among princes, emperors, business men and, ua a rule, beggars. There are times when great display or great plainness should prevail, according to the occa sion. The wedding garment should be kept and brought forth as is fitting. There will bo thoso who will criticise the German element in America for their cordial reception of thoir titled countryman. Who is it that does not want to see his son and his friend's son rise in the world and command tho ap plause, of even listonlng Senates? # # * Some newspapers in this State cry out against Senator Spooner that ho Is responsible for tho assault upon Mc Laurin In tho Senato. This is a very foolish conclusion. To got Til I man and other Democratic Senators to show thefr long ears and make fools of them selves la precisely what Spooner is In the Senate for. As we said last week . Tillman ought to bo ashamed of him self, a South Carollra Senator and a man of ability to have boon led into a trap by any man, muoh loss by Spooner. Tlliman however could expect nothing but a fight when charging that Mc Laurin had boen bought with the broth of patronage to support the Republi can administration. *.* Is it likely that the control of pa tronage In South Carolina would have been given McLaurin except for his vote for the treaty? Isn't It beyond doubt that men like McKinley and Roosevelt, gratoful for help at such a crisis, would ronder the compensation without a bargain to that effect? But when McLaurin found that unquestion ably he was misrepresenting the Dem ocrats of his State and of every State should ho not havo resigned his com mission? It is to th<8 conclusion it must come at last. Tillman will be endorsed by the Domooracy. # ?* ? Captain It. S. Morgan, of Greenville and long one of tho attaches of the Greenville News, died last week. He was a Confederate Captain, a native of Virginia, a high type of manhood and a real gentleman, ft Is not often that we see his liko. Prince Henry and President Roose velt listened to the tribute of Judge Hay to McKinley in the hall of repre sentatives on Thureday last. The eu logy on Washington at the request of Congress, was delivered by Light Horse Harry Lee, father of General Robert E. Lee, and in tho address Washington is deolared "First In war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen". The words are re garded as descriptive. McKinley though a decent gentleman and fair to the South, must take rank In history as a mediocre President and an ordi nary Statesman. ? * ? Tho quostlon of the last few days has been the rresidenvs visit to Charles ton. It Is now announced that he will go the latter part of tho month. A detachment of prominent Charlesto nians went up to Washington, ex tended a personal Invitation an. smoothed out the complications oauaod by Jim Tillman's telegram. ?** Prince Henry, who in his tour of tho country, came as far South as Chatta nooga, was most cordially received. He rodo In tho AlleghaDles with tho engineer at tho rate of sixty miles an hour. Tbla was plucky enough for a sailor. Tho best part was the fact that he was not afraid of getting his clothes soiled. *#? Tillman and McLaurln's diversion has been greatly oxaggoratod in impor tance by both tho Sonate and tho coun try. Senator Tillman's effort, however, to minimize its importance bo will find a mistake. Sympathy will come to him from South Carolina but the South even Is a big country. ? Mr. W. L. Durst, of Greenwood, a leading businessman, promlnontin tho Baptist Church, the friend of tho Con nie Maxwoll Orphanage, died at Green wood, February 24th. He will be groatly missed. *?* Farmersare getting anxious for good plowing weather. The good ladies are growing very anxious about their peas and potatoes and want to seo the roses bloom. ** Wo learn that the recent Act of As sembly provides for election in School District of Clinton on Issue of $5,000 Bonds to build a suitablo school house. ?% March came in with the usual symp toms and something of the roar of the lion. We may therefore expect April with the gentienoss of the lamb. * * * Tillman's second in his senatorial embrogllo is Senator Turner of the State of Washington, three thousand miles on tbe Pacltlc. * _ * The great rains of last week caused immense loss of property from Maino to Texas and some loss of life.

After I had used it only a few days according to your directions, the noises ceased, and to-day. a f ter five weeks, my hearing in tbe diseased car has been entirely restored, I thank you heartily and beg to remain Very truly yours.
