The Laurens Advertiser. | $ i .00 per Year in Advance. Martha Ponatowak y. A girl descended the steps of a great gray church. In her hand she held a violin ease; a roll of music lay folded within her firm. She paused upon the lower step tp reulasp the fastening of her long black,cloak. The hood which was attached fell from her head aud disclosed a fair face with beautiful dark blue eyes. The falling hood dis arranged her hair, which hung in curb ing red-gold waves about her face. She stretched forth a white hand aud gathered up the music and violin case. As she reached the street she ab ruptly met the gaze of a stranger; for an instant they looked into each other's eyes. She saw a man with a frank, pleaeant face, and dark, pointed beard "He must be an artist," she thought, " but he looked as if he were success ful." In the Bohemia which she in habited sho had never seen the suc cessful artist. " That girl would make a fine model for a young saint; most unusual faco," he thought. " Let me see, St Cocilia, would it bo? Sho carried music. She looked patrician; but sho looked poor, and the two when they come together are always pathetic. Poor little girl, so uncommonly pretty I I wonder if she has a good mother and a comfort able supper awaiting her? I'll wagor she hasn't the latter I" When he reached his club tho girl's face arose above his tobacco smoke. " She has a face one does not often see; a face not easily forgotten; it will reappear, and a fellow catches himself building castles and dreaming dreams. Tomorrow is Easter aud they will cele brate at St. John's church. I saw her coming down tho stops carrying a vio lin; she will be likely to play; there will bo no harm in hearing her, and the old folks will be pleased to have me go to church with them." He lay back in bis comfortable chair with half closed eyes; tho girl's head immediately arose?with brow, deop blue eyes, red-gold hair wreathed in billowy tobacco smoke, which ascended in clouds laden with droams and il luminated by the incandescent lights. When Martha reached homo she climbed three liights of rickety stairs, flanked by unsightly, mouldering broken plaster. Ragged, thin-faced children, and untidy, hollow-eyed women peered from crowded doorways. More than one hopeful urchin pulled her cloak and demanded a penny. This penalty she was required to pay for having bestowed a small ottering upon a sick child the dav before. Martha opened the door of a room near the t,\y. This place was bare, with scant, poverty-stricken bareness, and so cloan that the bareness was more plainly apparent. A small win dow looked out among the clouds. You could see the steeple of St. Johns church and the great city, breathing, throbbing, grinding below, ever burst ing into a great whistle or roar. In the window an Easter lily raised its pure petalB in search of tho sun. A sweet-faced, delicate woman had pre pared tea. Martha wound her arms around her mother's neck aud kissed her. " Dear mother, Herr Moser praises me; he says it is wonderful. I am to play tomorrow at the morning service, and Herr Moser doeB not fear for me." Her mother kissed the fair choek and made the girl drink tea and eat a thin bread, which lay before her. " I have seen my uncle," said the mother. " It may bo most unfortun ate that we came to this city." The girl set her tea cup down and turned with inquiring eyes to her mother, who had arisen to pace the floor, with growiug oxcitoment. " I heard today that he is a promi nent merchant here. I have told you before, Martha, how I angered my Uncle Qerald by marrying Martin Pon atowsky, the poor Polish music master. I once wrote to ask my uncle's pardon; he had married tho beautiful Mrs. Mal colm and quite forgot me in his new happiness. I never received an an swer. Afterward I heard that he had moved away, taking his wife and step son, leaving no message for me. I loved him dearly; he has boon both father and mother to me. My prido was hurt, and in all of my wanderings I have made no effort to flnd him." The poor woman's gaze strayed upward above the Easter lily into tho cold, grey clouds of early spring. " He might forgive me now," she whispoied. " Martin ia dead." Martha kissed away tho tears that fell from her mother's eyes. " Mother, he happy. I will earn enough for ue both. Herr Moser says that atter tomorrow people will ask me to teach their daughters music. You should have seen the way he looked at me, and said, 'Bravo, little girl I' " Martha Ponatoweky sighed and said. " It is well that Herr Moser is married and grey-headed." " And bald and fat and ugly," laughed her daughter, "it is well also that he is good and charitable. No, mother, dear, fate will not wreak further vengeance lipon us. You were happy with my father, the poor music master, but you fear poverty for me, and hope that riches will Qnd ue some day and bear me uway." She placed the music open upon tho table, gently took the violin trom the box. 44 Dear father, he could do little for me, but Herr Moser says he gave me hie talent, and he bequeathed me his Cremona; together, we will awaken people, mother.'' She drew the bow slowly across the strings, tenderly screwed the key of the violin, then broke softly into the pure-toned Easter music. Softly it ascended until it seemed to pierce the mouldering ceil ing, ascending through the misty gloom of the eity twilight; ever upward until It rang triumphantly beside the 'air evening star which shone upon an Eaater lilv. .: The next morning the belle rang out from tit. John's church in sweet, glad melody, " He Has Biaen." The large church was filled with worshipers, who came attired in rioh costumes, com memorative of the joyous times. A grey light fell through the loft stained Wludows noon the head of the rector, who read, the words, " For if we have been planted together in the likeness I of His death, wo shall be ablo also In the likeness of His resurrection." The choir sang a glad, triumphant chorus; fhen a girl arose and her slender fin gers drew a bow softly across the strings of a violin, A yonng man turned his kindly hazel eyes toward 1 the organ loft, and beheld the slender figure clad in black; her ruddy golden hair curled about her brow; upon hor breast was pinned a white lily. Softly the violin mourned Christ's sufferings in the garden, the betrayal, the doom, the death, the universal sor row;, then earns the pure expectant note of hope. j . People turned with breathless inter, j \ / ? oat toward the organ loft and aaw a ge?i!?\.youthful fuc* bending slightly upward. A clear sunbeam breaking from beneath the grey clouds and rising city mists quivered through the stained mullioued windows, full upon tho girl's golden head, tinged the petal* of the lily upon her bosom, then burst Into a Hood of sunshine from chauuel tu orgau loft. The clear, vie torlous music arose, " He Has Itisen." The congregation arose in all tne pervading love and renewed happiness, which seemed to descend from heaven to earth. The music rang in sweet harmony, then died in a triumphant note df joy and love. Martha descended a dim stairway, which led from the orgau loft. Hho carried her violin; the black hood drawu close could not conceal the rich hair which ehono beneath. Three peo ple Btood at the bottom of the stair? a kindly-faced, grey-haired old gen tleman, who was duly stamped with tho mark of prosperity; a lady, erect, richly dressed, with hair drawn a la Sjmpadour, stood proudly at his sido. eyoud was the man with the dark, hazel oyes and pointed board. Tears stood within the old gentleman's eyes; geuuine feeliug shone upou his kind, high-bred face; his hands wero ox tended. " Marth?!" ho criod?" Martha Ger aid." ?? Martha Pouatowsky," said tho girl, In hor modest, musical tones. " Of course," ho cried, uyou are hor daughter, I can scarcely believe you are uot Martha herself; tako mo to your mother." His bands closed tight ly upou Martha's. " Take mo to vour niothor." ho repeated. Martha kissed hitu and said. " You are my undo." The lady with the pompadour bowed over tho baud that the girl hold out to her. When tho young man came forward she said, " This is my sou, Horbert Malcolm." Martha was looking timidly from one to tho other, when the old gcutle mau cried, " Your aunt and cousiu." Martha hardly know how it hap , penod. Thoy walked out iuto tho sun shine, tho enow was fast disappearing and around them was tho swcot, warm breath of resurrected spring. They rodo away in a carriage drawn by horses that tossed their heads proudly and trod the reccd'ng roadway wilh im 'patieut speed. Tho carriage stopped at a stately maneiou; the lady and her son alighted with a kind goodbye nnd the old gentleman said again, *? Now, take mo to Martha." The begging children reaped a sil ver shower and followed him until a door flew open, whou a glad cry of /?Uncle!" waa^heard, and the old gen Me man threw his arms nround his niece's neck and Bobbed. That evoning tho lady of the proud, v,imcion presence bent her head and said, " Arthur, forgive mo; I know you can whilo you aro happy. A let tor came from Martha suon after her marriage. I was jealous. The ser vant placod tho letter, m your absence, upon tho mantel in our library. It fell behind through a narrow aporture in the wall?it lies thoro now." His lips trembled in surprised dis pleasure. Then ho said, "Judith, I forgivo you." Martha and her mother camo to Ihc beautiful house. It was like a fairy droam to the girl; made lovely with pictures and rich objects of art. Her mothor's and uncle's faces showed an innor peace which had been absent for your a. Marthu stood before them, the violin spoke, to her touch. Malcolm's eyes were fastened upon tho exquisite face, so like a picture he had seen; he could recall the name, '* Tho Dawn of Love." When no ouo was listening he said, " I am glad I found you, Martha." THE HIGH PRICK OF BEEF. FurtucrH Ought to Appreciate the Importuticc of Cuttle RuiMitig. The Columbia correspondent of the News and Courier makes the following observations on a matter of in forest to all farmers in South Carolina : Thero has been a great deal in the newspapers receutly about the " Beef Trust" and how it has raised the price of beef on the markot. The fight has had its good and its bad results so far as this State is concerned. It has raised the price, to the consumer, of tho moat bo has had to buy, but, on the other hand, it has emphasized the op portunities for stock raising in this sec tion. It has opened up a market for South Carolina cattle and, while tho price of home-raised beef has had to go up with the price of Western meat, it has put money into tho pockets of thoso who had forethought and went into the market and bought beef for Northern and Western markets. In previous fights that the " Beef Tiust " has had the Southern markets have been ignored. No one thought there was beof enough here to supply any domand or to amount to anything. When the recent raise was enforced the retailers in the North and East figured on how they could get meat to supply the demand and not have to buy it all from the members of the or ganization, which hod raised their prices. They sent agents through the South and it was not long before thoy found a great many moro cattle than they suspected in South Carolina, that were waiting to go to the slaughter pon. Those who had bought tho cattle and put them up in pons found a sud den demand, and where they had boon selling to local doalers for three or three and a half cents gross, they found it just as easy to sell for a cent more on every pound, and then those who knew the conditions wont to work to gather ing up cattle and getting thorn near some cotton seed oil plant or other place where quick fattening food was easily to bo had, and belter prices were to be had as a result of the fattoned conditions of the animals. It is stated on authority that not less than ((00 head of cattle were shipped from Winnsboro within tbo last few months and fuiiy as many head went from Columbia. The same conditions existed in other parts of the State. Most of the cattle wero shipped to Richmond and from there distributed to the various markets, after having been graded aud classified. Those who Iiad the good sense to raise cattle for market made more monoy this year out of that line than they have ever before made, regardless of the high price of ?rain. After a while the farmers will roal jze what an easy matter it is for them to raise good cattle, and as soon as they do and the supply Is sufllcient to warrant agents coming here to look after them there will bo a good market here. The trouble all along has beon that the buyers have not thought thero Wus enough cattle here to buy for them to work thi* field carefully, but they are now finding out differently.

Five Hundred I'ooute Ldtttuucd to the HpccvlicM With UuflatfKiuu lutereut. Uroenvillo Mountaineer, Aug. 2. The six gentlemen who are candi dates for the Unitod States Seuate hon ored the peopie ot tireeuville with their presence yesterday, aud they wore greeted at the city park by an audi ence of lire hundred, including about fifty ladies, who were on the outskirts of the crowd. The order throughout the speaking was most excellent, and it was plainly to be seen that it was " Mo-Man's Land " so far as tho de monstration indicated tho preference in candidates. Greenville is fallow ground for them, and the seed sown by the speeches will germinate and bear fruit ou the 20th of August. Capt. A. Ely the p. . aided at tho meeting, and introduced the speakers in the briefest style, so that uo time was lost on tho preliminaries. The bulk of the audiouce came from the lower section of the county, aud it is presumed the county campaigners had awakened a thirst for politics iu the oarlier part ot tbe week. Tho following is a sum mary of the speeches iu tho order they wore made: Ex Governor Evans told why ho is in tho race and donouncod McLaurin, who Is oringing at tho foot of a ltopuhlic.au President. He 1b not here to vindicate his course, as it does not need any vin dication. Every man has a right to offer himself for the suffrages of tho pooplo. He does not claim any right to bo elected because he foresaw tho Ropublcanlsm of the man who has misrerep aontod South Carolina during tho last term in tho United Statoa Sonato. The man who keeps his mouth shut and takos favors at tho hands of tho Republicans 1b sore to laud in that parly. Is the South wrong for maintaining its rights? Tho farmors of this* country sont abroad $797,000,000 in cotton, corn, whoat and othor produotB of tho soil, whilo manu facturers exported $121,000,000. This immense sum of farm products wont to pay tho manufacturers of tho North for tho clothing, shoes, hats, plows, farm implements, and there is not enough loft to buy chewing gam for tho baby. Tariff reform is the oiuy slogan for tho Domo cratic party, and under this banner it won the groatest victory and elected Us only President since Buchanan. Till- ! man has made a most accoptablo Sonator and the Rcpuhlicaus will givo him al moBt anything ho asks for. Thoy respect him and are afraid that he will icll all he knows about them. Ouo of his coiupoti tors (meaning Latimer) has been la a boom-proof fort tho past ton years, drawing a big aunual salary, aud tells tho pooplo " how bravo we aro aud what woudors wo poiformod." Mr. Evans mado his tariff reform speech, portray in?? tho woos of tho Southern cottou farmer. It la time for tho pcoplo to wako up, ho said, aud quit aoudlug corpora tion lawyers to tho United Htatea Senate and tho General Assembly. All this talk about turning looao tho Philippines is nonseusd, for tho Republican party has got them and is going to hold them. Tho same way with Cuha. Mr. Evans told of his oxperionco in the Ialand of Cuba, "where the aweet perfume of the tlowera minglea with tho disgusting smell of the Cuban uiggor." Tho only pure bloods there are Spaniards, who will not allow their childron to be born on the island for fear that they might be callod Cu bans. Under the hauner of tariff roform can the National Democratic party hope to gain victory? He is not hero to dls 'cnss purely acadomic questions, Buch as the ship subsidy achomo, atatlng that Mr. Morgan had anticipated the action of Congresa and bought up all tho im portant ateamahip lines. Ho spoke on tho Transportation Trust aud tho neces sity of stringent navigation lawn. In conclusion Mr. Evans beggod tho people, " Whon you come to choose a Senator to net up besido old Bon Till man, for tho Lord's sake don't yoke up a jackass with a thoroughbrod." Mr. Latimor told his audionco that this is but a repetition of what tho poo plo have had to listen to every time an election ernes round?candidates come and toll you all tho woes imaginable and ask election, and that onds it. He wants to bring ovory dollar possible into tho South. Ho is in favor of lowering tho taxes, but it is folly to attempt to change the tariff under Republican administra tion. The Wilson tariff law was onaoted by tho Democrats, but there was a deticit of $221,000,000 in the expenses of the govornmont during two years. The Dingloy tariff law was made by the Republicans, and thoro is no chance to change it by the votes of Soutborn Dom ocrata. Ho ia againat tho iniquities of the tariff, and ho haa pnrauod no coward ly policy in Congress. The man who Chargen it ia making a falao statement. Therefore he worka for practical results, trying to do something for his pooplo. Bo agrees with all the principles of his party on all national queationa and it is useless waste of time to discuss thorn bofore a Democratic audionco. Chooso a man to go to tho Senate who has a fixod purpose when ho goos there ; soo that he bringe home aoine tangiblo re suite and not stand up in Congroas and make apeeches which count for nothing. Mr. Latimor told of hia appropriations obtained and apoko in defence of hia seed, which he said had been character ized as being rotten. Ho claims to havo brought into this State $812,000 in the way of appropriations. He advocated bringing ovory Yankoo possible iuto the Slate and let them boo us aa wo aro. Tho bringing of Mr. Littlotloid down to the Charleston Exposition he regardod as his beat work whilo in Congreas, for out of Plumb. I When the wall la out of plumb the building is more or less unsafe, and the higher the wall is carried out of the per pendicular the greater the danger of col lapse.

Speeches in Congress can accomplish but little, bat we must have men with practical mothodB, who ?.an bring relief to tho Southern people. He had booh condemned for getting seeds aud appropriations. He answered thin by asking, " What did you pooplo get before we wont to Congress ?" If you did not get theso you would get I nothing and revenue accrues in tho troaF- I ury, and if it does not como South will go to other sections of tho Union. When ho went to Congress ho novor had been in ofllco, but he has dono some* thing for State and pooplo. Hemphill and Jobnstone never got anything for their State when they wore there. Mr. Latlmer claimed tho oredit for tho soil survoy now in progress in this Stato, all of which is in the interest of tho agri culturists. Lawyers aro not tho only ones who Can benefit US in Congress. They can make promises and lino speeches. " Are you going to turn out a farmer and put in one of these follows becauso ho can make a speech V" asked Mr. Latimor. Buncombe spceohos count for but little in Congress. Bring tho Yankoos down here and induco tnom to invest their money in our cotton factories and thus build up our waste places. Ho spoke with great confidence and said that all tho charges made against him wore absolutely false. Again ho told about tho Alliance and tho lawyers, and said that he had boon as truo and faithful to the Reform movement au any ono. Ho told of his ship subsidy speech and proved by tho Record lator on that although It had tho dato, May 21, 1002, printed on tho back, it was published in tho Congressional Record, May 31, 11)02, clearly a typographical error, and ho also provod that on May.27 ho attempted to make tho spcoch in tho Houso, but tifter speaking a fow minutes was "callod down," and obtained permission to have it printed. Mr. Latimor dually ucciarod that ho stood equaro on his record and defied any man to touch it. Mr. Henderson oxprossod tho opinion that from his observation in this canvass tho pcoplo are thinking as nover before. Carefully consider tho men who aro bo foro you, and givo each candidate a fair inspection. Next to tho President the Senator is the moBt important factor in tho government. Mr. Honderson al luded to tho campaign of 1870 whon he joined hands with tho up country in favoring a straightout policy that made Hampton tho leader of iho people to re deem South Carolina from mlsrulo and j ! corruption. Ho met tho men from Uub I section in tho constitutional convoution, which settled tho question of sulfrago aud put away factional ditVerenc.es by common consent. Not a word has he to say against Elliott aud Latimor bo cause thoy aro adepts in getting seeds and appropriations Tho Republicans will always gladly give those little crumbs so long as tho South believes that tho Republicans aro in power to stay aud are wiling to buy them up in this way. But there is something high er to strivo for in the battles at Wash ington. Mr. Henderson said tho distri bution of Bood and securing of appropri ations were of secondary importance in tho dntioB dovolving upon a Unitod States Sonator. Mr. Henderson told of expansion uu der Democratic and Hupublican admin istrations aud spoke at length on imperialism- " If our public men advise us to keop quiet aud not denounco Republicans what is to become of us V"' said Mr. Henderson. Mr Henderson made his usual speech on uuity and harmony and opposition to tho ens <unary metltods which havo characterized State primaries Ho spoke of the Cuban war and his sympathy aud endorsement of the government's action in wresting thu island from the hands of Spain and grautiug freedom and indo pondonco to tho Cubans, but ho was and is unwilling that tho Philippines should bo retained after the FilipiuoB havo paid ub back our monoy or havo made some satisfactory airangcmcnt. When thoy have dono that tho government should withdraw tho troops and turn tho island over to the natives. Liko Johustono and Evans, ho thinks the taiilT the greatest monaco to tho South, and that Democratic supremacy in 1U04 is onr only remedy. Mr. George Johnstono Baid that he well remembered thirty-seven years ago when as a soldier boy ho came to Greenville, aud ho had been hore ofton sinco with groat pleasure. He alluded to tho remark of Mr. Lathncr that ho (Johnstono) had dono nothing in Con gross during hia two years there. At Hurry Mr. Latiincr Baid he had coin o to tho rescue of Congressman Scarborough, who waa a now man there, and no man could do anything In his first term. The Christian courtesy oxtondod to a repre sentative of tho Pno Deo by tho honora ble gentleman ?from Bollon ho had donied to hin own predecessor in Con gress. Shall wo do nothing to change tho tariff policy of the government r Mr. Latimor Bays it will accomplish nothing, and yet he took time to proparo a speech on the subsidy bill, which was already killod by order of the Republicans. Why wasto his talent on a subject where he could not accomplish anything f His own proposition is negatived by his course in Congress. After his tariff argument, Col. John? stone spoke of tho unlawful combination of capital, thu outcome of tho tariff laws and the protection thrown around capi tal by tho Bopublican administration. He spoke of tho constitutional conven tion, where all factionalism was etern ally buried, and tho insertion of the suf frage clause,; whereby tho whito men can always honestly control the affairs of this State. The South In 1870 ovorthrow tho car pot-baggors' government, and declared to tho world that it was wrong and in iquitous. Just bo no man in the South can consistently uphold tho Bopublican policy in tho Philippines. With this introduction ho spoke, on imperialism, expansion and the tariff, touching lightly upon oaoh subject. Since tho election of Abraham Lin coln, which caused a war that made this continent shako with tho troad of armed mon in a great conflict, the Democratic party has won only two national vic tories, unless the election of Tilden la counted. Tho figures show that thu Domocrata represent a majority of the whito voters of tho country, and wo must pursuo an aggrcBsivo policy, not acting supinely in order to got a fow crumbs from tho table of tho Republi cans. South Carolina haft a taxablo property amounting to $1 ?0,000,000, aud wo aro Rponding more than that amount in the Philippines ovory yoar. Mr. Homphlll bogan by saying that if tho audlonoe was um much in sympathy with him as ho was with tho audionco, then tho bond of friendship between spoakor and hearors will be unanimous from this day forward. Homo aro In favor of soocls and some in favor of speeches, but ho thinks there aro norno things better than seed or speochos.

For sixty years the Democrats governed this country, and in I860 (hoy became dividod to suoh an oxteut that the Republicans came Into power for the first time. That is the condition of tho Democracy at the pres ent time, and in ordor to oust the He publicans the Democrats of all sections must unito togothor for victory. Mr. flemnhlll said he differed with others in thinking that a congressman's duty is ended when a few appropriations aro secured and a few measures are defeated. Tho Democrats aro entitled to have control of this government and thoro is no division in sentiment in be lieving that ono should be selected who can stand up and demand the enforce ment of Democratic principles. Mr. Hemphlll devoted much of his time discussing pensions, surprising his audionco with the statement that there Coughing " 1 was fjiven up to die with quick consumption. I then began to use Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. I improved at once, and am now in perfect health."?Chas. E. Hart man, Gibbstown, N. Y. It's too risky, playing with your cough.

The history of nations has proven that seldom or novor have the conquered colonies over been able to pay back the money expend ed, hence ho arguod that tho sooner this Philippine war of conquest is ended tho better it will be for the United States. Mr, Hemphlll made an interesting speech under adverse circumstances, but he held the sttontlon of the audience, and closod with his famous mother-lnj law joke, which Is about tho best in tho I roportolre of the Senatorial candidates Appeal to the I^adiea.
