Millikcn as saying that the differences between that gentleman and Mr. W. E. Lucas were "altogether personal." Mr. Milliken said the same thing in effect in an interview in the Charleston News and Courier. Therefore, inevitably it fol'ows that Mr. Milliken's proposition is to oust Mr. Lucas from Laurens Mills on account of personal disagreement and not on ac count of any disagreement as to the management of the mill. That is the attitude of Mr. Millikcn as declared by himself. There is in this nothing illegal but there is much that is dangerous. If mill stocks are to be bought and sold for the punishment of enemies, then they are a worthless investment. If such a policy is persisted in generally by capitalists demoralization of the industry will follow. There is no con fidence to be placed in industries whose managers have daggers at each others' throats. Everybody knows dissen sion is the shortest road to ruin. Already in this Laurens Mill trouble, serious dissatisfaction of the help has been manifested. Had Mr. Lucas been kicked out, it is said that the operatives would have resented the injustice to him by quitting work. If a strike had oc curred in Laurens Mills he would have been hurt more by it than any other single man for the reason that in pro portion to bis means he is perhaps the largest stock-holder. But he could not have stopped it. It seems that outside stock-holders unfamiliar with local conditions would be careful about taking so radical a step as luiying a mill president's job from under him, unless they are able to justify it before the public. One has a legal right to buy the control of a mill and dictate its policy, but it is a fact thai the exercise of a legal right may sometimes cause confusion and anarchy. Capital is proverbially timid. But capital may be indiscreet. The South Carolina mills have been singularly free from the dangers of labor agita tion. It would be strange if an agita tion should be caused by capitalists which would upset the peace of the tex tile industry in the South. But recent events prove that might not be impos sible. Let us hope that the mill ditliculties here in Laurens may be settled without the further indulgence of passion. We arc sure that no one in this com munity is the personal enemy of Mr. S. M. Milliken. He would be welcomed here to-day as he has always been wel comed. Nevertheless, the people of Laurens, city and county, will not con sent for the Laurens Cotton Mills to be used as a weapon to punish Mr. Milli ken's fancied enemies. The people of South Carolina are with the people of Laurens in this. Of course if Mr. Mil liken will sell bis stock or buy all the other stock, that would relieve the situ ation. As long as one single minority stock-holder, with one single share, in terested in the conduct of the mill on the most economical basis,the people of South Carolina will sustain him in the fight for two per cent commissions. * About Mr. Ogdcn. The News and Courier prints the fol lowing as coming from a "notable author and writer of New York:" "If you had heard Mr. Ogden intro duce a negro to a Northern audience or seen him put bis arms about this negro and walk through his strore hugging him before bis hundreds of clerks, you might have said something even more interesting about his fitness to be a teacher of the South. The South has a mission to teach the North and the world on the negro question. Mr. Og den is a negro worshipper pure and simple. His interest in the poor white man is merely a means to an end. I am not quite ready for an attack on this attempt to pauperize the educa tional system of the South in the inter est of negro equality, but I intend to do it bet?re long. Ogden's introduc tion of Booker T. Washington in Cooper Union last year was the most loathsome and disgusting worship of a negro I ever witnessed on this earth. Every time tin's negro comes to New York Ogden puts his arms around him and leads him through his store, exhib iting his worship to the five hundred women of the white race whom he em ploys. It's enough to make a dog sick when I think of such a man faring to teach the South, and see how many gudgeons gape ami bite at >he god bait." This is strong talk. In the North J'.re many men who are not opposed to so cial companionship with negroes and who are no1 yet wicked men. At. the same time, ii is unfo.lunate that a man who is at the head of an educational movement in the South should be a person of such feeling and sympathy as is described above. If the description be accurate, "a negro worshipper pure and simple," Mr. Ogden can be only an obstacle to the Conference for Educa tion; though it is also true that the lat ter is not dependent for vitality on Mr. Ogden or any individual. It would be well to know Mr. Ogden's private views about social equality with the negroes. There should be a plain understanding. When The News and Courier speaks of a "notable author and writer" it must mean a man of position -it must mean what it says. At the same time, "notnblc authors and writers" are of ten ignorant on many subjects, are of ten full of prejudice and sometimes full of malice. Nevertheless, if Mr. RobertC. Ogden is a "negro worshipper pure and sim ple" the sooner the Conference for Education in the South dumps him the better. "Negro worshippers" may be saints in the North. Sooner or later they always cause trouble in the South. "Deadfall" or ?Saar?." If there are any sanguine ones, we think that even they must have given up all hope that the rail roads have any notion of giving us a new passenger depot in a less dangerous locality. Since they will not do better, will they not at least nil in below that precipice ? made of timbers and make it an incline plane, so that it would be possible to drive off in the event of a general mix I up of frightened horses and vehicles. The rail road station has the appar-1 ence of a "deadfall" on one side of the depot and a "snare" on the other. ? Pickens has voted out the Dispensa ries. The country people as a rule are against dispensaries. The town'o peo ple favor them. In 1893 most of tho country people favored the Dispensary because Tillman favored it. Town people to the same degree opposed it. Country people are as a rule Prohibi tionists. Town people as a rule are not. Conditions in 1893 were unnatural. Now they arc natural. If the growth of cities continues at the present rate, in 25 or 50 years the town population in South Carolina will be greater than the moral population. Until then whiskey selling will for one or another reason be an up-hill business in South Carolina. The Dispensary ought to be voted out of Laurens for the good of the people in and out of town. The town people suffer most on account of the Dispen sary. Paul Jones at Annapolis. The Rivalry among the various cities that have been contending for the body of Paul Jones has been ended by the decision of President Roosevelt in favor of Annapolis, where the tomb of the greatest hero of our infant navy will he a source of inspiration to future gene rations of midshipmen. Rear-Admiral Sigsbee has been ordered to go to France for the body, with a squadron consisting of the flagship Brooklyn and the cruis ers Chattanooga, Tacoma and Galves ton. Admiral Sigsbee is to sail on June 20th, and the progress of his squadron will be an international event which will attract the attention of the whole world and forever silence those detrac tors who say that there must have been something shady in the career of Paul Jones or the American Government and people- would not have treated him with such persistent neglect.?Collier's Weekly.

Wainwright of Lemon city Fla.,has written the manufacturers that much better results are obtained from the use of Chamberlains Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy in cases of pains in the stomach, colic and cholora mor bus by taking it in water as hot as can be drank.

Serene, I fold my hands and wait; Nor care for wind, or tide, or sea; I rave no more 'gainst Time or Fate. For lo! my own shall come to me. I stay my haste, I make delays, For what avails this eager pace? I stand amid eternal ways, And what is mine shall know my face. Asleep, awake by night or day, The friends I seek are seeking me; No wind can drive my hark astray, Nor change the tide of destiny. What matter if I stand alone? I wait with joy the coming years; My heart shall reap where it hath sown, And garner up its fruit of tears. The waters know their own and draw I The brook that springs in yonder heights; So Hows the good and equal law Unto the soul of pure delights. Yon floweret nodding in the wind Is ready plighted to the bee; And, maiden, why that look unkind? For, lo, thy lover seeketh thee. The stars come nightly to the sky, The tidal wave unto the sea; No time, nor space, nor deep, nor high, Can keep my own away from me. John Burroughs. thk original town poet.

With twenty-five complaints; An' ! r.m here, in faith to say, He Sundayed with the saints.

As the pedestrian passed the deserted lot seven masked men sprang out and began to pummel him unmercifully. "Help! Help!" shouted the pedes trian. "What are you trying to do to me?" "Rob you!" retorted the leader of the wicked gang. "Thank heavon! I thought you wore going to give me a college initiation." ? Chicago News.
