tillman and mclaurin.
Ex-Senator John L. McLaurin means
to be a candidate for United States
Senator against Senator Tillman next
year. We look upon this as certain.
Whether or not Mr. McLaurin will re
main of this mind is another proposi
tion. His courage may ooze from his
finger tips as the time approaches. One
cannot guess what will befall. If Mr.
McLaurin enters the race it will place
upon Senator Tillman much annoyance.
Senator Tillman is not so fond of pranc
ing over the State as he formerly was.
He is by no means so gay and frolic
some at 57 as he was at 42. "I've got
a brass throat!" he shouted in the
midst of a speech in Newberry in 1894
and the clangor of the word3 carried j
conviction of their truth. But the Sena- J
tor's throat is said not tobe so fiercely
Btrong now. Campaigning in July
weather and in August is a severe
straining of an elderly man's powers.
In 1897 Mr. McLaurin collapsed at
Yorkville before the campaign ended.
Mr. McLaurin advises that the Dis
pensary be voted out, county by
county, ?as it is being voted out. Sena
tor Tillman declares that the Dispen
sary must stand or fall in a state elec- j
tion next fall. Here the issue is fully
joined. There can be no backing from
this.
Mr. McLaurin haa chosen his ground.
He is a prohibitionist with no adject
ives to qualify and with no conditions
to limit. Senator Tillman on the other
hand occupies a shifting position. He
promises to defend the dispensary in
some circumstances if the Legislature
will clean it out. Otherwise he will ad
vocate State prohibition. As the latter
will be a travesty in counties where
public sentiment does not favor it, it
seems that Senator Tillman will in no
case be a real friend to the Prohibition
cause though he may give it nominal
adhesion.
While Senator Tillman is far more
popular than Mr. McLaurin the latter
undoubtedly has the advantage of posi
tion.
*
AS TO PROHIBITION.
If the people of Laurens desire pro
hibition we hope they will vote for it
and get it. If they vote prohibition
and earnestly wish what they vote for,
they will enforce it. Prohibition pro
hibits in Marlboro county because the
people of Marlboro are merciless in
their treatment of "blind tigers." The
"Tigers" are watched, they are ar
rested and they are punished severely.
Although Marlboro is a border county,
the law is observed.
Unless the Laurens prohibitionists
mean to pursue the tigers relentlessly,
year in and year out, they had best be
ware of voting a prohibition system in
to existence to be brought into ill re
pute through lax administration. Pro
hibition and free liquor would work a
vast deal of evil not only to our own
citizens but to the whole State.
In Cherokee County it seems that the
Prohibition sentiment was so strong
and so general that little difficulty has
attended the enforcement of the law.
It seems to be fully established that
considerable improvement in the morals
of the county is manifest in Cherokee
though the dispensaries were voted out
only nine months ago. State Senator
Thomas Bothwell Butler avers that
crime is less frequent and that drunk
enness in Cherokee has decreased to a
marked degree.
Half a dozen earnest and determined
and persevering prohibitionists could
make Laurens too warm for "blind ti
gers" to inhabit but a thousand listless
and idle persons who will vote Prohibi
tion and then go to sleep will accom
plish nothing. If "blind tigers" are
not molested they will increase and
multiply. But an active and alert sher
iff, such as Capt. Duckctt, backed by a
few good men can enforce prohibition
or any other good law in Laurens
county.
new YORK SHOULD LYNCH.
A few days ago it transpired in New
York that several society women had
paid from $2,500 to $10,000 for copies
of a book published from the office of
a disreputable weekly Journal in that
town. In reality the money was ex
torted from these rich women under
threat of slanderous publications about
them in this journal.
This could not happen in the barbar
ous and benighted South. The editor of
a Journal which spoke of a respectable
woman in other than polite terms would
be quietly and decently but quickly
lynched in the usual manner and form.
He would be tarred and feathered and
otherwise duly prepared for the function.
The reporters, printers and the news
dealers selling the sheet would also
he lynched though with less eclat.?
Then the printing office would be
promptly burned.
These sundry performances would be
described by the New York newspa
pers as "anarchy." It is very wrong
to uphold lynching. The blackmailing
schemes of disreputable newspapers
could be frustrated in the South with
out resort to lynching but if a newspa
per should venture to lightly handle a
woman's good name in this region our
people would not take time to consider
the modern, improved and cunningly de
vised methods of redress. Lynching is
easy, simple and effective.
In New York they have a reasonable
and acute horror of lynching and they
are full of kindly pity for the South
groping in ignorance and gloom.
A woman's reputation may be blasted
by a public journal in New York and
nobodv protests. In South Carolina a
woman receives protection.
In plain English, while lynching is
never justifiable the lynching system is
[ distinctly better than the New York
system.
As between the license of newspa
pers to slander women and lynching,
lynching is the lesser evil. Neither is
permissible but New York would do
well to lynch with freedom and fre
quency until her people are fitted for a
purer civilization. ^

LAUGH AND GROW PAT.
AND THEN HE WAKED UP!
An Ozark country editor has found
three new wild animals in the moun
tains of South Missouri that heretofore
had been overlooked by naturalists.
One of them is the Oogly Woo, a six
legged animal, with a sharp, stiff tail,
and when pursued and cornered it
stands on its tail, and whirling rapidly
around, bores a hole in the ground, into
which it disappears. Another is a
Sackabore?it has four legs, two long
ones on one side and two short ones on
the other. It will run rapidly around a
mountain with its four feet always
touching, and can only be captured by
being turned in an opposite direction,
when its short legs will not reach the
ground. The third is the one-eyed
screeching Boo-Boo. When pursued it
will turn on its enemies, and with a
mighty gulp swallow itself.? Harrison

ACHIEVEMENT.
A thing of beauty and a joy
Forever is a certain Nancy;
How she can fail to charm a boy
I can't see.
Incomparably sweet her air,
Her years just trembling over twenty,
With wit and tenderness to spare
A plenty.
Too human far to be a saint, ?
No saint could do things quite so band
some!
My! she can sketch and golf and sing
And dance some.
Her heart, which some say can't bc|
won,
Is quite in keeping with her beauty.
(It's in my keeping. This is on
The Q. T.)
And is the future gaily hued?
Am I an optimist? Well, rather.
Last night I utterly subdued
Her father.
? From Leslie's Weekly.
HER IDEA OK IT.
Taragon: "The Russians have great
faith in the bayonet, the Japs in tin
sword. Which arm do you prefer?"
Miss Imple (absent-minded): "Both!"
? Woman's Home Companion.
A DEMONSTRATION.
Judge: "What did the prisoner do to
you?"
Witness: "He bit me wid a pavin'
block, Yer 'Onner, as I was walkin' on
the track."
Judge: "What excuse did he give?"
Witness: "Said he was testin' the
block signals and was givin' the dan
ger sign." ? Cincinnati Commercial
Tribune.
A MATTER OF STRIPES.
A small boy from the North who
was visiting a relative in one of the
Southern States where convict labor is [
employed in public improvements be- (
came very interested in the men and1
their black and striped clothes. One
day he went to a circus and for the
first time in his life saw a zebra.
"Oh, auntie," he cried, "look at the
convict mule!" ?Lippincott's Magazine.
HER FEAR.
He: "Clarice, you know I have al
ways thought a great deal of you, and !
I have flattered myself you think not j
unfavorably of me. May I- will you be '
my wife?"
She: "What a start you gave me,
Harry! Do you know, I thought you
were going to ask me to lend you some
money."?Tit-Bits.
THE UNIVERSAL DISSOI.VF.NT.
"Will alcohol dissolve sugar?"
"It will," replied Old Soak: "it will
dissolve gold and brick houses, and
horses, and happiness and love and
everything else worth having." ?

Dewey of Agnewville, Va., was se
riously ill of cholera infantum last sum
mer. "We gave her up and did not ex
pect her to live from one hour to an
other," he says. "I happened to think
of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy and got a bottle of
it from the store. In five hours 1 saw
a change for the better. We kept on
giving it and before she had taken the
half of one small bottle she was well."

Pompeian
Massage
Cream
Cleanses Where Soap
and Water Fail
Washing with soap and water
makes the face look clean, but it
cleans the surface only. It does
not clean out the impurities in
the skin that make it muddy and
sallow.
Pompeian Massage Cream goes
through the surface. It sinks
into every pore?reaches and
loosens all foreign dirt and impu
rities that lodge in the pores.
It is the only facial cream free
from grease and that keeps the
face free from it. Docb not?
cannot--promote the growth of
hair on the face.
