MR. McLAURIN'S MISTAKE.
Mr. John L. McLaurin may
think he did something smart
when he slandered South Caro
lina in his eulogy upon the late
Congressman E. T. Stackhouse,
which he delivered in Congress
recently, but right-thinking
people will differ form him. The
South Carolina that he abused
and the people and institutions
that he villified, the true sons
of the Palmetto State have been
taught to revere. We have
heard of other native Southern
ers having been unceremonious
ly banished from political pre
ferment by our people for such
untrue and unpatriotic utteran
ces and, if Mr. McLaurin would
be wise, he should profit by
their fate. Our State’s history
and our State’s heroes are sa
cred and thetrueCarolinian will
not long submit to having them
dragged in the mud.
The speech was Mr. McLau
rin’s'maiden'effort in Congress
and we can not believe it made
a favorable impression on his
fellow members. His remarks,
besides being untrue, were in
very bad taste. The occasion
of memorial services is not one
for the introduction of bitter
partisanship. It is an occasion
for eulogy upon the dead—a
time when the living, torget-
ting the differences, the jealous
ies and the struggles of this
world, pay the last mark of re
spect to the memory of him who
has gone to another. It is an
occasion that should be one of
common sorrow, when men are
united in the presence of Death.
The introduction of ill feeling
and spleen mars the harmony of
the solemn and impressive ser
vice Nothing could be in worse
taste.

the State authorities exceed the
amounts paid.
A PUBLIC BENEFACTOR.
Why the Eastern B. & L. is In High
Favor With the People.
The six column article on
the first page, consisting of en
dorsements from cities and
prominent people of Virginia,
North and South Carolina, re
garding the high standard, re
liability and money loaning ca
pacity of the Eastern Building
and Loan Association, of Syra
cuse, N. Y., is the strongest re
commendation that could be
conceived, because it shows
that both the borrower and in
vestor are satisfied. All of the
promises of this Association
nave been fulfilled and this is
more than can be said about
most of the associations that
have done business in these
parts. The Eastern is very
highly respected in Darlington
because it has loaned here
over 150,000 in the building of
twenty-five stores and houses
and is still constantly loaning
money. It has disappointed no
one, every application fora loan
being promptly supplied. It
guarantees the investor 21 per
cent profit per annum, while
the borrower gets his money for
6} years at 5 9-10 interest per
annum. Every city and town
ought to have the Eastern in its
midst to provide it with money
and upbuild it and to serve as a
savings bank for those who
wish to save their money.
THE MORMON SERVICE.
A Large but Unsympathetic Crowd At

Elders Richard Parker, and

A large crowd, with colored
people in the majority, listened
to the doctrines they set forth.
The audience was in little sym
pathy with the speakers or their
doctrines, curiousity being the
uppermost motive for the pres
ence of nearly every member of
the crowd. Good order prevail
ed and the Elders were allowed
to proceed with their service
without interruption. After
the service they distributed
Mormon literature in thecrowd.

ces of Laudanum.
[Florence Messenger Feb 4 ]
Mrs. W. E. Jordan, wife of
the gunsmith on Dargan street,
died yesterday morning at 10
o’clock from an overdose of
laudanum. The particulars re-
, garding her death are as fol
lows :
On Wednesday evening about
7 o’clock, the deceased, accom
panied by her husband, left
their home, which is situated
across the railroad in front of
the Gamble Hotel, for the purl
pose of visitingafriend. When
they reached the railroad cross
ing below the Florence Iron
Works, Mrs. Jordan stepped
into the woods near the road,
and there swallowed the con
tents of a three-ounce bottle of
laudanum. On joining her hus
band she informed him what
she had done, and he immediate
ly went in search of medical aid.
On his return, and with th» as
sistance of Mr. W. T. Davis, the
unfortunate woman was remov
ed to her home, where she died
at 10 o’clock yesterday morn
ing.
Dr. L. Y. King was the phy
sician in attendance upon Mrs.
Jordan, and did all in his power
to save her, but his efforts were
of no avail.
