The "Night Riders."
A bigger menace than the
boll weevil to the cotton producing
States is the advent of
the thousand-legged monster
that has for many months
terrorized Kentucky and Tenr.esisee,
defying the law and striking
at the very foundation of
civilization? the "Night-riders."
Already there are sporadic out
breaks and threatened out-rages
enoughto indicate that the trail of
the serpent, after devastating the
tobacco belt in the States where
the slimy monster originated, !
I
has extended itself into the fair!
fields of lleecy cotton, and unless
its onuard progress be arrested
we must face the prospect of a
j reign of terror that places the
? 1 1
law-abiding citizen at the mercy
of a band of reckless and law
defying midnight assassins. Such
a condition of society is horrible
to contemplate and strict watch
should be kept so that when the
scaly creature rears its noisome
head it may be crushed out of
existence.
Bp
We are gratified indeed to note
that the Farmers' Union in many
counties in South Carolina has
already put itself on record as
discrediting the methods of the

that this prompt action will
have a wholesome and salutary
influence in checking the spirit
of lawlesness that is inherent
among certain indivdnals in every
community, who would welcome
the opportunity to give expression
to their hatred for law and their
propensity for crime that is
repressed only by fear of legal
punishment. Stand to yonr gone,
friends of the Farmers Union and
law-biding people everywhere. No
community was ever helped or up
lifted by mob rule or a regime of
crime and lawlessness.
President Roosevelt has brought
Upon himself sharp criticism by
entering a controversy with Mr
Bryan concerning Governor Haskell,
until recently treasurer of
the Democratic national committee.
In this course of action
the president exceeded the bounds
of precedent and propriety and
even decency, it might be added.
Whatever the merits of the
controversy over Haskell it ill
beoomes the chief magistrate of
a great nation to engage in a
logomachy that in local politics
might justly be termed "mud
flinging.*'

Exhutning John L McLauno,

By the struggling moonbeam's misty

And the lantern dimly burning?
.Many a long summer uuu
ter have passed, but we remem-!
ber all about it just as though |
it were yesterday. Mr M-^Lan- j
nn, a bright, cheery, e1
young man, ran for the
tuie and was defeated-oh,
ago, though he is still youngish ,
and also very still. Then he
blossomed out as a 'Farmers
Movement man,'' and raked the'
decks of the Oligarchy,'' In lSl'd,
jas a bloomin' wool hat, he held!
the field, or the stump, for Till-j
man, even when Tillman (was it 1
in Kings tree?) rail away, and was j
elected as a wool-hat Attorney

of village banks and other bloodsucking
corporations in order for
the "move-MEXT." Then he was
elected to congress over an Alliance
candidate. Next, along !
with "Babe" Bailey and others,
he discovered "Commercial Democracy."
In 1897 be was appointed
United States senator,
and in the same year was elected
senator in a primary at which
one-half of the Democrats of the
State voted.
A little later the under-tow of
the Commercial Democracy dragged
him to the breakers of near
Republicanism. He changed his
vote, somersaulting gracefully on
the question of ratifying the
Philippines treaty. Aldricb, Elkins,

He sat on the knee, so to say,
of Mark HanDa. The gentle
President called him to his side
and offered him tidbits?a judgeship
in the far-away Philippines.
About that time there was a i
8light commotion in South Caro- '
lina. Those same wool-hats, and ;
with them the sometime hated ,
"An-tis" (accent on the "-tie," and ;
pronounced "tize,") suddenly or- i

And the subsequent proceedings
interested him no more.
The same is a true story of .
the rapid evolution from a wool- ^
hat to a near-Republican. Mr t
William Hearst could not have t
stumbled on a more striking and c
illuminating example to show that 8
the Democratic party wjH have j
none of the Standard Oil Repub- a
licanism. Mr McLaurin's alleged t
lelations with Archbold were not *
mspected, but his practical an- j
aexation by the HanDa-McKinlev
forces was known. His political a
ibsequies, by reason of the latter, n
ivere performed by the South n
Carolina Democracy with a celer- |

Mutual Dislike.
Brahms and Tschaikowsky, the
famous musicians, met but twice. ,
On the last occasion Brahms was
sufficiently interested in Tschai- J
kowsky's fifth symphony to travel
expressly to Hamburg in order to
make its acquaintance. After the i
performance the distinguished com- 1
posers dined together, and the conscientious
Brahms frankly admit- \
ted that he did not like the work i
at all, whereupon the usually meek '
Russian plucked up sufficient cour- J
age to inform his host that the dis- |
like of each other's music waa mutual.
They parted on excellent '
terms nevertheless. '

An Introduction.
"Long introductions when ti man ,
has a speech to make are a bore," 1
said former Senator John C. Spooner.
"I have had all kinds, but the
most satisfactory one in my career j
was that of a German mayor of a
small town in my state, Wisconsin.
[ waa to make a political address. 1
and the opera house was crowded.
When it came time to begin the ]
mayor got up. 'Mine friends,' he t
3?id, T haf ashed been to introduce c
Senator Spooner, who is to make a
speech, yes. Veil, I haf dit so, und i
be will now do so/ "
Satisfied With Her Work. ^
It was noticed that the woman
levoted many more hours to mirror 1
gazing than formerly. "I can't ^
ell," she said, with dreamy satisfac- q
ion, "how many times I have E
aught people, especially women,
napshotting me recently."
"I shouldn't be so puffed up about
t if I were you," said the brute of ,
man. "It wasn't your good loftks
hat attracted them. They were
aking pictures of your dresses, so ^
hey could copy the best points in
heir own clothes."
"In that case," said the woman
fter a moment's visible disappointment,
"I feel more highly complimented
than if they had photo- ^
Taphed me. Nature is responsible
or me, but I designed my clothes ?
irself." _
