. Cl;? Mattara at? jSoutJiron. The Sumter Wate timan was loucdcG o 1850 sud the 2VK? Southron io 18o?. The JFa?cAsw*? anc? Southron now has the combined circulation and influence of both of the old papers, and is mani? festly the best advertising medium in ? Sumter. The report that Armour has decided to build a large fertiliser faotory ic j Charleston ?9 important, ii true, for he has ail the "capital needed to fight the { fertilizer trust and as long a? there is j competition the farmers will not be j forced to pay exorbitant prices. Thc Washington correspondent of j the N?ws and Courier is authority for the statement that Senator MeLacrin may resign his seat and accept aa appointment from the President as a member of the reconstructed Philippine comcnissioo The appointment woola probably be quite popular io South Carolina. Senator McLaurin's friends would be pleased for bim to obtain che job and those who do noe bold with the McKinley manifest destin^ and benevolent assimilation cant would he more than pleased to have the State well rid of our junior senator. If President McKinley will only make the appointment he will famish the solu? tion of a diScnlt political problem, and at the same time make room for one of j the many c5ce seeking politicians in this State who have senatorial ambi? tions. We do not understand the motives cf the members of the Legislature who are fighting the wide-tire bill, and if their speeches contain ali the argument they j can advance against wide-tires, we are fores? to coooludo that they are rather haz? CD the subiect themselves. There are hundred?, if cot several thousand, wide tire wagons now ic use in the j State and the severest tests OD ali sorts of roads have convinced the owners of these wagons and ail others who have seen them in every cay use that wide ;ires do not cut the roads as the narrow j tires do, that t'r^ey are lighter on stock j and that wagons last longer when j equipped with wide-tires. The Maul-' din bill will cot work hardship to dealers who new have a stock of j carrew tire wagons cn hand j nor will it work hardship to j these who now own and are using nar- j row tire wagons. The bill is a good one, and it should be enacted as it stands without amendment ; it should be a general law, and the effort to exempt cerraia counties is altogether wrong and unwise. ? - This is the best year yet for the j farmers to plant lots of norn, make ali j the provisions they need and plant cotton as a surplus crop ooly. xl small or i<iediuc3 cotroa crop will injure eight ! sent cortos this fall buta twelve militen bate crop will ruo tbe price down to j ?7? cents again. The cotton farmers BOW have absolute control of tbe situa j tieri aiid it cepecds cpyn then) abne to j Ss :be price of the orcp of 1900. The Southern Presbyterian, pub Hshed by J F & W S. Jacobs, j Clinton, S. C , cernes out in its issac ? of Feb 8ta with a fuil account of the ? progiess and development of the j llotiif* Missions movement in the Synod cf South Carolina, accompa- j nied with iliu^tratiuns presenting j ^ 1 nsw church buildings erected ?u i mission fields The most important j featn?e of the issue is a map of the j synod of South Carolina, the first of th^ kind ever published, ebowiogj cooaty ano Presbyterial lines and; locations of the churches. The j churches are numbered to correspond j with a key :i?g their names The j number contains 2^ p^ges neatly j printed an.1 ornamented with an ar- ? tistic scro? cover containing an en ! grav :?g of Dr Sprent of Rock Hill, j the cha rm3n of the Home Missions comrnitte ol the synod. j The tumored resignation of Senator McL^urin to accept the place on the Philippine commission, has stirred uo the politicals and office seekers to n fever beat, and reports from Columbia indicate that more interest now centeis in the Senatorial succes? sion than in legislative matters The resignation of Senator McLaurin has not yet materialized, but aircady there are numerous avowed candi? dates ic the field and others are said to be stripping for the race. The avowed candidates who are now at work are Attorney General Bellinger, Lieut Gov Scarborough, Senator D. j S Henderson. Judge O. W Bo ! an and Representative W. F Si i sou. Besides these Gov McSwe I Speaker Gary, Co) Willie Jone? Representative George E Priuc said to be ready for the lightnir strike them The situation i interesting one politically and the resignation is actually place Gov McSweeney's bands, the ir, is the merest guess work If Se Mclaurin resigns before the Le< ture adjourns the election wi! thrown into that body and scramble be wildly exciting tc participants; ifihe resignation not reach Gov McSweeney until L?gislature bas adjourned he have to appoint 60ine one to fill place untii the next Legish meets. There is said to be not of a definite nature known a Senator McLaurin's intentions, there is no doubt about the anziet many prominent politicians to euc; him, and there would be great jo; macy quarters if he should re; immediately. We have no favc in the rough and tumble scrambh the piace, but we would not be o come with regret if Senator McLa should vacate his position with the 1 possible delay for in our opinion would fill a place on the Philip^ commission with a better grace t he does the post of representative the democracy cf South Carolina. William Jennings Bryan has cepted the invitation of the Legi ture to visit Columbia on Thursd A large crowd will ?o over to 1 lombia to hear him speak if the p gramme is arranged so as to peri them tb hear the speech and reti on the afternoon tr?in The n roads should run a special train accommodate tbe public ; in tl instance it would be a real accomc dation and profitable to the railroi at the same time.

Oscar S Strauss, United States min i ister to Turkey He bas been pre? ferred for this high place by both of the great political parties in this j country, and has discbaiged his duty j with au ability and fidelity which have commanded the applause o? all j ! his fellow countrymen, and excited ! i the admiration o? those who are most I skilled io the ait of diplomacy, j When Mr Straus was selected for this honorable service by President Cleve* J land iii LSS7, the Rev Henry Word Beecher recommended his appoint ment in the warmest and most elo? quent terms, as follows : "It ?6 because he is a Jew that I would urge his appointment as a fit recognition of this ?emarkabie peo? ple, who are becoming large contrib utors to American prosperity, and whose intelligence, morality and large liberality in ail public measures for the welfare of society deserve and 6houid receive from the hands of the government some such recogni? tion. Is it not also a duty to set forth in ibis quiet but effectual meth? od the genius of American govern? ment, which has under its fostering care people of all civilized nations, and which treats them without regard to civil or religious race peculiarities ae common citizens ? We send Danes to Denmark, Germans to Ger many ; we reject no man because he is a Frenchman. Why should we nut make a crowning testimony to the genius of our people by sending a Hebrew to Turkey ? The ignor? ance and superstition of mediaeval Europe may account for the preju dices of that dark age. But how a Christain in our days can turn from a Jew I cannot imagine. Christianity itself suckled at the bosom of Judaism ; our roots are in the old Testament We are Jews ourselves gone to blossom and fruit, Christianity is Judaism in evolution, and it would seem strange for the seed to turn against the stock on which it was grown " What the pastor of Plymouth Church said so happily of Mr Straus j might also be said in effect of ail j Jews Character, capacity, fidelity a.e the tests which ought to be re q uired of those appointed to offices of public trust, whatever the aativiiy, race or religion of those selected for such service We take no stock whatever in the proscription of the Jews. They ought to be judged pre cisely as other men are judged, and it is a reproach to Christaiuity that in Christaiu countries the people of this dispersed race are treated with so great severity and injustice lt is something o? which the Anglo Saxon race may weli be proud that in England and the United States the Jews have not been proscribed be? cause of their race or religion.-News and Courier. - . ?? ? .

One of the Very Finest. Tho Atlantic Coast Line's Florida So^elal. i C?^firleatos Nervei nod Courier, Jan. li, 1300 It ia nov? severai years since the j I Atlantic Coast Line, working in con j nection with the Plant system, began j I operating a epecial tourist train be I ! tween New York, Charleston and ! j Florida, and as tho railroads kept j j pace with improved methods and tue i : fastidious traveller th<> trains each j . year bf-came more complete and j ! handsome, and the schedules quicker, j I This year it seems as though the j . high water mark mu^t have been \ very nearly reached, for it is hard io imagine a more speedy trip than thar j which wiil be offered southbound ! passengers on and after Tuesday, j Jan 10, and also a mora comfortable and luxurious train is well nigh im- ! possible to pian The trf-in is com ? ! posed entirely of Paiiraan cars, made j ! for this particular service and vesti ! ! buied. so that passengers pass freeiy j 1 from one car to another, regardless i j of the speed at which they are j j travelling and unaffected by wind or j j weather Each car ie a model of its j j kind, one a dining car, where the ? ! traveller partakes of his meais at hours which suit his convenience and where deft waiters serve the most tempting of dishes, prepared j while flying aiong the steel road? way by a competent chef The end of the train is always occupier! by the "observation car,1' so uniquely arranged as to give a view almost unobstructed of the scenery aiong the line of the road A draw j ir.o; room car and a library and smok ! ing room are among the ad van t ! ages of this movable hotel, for it is j more like the first class hotel, with every convenience and comfort, than i j anything else. But the number of j guests is limited strictly to the cum ! ber of berth accoraodalions in the magnificently appointed "sleepers," ! and there is no fear of finding a favorite window se3t occupied by a ' match and tooth pick" customer and always a seat in the dining room.
