The State's criticising Mr. McLaurtn's! waa not reproduced In this and wa are therefore not called an to print Mr. MoLaurin'a reply. Mr. McLaertn'e and The State's differences are no concern f tale paper, espe? cially la new of the fact that the greater part of Mr. MoLaorin's lengthy artless la a rehash of partisan political Sttroverstes between Mr. McXaurin, . John Gary Bran* and The Ct> lasseia Mate, datin? back to Ute? tjjnsiU long years ago. These old po lorea have no bearing upon the of today and few people care what Mr. McLaurln.

For a talkative man Col. T. I loose vett has been remarkably silent since the Chicago fiasco. a ? o And for a silent statesman Judge Hughes had a good deal to say cn the epur of the moment when notified or tho nomnatlon, which ho declares he |Jmdn*t nought and didn't want Col. Roosevelt says ho Is out of pol itlce. Perhaps he will stay out since ha waa put out by the Republicans whan he waa not expecting it A few years ago he voluntarily announced that he waa out of politics and would never again be a candidate for Presi? dent, but he has been in politics ever since and haa been a chronic candi? date. He la so consistently inconsistent that one never knows what to expect of him. ? ? ? Lieut Qov. A. J. Bethen announces bis candidacy for re-election in a char? acteristic and unconsciously humor? ous pronunciamento. This phrase from his statement of beliefs and principles is delicto js, coming from an erstwhile Ford Peace-at-any-price Pilgrim: "A fresh and devoted loy? alty to the cause of Democracy under the militant and matchless leadership of Wood row Wilson.'* Can you beat It? ? e e Lieut Gov. Bethen also makes pub? lic the fact that "partial friends have urged me to offer for the high office of governor/' and that he haa turned a deaf ear to their importunities and thn seductive lure of vaulting ambl tlg*vv Vhhi announcement will doubt halm to the alarmed souls of Cooper, Bifeaoi. DesChamps and John T. Duncan, and aa welcome news to them aa waa John L. McLau rin's decision not to run for lieutenant governor to Mr. Bethen. a ? n The indications are that Col. Roosevelt will bluntly refuse to lead the forlorn hope of the Bull Moose ana will leave others to conduct the funeral of that ill-favored political beast aa they see fit and without his assistance. Col. Roosevelt Is above all a political opportunist and haa. no stomach for fhe role of star actor in a) farce. He played all his high cards before and during the Chicago con and when the Old Guard. Re? turned him down cold, not |ianting his eleventh, hour sug of Senator Lodge seriously, he that he waa a dead cock in the pit He hi down and out as political leader and prophet and In his present mood of dlsalluslonment and rancor will neither run himself nor help Hughea He is awake at mat to the fact that no considerable ?part of the American people regard him as the grsnbaot of all Americans^ the people refuse t* accept htm at h>. own estimate. The people ate in no. mood for mock heroic and the blatant type of.office coke-- repels instead of att *\ i?m. Wilson fills the pub Uc the politically wise of the old line republicans have picked Judge Hughes as the nearest approach to the Wilson type of man that they liad In the party. Hughea is an able man, clean, safe, conservative and with no record or entanglements with? in recent years to embarrass him. He is a high protectionist and will stand with the Interests, financial and otherwise, that have controlled the policies of the Republican party. His managers will have no trouble in rais? ing all the funds needed to finance the casfcrjphjn. He *? not tne ,ort ?' man the j.snail would have selected If they had the country by the neck as they had when Mark Hanna waa In his prmea, hut he la the strongsst candi? date they could have selected to op? pose Wilson, for he Is one of the ablest and most respected men In the Republican party. The Wilson ad? ministration has forced the Republican be?ae to offer the best they eould find in oppostton to Wilson. Darlington Horse Show on July 4th.

Three hundred feet of trestle work went down with the wreck, since which time trains to and from Augusta have been detouring via Denmark over the Southern Railway. Capt. Gilbert and his flagman, Easterling, were both badly shook up, but other than minor bruises they were able with the engineer to con? tinue their trip with the remander of the traln on Into Florence, their destination. The train was made up of engine 37 cars.and the caboose. The last 11 cars and caboose were piled up in wreckage down in the trestle, and it la miraculous that the conductor and flagman were not killed outright The wrecking trains of the Coast Line at Florence, and that of the Charleston and Western Carolina, at Augusta, were hurried to the scene of the wreck and are there now .at work clearing away the debris, while the trestle forces available are rebuilding the trestle, which will take at least until noon Saturday tp get in readiness for the resump? tion Of traffic.
