We trust Senator MeLuurin will b bo cool ami collected in his v speachcs on the hustings, as he would e want to be, and pitch his speeches on g that high plane unknown to such men 11 as 1 rb\, Kvans, Duncan et al. From n the very lirst meeting ot the cam- f paign it is evident that Irby wishes h to drag the debate to the lowest depth ii possible, and attempt to excite Senator McLaurin and urou c his passion to such a pitch that wiil cause the loss of his head temporarily and " thereby gain some points to liis ad- u vantage. We advice Senator Me... ? Laurin against this. Let Irhy use n his epithets and abuse if he chooses. 0 We know it is hard for a born South r Carolinian to permit of abuse in his ^ hearing, tut it is noli sometimes f?r ^ one to do it. Therefore we would ^ say to Senator McLaurin if Irby eon- 1 tinues his course of abuse as inaugu- ' ated at Sumter. To treat him with 0 silent contempt, or if he eontinucs to 0 allude to it. do so in a mild mannered ' way, opoligetical, as it may seem, 0 and it will be a worthy crowning of 1 bis ambith n. Evans too wi'l come 1 fort I: next. lut lie can be silenced ina little while if rebates are mentioned. We wish every success to Sen- ^ ator MeLanrin and n?ay lie win his !l majority in the llrst race as Tint Timks expects hiia to do. 1 1 A VACANCY AT THE CITADEL. | I 11ion County is entitled to send ,, another beneficiary cadet to tlio j Citadel this "Fail. We hope that some worthy young man will win ] this up] ointim lit. Fome young man whose j nnnts are really too poor to ( semi him there, and one who las i el.aiaeter and Lackhonc enough to eatrv h:s part of the contract out with the s'ate when he completes his couiseat that institu'ion. A man f that fails to carry out his contract 1 with the State will fail to do so ' with individuals. The parents of a ] hov who send him t) the Citadel, as j a hcnelieiary, when he is not en- . litlcd to go, start him out in life < with a lio npon his lips, 'and are to 1 say the least of it, treating their 1 IVi'ow c'tizens tmfuiily. In our i judgment the straw that will possibly <. break the ( a in | heli's lack with the s citadel :< the sending of beneficiaries t there who are not entitled to go and 1 their failure to fulfil their part of 1 the contract, when they graduate, t The j ublie is gn w irg tired of this, t Tin* real friends of tlie institution i should mi* that no unworthy hoy, t or one that does not deserve the t position gets it. * t EDITORIAL* ETCHINGS.
