Vr.halla, August 29 -Today, in one of the quaintest and Iost an cient old Court Houses in the State, the three remaining members of the faculty of the Sate political summer school conducted the last session but one of the school. Their voices, raised against "coin nercialism," lhaped across the cemetery nearby, struck the stone wall of the Blue Ridge about a mile away, to be sent rolling from mountain to seashore through the medium of the press. Honest, sturdy mountaineers of in telligence were the pupils today. The excessive rains had made the roads leading to Walhalla diflicult of passage, but the farmers were here in force. The speakers had driven over from Seneca and their clothing indicated mud-slinging, de. spite the understanding that there was to be none. The crowd was a good one, but not so large as at other places. It was orderly and atten tive throughout. The people were expecting McLaurin to be here, as it had not been stated that he would not be here. The meeting was pre aided over by Senator Alexander, who called on the Rev. Mr. Mc (uire, who offered an earnest prayor. Senator Alexander introduced COL. (IEoiE JOlINS'oNEF. as the ir-4t spl ak r. Col. J.nlstone opened with a fooling r,+ference to the past, telling e.f the pleasnre he had exaeriened often in coming be fore themw. lie then drifted into the discussion of the issues in a strong and forvible manner, presenting the views expressed elsewhere. Not so long ag) t he State had only the ag ricultural industry to rely upon. It was important, therefore, to develop industrial enterprises. He depicted the conditions thirty years ago and said that now South Carolina is the foremost industrial State. The so called new oropositions are as old as monarchy itself; as the rule of the privileged clises. Our policies are only as old as this splendid republic. Whence did these propositions come? He impugned no man, but the truth [miust always be. told. Many were honestly entertaining these new ideas. Honest error could only be combated by exposing. And that was what he was here to doI. He went over the mnanner in which he had ariied at his own concelusionus, as biereutofore presenitedl, andu declared t hat the new ideas were t hose of Alexander 1Ham alton and tihe party of cent ralization. Hie proceeded to go over his usual argument as to expansion, exp)lain-. ing the expansion of thme demnocratic party under Jefferson's doctrines, and showing that the other party had dune nothing to add to legiti mate victory. Then he pointed out at length the vast differences be. tween democratic expansion andi re publican imperialism, reciting the conditions existing in Cuba and the Philippines. The expansion the re publican party is talking about is the imperialism that exists in the mnon archies of t.he present (day. He asked his hearers to burn this through into their heads. He made his usual il lustration of the Saiviour leading an invading army, addressing himself to the minister present. In case of trouble with Russia about an open market the Filipinos would use our tariff against us. Who ever heard of establishing trade by making shrouds? Shrouds are all you can sell them now. Peace is the only true basis of trade. We have spent $300,000) already to establish trade withI the Phlilippines and it will cost us from $40,000 to $60,0)00 a year, and our trade with them so far is only $70,000 a year. He devoted the last ten minutes of his time to his usual argumentss on the ship subsidy problem and concluded his speech with the stories usRed yester day s-u successfully in Greenville. coN(GREss5MAN L~ATIMEal opened with a little local matter he w ...nvunn utnuCI, U110 rurctc ziiai delivory system. lio did not claim to originate the plan, but he had pushed the idea in congress, and now the government was paying three million dollars. He had boon asked to withdraw his proposition to pro vide an appropriation. Io told how ho had gotten it. The postmaster general had wanted his (Latimner's) son to lay out and take charge of the work in this district. le had tried to got old soldiers provided with this job, but they were ruled out on account of ago. John L. McLaurin and his backers, who were running over the State selling out for post oflices, are delaying the people in getting their rights and the rural delivery in the district. It would, come in October. This man Mo. Laurin was standing in the way, try ing to get his heolers to whoop and howl for him and help him to got back to the senate, men to help him who are paid by Mark 1-anna's money. This man tells you to go back on all your country ever stood for. This man stood by Wn. Mc Kinley and he stands by the repub lican party, and that party turns over to him the patronage here. le then repeated the history of the jumping-jack political record of Mc Laurin. This is not the first time he has proved traitor. He put his little battery on Paris Mountain and h,d been firing through that little r-'pu)licnn sheet, the Greenville Ne-ve. Whien they had started in after him be ran away to the exposi tion, instead of staying here and facing the music. He was like the fellow who said: "John, this hotel is leaking, let's find another." (Laugh ter.) "He's hunting another now. There are three classes of people supporting MoLaurin, the pap suck ers pure and simple, a few cotton mill presidents who voted for Win. McKinley, and the disappointed fel lows who were in the reform muve ment and are soreheads." Congress man Latimer then went over his speech elsewhere as to the New Eng land plan of robbery and said it was strange that any man could t hink he could lead the people of the South into it. McLaurin is not big enough to organize a relublican party in a single township. He then proceeded to discuss "this foreign policy busi ness." He repeated what he said at Spartanburg and Greenville, about the cotton mills. Ho was opposed to special privileges to any class of men. le dealt at some length with the favored nation clause in connection with the Ph iipnpinies arnd referred t.o onr enormous lepouse mn holding thme Philppina's bmy mid itary power. Mc Launrin i-aid, wvith Larry Gantt re peitting it, that if you add one inch to the shirt tails of the Chines~e they will nse all the cotton goods we can make. The only way to get into China is under treaty and we can get no adlvantage there because of the favored nation clause. The only way to get the trade of China is to make the kind of goods they want and send agents there. Why is not McLauirin here to tell you of any other way ' HIe had found out that they could (10 without the alliance dlemandls and yet prosper, because this country is too big. There was nothing in the New Testament teach ing that Americans should go to the Philippines and Christianize the people. If it's right, why not he called to Christianizo China? Ex pansion should be peaceable and business like. He dlevoted the last twenty min utes of his speech to the views on the sbip subsidy. Hm held that the subsidy would build up the Eastern ports to the destruction of the South ern ports. A grand monopoly would be formed. T1his was a Republican measure of the rottenness kind and John L. McLaurin hiad voted for it. The author of the commercial do mocracy knows there's nothing in it. He is posted well, but he lacks com mon sense. He can write good ar; ticles to the executive committee and be don't mind telling falsehoods either. (Applause.) He had the the opportunity to face us now and he has not done it. Mr. Latimer closed with annlan8e. ION. J. J. IIEMI'IIIJL said the people here had always been solidly democratic, but there were now issues now to worry them until explained. He told of the natural expansion of a child and contrasted it with that of a man suffering from iiropsy. TI'he unnatural expansion would sap valuable life--so it was with the "expansion" of which you now hear. The Philippines woro so hot that you have to lap your lions on cracked ice to keep them from laying boiled eggs. Mr. Hemphill then entored into a plain, clear .nd forcible argument against the gov orunment's policy of imperialism. if this is followed we must shoot Fili pinos eternally. Let the Filipinos live im their homes with their fami. lies and with their liberty. If we are to keep these islands we have to shoot the people or koep a great army there indefinitely. You must pay for this army in an over flowing stroam of ;money. He told, too, of the pensions, explaining the system. le dealt for a while with the trade side of the Philippine question. His arguments were the same as at Union, several good stories being given by way of illustration. No greater humbug than this imperial. ism idea was ever concocted in the world, he said. \Vhen a iman begins to shako off principles and take on Others it is pretty safe to say that he has no principle himself. It is doubt ful if any nation ever made a dollar by colonization. He quoted striking figures us to England and said that. moreover the old countries are so densely populated that their people have to seek homes in other countries, while we have only twenty-five peo ple to the square mile. We need population. The proposition of the republicans was a very different thing-we will have additional race troubles. Great Britain had had the Philippines once, but she sold out for less than we paid and sailed away. He then devoted his attention to the ship subsidy, using the arguments previously published. In the course of his remarks he said faith was the faculty which made a man believe what he knew was riot so. He con cluded with some jokes, and anec dotes. The audience today was one of the most patient and undemonstrative of this preliminary campaign. Those present listened most attentively to the arguments, lbut it was only once or twice that there was any attempt at real campaign applause. Each speaker was well received, particu larly when he told a pointed joke. MCr. Hemphmill's "Brot,ber Ben" story made a great hit. T1he attack of Mr. Laitimner on McLaurin took wvell. The1~ meeting ;was a calm discussion of the issues and the people absorbed the thoughts presented to them. The Blue Ridge road officials held the train a short time for the faculty and at 3 o'clock all departed for the farewvell meeting at Anderson to. morrow, wherel,there will probably be less rain and mud, and more peo. pie, applause and heat.

Anderson, JAugust 30.-- It was the uneXpocted that hatppnllod today. The off year camnpaigin has b1(een jog. ging alori with utoro or less inlteret. Every one sOomlltd to hit wait inrg and watching to seo what Mel'l7murin would say and do. The l'tter of Senator McLaurin to ChairmlanL Aus tin of Greenvillo indicated that Stn ator Mcbaurin did not oxpoct to at ttld aly of the ofl year camnpaig}n meotings. This mlornilg it was for the first time suggesto(d that Soiti or McLautrin would b(se hor( andi would spetk. It Ietsmd to ho absolit1Iy unexpected, and rmost poplo did riot believo it. When Congressian bat irner hla(1 about concluded his argu mont it noto was handed Chairim Broazoalo to the eff'ect, that Senartor McLaurint would arrive her abt)out 1:30 at.d so, after a conference, it was decided to a(dj'iurn t he mroet ing until after the arrival of Senator Mc Laurin and to reserve the rormarrin ing speaker, Col. George Johnstont (, to reply to him. Congresiuiai Lat imer and Mir. IHomphill did inot have the opportunities of the afternoon session, which was full of enthusi asmn and lire. They had to dae without a band of music. But when Senator IMcaurin eanm o and Col. Johnstono soon supplied the Ilrsiing enthusiasm. Mr. Inmnphill made a strong speech, as he always seems to. It was a talk to the people, aill not above them, upon the pending issues and after his talk h,o was n1ost heart ily congratulated on all sides. This has alway a boon a st rong bat i mer county and he still seems to hold sway here. Thoro was no quest ion ab_ut the sincerity of the reception given him, and during t he spoeches of others, although ho was not an issue, there was an applause and cheers for him, which mealns more than applause during the course of one's speech. The distinctive feature of the meet ing today was the discuss(ion bot ween Senator McLanrin and former Con gressman Johnstone. It was really a superb debate. M' LAUalIN w~ELCOMED.

Mr. McLaurin opened up the see ond section of today's meeting in ai speech of over an hour, and duenny that time he was heartily applauded at frequent intervals, lie (did not mention Tillman throughout his speech in any way arnd he madui ne reference to Latimner, who had punched him good and hard duirmg~. his speech, but it was more eispe cially in his second( 0or reply speech that lie made his best e'ffort. It wan thon that lhe tookc off his collar and got down to business, and~ it wan then that lie threw real feeling intc his speech, replying to biting sar casm of Col.
