2 WOULD BE BAD FOR M'LAURIN. riLtMAjr WOt 1J) BEAT HIM AT MI D SLD'GDG. lAI the Senior Senator Una Siolhinc to toae and the Jnnior la o t'amll- Date for aHe-electlou the Former Would Be at a Decided Advantage. The People Want to llrar the la auea Debated, llow ever—Talk ot Excluding Mel.aurln From the Democratic rriwury Not Likely to Amount to Much. Columbia, S. C., April 25.-ln view of the arrive interest Senator Tiliman has been manifesting 1 in Senator McLaurin s action* and the well-known fact that the senior senator has had Congressman Lat imer In training for Mr. McLaurin’* place, there is a general desire to see the two senators meet on the stump and dis cuss questions that interest the public. This cannot be done without the consent of Mr. McLaurin, who, jreiullng ihe open ing of the campaign, can refuse to attend a meeting w~hieh Tillman is invited to ad dress, and after the campaign opens, Till man, not being a candidate, cannot par ticipate. While a mud-slinging match might be •difying to some, it would not be instruc tive, and it would be poor policy on the part of McLaurin to engage in a contest of this kind. Besides the fact that Till man is the recognised champion in this kind of battle on the stump. 1 ha would be invulnerable to any thrusts from McLaurin, his election not being involved. So the junior senator would have all to lose while Tillman risked nothing. It has been urged that McLaurin be barred from the Democratic primary be cause of his votes with the Republicans, and in some quarters it is believed this wilt be done. But such action by the Executive Committee will be opposed by a good many who do not agree with Mc- Laurin. These argue that it would be a dangerous precedent to permit the Execu tive Committee of the party in the state, to sit in Judgment, on a congressman’s politics as viewed by votes in Washing ton. This, wouid give a majority of the committee power to settle the fate of public men without consulting the peo ple, and on questions not covered by tne rules of the party. The committee will probably be. satisfied with requiring of Mcl-aurln the usual primary pledge, that he will abide by the result of the elec tion. Then the people will do the rest. There will be opposition to cutting off a free discussion and a fair fight. The is sues are clear enough on which to make a clear, clean cut contest, and South Car olina has certainly had enough of the other kind of lighting. peachlcropwiLl be short. Entomologist Scott Live* Hi* lien sons for This Prediction. Atlanta, April 25.—State Entomologist W. M. Scott is firm in the opinion that there will be only thirty-five to forty per cent, of the average peach crop this year. The crop, he says, has been cut down fully one-half by the intermittent cold spells, and a further loss of 15 to 25 per cent, of the crop remaining may be counted on. "There are three causes for this," said Mr. Scott to-day. "In the first place the •terns have probably been weakened con siderably by the recent cold spell. This wiit cause considerable more dropping than usual in June. In the next place the cureuJio or beetle which lays the eggs that makes worms, is already getting in its work, and much is also to be feared from the brown rot this year, because there are still many of the spores on the trees. Orchard men are spraying with bordeaux, a mixture of biuestone and lime for brown rot, and they should add two ounces to fifty gallons of bordeaus, for the curculio.’’ STANDS BA HIS INTERVIEW. Gcv.

An Ode to tlie University of Georgia Composed by Prof. D. C. Barrow. Athens, Ga., April 25.—1n a little vol ume entitled “Prayer Service Hymns, University of Georgia," recently issued, is the following Centennial 'Hymn, com posed by Prof. D. C. Barrow, who flll3 the chair of mathematics in the univer sity; A hundred years of toil and care Our mother freely gave, A hundred years of thought and prayer, O, mother, kind and brave; And now from all her borders wide Old Georgia's sons are come. High swell their hearts with Joy and pride, And glad they gather home. Wide swings our mother’s open gate, Hard beats her heart with love, No king who sits in regal state, Can such array approve. Her stalwart sons are here in bands, No homage do they share, She sees the labor of her hands, She sees her answered prayer. Our rock-ribbed hills forevermore Their silen't strength express. Our wide plains yield a bounteous store, A people rich to bless; And Georgians love our Georgia land, From Dade to Glynn's blue tide; But, mother, though our land be grand, Thy sons are Georgia's pride. O God, who gave the red hills might. And spread the fertile land. Thy word has been our mother’s light, Her strength, thy guiding hand. In simple faith her sons were taught. To work and watch and pray. To shun the paths with evil fraught, And walk in wisdom's way. Prof. D. C. Barrow, is a brother of Hon. Pope Barrow, of Savannah, a most layal son of the university, and one of the strongest men in the faculty. The hymn composed by him will be used extensive ly during the Centennial Commencement exercises. The collection of hymns in which it appears are those used each morning in the devotional services In college chapel. FLORIDA'S FIELD CROPS.
