To our surprise those who aro wont to muk?' capital out of tho "nigger" either overlooked and have not learn ed of the fact that the funeral ser vice? of an old negro mun who lived und died io Yorkvllle were held in the white folks ohurch and wen- ? on ducted by the white pastor of the church, assisted by the pastor of the eolored church of which the deceased wu? u member. Whut an opportunity hus been lost. Scandalous! Oh, what a crime nguinst civilization. And what's more, about four hundred people attended the funeral, whites und blucks in ubout cquul numbers. And more aw ful than that, officers of the church, the county und of the bar ucted us pall bearers. ijThere were numerous flor ul tributes, from both whites and blucks. We did not learn whether he was buried in the white folks ceme tery. What are we coming to that such us this transpires in Hie South? This ls about as much of the situa tion as would be tuken In hy those who would ride the "nigger." But look a lillie further into the matter und see what the Yorkvllle Enquirer, which, by tho way, some were wont to class as a Blease sympathiser, lias to say regurdlng the significance of thc old negro's funeral being held in tho white folks church: "The sole significance of this unusual tribute to a negro was the compelling power of charac ter, worth, faithfulness, as ex emplified In a long life of humble but honest service. Hannibal was probably the best known negro In York County. He wa? born in servitude and reared in the home of a master an.i mis tress who were the best products of ante bellum civilization, and who had no children of their own. He was humble, courteous, alert. Intelligent and obliging, and if he ever Intentionally gave offense to whites or black, thc circum stance ls not of record. Tie passed through periods of intense racial friction, without ever in curring the suspicion of ill will ot either whites or blacks, and so far as ls known has never been absent from his post of duty except by reason of serious ill ness. Hannibal was sexton of the Associate Reformed church of Yorkvllle from 1869, and was Janitor of the court house from 1874." For 4tl years this old negro was Janitor of the church in which his funeral services were held. If there ls anything detrimental to the wel fare of either race in a faithful old rrTv-ant like Hannibal being accord ed this last hour In death, we full to see tt. On the contrary, it ought to be an Inspiration to others ot his race to live and servo as he did. If the white people never'show th-? negroes that right living t . their part has Its reward, how shall the creatures be convinced otherwise of the truth of what we preach. Of course Anderson will emerge from her disaster a bigger and bet ter city.-Greenwood Journal. Yep, old man Disaster was fooling with the wrong crowd In that dre. * ANDERSON GRIT The announcement yesterday by Mr. J. E. 'Borton that he bsd decided to rebuild his burned lumber plant, de spite the fact that he suffered a net loss of app.-ox'/.nn'ely $12.000, IS gratlfyiny newp, to say the least. The announcement means that 'every per ron or firm which suffered from the terrible fire of last Tuesday night will rebuild, for all the others had already stated that they would build anew. * One might not think that 'such u spirit as exhibited by these men ls a \jiluable asset to the city, but it ls. Comments bearing out the truth of this assertion are to be heard on all sides and read lu the papers ot the State. One of the most convincing of the editorial comments on the sub ject ls the following from 'the Green wood Journal of Thursday afternoon: The people of Greenwood sympa thise very much with the ' business men of Anderson in the severe losses that they have sustained by the very destructive fires that visited that place on last Tuesday. As evidence of this there were constant cans at the office of The Dally Journal for particulars, before the result of the fire was known. These calls were not simply prompted by curiosity, nut they Indicate an interest in our neiphboring city which was pro found . We are glad to see from thc papers of that city, the spirit o. the busi ness men of Anderson. While the loane eof some of them are quite heavy, they are not discouraged or ready to give up. Instead they are ready to take hold again and frown at disasters. This la the plrlt that always Insures success, lt has made Anderson and every other place that he ever amounted to anything worth while. lt ls said that during grand opera week tn Atlanta a burglar entered Ute home of a newspaper man there and atold three ot his wife's dia mond rings valued at $1,000. The only point of the story that interests aa ls "how conte" a newspaper man's wife with $1,000 worth of diamonds. .:.*.?.* + * * .? + * * * + * + .> PRESS COMMENT. .:..>.:..:..:..:..:..:..>?:..:..!..:..:..:.?.:. S h on lui/ Belated Caution. If even some of C-e rumors In cir culation about "war orders" are true, the announced determination of the French government to investigate, and, in case of need or reason, to re vise or abrogate, the contracts made in Its behalt will send apprehensive chills down many a spine. Thut France und the other powers with access to our markets should pay what are called "good" prices for what they want and must huve in the only country able to supply them -that is all right. At any rate lt ls right enough by all the rules und regulations ever laid down and ob served for the conduct of business in like eonditlons. But there have been whispers immy of foreign agents, more or less ofliciall accredited und authorized, who were not muk inp, their purchuses with an eye quite single to the interests of their re spective principals-who were think ing a little, and even much, about the possibilities of profits that were se cret as well as personal. Talc' huve been told of agents who demanded-and obtained-from reluc tant, but not obdurate, manufacturers two invoices, and even three, for the same goods, and In every such in stance, of course, the suspicion that somebody was being robbed could be entertained without convicting the entertuiuer of very shocking cynic ism. However, that contracts made and signed by authorized agents, whether honest and wtse or not, cnn be repudiated or changed at this late day it Is not easy to see. To do lt would vastly increase the difficulty of future negotiations and lead to a gen eral inslsetnce on "money down" at delivery or even before. If the powers have been Bending unfaithful or too acquisitive represen tatives over here, it is their own fault. American manufacturers are not eager to deal with midldemen, und they are not passionately fond of paying large commissions.-New York Times. Movies Move On. The new developments in movie fashions are to be noted. The all night movie shows seem to be here to stay. They have been a success in Chicago and are now invading New York. They call them the, "Ten-Cent Pullmans." because a man may spend the night in one for a dime, being en tertained the while. Night-workers who want a bit of recreation before they Bleep find them a boon, as do railroad crews who come in after midnight and go out in the early dawn. The other novelty was a show ex hibiting to a group of men who will take a western trip this summer the scenery they will Bee on their trav els. This suggests to railroads a fine method of advertising their lines. Railway offices might discard tho time-honored Ash on a plank in favor of movie machines. The Oregon Short Line might demonstrate nature's charma, while the Santa Fe showed steaming dishes of Fred Harvey con coction. The New Haven-but why continue? The railroads could easily guaran tee that lt you did not like in real life the scenery shown on tho screen beforehand, you could, in any town, visit the movies and spend a night at their expense looking at pictures of scenery somewhere else!-Augusta Chronicle._ Be Growing for a Tear. After an investigation of the situa tion the Wail Street Journal comes to the conclusion that it will be at ? least a' year before the maximum of I the war orders is reached in our ex port trade. These results began to ; show up/ In the February reports of exports, or six months a.*er the be ginning of the war. The Journal ar gues that the 'e should be a steady in crease in munitions exports for tho I next six months. War orders receiv ed to date and directly connected with arms and ammunition are not less than $300,000,000. But this ls only the beginning of expenditures in I thal country growing out of the war. The expenditures for wheat, provis ions, canned goods, etc., are entirely additional, anti no other word than I stupendous can be applied to th? I facts. The results can be figured at not less than a billion dollars In the trade balance of this country, and it may reach a billion and a half. The 'Journal says that with the curtail ment In travelers' expenditures the foreign trade balance now running in favor of this country may reach the stupendous totrj ot $2,000,000,000 a year, or more than three times our previous highest trade balance ot $600.000,000.-Charlotte Observer. Bladderizlng F-4> The engineering ingenuity ot the United States naval forces seems to have been balked In the task of rais ing the submarine in Honolulu har* bor. After the first few abortivo at tempts that were made the public lost confidence in the promisse that the boat would be soon raised to the sur face, r .>d lately the incident. Itself, has been about forgotten. We are now told of the latest plan devlaed, which only goes to show how hope less the task really seems to be. A dredge boat has been fitted with pow erful air compressors. The theory is that the submarine can be pumped full of air and will come to the sur face by means of Its own buoyancy. We are not old Just how the naval engineers ara to first make the boat airtight. The leeka in the hull mast ba aeated before the hull can ba fill ed with air, and the sealing ot the vessel where she lies under 300 feet ot water - ls the first problem to be encountered. When we ar? told how thia la going to be done, then wa may be inclined to take a little stock In the bladderislng theory.
