Wars ami rumors ol' wars remind us that tlit' Bible lias said that this would he tlie condition preceding the end of i In- world. In every section of the country lead ers of thought and action, hon< st, thinking men of every das - and condi tion are hastening to ally themselves with Bryan and Stevenson. Kveiy day the success of Democracy grows more promising. The Knights of Pythias Lodge at Suinter, S. ('.. has established a schol arship ar Clcmsoii College. This is indeed a knightly act well in keeping with the brotherly principles and charitable teachings oi a noble order. These worthy sons of Suinter deserve and will receive the thanks of all w ho appreciate nobility of purpose. The National Democratic Executive Committee wants only lour thousand dollars from South Carolina Democrats to help elect Bryan and Stevenson. The money is wanted for legitimate purposes, such as tho expenses of campaign and the distribution of cam paign literature in the doubtful States. South Carolina can well afford to stand some of the expense of the campaign, and the sum asked for should he easily and promptly raised. The war in South Africa is about ended, but the war news from the Phil ippines continues to come in ladened with the death lists of American sol diers. The twenty millionsthc "stren uous" glory seekers induced the gov ernment to give for those "peaceable11 islands was but a drop iti the bucket to the mighty cost that was to follow in their wake. What will be the final cost is a question that will touch the heart and pocket of the American peo ple. Solicitor Ansel is now on his last round as prosecuting attorney lor the State in the Eighth Judicial Circuit, and the tribute paid him last week by ourGrand Jury was a just and deserved one. We do not believe South Caro lina ever had a more zealous, faithful or conscientious Solicitor than he, and in voluntarily retiring from the office he carries with him the confidence and good will of every law-abiding citizen. May Heaven's richest blessings be his portion throughout life. . . ? - mm - There is a more general agitation of the race question now t linn ever before. The subject is constantly coming up in conventions, in churches and in legis lative bodies. The question is a live one to the South. The negro is wel come to stay in the South so long as he knows his place and has the sense to keep it. The present agitation can do no harm and it may result in some good. The country might as well un derstand the attitude of tho South toward the negro now as well as any other time. White supremacy will bo maintained in the South as long as Southerners claim the section ob their home. A pleasing and well deserved recog nition of the intrinsic and artistic merits of American textiles is found in the award of grand prizes and gold medals at the Paris exposition to tho products of our cotton and woolen mills in competition with those of other countriee. As a whole our textile ex hibits stood tho competitive test better than those of any other couutry. With one exception only, in which a silver medal was awarded, overyone of these exhibits received either a grand prize or a gold medal. Viewed from any point it is the most brilliant record ever accorded to a line of textile fabrics placed on exhibition in competition with tho manufactures of the world. - mm m, m A concise and complete picture of the manifold oppressions of the trust sys tem is given by Brynn in his letter of acceptance: "The consumer suffers ex tortion, the producer of raw material has but one pu re baser and must sell at the arbitrary price fixed; tho laborer has but one employer and is powerless to protest against injustice either in wages or in conditions of lnbor; the small stockholder is at tho mercy of the speculator, while the traveling salesman contributes his salary to the overgrown profits of the trust." Every man, woman and child in tho United States is banefully affected by tho trusts. Every man, woman or child can bo placed in ono of tho classes Bryan has enumerated. Tho class of consumer embraces them all. Some occupy a place in two of the classes. The demand is constantly growing for shuttles. Cotton factories arc in creasing at a rapid rate, and it appears that the small item of shuttles is ono of remarkable difliculty to procure. Why pot build ono of our own? South Carolina can manufacture the shuttles just as easy and just as successfully as Massachusetts. We labored long in this resourceful Southern country un der the delusion that cotton factories could not be made a success. That falacy no longer exists, and the thou sand and one other things that have for generations enriched the manufac turing East can be and will be manu factured in the South. We need a diversification of manufacturing enter prises* and a shuttle factory could be made a success. Little machinery and small capital will bo required. The wood of this section, we are told. . r it-_ i_. t.t ? jt - ? _?._. . l and the market? are redly hungering for a more abundant supply. Why not havo ona in Anderson? Sepius Items. "Time, liken stream, gliding on." Sept. 5W, P.IOO, and yet it seems as il' it had been only a few days .since every thing wna clad in glorious array on ac count of that happiest day of all the year, Christmas, and here it is almost upon us. A great many changes have taken place since the advent of I'.too, and a great many more will take place before its termination. Since the beginning of the year our army, or rather Mc Kinlcy's army, has "crushed" the re bellion in the f'hilippinu Islands, the British have murdered the Boors, and now I lie international war eagle lias swooped down upon the ye'low man of, I In- < M ii nt. and soon lie will be known no more upon earth. While, the light ing i.- going on in distant lands we have m battle going on right under our eyes, the bat t le between despotism and jus tice, bid high above the roar and din of' bailie can be seen the towering form of one in whom lies the destiny of these l'ni ted States. This is the* ;rcat and adorable William Jennings IJiyan. His whole life shows that h<-. lias" the good of the American people at hear.l and \s not meddling in foreign a Hairs. The Democrats arc going t<> win one of the grandvst victories ovei the lb publicans this year thai has ever been recorded. Truly, we musl win the \ ictory or all is'lost. We have, been having -unie of the hottest weal tier during the past week that has ever been expel ienceil in Sep tember. There i> going (< be a great deal of moving ;tliciitl among our people this lall. >onie aie going to Georgia, and it is repotted that some have the Texas lever. \ good portion of our people attend ed the I'ii ion meeting at Corinth last Sat unlay and Sunday. They reporta pleasant occasion. Cupid has been shooting his arrows at one of our popular widowers, and from all appearances has wounded him pretty badly. Quite a number of prospective buy ers wen* in this community last week looking over the estate of the late Win. Watkins. There has been an epidemic of sore eyes in this community, but w as con lined mostly to the children. The farmers will sow another largo small grain crop this year. They have about, come to the conclusion that it pays them to raise their breadstuff at home and not depend on some one else. There are some people who cannot live without Unding fault. No matter what subject or person conies up in course oi conversation, they start some frivolous objection or make some scn sorous remark. Instead of trying to he in charity with their neighbors they take malicious pleasure in speaking evil of them. They obstinately shut their eyes to good qualities, while, they employ microscopes to discover anil magnify evil ones, and afterwards they torture language to exaggerate what they have seen, so as to depreciate as much as possible. They do not, how ever, always speak out holdly, but they deal in inuendocs, bints and ominous shakes of the head. Instead of frank ly assailing in front, they assassinate behind the. back. They spend their lives in defiling human nature, like the foul Yahoos whom the sutarist has depicted. To believe them there are none virtuous but themselves, all the rest of mankind being knaves, brutes or devils. The proverbial fault-tinder lit tie thinks that, in Censuring so mail - ciouslyand indiscriminately he is only painting his own portrait*. It is a se cret consciousness of his demerit, a. gnawing rage at the superiority of oth ers, which is the real cause of his want of charity, the principle inducement to his abuse. His own heart is the lllir row from which he describes mankind. The best men have been those, inva riably, who spoke the most kindly of their race. The great type of all man hood, whoso perfect humanity is the admiration even of Pagans and Athe ists, are those who always speak in be nignnut terms, even of "publicans and sinners." It is to his precept that wo owe the great doctrine of human brotherhood. Iu the ideal of the fallen Lucifer, we have, on the contrary, the incarnation of malico, hate, slander, ill will, and evil speaking. As the one is said to have come to bring "peace and good will to men,1' so the other first detiled fair creation with strife and sowed war among the hosts of Heaven. We never listen to the bene ficent language of one who is in chari ty with his race, without feeling that he is advancing more and more to the "perfect man." So long, till we come again. W. C. Baknett.. Townville News. The Union Meeting at this place last Saturday and Sunday was attended by a large crowd. Visitors were present from Seneca, Pcndloton, Anderson and other places.
