THE DEMAGOGUE'S DESTINY In these days, thc man who without the bigness of nature and the strength of mind, la too assertive, cannot ex port to be hore for more than a min ute. Losa thun ii generation ago the populace of Franco waa wild over Boulanger, "Ie brav general." Hut in time he became a fugitive from lila own country. In our own country we huvo seen tho demagogue of today become the vagabond of tomorrow. Sulzur'a full was a remarkable example of a cheap man riding to a full. Wo will point out no anal?gica, but will morely recite the history of tho French coxcomb to show how fickle is favor, how futile la the effort of the demagogue to fool the. people more than for a moment at least. "C'est Boulanger <iu'lo noa faute" -sang the hysterical and hypnotized populace In the at reeta of Paris. "He la Boulanger, he can make no mis take." Jua?, aa people have ?aid of other demagogues, "Ho can 'lo no wrong, I hello vu nothing I see about him in tho puperB." There waa a day when Boulanger might have gath ered anil of France In lils grasp-but he passed. At ono time thia French swashbuck ler might have said in earnest: "L'?tat-C'eBt mol"-"I am thc state." This wily politician had practiced the artR of popularity BO successfully that ho made himself the Idol of the befooled multltudo by skillful blus ter and pope. A recently published encyclopedia says: "Through tho introduction of some army reforms and appearance of a music hall song In IIIB praise, he was adopted as the embodiment of the "revenge" policy by the Parisians who for some months suffered from what was termed Boulanger fever. In 1880 he was prosecuted for his In trigues und fled the country. He was condemned in his absence and shot himself on hla mistress' grave in Brussells." Another writer thus deBcribes the characteristics of the opera bouffe tragedy, le brav' general of a national hysterics: He was pure egoism, enforced by almost superhuman vitality. He had au Instinctive feeling of the catchy phrase, the shallow sentiment of the moment. He had no convictions on any Bingle subject save his own es sential sublimity. He was absolutely unscrupulous as regarded politics. HlB shoddy ideal was a military one, and he took caro to present himself through the glorified haze of a mlll tory record.., Ho was intellectually seven pounds lighter than a straw hat; his speeches and writings crum ble to Impalpable dust on analysis. His Instincts wore all toward autocra cy. Imperialism, personal rule. The one effective dart against his armor was ridicule, tho ooo thing ho feared, like every charlatan, was laughter. Or consider certain points of his career. Ho developed his hold upon the peo ple through advocating "reforms." and "policies" which insured him ex tensive and continuous advertising. His opponents played Into his hands by attacking hla "policies." instead of merely showing that the man was as hollow as a bladder and that there fore, his advocacy of anything was meaningless, trivial and Insignificant. They dignified him by identifying him with a "cause," whereas the man him self would have collapsed at the pin prick ot contempt and mockery. When ho bad once gathered his fol lo?l?g ia seemed that nothing could check him. He committed blunders repeatedly, that would have ruined any other man. He talked things and did many things that would havo spelt political death in the ordinary code. He had "Boulanger luck." with him. surviving disgrace, expos ure, loss of office, surviving revela tions of cowardice, treachery, mental dishonesty. Apparently he was above all laws. Apparently It was written as a grim jest that a great nation .should come to wreck upon tho Igno rant, absurd, dangerous little man; that civilization should turn back an other fifty years at the pompous gos turo of this blatant demagogue. But Boulanger passed. He carried within himself the seeds of. IIIB own destruction. His* fever of ambition mounted too rapidly and he was consumed. Money to burn-tobacco income. A good highway makes the low cost ot living. Why not issue bonds to retire the floating debts of the etty?

Occasionally a farmer OWOB a little money and he should pay it just as lh? local merchant should pay his obligations when due. The farmer will pay his debts when he gets the chance. Neary every farmer in An derson county can go another year without buying necessities. Meat and bread have been produced by the sensible farmer's and they are Inde pendent. The greatest weight of privation will fall upon the mechanic and the mill operative. Building operation!, which for two years past have been lively, may suffer curtailment and carpenters and bricklayers may be laid off. It is to them moro than to the farmer that our sympathies should be given. Tho farmer is Inde pendent if he owns his farm, no mat ter how small it may be. Thc mill operative in another whose happiness and prosperity is in the keeping of fate. Somo mills In other sections of the ?tate have suffered seriously already. The mill managers of the South arc splendid humane men. In ordinary circumstances they would keep their mills running at a loss to give em ployment to their people. Many mean things, and false, have been written in Northern journals with reference to our mills and mill peo ple. We are, and of a right should be proud of the mill people of the South. They tore Industrious, thrifty-and what ls more, moral and Christian. There ls emplanted in the soul of thc average mill person a deeply relig ious sentiment, for the most of the population ot our mills come from the native inhabitants and with their natural instinct combined with the religious opportunities afforded by the manufacturing enterprises, and the well equipped schools, we find that the mill wokrkers are becoming a class of citizenship which, if undis turbed by demagogues or by alien haranguer, will be the model for the entire world. They have become In telligent, saving and ambitious peo ple, and If this war ' keeps up they will feel it more deeply than any other class of people in this country, for many mills may be made idle.. Illustrating the deep implanted de sire of these people for the better things of life is the Interest they, take in improving their little homes, and the earnestness with which they strive for priies when the mills of fer them. The announcement ot the' prize winners appeared i this pan per yesterday. We congratulate the Gos sett Mill management In Anderson and in Williamston for encouraging Its employes to have their flower gar dens and their vegetable gardens. The mill pennie are good people. The ' mill management does well to hold out to thom opportunities and to In still Into their hearts the wish to pro gress unceasingly In self-improve ment. It is necessary that all good peo-, pie stick together no matter what , their surrounding or environment, and if there ls any allegation of clan nishness with reference tp the mill people it ia not their fault. They are , sensitive, they do not . ih to make tho first advances, but they will re spond every time to the friendliness of the people of other vocations and j walks of life. This ls a time when all men are piaced on a common plane to face the enemy-stern fate. A BAD POLICY Governor Blease In a statement declaring his reasons for calling a special session of the legislature, re fers to the financial obligations of the state. It is true that S. T, Carter, state treasurer, and A. W. Jones, comptroller general, did arrange for a loan to carry the state until taxes begin to come tn, but there is on as surances that the loan can be extend ed, and especially at the low rate of interest secured during the summer. The governor suggests that the time for paying taxes should be ex tended to order to benefit the poor people. We think this ls a bad prop osition. About four-fifths of the tax es of the state are paid by corpora tions and by large towns and cities. The corporations would thus be en abled to keep from paying taxes to the state and save the Interest on their money for weeks. Such a law would not tn the end be of much ben: cfit to the poor man. * - What we need ts legislation to pat money Into circulation, not to cause more stagnation. Relief Ship Sails.

Mc Mnhan ls in the third primary for the house of representative/, from Rich land county. He ha? been all hut overwhelmed again by the solid vote of the cotton mill district, which will never forgive him for thc advocacy of the reform of the primary and his putting through the bill for the com mission form of government in Co lumbia, with the regulation of the city primary. Mr. McMahan hun been an exception among the .poIlticiutiB in not being "politic" and in seeking always to serve the people first and think not of himself.. When the need ot re forming tho primary was generally felt he alone of ull the public men In the stat i- set himself squarely to the task of arousing public opinion to thc ne cessity for that reform. Other men prominent in politics were discreetly silent or very mild In their advocacy of primary reform. He went the lim it and wrote on the subject every week for a year and cheerfully took upon himself all of thc antagonism and hia unswerving course waa sure to arouse. But for hie work the pri mary would not have been reformed, and Iiloase would be the nominee for the United States senate and Rich ards the nominee for governor of South Carolina. Richland county has repudiated Blease and Richards, but has not yet elected John McMahan to the house of representatives though bo Ls the fore most righter in the redemption of the state. He ls in a third primary. The county has elected four members of tho hom e, strong and splendid men, though for the most part unknown to the state. He ls contending for thc fifth place with a young man, unknown who seems to have received the solid Blease vote and some anti-Mease sup port. The county*is proud of its tri umph over Blease and is forgetful of the man ta whom tho triumph is chiefly duo: The peoplo of the state will hope for a more consistent re sult in the third primary. The people of the state want the services of-John McMahan in the legislature. Almost any other county would have elected him at the head of its ticket. Rich land injures herself if she loses the opportunity to have the Influence in legislation which his presence in her delegation wiuld give her.
