A TIDE OF IO NO KA .NC E _v That was a remarkable "address at the BapttHt church laut Sunday night by Judge Pritchard. WhO* the tem perance feature trtood out most ntroiiKly yet it lu a fact that there were other things equally as forci ble. The enforcement of tho law waa| his subject, and he made an appeal ? that yet rlugB in the ears of his hear-! eta, , . r\ . . Among other things be spoke of the tendency to drive away from the true spirit of Americanism. There are coming to our doors every year onp million persons of loreign birth, of many religious beliefs aha tot no set tled patriotic convictions. The gates ? Bills Island swing inward for UIIB at hordes of people, he said, and do they Bwing out again. In .. great state of Massachusetts there is a foreign born population of G5 per cent Think of that. In the state of South Carolina there is but three per cent foreign born. In North Carolina 1 and 1-2 per cent. There ^sre some j of these Immigrants that Are good people, but when we Tead bf the "I. W.W." and of the American fla? be ing trampled under foot,, it causes us to think that there must be some dev ilment afoot somewhere. Judgto Pritchard sgid he had^preach ed in the northland he'waa proud to repeat it in the south that the true patriotism of this country is in the south. Th a purest blood of the for eigners ls in the south and In the hill country ot the Carolinas and hack up Into the mountains. When danger j comes to the republic, it wi! be found I that the south will be the section to respond to the protection of the rights and the true liberty of the people. How necessary then ls it that our people should" be educated and that they should feel the responsibility of good citizenship. Judge Pritchard presented the. matter in a manner striking und forcible, showing how the rough mountaineers become splendid citizens when they are given education and. Christianity. Senator E. D. Smith of this state ls chairman of thb . senate . (pinnat^ee on Immigration and we seo that he has reported favorably a bill to require a literacy test of all immigrante seek ing adiriioBiun into the United States. President Wilson, whose private sec retary is a Catholic, haa stated that he will reto such a bill. Congress should pass it over ht? veto and ask him to resign, and aft ir satisfying ourselves that unworthy persons *a**? aot to be admitted as citizens of this great country, lets have a -clean -np of Illi teracy at home and bring thia country to the great state ot development j which tluv times demand. HELLO, SPARTANBURG ) Uirtll one actually makes the trip over Ute Interurban from Anderson to Spartanburg, lt is difficult to realise what this great development means to this section of the state. The passen ger trains over the link from Greers to Spartanburg were put Into opera tion on Tuesday cf this week and al ready thia road has attracted, quite a [beary.local traffic. The road does not exactly parallel the Southern's main inc, aa it does from Greenwood to Belton sad Green ville, but follows lt closely-enough to 'make the important stops ot Taylors and Duncan and other , joints, and afeo runs a mlle nearer to Tucapau than the Southern does. One .can now get on the*train in Anderson and go to spsrtanburg with out c'tauglng bia seat in the care. The termino! in Spartanburg is just in the rear of vhs Bite of the old Spartan Inn and lt said .that^ this fine site-en Main Btreet may be UBCd later for the passenger station. The new road bed is In excellent condition, la fact almost as smooth as any part south ot ^.reenvllle.^ The construction work was wry heavy, and a road could have been built from hers to Hsrtwell. Ga.. and posstbiy all the'way to Athens for the same smoun t. There io ono thing not. so easily'un derstood. The G. S. & A. religiously operates Its trains on a schedule five minutes In advance of the South ern. We fall to understand the good policy in thia. If the Interurban would leave Greenwood 10 minutes af ter the tram from Columbia arrives there on the Southern, st would get nearly all of the travel from the low er port of the state to Anderaon. If the G. S. & A. would pass Hodges five minutes after Instead of tlv? .minute* before tho Abbeville branch train ar rives there, it would1 pick up a lot jygp??*r ??? ??s Ir. terrbTS ??kco no cf fol* UT get Ibis train. The Ind tnrurhmi lui taken the nisht train off thq Anderson line, although, we hear that there are night trains -on other branches.

John L. McLa In j Bennettsvlllo, Mareil 38.-To the People: After the adjournment of the general i assembly, I announced myself as a i candidate for governor. < 1 take it that tl.? ?fu?iug lsaaes In | the coining cainpa'.cn will he, viz. First. Qualifying suffrage in the * primary i Second. Compulsory p.ehool laws. I Third. The Fortnor bill. Fourth. The wanehouse bill. i f.. Dlraseism (So-called.) On most of thean Issues I made up i my mind after careful thought when i it teemed quite unlikely thut 1 would he a candidate for public oltice. . 1 ' am no trimmer and ?rn ready to take an unequivocal stand on the issues. 1 have no Illusions, aa to public life ?md the burden, ol a campaign in the torrid f.um mer heat would deter rae, if I did not feel thu 1 could reuder South Carolina valuahle service in the governor's office. If the people think so, they will put me there, and If they do not. I hav.e discharged what I feel to be a duty, I owe myself and the friends who have so persistently urged me forward. My record In the legislature is against the compulsory education mensure known as the Lawson-McOra \y hill. I am not opposed to it on principle, and the thru- may come in South Carolina, when a policy of com l ul; orv education 1B proper, but lt la not now. The funds available for common school purposes are not suffi cient to properly equip and maintain school;) in existence. As a rule they now have more scholars than can be accommodated. It seems to rae that we had first best toke care of these school? ind the'pupils who appear vol untary., 'before beating the highways and hedges to bring in more. . The right to take one mao's money to edu cate another man's child ls based on the necessity of having an intelligent I electorate' to maintain civilized gov ernment. If this be true the common schools are tor the many, the colleges for the few.' I think that we have fos tered higher education at the expense nt IHo .*w*mmf?w ?"^CC??. I r.'-- l~~ fr.V or of maintaining the colleges but building more school house before en larging our present state colleges. In 1890 our common school system was very poor as compared with what .vu now have. If I were to venture n criticism lt would be that wc need ii oro teachers who really teach. *?hool la In session ' ^o'clock un til about 2:30 hea. 1 . .rations then the children go hom?, to oe taught. If the parents are Ignorant, these chil dren baye no teacher. A teachers compulsory education law would greatly advance the cause. ' The Primary. I nm not In favor ot restricting the right to vote in the primary by ap plying the qualifications laid down in the constitution for the general elec tion. With a few amendments the present rules if fairly, and honestly administered are sufficient. I am satisfied that the laat primary waa without fraud to any considera Mu extent Mere irregular it les do no constitute fraud. The greatest evil In the / on duct .of the primary arises from the'uso of money In buying votes. If a mun with money is without-moral acruple, no statutory enactment ? can prevent ita' use where there ls a pur chasable vote. The intelligent man with money who ianvpta w^aktic?a sad cupidity- ts *he grater crkaluai ot the t wo, and 1 have not heard of any one being, puniched yet, for thia meanmt of ali ejection frauds. . The Sortoer BIM. The Fortndr bill pass?e the house and came to the senate. I favor the passage of thia btu aa amended by Senator Clifton and if elected governor will recommend Ita enactment into law. Cotton Marketin?. ty My view's on the state warehouse proposition are well koowa and can not bc elaborated upon in a short statement. The bill, pe.ssad the aen uio wira an amendment referring tbe question to the people. It uti Vor came to a vote in the house. Since tba' adjournment of the general aa , tembly a syndicate of capitalists head ed by Mr.-Duke, the founder of the American Tobacco TruBt has announc ed plana to put thia warehouse system Into operation tn every cotton stale. This.would bo a grand thing If ll could be controlled in tho Interests ot the producers of cotton, bdt thia ls unrea sonable to expect. I could have se cured private capital to tolld a ware house system in SoutL Carolina with the powers conferred In the ware house bill, but it would have been, foi the profit of thosa furnishing the carr ' Ital, not for the benefit of th? enthc people as under a state eyatem. Out cotton crop sells for shout one bill lon dollars each year. The floating sup ply averages about two million bales ead whoever controla that, (withlr certain limits) can dictate the price o the ?rep. It ia done now and wouk 1 be done etlll more effectively under tN I management of Mr. Duke. He con (trolled tho price of tobacco to auch ai extent thu after years of litigation thu i company was dissolved by tho court* Ut would bo far easier to dictate th< I pr leo of cot tnn IHK*?II?U lt u a n-tura monopoly while tobacco is r wdrlt Wide product Jttssfe Is no ng ter tis ^???es? , OfiptRon to ?et tie value of their >ro tdlat^aespt uftare? the surplus then selves and hold it eft* the market whe3 tho price ts too low. me credit or tn, : ?tata and;th.*; prosperity ot the peoMi ? dopea'chi almast entirely on the cdttos ente All abare in the proaperlty of th farmers aalAMint * business la Uki l?tale or professional man, but feet I the pinch when we have such a yea jae If Ur Nothing will gat tba stat ion nor r?et nuiov?r th*T ?n admisis trattoo which will develop and en courage agriculture.

There has never been'a time in the listory of our state when good policy, charity and tolerance were more need ed than now. Since 1890, we have , tad two political faction!-, more bitter- ,I ly hostile than existB between parties lu other states. The movement lp 18i>u ?'as aimed it the social and political .systems, but he Aukane? element, which was its lackboue was 'largely Inspired by the lope of bettering-industrial condition. Die purely political i it In the aseen lency and gradually the Industrial ele ment, headjed by Norris, Siarkhouse md others became d,u?e8cent. The inauguration.ol the state dispen sary strengthened the political forces, mt after a few yiears. the state dis pensary with Its era of graft and greed >assed away. Then Cole L. Blease WcLAURIN GALEY TV/O ook up the fight of ?the people for a arider voice in their own affairs Just f.-here lt had been lying dormant ever ?Ince Governor Tillman deflected it 'rom its true state into the liquor busi ness. The present . ovement headed )y Gov. Blease is nothing but a contin jation of the political movement be gun by Tillman in 1890. The divisions ire Just as they were then with the ex ception that "Blease has not the strong rollowing.of au ihdusiri^i organization ike the Farmers Alliance. -r-s--ti-;-7 The cry for restrictions" of suffrage j In the primary ta from those who do ' not believe in the rule of a majority, but In the rule ot privilege, and power. No thoughtful man can for ons mo ment believe that there are. not forces at work outside of njpre personality. Thc ?uliBu m-li? uiiSrjeprBsaniation heaped upon Tillman waa just as great aa now showered upon. Blease. Let any man go to the newspaper Hies from 1890 to 1895 and see for himself. Social and business pressure was aa great tn.1890 aa now ..^against a young lawyer who dared take Till man's-side. The idea seamed to be then that if Tillman could be defeated that tho-movement would he dead. Wlhut a mistake, some anacen force deep down has kept the ?rcB alive, and will keep them alive until the pur pose for which they were kindled has been accomplished. Aa long aa there la an oligarchy which seeks to sub ject the majority to thc wiii of a min ority, even If restrictions designed to disfranchise negroes in a general elec tion mast oe Invoked to prevent white men voting in a party primary, there will bo a leader on hand to fight fae \ peop?e? battle. With ?h? pjlitical battle won. then the nKmhnent l?gun In 1890, wll lenter upon the ful accom plishment or Its destiny. I do not think that Tillman with aft of hi abil ity.could have led /?long the lines of an industrial uplift, nor docs the gen lu? of Blease And its scope ta that field.

' a - split nong our white people which ls in vitante when class Is eternally array d against class. The next forward movement in this tate should be in the line of industrial evelopment. The masses have re tained unsatisfied because mere poli ical agitation has not and never can bccompllsh anything in the way of nancial relief. . The Farmers' product is still priced by the buyer and what, he consumes.by "he seller. This will cotnlnue until proper system for marketing the cot |on crop is provided by law. WUiite labor is leaving the farms for he mill and workshop. Ihls makes nore competition between laborers in he towns; swells the .auks of non rod ucers, and raises even higher the ost of living. The ody remedy is D increa&a the profits on the farm y cutting out the middlemen- and tpeculators who absorb profits, but iroduce nothing to either feed or lottie mankind. If I can turn, some of the energy Eow devoted to politics into -the de elopment and conservation of the attirai resources of our state, 1 can nd no better field for the use of brain nd body. I saw recently i^ a Texas paper a tateraent that n - farmer in Texas placed a stamped envelope with a note n a bale of cotton requesting whoever ftnanufactuned the cotton to report the Iprlce paid. Thar farmer sold the cot Iton at ll cents per pound. In a few mon tba he received a reply (rpm Ger-, ?any, saying that the cotton coat the |mlll 19 cents per pound, and that lt muid be manufactured into good* that Iwould bring about $1000. Of course that ia an extreme case, but here la $40 per baie, that someDoay received, oat >f that bale of cotton, between a Texas ?field and a German mill, not to men tion the enormous profit to manufac turers. Soma state must take the lead in the solution o fthe greatest Iproblem confronting us today. Why not South Carolina? With material prosperity, which Ia our birthright by reason bf a monop oly In the world's greatest agricultur al product, such ephermal questions as now divide the people sill solve them selves nr be forgotten In doing greater things. . If, as governor of all tho . people, Blease and antl-B'caae. ooor and rich, white and black. I can lead our state Into the path of peace and the bless ings of a sweet porsperlty then my life has not been in vain. John Lowndes MJcLaurin. Political Advertisements.
