Spartanburg Ino- two pretty fair ho
tels, tin- (?nsham und tin- Finch, and
yet that city is pulling for a new one.
to cost around $250.000. The Herald
U presenting the situation in (hat city
saya:
"Tl?, hotel situation is laid before
(lie people of Spartanburg this morn
ing in all UH details, and it is for them
to decide whether or not the present
movement ia to bring to thia city a re
alization of the. greatest need it feels.
A modern hotel, of a type as good us
the bert in al) regions around about, ls
woefully wunted here and then- are
none tn deny the fact.
"This morning the hotel is su near
and yet so far from being assured
there is reimon for all hands to come
to the support ot the movement and
to contribute as they may to its suc
cess. No one thing cun contribute
more to the greater and broader de
velopment of the city than the erec
tion at once of such a hotel and lt is
dillieult to believe that Spartanburg
is going to allow the present plan to
.ail through.
"Thfre are eo many reasons for its
success, so many purposes lt will
serve, in further stimulating Hie
growth of Spartanburg. and these are
all so apparent to the public lt seems
unnecessary to enumerate them at this
time. It should be sufficiently at
tractive UH an Investment to those
who have faith in Spartan burg's fu
ture to demand support, yet there are
those who look upon the amount they
invest in the stock of the company as
u donation. Unless Spartanburg has
attained ber growth and progress ls
to liait from now on, and there are
none who believe this, the Investment
will In thc end prove remunerative.
"The people of Spartanburg aro
amply able tn build the hotel, they
have done greater things for Hie
greater good of the city, and we be
lieve they will respond today to this
movement. The fate of this community
really rests in the bands of the larger
property owners here, and they may
lu a great measure determine at this
lime the progress their city ls to
make tn the immediate future by
rheir attitude to the very proposition.
Let il go out to the world that Spar
tanburg has fallen down on her ho
tel mutter und lt will he yeurs be
fore we recover from the Impression
the announcement win make. A city's
estimate of its own importance and
its own possibilities ls the one ac
cepted by the outside world.
"Let those who are amply able do
their duty and the hotel will be as
sured."
IS CARRANZA. A SI'OKTi
There has been little dllflcully in ar
ranging mutters between Huerta and
Ihr United States. The old fox knows
I hat his day ls done and he wished
lo end his regime os gracefully as
mich a pe: son can do.
i 'arran/a would not go into the
peace negotiations at the outset and
for a very good reuson. He knows
that he is nearing the end of a vlc
lorioilF campaign and he did not wish
to have un armistice or cessation of
hostilitlea when the object of his bit
ter ami bloody campaigning waa Just
within kVach.
Now the situation is different. He
ls ready to strike the decisive blow.
Within 48 hours he may have the fed
eral armies dissipated over the whole
face of tho country. However. Hu
erta's ellminat'.r.n has been accom
plished by the pence conference and
Carranza may well afford to take his
chances like a good sport.
When we get railroads to Athens,
Knoxville and Clemson college, the
hotels will bo here for the increased
travel.

Wo il" not know the forc es that ure j

<oin?' to naught, nut we do know that
South Carolina can w?dl afford to have;
in 1e r public soi vico men of the
character, intellect and attainments
nf Col. Morgan. Ile.-ls a native of
Dactisville, ('tokens county, und ob
tained his legal education under the
Instruction ot the late Col. Jas. I..
Orr His Hrs! political oltleu was i-ity !
attorney of Greenville and his next i

other- and received lint) more votes
than his next highest competitor, or
I lire?*-fourths of the total vote of th?'
county. His career on the floor of
the house was little short of brilliant. ?
Ile was th?- author of the hil! which !
later under a different name swept out

state dispensary. He made n gallant

Tlu re is a large number of vot?:rs
in this state who welcome the coming
of a third man in the race, or possibly
two or thre?' mure so that they would
hale a number from whom to select,
although tile lines have been pretty
well drawn. There are many in tho
state who voted against (hiverner

not support Senator Smith because

would it get enough votes tu elect

would do well to have in high station,

A FINK SENTIMENT.
(.em From An Address by Mr. John
I,. McKue to a ('Inns of (iradtmt
lng Nurses.
I have for this nation of ours an
Ideal.
May lt be a land where Christian
ity sheds its gentle glow, and doubt
um! skepticism wither and die; where
our abundant natural resources are
.jsed without waste and judiciously
conserved for the generations yet to
rome; where the frightful ravage
of tire ia prevented and life and
property not consumed; where popu
lar government o null not perish from
I'arth. but endure; where the great
mission of tho physician ia to pre
vent, rather than to treat disease:
whore death comes from natural de
cline and noi from preventable sick
ness; where the average life of man
ls three score y??ars and ten; where
er'"?.prlBea yields to capital a reason
nb profit, to labor a reasonable
wai, und to the consumer a useful
mmmodity at a reasonable price;
where the scales of. justice are tipped
ttot to the masses or classes, but
itand equipoised; whore the flower of
the field reaches Ita highest beatuty;
und where man. Hie flower of God's
creation, reaches its highest fruition
In art. in literature, in science, in
government and in manhood ; where
tho brightest and the du liest, the
richest und thc poorest, the strongest
ind the weakest, rightfully use the
talents which (Sod has given them;
whore In lt all and through it all.
runs like a silver thread the pure
ind limpid stream of high Ideals to
ead man on to his greatest good.
'I dipt into the future as far as human
cy c could see ; j " .. ?..
Saw the vision of the world, and all
the wonders thnt would be."

(From The Wall Street Journal.)
"Nover in my experience, have I

he. limit nf deposits on which we

if one of the largest savings banks
n New York. "In the last few weeks
l?verai dozen accounts reached the
13,000 limit and some of them were
?tarted a comparatively short time
igo. New accounts are increasing In
.nimber every week. Thrift among
Ul classes seems to have iucreaaed
remendously during the past year."
From t'otton tn Alfalfa.
Some persons are making good bar
gains in Alabama lands. According
o the Birmingham Ledger, an estate
>f 496 acres in Greene county has
teen sold for $3.078. or about $6.25 an
tere, and an estate of 1670 cres In
darengn county for $80,000. or about
?48 an acre, both within one week
These lands are to be taken from cot
