No S a:e should envy Kentncky her cimp:?i/ri tbis yrar We much prefer the industrial development of Sooth Carolina to (he red hot campaign in Kentucky. An illustration will show how lively the campaiga tor Governor really is. A few nights sgo Goebal, the Democratic nominee for Governor, attacked ex-Congressman Owens, saving that the reason Owens opposed him was because he, Goebel, bad cau.=ed to be passed an ami-gambling law, "thereby interfering with ttie regular easiness j of Owens." Of course this made O^eus nia<i? andlerepli-d t? Goebt-l. A few of Otfeiia' expressions will show how .hot he was. Goebei'i statement was characterized as "maliciously fa's*," for Goebel was not even a member of tbelegislature wben tbe gambling bill wa? passed. Bat this is tame. Sooth Carolina is used to this mild language in politics. Owens did not stop here. "Murderer, thief, liar," a?-e the charges made by Owens sgainst Goebel "Murderer" because he killed John D. Sandford, "who-was trying to reelect Joe Blackburn to the United Stales Sesate; that he made war on Sanford, and caused to be printed an articlc against Sanford so vile and infamous that it cannot ke lead before a lady, knowing wheu he wiote it, thatitwouid not end there, and that that Sandford would call him to account." "Goefcel," it is alleged, "held his pist?] under his coat, and at the first frign of Sanford's drawing," he killed bim, and the widow of Sandford was sent to a madhoiwe in consequence. Goebel was "a thief" because he stole the nomination. Goebel wis a "Jiar" betanse be promised to omiuate Stone. Keatucky U a fighting State, and this incident may end a9 tbe SandfordGoebel affair. The pabiic U pretty tired of hear* ing of dispensary irregularities, and the only remedy that we Fea to end "scandals" in the bu*iue>8 is to knock the whole machinery to pieces, and license individuals to sell liqnor nnder the same regulations as govern the dispensary system. The periodical sensation in the board of control happened a few days ago. It appears that there have been some "irregularities in the matter of ship ~ a? ments irom toe state mspeusary *uu that sales of liquor bad been made io the institution to certain parties. Ship* piog Clerk Black preferred the charges. He charged that the commissioner, Mr. Douthit, had sent out contraband beer, for which no entry appeared on the books, and at another time some beer was put in a buggy and no record ma^le of it, other charges were made practically to l he same e?f=ct. These>re small matters, and were explained to the board to it^ satisfaction. The point, however, is that these dispensary employees are forever making charges against one another, and the public would like to know why it is. A Virginia mob actual'y ended a tr??i in a rv>nrf of instice. The mob ** *w* "" "" *"" tf went to the court house, ordered that the trial of a man for having attempted to assassinate a Mormon elder must stop, and the Mormon wa3 taken out and told to leave, acd that there was no law in Virginia for the protection of Mormons. The conflict of authority between the regular channel for administering law and mob law is sharply drawn in this case. How much further will it go? i fTnavn ITorr Tv j rn. l I lftC.A9UUC>a X' iiUDj VI u?u well, will command the highest respect. He reported tbat his predecessor, his own father, wa? a defaulter for aboat $i.000. It was a painful duty, bnt he did not flinch. The weather bureau annouiced the last '>f August that the backbone of summer had been broken. Monday, Tuesday and Weduesday (the 4th, 5th and 6th) it showed a very strong backbone. Exgl^t> does not propose that the Unisei States shall have a monopoly of "tbe benevolent assimilation policy," and ]England will try assimilating the Boers. Flaying c*rds have advanced from 5 to 10 per cent. Perhaps, it would do bo harm if tbe advance wa3 100 per cent or even more. Many of onr correspondents are very delinquent.

M-17 1 nnin nrrnnimn ; m mmi) BY CONGRESSMAN STANYARNE WILSON OF THE FOURTH SOUTH CAROLINA DISTRICT. The Payne-Hanna BUI?Its Provisions Fully Explained and the Entire Snbject Handled in an Able and Statesmanlike Manner. GtctnzUU Daily Times. To the Editor of Ihe Daily rimes: I lake this my first available opportunity to comply with your request or snggesiion, contained in a recent issue, that I contribute to your columns an article upon the subject of ship subsidies. The subject is a very large one, and its full treatment would require much time and more of your space, than I should like to oonsume. I therefore try to give your readers an uuadorner general view of tbe subtrifh-vnt trnincr into details, but whic'), however, i hope is sufficient to place them in possession of essentials. Th-, subsidy niea ure before congress is k.iowu as t^e Hanna-Payne subsidy bid. Ii provides t?iar the secretary .-f the trea-ury may e:: er Int> 20-year contracts with prcse.it American owners of sh;p* a?.d with ci iz-jns v. no propose to build ships within th-' next live jears, by vvt.ic'i the government will pay cac.i of ihurn a bounty or cents ptr ?m pur 100 nautical ini'cs for t!;e firs: 1,500 mile?, hui! one cent for every addi lional J00 ;3ile?, both for the outwa^.i and the :eiurn voyage.

Tbecwne.s eontractiug are required to give bo ;d jo add to ihe tonnage of the country <o the extent of at .'ei?t 25 per cent. of their present holdings. The bili aho aliows foreign built ships of vfrch 30 per cent, of tbe stock was owned b) Americans, or ships contracted for iu foreign yards by Ameiicms, on or before December 1st, 1898, t > be admitted 10 American registry, upon condition tint the owners acquire the whole title and also lhat tbey contract (o build within five years at :easl 50 per cent, of the amount of tonnage so admitted to regislry (tbe foreign tonnage here contemplated is supposed (o amount to about 200,000 tons). It also provides that the ships shall be subject to enovention by the government: that is, to be drafted into sprvice iu time of need, at a fair valuation. The othi.r features of thj fci!l are not important. It contains tvo innovation? ripou (ha law and marit'DC methods of this country: (1) It bestows a ship bounty, variously estimated at from five to eight million dollars per year lor 20 years. (2) It admits foreign ships, already owned by Americans to American registry. ic was prepared oy a cuiluuiucc ui shipowners and shipbuilder?, and introduced in the feuafe by Senator M. A. Hanna, of Ohio, and in the house by Congressman 6. i l'ayne, of New Yotk. The committee on comment of the Senate and the committee on merchant marine and fisheries of the house mads favorable reports upon the b:: 1 in the las' congresa, but they were Lever considered. The presumption is that tbey will be again introduced next session. The Republican party will be divided over it, a small minority of thein opposing it. Tha Democratic oartv wiil oopoj-e it, almost soli.ily, with the possible exception of a few eastern members. It is not likel} to pass. Both panies and all members are agreed that our foreign commerce will be increased, by increasing the number of ship9 car. ying the American flig, for, as a gei eral rale, 4\rade follows the flag." It cannot be denied that our foreign commerce is somewhat ridiculous i>i its comparison with that of even fifth rate r.oweiv, and that to a certain exrent that condition is attributed ne decline o' <?ur ?h'DT)inir interests. -Vc have bat 3? per cent", of the fchip t^nc&ge of the wor <1.

However, I shall no; make an argument? >pace forbids?but, s-LaJl simply preset the facts and reasons j wbicD may b1 offered for and against the subsidy > ropositiDn. The home of onr -hipping interests, aside from Iho great lakes ana river.-, is New England, tbe North Atlantic! and recently the North Pacific. 13 ~ inheritance from the Dutch (who at the close of the 17th cenlury owned] - -C G* _ uail vl uuiuye a luniiU^v;^, u. ihose who resided at Levden, New Englanders .vere from llio beginning shipouilders. As early.a? 162i Cradock had a shipyard at Medtord. In 1G36, the Desire, bailt at Marblehead, was cDga^ed in bringing1 slaves into the ccnuiry. (bee I Naval War Records, voi. 1, page 367.) During the era of oar golden days upon the sea? that section had a practical monopoly. Iu Carroll's Historical Collections of South Carolina, Ih-jre is this extract: "Bat with all this trade, we have few or u j ships of our own?we depend in great measure upon those seat from Great Britain or such as are i.uilt in New England." These eectic is would ba the chief beneficiaries of government aid towards sbipba Iding, (hough Ohio and other states u^on the great lakes would reap largely Irom it. The rest of the country, and especially the inland 6tates, would receive but resultant and more or ies.^ remote benefi's. The argument brought to bear npon tLern is "the {renei.il good of the country from an enlarged commerce," the same argument which avails them in the nroDDsed ?eizire and "benevolent as simulation'' ot (he Philippine?, now in progress. Thecffectof the Diugley tariff act of Jane, 1897, has been five-fold: (1) to reduce the amount of import dunes col'ec'cd at oar cnstom houses from $2.16 per cip'.uim (wlvch had been the average to :he previous 20 vears) to $1 40 por ? ;pitum; (2) to correspondingly de<. eased importations; (3) to pro lanto <v rifine our ptople to the purchase and consumption of our own manufacturer-; (4) to the same extent, to take from e.;r produce sellers and manufacturer- their farmer foreign I markets, and (o) to force them to | seek othor markets. This last eflfeet J h= tho rtans,^ of ihi? administration I reaching out for the Philippines. With that new market opened up, new ships to reach them wili he ths imperative need of the couutrj?a necessary accoinpanimcst Hence the llan na-'Payne su'j^My bi'J. The Spanish i and Philip;>i??e wars have already in-! creased the. expe; .se; of the govern-j ment from $5 a hea<- to $5. The pro- ! posed subsidy will add to that burden. I The benefits of the subsidy will go j almost wholly to the few shipbuilder* ! and shipowners; while the increased taxation, like that resulting from the war, will be distributed to all. Howsver, it is admitted by all that our shipping interests should be re vived. Our only way of comiaanicatiug with 90 per cent, of the people of the world U by ships. More than 85 per cent, of our foreign commerce is carried on by foreign ships. In 1S46 we carried SO per cent, of it and 66 per cent, of it in 18GG. In 1S97, of onr $1,714,329,043 of exports and imports, ~? /?oT.r???ri nnlv 11 nf>r cent. UU1 YCSOCiO vauivu v ? r Of thy total vessel tonnage of 39,331.041 entering and clearing our seaports iu foreign trade for the fiscal year, 1897, onr part was only 7,24S,62S, or IS per cent, of tbe whole. Daring that year only seven steamships bailt in this country crossed the Atlantic or Pasific. Of tbe sixty ocean passenger i and freight lines plying from New York, only seven are American. But is this sibsidy tbe remedy? Its advocates assert that it is, aud that it is tbe only one. History and experience are appealed to. Oar first congress in 17S9, in order to encourage shipping, imposed 10 per cent, duties upon goods imported in other than Ame:ican ships, jast as England was doing to protect her ships. This continued until 1S2S, during which period our ships (wooden) attained an aversga of 90 per cent, of our commerce. In that year, by conditional treaties with Eoglat'd and other countries, that Jaw was suspended, a --iuanuuio reciprosity" being established, which in effect abolished the "additional import" or discriminative daties. Those duties remain of force, but can be abrogated upon notice of one year. The "encouragement granted by the discriminating daties has not existed since 1830. In ISio a subsidy act was passed, which continued of force until its repeal iu 1S58. During that period [ American ships received in subsidies - ~ an average of a year. iu meet tun, act, England raised her subsidies from au average of $3,000,000 to an average of So,000,000 a year. The act failed to meet expectations and was repealed. Would it not fail ugain? Great Britain catries 56 per cent, of the commerce of the world, owns half the tonnage of the world, has 15,000 [ ships afloat and dominate# ono-third of the world's population. She pan afford I at any lime to double otr subsidies with countervailing subsidies. Her foreign commerce is her chief dependence, &s agriculture is ours. Her 50 years' advantage cannot be cosnterbalanced bv subsidies. To be fcffec-. tive, they would have to be enormous. Her payments to her ships lor man and subventions now amount to $4,000,000 a year. We pay ours (the Amarican Line) $757,000. It is contended that American ships cost more in construction and more in operation than European ships, and that a subsidy is required in order to equalize them. The facts are, we have recently sold to Eugland sheet plates for the construction of her largest steamship. H'e produce and make the bsst and cheapest plate in the world. Our ship builders umlerbid English, French and German builders, in competing for Japanese and Russian contracts. We build war ships as good and cheap as any. It is true our work-1 men and sailors are belter paid than i those of Earope, bnt they are better mate:ill and do quicker and better work. They were paid higher tban tho^c of Earope in the years between 17S9 and 1830, when our shipping held the seas. England, our successor, to-dav pays better wages than any of the countries she lead?, except American. Thi good wages of oar workmen acd sailors cannot, therefore, be ussd as a plea for subsidies. Toe profits to the builders and owners would be immense, as the subsidy compensation would amount to more than the entire expense of operating ih3 ships. The indirect benefit to the people &t large ? is not so apparent or substantial as t") induce them to make sach extravanu.,t mj fi'rwn ih?> nrihHfi t.rftas ury for private emolument. The coaipa-n* which will be the chief recipient of it, to the extent of two and a h*lf niiliou* a year (the luternatioj.al Nivagiiioa company) now has 1? liip< in scrvice, 8 under the Arnericm lhg ami 10 under fo-.eigu; and it admits that it is prospering, and building lour more snips That company is the power behind the subsidy bill. There were two other features of our maritime legislation of 1789, and thjv remain of fore? still: (1) that only American built ships should receive American registry; (2) that only A l.nilf china ehniitri on<ratrd in our coatwi-e commerce. Under the first, our commerce his undoubtedly been hampered and rnnch American capita! ha* brcn forced to fly flags o: oliier nations over its ships. The socond l;a-? resulted iu giving our ships a compete monopoly of commerce betwicn the ports of our own comtry (oir coastwise trade), and they have a toriageof nearly 10,660,000 tons, (Jo cnbio feet being a ton.

A deaire to compose something on I the diftorence between tbe morality and general soundness of a country boy and o:ie who Ins been brought up under t!.e itifl lences of city life, has long bee i entertained and pondered j by Us? >nr purpose in so desiring is to strengthen the bands between the' two distinct clas-es as in our nnii?>on it is strictly necsstry for & oirong unio i between tbfj two to insure tbe firmie?s of our social and political advancement; especially d j we think it necessary in our diar old Smtliern Suie?, for what are they but the future of our country; on tbe rising generation depands, greatly, the good government of our country.-* But we have strayed from our first subject. Fir.-*, a country boy hi?, as a general thiug, very limited meaus and but few opportunities to fix and prepare himself so as to bt? competent of transacting the political f.ffairs of a c >untry a? regards an edncation, for if he is connected with the business of a farm very little of his time can be spared in order to procure an educational qualification sufficient to make him competent lor filling any important and high political position.

Then it is an easier task for parents to train a boy and give him that lasting impression of moral conception in a pleasant, quiet, country home where his daily vocation leads him not in the way of so many soil inducements a* in a lively, ru&hing city home, where, as is generally the case, the father, the chief head of his trainers and the one who invariably a bov will imitate, is too d?ep!y ?on?erned in basinets af LdlVS lUKL U1C IU XllHd VI L11U1C liuyvit&ncc than (lie training of his boy.
