, The Spartansburg Herald need have no fear
' of danger to us from tbe Dictator's " Steel
Trap Jaws."
On tbe subject of supporting Bryan, we may
be pardoned for quoting some expressions
from citizens of Abbeville. These expressions
' were made In private conversation and without
any intimation that they would be
repeated In print. We therefore cannot give
the names, but they are among our best and
most respected citizens.
1. A gentleman whose education, social
; position and good character entitle him to
y tbe respect of his neighbors, said : "I do not
believe the thinking people endorse Bryan."
3. One of tbe richest as well as one of the
most public spirited citizens who has done as
i much as anybody to build up tbe town, sald;
i "1 would not vote for Bryan uuder any consideration.
He has no right to be President and
does not deserve to be President. I shall vote
for McKinley."
3. Another old citizen, who was agood Confederate
soldier, and well off today In this
world's goods, said : " 1 shall vote for McKinley."
4. A younger citizen and publlo spirited
UUlUcro iiit&ii, oaiu. x ouan iviv <w>
1 don't believe in any of Bryan's foolishness."
5. Another prominent business man who
holds an Important place In the welfare ol
the town, said:" I am taking no part In politics.
I belong to nobody and shall vote as J
please "?for McKlnley.
6. Another substantial citizen who stands
high in the opinion of bis neighbors, is recognized
as a voter for Mckinley.
A politician who has been honored more
than once by a majority of the voters of thie
county, said, "I believe a large per cent of the
Intelligent people of this State are Republicans
at heart, bnt I am a free sliver Democrat
and a believer in Bryan."
S. One of the best known mechanics in
this section of the State, said : " I expect to
vote for McKlnley. I don't want the business
' Interests of the country disturbed by either
f Bryan's election or his lree silver foolishness."
9. Another citizen who has the good will ol
all of our people, said:, "McKlnley is good
enough for me. I don't want any Bryan in
f mine."
W'e have not heard the following parties
I speak, but we learn that they have spoken
substantially as follows:
11. A good merchant Is opposed to Bryan,
and&favors tbe election of McKinley.
11. Oneof tbe oldest and best merchants in
town, whose oredlt is first-class and whose
estate is well up in the tens of thousands, is
unqualifiedly for McKinley.
12. One of the oldest and most successful
merchants of oar town Is strongly in favor ol
McKinley. He may not vote the Republican
ticket, but Bryan wilt not get It.
18. A citizen who has taken an active part
in many improvements in the town, and who
represents big money, does not want Bryan
elected.
14. A young man who did good service in
tbeSpahtsh war. and acquitted himself with
credit to bis home people Is for the gold stand'
ard. He believes It to be to the best Interest
of the country to re elect McKinley, but
owing to his lifelong Democratic association
will probably vote for Bryan.
Again: we would state that no man has
been interviewed for tne purpose of getting
hla opinions published. The expressions
came from men representing a large part ol
the wealth, the Intelligence and the business
Interests of the town. There may be, and
doubtless are, a great many Bryan men In
town, but we have not heard them speak'
Among politicians there must be Brayn men.
and on election day It Is possible that many
of the men named above may refuse to vote,
or else stifle their own personal convictions
to comply with party demands. But certain
it is that liiu fullu-Mveni'KK to party Hues Is
uotHlroug umou? the representative men ol
th's section.
Tue business men, as a rule, can be divided
as joiiows: a lew may vote for Bryan, a
oamber may cot vote atnll, and some may
vote for McKlnley. That Is the way it looks tc
us Just now.
When a man seeks to be president with the
avowed purpose of tampering with the business
lntererests of the country, he should be
required to take a back seat.
We have no recollection of haviue heard
any citizen who takes a leading part In the
business Interests of the town, or who repre
sents the monled interests, say that be favor
ed the election of Bryan, the Dictator.
Of oouse, It is expected that the politician!
are for Brvan. It is also thnto
accept ready made opinions that may be
furnished to them, are for Bryan. But the
.opinion expressed by the first who is quoted
la our own belief. "The thinking people dc
not endorse Bryan." Those who do their owe
thinking know that the tarltr has turned
hundreds of millions of gold to this country
and that the circulation per capltia is greater
today than it ever was. They do not want tc
see the business Interests disturbed. They
know that It is worse than pure rot to try tc
make out that the gold standard and the Ke,
publican tarifl had nothing to do with the
buildldgof our cotton mills, and it Is foolish
to contend that the unprecedented prosperity
cannot be attributed to legitimate causes.
If Bryan, the Dictator, with "Steel Tra{
Jaws," polls a big vote this year at Abbeville
It Is certain that many of the beet men and
tbeimost representative citizens will yield
their own judgment. We do not see how s
greater calamity could befall this country
than the election of tbe'Dlctator. Imperial
Ism Is better than stamping out the cltlzen'f
rights at the Instance of any Dictator.
Speaking (or the Press and Banner, we dc
not see how any man. who does his owe
thinking, can favor Iiryan, whose platforir
Annoalo fAI? tho WAfou nf oKoatoot frilttt Ar

often defy the laws of the land, comml

reason than for wanting a Job, and destroys th<
property of the corporations which refuse to
submit to their demands.
In Reply.
If the editor of The State, who so oftei
throws his stereotyped epithets at men. wb<
are better than himself, could imbibe some
thing of the Instincts which govern gentlemei
he need not so often yield to the impulsei
which characterize the conduot of the bully
and the braggart. If he sought honorabh
methods he would have no occaslon.to strlk<
beneath the belt. A good cause furnishes n<
good reasou for resorting to tbo lowest anc
the meanest methods known to men.
The right to question any man's Natlgpa
politics lu l'JOO is not conceded to any mar
who bolted the state Democratic ticket In ISi*
and voted with a coterie to overthrow thi
Democratic State ticket in that year.

?? v
Coining; to the Carnival. Mr.
John A. Dkvlin, of Due West, a gal
lant veteran of the late unpleasantness, wai
in town Monday, looking for quarters durlni
the Fair and Carnival.
Pretty Jardiniere cheep at Morse's for Ith<
balance ol the season.
The CnruivHl.
The Carnival opened Its gates yesterday,
with flags flying, drums beating, horses gaily
caparisoned, and shouters much in evidence.
Our ladies made most beautiful exhibits la
the Court House and the public park. They
uuited as oue in a great effort to show their
handiwork and their skill, and most nobly
have they succeeded. The floral exhibit in
the park is more beautiful than could be the
wildest dream of the beauty and loveliness of
the Garden of Eden. Grandmother Eve had
no conception of the latent beauties of nature
which her lovely grand daughters have since
developed in the kingdom of flowers.
When it comes to the fruit question, we
know that Grandmother Eve would not have
regarded a sour apple if she had seeu Mr. J.
R. Blake's splendid assortment of the most
toothsome fruits that tempted the eye or
gratified the taste of man. The old lady
would have: helped herself bountifully and
then she would have helped the old gentle
Ha TTAM Irt hflVA fllAtl of
complaint irom tbe department of the interior
The old lady herself would liave expired from
the combined effect of both physical and
mental suffering because she had nobody to
6end for the doctor. It Is a blessed thing that
Mr. Blake's variety of fruit added nothing to
the appetite or taste of tbe origiual fruit
eaters. As a matter of plain unvarnished
fact, Mr. Blake has the nicest fruit we ever
6aw, It would take an expert to describe It.
Today tbe school children and the Veterans
will be tbe chief attractions In the grand
parade. Immediately after the parade the
speaking before the Survivors Association
will take place.
The parade yesterday was one of the most
, beautiful ever witnessed in Abbeville, and It
[ is Bald that tbe parado today will be a sight
well worth seeing.
THE DECOKATIONS.
The decorations of our business bouses are
very pretty. The Court House Is done up In
fine style. Tbe Glen-Ethel Is fringed all
' around Its parapet walls, and many stores
have gaily attired fronts.
Learning Each Other.
i
Mr. I. Strang, assistant chief Industrial
agent of the Seaboard Air'Line, Is In town,
! looking after the interests of both the road
( and the people. He Is one of those solid
] straightforward kind of men who carries conviction
as to the sincerity of his purpose.
Tbe Carnival which Is now going on promises
to result In good to us all. If we should realize
no other good than the bringing about
, of a better understanding, and a closer rela,
Hon, between people and road, much benefit
, would result. Let the people learn to trust
, the motives and purposes of the railroad menr
and let tbe railroad men learn that tbls people
are susceptible to good treatment and sen.
sltlve to ill-treatment And when we understand
each other, we will all rub each other's
hair the right way.
China.
The situation In China 1b more and more
perplexing.
At Tien Tsin a battle bas been fought in
| which the American suffered terribly. The
Uoited StateB Government is preparing to
send more troops to the East, if they should
. be needed. The President bas gone back to
Washington to meet his cabinet. Gen. Miles
may command American troops In China.
The Chinese are armed with the best implements
of war, and the allied troops may
have a big Job on their hands.
The war with China will temporarily stop
commerce with the United States. In this
many cotton mills of the South will suffer.
Strikes/
The best evidence of prosperity is the
strikes by laboring men. When Jobs are
scarce and hard to find no whisper of a strike
can be beard, but when business is brisk and
the demand for labor is great, strikes occur.
In the South we nave naa lower siriKes man
elsewhere, und the l&ok of strikes la evidence
that there 18 still more labor than can find
profitable employment. As soon as the manufacturing
or Industrial pursuits give profitable
employment to all, then some labor agitator
will propose to make the corporation
"stand and deliver."
SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS.
Hit* the State Superintendent of Education
n Right to Show Pnrtinllly
to Touchers.
i The State Superintendent of Education is
making his official career felt in this as well
other sections of the State.
' There has been some comolalnt at his cast.
iron rules, and as far as we know, he has made
very few new friends in this county. The
peopleilove Justice and fair play. In some
instances tney may see tne wisuom or an
1 this tommy lotaoout higher standards. One
notable thing is the examination papers.
' For instanoe; what would the ability to
answer a se. of questions, like these, prove as
- to one's fitness to teach school?
1. How far is It from Jericho to Con federick
cross-roads ?
2. Where was Moses when the light went
> out?

died ?
1 5. How much time will Uncle Sam need to
make good Sunday School children out of the

6. What would become of the country In

> 7. Can yon give a good reason for con tin u
lng the present dictatorial management of the
schools?
' 8. Why Rbould the State Superintendent's
. favorites have submitted to them a set of
? questions which anybody could answer,
while others are given questions which few
can answer?
9. Which do you think would be worse for
the State, the election of Vbe liquor ticket or
the perpetuation of the present boss rule over
' the schoolB ?
} tlO. By what autborltj does the State Superln
I tendent ol Education order the colored teacb.
era of Abbeville and Anderson counties to
1 Greenwood ? Do vou bnlleve the colored
i teachers did right la not submitting to tbe
requirement?
11. Do you believe tbe Governor did right
- Id refusing to pardon tbe bigamist as well as
) In declining to obey Instructions of tbe State
Superintendent of Education wherein It was
proposed to depose good and faithful officers
' so tbat the said Superintendent might have
i his own pets appointed?
, 12. Do you believe In tbe present iniquitous
law which appropriates 55,000 of the
1 State's money for distribution among the la)
vorltes of the State Superintendent of Educat
Hon ?
13. Do you believe it right for the State
Superintendent of Education and bis paid
9 associates, to harry and annoy the teachers
, for four weeks during tbe heated term, when
they should be at rest, and Irorn unnecessary
expense?
14. Did you have anything to do iu imposing
the whoLp business of teaching upon the
State Superintendent of Education? If so,
please state your reasons ror transferring inn
duty of tbe County Superintendents of Education
to the State Superintendent of Education
? Please be specific.
15. In tbe election of teachers, is It better
to elect a competent teacher, who can teach
the books In ase, or Is it better to elect a
teacher who Is not prepared to teaob the
bookB in use. and for whom new books must
be bought?
16. Do you think it right to go fishing on
the Fourth of July ? If so, why?
