Tbe Journal and tbe President. Somebody has asked tbe Atlanta Journal how tbeSootb should treat President Roosevelt, it be comes down this way. Tbe difficulty Which the Journal realizes In answering tbe question may be imagined by tbe space required?a double column editorial. Tbe Press and Banner bas not been asked to answer tbe questloo, and It might be better for this newspaper not to express an opinion, bnt we will do so. We would suggest that President Roosevelt do not make the visit. jusi now mere are southern gentlemen ol uvery shade of opinion. While some men 1 have strong prejudices against the President, there are others who no doubt respect bin* and are not so pronounced In their opposition to him. It won Id be unfortunate if the President should come and any of our people should bf lacking id proper respect and courtesy to , r. him. The Northern people wou'd resent ad> affront to him socially or personally, even a' ' they have resented our abuse of blm because ol the Booker Washington incident, the ap- 1 polntment of Crum as collector ol the pori of Charleston, and the Indianola post offlci business. The fact is, the South is not only too sensitive but it is too exacting. 'We hurt ourselves In not taking the larger and the higher view of things. There are three causes of offense to the South by Mr. Roosevelt. First?The Booker Washington Incident. Second?The appointment of a negro to the ' collectorehlp of the port ol Charleston. Third?The Indianola post office affair. Except for these three Instances, where ract or color was concernsd, we believe Mr. Roose- j velt has made for the Sooth an acceptable President. Speaking from a Southern point of view, the President erred, as a matter of policy, Id forcing or trying to force, upon us an unacceptable officer. But the elections In the North prove that these things added to bis popularity In thai Bectlon. Aside from the color question Mr. Roosevelt , has made for the whole country an acceptable l President He Is a man of ability, having the courage to do whatever he thinks Is right. i Theory against blm by Democrats on ac. i count of the Panama canal was to our mind, I foolish, If not idiotic. The caDal Is the great- i est and the most Important enterprise which > is now attracting attention from the American people. The South has so much more i than the North to gain In its construction t that we are surprised at tbe larger and more f sensible view taken by Northern statesmen : than by Southern statesmen. 1 The declarations of Parker about tbe i Philippines alone were enough to insure hi? i defeat. < Tbe South Itself owes Itself something And it should not fight everything in the ' country, irrespective of its merits. The people of the South fall to understand u<? wjpj mo iu lun iuiuoriij, ana canuoi | rule the Republic. ? The recent election seems to remind us ol < the day of 1860, when we went to war. The I South was solid then. It Is solid now. Our solidity may have something to do with I having a united North against us. I As oltlzenB of the South we should not act ' In such a way as to cut ourselves off from all \ the rights and benefits of being citizens of j the Republic. i Speaking for South Carolina, without au* , thorlty from anybody, we are sorry for the appointment of a negro to the collectcrsblp < of the port of Charleston. We are sorry for > the fuss which Charleston raised about what * seems to us a small matter. We are sorry that the President persists In making tbe ap- 1 polntmeDt. Tbe whole protest or objection 1 to Crum. seems unworthy of the good people < of Charleston. The President's determlna. < tlon to appoint him is hardly neighborly, * and lacks deference to tbe South Carolina 1 Senators and Representatives. < Both the people of Charleston and the ' .President are placing themselves before the Sooth In a wrong light. ,f On the other hand, when we remember < that there are seven or eight million negroes, < and that Mr. Roosevelt Is President of all the people, It wonld seem that be Is morally bound to recognize the claims of these millions of people. Under the circumstances, the President has a difficult problem before him. Fire at Clinton. Two of the beat buildings connected with I the Thornwell Orphanage, at Clinton, were < destroyed by fire within the last few days. ^ In speaking of the cause the Clinton Cbron- < icle says: "The lire la tboagbt to have been caused by ' a deiecttve floe, which has been In use since t the building was erected. A furnace was pnt , in yesterday and the new installment tested. It was tbe testing of the furnace which set * the bouse on fire, the blast of the furnace t having been too strong for tbe weakened mortar in tbe tarra cotta flue connection near the roof.)' The tact la, that terra cotta is not regarded as sale in flues. Tbe beat seems to have a tendency to disintegrate, or to crumble such pipes. Mr. Tusten, of this city, had his attention called to tbe fact that insurance ' companies forbid the use of terra cotta, tiling or cement flues and of brick turned up edgeways. Tbe use of such flues usually makes the policy noncollectable. There is generally provision to that effect in tbe policy. Mr. Tusten's flues were taken down to conform to tbe requirements of tbe Insurance policy. Tbey crumbled to pieces and were, as we suppose, In exactly tbe same condition as were the Tbornwell flues. Persons having terra cotta flues, or flues with brick on edges, should take them out, or else 6avethe expense of buylog a policy which ia not collectible. Tbe policies in at least some of the companies expressly forbid tbe use of terra or brick on edge. Charleston Pout Finding Ont. Sometime ago the liquor constables 01 Charleston shot a dray horse for transporting contraband liquor, and some of the newt* , papers seemed to be greatly shocked. Last week the liquor constables of the good old city, while out hunting, shot a few blind tigers. The EveniDg Post is greatly exercised thereat, and, in a mood which we assume to be In dead earnest, pioiests against the kil- 1 ling or the malmlDg of the tigers lu the city of Charleston. We were never quite able to understand Charleston, anyway. Judging the good old city by 1U past record In caring Ipr horses and tigers, we need not be surprised if the newspapers khould advocate ihe lurulng over of the keys of the city to any Democratic animal that the law and order men that might chance to send to the jungles of the cl!y.

In the great state of New York Is to I found a little town by the same came an lb aftbeSHate. Freshwater from the foot hi) of tbe mountains and sea water from tl leptbs of tbe mighty ocean, abound and tl 3lty spreads out over a greater number Islands than this editor can now name. Tl fresh water from tbe rivers and crecfes, ar Lhe salt water from the sea each answer tbe purpose. The waves of the sea are nev weary, and tbe water whose billows are sep rate are united as one on tbe shores th skirt the town. In that cUy are many hole but in tbat burgh there is only one Waidoi Astoria. And so it is lu South Carolin whose geographical boundaries iuolude 11 good old city of Abbeville.

Here Is a bill of fare whii is comprehensive, and wilt furnish proof lli Abbeville's Eureka and New York's Wa ilorf-Astorla are good enough for any bod The program by which the guests ale dinn one day last week is as follows: SOUP. Tomato Bouillon. KOAST, Spare Ribs, Ilam, Baked Turkey, Oyster Dressing, CraD berry Souce. ENTREE. Plain Cake With Sauce, Sherry Wine, bandied Yams, Macaroni With Chees Chicken Salad, Celery, Pickles. VEGETABLES.

Sherry Ice Cream, Cocoanut Custard, Cake, Cream uneese, Nuts, Raisins, Tea, Coffee, Milk. And the dally program is not very dlll'erej Trom the above. Abbeville and New York are very muc sillke In the variety and the superiority heir hotels. If the Eureka has spacloi aalls, with loftj" ceilings where potted flowe inder brilliant electric lights greet the ej ind please the olfactories, so tt is at tl Waldorf-Astoria. If delightful music iloa hrough parlors, reading rooms, and Jobbii U the Eureka, the same is true of the We lorf-Astorla. If at the Eureka the evenlt cephyrsare laden with an atmosphere thi s sweeter than the perfumed air from tl ipicy shores of Araby the blest, the 6an glorious state of affairs exist at the Waldoi \storla. Abbeville Is proud of her Eureka and Ne iTork can hardly contain herself when tl SValdorl-Astorla 1s mentioned. But the music, the spacious halls, and tl perfumed air is not all that makes the Eurefe i most dellghtfut place to spend a time. Tt jfflce reception and the cooking has muc :o do with the comfort of the place. The lessee, Mr. W. X. Mcf'au, nas u jest of help in a good wife. He understate lis business, aDd guests are always please ivith the attention that they receive, would indeed be an Ill-bred man that wou grumble at the table service and the tab lupplles at either the Eureka or the Waldoi Astoria. As office-man Mr. Thomas H. Cobb maki 2very guest believe that he Is special favori ind Mr. Cobb's uniform politeness is on] ?qualled by his anxiety to serve the guests. The cooksat this institution are the be that ever mashed a potato or dressed a tu tey for the stove. They keep things stralgl and do not mix the supplies in the cookir )r in the serving. W htn food Is placed on tl lislies it is not walloped about. And tl personal attention to guests at these hotels enough to please the most exacting prince < he proudest Easieru potentate.
