When they have finished that the city haB another work for them?the building of a place of rest and k< amusement. 0' There are many places in town which could h( be Improved and made attractive to old and ui young. One place, especially, oflers splendid 8C opportunity ior developement and that Is the ?| Old Public Spring behind the Court House lri and City Hall. At present, It Is In tbe "Underworld." Tbe old dilapidated calaboose ^ stands silent seutlnel over ten thousand tin pc cans and rubolsh to burn. Tbe croak of et lrogs and flips of leathei wings mark a deso ^ latlon within a hundred yards of the square. If this place was terraced^ the residential fa mansions (?) of tbe neighborhood relegated to ^ "Pin Hook" or some other alley, a pool built in where llllles and water-flowers might grow, a' oomfortable seats placed In the shady nooks, ^ swlngB and flying Jinnies built for tbe bene- In flt of the little ones, an enclosed swimming 00 pool for little boys, aud such things that In- te terest all, were established?11 tbe civic,league cc could do this for ns, It will not have existed m lo vain.

K Ope thing that makes this place favorable th to developement, is its proximity .to the square. A splendid road could be built be- q< tween the Court House and the old law offices c8 down to the spring.

J Some men are proud of tuelr wealth; some w are proud of tbelr lineage; some are proud ol tb tbelr achievement*; some are proud of tbelr persons, but every mother's son of us Is proud cc of bis opinion, w We are less charitable In regard toitbls mat- w ter of opinion than we are In any rther way. 01 We are prond of our powers of argumentation a: and yet, nlnety-nlne one hundreths we make it are wasted breath, and Idle words. tt When we fall into an argument with any one, we do n:>t weigh what the other man n ' ' BHys?we do not even listen, we must be fa tblnklDg of something else to boost up our it side of the question. How many men, do la you suppose, have had their opinions changed in an argument of this kind? Even the b< onlookers or liBtenerB, If there be any, watch V\ more for amusement than for edification, g< Tbe purpose of such argumentation Is noi L to arrive at truth but to play Brattlebore aud b Shuttlecock wltb words, b! A wise man will not eater Into such a die- a cussion for be knows tbat tbe end thereof If mild lunacy ? tbat nothing Is to be gained sC and something la to be lost by It. it Tbe man who thinks tbat he Is always a right, and tbat other men ate always wrong oj who differ with blm Is a fool. or No man in this mundane sphere has yet ar rived at all the truth. You have your opinion on everything, you do not mind airing It. You are sure yon are right, but do you know that you are mistaken In man/ InBtancei? by what means haveyou arrived at the whole truth? Where Is your particular fc Deplhian Spring. oi Faith, Hope, Charity, and tbe greatest of ai these is charity. At least It is a grace more h difficult to exercise than either of the other a two. Why can we not be charitable In re- la spect for tbe opinions of other*? Wbyeanwe e; not differ from otber men and yet have a hleh reeard for thnlr Intpcrilv nnil hnnpRtv In the matter of opinion? The Gocd Book te< ches us to be cbarltable, and It neltbar makes ezceptlcna nor applies special cases. We are to be obarltable In everything. We ought to be charitable In tc this. m | |< fc h; At Mi Old Home ?i Mr August W. Smith, and his son, Mr. Wardlaw Smith were In town on Saturday. Mr. Smith came in bis elegant aatomoblle to work after his primary interests on Lang u Cane, and his son, Mr. Wardlaw Smith, who Is now a grown young man and.a graduate of r< South Carolina, we presume is looking after some pretty girl, who no doubt is glad to meet so handsome a young man. Mr. August W. Smith left Abbeville a few ?' years ago to build a cotton mill at Woodrufl", ' and his success has been so amazing that it J aooentuates Abbeville's mistake in letting him go away. He has now, a much larger w mill than the Abbeville mill the Btock of vI which is selling at a big premium, but which ai Is worth two for one. He has faith in cotton b< mills and says there is no doubt as to the sue- b cess of a well managed mill. Cl When asked about electricity or a power bouse he was not very decided- Steam was a certainty and coula be relied upon. Electric- el lty sometimes failed. Plans ere on foot to build another cotton factory In Greenwood this fall. ? te The man who is not much Interested In another cotton mill Is not much Interested In Vl his town, ^ tl ta Time Is precious and Abbeville bas none to (a lose.

Mr. President, before ho lumber schedule pusses from the itteution of iheSeuate, L want to make i brief statement. When it was in the senate before, two or three weeks ago, [ voted for the amendment proposed >y the Senator' fmm Alabama, Mr. lohnson, to put lumber and all buildng materials on the free list. Jn the liscussion I remarked that I was in avor of free lumber. When the Senaor from North Dakota, Mr. (Jumber, >f!*ered an amendment, which did not jive us free lumber, leaving the duty >n whitewood sycamore aud basswood it 50 cents a thousand, I voied against t, because it did not give us free lum>er. The Beuate adjourned immedately afterwards, giving me no opporunity to vote for free lumber. There i&B been no opportunity to vote for ree lumber. There has been no imendment proposed for free lumber oday. 1 Mr. McCumber. The Senator will ecall that some time ago I introduced in amendment for free lumber, aud it ivaa defeated. Mr. Tillman. I was not present. Mr. MeCurtiber. Oh. yes; it was irgued here for days and then defeated jy a very decisive vote. Mr. Tillman. If tbe Senator will look at the Record, he will see that be iid not ofl'er any amendment for free lumber, but only one for "sawed lumber not specially provided for," and so forth, leaving in the bill 50 cents a thousand on basswood, sycamore, and jo forth. Mr. McCumber. I did not change that, it is tru?*. Mr. Tillman. I voted against the McCumber amendment. It was defeated by a very decisive vote, 55, I think, or something like that, to 30, or jround there. I still think we ought to have free lumber, and I will give my experience and my reasons for that belief. I know, of course, we can not it. Twelve years ago, when the Dingley bill was on its passage, I voted for a $2 tariff on lumber, and remarked, very much to the disgust of some people and the edification of others, "if thtre was to be stealing, I wanted my share." I bave found out thac I can not get n\y share; that tbe conditions of tbe South are such that the articles and products of the region which are capable of being protected are so lew in number that if we were to throw around everything down there a high protective tariff, we would not get anything like a proportionate benefit wiila tbe New Edgland and manufacturing States of this Union. In regard to this matter of lumber I have watched the result of <be daty. Immediately afterwards our timber lands, wnicn naa previously ueen neglected so there were comparatively email lumbering industries down there began to be in demand. Meii from Wisconsin and Michigan and other northern States where lumbering bad practically denuded the forests of timber, or were about to finish them up, came into the State and bought uj> very large tracts of timber at a very small price. They did this all over the South. Large mills were established and the lumbering industry began to pick up, showing investmentof capital and a large export. At the same time the price begau to rise, a little faster, apparently, tbbn the industry itself. Now, consider lor a moment tbat tne people of South Carolina are in about this shape; the State being a triangle, the upper part cutting off like the letter "A" is largely the white section of the State. Nearly two-thirds of ill? people, although it is only oue-third of the area, live there. They are consumers of lumber and they have no yellow pine or very little. They have been importing tbat lumber from the lower belt of counties next to the sea, and that region is occupied almost wholly by the negroes; that is, the negroes outnumber the whites in Beaufort County, for instances, 10 negroes to 1, Colleton 7, Georgetown 7, Williamsburg 4, Sumter 6, and bo on. In this coast region the lumber industry has taken root and is now very extensively carried on. I noticed after three or four years ol this introduction of lumbering on an extensive scale that the price went steadily up, up, and it very soon became noised abroad, I do not know on what foundation, tbat these lumber men had formed a combination and they would not sell under each other to the consumers in the upper part of tbe State. Lumber is not a luxury. It is a necessity. It is one of the necessaries of life. When I saw that the farmers, who had to build houses and fences and barnes iu the whole upper country, were being charged steadily increasing prices for their lumber, I began to change my opinion as to whether I was getting my share of the.stealinK or not. It looked like somebody not very far away was getting an unreasonable profit out of our trees, ? i-JnU nnof fhnm a vaPVQmflll (illm VVUlULl uau tvoi iuqiu m ?vi j uujw... of money relatively. So my opinion In regard to the benefits of the tariff in our State changed very radically. I believe in the greatest good to the greatest number; and when I saw that the people who use lumber, practically four-fifths of them, wjere paying an increased price, I decided if I ever got a chance I would take that tariff' oft'. That is all there is about it. I do not feel that it is my business here to protect the industry of lumber which, perhaps, involves the interests of 50,000 good and worthy people, as against the 500,000 equally good and worthy people who have to use lumber, and we would not be saved from an exorbitant price, because, I think, those people formed a combination and agreed that thev would not undersell each other. The only reason why we were able, or will be able, to get lumber at a reasonable rate was due to the fact that there were some old field pine second growth left in the upper part of the State and small patches, or small area.*, two or three hundred acres or 500 acres, all through in the middle lower region that the lumbermen had not bought or could not buy at the high prices?I mean the great lumber companies, with their railroads, and all that sort of thing, running oni into the swamps. The only reason why the upper-couutry people could get lumber at decent prices was because a little one-horse saw mill, costiug $1,500 or at most $2,000, would go iuto tbese little patches of pine and saw-the lumber up and furnish the people this necessary, as against these great combinations of capital which had aosornea our umber. I have felt that it was my privilege to explain why I am apparently in contradiction with mypelf, because I voted against the amendment ottered by the Senator from North Dakota. Mr. McCumber. Having stated that I wanted free lumber, having had no chance to get free lumber, I still am against the amendment, because it did not offer free lumber. That is all I want to say.
