A GEEATEE MISTAKE. 1 The Greenville News, in commenting upon our .remarks in reference to our remarks about the new street railway which is now in course of construction in Charleston, is led into f several errors. Iu the first place this is not a "thoughtless South Carolina newspaper." The utterances which the - News criticises were our honest opinion based on observation and experience. Charleston has for years, and is even now, operating her street , railways by horse power. Many of her more progressive sisters have ^ long since abandoned the horse and . substituted electric power, and in 1 following the lead of other cities, we 1 but expressed our gratification tbat Charleston had at last awakened to the necessity for more rapid means of ^ transit between her business and ] resident portions than the horse car. 1 Of all the papers in the State, out * side of Charleston, this paper has 1 l-j cov detrimenfa! to ^ JU&U LUC icaou IU uwj ? the interest of the grand old city by the sea. We love the memories , t which cluster around her name like a halo of glory; we cherish the glorious record -she has indelibly stamped upon the pages our of history as a nation and a State; we re- ^ vere the bravery,the patriotism and de- j votion of her sons? we appreciate the j sufferings which she has undergone j and the sacrifices which her people a have made to keep hostile invaders I E ' from our borders and to rescue the v Palmetto State from the iron heels ^ of a merciless band of robbers, who, I hid beneath the name of government, f plundered the State of her fair name E ?j i? All thpse things I auu 1icx xcsuuivm. ? 0 we gratefully remember and have time and again showed our apprecia- ^ tion in a practical and substantial v '-way: When she was taken from this ^ District and put in the Black Con- ^ ? gressional Distrct, although politi- j cally opposed to a majority of her j people and condemned her methods \ to control the nomination of the Rep- ^ resentative, we hastened to her de- r fense and did all in our power to i prevent the consumation of this po lical measure, going so far as to claim that the business and commercial interests of Charleston were so dif ferentfrom those of the inland coun- ! j ties, and should, therefore, have a J representative in CoDgress alive to ^ the demands of her interests and in sympathy with her business men. We have nothing but the most kindly I feeling for Charleston, but we 1 I are compelled to say, after ma- ] tare considertion, that in allowing ' Columbia, for instance, with not one ' c half her population, to lead her six or seven years in the use of electric street railways, she must certainly ' have been in a Rip Van Winkle sleep for that length of time, and the con- 1 # struction of the road now is evidence i that she is awakening, for which we are thankful. In another column will be found an article from Capt. J. H. Counts r " i urging the necessity 01 aroaaconvention to discuss the best and cheapest means to have good roads leading to this place. This is an important matter and one that should receive ^ the most careful and thoughtful consideration of not only every farmer in j . the county but also the merchants of this town. There is no question about good roads being conducive to t the business prosperity of a country, and it should be the honest effort of all our people to so repair and build roads that will be easy of travel and a convenience to our farming friends. We are satisfied that this can be accomplished by an united action on the part of our people. In this connection we would suggesfc that the County Supervisor, the County Board of Commissioners, toe ^ - townsbip boards, the tax payers gen- > erally and the business men of the ^ place meet in convention and discuss this matter, together with the advis- ^ ability of freeing two ferries on Saluda for the accommodation and convenience of the citizens of the j Fork who are compelled to come to j the court house to transact legal and other business. A good plan, in our f opinion, is to buy or lease two of the s most convenient ferries and make ? them free. The people of the Fork ___ v are certainly entitled to this much at the hands of the county to which they pay a goodly share of its taxes and in askiDg this they are not expecting too much. I If our preference were consulted 1 we would say build a free bridge * over Saluda, but as this is rather ? expensive, and times are hard, we r will be contented for the present by 1 freeing the two ferries mentioned above. r The colored people of the State are making commendable efforts to c > organize a society for the purpose r holding annual fairs at which the 1 improvements of the negro in the sciences of agriculture, mechanics and art can be exhibited. t That part of the grand jury's re>ort which refers to the bad condiion of some of the public roads in he county, is timely and should meet v*ith the hearty approval of all the )eople. The Supervisor is exhaustng all the means at his command ind is bending every energy to put he roads in thorough repair, but vithout the heaity co operation of he overseers and road hands his eforts will be greatly encumbered and he good results considerably curailed. It is by far the better plan .0 work the roads now when the .'ountry people are, as a rule, waiting >n the season to commence farming )perations than to postpone their vorking later in the season when all 1 ' - -- I- a aands are ousy trying iu iuatc uuv ick tell for two The only ray of bope that we can see n the election of Mr. McKinley to he Presidency in regard to the bus ness interest of the country is a -evision of the tariff so as to give imple protection to American indusries. This, in our bumble judgment, vill restore confidence, start the vheels of many factories and other ndustries which are now idle and jive employment to thousands of unemployed laborers. A protective ariff will not only accomplish all his but at the sometime do away vith the necessity of issuing interest rearing bonds to keep up the gold eserve in the treasury. Hon. W. J.
