The Knights <>i Pythias Lodge til Suinter, S. C, h:!? cstablishi ?I :i schol arship at < lcmso:i College. This is indeed a knightly act well in Keeping with tin brotherly principles a::<l charitable teachings oi a noble order. These worthy sons of Suinter deserve and will receive the thanks of all who appreciate nobility of purpose. The National Democratic Executive Committee wants only lour thousand dollars from South Carolina Democrats to help elect Bryan and Stevenson. The money is wanted for legitimate purposes, such as the expenses of campaign and the distribution of cam paign literature in the doubtful States. South Carolina can well all'ord to stand some of the expense of (he campaign, and the sum asked lor should be easily and promptly raised. The war in Smith Africa is about ended, but the warnews from the Phil ippines continues to come in ladened with the death lists of American sol diers. The twenty millionsthc "stren uous" glory seekers induced the gov ernment to give for those "peaceable" islands was but a drop in the bucket to the mighty cost that was to follow in their wake. What will be the final cost is a question that will touch the heart and pocket of the American peo ple. Solicitor Ansel is now on his last round as prosecuting attorney for tho State in the Eighth Judicial Circuit, and the tribute paid him last week In ou?-G rand Jury was a.just and deserved one. We do not believe South Caro lina ever hail a more zealous, faithful or conscientious Solicitor than he, and in voluntarily retiring from the olliee he carries with him the confidence and good will of every law-abiding citizen. May Heaven's richest blessings be his portion throughout life. - - mm ? mm* - There is a more general agitation of the race question now than ever before. The subject is constantly coming up in conventions, in churches and in legis lative bodies. The question is a live one to the South. The negro is wel come to stay in tho South so long as ho knows his place and has tho sense to keep it. Tho present agitation can do no harm and it may result in some good. The country might as well un derstand the nttitude of the South toward the negro now as well as any other time. White supremacy will be maintained in the South as long an Southerners claim the section as their home. A pleasing and well deserved recog nition of the intrinsic and artistic merits of American textiles is found in the award of grand prizes aud gold medals at the Paris exposition to tho products of our cotton and woolen mills in competition with those of other countries. As a whole our textile ex hibits stood tho competitive test better than those of any other country. With One exception only, in which a silver medal was awarded, every one of these exhibits received either a grand prize ?r a gold medal. Viewed from any point it is the most brilliant record ever accorded to a lino of textile fabrics placed on exhibition in competition with tho manufactures of the world. A concise andcomplctepicture of the manifold oppressions of the trust sys tem is given by liryan in his letter of acceptance: "The consumer sutlers ex tortion, tho producer of raw material has but one purchaser and must sell at the arbitrary price fixed; the laborer has but one employer and is powerless to protest against injustice either in wages or in conditions of labor; the small stockholder is at the mercy of the speculator, while the traveling salesman contributes his salary to the overgrown profits of the trust." Every man, woman and child in the United States is banefully affected by tho trusts. Every mau, woman or child can be placed in one of tho classes liryan has enumerated. Tho class of consumer embraces them all. Some occupy a piace in two of tho classes. The demand is constantly growing for shuttles. Cotton factories are in creasing at a rapid rate, and it appears that the small item of shuttles is one of remarkable difficulty to procure. Why not build one of our ownT South Carolina can manufacture tho shuttles just as easy and just as successfully as Massachusetts. Wo labored long in this resourceful Southern country un der the delusion that; cotton factories could not be made a success. That f alacy no longer exists, and the thou sand and one other things that have for generations enriched the manufac turing East can be and will be manu factured in the South. We need n diversification of manufacturing enter prises, and a shuttle factory could be made a success. Little machinery and 8mail capital will bo required. Tho wood of this section, we are told, abounds in the bost kind of material and the markets are really hungering for a move abundant supply. Why not have one in Anderson? Septir> Items. "Time, liken ht ream, is gliding on." Sept. tfO, l'.KJO, and yet it seems as it it had been only a low clays since every thing was chid in glorious array on ac count of that happiest day of all the year, Christmas,'ami here it is almost upon us. A great many changes have taken place since the advent ol l!KX), and a great many more will take place before its termination. Since the beginning of the year oar army, or rather Mc Kinley's army, has "crushed'' the re bellion in Ihr Philippine Islands, the British have murdered the (Soers, and now the international war eagle has s'voopeil down upon the yellow man of t he * >i ient, and soon he will he known no more upon earth. W hile, the light ing is going on in distant lands we have ;i hat tie going on right under our eyes, the battle between despotism anil jus tice, but high above the roar and dm of ha 11 le can be seen the towering form of one in whom lie* the destiny of these I'nitcd States. This is the great and adorable William Jennings llryiin. His whole, life shows that he has the good of the American people ;it heart and is not meddling in foreign a Hat is. 'J'he Democrats are going i" win one ol the grandest victories ovei the Uc publicans this ycai thai has ever been recorded. Truly, we must win tin1 \ ietory or all is'lost. We have been having some of the hottest \v< ather iluriug the p.i^t week I hat has evei 1m en experienced in Sep tember. There i- going to he a great deal ol moving about among oui people this fall. Some are going to Georgia, and it is reported that some have theTexas lever. A good portion of our people attend ed the l'a ion meeting at Corinth last Sat unlay and Sunday. They reporta pleasant occasion. Cupid has been shooting his arrows at one of our popular widowers, and from all appearances has wounded him pretty badly. tjuite a number of prospective buy ers wen* in this community last week hmking over the est?t?' of the late Will. Wutkins. There has been an epidemic of sore cycB in this community, but was con fined mostly to the children. The farmers will sow another large small grain crop this year. They have about come to the conclusion that it pays them to raise, their breadstuff at home and not depend on some one else. There are some people who cannot live without Unding fault. No umher what subject or person comes up in course ot conversation, they start some frivolous objection or make some sen sorotis remark. Instead of trying to be in charity with their neighbors they take malicious pleasure in speaking evil of them. They obstinately shut i their eyes to good qualities, while they employ microscopes to discover and magnify evil ones, and afterwards they torture language to exaggerate what they have seen, so as to depreciate as much as possible. They do not, how ever, always speak out boldly, but they deal in inueudnes, hints and ominous shakes of the head. Instead of frank ly assailing in trout, they assassinate behind the back. They spend their lives in defiling human nature, like the foul Yahoos whom the satarist has depicted. To believe them there are none virtuous but themselves, all the rest of mankind being knaves, brutes or devils. The proverbial fault-finder little thinks that, in censuring so inali ciouslyaml indiscriminately he is only painting his own portrait. It is a se cret consciousness of his demerit, a gnawing rage at the superiority of oth ers, which is the real cause of his want of charity, the principle inducement to his abuse. His own heart is the nar row from which he describes mankind. Tim best men have been those, inva riably, who spoke the most kindly of their race. The great type of all man hood, whose perfect humanity is the admiration even of Pagans and Athe ists, are those who always speak in be nignant terms, even of "publicans and sinners." It is to his precept that we owe the great doctrine of human brotherhood. In the ideal of the fallen Lucifer, we have, on the contrary, the incarnation of malice, hate, slander, ill will, and evil speaking. As the ono is said to have come to bring "pence and good will to men," so the other first defiled fair creation with strife and sowed war among the hosts of Heaven. We never listen to tho bene ficent language of one who is in chari ty with his race, without feeling that he is advancing more and more to the "perfect man." So long, till we come again. W.
