W ?irs ?uni rumors of wars remind UH thai iii?1 Miblc has sahl that this would bethe condition preceding the end ol' the world. -- ? . m lu every section of the country lead ers ul thought and action, honest, thinking men of every class and condi tion arc hastening to ally Ihem.selvr.s with ll ryan and Stevenson. Kv? ry day the success of Democracy grows more promising. The Knights of Pythias Lodge ?it Suinter, S. C., has established n schol arship nt Clemson College. This is indeed a knightly net Well in keeping with th? l?iotlurly principles and charitable k-aehings o? a noble order. These worthy sons of Sumter deserve nud will receive the thanks of all w ho appreciate nobility of purpose. The Nation:*.! Democratic Executive Committee wants only four thousand dollars from South Carolina Democrats to help elect Ilrynn and Stevenson. The money is wanted for legitimate purposes, such as the expenses ol' campaign and the distribution of cam paign literature in the doubtful States. South Carolina can well allon! to stand some of the expense of tim campaign, and the sum asked for should bc easily and promptly raised. The war in South Africa is about ended, btu tho wa mews from the Phil ippines continues to come in ladened with tho death lists of American sol diers. Tho twenty millions tho "stren uous" glory seekers induced tlie gov ernment to give for those "peaceable" islands was but a drop in thc bucket to the mighty cost that was to follow in their wake. What.will be tho 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 ns prosecuting attorney for tho State in the Eighth Judicial Circuit, und the tribute paid him last week by our Grand Jury was a just and deserved one. Wo do not believe South Caro lina overbad a moro zealous, faithful or conscientious Solicitor than he, and in voluntarily retiring from the office. Ju- carries with bim thc confidence and good will of every law-abiding citizen. May Heaven's richest blessings bc his portion throughout life. --??-- .> i There is a more general agitation of thc 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. Tho negro is wel come to stay in tho South so long os he knows his placo and has tho senso to keep it. The present agitation can do no harm and it may result in somo good. The country might ns well un derstand the attitude of the South toward the negro now ns well ns any other time. White supremacy will bo maintained in the South ns long as Southerners claim the section ns their home. A pleasing and well deserved recog nition of tho intrinsic and artistic merits of American textiles is found in the award of grand prizes and gold medals at the Puris exposition to the products of our cotton and woolen mills in competition with those of other countries. As a whole our textile ex hibits stood the competitivo test better than those of any other country. With one exception only, in which a silver mr dal was aw arded, every ono of these exhibits received either a grand prize ?or a gold medal. Viewed from any point it is the most brilliant record ever accorded to n line of tex tilo fabrics placed on exhibition in competition with tho manufactures of the world. 1 - - ? Ci A conciso ana complete picture ol' the manifold oppressions of the trust sys tem is given by Bryan in his letter of acceptance: "The consumer Stifters ex tortion, tho producer of raw material has but ono purchaser and must sell nt the arbitrary price tixed; tho laborer has but ono employer and is powerless co protest against injustice either in wages or in conditions of labor; tho small stockholder is nt tho mercy of the speculator, while tho traveling ealesrarm contributes his salary to tho overgrown profits of the trust." Every man, woman and child in tho United States is banefully affected by tho trusts. Every mau, woman or child can bo placed in one of the classes lirynn has enumerated. The class of consumer embraces them all. Some occupy a place in two of tho classes. - m m ?? - The demand is constantly growing for shuttles. Cotton factories are in ti easing at a rapid rate, and it appears that the small item of shuttles is ono of remarkable difficulty to procure. Why not build one of our own? South Carolina can manufacture the shuttles just as easy and just as successfully os Massachusetts. Wo labored long io this resourceful Southern country un der tho delusion that cotton factories could not be mndo a success. That falacy no longer exists, and tho thou sand and one ether things that have for generations enriched thc manufac turing East can be and will ho manu factured in the South. We need a diversification of manufacturing enter prises, and a shuttle factory could bo raado a'success. Little machinery and small' capital wiil bo required. The wdod Of this section, we aro told, abounds in tho best kind of material and tho markets are really hungering for a moro abundant supply. Why not liavo ono in Anderdon? Sept ns Items. '.Time, liken stream, is gii?ing mi." Sept. JW, liKW, and jet it seems as il'il hail been only a lew days .since every thing was chid in glorious array on ac count of that happiest day ot' ell the year? Christmas, and here it is almost upon us. A great many changes have taken place since the. advent ol' ItMJO, and a g iv p. i/ many more will take place before it? termination. Since the beginning of the year our anny, or rather Mc Kinley's army, han "ciushcd" tho re bellion in the Philippine Islands, the British have murdered the Boers, and now the international war engl?? has s woo] ted down upon the yellow man ol' th? Orient, and soon ?ie will be known no more upon earth. While the light ing is going on in distant lands wo have a bailie going oil right under om eyes, the baltic between despotism and jus tice, bul high above the maraud din ot' bal th? can be seen the towering form ol' one in whom Hes the destiny ol these I'nitcd Slates. This is the great and adorable William Jennings lilyan. His whole Ufo shows that he h ts the ?;i?od ot'the America:: pi ;>?;!< at heart ?iud is not meddling in loreign a dans. Thc Democrats arc going lo win one ot'the grandest victories over the lie publicans this year thal has ever been recorded. Truly, we must win the \ ictory or all is'lost. We have been having -nun- ot the hottest weather during ih<! past week that has evoi !? * ii expel ?eiiced io Sep tember. There is going to he a great deni of moving about among our people this tall. Nome are going to Georgia, ami it is reported that sonn- have tho Ti xas lever. A good portion of our people attend ed I he I nion meeting at Corinth last Sal in day and Sunday. They report a pleasant occasion. Cupid has been shooting his arrows at one ol' our popular widowers, and from nil appearances has wounded him pretty badly. truite a number of prospective buy ers were in this community last week looking over the estate of the late Wm. Watkins. There has been an epidemic ol' sore eyes 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 nt home and not depend on some one else. There are sonn: people who cannot live without Unding fault. No matter what subject or person comes up in course ol conversation, they start some frivolous objection or make some sen sorous remark. Instead of trying to be in charity with their neighbors they take malicious pleasure in speaking evil of them. They obstinately shut their eyes to good qualities, while they employ microscopes to discover am; magnify evil ones, and afterwards they torture language to exaggerate what tiley have seen, so as to depreciate as much as possible. They ?lo not, how ever, always speak out boldly, but they deal in inuendoes, hints and ominous shakes of tho head. Instead of frank ly assailing in front, 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. Tho proverbial fault-tinder little thinks that, in censuring so mnli ciouslyand indiscriminately he is only painting his own portrait, lt is a se- 1 cret consciousness of his demerit, a gnawing rage at tho superiority ol' oth ers, Vihich is the real cause of his want of charity, the principle inducement to his abuse. His own heart is the mir row from which he describes mankind. Tho 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 nlwayB speak in be nignant terms, even of "publican? and sinners." It is to his precept that we owe tho great doctrino of human brotherhood. In the ideal of the fallen Lucifer, we have, on the contrary, tho incarnation of malice, hate, slander, ill will, and evil speaking. As the one is said to have como to bring "pence and good will to men," so the other first defiled fair creation with strife and sowed war among tho hosts of Heaven. We never listen to tho bene ficent langnage of one who is in chari ty with his race, without feeling that he is advancing moro and more to thc "perfect man.,r Solong, till we come again. W. C. BARNETT.. Townville News. The Union Meeting at this place last Saturday and Sunday was attended by a large crowd. Visitors were present from Seneca, Pendleton, Anderson and other places. There were no ministers present and as a consequence we had no preaching. Several able addresses were delivered by some of the dele gates. Prof. lt. V.
