McArthur has in bringing the Filipinos to tho same understanding. Tho State Dispensary Hoard in Co lumbia last week made another "step towards prohibition'' by purchasing 0,000 barrels of whiskey. the largest order ever given atone time in tho history of the institution. ^? ? ? Ittnight bo well for other churches to follow the example of the Baptist. Church at llowimin. Ga. According to an amendment toils constitution which was recently adopted, all of its mem bers are to pay their debts or !)? expell ed from the Church, the. Church being (he judge as to their ability to pay. We are- more than pleased to note that many of the influential Republi can Congressmen are declaring them selves in opposition to the ship subsidy steal, as set forth in the pending bill. Tho prineipnl of the scheme is bad enough but tho bill as urged is a thou sand times worse and amounts to nothing less than robbery of the Treas ury._ The work of the Southern Industrial Convention, ill session in New Orleans last week, was of national importance and will accomplish great good. Tho convention was largely attended by representative men of every Southern State, and tho many subjects brought before it were discussed in an able and interesting manner. The convention will hold its next meeting in Memphis. -m -am We see it stated that a movement is on foot in New Orleans and elsewhere to have eotton seed quoted in the mar ket, the same as cotton is quoted. The New Orleans exchange will proba bly adopt a regulation providing for such quotations. The cotton seed in dustry has now grown to boot' so much importance, that the need of some authoritative guide in prices is seri ously needed. When tin) southern farmer gets out of debt entirely, ho will be able to sell or hold his cotton at his pleasure. In order to make his position more secure, the farmer should raise his supplies at home, so that he will not have to go in debt ngain while making his cotton crop. When the farmers of tJie South are entirely independent, they can stand together and insist upon getting what their cotton is worth. Cotton ought to bo worth as much in tho South ns it is in Liverpool, less the freight and charges incurred in getting the staple to that harbor. Senator-elect Bailey's notion of re habilitating tho Democracy is through a "process of elimination, substruction, nnd addition." A good idea! Elimin ate the Populistio fads and the 10 to 1 fallacy. Substrnct tho "personally conducted" campaign of tho Presiden tial candidate Add tho Democratic principles nnd policies that vivified tho party from the days of Jefferson to tho time of Cleveland, hut which wero laid aside in favor of fusion and frenzy in 1890. So shall tho party regain tho people's confidence. ' Tho Philadelphia lleeord, always a close and sympathetic observer of every sign of prosperity in the South, considers this section one of the most progressive and hopeful parts of the country. It holds a very high opinion of the advantages and possibilities of the South both for agriculture and Manufacturing enterprises. It gives us pleasure to quote tho following par ngrapli from a lengthy article in the lieeord as to the rich and varied agri cultural production of the South: "The volume of this wealth is insufficiently realized in other parts of this country. Consider the one item of cotton; it is not likely that the year's crop will fall below 0,000,000 bales, and it is probable that the prico will average at least S?O a bale. Thus from this one product the south will bo enriched to the extent of $450.000,000! It is no wonder, then, that so many new enterprises are under way, and that business houses find it possible to replenish stocks at frequent intervals. The South, to use the French phrase, bus found itself at last, and having gotten on tho high road of prosperity, does not propose to* lose its way." There is no doubt that the South is more self supporting now than ever before, and our people must continue their efforts in .hat direction. It is the ambition of all boys to bo num. Do they ever think what con stitutes man? The idea of most boys is that a man is one grown in years and size, free to come and go and act without, parental or other restraints: Boys should bo taught that these things are not all that, constitute man hood. It is something more than ma ture years, nnd size or personal free dom. True manhood is made up of character?of human excellent'??of good behavior?of gentlemnnliiiess?of honesty?of truthfulness?of desire and ability to do good. Whatever that person's calling, the lust thought Bu?u?? be, bo u good lUllll, a useful man, a true man in every respect and at all times, lie may bo a poor man so far as this world's goods are con cerned, and yet be an ideal man, a /pure man in thought and action? standing before God and man as ono determined to do his whole duty to his fellow creatures as far as his circum stances nnd ubility will permit. A man, clean in mind nnd body, may defy tho world and bo respected by every oti?'. Let boys keep an ideal of this kind of manhood over before them, and endeavor to imitate him and his virtues, and they will be likely to upend their days in happiness and possess au ideal family and home. Portman Shoals. In the olden day h patriotic souls ac costed each other with, "Good morn ing! How is the country?" in these latter days people in I'ortman say, "How is tin* dam?" The dam is pro gressing; longer, higher, thicker. To a casual observer the once ungainly, eumheroiiH looking thing has partaken of sentient life. It has roused itself from its lethargy, shaken itself into cognizable shape, and sprung a space that is extremely commendable. The contractor, he whose lu-art most go down with the suns of short days, and breath, contract with the labor of short hours, he must be glad. The engineer or inspector, he whose eye follows the ! lino of beauty, whose measurements scale the construction with an accuracy bordering on infallibility, lie must be triad. The visitors, those home-bom tourists, who.se hearts and eyes mo rarely satisfied with home grown won ders?even I hey, with their "Obs and Abs," most bo glad. The power house beside the wall?liko Napoleon beside the pyramid?once an object of inter est now winks into insignificance. Yet the power house struts around in its little day, makes its herculean, gyrat ing noise, summing up in sound what it lacks in size. The power house is i not little; it is of goodly size, jrray stone construction, prettily facaded, pleasing in contour and dimensions; but ?the cynosure is the dam. With the inception and growth of the dam has enlarged the importance of I'ort man. In the country the stroller, lacking in knowledge or in quest of ! sport, interrogates the "tow-headed ! boy" with, "Sonny, in which direction ! are. the works?" An honest contempt [ lights tin; child's eyes; he is not inso- { lent or ill bred; the bid is proud. He1 musters patience for a momentary in- 1 spection, hesitates as to whether yes or no the question deserves a reply, then mantelliug around him his pent up dignity, taking care that his iccinesa ; shall not freeze himself, he cuts like u ' Kansas blizzard and snaps over his shoulder, "You mean I'oi'tmau, don't yon?" Hut. this is not a puff for I'ort nian. I'ortman is not for sale. There an; in it no town lots, no laud agents, no refugees for carpet, baggers. A pull' the size of a volcano would not sell it. The people live here as in the Abyssinian Valley; at least they I ?'o no desire for an outlet. Schools arc not abundant but nature is every where. Amusements are lacking, but the negro is here. Work is abounding and laborers plentiful. Every man has enough, but some want more?the negro, for instance. There are no stores here or, as Captain Bill Arp hath it, none to speak of. The inhabitants of the happy valley do not compete, they leave this plcbian instinct to less exclusive citizens. They, the people, shop in Anderson; they liko the odor of new goods, tho glimmer of tho brand now stamp, tho chic of Parisian nov elty, the effectiveness of bright win dows. They are connoisseurs, tho residents of I'ortman. They have no newspapers; they have heard there is a "devil" among printers, and in the bright lexicon of Ii reside vocabulary tho term would bo obsolete, or nn innova tion, and tho profession condemned. When they have news they send it to an Anderson paper, when they have nono, thoy reserve tho lack to the selves. Thoy have made friends with tho correspondent of tho Andkkson Intkli.IQKNCBlt, hnvo told him that oc casionally they have notes, dots, items, such as grace tho portals of other nota ble cities, made visible in tho columns of a newspaper; that if tho correspon dent waits he shall have them, that ho must take nothing by force, to which he has pledged his sacred honor. Ho has informed them he will receive all favors at I'ortman Hotel, thatpacknges of news not exceeding 1 lb. of manu script may bo lett at the door or on tho hall table, and private conversations j or disclosures will bo accepted in tho parlor. Up to the present dato but; two notes, dots or items have ben ro- ' ceived as follows : Mr. Frank Mnyesand Mr. R. T. Long were on Sunday last, Dec. tub, in An- ! derson; that Mr. M ayes had an object; ', it had blue eyes ami a lot of light, wavy hair.

Lee has been quite ill; also, that his wife, Mrs. Lee, has in her possession a copy of the original Christmas poem sent to the Presby terian Church at Piedmont, S. C, for the use of their Sunday School. The correspondent has requested the iirst appearance of the poem for the As tiKKSON Intki.moksckk, believing there aro many little girls and boys outside the circle of Piedmont who will be equally glad to read or recite the Ptory of "No Santa Claus."
