PRINCE FOR CONGRESS. Wo can now authoritatively an nounce that Hon. G. E. Prince is in thc race for Congress from this Dis trict. So far as we are informed ho will bo Anderson's only candidate, and if elected will reflect credit upon his County and District. Ile is now in the prime of life, being forty-six years of age, and with a well trained and vigorous intellect, ho is well equipped for tho position he Reeks. Ile is not a novice in legislation, as he has some experience in legisla lative assemblies, having been a prom inent member of the late Constitution al Convention, and having served this County for the last four years in tho lower branch of the General Assembly with distinguished ability. His re cord is good, and, so far as wc can learn, is cordially approved by a large majority of his constituents. Ho is conservatively aggressive, and has at all times boen entirely independent in thought and aotion. While a loyal party man, ho is not partisan. While ever considerate of the feelings and opinions of others, he is bold and ag gressively fearless in maintaining his own honest convictions. Hois a good but always fair dobater, and, if in the heat of debate, he transgresses the rules of fairness, there is no man who will sooner make the amende honora ble. The appreciation in which ho ia held in the House of Representatives ia evidenced by the fact that from tho beginning of the first term he has hold the position of chairman of tho Com mittee on Railroads, and a very high position on the Ways and Means, two of the most important committees in thc House. During the last term he was the second man ou the last named committee, and in tho absence of the chairman had charge of said Commit tee and defended its reports on the floor. During the past two sessions he was elected Speaker pro tem every time tho Speaker was absent, and his conduot in tho Chair seems to have given general satisfaction. Mr. Prince's standing as a lawyer is reoognizod by his brethren of the Bar, both locally and in this State. For a number of years he was president of the local Bar Association, and was during the past year chairman of tho Executive Committee of the State Bar Association, and is now one of its Vice-Presidents. His standing and worth in this community is evidenced by the faot that for the past eight years he has been ohairman of the Board of Trustees of the Anderson Graded Sohools, one of the best sys tems of sohools in the State. His in terest in the eduoation of the masses of people is not only intelligent but streng. For ten yeera he has been a Trustee of Wo Co rd College, his alma mater, and while a devoted friend to all denominational colleges, ia not op posed to State Colleges, hie maxim being that of hia great preceptor, Dr. Carlisle, who, aa a representative of denominational collegee, gave utter ance to the following: "We fight none who fight ignorance." Mr. Prince is a native of Abbeville County, hoing a son of the lato W. L. Prince, and while himself too young to have served in the Civil War, is proud of the reoord of MB father, who, as a private soldier in Company G, 19th S. C. Regiment, did valiant service for his country, as will be readily vouched by tho sur viving officers and soldiere of that Regiment. His mother was a member of that large and extensive Clinkscalos family, whose progeny is so numerous in Anderson and Abbeville. Both his grandmothers were Blacks, so that he is, as will be readily perceived, of English-Scotch-Iiish descent, and has thc tenacity of purpose that usually characterizes the people. It is evident that he is fitted by nature and training for tho high ellice to which he aspires, and, as An derson's candidate, wc take great pleasure in commending bim to the kindly consideration of not only our own people but to the people of the entire District. Let the people of this his adopted County give him a hearty and oordial support, and thus evidence to his native and other coun ties their confidence in his worth.ness. It sets the "oldest inhabitant" guessing to reoall a winter that has been more steadily cold than the present one. It is true that the ther mometer has registered lower in pre vious, but for ateady, regular cold the preaent winter ia remarkable. The Dem?crata in Congress stole tho thunder of the Republicans by re questing that the bill to repeal tho war taxes pass without objeotion. Tho Republicans expected tho Demo crats to oppose it in order to tack on tariff reduction amendments, but Mi Hieb ard son, the Democratic leader fooled them. LABOR STRIKES. Nearly every day wo read in thc telegraphic reports of the papers an account of laborers' strikes in some section of the country, especially in the East, North and Northwest. Very few of them occur in the Svuth. Io nearly every instance the strikers de mand shorter hours for labor and in creased wages. It is just as reason able for the employers of labor to de mand that laborers work longer hours and for less pay as it is for labor to demand shorter hours and greater wages. Labor is a commodity in the mar kets of the world. It is for sale to the highest bidder. When there is a demand for it, it is worth more; when there is a surplus of labor it is worth less. To-day there is a demand for labor and it \s worth more than when there waa a surplus. Thc increased pri?e of labor can bc brought about through the inexorable laws of supply and de mand. Men who need skilled labor must be willing to pay for it or go without it; but in order to get that advance uso reason, argument, con vincing proof that is just, and avoid strikes, dynamite, boycott's, black lists and lockonts. These are un American forces, and sooner or later they will break tho backbone of any body of men who try to enforce their wiflhcB through euch demands. Any man, or sot of men, have the absolute and unquestioned right to quit work with or without cause, but not one of them, nor all of them com bined have any right to say any other man shall not work at any given price or upon any given terms. The Gov ernment, as a national body, when it submits to diotation of this oharacter, is encouraging open rebellion. The State, as a governing body, when it tolerates an uprising among a part of its?citizens who say they will not work and others shall not, becomes at once an arrant coward, and tho men in charge of affairs should then and thero bo removed from office. The same is true of a oity government aud the same is true of an organization of business men, or au individul em ployer of labor. Tho Exposition at Charleston seems to be attracting a great deal of atten tion from the people of tho country at large. Cincinnati and Chicago have sent largo delegations thero to inspect tho Show. Tho Governors of Geor gia, West Virginia and Indiana have been there with their staff?and others and all seem to unito on one verdict, that it is as creditable an Exposition as any hold in this country. Illinois will inspeot the Exposition on March 11th, with a delegation of several hun dred, and other States are booked for later dates. The Legislature of South Carolina and the Governor of the State have given their endorsement to the Exposition and urged that tho people of the State visit the Exposi tion at least once, and have named March 20th, as South Carolina da?, with the idea that there should be a grand rally of South Carolina on the Exposition Grounds on that day. It is South Carolina's first attempt to show to the oountry at large the In dustries, Resources and Possibilities of the State. They have been well displayed. Let us all go, and by our presence show an appreciation a-?d in terest in what has been done. We are more than pleased to see that a movement has been* started in Charleston to raise a fund for a sword to bo presented to Major Jenkins in place of the ono that Jim Tillman had secured for him. Anderson would like to contribute to the fund, and we believe every town and city in the State would do the same. A large fund could thus be raised and a very fino sword secured for the gallant hero, who would no doubt appreciate it tho more on account of coming from tho whole State. The President should bo invited to pr?sent it, and let all true Carolinians go to Char leston and give him a reception that would prove to him that Jim Tillman represents nobody in South Carolina but himself. - - O emt The Educational is a new publica tion recently established in Colum bia, succeeding the Carolina Teach ers' Journal. Messrs. Zach MoGhee and Henry C. Davis are the editors. As its name implies, The Education al is published for teachers, school superintendents, and all who are in terested in the work of eduoation. The first number promises we !, and every teaoher, at least, should be on Its subscription list. Within the past seventeen years the building up of the new navy has cost the government $257,000,000. No man with sound judgment and patriotism has ever objeoted to this expenditure. But while this sum has been spent for a new navy the stupen dous sum of more than $2,600,000,000 has been spent on pensions. It is well that Unole Sam's people are of a forbearing nature. Il is olaimed that more votes were counted in the recent Havana election than were oast. Coba is evidently being rapidly Americanized. What the Record Shows. Editor Intelligencer : Tho editorials ot' thc Daily Mail "Previous Dis?gmce?" and "What the Record Shows," shield ing tho Senior Senator from South Car olina, fil.'Mihl not remain unanswered, despite tlie despotic ruling of that pa per in hiving established a "censor ship" excluding such matter as is calcu lated to expose partisanship. ?? ow absurd tho defense of these edi torials is, cnn only be pointed to the "Record" of Benjamin K. Tillman's tactics from tho beginning of his polit ical career. How ne slandered, ubus ed, insulted and misrepresented the name of that noble, honest, statesman, soldier and patriot Gen. Wade Hamp ton, need not bc recited here. The whole world knows it, remembers it, and will never forget it. How he insulted the State of South Carolina and every law-abiding citizen of tho United States when he boasted on tho lloor of tho United StateB Sen ate that his emblem, tho "pitchfork," would be used freely in punching tho fat riba of Grover Cleveland, when President of the United States, is not altogether forgotten, euther. How he taunted the Senators during the mone tary agitation for 10 to 1, and how ridic ulous his assertion once made on tho tloorof the Senate, 10 to 1 or "bust," is not forgotten yet. To nrgue that the Senior Senator from South Carolina is not guilty of aggressiveness is assuming that tho public is not capable ol' forming an opinion outside of tho editorial sanc tum. Tho Senior Senator ia not only guilty of aggressiveness, but ho has/ ever since ho has gained political aseen idancy, insulted every precedent, ignor ed all decency and trampled upon all re spectability; that to shield him is equal to admitting that tho editor of the Daily Mail dare not say anything else. To criticise Jim Tillman, without ad mitting the laws of heredity, is equally paradoxical. _ ' _ _ 0- Geisbcrg. Jim Tillman's Foolish Act. Charleston, S. C., Feb. 27,-Great in dignation waa expreased about the city to-day over the action of Lieut. Gov. Tillman in requesting President Roose velt to withdraw his acceptance of the invitation extended to present the sword of honor to Major Micah Jenkins on the occasion of his visit to Charlea ron to see tho Exposition. The Lieu tenant Governor sent a message to the President yesterday afternoon from Augusta as follows : "To tho President. Washington, D. C. : A short while ago I had tue honor to address your Excellency a letter re questing that on the occasion of your visit to Charleston you presenta sword to Major Micah Jenkins, of tho 1st United States volunteer cavalry, of whose gallant services you spoke BO highly, your words being engraved on tho scabbard. You accepted the invi tation, tor which wo thank you. I am now requested by contributors to tho sword fund to ask that you withdraw said acceptance. "J.H. Tillman. "Lute Colonel of 1st South Carolina Volunteer Infantry and Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina." Washington, Feb. 27.-Jim Tillman's extremely despicable conduct in send ing au insulting telegram to President Roosevelt in reference to the Micah Jenkins sword presentation will proba bly result moro seriously to South Carolina than such an ill-conceived and foolish action would warrant. It is authoritatively stated that no answer will bo sent to Tillman's telegram by President Roosevelt. The telegram will bo ignored entirely. But it is almost certain that Tillman's action will result in the president not going to the Charleston Exposition at all. Columbia, S. C., Feb. 28.-Governor Mcsweeney to-day sent the following telegram to President Roosevelt in connection with Colonel Tillman's tele gram t Columbia, S. C., Feb. 28,1902. "Theodore Roosevelt, President, Wash ington, D. C. "lt waa my intention not to have anything to say about the telegram sent you by the Hon. Jamea H. Till man, withdrawing the requeat for you to present the sword to Major Jenkins, but aa undue importance and publicity have been attached to it, I beg to say that the telegram sent you was not authorized by the State, and the Lieu tenant Governor did not apeak officially for tho State or the people in hia action. "ilia telegram to you was purely a personal matter and neither the State nor the people should be held respon sible in any way for hia attitude. "Mcsweeney." Governor McSweeney's action in sending thia telegram will be h ?artily endorsed by ail the people of the State who value the reputation and good opinion nf the people of the country. It is an official repudiation of Till 'nan's telegram that ia eminently proper nnd indeed necessary. . Warrenton, Va., March 1.-Major Micah Jenkina nae declined to accept the aword which it was proposed to mesent him at Charleston, S. C., when the President shall Wait that place. Mujor Jenkins, who is a member of the faculty of the Bethlehem Academy here, has sent the following telegram to Lieutenant Governor Tillman, of South Carolina : "Lieutenant Governor James II. Till man, Columbia, S. C. : "You aro represented in tho press ns having telegraphed President Roose velt at tho request of tho subscribers to tho sword recently ottered mo th.ough you, requesting him to withdrnw his acceptance to present the same. "ltdhia is so, 1 must decline, under these circumstances, to accept tho sword. "Thanking you for your personal kindness in tho matter, I am, truly yours, "M. J. Jenkins." NOTICE.
