Intelligencer. Fubt?tked ?very WecUMuday. J. F. CLINKSCAI.KB, I EDITOR3 AND C. C. LANGSTON, S PROPRIETORS. TE BM Bi ONE YEAR. - - - - $1 50 SIX MONTHS. - - - 75 WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2, 1902. President Roosevelt calls Recession anarchy and also says Lee was thc greatest general of a?y agc. That seems to be straddling thc fence very successfully. It is said thc compromise proposed by Republicans on the Cuban ques tion will inure to thc benefit of thc sugar trust, which, it is said, has bought thc crop for two years. A little whiskey poured into a tight shoo will stop thc pinching, but thc Charleston News and Courier insists that it should bc poured from thc level of thc shin, not that of thc chin. Thc proposition to make lifo sena tors of ex-presidents at a salary of $25,000 is another of the efforts to change the basis of representation in the satiate. Every movement to dis turb the absolute equality of thc States in thc upper branch of Con gress should bo promptly defeated. In traveling through the country it will be noticed that there aro a number of roads branching out from each other that have no sign board at the fork to direct the traveler. Wo think this a very important matter. There should bo a sign board at every one of theso forks. Wc think it would bo a good plan for tho Super visor to see to it that his road over seers have these boards put up. Tho Sumter Herald timely says : "Mr. Bryan is very vindictive towards all tho Democrats who did not sup port hioi in 189(3 and 1900, and if he has hiB way they will not havo any place in tho party councils in future. Ilili, Gorman, Francis and others conic in for bitter condemnation from him. As Mr. Brynn has about killed tho Democratic party, it now looks as if he was trying to bury it." Col. B. W. Ball died at his home in Laurens last Thursday and in his death thc State loses ono of her best citizens. Ile was a lawyer of ability, a man of high character, who had served his country in peace and in war with conspicuous fidelity and streugth. Of late years in addition to his law practice he has been editing tho Lau rens Advertiser, and its editorial col umns always sparkled with brightness and good sense. -- That grand old hero and statesman, Gen. TVade Hampton, celebrated his 84th birthday at his home in Colum bia on Good Friday. The Columbia State says the General's health has been bad during the past year, but he has oontinued cheerful and has taken a lively interest in current events. Wo join the many friends of the General in extending congratulations, and pray that God's richest blessings may be his portion the balance of his life. Senator Benjamin R. Tillman, it is said, has practically acknowledged to members of tho Senato committee on privileges and elections that ho can not prove thc charge ho made against Senator John L. McLaurin that tho latter was guilty of having accepted promises of federal patronage in South Carolina in roturn for his vote on thc Paris pcaco treaty. This will prob ably end tho matter of investigation, though Senator McLaurin is very anxious for it. From the expressions of thc papers it seems conclusive that the people desire the curtailment of the State campaign meetings, as they have got ten to bo a great nuisance pud very burdensome financially. Thc people have become indifferent, and it cer tainly seems that one or two meetings in each Congressional District would be sufficient, and if the people of any Bpecial county desire a meeting of their own they can have it, but let thc couuty to county business bo stopped. Nexl Wednesday, '.?th inst., will be President's Day at the Exposition in Charleston, and tho occasion will no doubt draw a large crowd to the "city by the sea." One of the chief fea tures of the program for the day will be the presentation of a beautiful sword to Maj. Micah Jenkins. The President has stated that it would give him pleasure to participate in such a orremony, ana again expresses his high admiration for tho gallant bearing of Maj. Jenkins, who was his fellow officer io thc Rough Riders. -A special committee will have charge of thc presentation ceremo .les, and ex Governor Hugh S. Thompson, of New York, has been named as thc chair man of thc committee. Ho will speak on behalf of South Carolina, and he is the largest contributor to thc Jenkins sword fund, which has been raised by Voluntary contributions in and out of thc State, Recently in Washington Mr. Bryan waa asked whether he would he a candidate for the Democratic nomi nation for I'icsidcnt. Ile was quoted as saying that he was not prepared to speak about that matter. This was the first intimation that he has an am bition iu that direction. It would be a mistake for him to seek thc nomi nation. Ile would not come anywhere gelling it, hut he might make it ex tremely difficult for Democrats to get together. In order for Democrats to be successful in 1U04, they must have harmony among their leaders and in their ranks. All the signs iudicate that they could not be harmonized under the leadership of Mr. Bryan. Thc Spartanburg Herald is correct in saying that the Columbia State has "done its ?State some service" in prov ing beyond the shadow of <i doubt that Col. James II. Tillman, Lieutenant Governor, in his official capacity is guilty of deliberate misrepresentation, lt is hard to conceive why a man occupying this high position would undertake to misrepresent a matter susceptible of positive proof. It can not he charged in this instance, at least, that The State is malicious, vin dictive or partisan. Thc evidenoe that the Lieutenant-Governor of South Carolina is guilty of "bearing false witness" is documentary, and it is presented in such a way as to leave him no possihle loop hole through which to escape. Ile stands convicted. Every drop of American blood in our bodies should thrill with the glow of spiritual kinship for tho patriots of the two South African Republics and should animate us with a resolution to help them in their struggle for liberty. There is no hostility to Eng land in this statement of truth. The English are our blood kin, but they are in tho dreadful wrong in their war to subjugate thc Boer people. They know themselves that they are in the wrong. Wc, of all thc peoples of earth, should most clearly seo tho truth that is apparent even to thous ands of Englishmen. Wo should Bay that we would like to save the two South African Rep?blica from extinc tion. There is no moral escape from thia confession of duty. If wo can now coldly witness thc crushing of such a people as the Boers without lifting a hand to succor them the fact is appallingly ominous to ourselves. It mcaus that we have ceased to he Americans of the breed of our fathers. Corner Creek Items. This Spring weather wo nie enjoying now is very enchanting, especially to the farmers, who are anxious to atart their plows. It is March 27th and scarcely anything of any importance has been done towards the making of another crop. Of courao, a few have been plowing, but it certainly was out of order, for tho ground has not been in good plowing season thia yenr. It baa just rained a "whole lot1' in thia section, and we have had a good time ao far, but, oh, my, we "boll cord" puliera aro going to change our tune somewhat now. The merry whistle of the clodhopper o'er vale and hill can aoon bo heard, and then we'll all be happy and content. Supervisor Vandiver haa let out con tracta for the building of two bridgea over Barker's Creek, one nt the ford near E. Hnrris' and the other near W. G. Johnson's. Bridgea have been needed nt these fords for aomo time, and, when completed, will bo of much convenience to our people. Paul Johnson, son of W. G. Johnson, has for tho past week been quito ill with pneumonia, but wo are glad to noto ia improving. Wo note that several have been suf fering with colds and grip. The writor has had a tussle with tho grip, and knows from experience that it won't do to fool with. Miss Leila Carwile, of tho Due West Female College, apont Saturday and Sunday with home folks.
