An exchange has a column edito rial on the "evil of wealth." This is one evil that we are absolutely igno rant of. Secretary Root, in answer to ;i reso lution from the Senate, submits that the total cost of the Philippine war to date is $170,?2?.f>ri?. And the end is not yet in sight. G. Walt Whitman declares that he has filed his pledge as a candidate for Governor, but, being short of cash, he didn't pay pay his assessment, but promises to contribute $1,000 to the committee > expenses if elected. The two campaign parties are mov ing over the lower portion of the State very quietly. So far the people are taking very little interest in the meetings and the attendance is small. The farmers especially are too busy attending to their crops now. and arc more concerned about them than they are interested in long, dry speeches. Then, too, there ate no issues as all of the candidates stand practically on the same platform. Charles Francis Adams, of Massa chusetts, expresses -the belief that in time a national monument will *jc erected to Gen. K. JO. Lee. No monument can add to the name and fame of the greatest American, hut the suggestion of one from such a source goes to show that history will | do justice not only to the South's great leader, but will vindicate the high sense of patriotism which actu ated the public men and people of the Confederacy. Hon. Joe Johnson, of the Fourth District, is representing South Caroli na in the lower house of Congress all by himself. All the others arc at home repairing their fences or doing stunts in the campaign ring. John son taken the stand that while con gress is in session, it is a Congress man's duty to be on hand, and will not leave until the end, although he has an opponent iu ex-Congressman Mfilson. Such a representative de serves re-election. So far as we know no effort has yet been made in Anderson County to secure contributions to the fund for the erection of the monument in Co lumbia to the memory of Gen. Wade Hampton. All South Carolina should contribute to the fund, and Anderson must have a place of honor on the roll. The Intelligencer will receive and forward contributions to the prop er persons, and will publish the names of all who contribute and the amounts they give. Who will be the lirst to make a contribution? South Carolina is doing pretty well this summer in the industrial Hue. The Manufacturer's Record compiles for the past week a list of twenty four enterprises chartered aud about to begin business. Among them are two oil refineries, six oil mills, three cotton mills, one Hour mill, one wood extract plant at Dunbar to extract tar, rosin, creosote, etc.. from com mon pine tree stumps: mercantile, sewerage, lumber aud printing plants constituting the remainder. The total capital tii be invested amount.-- In 510,000. - a - Governor McSweency has announ ced positively that he will not \><- a candidate for re-election or for any office. The Governor has made a good record in his office, ami in his conduct of it he has done more than any other man in the State in bring ing about a political reconciliation be tween the people. For this he de serves great credit,and we doubt not that the State will further honor him. for he retires with the approval aud best good wishes of an overwhelming majority of the people. A prohibitive tariff, levying a bur densomc tax on the American people, created the trusts, the more powerful and malign of which are now preying upon the people by virtue of the monopolies which they enjoy through the operation of the tariff. This bald truth of the situation is now being borne in on the popular mind, and the result is a deep-rooted determination for relief. The high protective tariff mit , go. The trusts will go with the tariff, under whioh alone can they maintain monopolies that compel American consumers to pay more for American products than those saui? products are sold for in European mar kets. The tariff and the trusts will be the issue of the Congressional cam paign of 1002 and 1904. Oo this issue the party of the tariff and the trusts will be removed from power in the Government. m? ?a? - ? This is a hard world. Its final gift to man is a marble shaft. The City l'hum?es. Tin- City of An<h-i>i,ii'is ju>t enter ing upon an era of 7>henonienul growth and prosperity, and it is thought not inopportune to direct attention to the condition of the finances of the city nnd point to facts which appear to have bom lost sight of by at least the average- citizen. The floating indebtedness of the city is comparatively nothing, if there be any at all, but the bonded indebted ness amounts to a sum closely approxi mating ?144,000. The limit beyond which the bonded debt of the city can not go is fixed by the constitution at ? ight per cent of the taxable property of the city, Hy the returns of last year $1,*00,000 was the amount of taxa ble property, eight per cent of which gives exactly 9144,000, the limit. In the very near future improve ments, an a result of increase in popu lation, will be necessary and more money will be needed, gem-rally, in the management of the. city's affairs. Right now it is desired by the Trustees of the Graded Schools to enlarge the schools, which will call fur an expendi ture of not less than ?7,000. Addi tional bonds cannot be issued, and it is easy to see that citizens composing the City Council will shrink from assum ing t'te responsibility of creating a flouting debt of any magnitude. If bonds could be issued the prescribed method of petition and election would lie gone thiough with ami theappioval (it! the people would he stamped upon the ?lebt created, but for the Council to borrow money and make appropria tions simply by virtue of their oflicc entails a little tu ore of responsibility and probable censure than most of them air willing to voluntarily assume. As a result, many improvements and additions, greatly needed, may be de layed or perhaps nevei begun. This much has been said as a pre mise, principally, to the following tacts: Fifty thousand dollars of the $144,(NX) of bonds for which the city stands obligated to-day, are the Black Diamond Railroad bouds, voted by the people in an election held on the 0th day of January, is?.?x, to be held ill escrow and turned over to the Black Diamond people us soon as tho rond reached the City of Anderson. It is true that no part of these bonds has ever been paid, indeed, the bonds have never been printed, but all other preliminaries?petition, election, &c. ?have been carried out and the obli gation of the city to issue and turnover these bonds in the event the road is ever built is as binding to-dtiy as any otdigation resting upon theeiiy. There was no limit as to the tiruo the road should be completed to Anderson, aud in the absence ot any steps to relieve the city of this obligation, it remains ol force and must bo taken into con sideration when arriving at the bonded indebtedness or the city as contempla ted by the constitution. In discussing the matter of erecting another building for school purposes, one or more of the present Council and several prominent citizens suggested that if these Black Diamond bonds, or more correctly the obligation for them, was out of the way, provision for this and for other matters that must come up soon, could easily he made by boud issue, but the Council would hesitate to create a floating debt under existing circumstances. It was in lsy? that the agitation of the Black Diamond Rail road project reached its heighth und culminated in a petition by the free holders and the passage of an ordinance Dee. 7th, l*'.?r, providing for an elec tion on Jan. 0th, IMis. The election resulted in favor of issuing $00,000 of bonds bearing ? per cent interest to bo held in escrow. The history of the progress made by those in charge of securing finances for the road, is proba bly familiar to all. Strenuous efforts were made by .Messrs. K ilk by. Dicker son and others associated with them, aud they hud the earnest co-operation of some of our stauuehest citizens? n eu who have always had tin* best interests ot the city at heart?but in spite of this nothing has been accom plished during this live years of effort to give hope that this road will be built even in the very remote future. Indications, to the contrary, in railroad ntVairs, point rather to the fact that the possibilities of building a road along this proposed route, are more remote than ever before. These questions, then, present them selves: Should not the city be relieved of the obligation of these bonos? Why should they stand in the way of issu ing bonds for necessary improvements, throwing upon the shoulders of the members ot the Council the responsi bility of creating a floating indebted ness .* Does not this $50,000 form a liability ot the city which has influ enced and will continue to influence the value placed upon other bunds of the city '/ The legislative enactment of IM)??, under which the election providing for these bonds was held, giants full and complete powers so far as it pertains to the issue aud validity of the bouds, but \\ bet her tin- Council has the power to rid itself of this otdigation hy situ ply passing an ordinance is a matte'1 for consideration. An Act of the legis lature may be necessary. 1 o\wtdes\ilIe Items. On Irt-t l-'riday eveuioK l>r. nnd Mrs .1. T.
