When it comes to choosing a pres ident for the State Colored College, Gov. Bhiase should give Frederick -his vote, as Frederick voted for him. We . z.re inclined to endorse the action cf Gov. Blease in commuting the sentence of Major Black. He was vindictively pursued, while others, equally as guilty as he, was allowed to go free. ? ? We do not blame Governor Blease foi char ging his mind in reference to some matters he said he would not do. He did the manly thing to back track when he came to the conclu sion that he was wrong. We know of nothing that pays a smaller dividend on what it costs than jealous}'. The man who tries to injure his competitor - in business hurts, enly himself. The public is not easily fooled about such matters, j The Hranchville Journal says: R. A. Williams has accepted a position with the Southern railway at Or angebu:-g. Formerly he was super intendent of the coal chute and bag gage master at Branchville. T. L. Hutto is now filling the same posi tion there. * , It is said the little Japs are jubi lant o\ov the signing of the treaty giving them the right to come to this country without restriction. We do not blame them, as the United States made an unconditional sur render of all her rights in the matter of emigration of Japs to this country. Ever since it was started a Repub lican h is been at the head of the Col ored S :ate College, and he has man aged 1: well. As he has resigned, why not try a good Democrat at its head tor a while. We believe he could nanage it just as good as the Republican who is about to leave it. The Times and Democrat has no quarrel with anybody. Its subscrip tion list is larger now than it ever has been, and it takes all of its re sources to publish such a newspaper as thone who honor it with their pat ronage is entitled to. The prosperity of The Times and Democrat Is a source of gratification. A great many calamities could be avoided It people would only remem ber to do things that they ought to do. In mines, on railroads and in mills it is but little use having life protecting appliances if they are systematically disregarded. Proba hly most of the accidents that occur every year are due to this failing. Every now and again some learned professor or scientist raises the question" whether it was an ap ?pie, orange or some other fruit that Eve handed Adam. The question can never be settled but there is no uncertainty as to the fact that Adam was willing to take the fruit and that five got and still gets the blame. (Senator Heyburn, the fellow in t'he United States Senate who voted against loaning Confederate veter ans some old army tents, says he is opposed to the election of Senators hy the people. He knows very well that he would not be where he is now it the people of Idaho had got a whfiCk at him when he was a cand idate. Just as thoughtlessness of speech and act is responsible for a good deal of evil so carelessness in the hand/ng of firearms, tools and other things is responsible for the injury or d?ath every year of very many people. Those guilty of such care lessness may and do express their deep sorrow for the lamentable ore Baits that often follow from that carelessness, but no regrets can undo the mischief done. When money leads a man to com mit suicide it is generally because he has too little of it. But occasion ally someone ends his life because he ieels himself burdened with a superabundance of wealth. It is a very foolish and unnecessary thing to. do for if a many feels that he has too -nuch money there are plenty cf people willing to relieve him of it. But apart from that any wealthy man may, if he will, find numerous Channels along which he may let his j wealth flow to carry blessings to his neec'iy fellowmen. The Times and Democrat wants it ' distinctly understood that it is uot a Blease or any other man's orsan. It the organ of the people of Or angeburg county, and tries to hew to j the line regardless of where the j chip.5 may fall. The fact that it tries ! to treat the Governor fair, is no rea?on why it should be insinuated thai; The Times and Democrat is his organ. While we shall endeavor to irec.t him with the utmost fairness, \gte- shall not hesitate to criticise auy act of his that we think may be detrimental to the people. Should Be a Layman. The president of the State Colored College should be a layman and not a preacher. By this we do not mean any reflection on the ministry, for whom we have the very highest re i spect. This college is * public in stitution and should b> conducted Ion as near a non-sii Jarian basis as [ possible, even in appearance. For i that reason, and that reason alone, j we think its president should be a layman and not a preacher. In convention with a colored min ister some time a?o in mentioned the name of Prof. C. G. Corbett, Jr., of Allen University, in Columbia, as a good man for the place, but we I have since learned that he was not I an applicant for the position, and was supporting a minister for it. We understand that Prof. Barrett !s a young man and we believe that is the kind of a man that should be selected as president of the State college. But as he is not available we will have to turn elsewhere for a man. Prof. N. J. Frederick, who- has been supervising principal of the Howard Graded School in Columbia for colored children for several years, is an applicant for president of the State college, and from what we hear of him, we believe he would fill the bill. He is a well educated man, and, having had hundreds of children and fifteen or twenty teach ers under him for years,, he mus: be a good disciplinarian, which is one of the requisites for r good presi dent of a college. Prof. Frederick is a son of the | Rev. B. G. Frederick, of this county, I who had the courage of his con vie-1 tions in the dark days of reconstruc- I tion to act and vote with the while j people in their effort to redeem and save the proud old State from the hands of the robbers and thieves that had fastened themselves upon her in those troublesome times. He was true then, and he has been true ever since. He was elected to the legislature from this county on the Wade Hampton ticket. Rev. B. G. Frederick was a good Democrat then and he is a gcod Democrat yet. ?Prof. N. J. Frederick, like his father, is a Democrat, and when it comes to honoring and elevating col ored people the fact that they are Democrats should not hurt, but help them, all other things being equal. Therefore, when the board of trus tees come to elect a president for the State Colored College we hope they will give Prof. N. J. Frederick, of Columbia, consideration. All the older citizens know his father, and they know that he is true, and the son is tracking in his footsteps. The Mileage Act. In answer to our challenge that "those newspapers that Iamenc the fact that the legislature passed no acts hostile to the railroads should point out the need of such acts," the Newberry Observer asks, "What about the mileage act?" We believe that the railroads, in consideration of the fact that the mileage books are sold at a reduces price, should be allowed the privilege of adopting such rules for their use as to them seem best. No one is compelled to use these mileage books, and those who do not want to take the little trouble that is necessary to exchange mileage for tickets, and save the dif ference in the cash of travel that the use of mileage brings to them, should be willing to pay cash for their tickets or pay on the train. The exchange of mileage for tick ets reduces the cost of handling that class of transportation to the rail roads very materially, and .enables them to issue them at the low rate they do. Taking up mileage on the trains consume much time, and keeps the conductor from attending to other duties on his train that needs looking after. Then, too, some times the delay caused in tearing out the mileage prevents the conductor In getting to all the passengers to collect their fare. Xo doubt this would often occur where the stations are close together, as they are on the Southern railway bet'veen Newberry and Greenville. A conductor can take up a dozen or more tickets while he is tearing mileage out of one book. We believe that railroads should be supervised by the State, and made to give all reasonable conven ience to the traveling public. But at the sa"ie time, they should be allowed to adopt all labor saving devices, where they do not endanger the life, limb or property of the pas sengers they transport, so as they can cheapen the cost of transporta tion and freights to 'he general pub lic. There is no use for hostile legis lation when .none is needed. We have had considerable dealings with railroads and we have always found them ready and willing to do the square thing. We pay the railroads considerable money in freights every year, and we have always found them ready to make good any losses that may occur in the shipping of eoods or the refunding of over charges for freight. We think they i should be treated with the same con- ! sileration that other enterprises sideration that otherj enterprises America's Permanent Government. Few people are conscious that the govprnment or cor? titution of the United States is well-nigh the oldest in the world. Of course everyone knows that this is true as to this continent, but not many think of it as being true of other continents, yet such is the case. A glance at the history of other nations will show that their governments or constitu tions have undergone radical changes since this country started on its ca reer as an independent nation. Italy, which then was but a "geo graphical expression." is now one of i the leading European powers. The [German empire has come into being. I The dual Austro-Hungarian mon archy is on a vastly different basis from what it was when this nation was born. France has through many trials passed from ':he absolution of the Bourbons to the freedom of a re public. Spain and Portugal have ?vitnessed many changes. Belgium, Bulgaria, Servia and other natious have been made independent, Russia has at last a form of representative government and even Great Britain, the model of solidity and perman ence, has altered, for the union with Ireland in 1801 made a change in both its constitution and its flag. Turning to the supposedly un changing Asia one is struck with the transitions made during the last cen tury. India, once under the control of the East India company, is now i crown colony. Japan has made a "hange revolutionary In its charac ter, Korea, the "hermit" nation, has be^n absorbed by Ja nan as part of *.he spoils of war, and even China, ap parently so immovable, is waking up and constitutional changes have al ready besn made. All these facts ^o to show that in spite of the pre vailing idea Americans are a conserv ative people, and that they possess a Strength of character and firmness of conviction that ensures an un broken continuity of government.
