IE. H. AULL. KDET1. Entered at t"ie Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as second class matter. TUESDAY, APRIL ii, z9o5. The city council should build a new bridge over the railroads on Boundarv street. It should be a steel bridge. The bridge that is there now has the appearance of being dangerous, and if it is not dangerous the dilapidated appearance of the bridge is sufficient to cause the erec tion of a new one. Maybe it is the duty of the railroads to keep this bridge in repair. If so let city coun cil inform the railroads that a new steel bridge is the thing we want. There are now six candidates for governor in this state. Six is going to be an unlucky number-for at least five of them.-Anderson Mail. You will have to revise your figur es. Or maybe it has been one or two days since you made up your calcula tions. Editor Creighton. of the Christian Appeal, is pouring some hot shot in to some of those in authority in his church. He seems to be after the presiding elders and the method of raising their salaries by the per cen tage plan. He says: "The bold, dar ing, soulless, cold blooded practices that characterize that office, and have characterized it for years past would make the world wonder at the sub missiveness of Methodist preachers and laymen in South Carolina." Pret ty plain talk. He is also after what he terms the questionable methods of raising mon ey for the church by hot suppers, grab bags and such like methods. On this subject the. Appeal says: "The unsavory character of such things very often contribute largely to swelling the volume of the receipts to the shame of the church and the reproach of her members. Extortion and evea fraud have been changed at oyster suppers and grab-bag perfor mances. When Christian people un der pretense of furnishing an oyster supper sell three oysters for twenty five cents the charge is sustained, the case is fully made Out. But it is for the church and will be used for a good purpose, and, therefore, the end, justifies this very questionable means. If the church is going to play the roll of sneak thief or highwayman she. can do it on a higher and at least an1 undisguised scale, if not she should separate herself from those who would veneer and use for good purposes dis honest methods. We say dishonest, because if similar practices were pur sued by business men they would be roundly and soundly denounced as dishonest, and we do not think that their character can be changed by simply employing them in the inter est of the church." We are inclined to agree that such methods of raising money for the church are not always th wisest or the best. The Appeal also thinks that the matter of societies is overdone and that more good could be accomplish ed by working in the church as a member of the church than by so many societies. Christian giving should be a part of Christian duty. Read These. "The Missouri idea means the en focrement of law, and if that law be bad.,the remedy is to repeal, not ig nore it." "Disregard for one law- -breeds dis respect foF all law:Th allowing 9o0i laws to go unenforced we reap a har vest in having. all,.laws broken." "Good men will observe even bad laws. It should be that all men, good and bad, be compelled to keep all law, good and bad, because it is the law.". "The patriotism of peace is just as necessary as the patriotism of wvar. The patriotism of the ballot is even rnare necessary in a free cduntry than the patriotism of the bullet." "Plenty of men will die for their country, but the man who will live for his city and state every day is the man the government needs." "The government never neglects the people unless the people first new' lect the government." N gnornment, city, state or na tional. was ever better than the peo ple made it, or worse than they suf fered i- to become." "Good cittizens make good laws, but no law can make good citizens." "States and cities do not consist of n >rtar and brick and stone, but of the character of their citizen ship." The above are some. of the epi grams for which Gov Folk of Mis souri is given credit. They are worthy of being passed around and posted up and memorized and put into practice. "Good citizens make good laws,'but no law can make good citizens." That is a good text on which to deliver an oration. It is an oration in itself. Here is another one: "No govern men:,. city, state or nation. was ever better than the people made it. or worse than they suffered it to be come." It is the people that make a state and it is great or otherwise ac cording to the character of the indi vidual citizens who compose it. We too often forget the patriotism Of the ballot and the responsibility of the ballot and thus do injury to our state and ourselves. The Millennium Coming. Judge Dunne. the newly elected mayor of Ciicago, is nothing if not :horough-going. He has been elected on a municipal ownership platform that calls for quick action; and he says that if the traction interests re fuse to part with their property at what he considers a fair valuation, the proper:y will be confiscated. Judge Dunne has gone to Newl York to set the east afire with the Chicago idea. In a speech before the Municipal Ownership League of that city last evening he announced: "Before long Chicago will not on-1 ly have government railways, but will operate its own telegraph and telephone systems, and sooner or lat er every public utility." Al:ruria is to come with a ven geance in Chicago. If the millenium hangs back, it is to -be dragged into the present by the hair of its head. The golden age, of which the poets fable, is not of the past. nor is it of the distant future; it is of the near, the immediate, future; it will come first to Chicago, and its aureate splen dor will be radiated therefrom to ut termost ends of the earth. If it re fuses to come. Judge Dunne is going after it with a club and bring it in. Atlanta Journal. We are not so sure that public ,wnership of public utilities is the es: and it would not be surprising if hicago should find that out after the an is tried. If "pulls" and politics "uld be kept out of them and em oes were promoted under a civil rice examination and given posi ions on account of efficiency it would Sanother matter but that is almost ipossible under our system of gov rnment. South Carolina's experi ient of government ownership and overnment control has not been en irely satisfactory to a large portion f her people. The times are not yet entirely ripe for the golden age described by Ed .ard Ballamy when every one should o to the public crib for corn and be' ed from the same table. And where :he people own these utilities they :lo not get better service nor cheaper service than when owned by private individuals. "Out of the Trench!es." This is the fortieth anniversary of the surrender of Lee's ragged regi nents at Appomattox. Forty years f rain and sunshine, of frost and immer sun, have witnessed since hat day the never geasing struggle of conquered people to. regain all that iad been lost or destroyed, until, as i galant ex-Confederate correspon ent expresses it elsewhere in our lums, the shattered soldiery of the ith and their sons have "at last *erged from the trenches." This, after all, has turned out to be e "irrepressible conflict," the reso .te determination of the men and 'omen of this section to battle with idversity and win their way once nore to peace and prosperity. They have done so against over ,vh'elming odds and heavily handi :apped by one dark problem that .ill stares the future in the face. But >t of the depths of those Richmond. md Petersburg last ditches and forth r.m h dspairing gloom of that paralyzing surrrender with its crush ing sense of a hope and a cause for ever lost, they have, thank God. come into the light of a brighter day. It is a story worthy of a master's telling, fit to follow the epic of those four years of battle. It is a recorded achievement and victory over debt and doubt and discouragement wherein men wrought more nobly in peace than in war, thrilled by the one indomitable purpose to rehabilitate the south, and therein lies its great est significance. Those of the old guard who yet re maigare falling rapidly, but they have lived to see their beloved land enter once again into its own-out mi the trenches at last.-Augusta Chronicle, 9th. . Forty years is more than a genera tion and yet there are many left to see the rehabilitation of their native ;outhland who came "out of the trenches" with Lee at Appomattox Forty years ago on the 9th of April. It was a hard struggle and it took men to win the victory-a victory of peace which was greater th3i any of war. There are problems yet to solve but we need have no fear of the re ;ult. This paragraph is from The Hen :lerso,nville H'ustler: "Biueback spellers have been in de mand this week. Mr. Pless has ex iausted his supply and the nooks and :orners of many residences have been ;earched for the dear old book." We are pleased to learn from this ,hat the "children" of the mountains are fixing to get educated. There is nio true education apart from the blue back.-Charlotte Observer. Then you spoke a parable. There never has been a school book made to equal the old blue-back. We have not seen one of the dear old books in a long time. If the "children of the mountains" could now get Smith's rammar along with the blueback nd learn the thirty-three rules there n contained they would be in a good way to be educated.
