We very much admire the persistency and the energy which is displayed by the editor of the Charleston Post in his efforts to bring to the front his candidate for the United States Senate. We sympathize witl him in liis efforts t<? arouse the stati press tn the importance and advisability and the necessity to stand uj; to one of their own members. Wc should all assist the editor of the Post in liis efforts to gratify the ambition of a brother editor. But the Post seems to luive been more successful in securing foreign endorsement, as note the following from the New York Herald: "South Carolina Democracy would strengthen their organization and gratify the rank and file of the party throughout the country by sending a man of Majoi Hemphill's high character and ability to the senate as a counterpoise ti the impetuous and fiery senior senator." And this appeared in the Sunday Ilernld at that. Wc believe that the Bamberg Her aid has hurtled all bridges behind il and pledged undying support to tin Post's candidate. The Herald am News would have been in line lonj ago, but for the fact that we hav< made il a rule of our existence t( stand hy Newberry men, who always have political ambitions, and as w< never fail to furnish our full (plots of candidates for all of the positions in the "ill of tlu? people of Soutl Carolina, we have been waiting t< *ee il' wo could not hear a nois< around Newberry, which sounded lik the fluttering of a senatorial candi dale or two, hut not having heard an; such noise and the lime being so nea for the alignment to be made, wi have about decided to drop in lin and put our shoulders to the wheel which is being turned by the Charles ton Post in the interest of Majo Hemphill's candidacy for the Unite* States senate. That is about as nea as we can, just at this time, come ti committing ourselves. We observe that the people o Sup'iiierville, away down near Cliai lesion . are making complaint becaus "of lit,' screaming of whistles ant other disturbing noises of the pass ing train* at .-ill hours of ,ue night.' We suppose if the ma\er of the cit; resides a:'/where near Jhe?e scream ing iini <c> h.. " ill soon have as ordi nance passed, 'eipiiriirr these tvaia to pass {li'-MiL*'i the ci'? without mak ing such i.ticai1.hlv le'is'.s so as no disturb the peaceful slumber of (h <piiet inhabitants. We recall Ilia some years ago the Atlantic Coas Line i:s?d to pa-s around the city o life'iat. ltd with its night trains bo cause i he noise of the t'ain.s passitv Ihroti^li would have kept the iahabi t:?nt< awake of nights, and as a re suit pa .-mongers for Richmond had t be awakened about three o'clock i lie ii:o?nitig awl transferred to a da, coach and rtt i oiiietlv into the cit\ Il will he well lY.r the slate' it pass a law, requiring all persons t be in their homes if they have out by ! o'clock at night and to remai tli"/!' .1 j11iI sunup the next inornin an I o stop all ol <1 mgl.'l wor a:nl .*> *.'I;?

We observe the following pan graph from the fJreenwood Index: Spartanburg county has voted t issue $200,000 in bonds for the put pose of improving the roads of tit ^ county. Spartanburg evidently dot not believe in waiting on Senate Latimer's Federal aid scheme. Spai tnnburg county is as progressive n Spartanburg city. This latest mar of progress puis that county rigl at the top. It has been there fc sometime so far as this state is cot corned. The reason? Spartanbur people do not mind spending mono to get money. The Index, like The Herald an News, was a liftle previous in il commendation of the people of Spai tnnburg. It seems that later info mation shows that the proposition t issue bonds for the building of roar was voted down. We regret that tli Spartanburg people by their vot( did not make it possible for tli words of commendation, spoken b the Index and The Herald and New to remain and to he true. ' As a matter of fact the vole indi cates that the city of Spartanbnr really defeated the bond issue, thoug a very liyht vole was polled through out the county. We suppose it is just as we state 1 sometime ago in regard to Anderso -?that everybody is suspicious of e\ : crybody else and is afraid that hi neighbor will get the advantage c the good roads before he does, an therefore, nobody will get it. We car not make any substantial progres , until we get out of such narro' I grooves and become broad enough nc ( to be envious even if the good work o improvement should sljik our neighbor before it hits us. (Sou roads in any county and in any poi , tion of any county will benelit all o the people of that county, just lik | good streets or some good streets i any city will help all the people i that city, and yet, we lind in sum , cities that people are opposed t , street improvement, because the fear that the street in front of sonu body else's door will he improved bt ^ fore the one in front of their ow door will. We cannot understand the narrow f ness of such a position, yet we cat ) not close our eyes to the facts. W only hope that these conditions wi soon pass away. Mr. Wallace C. Tompkins is a pa1 L riotic citizen who has the welfare i j Kdgeliel l at heart. He will donat 1 one hundred acres of land for a tro r ley lino from Augusta, Kdgelicld, Si , luda tt? Newbe-ry. We hear of othei , who are ready to aid in a like manuc ^ and others with cash. Kdge.liehl ? surely awakcuiugj?Kdgetield News, i There will be no dilliculty in seen 3 ing a right of way to any compaii i that will build the road. We men > from Kdgeliehl to Whittnire. T1 a people in the country are very an; L. ions to have this road built and wi . give all the aid and cooperation i ^ their power. A gentleman from No. v remarked the other day that the pei 0 pie out his way would be willing to I e taxed if necessary, if they could I | assured of the road. We should have the road bed whic r has already been graded from here I 1 Augusta. Tt would help a great den r There might be necessity for a ft' D changes but the work that has bet done would be of great help. We hope (!ov. Sheppartl and h j. committee will get the in format i< they are to seek and that a.ioth meeting will be held and some pra lical plan such as suggested by (!e Butler be adopted so that we may g , to work. A construction company with tl right of way secured and the line su veyed would have something tany able with which to go to these olh people. We notice that the Cotton (Irowe . Association *d' Spartanburg conn' ( have fixed K5 cents as the minimu P price for this season. We unde stand that President Jordan advoca cs If) cents as the minimum. We slum think that the action of the Sparta burg Association is the wise eour to pursue. If the farmers can r ceive a minimum of Hi cents for the crop we think they will be in a bt ter position to control the situat'n in the future. We do not believe i> ...... would be wise to tix so high a t'igu as l."> eents as the minimum. MR JOHNSTONE HONORED. 11" | We congratulate Mr. Alan Job pl stone and the people of Newher that one of its citizens has been ho tired by promotion to the head of o , of the most important institutions the state. Mr. Johnstone was one the lirst elective members of t hoard of trustees for Clemson colic and rendered valuable service in t i- building of the college. For soi reason the legislature failed to i o elect him and for a few years t state was denied his valuable conns o and work on this board. Sometii 's ago. however, lie was elected to t ?r position of life member on the dea r- of Mr. D. K. Norris and has go is into the work with enthusiasm, k Now upon the resignation of \ 't li. W. Simpson as chairman of i >r board his services have been recc nized and lie has been chosen by t ' ? entire hoard as president of t y board of trustees, a position whi carries with it great honor, much 1 d bor and time as well as added respn is sihilitv. Tn tha* new position \ r- have no doubt Mr. Johnstone w r- measure up to the requirements pit o ed upon him. Is We regret, however, that this po le tion which lias been voluntarily gi 's en to Mr. Johnstone shall deprive t ie people of Newberry county of 1 y valuable services as a member of t s, general assembly for under the cc jstihilion of IS!),") no man can servo i- as a member of (lie general assembly g who holds any position of trust or X h honor. i- Article Section 24 says: I "Section 24. No person shall he <1 eligible to a seal in the general as- A n semblv while he holds any office or - position of profit or trust under this is state, the United States or any of >f them, or under any other power, ex- <p d cept offices in the military and no> tarics public; and if any member shall accept or exercise any of the w rtaid disqualifying offices or positions d he shall vacate his seat." S f (l President Z. F. Wright continues 1 be special committee with the transI portal ion committee of the chamber nl' commerce to confer with the ^ u I'-duelield committees in regard to the proposed trolley from Augusta via c Kdgeliel.l to Newberry. It is expect- ^ () ed that another meeting of the several committees will be called very eoon A j_ by the president of the Edgefield meeting, Hon. R. 10. Nicholson. n (Jen. Butler in his interview with Hie News and Courier on labor condil tions spoke a very strong truth when L n he said: "If we could get rid of the II demagogue this country would be all ft right. Why a fellow will get up and a make a speech in which he portrays [. the marvellous prosperity and pro- m gross of the country, and then in a 0 little while he will denounce the cor- ai l_ porations for their terrible opprest. sion of tlie people. I can't Mgure out si .s how he 'stands for both propositions." p. It is a little remarkable that the de- si js magogne should be able It) remain in the saddle in this country so Ions?. ]. r- We are strongly convinced that o. iy r,en. Butler is right when he says hi thai a lot of these fellows who are \\ le constantly denouncing the negro a k- would be almost ready to start a civil il war if there should be any organizin ed effort for the exodus of the negro, S In fact, we believe that the legislature i>- has already passed an act requiring c. >e the license for emigration agents In u ?e be so high as to be prohibitive. We j| believe that the negro is the best farm h h labor that we can secure in this conn- t lo try and we also believe that the white t d. people and the farmers of this conn- g w ry can control the labor without any g n great amount of legislation if they 'I will determine to do so and if earh a is man will do by his neighbor as he >n would like for his neighbor to dl> In er him. Of course the first step in tlii's j e- direction will be the repealing of the t n. lien law and we are satisfied that this t et will be done at the next session of the legislature. io ( i'- Id.
