AS NEAR AS WE CAN.
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;

some years ago the Atlantic Coas

A LITTLE PREVIOUS.
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

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.

m It was not the intention of Kditor
r- Anil to have his knowledge of poker
t- advertised, nor did he expect the odild
top of the Observer would exploit it I
ii- when lie remarked that the number
s0 of the Observer office represented a
e- fairly good poker hand. We do not
claim any great knowledge of this i
d- game but we have always understood 1
>n that four one spots was a fairly good r
Jt hand. Wo know we are not a> guilei'c
less in a great many ways as our co- t
temporary nor as ignorant of this .<
great game. And yet probably, well? j

that a Hallimoreau who was no'

wo cows, a bee and a hoe. At the ^
able they had excellent milk for

"But we have a neighbor down TP
