Kennedy, Clinton. S C., which to our mind is one 0 the strongest appeals to the rea son of'the masses we have rea< in a long time, and we hope i will have the effect of causinq the masses to ponder over thi political conditions now existing in this State. There is no nee< for argument that unless faction al strife is allayed the progres, of the State will continue to b< blocked, there can be no mater ial benefit as long as the people are divided into hostile camps This is recognized by those wh4 keep up with the trend of tho times, and the sooner the peopli are made to recognize it th4 quicker will there be a chang for the better. What is neede< at this time is the placing ii public positions of men who wil work for the welfare of th State without regard to the pas factional alignment; both fac tions are equally .to blame fo the present disturbed conditions and the only way to change this is for all to lay aside their parti san prejudices and put forwar< menwho will endeavor to buil< up rather than to tear down. -E MAY RECONSIDER. There is a demand being mad4 from all over the State for thi services of Hon. John L. Mc Laurin to enter the politica arena, some want him to becom< a candidate for governor, an< others seem to think he can ren der the State a greater servici by becoming a candidate fr LiM United States Senate. Wi should like to see Mr. McLaurin with a general assembly to bacd him up, governor, believing tha his ability as a statesman wil put the State in line with othe: progressive states of the Union Itswill be recalled that he an - nounced he .was done wit] politics, since then many think ing men have been urging hini to reconsider and become a can didate for governor, just wha he will decide to do has not ye been ascertained, but we believe if he is convinced the people arn ready to lay aside factional feel ing, and want a man to steer th< ship of state into a peacefu haven, he can be induced to en ter the contest, but as long af the people are looking for factional leader they need no expect McLaurin to make thi race. FLUCKED OUT. The Harpoon. published a Anderson. has the shortes newspaper life on record. Col Victor B. Cheshire, formne: owner of the Anderson Intelli gencer, one of the best paying newspaper propositions in th< up-country, and a political live wire, was made a handsome offe: for his paper which he accepted and agreed not to publish an other newspaper in Andersor countyv for a period of years He, however, changed his min< as he says, "in response to ths desire of farmers who wante< sympathetic outlet for their sen timents," but the corporatioi that bought the Intelligence: would not stand for such breach of agreement; after a2 issue or two, it convinced Mr Cheshire he could not conduc The Harpoon, so he forthwit1 discontinued its publication, an< we shall not have an opportuni ty of reading the snappy an< sometimes vitriolic editorial: from the pen- of the Colonel But when he gets to congress ha can send us some garden see< and be forgiven. The National American Suf frage association had a week': cam~paign in Washington to arg< an amendment to the constitu tion to enfranchise women. Th< enfranchisement they seek wil not come from th~e present con gress, but the day is not' far dis taut when the women of th< United States will have th< voting priyilege, and they wil also have the right to hold office The movement is gaining groun< rapidly, and wherever they hay been given the right to votei ha proven a suces. THE SENATOR FEARS MONOPOLY. If the coal trust gobbles up the terminal facilities in Char leston, as the senior senator seems to fear, will it hurt or help Charleston? Just at this time there is a prospect for new rail Y roads to enter that city, these, " are seeking a water outlet for the products of the mines, whether a trust controls them or not, Charleston needs these new rb avenues of commerce. The wa ter facilities have been dormant a for years, there is a chance now for their utilization, but Senator e Tillman would prefer them to re main as they have been these many years, rather than for the 9 trusts to bring them into activ I ity. If the senator is so fearful of the trusts, be has an oppor f tunity to scotch them. The Dem - cratic p: ty is in control of the i government, and it is pleC -d L to "bust the trusts" therefore. E the senator, if he thinks the a trusts will get a monoply of i Charleston's terminal facilities, can bring his influence to bear in congress and see that a Charleston is not imp-osed upon. A BUSINESS PROPOSITION. The general assembly will con vene next month, and among the important measures to be con sidered will be the cotton ware house bill- The committee sent to New York to confer with the cotton exchange convinced that body that the cotton market will have to be transfered to the south, and that unless some steps are taken looking to this end the federal government will put the speculating as hereto fore conducted by the exchange out of business. The bill now pending in our legislature may not be perfect, but it has attract ed the consideration of many who heretofore were inclined to oppose it.just what will be done at the coming session is problematic but if South Carolina adopts leg islation committing the State to a system of holding cotton it will be a great boon to the growers of that staple. The warehouse proposition is purely a business one, there is no poli tics-in it, such being the case it should not be permitted to be come a political football for am - bitious politicians to play with. The Sumter Herald has good reason tobe proud of its 40page Thanksgiving edition. It was a corker and in keeping with the -progressive spirit of its city. . Since the Tango was danced at the white house on the occasion1 . of Miss Wilson's marriage, the bfamous dance which has been a the subject of unfavorable com ment,will be accepted as entirely proper.. Answering an inquiry we will state that the lawyer Sims who is under disbarment charges be fore the supreme court. is not the Sims that announced himself a candidate for governor. The candidate's ,name is Charles Carroll Sims, and he lives in Barnwell, the man under charges name is C. P. Sims and his borne b is in Spartanburg. From a Washington letter we Sread a few days ago in the Col umbia Record we thought the .Grace-Whaley matter was over with, and the committee would take no further action. but this seems to have been a mistake and ,if the committee decides to take -action, it will be through a sub committee that will take testi .mony in Charleston some time1 i later. At present the situation a remains the same as it was two i months ago when the committee .adjourned. e Rev. S. A. Nettles formerly of I Manning, and editor of the 1 Southern Christian -Advocate was tried by the confer ence on charges the nature of which has not been made pub lic, but he was found guilty and suspended from the ministry for Sthree months. Mr. Nettles gave Snotice of appeal to the General Conference, There have been various reports with reference to the charges against Mr. Net tles, but judging from the action of the conference the charges were not of a nature involving his moral character. We be hieve, and sincerely hope that -Mr. Nettles will yet come out of this trouble with flymng colors.
