' I . . MANY SOUTH CAROLINA MILLS C COMPLAIN OF HIGH COAL RATES South Carolina cotton mills are complaining of rates on steam coal from the various fields ; which supply them with fuel. 1 The Victor Manufacturing com- 1 pany, of Greer, and other large y cotton operators in the State, ^ Saturday instituted a complaint, j before the interstate commerce 1 commission against the Southern ( railway company and other car- ( riers urging that the present i j rates on coal from the Coal Creek region in Tennessee are unjust and unreasonable and that the recent advances made in those rates are unlawful and \ : : i rri o ii. 1 uiscriimiiaiory. 1 lie oouuiem railway filed in July a tariff on 1 coal from the Coal Creek region 1 in Tennessee, to South Carolina 1 points, including Spartanburg, as 1 a basing point, increasing the < rates about 15 cents r. ton. The tariff became effective on August ( 15. The complainants in the < case ask that the recent advances 1 be suspended. This could not be 1 done by the commission as the 1 tariffs already had become effective. ! The old rate from the Coal i Creek field to South Carolina | points is $1.80 a ton. The com- < plainants maintain that the rate should not exceed $1.55 a ton. The advanced rate is $1.95 ton to basing points in South Carolina. Like Conditions in Fort Mill. 1 Few people give any thought to the amount of time and energy the newspapers spend in boosting, says the Johnston NewsMonitor. Whenever there is a venture in the way of an enterprise that appears to be for the ; good of the community, the papers give unlimited space? column after column is written. The enterprise may be a success or a failure, but the papers are never lacking in encouragement. The newspaper is ready to help the church charity and whatever ' else that comes up for the benefit and uplift of mankind. Yet there are people in every town (some right here in Johnston) who fail to appreciate in the smallest degree these things. They are so selfish and ungrateful that they do not feel called upon to turn a hand to help fKfiii* kiv\v. no nA??

They feel that they do. not owe anything to the home concern and had just as lief their money would go elsewhere. " <"* ? ^ News of Gold Hill. Fort Mill Times Correspondence. Gold Hill, August 22. There is nothing special to report from Gold Hill, everything is running along smoothly. To-Go, the 5-year-old son of J. 1). Gibson, has been (pate sick for some time with scarlet fever but is improving slowly. The farmers have been called from refreshment to labor and are busy pulling fodder, but the rains have interfered somewhat with saving the forage. Some say the corn crop will be light, and in our opinion one cause of this is there is too much corn left on the ground. We j think the cotton crop will be light. Our numerous road supervisors and overseers have put a new 1 dress on the Steel Creek boulevard of late and we respectfully invite the Fort Mill bon-tons to mount their autos and take a spin up this way; and don't forget to stop here and take a fellow in with you for it would help you to ride with a gentleman. Miss Curlee Wagner, of Hickory, N. C., is visiting relatives in 1 this section. S. Pool Room Closed.

" 81 vas referred, but Mr. Butler a lever called it up for consider- J, ition. The d'stilling company t| ,vas afterwards run out of the c State, but not before offering i h mx) to compromise with the state. Mr. Butler failed to tl disrupt the concern by letting ;he bill die. That is one of the " .hings he has done for the people. ? Vlr. Finley here referred to his ong service in the South Carolina fi Legislature and in the national v muse of representatives and he ^ s proud to say that not one man a iias ever stood up and criticised h nm for any position he has * :aken. * He has served in a t egislative capacity with more t han 1.000 men and has never r lodged a vote on any question. "Why is it I have been elected sver ten opponents? It is be- i :ause I am a Democrat and come c back to the people with clean * bands unsullied with slime of any u kind." He has worked faith- i fully and claims to have done ^ something. He has a voice in the party councils as vice chairman of the national Democratic i congressional committee. Mr. ' Butler says that a new man can J pick up the crumbs that fall from j i he Republican table; does h<? : wish to go to Congress simply as 1 a crumb gatherer? There is '( hope for the Democracy in the j congressional elections. Mr. Finley here discussed the tariff : from the Democratic standpoint. \ He is one of the two Democratic : members of the postoffice committee and is also a member of ] the joint printing committee. 1 He had the honor of leading the Democratic fight for the substi tute postal savings bank bill, which was infinitely better than the Republican measure. Does ' Mr. Butler say that he did less than his duty in the fight. More < than 1)9 per cent, of the work of 1 Congress is done in the com- ' mittee rooms and men of expe- j rience are given the most im- i nnrtarit nnm in iff no vv*..v vviiuiiit V. v_ V- aooi^llllicilld, He refuses to discuss the dis- 1 tribution of seeds. He did not I, make the law, but as long as it is in force the people of the Fifth district will get their quota. Mr. Henry devoted the principal part of his speech to roasting a Rock Hill paper, which had predicted his political funeral, > and discussing the negro question. His sarcastic references to the paper seemed to take well j with the audience, though there . were not a few who thought that he was wasting time gunning for a sparrow. Mr. Henry said that he does not favor bringing the negro again into politics. He would repeal the 14th and 15th amendments to the Federal con- , stitution and then allow the negroes to elect delegates to Con gress and to the State Legislatures. Until the negro succeeds , in growing another bone in his heel and a bridge across his nose there is no hope for him politically. , \ Lieutenant Governor MoLeod Endorsed i by Home People. On Wednesday afternoon, July 13, 1 an enthusiastic meeting of the citizens ^ of Bishopville and surrounding country ^ was held at Woodward Grove for the j purpose of advancing the candidacy of j J the Hon. Thoa. G. McLeod for the I office of Governor. The people of Lee t county want to show the Democratic I voters of this State what they think of . their home candidate. The following ! ^ ruHrilnfiDn uroa odAnfod ? ?? wu uMuptcu ouu a committee of five appointed to place the J same before the Democratic voters of the State at the expense of the meeting: t We, the citizens of Bishopville and surrounding territory, the home of the 1 Hon. Thos. G. McLeod, candidate J for Governor, do hereby in meeting assembled, voluntarily and without his knowledge or solicitation, heartily recommend him to the Democratic voters of South Carolina, as in every c way competent and capable to fill the responsible duties of Governor. His I ability is unquestioned and unquestion- ? able; his character is irreproachable; * his simple word is as binding as his bond; always true to principle, honor ? and integrity, his whole life is an unanswerable argument to the faintest whisper against his uprightness of character, his sobriety and his un- ? tarnished reputation. Shortly after leaving college, he lost ? lis father, and taking charge of his father's estate, farm and mercantile ? msiness, he managed it with great . msiness judgment and succeeded in ^ saying off a large indebtedness; at the same time he was a father bu V jrothers and sister, educating them and oday they look up to, love and respect y i'jm as a father. He has good judgnent and excellent executive ability, 1 lis election can be no mistake ami we tespeak /or him the support of the democracy of South Carolina. As a representative for two years, ~ is u senator for four years, he always I tood for those things which were for J he best interest of the people, and as ieutenant governor for four years, he vas absolutely fair and impartial in his 2 ulings and presided with digr'ty and ^ ibility and we firmly believe .hat his ? ecord there made entitles him to that >romotion which is always accorded an tonest and faithful public servant. f< Mr. Htary Makit Explanation. [Z o the Editor of The Columbia State. In last Sunday's State the report of ly speech at Lancaster, from a quoation of my argument as to how to ecure a repeal of the 14th and 16th mendments, does me great injustice, saw it first today. It put me in fie attitude of advocating returning fie negro to politics and office. How ould taking away his citizenship put im into politics or office? That statement of my position makes uch a charge against me self-contraictory. Anyone who advocates bringing the egro into i>olitics is the common en- ] my of both races, and more especially f the negro. f Such a one might be lynched the j* irst time he opened his mouth. He c ould be instigating racial war, I ,*hich would amount to the extermina- ^ ion of the negro. Histoiy, nature k/i nd God in all ages and in all places | ave made the negro the burden and arrbof the white man. By taking way his citizenship, I want him to I ake his place in law where these hree have placed him. Any other I lace is dangerous alike to him and I is, and cruel to him. He belongs to i tribal or paternal government. The I application*of white man's law to him ?| s cruel. All the evils which ever fl ome to the negro have come out of fl he effort to make of him a citizen of a i republic. The best thought of his fl iwn race says for him to keep out of S olitics. To educate a negro as a yhite man is cruel to him. Booker fl Washington says to educate him in- 3 lustrially. fl 1 want the nation to turn over the m linking of citizens out of him to the p states. Hands off. We will do him * 'ight. We are his best friends and he M mows it. We are the best and only ! & udges when and how he shall become | S i citizen. The North is beginning to ! p ealize that the race question is a local 3 natter. The supreme court hafc in g lie Jim Crow car and election cases fl I . radically said it is a local matter. In retaining the 14th and loth intendments the North holds the tail ?t* a sleeping lion and don't understand fl he lion. We are inside, with the lion fl ind they outside of the cage. In justice to my position, 1 ask you jfl to publish this. Thanking you in fl idvance. J. K. HENRY. fl Chester, Aug. 12, 1910. NOTICE.
