'. We need good streets and sides'
v?alks and waterworks a blamed sight
i more than we do a watering trough
|?? and fountain on the court house
fifeisquare.
We see that the State department
> of immigration has asked the legislature
for an additional appropriafjition
of $10,000 for the coming year.
kv<Vfe presume this is to pay the transV;'
portation of people from Europe
^whom they want to bring over to
?wortt 1L1 Uie UULWJU 1111110. iiaib uiv
cotton mills become so poor that
|p?>they must be fostered by the
^?State? It doesn't look a bit like
"equal rights to all and special privileges
to none" to use the money of
gfetiie tax payers for any such purpose.
^ - Evidently the department of immi^
migration needs new and different
Pp management.
This newspaper has never been ex&&
actly enthusiastic over the departpg
ment of immigration, yet we have
jg&t never opposed it. We are heartily
P~ in favor of immigration, but whether
the South Carolina department is
doing anything worth the money is
j^gthe question. After a trial of several
years, we must say frankly that we

ure. One ship load of immigrants
have been brought over, and we unlp:
derstand that the State of South
gfeCbrolina paid the transportation of
pr those who were brought over. These
fe people went to the up country mills
r^>very largely, there being few domestic
servants or farm hands among
|pf than. The State has no right to tax
PJ: all her citizens and use that money
fe' 'iqr the benefit of the large corporafe-;
tions. It is an outrage, and we think
the time has come to abolish the defe*:partment
of immigration.
Waterworks Again
Our people have gotten stirred up
prv on the matter of fire protection for
j&^yMain street again, as a result of the
recent fires. Tuesday afternoon Mr.
Jho. H. Cope, president of the cotton
mill, who has taken much interest in
this waterworks matter, circulated a
petition to city council asking that |
f^v'' they put waterworks on Main street, |
the signers pledging themselves to|
pjbjta one mill extra taxes if necessary. I
rail Tlw? rvifitinn was mimerouslv siemed I
and was presented to council the same j
Sp evening, this being the regular
fejpmonthly meeting. It was discussed
p;| by the body, and it was decided to
SpPfsH legal advice on the question begy
fore proceeding.
. The Great Want of the Age.
||i; The great want of this age is men
||p who are honest to the bottom, sound
HV from center to circumference, true
fe-, to the heart's core. Men that fear
Sp;- the Lord and hate covetousness. Men
fe' who will condemn wrong in a friend
or foe, in themselves as well as in
|p; others. Men whose conciences are
ml ateady as the needle to the pole. Men
8|? who will stand for the right if the
' heavens totter and the earth reels.
Men who can tell the truth and defy
p: the world. Men who can look the
gj^l devil right in the eye and tell him
Sv he lies. Men that neither brag nor
i*un. Men that neither swagger nor
j it1 flinch. Men who can have courage
jp without whistling for it, and joy
without shouting to bring it. Men
:?. in whom the current of everlasting
%l_ fife runs still, and deep and strong.
Si Men careful of God's honor and
i m careless of men's applause. Men too
?/,* large for sectarian limits, and too
strong for sectarian bands. Men
who do not strive, nor cry, nor cause
their voices to be heard in the street;
hut who will not fail, nor be dis
xt;, couraged, till judgment be set in
Kg- the earth. Men who know their
message and tell it. Men who know
their duty and do it. Men who know
' their place and fill it. Men who mind
their own business. Meii who are
not too lazy to work, nor too proud
?v- -nmrirl tn he noor. Men williner to
5 eat what they have earned, and wear
:; what they have paid for. Men who
know in whom they have trusted.
Men whose feet are on the everlast " r
ing Rock. Men not ashamed of their
%_ hope. Men strong with Divine
strength, wise with heavenly wisdom,
loving with the love of Christ. Men
i- of God!?Selected.

IN THE POORHOUSE
Is Daughter of Bret Harte, And, Like
Him, An Author.
Portland, Me., Jan. 31?Mrs. Jessie
Steele, a daughter of Bret Harte,
and, like him, an author, is an inmate
of Portland's poorhouse. She
was taken there four days ago and
the city overseers of the poor are
trying to get into communication
with her husband, Luther Steele, to
notify him of her condition and ascertain
who is to be responsible for her
maintenance.
Mrs. Steele is believed to be mentally
unbalanced. She spent the
summer of 1905 at a hotel on Chebeague
Island, Portland harbor, accompanied
by a woman attendant,
Her husband paid her board.
After that summer Mrs. Steele
boarded in hotels here and rented a
cottage on the Cape Elizabeth shore
last summer. Then she returned to
Portland hotels, and last week the
city authorities were informed of
her mental condition and her inability
j to pay her board.
| Mrs. Steele spends practically ail
! her time in her room in the poor|
house writing on paper pads. She
says she is writing a play and intends
to earn enough money to go on
the stage. She says she thinks her
husband is in the West, but she does
| not know where.
Colleton County Out of Debt.
| Walterboro, February 3.?We
are informed by Supervisor Moore
that Friday, January 25, was made a
memorable day because from it Colleton
county can date being "out of
debt." When Mr. Moore took
charge of the office four years ago
Colleton owed $78,000. Sixty thousand
dollars bonded indebtedness,
$18,000 past indebtness, to say nothing
of $14,000 which had been borrowed
for that year's current expenses.
Through the good mangement
of Mr. Moore and the county
commissioners this debt has all been
paid and Colleton county will have a
surplus of several thousand dollars
when this year's taxes are all in.
Besides paying this indebtedness a
handsome addition to the court house
and a number of much-needed and
costly bridges have been constructed.
Too much praise cannot be( given
those of our county officers who
have contributed to this consummation
so long devoutly wished.
When you go to ring up for your
groceries, think of us. Phone 41.

If you are not already trading with
us we would like very much to have
part of your business anyhow. We
are sure we can please you.

Mr. Legare Presides. .
Washington, Feb. 2.?Representative
Legare's friends are congratulating
him upon having been called
to the chair to preside over the house
by Speaker Cannon yesterday.
This is the first time in many years
that a Democrat has been so honored,
and, Mr. Legare's colleagues are
wondering what it means.
While he was in the chair the
house was considering the rivers and
harbors bill and a hot debate was on
between Chairman Burton and a
number of members of the house
who thought that they had not received
as much out of the bill as they
should have gotten. Mr. Legare
presided during this time with all
the ease and poise of Speaker Cannon,
although he was minus the
cigar the speaker invariably carries.
While the Charleston congressman
stands high in the house with both
Democrats and Republicans, it was
never believed that the speaker
would so recognize any Democrat by
calling him to the chair and presenting
him temporarily with the gavel
and authority of office.
Dempster Out on Ball.
Charlotte, N. C., Feb. 1.?Mr. J.
M. Dempster, the young man who is
charged with the abduction of Miss
May Foster, of Greenville, S. C., was

lUV bA/U KTJ V*?v WWVM W?
authorities Wednesday on $500 bond.
Mr. Dempster, with his attorney, Mr.
Marion Reed, went to Greenville
Tuesday morning-, and owing to the
fact that the prosecution was not
ready the case was posponed. The
defendant gave bond without the
least difficulty.
Mr. Dempster returned to Charlotte
Wednesday night and has resumed
his duties as a traveling salesman.
No time has been set for the
trial.
Robbery at Allendale.
Allendale, January 30.?The
store of the R P. Searson Drug
Company was broken into last night
and about $200 worth of watches
stolen. Nothing else was disturbed
in the building, except two Columbian
half dollars, which were taken
out of the money till. So far there
is no clue whatever to the burglars.
Mrs. W. R. Brabham died about 9
