Thursday, Dec. 19,1907.
The Christmas editions of the
Greenwood Index and the Journal
were especially well prepared and reflect
credit on the city and its newst
papers.
We understand that the Spartanburg
Journal has been adopting Co- :
lumbia Record tactics, and sending
free papers to parties in this locality,
who did not subscribe, in the attempt
to build up a circulation. This sort
of business never pays.
i J. P. Gibson is now editor of the
Marlboro Democrat. He is a strong
writer and capable newspaper man,
R. L. Freeman is owner of the paper.
By the way, Freeman has things his <
own way in Bennettsville now, as he
owns both papers published there.
Mrs. Frederick Nathan, a leader '
in the woman's suffrage movement
in NewYork is authority for the statement
that 27,000 women there sup- I
port their husbands. For that mat- 1
ter, most women support their husbands,
either directly or indirectly.
In another column we publish the
announcement of Eon. D. S. Henderson,
of Aiken, as a candidate for the <
United States Senate. Of course this 1
matter is published as an advertisement.
Mr. Henderson was in the race
* .six years ago and made a good run.
He is an able man.
??
We are glad to see that some of j
our merchants are placing the trash
from their stores in barrels. These |
barrels are placed on the edge of the
sidewalk and the town cart empties
them. How much better this is than ,
* - i _ * a. ii.,
to scatter tne trasn in iroia 01 men
stores. We hope that others will
provide trash boxes or barrels.
A country editor over in Georgia is
thinking of leaving the town he is in
because he ran for mayor and was
defeated. He was a fool to run for
office in the first place, and we are
not surprised that he shows so little
sense as to want to leave for so
.
trivial a reason. An editor has no
1
. business in either town, county or
State politics.
Some few people have been mak
ing a great deal of noise in Methodist
circles about what they call the many
changes of preachers made by Bishop
Morrison at the recent annual conference,
and the statement has been
made that there is a great deal of dissatisfaction.
In the first place, Bishop
Morrison did not make a record
in this respect. The changes made
by him, to quote some writer in the
Advocate, amounted to 55 per cent,
and the percentage for the past few
years has been about the same as this.
So there were not so many changes
made after all. But where the shoe
pinched was that so many presiding
elders who had been getting salaries
of $1,800 and more were sent to $1,200
and less appointments. But in
this section the feeling is one of
satisfaction. It reminds us of the
old story of the fellow who died and
when some one asked of what complaint,
the reply was: "No complaint
at all; everybody satisfied." And so
it is with the policy of Bishop Mor
-- -e? ? J-i? \ir~4.I
nson, so xar as uie iucuiuuisu> m
this section are concerned; everybody
is satisfied that he did a wise thing.
, Prohibitionists Organize.
Laurens, Dec. 13.?Pursuant to a
eall published some two weeks ago,
a meeting of the prominent prohibitionists
of this county was held Wednesday
in the court house at 11 a. m.
The chairman was requested to appoint
a central committee of five to
formulate a campaign with a view of
voting the dispensary from this
county as early as is permitted under
the Carey-Co thran law, which will be
May 1. The central committee will
appoint subcommittees all over the
county and petitions will be circulated
with the view of obtaining an
election at once.
It will be recalled that the dispensary
was voted out in this county and
the election was contested by the
friends of the dispensary and after
remaining in the courts for some
time it was finally decided that the
election was not legal and the dispensary
remains.
The prohibitionists declare that
they are very confident of success.
TO RUN FOR V. S. SENATE
[continued from first page]
law that will help on that line, and
the sooner, exercising those State
rights which we love so much, we
pass State laws to build roads, the
sooner we will get them, for I fear
if we wait for fruit from "the bill"
which we have been promised as a
law, since 1903, we will never get
Federal aid.
That bill! It must be rotting in
the pigeon hole of some chairman oi
the Senate. Why not call it out and
have it discussed, and let us have
some practical illustrations of how
much the people of South Carolina
would get out of it anyhow?
The Currency Question.
He who may represent the South
in either house of Congress in the
near future, must be ready to cope
with and push urgent issues. The
present emergency on us in the
money market, which necessarily affects
the price of cotton and manufactured
goods as well as stocks,
shows the necessity of prompt "Currency
Reform." It is a shame that
some Federal statute is not enacted
allowing the banks to issue emergency
currency on an efficient and
safe basis. It is a terrible spectacle
to behold the entire business of the
United States at the mercy of the
magnates of Wall street, and the
Secretary of the Treasury on the
question of putting currency into
circulation. The government ought
to rule Wall street, and not allow it
to rule the people any longer. The
inelasticity and inefficiency of the
currency system is as great a detriment
to business, as a failure of
r?rnns for it reduces the value of all
crops, and congress ought to proceed
quickly to furnish some remedy for
the relief of the recent depression in
prices in the country. And some
permanent method ought to be
adopted to meet future trouble.
Congress should rise above partisan
politics in this matter. It will not
do to say that a remedy cannot be
found, as announced by Mr. Latimer
in his last interview. The people demand
a permanent remedy.
Many of the States, notably South
Carolina and Georgia, by stringent
statutes, have demolished the business
of the bucket shops within our
borders,, and kept a good deal of
money at home for legitimate purposes.
Congress by Federal statutes,
even to the extent of fine and imprisonment
ought to demolish the
greatest of bucket shops and divert
the money, which goes into illegal
stock gambling, to the avenues of
honest trade.
Tariff Reform.
We have heard of "the tariff" all
our days; but if there ever was a
time when the Democrats, and especially
those of the South should move
forward and demand tariff reform,
and that immediately, now is the
time. All throughout the North, |
fViora era nennle inside the ReDubli
can party who are ready to join the
Democrats in an effort to rectify the
fearful burden that rests on the people
by indirect taxation.
It will not do to allow our people
to be lulled to sleep by appropriations
for local improvements, and
to acquiesce in the enrichment of the
Robber Barons and Trusts, who fatten,
because of the existence of a
system of protective duties.
It is the settled policy in the United
States to make appropriations to
maintain the rivers and harbors and
great water-ways of the land, such
as the Mississippi river, and our
harbors and rivers, and evepr dictate
of reason justifies the building of the
great Isthmian canal, but we should
regard with a great deal of suspicion
many of the chimerical suggestions
to build up private enterprises
at the expense of the National Government,
for it would prove too
great a precedent to perpetuate the
tariff, and to roll np a big fund of
money in the treasury, wrung from
the people by indirect taxation.
Fight Centralization.
We are also told by the President
that he has "turned on the light,"
and we are glad he has brought to
light the rottenness that exists in
high places, but we must not be deceived
by the no uncertain and imperative
call he makes to give the
Federal Executive greater power,
even to centralization. He wants
not only more power to manage and
control the implements of Inter-state
Commerce (and there is no objection
to that,) but he wants to bend
and twist the Inter-state Commerce
clause of the Constitution, so that
the Federal Executive should be enabled
to seize upon and regulate
even the intra State activities and to
subject the products of her soil, the
labor and output of her mills and
mines, all to the touch of the Federal
Dower.
The Drainage Question.
The irrigation of arid lands in the
West by Federal Aid, seems to have
become a fixed policy, like the improvement
of the great arteries and
harbors of trade, and logically it follows
that the drainage of the swamp
regions of the South ought to be
placed upon the same basis. We
should not hesitate to invoke Federal
aid to exterminate malaria and to develop
the agricultural wet lands, because
health as well as prosperity is
involved, and the Federal precedent
is established. We should insist on
the minimum of cost to the land
owners.
These are some of the questions
which will interest the people in the
Senatorial canvass.
I have no particular organ among
the papers of the respected press of
the State, to sound my praises and I
simply ask and hope to receive a i
square deal from them all, and the <
same I ask from the people. Ever I
since I began life as a poor, strug- J
gling practitioner, I have led an ac- J
tive, busy life, and have endeavored J
by industry and orderly methods in q
work to conduct my affairs. If elect- j
ed by your votes to the Senate, I j
shall strive by that same endeavor *
and orderly work to deserve your i
"well done." J
I shall not seek this office through J
abuse and mud slinging as to other J
candidates, nor shall I strive to feed \
you on "almanac jokes," but shall j
hold myself ready to meet all legiti- j
mate argument that may be made, *
and to conduct the canvass on that i
high plane which should "become J
gentlemen who seek to represent the
proud old State in the United States J
Senate. Respectfully, a
