A RUMOR.
We were informed a short time
ago that our Board of Trade bad
In contemplation a plan to talce
up a number of vacant lota in and
adjaoent to the city which are ef
no value for resident purpose,
and to throw them open to those
who might desire to utilise
them fn the installing of small
Industrial plants. If this plan
Is carried out, and the ne
cessary capital secured to bring
it to a successful conclusion,
there is no limit to the possibili
ties of benefits that will accrue
to the *City, and incidentally to
the county. Naturally, this will
be no elemosonary scheme. All
of us, and those who may co
operate with us will be in it
largely for the dollars, but the
dollars are there, and with quick
and active backing by the Boatd
of Trade, reinforced by our
natural and artificial advantages,
it will not be long befoie our
hopes become realities. Instead
of aching voids in the shape of
vacant and almost jleserted lots
almost within the city limits, and
id some instances within them,
we will see one or more hosiery
mills, a pants factory,an over
all plant, a sash, door aud bliud
factory a bent wood factory, a
veueering mill and possibly u
cotton compress.
These, and oilier enterprises
are within our roach if our ad
vantages are properly placed be
fore the investing public. Un
less they are so placed, we will
crawl along in the same old rut
our fathers travelled. It mat
ters little to us who owns the
majority of stock iu these enter
prises. It is enough for us to
know that the several plants are
established and in operation. It
is simply up to us in our indi
vidual and corporate capacity to
uphold the hands of the stock
holders and owners.
It is a common fact that every
new enterprise whether located
in town or county contributes its
quota towards our common pros
perity. Every worthy operative
in one of these industrial plants*
become an active and able citizen
of the body politic, and every
new and worthy family that set
ties in our inidst assimilates
with our people, increases our
population, our wealth and our
influence in the commonwealth
and in mutters of State.
These facts are self evident.
Let us hope that our informa
tion ulong this line is correct,
and t\iat our Board of Trade will
speedily take up the mutter
mentioned and interest as miiny
of our citizuns as possible in the
project. It is a matter of vital
moment.
POOR LOGIC.
"If the South Carolina delega
tion is to be tied Imnd ami foot,
Jtud absolutely bound to Bryan
(at. the Democratic convention)
whnt'ft the use of putting men
to the expense of koiiik to Den
ver? Can't en urrnngement be
Maude to send one man und give
bin eighteen votes?"
The above is from some paper
picked up in a local cafe. It
strike* as as the poorest kind of
logic. The writer of the squib
should know, and we believe
does know that when the dele
get kmc from the several States
ere when voting begins, unless
thej are working under instruc
tion^ or, the unit rule, iho fel
low witk the biggest voice, who
has hie name recorded for Bryan,
or any other snooessfut nominee,
bee n better ehanoe st ttie pie

little wheeejmoothed politician |

go on. Oar people want all the
pie they can get.
THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER.
What ia the province of a
country newspaper? Our ex
perience ia that it is cussed if it
does, and again cuased if it don't.
In this we want to be thoroughly
understood as referring to real
newspapers, those Journals
* . ho*e editors have opinions, and
who do uot fear to express them,
und not to those little veakliet
who dare not call their souls
their own, or to express an hon
est opinion through feat^ of of
fending sotne super- sensitive
subscrioer or advertiser. The
true mission of a country news
paper is, as we see it, to give its
readers all curreut local and
general news. It should, we
think bring every citizen of the
county in contact with each other
each week, and its coming should
be looked forward to with the
same pleasurable feeling that an
expected meeting with an old
frieud would produce. In its
editorial columns it should be
positive but not extreme in its
views on publicquestions, having
always in view the true interests
of the people at large whom it
would educate and enlighten on
the several vital question uffect-s
ing the public weal.
The greatest and gravest duty
of the country newspaper how
ever is to work unceasingly for
the good of tlie town or city in
which it may be located. This
should bedono ungrudgingly, not
only as a patriotic duty, but as a
matter of personal pride. It is
a poor man indeed who, having
the opportunity, does not stand
up for his towu or city, and to
the credit of the fourth estate,
we maj say that there are only
a few if any who do not do their
full duty in this respect.
Now, what is the duty of the
public and the several muni
cipalities to the country news*
paper? It is its duty to uphold
them by every means iu their
power, the country inau by sub
scrrption, and the townsman by
not only subscription but by ad
vertising, and if a job depart
ment is run in connection with
the newspaper, to throw every
item of work that is required
into the hands of the local prin
ter. Furthermore, it is the duty
of the towu or city council to
Toster these enterprises. It is
an established fact that a town
or city is to all iutents and pur
poses a dead towu or city if it
has not a newspaper. There is
no question iu the minds of any
reasonable man that a news
paper is a city institution, and
as such has no more right to be
taxed for doing business than
has the city council to tax the
Shah of fersha's pet cat. Gen
tlemen of the city council, give
this matter your attention in
making up your supply bill. A
$10 license tax on a poor little
newspaper which pays its owner
perhaps one per cent, on the
capital invested, doesn't seem
to be equitable when compared
with a $20 license on a cotton
iiiiii which pa,\ ? i!.?, Mocuholti r*
8 'o 10 per cent. I cotton mill
being vaitied a! $:!< >0,1)00, while
the newspaper m,t\ have a value
of sa\ , $1 ,,">00.
Looking at ihe matter from
this standpoint, we really think
that the newspaper license
should be abolished, in which
opinion we believe that all fan
minded citizens will agree.
Death of Joseph Daniel Pope.
Ono by one, iu rapidly inrivus
ing order, the human lundm mi ih
who connect the Hlnrinu p.. t

stimulate and encourage those
of the present to emulate their
virtues, their manliness and their
patriotism along till lines of hu .
man endeavor. The latest vie |
tirn of the grim reaper who has,
crossed the silent river, and who
is no\<r resting in the shade of ,
the trees with his old comrades in
arms, and iu peace, is Colonel ?
Joseph Daniel Pope of Columbia
who passed away several days
since at the ripe age of 87 years.
It is not jriven to many of us

moral and educational welfare
POST OFFICE RULING
By a recent ruling of the Pout Office Department, llie
publishers of Weekly Newspapers are required to strike
from tbeir Subscription books the names of ali subsribers
who are in arrears for more than one year's subscription.
This ruling goes into effect April 1st. Failing compliance
with it, the publisher will be charged FULL SECOND
CLASS rate of four (4) cents per pound for every news
paper he sends through the mail. Tnis simply means
that THE PEOPLE will cost you $2.50 per aunum in
stead of $1.50 as now.
We, of course bow to superior authurity, but we do not
care to drop a single subscriber, so we earnestly urge alt
our subscribers to call on or write us before April 1st.,
whether you have the money or not, and we are sure that
we can make sume arrangement that will bring you with
in the rule.

Joseph Daniel Pope did it, and
though now fallen into an eter

has left a shining example to the
younger generation by following

lived, strive as he strove and
accomplish what he accom- ]
plished. '
