The editor of The Duily Intelligen
cer bus received from Col. J. I'. Glb
roii of Hcnncttsville u personal letter
in which lie very bitterly assails Mr.
Pollock for mentioning the "calico
ticket," proposition. Col. Gibson
says the charge ugulnst him is In
famous.
The only charge was that he is a
member of Gov. Blouse's stuff and that
his name was on a ticket in 1KS0 along
with some negroes who were candi
dates for office. Quite a number of
Anderson people saw the ticket and
auw tho name J. P. Gibson. Mr. Pol
lock made no attack upon Mr. Gibson,
merely made a statement.
This was done, not to humiliate Col.
Gibson, as we judged the incident, but
to make sport of Gov. Please who had
been decrying tho negro and any one
tu would associate in politics direct
ly or indliectty with negroes. Mr.
Pollock In ether words, merely "re
plied in kind" and used no offensive
language uuuut Mr. Gibscn.
Mr Gibson bas sent this paper a two
column article from a paper In which
he gives the history of his political
career and declares that in 1880 ho
was a candidate on tho democratic
tocket and that his name, was put on
the republican "calico" ticket without
his knowledge or consent Mr. Gib
son Bays in part:
"Now I will explain the.existence of
the "calico checked hack ticket," which
was sent to Mr. Follbck from this
county and which 1b being exhibited
by him In the upper part of the state.
' That' cnecked hack ticket ! was not bur
! ticket. - If I had to-go ?nxo judgment
this moment I did not know anything
about the existence? of that republican
ticket with our names on * it, until I
went to Brightsvllie on the day of
election.
"Mr. D. D. McColl who was my per
sonal friend as long as he lived, and
who. waB the father of the present
democratic chairman of this county,
told mo after the election in 1880, that
he and other white republicans In this
county had advised the republicans to
pl xce our names on their ticket. My
name was placed there without my
consent or knowledge, and any Inti
mation ar declaration, that I havo ever
catered to or affiliated with the ne
groes or republican party 1b an abso
lute falsehood as black as perdition."
We publish this much of Mr. Glb
Bon'B statement in justice to him, al
though aa we said boforo, Mr. Pollock
Instead of trying to mortify poor Col.
Gibson seemed to ho trying to ridicule
Gov Blease's manner of political,
speech.

THE OLD tit A HO IS PASSING.
With sorrow we read of the parsing
of Ireilell Jones. Me was more than
n man. he was a type. And the splen
did race of which he was one is pass
ing, In a few short days will he gone.
What an asset to the South it has been
to have hud men of this kind.
At the age of f>F> he received his
diploma from the University of South
Carolina. This is because he left the
institution in the spring, while be was
a member of the senior cIiibs, and
commanded a company of cadets In
the first operations around Charleston.
Later he performed one of the moBt
Jf1P.rWHuJt acts of courage in the
iBory of the war, riding in an open
boat across Charleston harbor under
lire of the enemy, with dispatches for
the detached Confederate forts. For
this gallant work he was given a com
mission In the regulur army of the
Confederacy, and, If we mistake not,
he served in the regulars throughout
the war. He never returned to col
lege but bis alma mater a few years
ago complimented htm with a di
ploma.
His father was colonel for a regi
ment and every brother who was old
enough to bear arms became an of
ficer in the Confederacy.
In 187G he was true to hlB- people
and in later years he was loved, hon
ored and respected.
He lived at a typical Southern home
"Strawberry Hill," and we doubt if
the door was ever shut, except per
haps in severe weather. Hospitality
and charity radiated from its very
presence. ' Capt: Jones possessed the
social elements such as are not per
mitted to many men to enjoy, and was
by nature endowed wit h a love of
music. As a violinist he had few
superiors in the state, and until his
eyesight failed he was for years a
member of the Iredcil orchestra of
Winthrop college.
He was the typical southern gen
tleman. HIb manners were lovely,
mannerisms none. And above all he
was n kindly, gentle and courageous
man. Fow like him are left. The
younger generation of men may be as
true, as honorable, an warmhearted,
but somehow wo miss In the most of
them that Indcfinible charm of cour
tesy which marked tho well bred; well
reared ante bellum man.

I)o the people of South Carolina
realize that if the values of farms
and hoiuct? ami Ptores hud dropped as
much in the last seven years as has
the value of cotton inf 11k. the state
would be lu the midst of a panic?
Do they realize that the owners of
mill sharvs in this state are poorer
by millions on millions of dollars than |
they were seven years ugo?
One does not hear much of it be
cause owners of mill shares usually
own other properties?they are well
to-do people. We could name half a
dozen mills in South Carolina in
which the Investors have lost from
three to five millions of dollars In lute
years.
Share holders have lost money even
In the prosperous mills. There are
mills paying regularly 8 per cent and
the share won't sell for their par
value.
Whenever we hear a mill whistle
sound before daylight, especially In
the winter time, we think of what a
hard life the mill worker's Is. Uy
tin1 way, the man plowing under the
July sun while we write has no easy
job Confidentially, nine or ten hours
in an office in July isn't pleasant.
Conditions in the mills ought to be
Improved. Of that there Is no doubt.
It >h also not to.be denied that they
have been greatly Improved In the last
twenty years. \
We wish that the mill hours were
shorter and that no children worked
in the mills. The State favors, and
urges the raising of the age limit for
child labor ih all industries in South
Carolina.

T?ie rivalry between a South Caro

sharp as that between Grocer Jones
and Grocer Smith whose stoves are on
opposite corners'.
We can't make'mill laws for North

South Carolina.

Two Elec'rlc Railway 'Systems Are
Merged,
The following is from the Manufac
turers F.?cord:
"The Interurbnn railways built In
North and South Carolina by J. B.
Duke and others havo been mergod
under the nume of the Piedmont &
Northern Railway company, und have
filed a mortgage to secure $50,000,000

THE PLAIN TRUTH IS THAT THE
COTTON MILL INDUSTRY IN SOUTH
CAROLINA IS IN A SERIOUS CON
DITION.
Wo hear politicians talk about tpo
northern ownership of the mills. Will
force them into bankruptcy put
them hito the hands of southern peo
ple? The iiiieHtion Is on*e to make any
owner of Kouthcrn mill stocka laugh.
Finding a southern man who will in
vest in mill properties at any price in
these days is not easy. The truth is
that the Yankees can get practically
the whole southern mill industry at
half its cost of establishment or less
If they want It. Rut they don't want
It.
The southern owner of mill shares
in these times is, as a rule, a sick man
so far as his mill shares are concern
ed.
Yet we hear politicians denouncing
the mills and mill owners.
Suppose that politicians should say
that farming is an iniquitous business
in South Carolina, would It help Hie
value of the farm lands? In time, de
nunciation of farming would kill the
business. Either the mills ought to
he closed and the manufacturing of
clothing and thread outlawed in South
Carolina or?
Their affairs ought to be discussed
considerably and understanding^ and
the people who own these properties,
who are trying to keep them going,
ought to be given a chance to save
them.
Do the mill workers wish the mills
closed?
If the denunciation of the mill
business goes on, the mills In time
will close. "Not this year or the next
or the next perhaps?but no industry
can endure assault forever.
The cotton mill industry in Soutn
Carolina is a sick industry now.
If any politician doesn't believe it,
we can refer him to a man who will
sell him shares In a mill that Is npw
running shares that cob?. $100 that once
were worth $120, that have paid no
dividend In six years so that $40 has
been iooi in interest on the money in
vested In each share for $10 a share.
We think he can buy the whole mill at
that price, subject of course to Its in
debtedness.
And we think that our friend can of
fer him any one of 25 or 30 mills in
pretty much tiie same condition and
on similar terms.
However, if it bo advisable, in the
interest of the mill operatives, to kill
the industry, let the hammering pro
ceed.
There is absolutely no danger in
hammering the cotton mills. We
wish the politicians would tako them
and run. them In their way. They
can certainly get them, at .a bargain
price-^-the' whole ' outfit, "lock/ 'stock
and barrel."_'_

A Swiss prison appears to bo. the

In a certain rural school in Cook

1ms been 'organized. Tho boys and

school, put the goods In hampers, and
ship by parcel post to a select list of
customers in tho city. They keep the
records of this club as a ? art cf the
school exercises. They figur? the
profits and the iosses. Ten' years

developed.

ANDERSON IN LEAD
Gets More School Money Than Any]
Other County.
According to information received
from the state department of educa
tion by Superintendent J. B. Felton,
the county of Anderson leads all the
counties in the state of South .^arollnn
In' the amount of money received as
state aid for the schools. Anderson
county received during the year which
closed June 30, 1914. the sum of $13,
077.64. The countv of Greenville "comop I
next with $11.787.32. The third county
is Spartanburg with $10,839.60, and so
on down to Charleston county, which |
toils the ticket with only $586.
The circular received by Superln-j
tendent Felton contains considerable
interesting information, interesting to i
the patrons of the schools of the
county. Particular attention is call-1

says:
An obscure amendment to sectio/
1708 of the code, adopted at the 1914
Bossiun of the legislature, withdrew
i'.om tho state department of edoca
tio,\ the right to issue teachers' cer
tificates. Heretofore such certificates
were issued to:
(a) Full graduates of accredited
colleges In South Carolina whose cur
riculum, standing, faculty and equip
ment had been examined and approv
ed by th? state board of education.
. (b) Full graduates of reputable col
leges and universities located in other
