J. I*. * Jib Knit of BennettHvllle u porn?n?l letter lu which ho very bitterly assails Mr. I'nllock for mentioning the "calico ticket." proposition. Col. Gibson hu>4 the charge against him 1b in famous. The only charge was that ho is ?1 member of Gov. Mease's staff and that his mime was on e ticket in isso along with Home negroes who were candi dates for olili.-. Quite u number of Anderson people saw the ticket and saw the name J. 1'. Gibson. 1 lock made no attack upon Mr. G.?sjii, merely made a statement. This wus done, not to humiliate Col. Gibson, as we judged the incident, but to make sport of Gov. Ulease who had been decrying the negro and any one who would associate in politics direct ly or indirectly with negroes. Mr. Pollock in other words, merely "re plied iri kind" and us>ed no offensive language about Mr. Gibson. Mr Gibson has 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 he was a candidate on the democratic tocket and that his name was put on the republican "calico" ticket without his knowledge or consent Mr. Gib son says in part: "Now I will explain the existence of the "calico checked back ticket," which was eent to Mr. Pollock from this county and which is being exhibited by him In the upper part of the state. That checked back ticket was not our ticket. If ? had to go Into 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. Dr-ajcColl who WBsTroy per sonal friend as long as he lived, and who was the father o? the i present democratic chairman ?of this county, told mo after the.election in r$80, that he and other white republicans in this county had advised the republicans to place our namee on their ticket. Mjr^ name, was placed there*without my consent or knowledge, and any Inti mation ur declaration, that I have ever catered to or affiliated with the ne groes ?r republican party Is an abso lute falsehood as block as perdition." We publish this much of Mr. Gib son's statement in justice to him, al though as we said before. Mr. Pollock instead of trying to mortify poor Col. Gibson seemed to be trying to ridicule Gov. mease's manner of political speech. LET I S HELP NEIGHBORS. J. W. Rothrock, farm demonstrator for Anderson county, has roturned from a trip over a portion of the coun ty visited by hall. This is the section betweet Pcndleton and Anderson, out toward I'ortman. The farms of Mrs. Fred C. Brown, Dr. W. K. Shurpe and others were found to have received severe dam age, the-young cotton being ruined be yond recovery und the old cotton be ing seriously retarded and perhaps killed. Of 1,200 ncrta it is probably that 800 will produco nothing. * ; News wad received here yesterduv ihat Congressman Wyatt Alken had Introduced In congress a resolution to provide $25.000 if so much he nces Kary. for the bem tit of ?ho hail storm sufferers in this county. The Anderson county farmers who have lost so heavily?und some hnvo lost their all in the way of growing crops?are not beggars. They arc true liluc citizens and are game through und through. But It ..{loes seem that when such an unusual and destructive storm comes upon them tiicy should bo ns Hsted to get started again. Some of them live on mortgaged lands. What ? splendid tiling it would bo "if .the alders of the mortgages would walvo tho Interest or ? portion thereof. Some will need nothing but seed ind fertlllzor for towing peas or some other inch crop. We trust that the people ot Anderson will deal gener ously with these people and will aid them to get started agnln.

THE OLI? HI'AKil IS PASSING. With sorrow we r.-iul of llu* parsing 1 of (redoli Jones, lie war inoro than a muti, he was a type. And the Bplcn ?M ruce of which ho was one is pass ing, in a few short daya will ho gone. What mi asset to 111 ? - South it has been to have had men of this kind. At the a?< of liti he received his diploma from the University of South ('andina. This is because he l"ft Mie institution in the spring, while he was u member of the senior class, and commanded a company of cudcts in Mu: first operations arouml Charleston. Later he performed one of the most conspicuous acts of courage in the hist o? y of the war. riding In an open boat across Charleston luirhor under lire of the enemy, with dispatches for the detached Confederate furls. For this gallant work lie was Riven a com mission in the regular army of the Confederacy, and, if we mistake not, be served in the regulars throughout the war. He never returned to col lege but bis almn muter a few years ugo complimented hint with a di ploma. His father wus colonel for u regi ment and every brother who was old enough to bear arms became an of ficer in the Confederacy. In 187U he was true to his people and in later years he was lovad, hon ored and respected. lie lived at a typical Southern home "Strawberry Hill," and we doubt if the door was ever shut, except per haps in severo weather. Hospitality and charity radiated from its very presence. Cupt. Jones possessed the social elements such as arc not per mitted to many men to enjoy, and was by nuture endowed witli a love of music. As a violinist be had few superiors in the state, and until his eyesight fuiled he was for years a member of the Ircdell orchestra of Winthrop college ? ? He was the typical southern gen tleman. His manners were lovely, inann cris m s none. And above all ho Vas a kindly, gentle und courageous man.. Few like him are left. Tho younger generation of men may be aa true, honornble, as warmhearted, but somehow we miss in the most of them that 'indefinible charm o? cour tesy which marked the well bred; well reurcd aute bellum man. -a> a o-.

Do tho people " South Carolina realizo thut ii tho values of farms ami homes- ?un? 'ores Inni dropped as! much in tin hist -uven years as has the vaino ol rottoli mills, the elate would be hi :!>? midst of u panic? Do they roulift- Ihat the owners of mill shares hi this state uro poorer by millions on millions o? dollars than they were seven years ago? One does not hour much of it be cause owners of mill shares usually own other'properties?they are well to-flo people We could name half a dozen mills hi Simili Carolina In which the Invi stars have lost from three to live millions of dollars in late years. Sliaro holders bave lost money even in the prosperous mills. There are mills paying regularly 8 per cent and the share won't sell for their pur value. Whenever we hear a mill whistle sound before daylight, especially In j the winter time, we think of what a bard life the mill worker's is. Uy J the way, the man plowing under the July sun whik we write hus no easy job Confidentially, nine or ten hours in an ottico in July Isn't pleasant. Conditions in tin- mills ought to be Improved. Of that there is no doubt. It is also not to be denied that they have been greatly improved in the last tr/unty 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 lubor in all industries in South Carolina. Hut do we want I he mills destroyed? Would that help the mill people? Ilo they wunt to lie driven buck to the farms or thronn on the world, without employment f Yonder is a mill employing some Massachusetts, North Carolina and hundreds of people. It is making goods in competition with the mills of Pennsylvania but thut is not all. It must^ueet the competition of mills in Japan. England, Germany, China, India and The rivalry between a South Caro li?a mill and one in England is just as sharp as that between Grocer Jones and Grocer Smith whose stores are on opposite corners. We can't make mill laws for North Carolian when we make them for South Carolina. We havVi'pointod to mill legislation that ought to be enacted; there are re forms which we heartily favor and shall work for?but suppose we enact legislation that will close the doors of tho mill,' is the mill worker helped?

The following is from the Manufac turera I'icprjl: '."The interurb?n railways built In North and South Carolina by ?J. B. Duke and others havo beon merged under the name of tho Piedmont & Northern Railway company, and have filed a mortgage to secure $00,000,000 of per cent -10-year bonds, tho Farm ers' Loan & Trust Company, of New York being trustees and the proceeds of the securities being designed for tho construction of extensions and brandies, betterments', etc., in addi tion to pay ment of- the purchase mon ey of the present lines by the rail road company, equipment, real estate, otc. It is expected - at Charlotte, where the headquarters are situated, that a further, extension and more Improvements will be made soon. "Heretofore there have been two companies for theso electric railways, the Piedmont Traction company, op erating between Charlotte and Gas tonta. . ('., 23 miles, and the Green ville. Spartanburg & Anderson Elec tric Ha id way company, operating be tween Spartanburg, Greenville, An deW>u nod Greenwood, S.

It is also imposed to extend north ward from Charlotte to Concord, N.

"Fulfillment of the plans as hero outlined will provide an extensive sys tem of interurb?n olectrlc railways through a rich cotton mill district of tho Carolinas.''"Already .the company has built and Is now oporating 125 miles of lines, with, high-speed pas senger cars, and It is also conducting freight service; Interchanging buelness With the steam railroads. It seems to be understood at Charlotte that fur ther construction will begin with tbe prposed lines northward from here, although work between Gastonia- and j Spartanburg may be started, soon thereafter. Already It is reported that plan$ for a short extension from Gas tonia to King's Mountain aro under consideration." By. Proxy* , Pity the blind!" walled the profes-i slonal beggar.

Comes the day wehn theflree in tho engine room go out not to be lit again. THK PLAIN TIlUTH IS THAT THE COTTON MILL INDUSTRY IN SOUTH CAROLINA IS IN A SERIOUS CON DITION. We liear politicians talk about the northern ownership of tin mills. Will force them into bankruptcy put them into the hands or southern peo ple? The question is one to make any owner of southern mill stocks 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 ir they want it. But 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 I ltd mills and mill owners. Suppose that politicians should say that funning is an iniquitous business in South Carolina, would it help the value of the farm lands? In time, de nunciation of farming would kill the business. Either the mills ought to be closed and the manufacturing '.?f do;hing und tbreud 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 u 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 now running shares that cost $100 that once were worth $120, that have paid no dividend in six years r_ that $40 has been lost In intercet 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 the same condition and on similar terms. However, If it be advisable, In the interest of the mill operatives, to kill the industry, let the hammering pro ceed. ' There 1b absolutely no danger In hammering the cotton mills. We wish the politicians would take them and run them in their way. They can certainly get them at a bargain price?the whole outfit, "lock, stock and barrel."_'_ DO YOU KNOW? A Swiss prison appears to be the very place in which to spend a cheap holiday, as you have practically all you want?a comfortable cell, central heating, "lectrlcity, good food, a fair quantity ol wine or beer and tobac co and a library.
