TIIK I?EMA?O??I:B'H ?KMTINY In these days, the man who without the bigness of nature and the strength of mind, 1B too assertive, cannot ex pect to ho here for more ?ha? a min uto. Less than u generation ago the populace o? Franco was wild over Hoiilanger. "le brav general." But in time he became a fugitive from his own couutry. In our own country we huve seen the demagogue of today become the vagabond of tomorrow. Sulzer's fall waa a remarkable example of a cheap man riding to a fall. We will point out no" analogies, but will merely recite the history of the French coxcomb to show how fickle ls favor, how futile IB the effort of the demagogue to fool tho people more than for a moment at least. "C'est Boulanger qu'le no? faute" -sang the hysterical and hypnotized populace In the streets of Paris. "He ls Boulanger, he can make no mis take." Just as people have said of other demagogues, "He can '?o no wrong, I believe nothing I soe about him In tho papers." There was a day when Boulanger might have gath ered anil of France in his grasp-but he passed. At one time this French swashbuck ler might have said in earnest: "L'?tat-C'est mol"-"I am tho state. ' This wily politician had practiced the arts of popularity so successfully that he made himself the Idol of the befooled multitude by skillful blus ter and pose. A recently published encyclopedia says: "Through the introduction or some army reforms and appearance of a music hall song In his praise, he was adopted as the embodiment of the "revenge" policy by the Parisians who for some months suffered /rom what was termed Boulanger fever. In 1889 he was prosecuted for his in trigues and fled the country. He was coudemned in his absence and shot himself on his mistress' grave in Brussells." Another writer thus describee the characteristics of the opera bouffe tragedy, le brav' general of a national hysterics : He wa ? pure egoism, enforced by almost superhuman vitality. He had an instinctive feeling of the catchy phrase, the shallow sentiment of the moment. Ho had no convictions on any single subject save his own es sential sublimity. He was absolutely unscrupulous as regarded politics. His shoddy ideal was a military one, and he took care to present himself through the glorified hate of a miii tory record. He vf a- intellectually seven pounds lighter than a straw hat; his speeches and writings crum ble to impalpable dust on analysis. His instincts were, all toward autocra cy, Imperialism, personal rule. The one effective dart against his armor was ridicule, the one thing he feared, tike every charlatan, waa laughter. Or consider certain points of his career. He developed his hold upon the peo ple through advocating "reforms," ?nd "policies" which Insured him ex tensive and continuous advertising. His opponents played Into his hands by attacking his "policies," instead of merely showing that the man was BS hollow as a bladder and that there fore, his advocacy of anything waa meaningless, trivial and Insignificant. They dignified him by Identifying him with a "caus?," whereas the man him self would have collapsed at the pin prick ot coutemjpt and mockery. When he had once gathered his fol lowing in seemed that nothing could check him. He committed blunders repeatedly, that would have ruined any other man. He talked things and did many things that would have Bpelt political death In the ordinary code. He had "Boulanger luck," with him, surviving disgrace, expos ure, loss of office, surviving revela tions of cowardl-e, treachery, mental dishonesty. Apparently he was above all laws. Apparently it was written as a grim jest that a great notion Should come to wreck upon the igno rant, absurd, dangerous little man; that civilisation should turn back an of - fifty years at the pompous ges to, c of this blatant demagogue. Bul Boulanger passed. He carried within himself the seeds of his own u??iruc?'on. His fever oi asubiiioa mounted too rapidly and he was consumed. Money to burn-tobacco Income. A good highway makes the low cost, of living. Why not issue bonds to retir* ?Le floating debts of the city? When a yoong man calls on a young lady on Sunday night, he is likely to be led to church some Weddlngsday evening. The morality ot a community will never be higher than lu ideals. An derson is a elana town. .'? .-. , ? ...... "MY BOTH K K'S KEEPER" Thc farmer will be Hw man to feel least the privations which may he caused by the present war crisis. Occasionally a farmer owes a little money and he Hhould pay it Just as tho local nu-rehaut .should pay IIIB obligations when due. The farmer will pay his debts when lie sets the chance. Noury every farmer in An ?derson county eau go another year without buying necessities. Meat and bread hare been produced by thc sensible farmers and they are inde pendent. The greatest weight of privation will fall upon the mechanic and the mill operative. Building operation), which for two years past have been lively, may suffer curtailment and carpenters and bricklayer? may be laid off. It is to them more than to the farmer that our sympathies should be given. The farmer is inde pendent if he owns his fnrm, no mat ter how small it may be. The mill operative is another whose happiness and prosperity is in the keening of fate. dome mills In other sections of the date have Buffered seriously already. 'The mill managers of the South are splendid humane men. In ordinary circumstances they would keep their mills running at a loss to give em ployment to their people. Many mean things, and false, have been written in Northern Journals with roferenco to out milli, and mill peo ple. We are, and of a right should bc oroud of the mill people of the South. They aire industrious, thrifty-and what is more, moral and Christian. There is eraplanted in the soul of tho average mill person a deeply relig - ious sentiment, for the most of the population of our mills come from the nativo inhabitants and with their natural instinct combined with the religious opportunities afforded by the manufacturing enterprises, and the well equipped schools, we find that the mill wokrkers are becoming a class of citizenship which, if undis turbed by demagogues or by alien haranguer, will be the model for thc entire world. They have become in telligent, saving and ambitious peo ple, and If this war keeps up they will feel it more deeply than any other class of people In this country, for many mills may be made idle. Illustrating the deep implanted de sire of these people for the better things of life ls the interest they take in improving their little homes, and the earnestness with which they strive- ;Ur prizes when the mills of fer them.. The announcement of the prize w Inners appeared i thu pan per yesterday. We congratulate the Gos sett Mill management . in Anderson and In Wllliamston for encouraging its employes to havo their flower gar dens and their vegetable gardens. The mill people are good, people. The 1 mill management does well to hold i out to them opportunities and to in still into their hearts the wish to pro gresa unceasingly In self-improve ment. It is necessary that all good peo ple stick together no matter what their surrounding or environment, and lt there le any allegation of clan nishness with reference to the miU people lt ls not their fault. They are sensitive, they do not wish to make the first advancea, but they will re spond every time to the friendliness, of the people of other vocations and walks of lite. . . This ls a time when all men are placed on a common plane to face thc enemy-stern fate. A BAD POLICY Governor Blease In a statement declaring bis reasons for calling a special session ot tho legislature, re fers to the financial obligations of the state. It is true that S. T. Carter, state treasurer, and A. W. Jones, comptroller general, did arrange tor a loan to carry the state until taxes begin to come In, but there ls on as surances that the loan can be extend ed, and especially at the low rate of ?Interest secured during the summer. I The governor suggests that the time for paying taxes should be ex tended to order to benefit the poor people. We think this ie s bsd prop osition. About four-fifths of the tax es of the state are paid by corpora tiona and'by large towns end cities. The corporations would thus be en abled to keep from paying taxes to the state and save the interest on their money fer weeks. Such a law' would not In the end be of much ben efit to the poor man. What we need Ia legislation to put money into circulation, not to cause more stagnation. Bellet Ship Sails.

Mc Mahan 1? In the tlilnl primary for the 1 house of representative front Rich- ' land county. Ho has hoon al! hut * overwhelmed again hy tho solid vote ' of the cotton mill district, which will . never forgive him for th" advocacy of < tho reform of the primary and his 1 putting through the bill for the com mission form of government in Co- ' lumbla, with the regulation of thc city \ primary. I Mr. McMahan has been an exception among the politicians ia ?ot being 1 "politic" and in seeking always to ? serve tho people first and think not of I m li. When the need of re- ?I forming the primary was generally felt be alone of all the public men in tho I stale set himself squarely to thc task of arousing public opinion to the ue- ' cessity for that reform. <Jilter men t prominent tn politics were discreetly silent or very mild in their advocacy i of primary reform. Ho went the lim- t it und wrc e on the subject every 1 week for a /ear and cheerfully took upon himsoli' all of tho antagonism ] and his unswerving course was sure | to arouse. But for his work the pri mary would not have been reformed, i and Blease would bc the nominee for the United States senate and Rich- i ardB thc nominee for governor of South Carolina. \ Richland county has repudiated < Blease and Richards, but has not yet elected John McMahan to the houso of ( representatives though he is the fore- - most fighter in the redemption of the ] state. He is in a third primary. ? The county hus elected four members of tho house, strong and splendid men. ] though for tbe most part unknown to t the state. He is contending for thc j fifth place with a young man, unknown who seems to have received the solid , Blease vote and some anti-Blease sup port. The county Is proud of its tri umph over Rlcase and is forgetful of, j the man to whom the triumph is chiefly due. The people of the state \ will hope for a more consistent re^ j ^ult In the third primary. The people' :i of the state want the services of John McMahan in the legislature. Almost . any othor county would have elected him at the head of its ticket. Rich- , land injures herself if she loses the opportunity to have thc influence in' legislation which his presence in her, delegation wluld give her. OFFICIAL REPORT !
