lands, the city of Manila boasts of
over three hundred saloons. That
looks like the tide of civilization is
rolling in the wrong direction. It
may be said, however, to bo follow
ing the star of empire, which is
claimed by Mr. McKinley and his
political astronomers to be the slur
of destiny.
The people of this country just
now seem to bo taking more interest
in the war in South Africa, than in
the Philippines. They hear enough
from the Philippines to keep them
assured in a general way that the work
of murdering the natives goes mer
rily on, and with that assurance
quietly fixed in mind, they are in
condition to take a lively interest in
the game being played in the Trans
vaal—the more because the fact has
developed that it is emphatically a
game at which two can play, and
play skillfully and vigorously. Such
a game is naturally more interesting
than a game in which one of the
players has it all his own way. 1'p
to this time the Boers have not only
proved a match for England but they
have demonstrated actual superiority
in the field.

Governor McSweency's message is
a lengthy document containing some
good recommendations, a modicum
of pleasant information, some busi
ness sense, and a good deal of bad
logic. He asserts that the dispen
sary is the best solution of the liquor
question, and after recommending
some changes in the administration
of that ft'fdl patronized institution,
he seems to think that it will be en
titled to the hearty endorsement and
support of all rigid thinking people.
He thinks it would be exceedingly
unwise to let the people decide this
question for themselves, for what
reason, lie does not tell us, but we
suppose on the ground that they aie
incapable of deciding it rightly.
Neither does he tell us how he knows

Gaffney is to have another cotton
factory with a capital stock of $^00,-
000. Application has already been
made for a charier and the enter
prise may be considered as certain.
This means expansion of business,
more material growth for Galf-
ney, more people, more money, more
profits for stockholders, more chances
for farmers and truckmen. Lot the
factory he built. We have good rea
son to believe that there is a half
million of idle dollars in and around
Gaffney. There arc millions more
within easy reach waiting for profita
ble investment. When .$200,000 of
this money goes into another cotton
mill, it goes to paying wages, to feed
ing the hungry, to clothing tire
naked, to encouraging industry, to
dignifying labor and mechanical
skill.
Cotton factories are now making
more money than any other class of
industries, and there will he no dan
ger of too many of them for twenty-
live years to come, if ever. I he
leading nations of the world have re
cently declared that the open door to j t | iat dispensary is tm
Asia, should be maintained, and that , jiQ,| of fjn. liquor question
will insure a profitable market for ail derlying principles of the
the cotton goods tout our mills can j moral institution
supply, they may go on multiply- i jqjy ^ democratic form
in:? until they will ho able to spin the |
JU,000,000 of bales that tna South
may be counted on to furnish almost
any year, an 1 still we cannot see
who will be hurl, except England or
some other foreign nation.
The only difficulty or danger that
We can s-e in th ■ too rapid increase
of the number of cotton mills in the
South, is to be found in questions
that pertain to labor. It will he dif
ficult to supply many more cotton
mills in this part of the country with
native white labor, and when the
supply of home labor shall have been
exhausted without meeting the in
creasing demands of the new mills,
then some grave problem will arise.
The mill owners will either have to
utilize negro labor to the great injury
of our agricultural interest, or they
will have to import labor from other
countries.
Either experiment will be hazard
ous. The farmer will quickly fun
into a flame the embers of race prej
udice now happily smoldering; the
latter will introduce a horde of wild,
restless, degraded semi-barbarians,
full of all sorts of political heresies,
with no appreciation of our institu
tions and no regard for law and so
cial order. In either case the door
will be open to social troubles to
which the South up to this time lias
been a stranger.
So far as regards this phase of the
subject, we should prefer to see the
number of cotton mills keep an even
pace with the natural increase of our
native population.

Etta J am:, Jan. 10.—Sam J. Strain
celebrated his twenty-first birthday
last Monday. The occasion was a
happy one, and the young people
amused themselves with innocent
pleasure and with vocal and instru
mental music. None enjoyed the
occasion more than the old people
who honored it with their presence.
To these matronly laffy friends who
contributed to the success of the oc
casion the tlianks of our household
are due. It was a veritable family
reunion in which old hearts beat as
one. There is something sublime, if
not divine, in the word “reunion.”
It has no trifling significance as it Dut it is

vivors of families, or to a botherhood i
and sisterhood in a cause in which ail j
interests are combined as one. To I
gather around the festive board and i
greet each other as brothers and sis- I
ters with the same hopes, joys and j
aspirations, recount life’s battles,
its successes and reverses, is a pleas

appreciate. In accomplishing this

NOTKS AM) COMMENTS.
The Governor’s argument for the
continued support of state colleges is
unique and must be original. Stated
as an enthymene it is this: We
have been doing this thing, therefore
we must continue to do it. We can
make nothing else out of all that he
has to say about the question’s hav
ing been settled.
The Governor recommends that
the regular appropriations be con
tinued to the stale colleges, with
whatever additional amounts they
may need. Ho does not undertake
to say exactly what more they will
need but gives notice that the Presi
dents of these colleges will state
their needs, and of course they would
not say they needed u thing if they
didn’t need it. Of course not.

No question is over settled until it
is settled right. Every so-called set-
tlem nt which is wrong, should 1*0

made right. These assertions have

The following brief history of the
fate of the Apostles may be new to
those whose reading has not been
evangelical:
St. Matthew is supposed to have
suffered martyrdom, or was slain with
a sword at the city of Ethopia in
KgypL
St. Luke was hanged upon an olive
tree in Greece.
St. John was putinto a cauldron of
boiling oil at Rome, and escaped
death. He afterwards died a natu
ral death at Ephesus, in Asia.
St. James the Great was beheaded
at Jerusalem.
St. James the Less was thrown
from a pinnacle or wing of a temple,
and thdn beaten to death with a ful
ler’s club.
St. Philip was hanged up against a
pillar at ilierapolis, a city of Phry
gia.
St. Bartholomew was flayed alive
by the command of a barbarous
Ring.
St. Andrew was burned to a cross
whence he preached unto the people
until he died.
St. Thomas was run through the
body with a lance, at Caromundel, in
the East Indies.
St. Jude was shot to death with ar
rows.
St. Simeon Zeallot was crucified in
Persia.
St. Matthias was first stoned arid
then beheaded.
St. Barnabas was stoned to death
by the Jews at Salania.
St Paul was beheaded at Rome by
the tyrant Nero.

The application for u free ferry at
Howell’s ferry was perhaps properly

commissioners, yet we hear of no ef

us often see their names announced

go to Gaffney simply because they
are compelled to do so. There are

township who perhaps have never

the expense of crossing tin; river is
