NOTES ANO COMMENTS. The carpet bagger is spreading himself liiie a green bay tree in Cuba, and is casting longing ejes towards the Philippines, where when the favorable moment arrives, he will strike root quickly, surely, and deeply. In Cuba the amount of known defalcations foots up to aoout $125,000. Rut known amounts cut a small figure in the operations of the carpet bagger. The situation pre sents something like the following mathematical problem for states men, political economis's, and moral ists to solve. Given the instincts and habits of the carpet bagger and $125,- 000 known, to find amounts not known and that never will be known. The man who will solve this problem will go down to posterity by the side of Repler, Newton, Leverrier and Adams. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Senator Clark, of Montana, has recently been giving an exhibition on the political gymnasium, which places hii^ by the side of Roberts in unenviable notoriety. It was claimed that he got into the Senate by fraud, and it became clear to him that he would be unseated. At the same time the governor of Montana was absent from the State and the lieu tenant governor who was in collusion with Clark was in the governor's chair. So Clark sent in iiis resigna tion as Senator and thereby stopped ail proceedings against him. The lieutenant governor immediately re appointed him, and now the governor has returned and annulled the ap pointment. Here is a sample of the politicians—of the men who make laws for us and preside over the des tinies of the icpublic. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ A very interesting damage suit came of! in Spartanburg last week. L. P. Walker a wealthy merchant sued W. E. Burnett, cashier of the National Bank for $20,000 damages caused by wounds inflicted on the face and about the eyes by Burnett, while the two were engaged in a fight in the back room of the bank. Ac cording to the evidence Walker struck Burnett with an umbiella whereupon Burnett drew a pen knife and cut Walker several times in the face disfiguring him to some extent and endangering the sight of one of his eyes. The jury failed to give Walker any damages, and we think they acted wisely and justly. When one man pushes a gght on another he assumes all risks of damage to him self, and he has no right to claim that his antagonist shall make repa ration for any injuries incurred, lie proposes to inflict all the bodily hurt he can upon that antagonist and he doesn’t mean to pay for it afterwards in dollars, and he should be generous enough to accord the same privileges to the man whom he attacks. ♦ ♦♦♦ Tho State of South Carolina is pensioning her needy veterans at an average of a little over twelve dollars apiece for a year, or about one dol lar a month. There are hundreds of these men who scorn to accept this acknowledgement of their services at the hands of the State. Though many of them are poor and needy, they prefer to maintain their man hood to the bitter end. But there are hundreds of others who cao exer cise no choice. They are incapable of making a living and they must ac cept whatever help is offered regard less of source or spirit. And these are the men that upheld the honor of the State through four years of blood and flame. And these are the men that in ; 7G overturned the carpet bag government, and gave the State back to its rightful owners! In the mean while that State is pensioning young men and women, the sons and daughters of wealthy or well-to-do parents at something like an average of two hundred dollars apiece or twenty dollars a month. These young men and women are hale and hearty and abundantly able to take care of themselves. How is all this! It looks like the scales of justice had changed ends and thrown the moral world into confusion. The battle of Cowpens is barely mentioned in most Northern his tories and is entirely ignored in some. This is not because it was an unim portant battle, for it surpassed Lex ington in magnitude and Bunker Hill and Mammoutb in importance. Indeed in its results both material and moral it out ranks Saratoga or any other victory gained by the American arms except that of York- town. Neither is this silence to be attributed to the prejudice of North ern historians, for though the battle was fought by Southern men on Southern soil, there was no prejudice then existing between the two sec. tions. They stood side by side in a common cause, and Cowpens and Saratoga were handed down as a common heritage. No, the unjust discrimination is due entirely to the silence, the indifference, the apathy of the South hejvelf It is high time this attitude should be changed. Let the people of this community turn out next Saturday at the buttle ground and do their part towards bringing about the change. It is with them that the change must begin. Once proper y begun it will spread all over the land. The shocking tragedy enacted on a street car in which a bright, promis ing young man was killed by a negro dude, and the negro was immediately slain by the indignant spectators, contains some features which ought to be recognized as differentiating the whole affair from the usual crimes that are followed by lynchings. Some of our contemporaries are attempting to draw fine distinctions between the theory and practice of lynching, and to condemn the theory, while for such an unprovoked and inhuman crime as that perpetrated in Augusta, they hold that lynching is justifiable. The truth is that the s«ifl vengeance taken on the inhuman and impudent wretch in Augusta is not the kind of lynching we have always condemned. It was the spontaneous action of men who were horrified and outraged by the suddenneas and barbarity of the crime; and they acted more like the man who in hot blood shoots down the man who has without provocation just slain his friend—perhaps his brother. They were not justifiable but they were excusable. They were not lynchers, but were acting under the impulse of hot bicod and despe ration, and as such they are not to be classed with lynchers as we have known them in South Carolina. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The people who do not lu-nor the deeds and keep alive the memories of their ancestors, will never do any thing worthy of being remembered by their descendants. It was Macaulay that said that, or some thing like that, and it is as true ndw as when he uttered it. Just now, circumstances appeal more loudly to the South than ever before, to honor the memories of the past and to keep the iccords clear. The South has made history, but with in difference she lias left it to her ene mies to tell her story, and they have tainted it with their own prejudices and colored it to flatter their own vanity. This state of things has al ready existed too long, and if South ern men and women permit it to exist still longer they are far gone in degeneracy and utterly unworthy of the rich legacy left them by their ancestors. The Civil War ended at Appomattox, but the principles for which Southern men stood and fought, and died, did not end there, nor will they ever end until they end in triumph. Might is not right, though the whole world say it is, and all of its triumphs over right are only temporary and evanescent. The time comes in the march of ages, when the arm of might is paralized, and right stands further serene, defiant, and invincible. Kouttiern Mill* Elourlitliiiiif, Editor Manufacturers’ Record: The cotton mills of the South have had the best six months ending March Hist than ever before in their history. As an illustration, the Clif ton Mills, and also the D. E. Con verse Company, both o! this county, have just di-cl a red an extra 2 per cent, dividi-nd, payable at once, and as usual, 5 per cent, fur July and 5 per cent, for January, 1001 The Clifton Mills, on u capital of $1 OOU,- 000. made something more tnan #400 0<J0; Converse ^umpnny made $70,000 on $H00,000. The Laurens Cotton Mills netted $171 000’ on a capital of $H50 000. Everything said about the manufacture of cottoft in the South by the Manufacturers’ Record is proving to be a fact every day, and the building of cotton mills seems only to have just commenced, But tfie best moral taught by the Manufacturers’ Record's able articles on (lie manufacture of cotton is the splendid dividends which are now falling into the hank accounts of cotton-mill investors. In Spartanburg county the cotton mills, banks and railroads pay more than 51 per cent, of the entire taxes, and tiiis is why Spartanburg county ■bonds bearing 4 per cent, are selling at a premium. The I'acolet Cotton Mills’ stock is quoted at 250, and no offers at tiiis figure. JK*iSK Cleveland. Spartanburg, H.

A Negro and White Man Create Some Excitement. Yesterday about 12 o’clock a white man and negro drove up to Cline Bros, livery stables in a new top buggy with a bay mare hitched to it that seemtd to be pretty well tired down end asked that the mare be fed. Upon inquiry they said they had started from Rock Hill before day yesterday morning. The white man, who gave his name as Cantrell, soon began to try to sell the buggy and harness. Alter the mare had eaten and was again hitched to the buggy, he became more anxious to sell and finally offered the buggy and harness for twenty-five dollars. His conduct became so suspicious that a bystander went for an officer. As soon as the officer got in sight Cantrell urgid the negro to leave and they went in a hurry, followed by the bystanders on foot, and were soon out of town with the crowd following. Some went on wheels, others return ed and got horses and pursued them to the branch west of the James Betty place, where officer Lockhart was about to overtake them. The white man jumped out of the bugzy and took to the woods. The negro, seeing he was caught, remained and stopped the buggy and officer Lock hart took charge of him and the team. The negro gave his name as Burrow Liles and said lie lived near Boiling Springs, in Fpartanburg county, and the white man with him lived near him ar.d was t amed Charley Tinsley; that the buggy and harness belonged to Tinsley ai d the mare to himself. Liles said he was ail right and only ran because Tin-h-y told him to and didn’t know why he (Tinsley) was so anxious get away. Liles referred the officers to Mr. John Cudd, of Spartanburg, from whom he said he had bought the mare. Mr, Cudd was interviewed over the 'phone and confirmed the negro’s statement relative to where he got the mare. The negro and team were detained until further in vestigation can be made. The strange part of the affair is that both the white man and the ne gro made such a desperate effort to Escape. They pressed the mare to tht' top of her speed and both seemed equally anxious to get away. A full investigation may reveal more than the negro told. COWPENS CELEBRATION. It Take* I'laec Saturday and Will hr a Succe*#. The committee apnointed by the Cowpens Battlegrour d Memorial As sociation to select speakers and make final arrangements for the celebration to be held at the Battleground Satur day, May 2Gth ; is bard at work. The programme that is being a: ranged \vi:l undoubtedly prove a most attractive one, and it is said that the Hon. John 'fYmp e Graves, of Atlanta. Ga , and Gen. Le Roy F. Youmans of Columbia, S. C., will be the orators of the day. Mr. Graves is a young man—a journalist of note— and a speaker surpassing in point of eloquence the late Henry \V. Grady. Gen. Youman’e reputation is not confined to .state lines. It was hut a short lime ago that lie was invited to Virginia to speak. A man of charm ing personality, possessed of remark able information and great eloquence, it is useless to say that with such a subject ns be has been requested to speak on, he will, as he has on all occasions, charm his audience. And. it may be added here, that while the celebration last year was a great success, the one on the 2Gth will be a still greater one. Between five and six thousand people were present on that occasion. This year tht number will exceed that. The efforts of the association to procure the money with which to purchase the land at and near the old monu ment, are beginning to tell. The land will be purchased and this historic ground turned into a beauti ful park. And when Congress passes the bill which is now before it relative to the matter the area will be Increased. In other words—a .National I'urk. l.liiH'Mtuiie College Cuunui'iiccuiMut. 'Hie exercises of Limestone College commencement will begin on Sunday, the Hrd of June, when Rev. Mr. Buekholtz, of Chester, will preach the commencement sermon, and will continue till and including Wednes day, the Gth. This has been a suc cessful session at Limestone with good attendance. The fine work being done at Lime stone College and the splendid addi tions to, and general improvements made on the college and the thorough equipment of every department, war rants the iiope that the next session will open with an unusually large number of students. The graduating class of 1‘JOO will be composed of the following young ladies: Misses Clair Brown, Annie Denny, Annie Brown, Margaret Mc- Kie, Violet Moonhead. Kay Macom- son, Corrie Kmilh, Maud Thompson, Nancy Thompson, and Besb ; e Walker, WiiiUiro|> Colit'KO.
