The Printers's Bill.

peal to the People to Rectyy these
Wronqs.
To the Citizens of Fairfield :

To the Citizens of Fairfield
I promised to say few more words
abeut the printing bill before we pass to
the consideration Of other outrages
which are being daily perpetrated upon
common decency and our liberties. in a
spirit Of effrontery, unknown in South
Carolina until the advent Of Tillmanism.
LIE. us suppose that the County Com
missioners Of Fairfield had advertised
as they did-for bids for the
rebuilding of our bridges recent tly
swept away by the freshet, and that
when the bids are opened the commits
sioners should select the highest bid,
assigning as the reason that the lowest
bid was only handed in about twenty
minutes before the time Of action
which am told is the reason assigned
by our Senator for his vote, or that
the reason for believing that the lowest
bidder was trying to crush out the other
fellow by doing the work too cheaply-
this, hear, is a reason given by men,
ber for his vote. What would you think?
what would you say of such trausac-
ton? Is it honest and square? hardly
think you will say So But the cases
are not parallel, for the Legislature
went much farther in the matter of
printing They nos only ignored the
lowest bidder, but disposed of
the matter for two years, SO
no more bidding-no more COM
petition-vould be allowed, and
elected public printer after the fashion
of the radicals-they are follwiug SO
closly-just as though the County
Commissioners had elected public

bidders,.

A Successful Man.

Mr.. Phil Armour, the great Chicago
capitalist, has some ideas aud methods
which are in accord with those Of the
late George W. Cbilds.
The Chicago millionaire is the great
est trader 10 the world. He employs
10000 persons, pays 81. 900, 900 yearly
in wages, owns 1000 cars and 800
horses. He is not only philanthropist
but an optimist, and, speaking of the op-
portunities for our young men in the
future, he says:
Wealth, capital, can do nothing with
out brains to direct it. 1t will be as
true in the future as it is 10 the present
that brains make capital-capital does
not make brains. The world does not
stand still. Changes come quicker
now than they ever did, and they will
come quicker and quicker. New ideas,
new inventions, new methods of manu-
facture, of transportation, new ways to
do almost everything, will be found as
the world grows older, aud the men who
anticipate them. and who are ready for
them. will find advantages as great as
any their fathers or grand fathers
have had.
Mr.. Armour believes in living in to-
day, and not in yesterday. He frankly
admits that be does not hold the same
opinions that be held twenty years ago,
and says that heis willing to change his
views to suit the times. Talking about
his habits and methods he says:
A man must master his undertaking,
aud not let it master him. He must
have the power to decide quickly, even
to decide instantly, on which side be is
going to make his mistakes. As for
application, no great thing is doue
without that. In my own case | have
carried into business the working habits I
learned as boy on New York farm.
All my life I have been up with the sun.
The habit is as easy at sixty. one as it vas
at sixteen perhaps easier, because
| am hardened to it. | have
my breakfast, by half-past 5 or 6
o'clock; walk down town to my Office
and .am there by 7 o'clock, and I know
what is going on in the world without
having to wait for others to come and
tell me. At noon I have simple lun-
cheon Of bread and milk. aud after that,
usually, short nap, which freshens me
again for the afternoons work. [ am
in bed again at 9 o'clock every night.
This is the talk Of a typical American
business man. The men who have
achieved the greatest success in our
cities started in life as poor country
boys. They made money because they
had brains, integrity and industry. There
will always be opportunities iu this
country for such men, and it is pessi-
mistic and foolish to say that conditions
have changed to such an extent as to
bar out the youngsters who possess these
qualities. Boys with the gifts and tai
euts of a Childs or an Armour will
make their way in the future as they
have in the past Atlanta ConstItu-

Before Tennessee had seeded, Peter
Turney, its present governor, had
organized brigade and gone 70 the
front Once, while in winter quarters
with Georgia brigade. religious
revival broke out among the soldiers.
After few days Yurney asked how
things were progressing, and was in
formed that twelve Georgiaus had been
converted "And how many Tennes-
seeaus ?'' inquired the governor. Mot
a one, was the reply. ''What,

Hard, Cold Facts.

Has anybody noticed how iuvaria-
bly, Governor Tillman has tricked,
deceived any spurned everybody Who
has tried to win has favor by conces-
sion or compromise? Here are the
good people who thought they would
perhaps, win a little refawm good
will and secure for the cities some
drippings from dispensary profits by
signing petitions for dispensaries.
They must enjoy the developments Of
the law, especially when the Governor
says: "Make your police dispen-
sary police, let them be spies aud de-
tectives paid by you to enforce my
law or will coniscate your share Of
the dispensary profits
Now let US observe results. We
will see that where communities are
submissive pretexts will be made and
their small shares Of the dispensary
profits will be seized anyhow In
Greeuville, for instance, the profits
for the first year promise to be $500.
An election is coming on. That S3,-
500 can be seized and used to pay four
Tilman heelers and tbree.quarters
of Tillman beeler at the rate Of s. a
day for year VIII such an opportau-
ity be neglected? Not much. There
is regular bonanza ahead-a perma-
nens campaign fand with an army Of
workers supported by the people.
The refawm cause is going into the
next campaign 10 fne shape. 1t has
an organ supported by the people
1t will have about 1000 active Office
ho!ders-one to every Fifty 'refawm"
voters-6eiug paid BY the people.
With this equipment it ought to be
invincible. Certainly no other party
or faction, including the radicals, ever
collected from the people as much
money as is now being exactcd under
refawm law and administration or af-
aicted the people with as many Office
holders as we new have in the name
Of "refawm''
This is not "abuse,'' it is not ''ven-
om." That is what refawm organs
call it. but it is really cold, hard fact.

into any but the Metropolitan uhrll
the Suburban is run. He should be
fresher and stronger than any of the
'Big Four or field horses, who have
all undergone some arduous work al
ready. But he viii have to fight all
the way around the course at that, to
win, so exceptionally good are the
horses pitted against him.
With the weight at which he won
the Brooklyn Handicap-112 pounds
DR.. Rice would be the most dangerous
adversary Lamplighter would have. In
deed, he would likely win / said be-
fore that after the Handicap believed
that the doctor was the better horse at
weights, liz pounds against 122 and 120
respectively, of either Clifford or Sir
Walter. He proved it with Sir Walter
and would have done SO, think, with
Clifford had the great western crack
made good start and not been left at
the post.
In the Suburban, however, DR.. Rice
will have a heavier impost. For every
stake race he wins between the Handi-
cap and Suburban days he will
be penalized five pounds. He has
already won one such race and
in all likelihood win win one
or even two more. So that he may
have to carry 122 or even 127
pounds. He is not as strong an animal
as Lamplighter, and certainly cannot
carry as much weight as the son OF
Spendthrift if he is in proper condition.
and win have a hard enough task to
hold him on even terms throughout the
race with five pounds less weight to
carry. With 122 pounds up, the doctor
should make great battle for first or
second place.
Clifford and Sir Walter will unques-
tionably put up great fight at the
Suburban. If they are bit off condi-
ton now, as some keen sportsmen aver,
they are almost sure to be on edge on
June i6, because they will have plenty
of time for rest and toning up. Both
are great horses. Clifford has a mag
nifcent western record. Before COM
ing east he had participated, I am in
formed, in twentyseven races, twenty
three of which he won, coming in sec
ond twice, third once and only being
unplaced once. It was too bad he was
left at the post in the Handicap. 1
trust that he will have better luck in
the Suburban and get off well and
show what is in him. A horse is game,
speedy and enduring as he may win
the need of victory, but 1 pin my faith
to Lamplighter.

TAKING THINGS LITERALLY.

People Who Take q Great Deal Of Pains
to "Oblige" Others.
There is an old story told of man
who was walking along the streets Of
a certain city one night. When he was
opposite to doctors residence, he saw
by the glare of an electric light bell
handle at the side of the door, over
which was the inscription:
please ring this bell at night"
He mounted the steps, gave the bell
hard pull, and waited. A window
overhead was opened, and a grut
voice, presumably that OF the doctor.
asked what he wanted /;
Nothing" was the reply.
"Then what did you ring the bell for
and wake me out OF sound sleep9
demanded the doctor, angrily.'
"Well," said the man, when you put
up notice which says: Please ring
this bell at night common politeness
makes me stop and do it. But you
dent seem to be used to it. Maybe the
folks here are not as polite as I am.
Well, goodnight"
And he went down the steps, while
the doctor slammed his window in .
towering rage.
A dear old gentleman, who visited
New York recently, has also habit OF
taking things literally, and is SO kind
hearted that he is always ready to fall
in with the wishes of other people,
even at trouble or Inconvenience to
himself. The day after his arrival in
the city he stepped into the office of
large coal dealer, and asked if the
proprietor was at home. Upon being
shown into the private Office of that
gentleman, he took a seat and began:
'You see, sir, live away up In War
rem county-two hundred or more
miles from here. Now, to ship coal
two hundred miles from here would be
mighty costly. 1t would have to go
over three roadsthe New York & Hud-
son River road, the Delaware Hud-
son and the Adirondack road-unless
/ sent it up by the boat, which would
mean loading and unloading and load
ing again. Besides, mostly up there
where l live, the folks burn wood,
though I do use some coal myself"
"But, dear me, what!' said the as
tonished coal dealer, as soon as he could
get chance to say something; why,
what is the meaning of all this? /
haven't proposed to send coal to you up
in Warren county"
mo, sir" replied the old gentleman,
rising from his chair; ''but when I'm
asked question, 1 always answer 1t Il
/ can"
II was not aware that had put
question to you," responded the coal
dealer. rather irnpatiently.

swered the old gentleman; but, as /
was passing by, on my way down town
by the elevated, l saw u sign you had
put out, asking: Why don't you buy
your coal from us?' and / thought, II
you took the trouble to put that ont,

in and explain Good morningT
And he went ont, leaving the coal
dealer amazed and speechless.--Goldep

Smashed the Gamblers Tools.

Chicago, September 20.-The gamblers
who have looked on with a smile at the
efforts of the civic federation to close them
up, are tonight genuinely alarmed and not
a single gambling house is open. Early
in the day the mayor ordered the places
closed and his orders were promptly
obeyed. Notwithstanding this the House
of David and the Newport Club were raid
ed on the search warrants issued by Judge
Brentano yesterday. The sheriff took two
very valuable layouts, and, although he
was served with writs of replevin, he re-
fused to return the property until ordered
so to do by Judge Brentano. The matter
was carried into court and Judge Brentano,
refusing 10 surrender the paraphernalia,
ordered it destroyed. 1t carried into
the basement of the county building where
six deputy sherffs smashed it into kindlins
wood with axes. This new tack on the
part of the reformers gives the gamblers
good cause for alarm their ever-ready
replevin writs likely 10 prove useless,
and they are left no ground on which to
stand.
