Why Not Bring Them to Fairr.eids

The Waldensean Colony which set
tied in North Carolina is preparing 10
pick up and leave, and the News and
Courier wants to know why they cam
not t.c induced TO come to Sou!h Care :
Iina. We would like to know why
they cannot be brough; to Faii field
County.
Accord ng to a North C:rrli"a he" s
pa3tr, from which our Cha les on con
temporary takes an eX'rac, t'sr' are
several causes which have lc | them 10
the ncce ssitv of aban !onins the settle
meat. Chief among the causes Is bad
treatment. This should not have been
so, and if they will come to Fairfield
County, our people will guarantee TO
them that they shall be we'll treated,
and encouraged in every possible way.
It is also said that they were settled
on bleak scrub pine hills, and couldn't
make living out of the land, although
they worked hard. We have plenty
of good land in this county that will
give them good comfortable living,
if they will work as the: have done in
North Carolina, and they cali get the
land cheap.
1t seems that the Colony will follow
Mr.. John Meier of the Hosiery Mills.
We advise our farmers, who have more
land than they can possibly work TO
communicate with MIR. Meier, at
him full particulars Of their lands, and
state exactly what they will sell land
for. Put your land down at the very
lowest figures, aid offer him good
terms, allowing a very low late Of
interest, and long tina. o.; curse,
he wants his mills on the railroad, and
it would be we'll to give him site for
nothing. Prompt and intelligent action
may get these people to settle among
Us. We certainly arc in position 10
make them a good offer. 1t saems to
US that good lands can be had Cor from
IS to S. per acre, and on them can be
grown as greater variety of crops as
anywhere else in tn; world. If good
treatment, good water, good lands at
low price, an unrxc lied climate
avail anything, then these people can
find no better place than Fairfield
County.

he Declares, and it VIII be Hard to Frame
Constitution Now.
To the Editor of the Greenvil.e News:

The expense of convention is very
heavy on the people these hard times.
1t is true the Legislature seems to have
regarded that as 8 mere bagatell: by
appropriating only $4,000 to meet it,
but it will require twice or thrice that
sum in the end, even though the act
calling the convention does attempt to
limit the pay of delegates to 81 day
manifestation Of mean pareimony, a
futile nsurpation truly cotemptib!e
when it is remembered that the legis-
la:ors themselves got 81 per Gay (tried
hard for So and that the convention
is sovereign above the Legislature,
with absolute power 10 regulate its
OWN pay and that of every department
of the government.
If it we're not prompted by deep de-
sign, it is very absurd for Legislature
so economical as eur last one pro-
fessed to be, TO have called a conven-
ton Of 160 members-equal to the
whole number of the House aud SEN
ate when it might have consisted of
only 124 members, the number of
Representatives in the House. 1t
would have reduced the expenses
enormously and would have added
intellectually to the general efficiency
of the convention.
In framing all organic law, a small,
select body Of moderate, wise and ex-
perienced men is far more likely to do
the work well and expeditiously than
multitude, including many incom-
petent charlatans and demagogues, a
third of the crowd, perhaps, who
would rather mar than promote results
by talking buncombe and voting to
grind axes. But few such delegates
reFer9isten to reason, while qualified,
capable delagate is not only averse to
such associates but objects to sharing
responsibility for foolish or corrupt
measures.
Of course, the g; eatest obstacle to a
successful convention in South Caro-
lima now is that we are q conquered

we please. Some of our Reform lead

EX-Secrctary Whitncy'S opinions Of
coming changes in the positions towards
silver of the great European nations have
several reasons Mr.. Whitney has Just
returned from Europe, where he has en-
ioyed unusual opportunities to get at the
the sentiment of the influential people; he
is a close Observer, and, if he 50 wills, his
nance for becoming the Presidential can
didate Of the Democratic party is second
to that IF no man. These are some of the
reasons which have added interest to his
words: Il firmly believe that the CONNER
cial nations of the world are rapidly fall
ing into line on the silver question. Ger
many has decla ed in favor of silver on
some basis, and France has recently come
forward with Il similar expression. Europe
would certainly like to see silver "e-eStah-
liShed in the monetary systems of the
world. 1t all depends upon England. In
unofficial circles and among the political
economists connected with the great seats
| of learning in England, the cry is for the
RECOMMENDATION of silver. Even among
the bankers and merchants silver has many
strong friends, who do not fear to speak
openly and fearlessly in favor of the de-
spised metal. If this sentiment can be
crystalliZed into a movement in favor of
an international agreement upon silver,
then England, which at present Is the most
formidable enemy of the white metal. will
be brought into line in favor of it

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

W~AsHINGToN, ID. c., June 3.
MIR. EDIToR:-There is nothing worth
contradicting in the reviewed rumors about
| President Cleveland's health, but Just to
show in what a robust state of health he is
it may be mentioned that. although Satur-
| dav was one of the warmest June DAYS
ever experienced in Washington he drove
in from Woodley and spent the entire day
at work in the White House, clearing his
desk of the business which had accumula-
ted while he went to Chicago to attend
Secretary Gresham's funeral. President
| Cleveland isn't going to Gray Gables be
cause he is sick, but because of the com
fort and recreation he can find there in
warm weather.
Anybody is free to guess at the name of
| the next Secretary of State, but that is all
| that can be done at this time. The bust
ness Of the State department is not suffer
ing while in charge of Acting Secretary
Uhl, and there is no reason for any hurry
in filling the vacancy 1t is a very impor-
tant position and President Cleveland will
wish to consult with Il number of leading
democrats before he makes a tinal decision.
Mrs. Gresham, who went to Chicago
with the remains of her late husband, will
not return to Washington. She will make
her home With her Sol who resides in
Chicago.
Postmaster General Wilson has gone to
oxford Miss, Where he will deliver the
annual address at the commencement of
the University of Mississippi.
Secretary Herbert will attend the COM
! mencement exercises at the Naval Acade-
my. at Annapolis, this week, and next
week he will deliver an address to the
| graduates of the agricultural and Mechan-
zeal College at Auburn. Ala.
The latest straddle combination talked
| of by the republicans is Morton of New
York, and Dubois of Idaho. 1t is c~alcula-
ted by the republicans who are trying to
push this combination, that it would, like
the negroes coon scheme, "kctch EN-
gwine and ketch 'em comm" Governor
Morton would get the support of the bank
ing and moneyed interests of the middle
and eastern states, and Senator Dubois
I would raise the widest enthusiams among
| the silver republicans of the northeast, not
! only on account Of his very pronounced
silver views, but because of the belief
that if the ticket was elected he
would almost certainly be President before
1901. Some people may consider such Il
combination too great an absurlity to be
a success, and perhaps it is. Nevertheless
it is being seriously pushed by men WhG
do not waste their time on what they do
not think they can make IA success Of.
These men will carefully watch the effect
of the silver straddle adopted by the Ohio
republicans, at the suggestion. or COM
mand-take your choice-of Senator sLer-
man. Ifthat s1raddlc meets with sufficient
republican favor in other states to make it
the basis of the silver plank adopted by
the republican national convention, as
Senator Sherman and other prominent re
publicans are confident il will, the men he

la PLATA THE COUNTY SEAT.

The Baltimore Sun has this to sayabout
the recent election in Charles county:
The people of Charles county are to be
congratulated on the result of the election
of Tuesday, which made La Plata the u
tv seat. 1t was a wise selection. When
if became a settled fact that Port Tobacco
was to be given up for good and sufficient
cause all the old rivalry between the old
capital and La Plata ceased. The interests
of Port Tobacco became merged in La
Plata. whittier some of the people trans
ferred their residence and their business.
1t was generally realized that it was to the
advantage of the whole county that the
future seat of local government should be
a busy and prosperous town, having rail
road, telegraphic and other necessary bust
ness facilities. No other town in the coun-
tv possesses these qualifications to a great
er degree than La Plata. and its selection,
therefore, was on sound business grounds
and for the public convenience.
The new county seat is IA town of natu-
raj and healthy growth. 1t came into eN-
istence because it was needed, and its
prosperity is an indication that progress
i've ideas and methods of business have
taken root in the soil. We trust that this
election will demonstrate the folly of ring.
ing politics into everything, and that here.
after business considerations will be per
mitted more and more to shape results. Il
is a good thing to have a county govern
ment surrounded by a progressive people
engaged in active business pursuits. 1t i:
to be hoped, too, that now the question i:
settled all bitterness engendered by it viii
disappear, that contention will cease ant
that in the neal future the only ~rivalrie.
will be in doing the most to advance thu
material interest of Charles county. Ii
doing this Chapel Point cannot be over
looked. 1t is creditabie to those who hav'
engaged in this enterprise that they hav'
lone so much. Chapel Point is a beauti
fully situated summer resort. There i
little doubt that as such it is far better fol
it to be without the accessories of a court
house and a Jail, and it is much more like
ly to completely fill the bill in its single
capacity than by being also the count,
seat.

Pennsylvania Railroad COmpany's Sum
mer Excursion Route Book.

The Passenger Department of the Penn
svlvania Railroad Company will, on June
/, publish its annual summer Excursion
Route Book. This work, which is com
piled with the utmost care and eXactness,
is designed to provide the public with short
descriptive notes of the principal Summer
resorts of Eastern America, with the routes
for reaching them and the rates of fare,
There are over four hundred resorts in the
book, to which rates are quoted, and over
fifteen hundred different ways of reaching
them, or combinations or routes are set
out in detail. The book is the most com
plete and comprehensive handbook of Sum
mer travel ever offered to the public.
Its 210 pages are inclosed in a handsome
and striking cover, in colors. Several
maps, presenting the exact routes over
which tickets are sold, are bound in the
book. 1t is also profusely illustrated with
fine half-tOne cuts of scenery along
the lines of the Pennsylvania Railroad
and elsewhere.
Any. doubt as to where the Summer
should be passed will be dispelled after a
careful examination of the contents of
this publication.
On and after June | it may be procured
at any Pennsylvania Railroad ticket office
at the nominal price of ten cents, or, up
on application to the general office. Broad
Street Station, by mail for twenty cents.

THE CABINET CHANGES.

1t is stated with a degree of positiveness
by one member of the Cabinet that Attor-
ney General Olney has formally notified
President Cleveland Of his acceptance of
the position of Secretary of State. 1t is a
singular fact, however, that President
Cleveland maintains strict secrecy on the
subject and no one has thus far been able
to say authoritivelv that the President has
taken any action concerning the vacant
Premiership. 1t is called by way of con-
trast, that early in February, 1898, Presi-
dent Cleveland made no secret of his selec-
tions of Cabinet Ministers. He then said
that there was no necessity for keeping
the people in ignorance of matters of such
great interest to them.
The statement that Acting Secretary of
State Uhl will be made Attorney General
receives. credence mainly because of the
well known fact that Uhl prefers a legal
office. When he was selected for the po-
Sition which he now holds he was a can
didate for the office of Solicitor General,
Il position ranking practically as that of
First Assistant Attorney General, although
the office is not so named.
While there appears to be Il consensus
rotary of State, there is a concurrent be-
lief that the appointment will not be an
nounced until the President has finally de-
termined the appointment of an Attorney
General.

The current issue of the Manufacturers
Record, of Baltimore, provides a realiz-
ing sense of the revolution now in posses
sion Of the cotton industry of the country,
and as this revolution is located in the
South the cause of the change is markedly
due to the material development of that
section.
The South no longer simply grows cot
to send away. The cotton is spun and
woven into goods right at home. Figures
presented by the Manufacturers Record
in the world half are in Great Britain and
about $1,000, 900 are in this country. In
1880 there were $50 mills with 6G1 900 spin
dies in the South; in 1890 there were 255
mills and 1 700, 900 spindles, and on Decem-
Der 81, 1894, there were 425 mills and B.
100000 %spindles, with mills now building
that will add 500, 900 more spindlcs.
In the remainder of the country the in
crease was from 1856, 900 spindles in 1890
to II, IT. 900 in 1893. This is an exhibit
of gain in the South of 210 per cent. in
thirteen years and in the rest of the coun-
try of only % per cent. The New South
is forging ahead, and the best thing about
it is that Southern capital is finding its way
into the various industries, notably that of
cotton.
