Does This Hit Your Town?


Did 1t ever occur to you, gentle
reader, that one of the most potent
factors in retardlng the growth and
well being of town could be found
III a careful analysis of the petty
Jealousles that exist among It's citi-
zens and the habit of dividing its
citizens into cliques and clans?
The town that succeeds and makes
a name for itself is invariably the one
where all of the inhabitants work to-
gether in harmony, and where can
injury to one is the concern of all. -
In like manner it will be found that
the town that is wholly, or almost
free from factions of any kind or
character whatsoever-either social,
religious or political-is the one
that is progressing and becoming
favorably known to the outside
world. ga house divided against
itself cannot stand" is truism re-
corded IN Holy Writ, and the quo
tation can be truthfully paraphrased
ga town divided against itself can
not prosper If your brother
prospers you will prosper, and an
injury done him will prove boom
erang nine times out of ten. Be-
cause man Tor woman) does not
belong to your set, your church or
your political party is no reason why
you should not give him encourage
ment IN every way possible, and
throw roses instead of thorns IN his
pathway.
Nothing is more injurious to the
best interests of a community than
the small chickering's and asinine
jealousies that too often are found
there especially if the place is a
small one. Any town has enough
to contend with from outside in
huences, without neighbors, who
should lend helping hand when
ever possible, striving to discredit
the act, aims and ambitions of each
other. Of course, these remarks
do not in any way reflect on any
town in this county, or they would
not have been penned.

AMONG the curiosities of this win
ter's legislation may be quoted a law
that has passed the California Leg
lslature. 1t reads:
Every person who manufactures
or deals in or sells or offers for sale
or gives away or otherwise disposes
OF cigarettes is guilty Of u INSIDE
meanor.
There's terseness for you. A
whole chapter couldn't have been
more effective if the law is enforced.
There's no way getting around it
and the Californian who happens to
have a quantity Of cigarettes on hand
can't even throw them away without
becoming guilty of a misdemeanor.
He isn't allowed to "otherwise dis
pose them" either by fire, by ship
ping them out Of the country, by
throwing them on compost heap,
or by sending them up in a balloon.
For a law isn't it dandy.

Caring for a Cuckoo.

The people of the Second Con-
gressional district of West Virginia
decided that William l.. Wilson was
not a safe man to look after their
inter ests in the House of Represen-
tatiyes, but President Cleveland
thinks him a good man to be at the
head af the vast postal business of
the United States. Mr.. Wilson
does not possess conspicuous ability
for this post. He is a teacher by
training and by practice. AS an
instructor in college and as presi-
dent of the State University of
West Virginia, he was eminently
successful. His vocation lies
strictly within pedagogic lines. He
has no ability as o statesman, and
his business qualifications may be
measured by the havoc his theories
have made with the industries of
the country.
The postoffice department is es-
sentially & business institution.
Politics and theories have no place
therein. The position of postmas-
ter general is one calling for clear
business perceptions and a readiness
to apply them to the rapid forward
ing and distribution of mail matter.
Mr.. Wilson would never have been
elevated to that place by reason of
his fitness for 1t. lie IS put there
merely because Mr.. Cleveland feels
that he ought to provide berth for
man who carried out presidential
wishes regardless of his own previ-
ously expressed views and IN oppo-
sition to those of his constituents.

THERE are two things needed in
this country: one for the relief OF
the Government itself and the other
for the relief of the people them
selves. These two things are a
Tariff for revenue and Tariff for
Protection. The Tariff of 1890 met
Doth demands, aud that most ad
mirably, The new Tariff makes no
attempt at Protection, and from a
strictly revenue point of view is a
conspicuous and lamentable failure.
This much is not debatable ground.
No Democrat, however optimistic,
will pretend that the present Tariff
meets the revenue needs of the Gov
eminent.

The REPUBLICAN thinks the fol.
lowing cannot be published toe
often:
Kick.
Kick hard.
Kick at everything.
Don't pay a cent under any cir
misunderstanding or other
wlse-and kick continually.
Refuse to enter any combination
that will be benefit to any one but
yourself.
Always speak i'll of your COMPETE
tor IN business; kick at the mer-
chants, school teachers, doctors,
newspapers. town board and every
thing else.
Always buy of peddlers, if posi-
bic, and give your home merchants
a go-by.
Speak of your town as the most
immoral place on earth, and say a
bad word for it every chance you
get.
If stranger comes to town, tell
him that everything is oyerdone,
and that the town is no good on
general principles. This will be a
good drawing card to new business
industries.
Stop your home paper, ask your
friends to do the same, and insist
that they take the Bungtown Blister.
This will give your home paper a
great boom and assist the editor
materially, which you must avoid
above everything else.
If you are in business don't adj
Yertise. Buy rubber stamp and
use that. 1t may save you a few
dimes and will look so much nicer
than if printed by an artist.
Kick because you and your friends
are not permitted to run the town,
and if you do run it, kick anyhow.
Exchange.

THE NEXT GOVERNOR.
Indications Point to a Tidal Wave In
Favor of Mr.. LoWndeS.

indications Point to Tidal Wave In
Favor of Mr.. LoWndes.
From the Baltimore Sunday American.
Last week prominent Republi-
can and a well known Democrat
called on Major Alexander Shaw
and urged him to consent to the
use of his name in connection with
the next gubernatorial nomination.
Major Shaw stated that he felt
deeply grateful for the compliment
paid him in the general and unsol-
icited approval that has followed
the mention of his name in this
connection, but that he could not
accept the nomination if tel dered
him, and he begged that no more
be said by his friends upon the
subject. This determination of
Major Shaw is thought to be final.
just now indications point to a
tidal wave settling toward Mr..
Lloyd Lowndes, of Cumberland.
Mr.. Lowndes is well and favorably
known in business circles through
out Maryland and adjoining states,
IsG his uAlicanismy while
always loyal and pronounced, has
never been offensive to his political
opponents. His friends, indeed, in
the ranks of the Democratic party,
are legion, and he is regarded
everywhere as one of those clear
headed, conservative business men
who hold that public office is a
public trust, and that government
tai business should be conducted
upon business, rather than partisan
lines.
There has been some fear ex.
pressed that Mr.. Lowndes might
be cut by the colored people because
OF his vote in Congress, over twenty
years ago, against the Civil Rights
bill. The colored leaders of the
city have been carefully canvasseC
upon this subject during the past
three weeks, and none of then
manifested any opposition to Mr.
Lowndes on this account. They
say an attempt to combat hin
along this line will not prove sue.
cessful. Many prominent Repub.
lican leaders in Congress, they say,
at that time deemed the Civil
Rights bill inexpedient, and also
voted against it upon grounds that
then seemed good and sufficient,
and through no antagonism to the
colored race. They also say that
Mr.. Lowndes has of late years
repeatedly shown his friendship for
the race and they will gladly and
cordially support him should he be
chosen to head the Republican State
ticket.

POSTMASTER GENERAL BIssELL is
very emphatic in asserting that his
resignation was prompted only by
personal reasons, and President
Cleveland has endorsed this state
ment. If the world outside the cab
met is skeptlcal of the veracity |of
the announcement it cannot be
blamed. For over a year reports
have been current that Mr.. Bissell
and his chief were not harmonious
in their views, and frequent rumors
of hisresignation have floated about.
These haYe been denied just as pos
itively as the statement is now made
of harmony in the cabinet. That
Mr.. Blssell has felt the humiliation
of being mere igure-head in Off
cial life IS too well known. Cleve-
land has tried to run the show all by
himself. He hugs the belief to his
bosom that he is the incarnation OF
Democracy, and doubtless some Of
the members are not sharing his

view. Despite the denial of official
disagreement the public may be sat-
isfied that Postmaster Bissell goes
into retirement because his views and
the Presidents don't jibe. Cleve-
land knows also that the new post
master-general will be very docile if
the future can be Judged by the
past.

SOUTH CAROLINA'S ROAD LAWS.
SaIaried Supervisors In Each County
-ConvictS VIII Be Employed.

SaIaried Supervisors In Each County
-ConvictS VIII Be Employed.
Heretofore the management OF |
county affairs IN South Carolina has
been vested in aboard of three
county commissioner elected by the |
people. These gentlemen looked |
after roads, bridges, ETC., the county |
poorhouses and all such matters.
They employed oyerseers in each
nelghborhood to have the roads
worked the labor of course oeing
furnished by the citizens under the
law requiring each to give so many
days to keeping the roads in repair
or else pay commutation tax. I'm
der this system road working has
been travesty, At certain seasons
enough dirt would be shoyeled into
the holes and ruts to fill them up
and make travel possible, if uncom-
Portable, but absolutely no perma-
nent improvement resulted. The
roads are no better to-day then they
were when Sherman marched over
them in 1865 or Tarleton's troops
80 years before.
The new law abolishes the boards
of county commissioners and pro-
vides one supervisor elected bienni-
ally in each county at a salary
averaging 5000. In addition to
him, the governor appoints to serve
during his administration three
commissioners for each township.
These commissioners have jurisdic-
ton in the assessment and equali-
zatlon of property. Their chairman,
acting together with the county
supervisor, form a county board of
commissioners, who are to meet
quarterly. 1t is their province to
divide the counties into road dis
tricts and to let to bonded con-
tractors, who shall bind themselves
to work the roads in their territory
and keep the bridges in repair-in
other words, to haye the road work
done by responsible parties instead
of public overseers. Residents who
prefer to work the six days required
by law rather than pay the commu-
tation tax of 81 will be reported by
the supervisor to the contractor of
their respective districts and will
be required to work under his
superintendent. The contractor
for each days work done by
citizen is to allow the county so
cents-that is to say, so cents will
be deducted from the sum due by
the county to the contractor. The
Communication fees paid in lieu of
work done by citizens are to be set
aside as special road fund.
This contract system, however,
is optional, and the supervisor and
board OF commissioners for each
county may continue the old
method of appointing road overseers
if they prefer. In addition to this
the new law provides a chain gang
for work on the public roads under
the supervisors orders. All con-
victs sentenced to terms of impris-
onment at hard labor for less than
two years are to be employed on the
roads instead of being sent to the
penitentiary. - Atlanta Constitu-
