STREET ADORNMENT.


The subject of identifying the
broad avenues of Greenvile with
rows of shade trees is one which The
TIMES has more than once expatiated
upon. There 10 no city In all TINS
broad land which is more In need OF
such protection aud ornament than
this Our summers make such .
p.oyision absolutely indispensable,
aud here, especially, Is the saying true
thai he who plsuts tree IS 6ene-
factor to the race.
Nowhere else are there to be found
more magAificontly broad aud level
streets than those of Greenville. NO
where else do trees grow with such
rapidity or expand SO soon into broad
canoples of shade and beauty. Most
of our streets are comparatively new

youth, gagged by the standard OF
municipal life and doubtless, As time
goes by, the condition of glaring
shadeles. baroness will be remedied.
Already many efforts have been made
to remedy this defect, and great num-
beers Of promising young oak', china
aud maple trees have been set out
with high hopes aud dreams of the
time when the mocking birds would
make their home among the branches,
and weary travellers would slacken
their steps and take off their hats be-
meath the grateful shade. But the va
grant mule and the predatory COW
have nipped both trees aud dreams IN
the bud. 1t is costly to build hVe
dollar wooden fortress around each
so cent tree, aud only the Wander
poulds of the community have been
enabled TO hold their own against Inc
enemy. When the stock law was nrst
pAssed there was general tree plant
ing revival, and had it been strictly
enforced such avenues as Broadway,
Main, aud Theobsld would now be Dor
dered with young aud fourishing
rows of trees But nothing remains
to mark The praiseworthy effort except
the dilapidsted boxes aud dry twlgs
which have been gnawed to dentn

mules. Let property owners take

"RUFUs SANDERS" MURDERED.

On the 26th Of August, near Green
vile, Butler County, Ala, Francis Bar
tow LlOyd, known to all the world Of
Southern readers As Rufus Sanders,
tho author of the quaint and life like
sketches of rustic life which have ap.
peArsd on the patent sides Of country
newspapers, was shot from ambush
and instantly killed. The assassin
was named John Gsford, and no
reason ia known for the murder, un-
less il was in qualification of a private
gruj&. Lloyd was his county's re-
preventative In the state legislature
and was universally esteemed In the
community In which he lived. The
arrest Of bis murderer will probably
be followed by summary justice.
Scarcely any Of the readers who
had learned to know "Rufus Sanders"
through his homely wit and wisdom
knew even the name Of the writer
who charmed them by his work, but
many loved the unknown personality
because Of the generous, shrewd and
noble nature expressed under his
rude disguise. 1t is sad that nature
so GENIAL, = humour so keen yet klnd-
ly should be lost to the world almost
at the at the beginning of Its recogni.
ton; aud doubly deplorable that it
should be extinguisbed by the baud
of worthless ruff1sn.

The Best Politics.

The best politics is that which in
creases business, opens factories, de-
velops latent resources and gives the
laborer plenty OF work. The spirit
that would induce . man TO open q
political campaign = year or two
ahead of the next election, because
he has his eye on q political job and
wants IL bad, 10 not good politics 1t
is simply sticking by the old adagc
that "the early bird catches the worm"
but the bird has many q weary days
work to do before the worm wakes
from Its sleep between elections. 1t
is, an assertion to the voters that
they have nothing to do but put the
right men In Office, and all will be
well. Every voter knows that politics
10 of secondary Importance to him,
and that If he would deserve prosper
ity, he must work 10 secure 1t. These
lengthy campaigns have q tendency
to draw his attention from his own
affairs. He realizes 1t, and he usually
frowns down any effort TO distract
his attention by appeals to consider
the eminent worth of this or that
man, q long time before his verdict
10 to be rendered. Let the campaign
be short and warm.-PanoliAn.

What is worrying the bcneticisries
of the DingIey tariff more than any
thing else at the present time is The
vociferous demand of the working
classes for share OF the prosperity.
This is highly improper on tho part oil
the working classes, as viewed from
the standpoint of the favored manu-
facturer, but in the, light of the fact
that the Republican party aseerts that
high tariff protects and raises the
wages of American labor, they eau
not be blamed for demanding por-
ton of the pudding of prosperity, but
whether they will get it or not Is au-
other question, which is not likely to
be answered in the affirmative.-N. o.

AGAINST A TRIPLE ENEMY.

Messrs. B. u. Wood, chsirman, ana
Juo. W. Bryant, secy. Of tho Water
WAYS convention have lssued call TO
the people of the Missouri, Mississippi
aud Ohio Valleys, announcing the
opening of the Western waterways
Convention at Davenport, Iowa, on
Oct. 9th, 1897, for the purpose of pre-
pairing resolutions aud memorials to
Congress Oh the subject of Western
river improvement.
1t appears, from the systematic
and business.lke manner III which
the committees having charge OF the
Davenport convention are going to
work that the needs Of the alluviai
lsvee district will at last be properly
represented to the public aud forced
upon the attention OF government in
such a manner that they cannot be
lisregArded. This convention will
be the jsint effort Of the seven states
interested in levee building 10 acquaint
the people OF the Union with the
character Of country yearly imperllled
by the river, the extent aud value OF
its Industrial aud agricultural inter-
eats, its railroads, aud the incredible
burden of taxation borne by its peo-
pie for the purpose of protecting
themselves during many years past
The seven states primarily interested
iu the convention are Missouri, Hill
nois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas,
Mississippi and LouiIiAna, the Allu-
vial district subject to overflow EN-
brscing valuable sections in each OF
them but not alone are these seven
states concerned in the success OF the
convention and its result. Every
state which profits by the enormous
and ever.increasing commerce OF the
Mississippi river; every state through
which its great tributaries run, and
every one which depends upon it and
Its great system of railways as q high
way of transportation of products
from the field, NINE, or factory to the
sea, is directly concerned III the sue
cess of the convention and the accom-
plishment ofits purposes.
1t may seem a little strange that
the northwestern and middle states
are taking y more active part IN the
matter than the extreme southern
states, although the latter have GER
tSinly the greater interests at stake,
The Arkansas, Mississippi and Louis
lana levee districts have for 30 long
been accustomed patiently to bear
their own burdens and do the best
they could for their own protection
that they have as yet hardly realized
the breadth and strength ofthe move
M ent now on foot for their relief
They have not yet comprehendsd tina,
the levee problem, which they have
for so long regarded as their own Pc
culiar trial and sorrow, has grown
into q subject Of national Considera-
ton; and that the not improbable re.
Sult Of the Davenport convention will
be to lift it from the CALLED and ex-
hsusted shoulders that have 80 long
borne it uucomplAiniDgly aud place it
npon the mighty ones of the United
States Government.
"The enemy against which we have
TO content is triple-the sea, the lakes
aud the rivers. We will drain the
lakes, drive back the sea, and imprIson
the rivers.
