Why, then, be so unwilling to go?

Not even spark;
IF you are honest you'll acknowledge
It's leap in the dark.
If God has talked to others
And never to you,
Why should he damn you
For not believing it true.

For not believing

The General Assembly seems to
have a grudge against Gov. Ellerbe's
sppointees. Both Epton and Calvo
have been defeated. We regret Mr..
Cslvo's defeat. He ought to have
been elected in view of his having
almost completed the work. There
was no complaint that the work was
not done satisfactorily by Mr.. Cal7o,
and considering that only his fathers
misfortune caused the :cancy in the
Office it would have been ;. ;hipg but
good faith to have elected the son.

EPTON'S DEFEAT.

The defeat of Epton is lesson to
every man who expects to make his
living out Of politics. We do not
know either Mr.. Epton or Mr.. Der
ham, and really had no personal inte-
rest in the election for comptroller
general.
Mr.. Epton was appointed by Cover
nor Ellerbe and Mr.. Derham was
taken out of the comptroller generals
Office, in which place the latter allied
the position of clerk. At the time, it
was said that the Governor appointed
Epton comptroller general and re-
moved Derham in order to strengthen
himself politically. We do not know
whether such influences actuated the
Governor or not. This motive, how
ever, was industriously circulated
over the State at the time. Conse'
quently Epton posed as the admins
tration's candidate and he had to bear
all the shortcomings of the admins
tration. Derham posed IS the victim
of a political trade: at any rate this
was the argument used in the cam
paign preceding the election.
MIR. Epton is most highly respected
in Spartan burg, and, it is said, thst he
made q most efficient county auditor.
His competency to fill the Office of
Comptroller General was not ques-
toned. We believe that it was gene
rally admitted that Mr.. Derhann was
fully as competent.
Two things in this election we wish
to point out. Mr.. Derham was at one
time member of the Senate, and it
is said that 'sthe feeling of comrade-
ship" got him many votes in that body.
A short time ago we made the point
that man had to become q member
of the legislature if he aspired to an
office which the. General Assembly fills.
This is natural influence. and one
that can not be we'll prevented, e1-
cept by having the people name tho
ofGcers-all Of the officers.
The other point we wish to make is
the folly of depending on the uncer-
tainty of politics for your means of
support. Mr.. Epton had an Office
Auditor for Spartanburg eounty-and
It is reasonably certain that he' could
have held it longer. He was offered
;nheiter office. and doubtless thought.

Canada. If anything Of that sort had
been attempted last year the yellow
Journals would have been full Of pre-
dictions that Great Britain was pre-
paring to invade the United States
from Canada, but a talk of that sort
would not go now. and the new rela-

and they are not confined to his own
party. Here is Senator McLaurin
of South Carolina. who says if the
presidential election were to take place
now. he would be in favor of re-
electing President Mckinley by ac-
clamation, without putting any candi-
date in the field against him. Says
this senator: "The President has
shown wonderful Judgment in dealing
with the war problem. l voted for
the recognition of Cuban indepen-
dence, but l am free to admit 1 made
a great mistake. The President was
right in refusing to recognize the in
surgents. The President has done a
great and lasting service to the coun-
try in utilizing the war to wipe out all
traces Of sectionalism. He has known
no section or party in the administrat
ton of the high duties imposed upon
him, and his appointment Of Butler,
Lee, Wheeler and Gordon to high and
responsible positions has won the
hearts and the sympathy of the men
and women of the South, and he is
today the pride of the entire nation.

La Fayette. the French hero and one
of the greatest men that nation ever
produced, is to haXf his grave marked
with a $25O.OOO monument as a tribute
from the school children of America.
Commissioner General Peck, who is to
represent this government at the great
international EXPOSITION in Paris in
1900, originated the idea. President Nc
Kinley endorsed it. and it is announced
that the President will probably issue
an address in theSnear future calling
upon the schools, Of the United States
to observe La 1rayette day" on his
birthday, October IA The governors
and superintendent of public instruc-
ton in each state will be asked to as
sist, exercises for which small ad-
mission fee will be charged will be held
at the different schools, and each chill
in school will be asked to give one
penny; Secretary Of the Treasury Gage
will act as treasurer of the fund; AM
the plans for the monument Will be
completed next week. France has
