DO WE WANT JAMAICA?
Neville Lubbock Says Her Cession to
 Us Would Benefit the Island.

London, Sept 1.-Mr Neville Lub- book, who was the expert adviser of the British delegates upon the occas- ion of the Brussels conference on the question of sugar bounties. was inter- viewed today In reference to the pro posed action by the Jamalcans to pc tition the queen for the cesslon of the island of Jamaica to the United States.
 MT. Lubbock said that in his opin- ion the cession of the island to America would be of immense advantage to the people of the island. Almost all of the products of the island, with the exception cf rum, went to the United States, and there was a feeling that the British West Indies colonies had been shamefuIly treated by the mother country. Personally, he said, he could name three or four firms which had lost over ( 100000 in consequence of this treatment.

n1,a nausnoners nnnht not take TO

The newspapers ought not take to
heart the failure OF their bill IN the
Legislature to have uniform rates for
legal advertising; instead, they should
be thankful that the General Assem-
bly, did not pass san Act entitled an
Act to require newspapers published
in this State to be furnished free Of
charge to all members of the General
Assembly" An Act to require rail-
roads to give free passage was pro-
posed, and no doubt would have
passed, but few of the members at
tended church the Sunday before ana
listened to sermon sThou shalt not
covet." These few killed the bill,
while some of the other members
were nosing about the sample room
of the State Dispensary sampling the
samples, and others were "monkey-
ing" with actresses at one OF the ho-
tells. Fellows of the fourth estate, let
US not, because we failed to procure
legislation which was sensible, Just,
reasonable, honest All for the public
good, begrudge these four-dollar-a-
day statesmen OF the privileges they
enjoy in sampling the samples and
their entree into the society of visiting
actresses, but rather let US rejoice
that we are allowed to exist, with the
hope that the majority in South
Carolina General Assembly will some
day be made up Of men OF business
judgment.

The State printing has been award

The State printing has been award
ed to the Bryan Printing Company
and it is well, for the reason that it is
now out of politics. But we would
like to know how the committee
awarded the printing to a concern
which was not the lowest bidder.
According to the law, the lowest
bidder was to have the work and we
are informed reliably, that the Bryan
Company was not the lowest bidder.
We can not approve, nor will the
people approve, of the defeat of res
ponsible bidder to crafty prejudice.
The Columbia State bid several
hundred dollars lower than the
Bryans, and with the bid offered a
gilt edge bond; Notwithstanding tins
by I to 6 vote the contract was
awarded to less politically offensive
concern. We regarded the letting
out of the printing contract busi-
ness proposition and politics should
not have had any place in its consid-
GRAFTON, but it is plain, that it was a
huge factor, and the people are sim
plv mulct to the extent OF several
hundred dollars in order that the
personal spleen of a majority OF the
committee may be gratified. All
such things come out straight IN the
washing, and when the people are
shown that their professed friends
are in reality their enemies, some
thing will drop. Politicians may
play their little game of politics and
tickle the people, but when they are
undergoing the tickling process with
one hand and with the other they are
pilfering the peoples pockets, the
game will have an abrupt ending and
the punishment is bound to be sure
and swift The committee to award
the printing had no more right to
award the printing to the Bryans than
they had to the Register or a concern
not listed among the bidders, because
the law made it mandatory, not dis
cretionary, for the contract to go to
the lowest bidder.

Pine GROVE Dots.
Editor The TINES:

Editor The TINES:
Your pleasant reminder in the last
issue of your paper prompts me to
send you few dots from Pine Grove.
Ny promise to you would have been
fulfilled long ere this brt for good
reasons.
AS we look into our business, So
cial and educational relations we need
to rejoice and take courage. 1t is
true that the laundering iron horse
doesn't stride through our neishbor-
hood AID along no telegraphic wire
do words chase each other as if they
were things Of life, bearing welcome
or unwelcome messages to our pleas
ant homes; still on the affairs of our
hearts there burns the spirit of patri-
otisn, and every call of our State and
county meets with as ready response
from our sons and daughters acd
fathers and mothers as from those Of
any other section of our Southland.
Our people are energetic and pro-
gressive. This is especially evident
along material and educational lines.
In educational enterprise we are at
the front. Our country schools are
first class and conveniently located.
At this point, Pine Grove, we have a
splendid graded school under the ef-
6cient management of Prof Pough,
who is ably assisted by Miss Annie
Driggers. This school is capable of
doing first class academic work and
is preparing students for Woford and
Columbia Female Colleges.
The farmers are all busy. Tobacco
barns are being built and the tobacco
buds are beginning 70 look green.
Verify this is tobacco country.
The work on our new Methodist
church is progressing, and it will in
deed be handsome building when
completed We hope to have the
Methodist parsonage completed in a
few weeks.
The marriage bells are ringing
hereabouts. MORE ANON.

The latest news from Havana fails
to throw any more light on the cause
of the blowing up of the Maine. Some
think it was an accident and that the
explosion was caused from spontane-
Gus combustion OF coal; some think
it was done by the Spaniards who got
aboard the ship; some think it was
done through submarine mire, and
some think they did it with a tor
pedo, and still others think that the
Cubans did it because the American
ship was lying there watching them
in their struggle for liberty and would
do nothing to help them. In the
meantime divers are at work trying
to disclose tue mystery, and others
are wanted to try and reclaim the
hundred or more dead bodies sup
posed to be still buried in the hull OF
the e,ship.

The destruction of the United
States battleship Maine continues to
be the subject Of conversation in all
the public places, and it is particu-
larly unfortunate that while there is
a strained relationship existing be-
tween this and the Spaniah govern
ment, an attempt should be made to
turn the Maine incident into a griev-
ance to precipitate war between
these two countries. The blowing
up of the Maine was one of the most
horrible catsstrophes that has ever
happened. Lives OF hundreds of
brave men were extinguished in the
twinkling of an eye. The entire ma
ton mourns the loss; the entire civil
lied world is in sympathy. The
Spanish government, although placed
in an embarrassing condition, as she
must realize that under the circum-
stances she is an object of suspicion;
notwithstanding this, she does every
thing in her power to assist the work
of relief. There is an element, how
ever, clamoring for war, and the will
not tolerate the advancing of any the
ory which does not place the destruc-
ton of our battleship as the work Of
treachery. The Cuban Junta is send
ing out all sorts of inhammatory in
terviews and dispatches, with a pur-
pose to arouse the American people
to state of immediate action; they
want a mad. wild rush to be made on
Cuba and have the island wrested
from the clutches Of Spain. Fortu-
nately the United States government
is not made up of men who desire to
rush into war, and they are cautiously
moving on the international chess
board. Experts will examine into
the terrible disaster, and if they find
that it was not an accident, steps
will be taken to demand of Spain
an indemnity for the loss, and this
demand will be enforced in manner
to Justify the conditions.

There appears to be blood on the
moon and it would not surprise US
for "call to arms" to be made at
any time in this country, but at pres
ent, besides the Maine incident, at
tention is drawn to the danger of q
clash of arms between Great Britain
and France in Africa. Two French
expeditions have established them
selves in British territory in the in
terland Of Lazos, and Colonial Secre-
tary Chamberlain is advocating pol
icy of "no surrender It is proba-
bic that serious crisis might be
reached at any time if detachments of
the opposing forces should chance to
have an encounter, as they are liable
to any day. Then, in the present ex-
cited condition OF France, war would
be very apt to follow. Other coun-
tries having interests in Africa would
be on hand to guard those interests
and if a fight stats they may be
forced to take hand. In the mean
time the jingo element in'the United
States are anxious for this govern
ment to have tussle with Spain in
the hope that Cuba may be annexed
to the United States. Those clamor-
ing the loudest for war would be the
last to volunteer, and if they did they
would run over each other in the
mad race for oomb-proof positions.
We do not need a war nor do we
need Cuba, and for that matter We
can very well do without the Hawaiian
Islands. The population Of both the
island of Cuba and Hawaii is made
up ten to one of negroes and ever
since the war tl:cc s,eople of the South
have been trying to solve the prob
lem how TO rid themselves of this ele-
ment. II We could get these islands
and export the blacks we now already
have, there may be some reason to
want them but if we are to add to
an already oyerstocked element, we
would rather protest.

There is a little fellow filing space
in the editorial columns OF a little
sheet published in Charleston called
the Critic who, every now and then
gets very fresh, and attempts to work
of a little sarcasm at the editor OF
The TINES. We have refrained from
noticing the little fellow, but he is so
persistent we must let him know that
he has been heard and that his at
tempts at biting sarcasm are great,
and if he will continue making a
damphool of himself his reputation is
is assured.

The trial of Zola, the French au

The trial of Zola, the French au-
thor, continues in its fsrcial proceed
ings, and nowhere else in the civil
lied world would such outrageous
proceedings be tolerated. The pre-
siding officer of the court openly bull
lies the defendants counsel and
makes no secret of the fact that he
favors the prosecution, and the anti
semitic feeling is so strong that law,
order and decency is not even consid-
cred. When judges on the bench
play to the popular passions it cannot
be expected that d jury will be unaf-
fected; therefore Zola will be found
guilty, not on the evidence, but to
satisfy an anti-semitic sentiment now
so popular with the ruling elements
of France. 1t was this sentiment
which banished Dreyfus and it will
also Danish Zola.

Columbia, S. c., Feb. 19.-The ses-
sion of the legislature which has just
adjourned has been remarkable for
one thing-it has done literally moth
ing. In this its record is cleaner
than the record of the session preced-
ing it. This is not because the mem
bers of the body did not do their
duty, for they were as earnest and
conscientious a body as was ever
gathered. They tried to do a great
deal, and the most interesting history
of the session is the measures it buri
ed. This is due to several causes,
partly because OF the constitutional
restrictions on special legislation, but
mainly to the fact that there was an
uncertainty as to the temper of the
people and feeling, whether COR
scious or unconcious, that there exists
in the minds of the people deter
mination to shake out the dice-box
and call for new deal all round, and
a desire to be heard from on many
subjects that need strong and some
times radical legislation. 1t seemed
best to the members of this body to
let things remain in statu quo until
the sovereignty of the nation could
speak.
There has also been a sentiment
rapidly gaining strength to change
the order of things so that the legis-
lature would meet every two years
instead of every year, and the people
will probably be heard from on this
matter soon. The legislature is one
Of the heaviest expenses of the State
government, and in the interest OF
economy many people urge this plan,
and really there seems but little use
for annual sessions; for there is now so
little to be done on account OF the
restrictions of the new constitution.
One thing that has been remarkable
about the session just closed is the
number of charters issued to large
enterprises, railroads and the like,
which shows a particularly healthy,
condition of financial affairs in the
State and speaks well for South Caro-
lina's march of progress.
In spite of great opposition there
has been considerable tinkering at
the county government law. But
there has been shown considerable
effort from all quarters to get the ad-
,ninistration of our internal affairs on
an economic basis.
Among the bills of general import
ance passed was one bringing foreign
building and loan associations under
the provisions of our State laws as to
usury, which will prove blessing to
many.
