- 1t is not unusual for the Greenville
News to make good hit; but this, in
Wednesdays paper, is especially good ::
We have paid and paid to protect and
build up the industries of the North, East
and West. We have paid heavily to res
cue and protect the Cubans. Now 1t IS
proposed to defend against foreign power
a trade from which the South is drawing
wealth and strength and Southern news
papers are first and fiercest to fight against
it.
To fully understand the force of
this, it is only necessary to throw the
memory backward for the short period
of ten years. No man of 81 years has
forgotten the fearful depression that
existed in this country in 1890. All
remember the critical cotton mill crisis
of that year and the few years follow
ing. The lack of market elsewhere
forced many Southern spinners to seek
an opening in China. As late as 1898,
the entire United States trade in China
amounted to only SS,117,059. The
bulk of this was in cotton, wool and
kerosene, cotton being by far the heav-
lest item. In 1897, it will be remem-
bered that the pressure had been con.
siderably relieved. That year our
China trade amounted to S17,97S, ,O65.
1t will be remembered also that about
then cotton mill building in the south
began to feel the greatest impetus ever
known. At the present time our Chi
ma trade is abvoe the S20,000,O 900
mark, and the number of south
ern spindles is increasing at greater
rate than even in 1897. South Carroll
ma is now being ranked as manufac.
turing state, and cotton mills are max
ing greater profits than they have ever
known before. Yet when envious Eu-
ropeans threaten to kick us out of q
neutral territory, in which we have as
much right as they, at the same time
threatening the destruction of all that
we have worked so hard and suffered so
much TO build up, some of our news
papers would have us step down and
out without protest. The situation
is indeed sickening.

- The Columbia State claims that its
staff is putting in two-thirds of its
time studying the Philippine and open
door questions. We admire the perse
verance of our contemporary +; but
would warn il that it is evidently
working too hard, for it shows signs
of much confusion. All work and no
play makes Jack a dull boy.

Progress OF the War In South Africa as
Far as Reported.
The dispatches that are being receiv'
ed from the surrounding country about
Ladysmith, do not give satisfactory
idea of the situation either in or
around the town. For some time,
more or less news has been coming
from Estcourt, 20 miles to the south ;
but that place has also relapsed into
silence, and it is believed that the
Beers have either captured the town
or cut the wires between it aud Pie.
termaritzburg.
A Durham dispatch of. November %,
said that the Beers were on the way
south from the vicinity of Ladysmith,
in the direction of Pietermaritzburg.
Their force was estimated at 1000
men, with large number of cannon,
and it was believed that they were un-
der the personal command of General
Piet Joubert. Trains bound from
Pietermaritzburg to Estcourt have
been stopped by the Beers ten miles
south OF that place anu lorceu 10 re-
turn.
A Pretoria dispatch of November
81, says that according to the official
returns of the Transvaal government,
the entire losses of the Beers since
the outbreak of the war, have been
only 80 killed aud 200 wounded. The
British have some Boer prisoners, but
the number is not given. The Beers
have considerably more than 1000
British prisoners, and so far the Brit
ish killed and wounded is about three
times greater than that of the Beers.
Kimberly and Mafeking are still
holding out, and the British are max
ing all possible arrangements for the
relief of both towns.

1.-THE Roman Catholics have not had
to go very far to prove the truth of the
reports of looting churches in the Philip

with clerical vestments, chaliceS, host.

brought to the city by the returning vol

are now being offered for sale at high

Yes, here is some of the meat in the
cocoauut. The Irish World, the prin-
cipal exponent of the more rabid Rom
ish element in this country, has been
full of this kind of stuff for weeks.
The alleged facts in the foregoing came
originally from the San Francisco
Monitor and have been added to in
the Irish World. Just what the exact
truth is we do not know. The Tagal
bandits have been at large for some
time, and in many instances they have
used their churches as forts from which
our men had to drive them. The Tagals
may have stolen the church property,
and our men may have captured it
from them. 1t is not improbable either,
that our men may have appropriated

HELEN GOULD.

The most popular young lady in
NV York today and for that matter
possibly i'll al the United States, is
H-len Gould, daughter of the late
jay Gould who was, during his life
or of the most abused men in Amer.
lea. Miss Gould is possessed of
linlitless wealth and finds pleasure
in spending vast sums in the allevia-

For her services during the war,
Congress has granted her, by a

honor never before granted to any

HELP THYSELF
What Carson People Should Do

The coming summer with the people OF
Carson standing together should be pros
porous. The falt that the agricultural
lands in thiss section are assured of good
crops is in itself an assurance of cOnsid-
cradle prosperity, but there are other in
dustries that are tagging. There are
many prospects in the mining line not
many miles from this city that only need
development to make them paying prop
critics.
The Pinenut district is being worked
III a small way by men of very limited
capital and under such circumstance
little can be done Could help be given
them a mining boom would surely settle
in that section that would enrich Carson
in many ways.
Across the Carson river near Empire
are a number Of mining properties that
only need the assistance of the people to
develop great properties. To the north of
Carson lies the Jumbo district, and con-
siderable Carson money is invested in
that direction.
There are lodges Of rich ore in his dis
tiItt III poor men cannot SINK shafts,
carry water and buy powder on jaw
bone.
There should be some way that these
people could receive help from our peo-
pie who will eventually reap benefits
from this source.
Mining should he encouraged in every
way and there is a mineral belt in this
district that cannot be beaten anyN here
i'll the State. All it needs is development
but when a prOspectOr has to abandon
his property and hunt a job things are
bound to lag. Mining is the most legiti-
mate proposition ON DOT in any business
n the sooner Carson awakes and helps
this sort of work out the sooner it will
get on its feet again. With a couple of
paying mines in connection with the
agricultural resources we have this will
be the most prosperous city in western
Nevada.

FIRE AT M'MECHEN.

Yesterday morning about o'clock a
fire broke out in the bakery Of William
Schaefer, at McMechen, and for a time
threatened considerable destruction.
The flames were discovered in the bake
shop by a man who happened to be in
the vicinity. He at once gave an alarm
and awakened the occupants of the
building. A large bucket brigade soon
appeared on the scene and the flames
were quickly extinguished. 1t is be-
lieved by Mr.. Schaefer that the fire was
the work of incendiaries. He has good
reasons for thinking so, as the baking
of the day was finished at II o'clock
Wednesday night, and thirty minutes
after that hour everything was put
away and the fire in the ovens extin-
guished. resident of the neighbor-
hood reported that he saw two suspic-
ious looking characters about the
Schaefer premises at II: 80 o'clock We'd

Rxn.RolD INNOVATION.


and Thstr Families.
BY direction Of Mr.. F. D. Underwood,
second vice president and general man
ager of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road, annual passes are now being Is
sued to all engineers and conductors
who have served the road in such ca
pacities for year or more. The
passes are also made to include the
wives and minor children OF the men
to whom they are issued and are good
for use over all lines of the company
east and west of the Ohio river.
This is an innovation introduced by
Mr.. Underwood, and it is said that it
has never been done by any other rail-
road company. There are about 5000
engineers. and conductors in the en-
ploy of the company who viii be bene-
flied by the order. The families aver
age four persons. making an aggregate
number of about $4,000 who will here
after enjoy free transportation facil
titles.
Heretofore annual passes have only
been issued to officials of the company,
those in charge of departments and
divisions, including chief clerks and
employees whose duties require consid-
cradle travelling over the road. The
duties of engineers and conductors are
important and responsible. By care
and faithfulness they can reduce acct
dents to minimum, run trains on o.
near schedule time and thereby facil-
itate and encourage business. 1t is
claimed, therefore, that they are en-
titled to this additional consideration.
1t will also be an incentive to firemen,
baggagemen and brakemen to give the
best service in order TO earn and gain
promotion.
Previously trip passes between stated
points were issued to engineers ard
conductors and members of their fam
lilies the same as are issued to clerks,
agents and other employees. Appllca-
ton had to be made each time some
days before the date the pass was
wanted for use.
