Anderson's Opportunity.

Last Thursday night a conference OF
& q number Of Anderson's progressive
citizens was held in the city, and an.
other movement for the erection of
i another big cotton mill here was inau-
gnrateG. Col. j. L. Orr, President Of
the Piedmont Cotton Mills, attended
the conference and in plain, practical
I talk proposed that if our people would
subscribe $3.50, 900 to the capital stock,
he would guarantee that much or more
from foreign capitalists. Nearly one
third Of this amount was at once sub
y scnbed, and the gentlemen present re-
solved to go to work at once and secure
I the additional subscriptions. With.
5 this end in view a mass meeting will oe
held in the Court House at 12 o'clock
next Friday, when Col. Orr and others
will deliver addresses. It is proposed
to close all places .of business at that
hour, so that every body will have an
opportunity to attend the meeting.
The farmers of the County are also
urged and cordially invited to attend
the meeting, and make it a big success.
Now if ourpeople Will do their duty
this mill is an assured fact, and the
work Of its erection can begin in sixty
! days. 1T is proposed to make Col. Orr
President Of the Company, and his
success and long experience at Pied
mont ensures its success. He has the
conf dence Of foreign capitalists and if
our people will raise one-half Of the
proposed capital stock he will have no
trouble in securing the balance. IL is
proposed to start the mill without a.
dollars indebtedne and the stock
holders may rest assured Of receiving
a good dividend on their stock from
the very beginning. This is a grand
opportunity for Anderson, and we can
not afford to let it pass without grasp
ing it. The shares to the capital stock
viii be placed at one hundred dollars
each, and every citizen who has the
welfare of this section at,heart should
take stock in it. twill prove q good

The Confederate Reunion Number of
the Charleston Ne,rs and Courier last
Wednesday was an exceedingly inter-
esting paper, and will no doubt be
highly treasured by every person who
was so fortunate as to get copy Of it.
It was profusely illustrated and con-
tained number OF very interesting
articles from the pens Of many of the
Confederate heroes. Suchpublications
are worth preserving.

According to the views of the ad-
ministraion at Washington, peace is
not far off in the Philippines. The in
surgents concede that they are con-
quered, but are protracting the war
with the hope of making better terms
Of surrender than those offered by
Otis. There is more or less fighting
daily; always with the same result
complete routing Of the enemy.

The Race Conflict at Wilmington.

[Mr. H. Litchfield West in the January
Forum.
In Wilmington found a very re-
markable condition of affairs. The
city might have been preparing for
a siege instead of an election. A
new rapid fire gun had been placed
in the local arlnory; nearly two
thousand Winchester, rifles had
been purchased by private citizens;
and scarcely a man in the entire
city retired at night without weap-
on of some kind-ritle, shot gun, or
revolver-by his bedside. The city
was Differed as if threatened by a
foe. Each ward had been divided
into blocks; the former in command
of a captain. the latter under lieu
tenants, with general over all.
The lieutenants met their captains
almost nightly; and at one of these
meetings [ had an opportunity to
observe that they were earnest,
dignitied, sober men, heads of famt-
lies, and owners of property, en-
gagged In the best mercantile and
professional pursuits. All shades of
political belief were represented.
Some Of the citizens had voted for
Mr.. Mckinley. and. Others for Mr..
Bryan; some were Gold and some
were Silver Democrats; some favored
Protection, and others advocated
Free Trade; but in the presence of
what they believed to be an over
whelming crisis, they brushed aside
the great principles that divide
parties and individuals, and stood
together as one man Their Ian
guage indicated the Intensity Of the
situation, as they viewed it.
Each lieutenant, when called up
on for report, announced the mum

willing to bear arms; while the
aggregate number OF rifles, shot
guns, and revolvers was also made
known. The numbers of women,
children, and sick men requiring
protection we're also given; and the
data thus presented were carefully
| noted down. When emphasize the
fact, that every block in every ward
was thus organized, and that the

tors, merchants, railroad officials,

The Right Remedy Will
Danish II Forever.

If you would forever be rid of
the aches and pains, and some
times the fortunes produced by
Rheumatism, you must take the
right remedy. Those who con-
tinue to suffer are relying upon
remedies which do not reach their
trouble The doctors treatment
always consists of potash and
mercury, which only intensity the
disease, causing the joints to stiff
en- and the bones to ache, besides
seriously impairing the digestive
organs.
Rheumatism is a disordered state of
the blood, and the only cure for it is n
real blood remedy Swift's Specific Is.
s. 81 goes down to the very bottom of
all diseases of the blood, and promptly
cures cases that other remedies can not
reach.

CARMACK WINS APPLAUSE.

His Speech in Congress in Opposition to
the Philippine Policy.
A dispatch from Washington last
Friday says:
Mr.. Carmack (Dem.) of Tennessee de-
livered carefully prepared argument
in opposition to the policy of the ad-
inlnistratIon relative to the Philippines,
He protested against launching this
government on career of conquest and
criminal aggression. The president, he
declared, was now waging war upon
his own responsibility for his own pur-
pose. While the war against Spain had
been blessed of God, this war for the
conquest of the Philippines was a crime
against liberty and the ours of God was
upon it. 1t revolutionized every tradi-
ton OF the republic. IL was being en-
tered upon thoughtlessly and reckless
ly, without considering the cost
1t was In utter contempt Of the solemn
warnings of the greatest and wisest Of
our statesmen. The flag was to be kept
floating over the Philippines, but not a
single free man was to stand beneath it's
folds. A country that was not fit for a
free mans home was not fit for a free
mans flag. democratic applause
He spoke OF the tremendous cost dis
tant possessions would entail upon us,
drawing his illustrations from the
countries of Europe. England, he said,
expended one-third of her revenue for
the cost of past wars and one-third in
preparing for future wars. ONLY one
third expended to meet the current me-
cessities of government. But more than
the monetary cost, he said, would be the
loss OF our sense of security and peace
OF mind. War would threaten us con-
stantly, and to meet IL we would have

Once a nation tasted OF colonial empire
it became passion. The appetite was
never satisfied. Yet one of the worlds
