STILL ECoNoMIZING f..

There is one thing above all
o,bers TO be admired in the Me.
raurin Leyee Board. That is the
conscientious way in which they
curry out their campaign Of re
trenchment and reform,
We all remember the anathemas
hnrIed at the old board because of
rs reckless expenditure of the
neople's money. This wasteful
ia,ishness(9 was especially pro-
nounced, it was claimed, IN the
matter of salaries. 1t was simp-
" outrageous, so it was, to 90
down into the pockets of the over
burdened taxpayers for these
enormous and unreasonable sti-
nend,. There was the President
of the board for instance, who
drew six hundred dollars per an
nnm. while the attorneys were al
lowed eighteen hundred dollars
per year for legal services. just
think of it Well, the Liza James
lid think of it, and were no sooner
in office than they commenced to
economize, and they are still econo-
mizlng in their own peculiar way.
The president, for instance, is.
now paid twelve hundred dollars
year. This, as will be seen, is
double the amount received by his
predecessor. But then, the en-
hanced salary is paid President
JAYNE, and remembering this fact
the taxpayers have never word
to say. Indeed, Jayne is cheap
at any price, and the only fear Is
be may demand a larger sum; or, |
still worse, refuse to serve ut all /
And how about the blasted law
yers Yergor & Percy received /
as above stated, one hundred and
fifty dollars apiece. The great
corporation lawyer, who devotes
bis time and talents to solving the
dark doubtful questions presented
TO the board, is content with the |
modest stipend of two hundred
dollars per month, and only ask
that twelve months be counted in
the year. Here again is Il seem
ing increase of expenditure, but
we all know it is true economy to
get the best. Remembering this,
the taxpayers grin and bear 1t,
and are ready, perhaps, to stand
even another raise. Meanwhile,
the Liza James are happy because

not be available to the extent that

- While The ENQUIRER has been
reproducing a great deal that is being
said on the Negro "problem," it has
not been inclined to say much. There
are a great many things that might be
done; but as to whether anything
ever will be done is extremely doubt
full. For instance, take this deporta-
ton suggestion. If it were practical
BILE, that would be the thing. But we
do not believe that the country could
work itself up to any such point with
in so years, and it will require still
another generation afterward, before
it could become an accomplished fact.
Suppose the Negroes were all deported
within the next year, how long would
it take this country to recover what it
would lose industrially? How many
people looking at the matter from that
standpoint, would be willing for the
change ? And then, again, with the
Negro gone, what about the class that
would likely take his place? Would
it give less trouble? Really, is Negro
menial not preferable to the white
menial? OF course, the Negro will
continue to be a source of concern so
long as he remains here, and that
means quite while but what guar
antee have we that his successor will
be an improvement on him? The best
thing to do about the Negro is to let
him alone so long as he behaves him
self. Treat him fairly and honorably
give him equality before the law, let
him have all the liberty he wants, SO

it is unnecessary to discuss. 1t is not
at all likely. But in case like this,
it is incumbent on those charged with
the responsibility to do the best they
can. Already a number of names
have been mentioned in connection
with the place. Some Of those who
have been mentioned are candidates
and some are not. 1t goes without
saving that the man who is seeking
the position is not that proper man for
it. Our own judgement, based on the
opinions of others who understand the

clines US to suggest, with all conf
dence, the name of Rev. Boyce e..
Grier, of Yorkville. He is fully equip

him we'll worthy of taking up the

The Abbeville Press and Banner has

Sl2O year to pay their subscriptions to

1t is very doubtful whether such appro-
priation has been made; but public
money is spent for less worthy objects,
and yet congressman who is too stingy
or mean to take all the newspapers in his
district, is hardly representative man.
This might also apply to members Of the

As to whether there is such an ap-
preparation now, The ENQUIRER has
no information, and it has not sought
to ascertain. 1t is fact, however,
that there used to be such an appro-

it for their own selfish purposes, leav'
ing such publishers as saw fit to do so,
to send their papers dead head. Con-

ANOTHER COTTON MILL.

York county is to have another cot
ton mill at no distant day. Either
this, or the progressive people of Hick-
ory Grove will suffer defeat in one of
their dearest industrial ambitions.
Hickory Grove has been longing for
cotton mill for quite awhile, and has
been doing lots of educational work in
the direction of building one. Now
the conditions appear to be ripe, and
there is every reason to believe that
their hopes are soon to be realized.
A cotton mill meeting was held last
Tuesday. Hickory Groves business
element was there solidly in favor of
the proposition, and Messrs. John r.
Ashe, of Yorkville, and R. M. Carroll,
of Blairsville, were on hand, helping
to promote the enterprise with offers
of experienced advice, and more sub
stantial aid in the shape of liberal SUBJ
scriptions to the capital stock.
The plans of the promoters contem-
plate the construction of a $4,000
plant. Of the necessary capital, about
S25, 900 has been raised, and Mr.. Ashe
advises that it will be perfectly feasi-
BILE to organize when the subscriptions
amount to $4,000. II is generally
conceded among men who have had
experience in such matters, tnat it is
much easier to raise the last S25, 900
than it is the first $4,000, and the
situation gives out the fullest promise
of success.
