1t is by no means an unimportant fea-
turc of the latest creations that the
trimming often includes ribbons.
There is every probability that these

the neglect in which they have been

sons. The ribbon manufacturers are

this sort of ribbon, which forms a bow

WHERE CREDIT is DUE.

IOT Il lVuS iliuc L lplchNc hhS
from time to time become excited
over myths that have appeared in
the form of smelters, reduction
works, railroads. street car lines
and what not, but there is every
evidence now that what for some
time has existed only ms n possi-
bility will rapidly develop into a
material fact. Another large mill
for the treatment of gold ore is
about TO be erected, factor that
will enter momentously into the
prosperity of our city. Ii is with
al most gratifying turn in affairs
and our people are glad
But there is another element
that enters into the proposition
that should not be overlooked.
Someone must receive credit for
bringing about the location of the
mill at this place, for that credit is
due someone can hardly be denied.
Two hundred thousand dollar
plants are rarely located in town
without some influence being bro't
to bear upon the promoters And
this instance is no exception to
the rule.
The first man that brought the
matter of locating the mill in Flor
ence to the attention of Mr. Milli-
ken was T. Fl. Newkirk. He it
was who emphasized the superior
advantages afforded by Florence
for such proposition and succeed
ed in interesting Mr. Milliken
The first result was that Mr.. Milli-
ken came to Florence and had an
interview with the men who repre-
sent the financial interests of the
city. He came second time and
again he conferred with the same
men. The question was thorough
ly discussed and considered on
basis of whether or not in five
years the lower cost of building
material and of fuel here would
equal the bonus offered by Colo
RADIO City. 1t was decided that it
would.
Mr.. Milliken went back and re-
ported to his people in favor of
Florence, and Florence will get
the reduction works.
The men who pledged the site
and whatever else might be neces-
sary, are men some of whom have
received more abuse, more villifi- |
cation, and have had more con-
tumely heaped upon them than
any other citizens of our little city. |
They have been called "mossbacksn
"obstructionists," "old fogiesn and |
every other old thing that their
enemies could think of. and vet
when it comes to show down it |
developes that these same men
make up the substantial end of our
city. These men are the United
Oil company, James A. McCand-
less, A. r. Gumaer and Edwin
Lobach.
1t is not necessary that THE TR1-
BUNE fight the battles of these
gentlemen, or to enter any discus
sion, it simply and fairly wishes to
call attention to the fact that they
should have the credit for the To-

eating of new mill in Florence,
and that in view of this fact ii is
time to call a halt on the vitupera-
tive epithets so often applied to
them. 1t is time for the fight to
end.

AMERICAN PROGRESS.

North American Review and one
which affords most gratifying in
formation, is that presented by
Michael 6. Mulhall under the head
of Five Years of American Pro
gress." After going into details
and making an extended statistical
report the author arrives at the
following summary;
Il. Population advances Mt a
slower pace than ever before re-
corded, which is due not merely
to restricted laws against immi-
grants, but also to diminution of
natural increase, arising apparent
ly from higher death rate.
-. Import trade has fallen off
30 per cent. in five years, partly
owing to changes in the tariff,
partly to fall of prices, partly to
a development of home manufac-
lures. On the other hand, exports
have risen by 400 million dollars.
%. Manufacturing industy APP
pears to have grown prodigiously,
the consumption of raw material
showing an increase all round of
about 80 per cent. in five years.
II. Agricultural interests are
prosperous as regards tillage, the
area under grain having risen to
ten million acres since 1893, but
pastoral farming seems to have
,utfered, the number of live stock
falling % millions. the value being
six million dollars less
50. Mining shows great in
crease in the production of gold,
copper and petroleum, while there
las been, of course, a decline in
he output of silver.
"6. Finances have been de-
ranged by heavy fall of import
lues and an increase of expendi-
ture resulting from the war with
Spain. The deficit of sos reached
I03 million dollars. Public debt
has risen $50 millions since 1898.
~, Money actually in circula-
ton has risen 24l millions, entire
ly in gold, silver and paper money,
showing no sensible change. At
the same time the treasury has
had an increase of Is millions
in gold and % millions in silver.
IS. Banking business, to Judge
by the national banks, has in
creased 30 per cent. in five years,
or three times as fast as popula-
ton: an unquestionable proof of
the general prosperity of the
Union.
SO. Notwithstanding the in
crease in mileage, the gross receipts
of railroads fell SO millions, the
net profits 81 millions,
40 The tonnage of port en-
tries has risen 30 per cent, but
this has been entirely in ships car
rying foreign flags, The merchant
shipping of the United States
shows steady decline.
al. Public instruction pro-
crosses steadily, the average daily
school attendance increasing much
faster than population. School
expenditure isthree times'as much
as in the United Kingdom.
"l2. Land grants to settlers
and farmers average 10 million
acres yearly, and the area under
farms is at present approximately
707 million acres, of which one
third is under crops, two-thirds
under pasture"

UBsEQUENT HISTORY

Sut 1t was not the intention OF
the British government to leave us
in peace. Oh, no. They would
let us be the pioneers of civiliza-
ton, let us do the work and reap
the suffering which goes with the
occupation of new country in
tested with savage tribes We
went first to Natal, conquered it
from the fierce and warlik, Zulus,
and made it habitable. Then came
along the English with their sol
diers and cannon and made us
theirs by force calling US rebels
for defending our own and shoot
ing us down. Then to the Free
State, where the same thing occur
red Only there, when they found
the country did not pay, they gave
it back to our people. However,
when diamonds were discovered at
Kim berly (Which belongs to the
Free State), greed conquered JUS
tice, and Kim berly wds taken from
us. AS conscience money
the British government paid us
ninety thousand pounds for what
was worth as many millions.
"And then followed the troubles
of our own country. In 1879 they
took our country from us, ignoring
our protests, evidently considesing
might was right. In 1880, when
our people met at Paardekraal and
there piling a huge cairn of stones
swore to fight for their country till
it was theirs again or death closed
their struggles, the British govern
ment once more stigmatized us as
rebels. But we were not rebels,
and for once right was might, and
we beat the soldiers of one of the
greatest nations four time running
in fair fight. We got our country
back and will keep it. But British
treatment of us has not helped to
rock that race hatred to sleep
which had its birth on Slagter's
Mex
"And now having traced the
cause of the present bad feeling
from its source, | will attempt to
Justify our position.
"All my readers who are quite
impartial will admit that we have
good and sufficient reason for
fighting shy of the English.
But still, suspicion was begin
ming to sleep and our people were
gradually becoming more ready to
reach out the hand of friendship
to the Outlanders and say Let by
cones be bygones.' But it was
not to be. Cecil Rhodes does not
want us to live in peace. His one
great hope is that he will be able,
through the Outlanders, to force
us into war with England, so
that the map of South Africa can,
as he said, be painted red SO in
1895, when things were going
smoothly and love was once more
lifting up her head in our land,
Jameson and his band of raiders
tried to rob US of our country. and
only succeeded in taking away our
peace
Mr.. Rex appeals to the civilized
world if it is wonderful that the
Beers are not eager to take the
Outlanders into their arms as fell
ow citizens.

Gratis Is that their organization in city and State
is more compact than that OF the Republicans.
There no divisions in their ranks. They
have had no patronage ~ dispense during the
past four years. and there has consequently been
no charge Of discrimination. In adopting the
new charter which separated the municipal from
the State election, the last Legislature inserted
the proviso that the officials now in control
should serve the full term for which they
were elected So that though the Mayor
was chosen last spring, he does not enter upon
his duties until Nov IL after the State election
There can therefore be no appointments made

this will have remains TO be seen

tion that there Is no break on either side. The
slightest detection would materially affect the
result In 1895, Lloyd Lowndes the present
Governor was elected by nearly 10. 600 plurality,
hut then many Democrats Disguised with their
party's management joined the Republicans
In 1897 the Republicans again carried the State,
but by the reduced plurality Of 1000 The fight
then was made the Legislature, which elected
Mr. Germans successor 10 the Senate and was
extremely bitter. In 1893 the Democrats again
made gains when they elected two Congressman,
breaking into tho solid Republican delegation.

for Mayor by nearly 5000 plurality and this too
