According to the Hanna organs
Aguinaldo has been a bad man, guilty
of evil deeds. About a year ago, how
ever, the Hanna administration was
glad to have this Filipino leader and
his army as allies to help to take
Manila from Spain. These same Hanna
sheets then gave the Filipinos and their
leader high praise. They were patriots
then and did more for us than the
Cubans. And now, how have they been
treated? Compare their treatment with
that Of the sultan of the Sulus. The
Sulu treaty was made by the committee
Of which DR.. Schurman. of Cornell
university was the head, and the learn
ed doctor is out in defense of his treaty,
if it does sanction slavery and poly
gamy. What a bundle of tortuosities
this Hanna party is. Is it not q, thing of
bounty and prostitution?

During the sensational squabble that
ended in the election of Hanna, Govern

tain an office of trust conferred by you.
Respectfully, GEORGE K. NASH"
After such an uncalled for and in
sulting letter it is no wonder that
Governor Bushnell is not rushing to take
George K. Nash into his loving embrace.
There is no excuse for the mean filings of
the Hanna-Nash organs upon the
governor. Governor Bushnell, as a
gentleman, has a record without blem-

the first to suffer, and when they fall,
he Is the last TO be benefited. Hence the
advisability of government controlling
the currency of the country rather than

1t seems to many citizens that it is

Professor Frank l.. McVey, of the
University of Minnesota, has a long
article on the tin plate trust in the
August number of the yale Review,
Although a protectionist, Prof. Mcvey
makes the following statement con-
cerning the tin plate trust:
"In consequence of that organization,
the tin plate has been increased, and
a monopoly over the production Of it Sc
cured through the policy of the company
in relation to dealers and machine
makers. The consumer is thus forced
to pay for not only the maintenance of
the industry, but also the profits of the
company. The English makers are shut
out of the market and the combination
thus completely controls the production
of the commodity inside of the country.
So long as the tariff remains at pro-
tective figure, it is likely that the syndi-
cate will be able to stop any effort to
renew the competition"
A full statement of the facts in con-
nection with this tariff trust is con-
tained in an article which we publish
in this issue. The article is somewhat
long but it is "hot stuff from beginning
to end and it makes what Horace
Greedy would call mighty interesting
reading" for those who worship at the
altar of high protection. We may be
mistaken but we think that there is
trouble ahead for this offspring of high
protection.

Miss Minter'S Recital.

Unwittingly the time fixed for this
recital fell on a Friday and the 18th.
BUT contrary to precedent both the
day and the occasion were perfect.
Mrs. Lucas music room and reception
hall were comfortably filed with mus
ic lovers who enjoyed fully the witch
ing hour. Piano and player were in
one accord. Miss Minter played with
grace, accuracy and precision, with
out being too precise. The most diff
cult things seemed easy. Her work
varied from an infinite tear provoking
pathos to such rollicking measure that
1t set the minister's foot a-waggiug.
MISS Winters work was Il source OF
Inspiration to the Younger pupils and
q mslodious tribute to the genius and
enthusiasm OF her teacher. To Mrs.
Lucas and Miss Minter are due thanks
and congratulations.

Excitement Near Waterloo.

In the Fork OF the Saluda and Rcedy
known as the Fork" there was
some excitement on Friday last. At q
late hour Il phone message came to
the Court House that the negroes of
the neighborho0d threatened mis-
chief to property and asking for guns
and ammunition. a dozen young men
promptly responded and repaired to
the scene. Arrived, they found some
excitement and a number of gentle
men OF the ~ncighborhood collected. 1t
was soon astertained that their ac-
tivity had had the desired effect and
no trouble likely to ensue. The trou-
BILE seems to have grown out OF ne
grocs fighting. White people took the
part OF the parties with the result OF
exciting other negroes and the report
got current that these threatened to
Invade the peace ard property Of the
neighborhood. -Four Of the negroes
have been arrested and lodged in Jail.

ONION SEVS.

Culturc.-Plant the sets four
inches apart in rows about half
an-inch deep and one foot between
the rows, but do not cover the sets
entirely. All varieties can be
set out III the fall as we'll as the
Spring. Fall planting of onions
arc succeeding very we'll in the
South, and should be more gene
rally practiced.
We strongly advise our custo-
mers to give more attention to the
planting of onions, as they are
proving a very profitable and sat-
~lsfactory crop both for sale in our
home markets and for shipping.
Onions must be planted on clean,
rich soil for best results.
Silver Skin.-Excellent variety
for family use. Skin and flesh
pure white; mild flavor and globe
