THE policy of this government
" it'll reference to the British-BOer
imbroglio is authoritatively an
uouncod TO be: First, this Govern
meut having been the recipient Of
moral support from England during
the war between the United States
and Spain, will do nothing distaste-
ful TO Great Britain. This is posi-
tive, and was stated emphatically
Second, while the sympathies Of the
Pre- sident aud his Cabinet are, to an
extent, with the Beers, yet their
love for England is stronger an0
outweighs their friendliness for the
KrugeriteS. Third, the President
will not interfere, believing as he
does that Intervention might incite
some foreign Power to take hand
in the Philippine war" TO these
reasons might be added that offers
Of mediation by this country would
come with poor grace at time
when it is itself engaged in war Of
conquest.

BRIGHT, witty, big-hearted Bob
Taylor, is worthy any position he
may aspire to, and deserving any
honor the people of his native state
may bestow upon him. But that
man who will tempt him from the
tiOwery path he is now treading, TO
again enter upon the thorny road of
political turmoil and strife, is not his
friend. He announced while here
that he was out Of politics, positive
ly and emphatically, and that he
was not and would not be a candi-
date for any office. We were glad
to hear that, for we love him too
well to wish that he may ever again
become the butt of the critics or the
mark for scandal mongers.

A CIRCULAR issued by Price, Nc
Cormick & Co., of New York, indi-
Gates the probable shortage of the
cotton crop. 1t is made up of re-
ports from careful and capable OBJ
servers throughout the cotton belt.
1t gives Mr.. Neill a sharp rap, and
shows that that individual could not
have been ignorant of conditions
when he issued his notorious bear
circular in August. Neill only did
what his British brethren pay him
to do-did what he could to keep
down the price of cotton. But he
overshot his mark for once. His
prediction was so fiagrantly in con-
tradiction of we'll known facts that
its motive was apparent, and the in
dignatlon it aroused caused the facts
to become widely known and had
the ultimate result of putting up the
price of cotton beyond what it would
have been if Mr.. Neill had been con-
sentative.

RAILROAD AND OTHER PR OBJECTS.

RAILROAD AND OTHER PROJECTS.
Mr.. A. G. Floyd, the Secretary of
the Chamber of Commerce, is in cor
respondence with fertilizer experts
in reference to the location here of
an acid phosphate mandatory, and
perhaps plant for the manufacture
of the complete fertilizer, and CO.
lumbia could get the phosphate
which is the principal constituent
in most fertilizers, for One-half, per-
haps One-third of what it costs other
places, and could secure the sui
phuric acid and other ingredients
practically as cheap as Nashville
and other cities in the central south.
This ought to give her decidedly the
advantage of other places, especially
so far as the southern markets are
concerned.
1t is expected that a mass-meeting
of citizens will be held at Mt. Pleas
ant next week to discuss the pro-
| posed electric railroad between the
two towns. Some of Columbia's
best speakers will be asked to ad-
dress the meeting in favor of the
road, aud an expression of opinion
will be secured from the Mt. Pleas
ant people. Not until this is done
can it be definitely ascertained as to
what attitude the ruling elements
at Mt. Pleasant will finally assume
toward the road. In the meantime
the additional train and the reduced
fare granted by the L. & n. railroad
upon request OF the Chamber, has
greatly facilitated travel between
Mt. Pleasant and Columbia.

GIVE THEM A CHANCE.

At the Huntsville convention Gov.
Johnston, of Alabama, spoke Of the
town idlers and street corner lOafers,
and advised them to 90 to work. He
said that we could not expect to at
tract foreign enterprise so long as
visitors from distance find so many
loungers talking politics.
The Governors advice is excel
lent. If he bad only told the young
men of the South what to do he
would have been indeed a prophet.
But he told them to go to work and
let it go at that.
Gov. Johnston Is as we'll aware as
another man of the restricted oppor-
tunities of the small towns and viii
lagos of the South. Young men
without property have been reared
and educated in manner that I'M
fits them for manual labor. The
manufacturing enterprises are few.
No openings exist in commercial life
in Southern towns for one in ten Of
the youth who could fill them &C
ceptably. To learn trade after
reaching adult years is no easy task.
If the village youth should pocket
his pride and seek employment at
common labor he would come into
competitor with negroes. Not only
that, but in most cases he would be
told that he is not fit for the work
and not wanted.
For these reasons our town and
village youth leave home and seek
afar opportunities denied them at
their birthplace. They have to
choose between leaving or remain
ing to become chronic idlers. Those
of the best mettle leave. Ali over
vhe United States and in foreign
countries they are giving good &C
count of themselves.
Of course much depends upon the
individual. Some people would
forge ahead anywhere. But is the
average, or even the weak, person to
be put entirely out of consideration?
Manufacturing in some form will
pay almost anywhere in the South.
With manufacturing more general
these bows could go to work, and
most Of them would do it.
We do not agree with the Cover
nor's view that the presence of idle
people will repel intending employ.
ers of labor. The cotton mills in the
Carolinas were first erected where
large white population existed witt
scanty opportunity to work.
If anything is to be done in this
direction the initiative must be
taken and the bulk of the work done
by the Southern people. Nearly ev
erything that has been done to date
has been done by Southern brain
capital and energy. The foreign in
weston will embark in nothing tha
would not give handsome returns t.
home enterprise.
Another thing: When capitalist
from a distance go into business en-
terprises they bring their skilled
well-paid and confidential employee
with them. They want people whom
they know and can trust, and draw
on little except common labor.
Give the boys chance. We mus
do it ourselves, and not wait for phil
anthropic capitalists. These ar
scarce.

IN an interview Senator Mallory,
of Florida, stated that opposition to
imperialism is general throughout
the South. Senator Mallory did not
announce a discovery. He merely
stated a fact. The South will go to
any length in defense of the nation.
1t is also brave enough to condemn
lending the military and naval
strength of the nation to carry on a
war of conquest for the benefit of
contractors and place hunters.

WARRANTS FOR COUNTIES.
Reimbursement Will Be Allowed For
Criminal Prosecutions.

Rv Attorney General Bishop, State

of examiners, receding from their con-

Emery, $3.50: Willard, $3.50, and to
WAYNE county, S195, on this account,
but the claims not having first been
passed upon by the board of examiners,

the appropriated sums could not be le-

reflection, resulting in a conclusion that
there is some doubt as to the Soundness

COL. KAIGHN WANTS JOSEPH
PIERoNNET TO PAY.
Files a Peppery Complaint Against
Them In Justice Sommer's Court
Fraudulent Transfer of Property

Colonel Maurice M. Kaighn yesterday,
in Justice Sommer's court, sued Joseph
w. Pieronnet and his wife, Anna B..
Pieronnet, for balance of 5000 on an
attorneys fee. In rather peppery pc
tition Colonel Kaighn alleges that in
1896 Mr.. Pieronnet shot and seriously
wounded Mrs. Pieronnet. He defended
him, and by the skillful and able exer-
else of his legal talents, succeeded in
securing an acquittal.
AS a consideration for his efficient
services, Colonel Kaign alleges thai
Pieronnet agreed to pay him fee Of
$3.50, of which $50 was paid in cash. To
secure the balance Pieronnet, according
to the complaint, gave kaighn chat
tel mortgage on some saloon fixtures
he claimed to own. Subsequently Pier
onnet, so Colonel Kaighn alleges. fraud
ulently transferred the mortsaSed
property &c mis- wife, with the intent of
avoiding the payment of the debt.
Mrs Pieronnet, by her attorneys,
Zane & Rogers. yesterday afternoon
filed a demurrer and an answer to the
complaint. In the demurrer it is ar
gued that the case, as to the woman,
should be dismissed, on the ground that
the complaint doesn't set up facts suffi-
cient to constitute a cause of action
against her. In her answer, Mrs. Pier
onnet contents herself with a general
denial of the allegations contained in
the petition.

SCHOOL LAND DECISION.
Swansea Decision Does Not Seriously
Affect States Interests.

The announcement in yesterdays dis
patches from Washington that the gem
eral land office had decided against the
protest of the state of Utah in the
Swansea Mining company's application
for patent to a mining claim situated on
a school section, was construed py some
persons to mean that the states land
Interests had suffered an adverse rul-
ing. But Secretary Groo of the state
board of land commissioners does not
see it that way. Such lands as were
granted to Utah by the government
within school sections, if the lands were
known to be mineral in character prior
to statehood. are specifically exempted
from the operation of the grant. For
this reason the state land board did not
press its objection to the Swansea's APP
nlication for patent. nor did it succeed
in contesting the Cleopatra'S applica-
ton for the same reason.
However, the title to school sections
granted to the state, upon when sec
tions mineral is discovered after state
hood. will remain vested in the state,
and the land board, instead of the gen
eral government, will have to be con-
suited by persons who want clear titles
to their mining locations, If the same
are situated upon any sections num-
bered ., 16, 80 and So.
In the case of the Swansea and the
Cleopatra applications, the claims are
within a section sc in Tintic mining
district and among others in this sec
ton are the Picnic, Four Aces and
Rabbits Foot group of mines, but be-
cause of this section being known to
be mineral in character prior to the
admission of Utah to the Union, the
that the state can hold or
cover title to this section is erroneous
and contrary to all decisions.
