For some two years the pure
and altogether lovely city of Bos-
ton has been solving the problem
of how to get rid of the ice man,
and other vulgar and expensive in
dividuals ordinarily deemed essen
tial to the happiness of a large
town. The last mayor happens
to be u banker, and, as a practical
business man, he did q little in
vestigating into the workings of
the theories of his municipal
ownership" predecessor. He
found that the oity's ice plant was
furnishing ice for the public drink
lng-fountains at an actual cost of
$50 per ton, as against less than
$500 charged by private concerns,
and that every thing else was in
proportion. Buyers of old plants
of every description have been
having a picnic in Boston for some
weeks past, while the dreamers of
civic reform through municipal
control of private franchises are
wondering why their scheme
Wouldn't work IN practice like it
did on paper.

The death of Mr.. George Lamb
which occurred at Lithia Springs
last Monday and his burial in the
cemetery at this place Wednesday
removed from our citizenship one
of the best known and liked men
that ever lived in Greenville. Up
to q few months ago when his
health failed him, he was IN the
employ of the Southern r. r., as
conductor on the Percy branch,
and where by his kind heart and
pleasant manners to all who had
business on the road or came in
contact with him, he made them
his friends and proved a valuable
employee of the road. Praise at
our hands is unnecessary, HIS
life and deeds is his own eulogy.
and those who knew HIM best
loved him most. He leaves de-
voted wife, sonand daughter, and
a large host of kinship and
friends to mourn his sad loss, and

A FALL CELEBRATION.

We are proud of the support
the business men of our city arr
giving the committee IN this work
All seem to realize the benefits il
will be, not only to the business
but to GreenvilIe's future. An.
other sign of its success is the way
the young men of the city are
uniting with the Association, put
ting their shoulders to the work
in securing others and money to
carry it on. Say the Carnival
only draws, during the SIX days,
5000 people a day to the city,
none of whom can spend less than
a dollar a day, it means 10000
to Greenville that she would not
have otherwise received. But
coming on at the time it does
when the business houses of the
city will have on exhibit their
new fall goods-the sum will be
far in excess of that above, and
every man, every business, pro-
fession and trade will receive its
part of it.
The Association is permanent
one-the celebration will be held
annually, and each year the COM
mittee in charge will try to make
it a grander one than the last.
The Cotton Carnival parade will
draw from the North to our Delta,
investors and farmers, who will
see at every turn golden opportun
ities--paying investments in which
they will invest, thereby helpin 9
us to make our city rank anon
the first in capital and population
with any of the state, and our
forests turned into fields of cotton
and corn. Pass the word of sue
cess dcwn the line, Open your
purse and heart to the committee
Let your voice be heard at the
meetings and the celebration we
will have this fall will open the
eyes of all.

In our judgment this country
should resort to whatever means
may be necessary to promptly put
into China just as many men as
may be needed to meet the re-
sponslbilities devolving upon our
position, interests and ability.
Secretary Hays position is the
only tenable one for us to occupy.
but he had as we'll saved the cable
tolls paid for communicating it to
European cabinets, if we are not
to be adequately represented by
the visible evidences of our de-
termination of making good our
declarations, when the time comes
for the powers to sit in judgment
on China's future. With China
partitioned among the powers of
Europe, the only thing we could
do with the Philippines would be
to authorize Mr.. Bryan to pre-
sent them to Aguinaldo, with the
assurance that this country had
no further intention OF pressing
down upon his fair, laboring brow
an ycrown except that of kingshlp
over the islands. Deprived oil
the possibility of building up a |
trade with China, we would have |
little use for any extensive base
near her shores.

1t shall be our purpose to make
The Times the best weekly news
paper IN this state. We have be-
gun by purchasing an entirely
new outfit, press and type, and
equipplng the Office with electric
power. We hope to have all this
installed within q few weeks, when
we shall be prepared to do any
sort of job work, and be able to
get out q neat and attractively got
ten up paper, something of which
we shall not be ashamed every
time we look it in the face. We
shall give the general news OF
the week, and shall also specially
endeavor to give all the news Of
the state and of the Delta counties.
For the present we shall content
ourselves with publishing a week
ly paper. We have not the
wealth requisite to the getting out
of a daily paper for the benefit Of
the dear people. when we have to
do it at loss,-however much we
may love them.
Whenever we are satisfied that
a first-cIass daily paper will pay
we shall endeavor to publish such
a one. Until we can make it pay,
us to furnish the public a news
service which shall be something
more than mere trayesty, we
shall wait.

ment can immunity from periodic
floods be afforded us; we mu 81 get
it there or we shall never get it at
all. Pending the realization of this
object, the Levee Board of this
district stands to the people of
the district as the only source of
protection to which they can look,
land, for them, tits charged with the
gravest responsibilities devolving
upon any public body now consti-
tuted under our laws. 1t must
not only handle our taxes, but,
must handle them in such man
ner as to prevent our paying them
for something we do not get.
What the taxpayer wants is the
greatest amount of protection with
the least possible expense. The
attitude of this paper towards the
Levee Board shall be to commend
where we can and to crlticise where
we must. Right here we want to
say that we do not know, in the
light of pet, any cold board" or
any new hoard" With us it is
the Levee Board, and we shall
always hold the ground we now
occupy as regards tive do not
care how or by whom it is cousti-
.tuted. Though all this may bear
the Utopian impress of the tyro, |
yet we conceive it to be of easy
accomplishment, if we but hold
ourselves true to those whom we
profess to serve, and observe the |
mandate of the good old motto of |
a good old state

Mr.. Bryan declared then and at,

is ''imperialism, and imperial

According to Consul.General
Goodnow, the total foreign trade
of China for 1899 reached the
respectable figure of 1927. POS, 901,
more than double the figures OF
1890. This is worth something to
the world, and it rests with our
government, largely, to say what
our share may be. When we re-
member that the first railway was
Quilt in China in 1875, and that
this nine mile line was immediate
ly bought and demolished by the
government, we may realize the
possibilities when the more than
three thousand miles now project
ed are in operation. At present her
$50, 600, 900 of people, occupying
100000 square miles Of the
eafth's, surface, have exactly
516.S miles of track. They have
probably torn up the eight-tenths
during the past few weeks.

The Commercial-Appeal save
that we shall have to use the soft
pedal in talking abont militarism

that that plank had better be cut
out Of the Democratic platform
until after the China situation has
materially changed. Just as well
let it alone. It's tongune and
grove 6t some other planks SO
nicely that the harmony OF the
whole platform might be destroy

There is one thing, however,
which closely resembles the poor
in one respect, at least. Every
four years sees each party plotting
the destruction of the government,
and each party frantically endeav
oring to save it. The only variety
we can get out of the quadrennia
tragedy is in the adoption of new
methods of performing the de-
truction act, with an occasional re-
casting of the leading roles.

The Times editor regretted to
hear of the death of Mrs. j. w.
Frlmrose, the beloved wife of Rev.
=. ". Primrose, pastor of the
Presbyterian church in this citv.
From all we have heard speak of
the deceased, she must have been
a noble, christian woman, whose
life was devoted only to the ac-
compllshment of good deeds. Our
s:ymPathles go out to DR.. Primrose
in his great loss.

A telegram from Cincinnati
Tuesday morning was received by
Rev. Quincy Ewing of st. James
Episcopal church announcing, that
by unanimous vote, he was
called to the Rectory of the St.
Paul's Cathedral, a church with
one of the largest memberships of
that city. Several weeks ago we
heard that the proposition was
made Mr.. Ewing, but was not ac-
cepted, But now, since the call
is a unanimous one and the field is
so rich with promise, we do not
see how he can refuse unless it be
for the love and admiration
his own membership here has for
him, which we know with. him
towers far above dollars and cents.
Mr.. Ewing is today one of the
best pulpit orators in the South
his sermons are original, strong
and convincing, and all show that
deep study and thought are devoted
to them, and we predict for Mr..
Ewing, should he accept the
call of Cincinnati, or any large
city, his power will be telt and it
will be but a few months before
be will rank among the noted
preachers of the country. We
would regret, like all whom we
nave heard express themselves,
q see HIM leave his church here
nd our little city, still if through |
lis own interest he SO decides,
ur best wishes for his success
nd happiness go with him and
is devoted wife to his new charge
nd their new home. =

EXECUTIVE SESSIONS.


The theory upon which execu-
tive or secret sessions of delib era
tive or administrative bodies have
been justified under De mocratic
form OF government, 10 that there
some times arise matters touch
ing the public welfare which can
better be transacted away fro m
The public gaze than in the pres
ence of spectators, however in
terested,- because, primarily,
when so situated all possibility of
the effect of pressure arising from
the presnce of outside parties is
removed. In the case Of the
Senate we have the additional JUS
LITIGATION Tor Secrecy c0nered by
the broad charity OF the latltudin-
GUS expression "pubIic policy. :"
Such sessions have pretty general
ly degenerated into mere forces.
This Is true of the Senate, for the
proceedings of an executive session
are known as soon as transacted;
and it has been true of the Board
of Levee Commissioners for this
district, for an executive session
has never proven a barrier to ex-
treneous influences or the presence
of outsiders.
But this, too, we understand is
changed, and henceforth an ''exe-
cutlve session" is to be an execu-
tive session in something more
than the name. Nobody is to be
present but the member s-no, not
even the attorney.
1t may not be amiss to remark,
in speaking of changes, that the
Times really and sincerely expects
to see many improvements in the
conduct of the affairs of the board
during the next few months. A
careful administration of its finan-
cial affalrs,-a scrutinizlng of the
accounts of fiscal offers for the
past four years; businessllke
letting of contracts, and only to
parties absolutely not in any way
connected with the members or
officials of the institution. These
things and many others that must
suggest themselves from time to
time to the business sense of It's
members, will command such a
degree of universal and non-parti-
san confidence as the board has
not enjoyed for many years.
Always provided, however,
gentlemen, that in all matters
touching the discharge of the trust
reposed in you, you keep your
skirts always clean of the faint of
jobbery, political favoritlsm or
political spite, and bring to your
aid the best business sense you
have,-coupled with an honest de-
termination to look at the affairs
of the board only from the stand
point of a trustee of the interests
of taxpayers entitled to your best
and most faithful service. This
is what the people who pay the
taxes want,-lt is what they
should have, and with nothing
short OF 1t will they be satisfied.

found an omission in the Demo

to amend that document by charg-
ing Mckinley with being directly
responsible for the Boxer upris-
