TIMES GETS AFTER THoMASToNITES.
Says Some Things That Apply to Other
Towns as Well as Its Own.

The Thomast0n Times gives the citi-
zens of its town this racy roast: This
town can fly from one extreme to the
other quicker than any place we ever
knew or heard Of. One day it will be at
the white heat of enthusiasm, and TO pee
pie who do not know the town it looks
as If something of some mo-
ment ID about TO be accomplished.
But "lookers ON In Vienna" should not
lose sight of the stubborn fact that talk
is one thing and doing is quite another.
w hen one learns to differentiate between
winds and deeds he has sized up this
town and estimated 1t correctly. If one
day it can be enthusiastic and you feel
like raising an umbrella to keep off the
heat, the next day the zero weather of
indifference will play up and down your
spinal column and you hesitate TO Swan
der from your own fireside' without
chunk of fire for fear Of being frozen to
death,
Recently we have heard great deal
about factory here. No one took it
very seriously. 1t is an old joke with
whiskers which is trOtted out about
once year when collections are gOOd
and corn juice easily obtaina BILE. 1t never
gets any further than lip service and
dies borning. 1t does seem that self"
ishness which moves people when
nothing else will, ought to decide the
matter and decide it right now. II the
merchants Of this town had half an eye
t. business they would have a factory
here with pay roll which would mean
something 10 them. But they place
dollar before their eyes and it shuts out
their vision and they can not see the
thousands OF dollars which lie Just be-
yond. Others are too stingy to invest o
cent unless they tie string to it ready
to pull it back as soon as it leaves their
sight. They squeeze the goddess of lib
erty so constantly and So tightly it is a
wonder she does not sue them tor breach
of promise. Gentlemen, let US have less

1t will be recalled that Brigham Fl.
r obelts of Utah, when making speect
in defense of himself at the beginning of
this congress, charged that the president
had appointed polygamist postmasters at
Provo City and Logan, Utah. The charge
created tremendous stir at the time.
GrosvenOr of Ohio, in an impassioned
speech of ten minutes, denied that Nc
Kinley appointed polygamist. Anyway,
Congressman Lentz of Ohio, a democrat,
offered resolution providing for an in
vestigation of the charge.
"RepCblican polygamy is as bad as
democratic polygamy," he said, "let's go
to the bottom of the thing"

When z

The pension bill, carrying $145 PAS, $50
was passed by the house Friday as
matter of course. When the tax payers
are to be relieved of this incredible bur-
den of hundred and fifty millions
year, which is the wonder of foreign ma
tions, no man can foretell. The knowl-
edge that there ale still some pensions
paid for services in the revolutionary
war gives reason for the fear that cen
fury must pass before We shall be entire
" relieved, and meanwhile fresh wars
and fresh profigacy in awarding pensions
with an eye to political effect will likely
make the burden eternal. Our only con-
clusion is that the practice induces the
belief among foreigners that we are rich

the churches, saying it was not in keep

the church. He insisted that the preach

OF the service. The trend of the move

if continued, would undoubtedly hurt
the spirituality of the Church. be said

An other thing, be continued, was the

The fact that Genera Otis has not

the departure of Genera Bates expe-
IditiOn to southern LuZon to complete
the plan of opening the hemp ports in

PROSPEROUS MILLING ENTERPRISE

Captain J. A. Richardson, of White

here he showed a member of The Mes
senger staff a collection Of we'll photo
graphed views of h Richardson Cy-
press Lumber and Single Company,
located in the midst Of a splendid belt
of fine cypress timber lands twenty
nine miles from Georgetown, at Bucks
port, s. G.
The stockholders in the company are
j. A. Richardson & Son, of Whiteville,
and Watson Malone & Sons, of Phila-
delphia. The plant has been in opera
ton for about one year n is proving
a success in every way.
They are equipped for turning out
both cypress lumber and shingles. the
latter being their speciality.
They have already five miles of rail.
way constructed into their timber
lands, the road being laid with so
pound steel rails. Their system of log
gIng, by tramways, is a departure from
the method usually practiced in thai
section, the usual method being to cut
logs during the dry season and fioa
them out when the water would rise
sufficiently high. Mr.. Richardson is es.
pecially pleased with the outlook fol
the success of his enterprise.
