and sleeves OF her mother-hubbard
rolled up to the elbow, opened the front
door and shifted the morning air Of the
tenement district. She looked up and
down the block to see who were out
ahead of her. Mrs Kate Farrell was
sitting Oh her front stoop with her
tongue waggipg and her arms akimbo,
while Mrs. Dora OReilly and Mrs.
Sarah MacAvoy leaned on the brooms
with which they made pretense OF
sweeping the pavement and listened
eagerly to what Mrs. Farrell was saying.
They were discussing the rumor that
Mrs. Davis was two months back with
her rent.
"And her OLD man DRAWN pay regu-
lar from the shipyards,' said Mrs. Mac
Avoy.
"Good mornin', Mrs. Davis. We was
just sayin' how nice twas that yer hus-
band has a stiddy job" che added as
Mrs. Davis approached.
II knew yees was gabblin' about
somebody" remarked Mrs. Davis, look.

But she could not long harbor dark
thoughts, as che had news to tell"
"The sign trent is took off my house.
she announced.
why, so it's! Who's movin' in?"
came in a chorus.
Mrs. Skinner. who was coming towards
the group from the rear Of No. OIL,
pricked up her ears and broke into a
trot.
81 amt heard. But il it amt nobody
take a likih' to" and Mrs. Davis
paused ominously.
1t was not necessary to complete the
sentence. as the neighborhood knew
that no family had ever been able to
stay more than their allotted three
months in the little house at the rear OF
the one occupied by Mrs. Davis. She
was fat, pugnacious and had flow OF
vituperative language that had made
her the bully Of the block. She was
hated and feared, but no one ever OPP
posed her more than once. 1t is report.
ed that she thrashed Davis when the
evenings we're dull and lime hung heavy
on her hands.
There's a movin' wagon comm up
the street." said Mrs. Skinner, whose
eyes were as good as her ears. The
group rushed to the curbstone.

she is, settin' on the seat with the driver.
Too stingy to pay car-fare. l suppose
said Mrs. MacAvoy.
"She amt much to look at. No big

"One O. them putty-faced women with
no heart in 'em. Give me a woman with

"Ill take no back talk from the likes

her broom as il she already saw herself
routing this new enemy.
"Yees all come in me back yard" said
Mrs. Dora O'Reilly cordially, "and be
lookin' over me fence. Yees kin see
what kind O. furniture goes in"
By the time the wagon backed up to
the curbstone they we're stationed at
excellent points Of observation, while
Mrs. Davis stood in her wood-shed door.
The newcomers lips came together in
thin, straight line when she saw the
heads Oh the other side Of the fence.

Boycott and Strike.

We learn that petition has been presented
to some OF our business men, asking them not
to ship freight over the Seaboard Air Line as
long as the strike at the shops was on, OF
words to that effect.
Our citizens have no concern with the dif
ferences between the officers Of the road and
the gentlemen who lately threw up their Jobs
and 1t Is fair to presume that a majority o
our business men will not take part in this
fight. We have authority of an old book
which is revered by at least portion Of oul
people, that he who "meddleth with strife
belonging not to him, is like one that taketh
dog by the ears" The officers Of the road
and the gentlemen who quit their jobs are
fully competent to take care Of themselves
and 1t is possible that our people cannot az
ford to become involved in a trouble which
does not concern them. Abbeville paid the
road $4,000 10 secure the location Of It's shops
and 1t would seem unnatural now for the
town to engage in fight against the road.
Our people have nothing but the kindest
feeling for the gentlemen who have felt 30 ag
grieved that they must quit their jobs For
these reasons we presume that our people
will not take part In the struggle
Their former expenditure OF money, and
their present personal good feeling for the
gentlemen who are at variance with the road
would prevent their interference. May the
right win.

TIlIman and McLauriu.

The idea that Tillman had resigned much
In yielding up his six year commission pre-
walls. 1t is true that Tillman threw away
great deal. But did not McLaurin throw
away more? He has, 1t is true, shorter
term to serve, but he has the ear OF the
authorities at Washington, and could, In
measure, dispense the Government patro
mage. He Ia at the head of q revolution
which is as certain to win sooner or later in
South Carolina, as 1t is possible to foresee any
event.
McLaurin's position as politician was i'm
pregnable. His speeches were statesmanlike
and even Tillman has not tried to answer
them, while the lesser lights. who have tried
70 answer a fraction of them, have only
shown that McLaurin was right.
Tillman is q strong man, but he Is not a
logical reasoner. He has never made q
speech which would compare with
those of McLaurin, and the bent OF
his mind is such that he cannot sue
cessfully engage in a respectful and courteous
debate with any man of McLaurins ability
In such debate he could not meet McLaurin,
He couldn't reply to McLaurln's speeches TO
save his LIE. But as a shrewd politician,
bulldozer or bully, McLaurin Is no nearer q
match for Tillman, than Tillman would be
for him In a respectful and intellectual debate
on any national question.
No man need deny the ability and states
nanship OF McLaurin's speeches. And no
man need deny that he has a strong following
In South Carolina. 1t need not be questioned
that bis politics will sooner or later prevail
in this State. They are Democratic.
Tillman must have realized that his day OF
bullying and debating to the voters OF South
Carolina was passing. II this were not true,
why did he thrust himself upon McLauriu
meeting. at which he must have had no busi-
ness, except to create disturbance?
Tillman is a strong man, where coarseness,
rudeness and the arts Of the bully may pre-
vail, but he is no match for McLaurin In an
intellectual combat, where the proprieties are
observed, and where appeal to reason Is
made.
Tillman has on record no speech to COM
pare in ability and convincing logic with Nc
Laurin's speeches at Charlotte and Green
Vile, and he has furnished no proof that he
has the ability to conduct a controversary or
argument without recourse to passion and
the making of ugly charges.

The Senatorial Resignation.

The tender OF their resignation by Senators
Tillman and McLaurin struck this comDun
ity amid ship. And as far as we have heard
expression there Is general disgust at the
action Of both Senators. A number
have expressed the hope that both OF them
may be defeated for reelection. They seem
to:think that the Senators are trifling with
the people, and lightly throwing down the
honors which have been conferred upon
them.
Both Senators are alike censured, and the
wish has been expressed that the State might
be rid of both, and that they might be excus
ed from further public service just now.
A more foolish. or more in polite act than
that of the Senators at Gsffney would be
hard to conceive, and impossible Of perform
ance.

The GaGney Meeting.

Senator McLaurin had been invited to
speak at Gatfney last Saturday, and, as Will
be seen BY the account of that meeting,
Senator Tilmau managed to get himself In
yited. too; and upon that invitation he
thrust his presence upon the meeting. 1t was
none OF his business to be there. The people
OF South Carolina are abundsnty able to
take care of themselves, and his intermed'
ding in campaign in which he was not coz
cerned was little less than an attempt To act
the role of dictator.
The revolution is on, and no effort OF tue
dictator can stop 1t. This revolution is not Oh
McLaurin's S origin, but the thing has existed
for a time in the hearts Of the people, waiting
for a leader and spokesman.
McIaurin touched the popular heart by his
able and statesmanlike presentation of his
political views, and the people will support
leader who will fight along the line which
McLaurin has mapped out.
This newspaper has confidence that the
campaign which McLaurin has started, will
end in success.
His vote on the treaty Of peace has given
offence 10 nobody, as far as we have heard.
But whether approved or not. expansion Is
a settled fact. 1t is no longer question.
His views on subsidy are not unpopular In
the South. Subsidy" is not Democratic
doctrine. Neither is a Republican doctrine.
1t Is universal doctrine. II Is universal, De-
cause people OF all shades of political and
economic belief favor it, when 1t Is for the
public good.
We subsidize railroads. Did not the town
of Abbeville give money for the establish
ment OF the Seaboard Air Line Shops? Did
not the State Of South Carolina subsidize the
Big Indian Show at Charleston. by giving II
$4,000? Did not the same show ask Congress
for quarter Of million dollars? Did not
Tillman favor that subsidy?
There is no doubt about it, the old populis.
tic planks Of the Democratic party must be
removed.
The Democratic party cannot expect TO
gain national success as long as 1t is local
party, with one set OF principles for the
South, another set for the West, and with
none at all for the North.

The EXPENSE.

The State makes good point. when 1t sug.
gests that Tillman and McLautln should pay
the expense Of the primary election, which
their foolishness has unnecessarily incurred.
That paper estimates the cost OF primary al
$4,000. 1t is bad enough TO have the people
Of the State disturbed. but 1t Is entirely un-
just to levy tax of $4,000 on them to crafty
the whim or caprice of the distinguished
Senators.
In speaking of the matter on the street the
suggestion was made. that If the people had
to pay the expense, both Senators should be
defeated. Abbeville's share OF the $4,000
would be s250-and 1t can't be raised here for
so unjust purpose as that Of an uncalledfor
primary.

Porto Rico.

The United States Supreme Court, by five
to four, decided that Porto Rico Is not foreign
territory, but sustains the law which re-.
quires the collection OF duty on imports and
exports between that island and the United
States. The decision Is to the effect that the
United States may own territory to the peo-
pie Of which constitutional rights are with
held until specifically conferred by Congress.

For Senator.

In looking over the State for suitable men
to fill one OF the vacancies which may pos
siably occur In the United States Senate we
would ask the attention Of the people 10 the
merits, the ability and the availability OF the
Hon. W. c. Benet. We can now recall the
name OF no man who is better qualified for
the position. His education and his bent OF
mind eminently qualify him for seat in the
United States Senate. In point of ability he
Is interior to no man. In argument he Is res.
pectiul and forceful. AS diplomat, he
would be prepared to secure from Washing
ton as much for bis people, as any man that
we could send 10 the Senate.

A good school Ia a blessing to any com

The bright faces OF the children indicated
that they were glad OF the vacation. and We
nave no doubt that the teachers, one and all,
were glad to have a rest. They have worked
hard, and they deserve a rest. And those
children, who by their studies, have been a

done honor to themselves and 10 their teach
