LOCALIZED ROBBERY.

With cotton at cents pound, an
average bale is worth about $35. If
made into goods at cents yard, it
is worth $S7. If all the cotton grown
in South Carolina was manufactured
there, it would be worth seventy
million dollars instead of twenty
eight millions. And it would be
manufacture there il it didn't cost
as much to move it ten miles in the
State as it costs to move it a thOus-
and miles out Of it.
That is just one example of how
the railroad corporations systemati.
cally rob the producers in every
State in this Union, but more par.
ticnlarly in the Southern States.
The same principle applies to
phosphate In Tennessee that doe:
to cotton in South Carolina. Why
should South Carolina ship its cot
ton to the East to be manufactured
into goods? Because the railroads
want to haul it both ways, aud by 1
system of freight rates they discrim
mate against factories located neal
the field OF production.
Why should Maury county ship IL

TO BUILD UP COLUMBIA.

There is no better way to build up
community than for the people
themselves to buy and build. When
a man owns his home he becomes
citizen in the full sense of the word.
Until he does he is liable to move at
any time. You can look at a house
and almost tell with certainty when
the occupants own the place or rent
it. If the paint is fresh and the
grass green; if flowers bloom and
ornamental vines cluster and cling
to it, you may be sure that is some
body's home. But if the fences are
dilapidated, the grass dead, the
porches bare of flowers, shade or
vines, the house rough like new
lumber, that is the tenement place
of campers. Homes beautify a city ;
rented places rarely do. Improved
property is good investment; I'M
improved property is poor invest
ment. 1t seldom grows in value fast
enough to keep up with the interest
and taxes.
Such land sales as was held last
week, dividing acres into building
lots, helps city by encouraging the
building of homes. More such sales
would not only be advantageous to
the town, but to the holders of un'
improved city and suburban prop
erty. Property can be sold to better
advantage this way than any other
and it gives the people a chance tC
invest their small savings in safe
securities. 1t is good thing. Some
of our real estate men ought to take
hold of the idea and push it along.

THE present Board of Mayor and
Aldermen have had more than their
share Of perpleXing questions to deal
with, and we would not wantonly
add a straw to their load. Butin our
judgment there is one good thing
they can do that everybody will
thank them for. And that is to
wage a war of determination against
the English sparrow. These little
pests are multiplying 50 rapidly that
something must be done to thin
them out. They build their nests in
cutters of houses, causing oveTtl )ws
and making leaks. Their droppings
upon the roofs of hous IS befOul the
cisterns. They have driven nearly
all the song BIRDS and other birds OF
pretty plumage out of Columbia
Their interminable chirp and chatter
is one constant irritation. They are
a worry and bother and do no good
Let's spend a little money and gel
rid OF them. Offer one cent piec,
for them, dead or alive. A. thai
price 800 would buy and destroy tel
thousand of them. One hundred
dollars OF the peoples money could
not be better spent than in that way
and nothing, we believe, would b,
given more unanimous consent. 1

it makes one impatient for the time
when Carmack will have good
chance to deliver himself to the
country on the floor of the Senate,
There is nothing in the interview
that true sons of the South did not
already know; but there is much in
It that certain political sycophants
of the South would have the people
forget. And as for the North, they
are simply ignorant of the South and
need to be informed,
There is nothing more offensive
than the "forgiving" air aud sweet
condescension with which Mr.. Nc
Kinley and others of his kind seek to
"hatter" the South. They are sur
prised at everything good they find
in the South. The people dress well,
aud treat strangers with becoming
hospitality-to their surprise. They
are glad to find that secession" and
treason" no longer stalk the land.
They thoJght it did. Peace and
quiet and good cheer prevail!
Pity some small boy did dot think
to cry rats !"
By the way, while peace and good
cheer prevail in the South, panice
and riots, strikes and shut downs,

the North. The SOuth-the home
of Democracy and native born, pure

won't allow it to be manufactured at
home. Through their freight rates
they can and do legislate far more
successfully against the producer,
than the State can or does legislate
against the railroads.
Now these facts being generally
known and admitted. what is the
use of arguing them? We submit
that the people ought to arouse them
selves to action. They should go to
war to reclaim their own. The next
Legislature should belong to the
people, and be of the people, and for
the people, and be elected by the
people. And it should be understood
and discussed during the campaign
that no such legerdermain to steal
from the people the privilege to en-

OUR dispatches tell us that Al
bany, n. Y, is in a frenzy of excite
ment; that innocent citizens are shot
by 1.-The guards that crowds swarm
the streets, cursing 1.-The guards.
Then what? Why what else could
happen in this government of the
corporations and militarism, except
martial rule ?" Martial rule is
necessary, forsooth, because strikers
attempt to prevent the running Of
street cars; and that is not a bad
law per Sc. Bat what a wretched
condition it is for the country that
corporations may grind and starve
and maltreat their employees; force
them to desperate acts Of violence,
then appeal to the strong arm of the
law and find it quick. to send its

fault is not in quelling the riot, but
in permitting the conditions which
provoke the riot. The fault is not

THE importance of the State Nor

four weeks, should not be under

pie. TIE character, moral and in
tellectual, of the people who attend
these Institutes, is one OF its favora-
BILE features. Their months stay in
the community will have an educa-
tive, refining, wholesome effect, and,
if we make a favorable impression,
the good words they may say of US
| when they are gone, will be worth
much. Supt. Fitzpatrick says that
the minimum attendance of these
Institutes has been little over 200
He thinks there should be as many

Refused to Obey Life Guards.

According to dispatch from Atlantic
City dated Tuesday, an attorney named
A. H. High, hailing from Washington, was
arraigned in the police court at Atlantic
City charged by the life guards with re-
fusing to obey their orders to return to the
beach from a point in the surf where he
had been bathing. Highs defense was that
the guards were not authorized to exercise
police powers below low-water mark. The
guards explained that High was in danger
at a point where they would be unable to
reach him in time in case of accident. He
was a considerable distance from the shore
where the surf was heavy.
The court suspended sentence after warn
ing High that if he gave the guards fur
Their trouble he would be fined.
