Grows Out Of Elm ar.e,

~ AAS~
Some time ago George Febry, Co,lege
of st. James, Washington County, Md.
bored a hole through an elm tree and
inserted a growing Concord grapevine.
which, when it had grown so 1t filled
the hole, was cut off at one end. The
vine continued to grow, being fed, 1t Is
supposed, with sap from the elm tree,
and bore luscious grapes. A writer in
Meehan's Monthly expresses his belief
that the heart of the elm tree was rot
ten. The vine could send its roots
through the rotten material, even down
to mother earth. But only in e
ance would 1t be "fed by the sap Of
the elm tree" The writer knows of a
currant bush that bears freely every
year, and has for many years, that has
hold in a decayed spot in a linden
tree.

Commencement Orators.

We learn that Erskine College has invited
Senator Depew to deliver the eanniversary ora
uon in June, and that the Due West Fe.
male College has asked Mr.. Andrew Carnegie
to perform q similar service In that institu
ton.
Erskine Is the pioneer UNCONVENTIONAL col
lege in this State, having been organized IN
1910.
The Due West Female College In like man.
ner has led the Statein the education of her
women. 1t was founded by DR.. Bonner before
the war, and its exercises have been con.
tinued without interruption ever since.
These colleges at Due West stand high In
educational circles of South Carolina, and
have done an incalculable good In training
the minds and hearts Of their pupils. Their
good work is not limited TO State lines or 10
Southern territory. There is perhaps not q
State in the Union where their graduates
have not gone to WELD an influence for good.
1t is hoped that the distinguished orators
may see their way clear to come to the
Athens of South Carolina. where young men
for sixty years have been trained In letters
science and morals, and where our young la.
dies for nearly half a century have been
taught the womanly graces. which lend q
charm and give an Irresistible loveliness to
female beauty.
South Carolina would honor these distin'
guished gentlemen, and our people join IN
the invitation for them to come.

what Cotton MIL Can Beat Glover ?

The operatives OF the Glover cotton mill
believe in plenty OF meat. Most OF them
keep hogs and 30 far. this winter, there has
been q sufficient number slaughtered on
factory hill to yield 9l88 pounds OF meat, net
These weights have been verified for us by
Mr.. 8. ]. Harvey, who did the Weighing and
kept account Of them. Glover is fortunate IN
having q class Of operatives who are hard to
excel In many ways. We are almost willing
higher there than any other In the county
We know that this paper has more readers
at the Glover mill than at any other In the
county and we expect that there Is at least
one other paper that can say the same thing
The condition is q fair index OF intelligence
As rule, too, where you find man with sur
ficient interest In life to pay for one or more
OF the county papers, you ind good citiZen
-Yorkville Yeoman.
When the warm weather comes the pro-
liability is that the Glover MIL people will
suffer from typhoid fever as result OF the
hog pens. Hog pens in any town are a
menace TO the health ofthe citizens.
The number ofreaders of the Yeoman mus,
be matter OF pride to the editor, and 1t is
not unreasonable that he should estimate
their intelligence by the number of subscri-
bers to his paper, but we shouldsit like to see
the Intelligence of all mill towns estimated
by the number of local papers that they read.
The Glover Mill, we believe, is distinguish
ed above many mills in the size OF Its divi-
dends, or earnings, but 1t had better look
after the pig pens, If doesn't want to bury its
operatives.

A Self. Respecting Legislature.

The public, we believe, has been very much
mistaken as TO the character Of the members
of the Legislature now sitting in Columbia.
Judging from the utterances which have
appeared in the newspapers it would seem
that they thought the members OF the Legis-
lature were deficient not only in selfrespect
but were lacking in common sense.
For several years past it has been eusto'
mary for gentlemen, and sometimes ladies',
who had not been chosen to represent the
people, to have pretended, or assumed, to tell
the members how to vote, to say nothing OF
the implied insult. Such act Of course was
based Oh the assumption that the members
were ignorant or were weak creatures who
lacked the courage of their con vlctions.
The indulgence OF the members In bearing
with such people, followed by the dig
nifed way in which they have exercised
their own convictions must COM
mand the respect OF their constituents.
1t is perhaps true that members Of no General
Assembly have treated intermeddlers and
Smart Alexis with more contempt and less
consideration than has been paid to those
who have sought to exercise over them con-
trolling influence in the discharge Of their
duty to the public.
When we have self-respecting Legislators,
as we have at present, the public may rest as
sured OF faithful service, but when we shall
send to our General Assembly a lot OF ninnies
and nincompoops. who are ready to acknowl-
edge their ability to discharge the trust i'm.
posed in them, busy bodies and selfconsti-
tuted guardians OF the public may assume
control.
All honor to this Legislature.

The Difference.

1t Is considered first class Democratic prin.
oiples to subsidize the fast mail trains over
the Southern railroads, and we have heard no
real good Democ who was shocked at the
proposition. AS far as we know. they all
voted to subsidize the railroads, but when a
proposition is made to subsidize ships OF the
sea. 1t nearly kills father, and knocks Demo.
Gratis silly.
We long to see the time in this country
when man may entertain his own opinions
and speak his own convictions. This news.
paper knows not what may be behind the
scenes. but the bare proposition to increase
our shipping, 1t seems to us, ought to meet
With public favor. II the country is benefit
ted, what care we II individuals should be
benefited? There may be great iniquity In
the proposed ship subsidy bill. II so, change
1t, AID make law that is fair and just and
which will bring about the desired result.

Broad Minded Newspaper.
The Charleston News and Courier says: :

The Charleston News and courier says:
"Ifwe do not mistake the temper OF the peo-
pie and OF the broad. minded newspapers ol
the State the day has passed when the manu-.
facture OF opinion against Charleston will be
OF any political benefit TO those who 60 Into
that business for any reason"
The proposition is good one, and we would
suggest that the News and Courier set the
example In refraining from manufacturing
public sentiment against Charleston. Ifthat
paper will manifest love for It's own city
while keeping from nagging others, that
paper will have no cause OF complaint against
the country press.
IF this newspaper must track after anybody
TO be called broad-minded, then our case is
hopeless. We shall ever be narrow.minded
and do our own thinking.
AS matter OF fact South CAROLINA needs a
newspaper which has friends. and which
newspaper may therefore have Influence
when a good cause presents itself, and we
would like tosee the News and Courier more
in accord with the brethren.
Speaking for this newspaper, and stating
facts as they existed, we were very friendly to
the exposition, and had not made up our
mind as to the appropriation, when foolish
and discourteous attack was made upon the
Bamberg Herald because of its position in the
matter.

Senator McLaurjn.

Some of the newspapers have recently read
Mr.. McLaurin out OF the Democratic party
again. They have been doing the same thing
for year or two. No vote of his seems 10
please his friends, the enemy. OF course we
could not tell the result of an election, even
If Mr.. McLauren stands for reelection. But
at this writing we expect the Press and Ban
ner TO stand by him, whatever that may be.
This country may not vote for man who
does his duty in Washington, but If the ques'
tion is on holding the Philippines, we have
little doubt as TO the result. Some Of those
who may have longing eye on his seat in
the Senate may have a rough and stumpy
road to travel, If they beat him to 1t.

The Election for Sheriff.

Up to the hour when we went 10 press last
week 1t was impossible for us TO get full cleo
ton returns. The correct figures are given
now. From that table 1t will be seen that
Mr.. Lyon ran ahead and that Mr.. Martin and
MIR. Jones received the same number OF votes
This makes 1t necessary for three of the can.
didates to make the second race. AS no one
will likely get majority of the whole vote
next Tuesday. a third election seems prob
able.

The Subject Being widows.

While we think that the greatest liberality
or generosity should be extended to the needy
soldiers In the Confederate army, we think
some understanding should be had as to their
widows. If a man went into the war leaving
a wife at home, and she is widow now 10
needy circumstances she certainly should be
cared for. But II Confederate soldier mar
ried lately or any time since the war, is that
widow entitled to a pension? We believe the
law is not clear on this point. II 1t is not,
then there should be expression. If she is
entitled to II, she ought to have 1t.
