the third the second floor. They con.
template very pretty building Of stone

There are to be two large class rooms

rooms there are two cloak rooms. Up
stairs there will be two additional class
rooms, library and an auditorium

auditorium will be so arranged that II

successful bidders will reduce these
figures. Mr.. Keller arranged yesterday

THE recent organization Of all the
steel manufacturing interests of the
country into one gigantic trust, brings
up another problem that will some day
prove interesting. When there We're a
hundred steel making concerns in the
country, there were numerous different
labor organizations, each pursuing a
policy that was Influenced, to a
greater or less extent, by special con-
ditions. The consolidation Of the mills
will bring about the consolidation Of
the labor organizations, and it is rea-
sonable to assume that there will be
times when the head of the consolida-
ted labor organizations will be as big
a man as the head Of the consolidated
steel companies.

IF one cares to undertake reaSOna-
bly, comprehensive analysis Of such
circumstances as are known, or are tc
be logically inferred, there does not
appear to be a great deal of mystery
about the tremendous influence of the
United States in the Chinese negotia-
tions. 1t is not difficult to see why the
car should be so differential to the
wishes of the president. Notwith-
standing the fact that we have with
drawn our troops from Pekin and left
it to the other powers to run into dan
ger Of having collisions with each 9TH
er, it is quite easy to see why there Is
no effort on the part Of these other
powers to rob us of rights that belong
as much to us as to them. Had this
Chinese trouble developed three years
ago, we would not have been in it, ex-
cept indirectly; but the probability Is
that our position would have been
made much worse than it is. Very
likely we would have had to depend
upon Great Britain to look after our
interests. Would she have done It:
Why it would have been the prettiest
snap in the world for her. She does
not like Russia even little; but she is
afraid of Russia. The United States
is the only single nation Of the earth
that is not afraid Of Russia. AS the
representative of the United States
wouldn't England have been fixed:
She would have so managed things as
to have had her own way from start
to finish. AS our agent she could have
made us responsible for such steps as
she saw fit to take even in her own in
terest. She would have come out
beautifully. After it was all over 1t
would have been found that she was
paramount in China, and we would be
in debt to her not only to the extent
of everlasting gratitude; but for more
dollars than she got from China on ac-
count Of damages to American citi-
zens. If she had found it necessary to
do some fighting, the circumstances
would have made us her ally, and we
would have had to furnish no end OF
men and money. But it has not turn
ed out that way and it is not going to
turn out that way. For the wherefore
many reasons could be assigned; but
as we see it the whole secret lies in our
army and navy in the Philippines. We
have no troops in China now; but just
as it did not take long to get them
there when they were needed, it would
not take long to get them back there
should they be needed again. All OF
the powers understand this, and this is
the principal reason for the Difference
which all the powers have been SHOW
ing us. Had it not been for our posi-
ton in the Philippines, it is very like
ly that there would be world war 60
ing on along about now; but as mat
ters stand there is reason to hope that
nothing of the kind will take place for
sometime to come.

WHEN Mckinley appoints Negro Re-
publicans to public office, they are
sometimes lynched, as in the case OF
the Lake City affair; and when he ap-
points white Democrats, the newspa-
pers kick vigorously, although they did
manage to behave themselves reason
ably we'll with regard to the census ap-
pointments that were made last year.
1t should not be forgotten that all Of
those appointments came from a Re-
publican administration, through Sena-
tors Tillman and McLaurin, and that
leading Republicans were also consult
ed. Most Of the quarreling we heard of
in this state was between Democrats as
to which should get the plums.

IF Senator Tillman desires to be OF
real service to the people of South
Carolina, he will point out for them
such errors as he will be able to find
in Senator McLaurin's speech. There
is no need of vitriol, slime or slander
These things do not bring information
or elevation. 1t is the truth that the
people need-not prejudice. There
are some who are willing to take Sen
ator Tillman's say-so without ques-
ton; but most people who think. want
intelligent reasons for their actions.

OPINIONS DIFFER.-The Newberry OBJ
server thinks that McLaurin will be
beaten, but will get very good vote,
and goes on to say: "He will be beaten
not because of his course in the senate;
but because the dominant element
wants his job for another man who
will be more subservient to the
plans and schemes of said element. "
Wait and see, contemporary: wait

that the dominant element" has here
