They Spoke Too Quick.

1t may be that some Of the Echos spoke too
quick in denouncing McLaurin. 1t seems that
he has done much Tor Charleston's show,
which has big name. Charleston has al
ways said 1t was State enterprise. Well,
now, II Charleston be under obligation TO Nc
Laurin for helping a State enterprise, what
about the people in other localities? II 1t is a
State enterprise, as Charleston claims 1t TO
be, 1t seems that all South Carolinians owe
him debt Of gratitude. At any rate we do
not see how any friend Of a State enterprise
can 60 back on the man who has done most
for 1t. Gratitude. We know, is a short lived
virtue, but there is a principle, which should
be as lasting as the hills. We should be true
TO our friends. No man can consistently be
an enemy to his benefactor.
A suggestion TO friends OF the Charleston
Exposition. Don't everlastingly harp on the
failure to get the government appropriation
Go right straight along. Let us hear no more
Of failure. Let failure stand aside for progress
There are thousands who will help those v he
help themselves, while few are willing 10
help those who cry over split milk.

John G. Capers.

The appointment Of John G. Capers as
United States District Attorney for South
Carolina has caused q stir In the household
of those who may feel competent to rule their
own faction while debating the course which
those whom they oppose must pursue.
The expansion OF this country is good
Democratic doctrine, or has been so regarded
for q hundred years.
The ratification OF the treaty Of peace was
merely the accepting Of the practical results
OF the Spanish war.
The holding Of Cuba was such Democratic
doctrine that the party in 1854 offered Spain
900 for the island
The proposition now to allow the island TO
have unrestricted freedom would be contrary
to the welfare Of the people Of the island who
would be fighting among themselves in lit
tie while.
It would little less than treason to this
country to leave the island a derelict to fall
into the hands OF foreign powers, where forts
might be maintained to the menace OF this
country, and leave the possibility OF bloody
war to result in an effort to regain what some
people now desire to throw away.
We contend that the true Democracy will
maintain the integrity OF the government
and yield nothing.
The idea that Senator McLaurin or anybody
else will underke TO "organize respectable
Republican parry in South Carolina" Is not
to be entertained. The principles which Nc.
Laurin has esposed are the orthotho1 Demo-
cratic principles, and he will not desert the
party. He would be powerless II he did so.
Ifhe continues, as we have no doubt he will
do, he will control the Democratic party In
South Carolina. The idea that he will do
what his enemies wish him to do is not to be
seriously considered.
The principles being Democratic he would
be foolish to renounce his Democratic follow
ing. AS far as We are informed the principles
which he has announced are not offensive to
the Democrats OF this County, but nobody
will quit the Democratic party to follow him
ON q wild goose chase. He has more sense
than to enter trap which his enemies set
for him.

Why Give Franchises?

There are some things which we do not
knoH, and one Of them is, the reason for cities
granting exclusive privileges to persons or
corporations for doing any kind of business.
For instance: Why should town give ex-
elusive privileges for running street railways,
electric plants, or water works? II there Is
advantage In preventing competition In those
lines why not give exclusive privilege to
lucky persons to run blacksmith shops, stores,
printing offices, law-offices and hotels? If II
Ia we'll to limit the number Of railroads, cleo
trlc plants and water plants, why not issue
exclusive privileges to run oil mills, cotton
mills and banks.
In this we have no personal reference or OBJ
lection to the very worthy gentlemen who
own franchises in Abbevile. We are only
speaking of the prevailing habit Of giving ex
elusive privileges for certain lines OF business
and allowing other lines OF business TO meet
competition as they may.
Would 1t not be as reasonable to say that
newspaper in any city should not be bothered
with competition, or to say that other lines OF
business shall have monopoly7
II company desired to build cotton mill
In Abbeville, would that company be granted
a monopoly. or would 1t be forced to accept
competition, If 1t come along?
A new jeweler is said to be coming to Abbe-
VILE If he has applied for the exclusive right
to do busin ess in his line we have not heard
Of II.

Stirring up the Town.

Our able contemporary, the Nevberry
Herald and News, is beating tomtoms and
calling upon the people to unite in an effort
to build additional Industries. He thinks
patriotic citizens should rush pell-mell over
each other to subscribe to the capital stock
of another cotton mill. We do not at all take
issue with our brother on this matter, but we
would, II We could, help him along.
There is sufficient capital in Newberry
to build another mill, and there Is little
doubt that such another mill will sooner or
later be built in Newberry. When the enter.
prise is undertaken the people should CO.
operate, or unite in the effort. Every citingen
will no doubt subscribe as many shares as he
is able.
When AbbeYille built her cotton mill many
citizens cheerfully subscribed literally to the
capital stock. Very few, II any, persons then
thought OF the offices, but later, when there
was talk OF building another mill. nearly
every body wanted to be president and nearly
Z o body wanted to contribute money to the
capital stock.

Men of Wonderful Patience.

Last week Mr.W. 3. Smith Whaley. arch1
tect and builder, gave banquet In Columbia
to which a great number of Northern mil
men had been invited. Accounts OF the meet
ing, as published, suggest the idea Of mass
meeting of the mutual admiration society
which entertained its guests by blowing
about Columbia's greatness and what Colum
bia had done with other peoples money, Win
out saying to whom they were Indebted io'
the cash.
What Columbians and other bome-folKt
said filled several columns Of small type
while few inches in q single column, EN-
braced all that the visitors said.
From the speeches which were delivered nc
one would infer that the guests, the silent
gentlemen, and their friends had done any
thing, when, as a matter of fact, 1t Is fair to
presume that they furnished nine-tenths o
the money which had done the great things
of which Columbia had boasted, and OF which
they had heard so much.
Northern mill men, however, are patient
and indulgent men, but wedo not understand
how they stood to be bored with "Big rs" un'
til two O'Clock in the morning.
They are. however, agreeable men and love
LO Say ART6cdplC SS~"
they always speak pleasant things to people
who build mills and they never fail to hno
something at mill OF which they can SPEAK
In the highest terms.
Their reported remarks to people IN Colum
bia were OF the most agreeable kind. what
they said to each other. after they got to them
selves, has not been reported.
Think OF business. men, who are practical.
and methodical in their ways, being held up
for hours, where as fast as one speaker ex-
hausted himself. or gave out. another prompt
ly took his place. and told these. strangers OF
our greatness.
Weknow that they appreciated tbe effort
on the part OF the Columbians to be agreeable
but If they were not fatigued or wearied with
so much speaking and selfpraise, they were
different set from those which Abbeville tried
to entertain. Vehicles were secured, when II
was proposed-after the business meeting had
adjourned at the mill-to take the visitors
driving around the town. They had not gone
far, and we had not told them half OF the
glorious history Of the town, when they be-
gan to inquire if this was the nearest way to
the depot.
AS a whole. the great banquestspeaking
must have been-from the Northerner's stand
polnt-a most ludicrous affair.
