A man may be fairly judged by the
company he chooses. In his business
dealings aid in public places he may
be thrown sometimes with those he
most detests, and whose presence he
abhors. But when a man of his own
motion invites another man to his
home and to his table, his ideas OF
social lie and the proprieties due to
himself. his family and his position,
may be fairly, intelligently and i'm
partially judged by that. So when
Theodore Roosevelt invited Boolser T..
Washington, colorod, to dine with him,
he said TO the world by that act,
consider this man my friend and social
equal. And we shall not gainsay Mr..
Roosevelts estimate of himself. He
has said that he considers himself nc
better than.a negro, and we are will
ing to let it go at that.

Friday was the tenth anniversary
of one of the saddest days in Column
bias history. On the 18th day of
October, 1891, many citizens of the
town and county found themselves
financially crippled, some of them
ruined, by reason of the breaking of
the Columbia Banking Company and
the Bank of Columbia. About year
afterwards another banking institution
the Second National-closed its doors,
and for a time this fair little city
seemed almost engulfed in wave Of
financial distress. But the people of
grand old Muary county and plucky
little Columbia proved that they were
not of the kind to give up. The mis-
fortune that had befallen them only
inspired them to stronger purpose and
more heroic effort, and the prosperity
that abounds in the city to-day shows
with what success their efforts were
met. Columbia may we'll be proud
of the banks and other business houses
and enterprises that adorn the city
now. and of the undaunted energy and
enterprise of the men who erected
them.

THIRTEEN PERSONS HURT
In a Grand Rush IN Louisville
Theatre.

Louisville, KY, Oct. %. Hundreds
Of people attempted TO rush out of the
Temple Theater this afternoon because
the cry of fire was raised when a little
fame was seen about the polyscope ma
chine.
In the scramble scores of people were
knocked down and thirteen injured,
three seriously. OF the latter one may
die. A number of other persons were
bruised or cut but their injuries were
slight.
1t was about 3 80 O'Clock. just after
the first act of Tennessee s Pardner, y
and while the polyscope was being
got ready that the little fash of flame
came that caused the panic. Many
women and children who composed
the audience made rush for the door.
The panic seized the gallery and in 9
moment the occupants were plungine
down the stairway in heap, or wer,
taking the swifter method of climbing
down into the auditorium proper. Ii
their haste many fell, landing on thos,
beneath. Several were hurt in this
way.
The great crush occurred where tn,
steps come down from the gallery.
Here the two crowds met and were
packed in a space not large enough fo,
half of them, and all were struggling
to reach the street. The doors wers
soon knocked down aud trampled under
foot. Women tainted.
AS soon as the rush was over the
care of the injured began. A big room
was converted into a temporary hos
pital. Every patrol wagon and ambu
lance in the city was soon engaged il
hauling the more seriously wounded
to the hospital and to their homes.

We do not wish to get up any un-
friendly discussion or any unseemly
wrangle but it is fair question and
the public is entitled to an answer :
Why is the Yoest ticket in the fieldY
Several of the nominees say they did
not want to run, but were persuaded
TO. Who persuaded them, and whyH
They say they are not the whiskey
men ticket Whose ticket are they :
They say they are for fair and impair
tial laws regulating the whiskey traffic.
Do they mean that the present laws
are unfair and partiala And is it
their purpose to repeal these lawss If
they are not being run by and for and
in the interest of the whiskey traffic.
and for the purpose of repeating the
$3.50 O'Clock law, they can say so
in plain words, and announce at the
same time who their sponsors are and
what their purpose. We say to them
candidly-not meaning to be offensive
but simply candid-that they are re-
garded and commonly designated by
the public generally, as "the whiskey
ticket " If it is not so, they owe it
to themselves to set themselves right
before the public. OF course we ex-
pect to discuss this subject to greater
or less degree these next few weeks,
and as we wish to state nothing but
the truth, we are anxious in the very
beginning to get the facts before us.
We are told that the leading liquor
dealers brought out this ticket. We
are told that the whiskey crowd al
most to man, is supporting this
ticket. We are told that their purpose
is to repeal the s 80 O'Clock closing
law. Are these reports true, or are
they false, gentlemen? Answer fol
yourselves.
