Now that the state convention has
required all candidates to think alike
on public questions. the voters will be
limited in their discrimination purely
to the choice between men. While as
a matter Of policy, the convention was
wise in not imposing the same pledge
on voters, as a matter of principle
such a step would have been thorough
ly consistent. The final event, how
ever, of such action, was no doubt OBJ
vious to the originators of the new de-
parture referred TO. Although voter
of convictions can, on purely personal
grounds, consistently exercise choice
between candidates who are pledged
not to harbor convictions, that such a
voter would hardly go so far as to sur
render his convictions for such a
doubtful privilege is obvious.

operatives Of the Horse Creek Valley
sent a delegation to the leaders Of the
King mill strike, few days ago, and
asked for a conference looking to an
adjustment of existing difficulties
The strike leaders treated this dele
CATION discourteously, advising them
that their interference was considered
as unwarranted impudence. At this
the Horse Creek delegation went back
home and made a report which result
ed in a proposition from the Horse
Creek operatives, to the King mil
people, looking to the resumption OF
operations with South Carolina labor
When the King mill started up Thurs
day, it lacked the requisite number OF
hands to warrant its operation at full
capacity; but the understanding Is
that the South Carolina operatives
have guaranteed to fill out the short
age, and that the other Augusta and
Horse Creek mills will at once resume
operation again, thus restoring EN-
ployment to all the operatives who
wish to work.

Buzzard's Bay special to the WASH
lngton Post: Ex-President Grover
Cleveland has decided to spend the en-
tire summer here on Monument Beach,
and the superintendent Of his estate,
Bradford Wright, has been given carte
blanche to put the place in order for
the entertainment of many guests. Mr..
Cleveland has become owner by proxy
Of vast tract of oyster beds and has
obtained a monopoly Of the fishing
rights in the waters surrounding his
home. These were bought up from the
town Of Bourne by his superintendent
and include the best. part Of the water
front. Mr.. Cleveland has bought addi-
tional land and leased other tracts un-
til now he controls enough property to
secure absolute isolation and exclu-
siveness. Many other improvements
have been effected and two steam
launches ordered. Indications are that
Gray Gables will be the scene of much
more entertainment than usual this
summer.

WHILE we do not think there Is
much doubt as to the desirability OF
abolishing child labor in cotton mills
we cannot get rid of the idea that good
democracy demands discussion before
the people and the right of those most
interested to settle the matter in ac-
cordance with the desires of the major
ity. AS presented by the state conven-
ton the other day, the question is
not an issue at all. 1t comes down as
a peremptory order. Candidates fol
the legislature are required to pledge
themselves to the abolition Of child
labor, as a prerequisite to being allow.
ed to ask for the suffrages of the
white voters. There can be no discus.
sion Even the principle of self-gov-
ernment is ignored, and precedent is
established for future orders of the
same kind.

Ashes From Mont Pelee.
Charleston Post: The British steam
ship Coya, Captain Thomas, arrived
in port on Saturday afternoon from
Inuique, with a cargo of saltpeter 10
order. The Coya was some days over
due and it was feared that she was
among the vessels destroyed by the fall
of lava and volcanic matter from Mont
Pelee, in Martinique. The Coya was
covered thickly with ashes on May 3,
at distance of $50 miles from the vol
cano; but she suffered no damage.
/ ne fall of ashes continued for several
days and was so heavy that the ves-
sci could make but little progress, and
her delay in reaching Charleston was
due to this cause. The eruption was
in evidence from the deck Of the YES
sci and Captain Thomas, knowing the
danger, was careful to give st. Pierre
and the affected area of Martinique
as wide a berth as possible. Captain
Thomas collected and saved a good
deal of the ashes which fell on the deck
Of the vessel.
From Bethune to Kershaw.
Kershaw special of May 20 to the
Columbia State: A representative of
the Seaboard Air Line railroad has
been in Kershaw for a few days look
| ing over the country and consulting
with Kershaw's bankers, leading busi-
ness men and most influential citizens
with the view to building a branch
road from Bethune, Kershaw coun-
| ty, by way Of Halle Gold mine to
Kershaw. The people here, as well as
the business men, are delighted to
know that it is almost an assured fact
that the road will be built at an early
date. The new road will be a great
benefit to Halle Gold, mine as they are
now three miles from the South Car
olina and Georgia Extension that runs
through this place, and their freight
alone is quite an item to haul that dis
tance. A branch opened up by the S.
A. L. people would give Kershaw a
more direct line to the north and east
and would divide the passenger and
freight business that is now handled
exclusively by the South Carolina and
Georgia Extension. If it did not get
the entire business Of this place 1t
would get the bulk of it as our business
men are wide awake to the situation
and are showing their enthusiasm at
the prospect Of having connection with
the Seaboard and will continue to do
as they are now doing, namely, exert
ing themselves to help push the pro-
ject to completion in order to have a
competing line with the Southern. The
town expects to have its waterworks
in by September 1st.

THE abolition of child labor in the
cotton mills will send many families
back to the farms to again becomes
slaves to the lien law. 1t was because
these families considered cotton mil
conditions more tolerable than lier
law conditions, that they went from
the farms to the mills. 1t is difficult
to say which condition is really better;
but the majority of those most inter-
ested seem by their acts, to have given
their preference to conditions at the
mills. If it is really desired to bene-
fit these people. maybe it would be a
good idea to devote as much attention
to the amelioration of farm conditions
as is sought to be devoted to cotton
mill conditions. At any rate, fair
minded people would like the flavor of
the whole proposition much better If
it should ne made clear that the real
object in view is Improvement in the
conditions of labor rather than the
embarrassment of capital.

UNTOLD WEALTH"
Now Being Seized in California by
Dummy Locators.

San Francisco, Sept. 17-state Minerol-
ogist Aubury makes the astonishing state
r:aent that during the last few months at
= asst 100000 acres of public land in the
mineralized sections Of California, and
largely smineralized in nature, have been
grabbed by eastern spectators through
the employment of dummy locators In
the tracts thus secured are included many
actual mineral claims on which California
miners have located and have prepared to
do the assessment work necessary to per-
feet title under the United States mining
laws. .. '-..
The. spectators, he says, are not even
timber men,, They have seen that there
is great future for mining and that the
surface of California, having hardly been
scratched over for gold and other metals,
there are untold millions Of dollars await
Ing the owners Of these lands in the flu
ture. Mr.. Aubury, therefore, advocates
having the public domain all withheld
from timber entry in this state until there
can be an inspection to determine how
the lands should be properly classified,
whether as timber, mineral or agricultu
raj, and he will move in that direction.

Chicago. Sept. 17.--Ways and means to
prevent the railways from discriminating

BORON MAY BE USED ~~

Commissioner Yerkes decides that a small

Even renovated butter as now gen.

chemicals, so that if borax or other pre-

of preservative used indicating beyond
question that fact, it's sole use being for

changes in butter, it is held that the prod.

OUGHT NOT TO LIVE
How the Porto Rican Regards His
Fellow Man of Another Po-
litical Party.
Abnormally Developed Feeling Of
Intolerance Causes Donnybrook
Fair Times.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
San Juan, Porto Rico, Sept. 10.-On Nov.
4 will be held an election covering the en-
tire island at which time a resident com
missioner to the United States, five dele
gates from each legislative district
mayor for each municipal district, one
municipal judge, three. school trustees
and members of the council will be
chosen. In San Juan two municipal Judges
and two substitutes will be voted for.
While the campaign has not fully
opened vet the first few meetings have
been theatrical, The Porto Rican is a
good citizen. He generally minds his own
business and believes in the adage: Live
and let live'-until it comes to politics.
Then there are no half way measures. II
you are on the opposite side. Whatever
that may be, your opponent considers that
you are not entitled to live and that you
have lost all claim to responsibility be-
cause you do not believe as he does This
being the case with one faction and the
other it will be readily seen that when
Greek meets Greek, there Is bound to be
results of the Donnybrook species ..-.
Thus far few meetings have been held
which have not ended with few broken
heads, and the grave charge, has been
made that the police were not the least
active. 49,. ii
To-day in Porto Rico, there are, strict
ly speaking two parties; the republican
Federation. Another party has sprung up
in the past few weeks which styles itself
unionist. It's platform Is Utopian to such
an extent that it is not being considered
seriously by the other two.
Two years ago the federals, cast no votes
at ALL claiming that it would be useless to
go to the polls, as the republicans would
count them out. The federals are going
to the polls this yeaG and are going to see
that their votes are counted as cast. In
this determination they have the 1ndorse-
ment of the governor, who has declared
that a fair election must be held, what
ever the result
Most of the trouble occurs In interior
towns, where the people have little else
to do except to dabble in politics, and so
everybody is q politician. The recent dis
turbances at Humacan, Cage and Juncos
were only the result of abnormally devel
oped feeling of intolerance.
In CERTAIN districts the police have open
ly prosecuted for one side or the other I'M
til brought severely to task by the higher
officials, and Acting Governor Martzell
and Chief Techter have struck an hap
py plan In republican strongholds police
men with federal leanings will be detailed
and those with republican sympathies will
patrol the federal towns.
1t is difficult to forecast the result at
this time, as nominations have not even
been made, but that the federals will car
ry number Of districts and make very
good showing in the house Of delegates is
conceded by those who are in a position
