AJAIL NEEDED.

The building of new jail is a
crying necessity in this county,
humanity demands it, and as a
matter Of precaution againstpos-
sible damage suits, it should be
built. To build a jail and run the
county in debt, and thereby in
crease taxation, does not require
much business tact, but to build
without increasing the levy will
require calculation. In our opin-
ion a jail can be built without in
creasing the present county levy,
because with less taxable prop
erty than we have now, thellevy
was reduced from 5 mills to 3
mills, a debt of about $4,000 was
paid off, and the county was re-
lieved from any past indebted
ness. We believe, with our
present taxable property the
county can be run safely on a
levy Of q mills, this would re-
duce the county levy ! mill, and
that ! mill could be applied to
jail building. # the commits
sioners will issue four-per cent
ten year bonds; and apply the
3mill each year towards paying
off the bonds as they become
due, in our judgment it would
easily build the jail, and not in
crease our present levy one cent.
To go to work and by taxation
raise enough money to build the
jail, the taxes would necessarily
have to be raised, and it would
be very burdensome upon our
taxpayers; we believe, our
people would much rather be
permitted to pay for this neces-
sity by degrees. This plan has
been adopted elsewhere and it
succeeded, we therefore see no
reason why it should not sue
ceed here. Taxation at best is
burdensome. and in those town
ships where special school dis
tricts, exists, to add on more
taxes will be hard to bear; there
are number Of townships pay
ing now Is mills, that amounts to
u per cent, and to add town taxes,
insurance on property, and other
expenses, and it will run up to
about i per cent; such a con-
dition will tend towards discour-
aging the upbuilding of proper
ty and it will act as an obstruc.

The only State in the Union
l.

The only State in the Union
outside of the South that has a
Democratic governor, is the little
State of Rhode Island. There
must be a cause for this condl-
ton. In our Judgment, the
cause is attributable to the un-
stable theories of our party
leaders. Instead of appealing
to business reason, they go
about antagonizing business IN
terests and infaming prejudice.
There are many thousand Dem
ocrats in every Northern State,
but many of these will not sub
scribe, nor stand for the com
munistic spirit Of those men
who now pose as leaders. The
consequence is, they either do
not vote, or go with the other
side.

Congress is now in session,
and it begins to look like the
Crumpacker gang is going to get
Congress to take some action
looking towards cutting down
the South's representation in
Congress. So far as we are con
cerned, we have no objection,
and think perhaps it will be for
the best, because then, there will
be no excuse left for nigger-in-
the-wood- -pile.argument. If our
representation in Congress is
cut down, the only people eff
fected will be the men holding
the positions, but so far as the
people at large are concerned it
will make no difference. Let
them cut down our representa-
ton if they want to, we do not
care whether we have seven men
drawing $4,000 a year or five, as
long as our State affairs are not
mo1ested.

President Roosevelt has given

President Roosevelt has given
it out that he will not appoint
Doctor Crum to the office of
Collector of the Port of Charles
ton, not because Crum is a color
ed man, but because of charges
of infdelity lodged against him.
In our opinion the newspapers
are making a mountain out of a
mole-hill in this matter, and If
they continue with their rantings
they will accomplish more harm
than good. Crum, on account
of his color may be distasteful,
but continually jabbingth presl-
dent may result in some other
colored man being appointed:
The President proposes to fill
that office with a competent man,
regardless of color or previous
condition of servitude, and the
newspapers might as well let
him alone.

INDEPENDENCE.

Now that those VINO were as
piring to political preferment
have become settled down, and
agitation has ceased, it gives the
tie people time to consider calm.
fy the problems they were called
upon to arbitrate and solve.
We can now, without fear of be-
ingcharged with selfshness and
impure motives take up the vari-
Gus matters that were being dis
cussed and treat them upon their
merits. For the first time since
the war between the States did
the people of this State have
an opportunity to hear questions
of national Importance, and it
was but natural, that the politi-
cal leaders had much, in fact,
almost sole influence in shaping
our opinions. We were unac-
quainted with national questions,
and most Of US we're content to
abide by the judgement Of those
in power. viii this always be?
We think not, for as these mat
tiers become known, the people
can be trusted to have settled
convictions and the day is not
far distant when the indepen-
dent thought will force indepen
dent action.
We are a thoroughly united
people, when it comes to white
Supremacy, and our body poll
tics is so well constituted and
constructed that there is not the
slightest danger of impairing
white supremacy; our laws have
practically turn the State gov
ernment over to the white man
and the negro has become con-
tented with it. The questions
then are, how long will it be be-
fore men can consider political
questions upon their merits?
Are the people willing to remain
party slaves? We hope to see
the day in this State when ques-
tons of national moment can be
considered from a practical busi-
ness stand point rather than
from a strictly party view. Just
so long as we permit party lea
ders to dictate our course just
so long will we be told to do as
they say, and not as we think
ourselves. The Democratic par
ty today is like a ship without
a rudder. Why? Because it
has allowed itself to become
boss-ridden, and the bosses can
not agree and have no fixed pol
icy; the result is, business men
have lost confidence, and those
party men who are sincere have
lost prestige; our conditions can
never be bettered until the peo-
pie begin investigating for them
selves, they must keep posted
anc. abreast of the times. When
the people shall have studied the
various political questions, and
make demands as do the people
elsewhere, there will be more
independence, and the time-serv-
ing politician will be a thing OF
the past. Men will be called
forward to make our laws who
have the country's interest at
heart, and who will serve the
people instead Of themselves.
