He was invited to address, a school, and
To the school children was the larger
part of his admirable address made.
The speaker began with telling his au-
dience that he was not going 10 speak
of education generally, the subject
could not be treated in the time he
would have to speak. His remarks
were so constructed, and his sentences
simpli6ed that he reached the mind OF
the Youngest of the scholars and made
an impression which will be lasting.
The address began with character
building" ideas caught from the essay
read by Miss Harriet Harvin. and in
language choice and eloquent he show
ed what was required, and how 1t
should be maintained. He showed: by
artfully quoting from other sources
how from little beginnings great
things result. and laid particular stress
upon the importance Of whatever IS
attempted to be done should be done
well, and the necessity for being
prompt. ''health may be repaired.

character, and although the speaker
claimed in the outset he would not
speak OF education generally. it was in
deed an educational speech full OF val

from sacred and profane history. and a
remarkable display of choice literature

cone by Major Noise. The audience
was impressed with the speakers grace
and simplicity of making his illustra-
tions. To fasten upon the mind OF his
hearers some point, he would reach
over and hold up a flower, another
time he referred to some historical fact
known to all and from it would point
out circumstance to impress the
thought, next he would drive home an
idea by beautifully reciting a poem. all
these things he would do in manner
that held his large audience in wrapt
attention. The usual custom for such
occasions is to treat some subject that
only students are qualified TO under
stand, but this address had more prac-
tical knowledge and information for
the children and the audience generally
than dozen treatise on abstrct sub
jects.

1t sometimes happens that we are
called upon to make an announcment
which is accompanied with regret, and
this is the case when we state that
Manning is about to lose one OF her best
citizens. Mr.. W. G. Chandler, for many
wears resident of this town. has ef-
fected an arrangement by which he
thinks he will improve his financial
prospects by going into larger field.
He has therefore decided to move to
Sumter to become member OF the
Whilden Furniture Company. Mr..
Chandler has made q success OF the
furniture business here, and his meth
DDS have always been characterized
with traightforwardness. He IS an
honest man. AS a citizen he always
identified himself with what he believed
for the good of the town, plain spoken
and earnest, in short he is a citizen we
do not like to part with, but he cannot
afford to permit his pleasant assocla-
tions here, stand in the way OF his D.
nancial betterment elsewhere. Mr..
Chandler has served this town in coun-
ell and frequently acted 1ntendant. He
is q strong church worker, and devoted
to his church, q strong advocate OF edu-
cation and in fact ne can always be de-
pended upon to take pull at anything
looking to the welfare of the communi-
~. In parting with such a citizen we
can safely say that our loss of him is
Sumter's gain, and that we wish him
abundant prosperity in his new Ven
uure, ,and give him and his, an invitation
TO come back, for come they will, If
for nothing else. to get drink Of Man
ning's artesian water.

railway loses heavily through the
blocking OF its track.
Many are inclined to the belief that
the huge mountain slide was caused
by an earthquake or subterranean ex-
ploslon of gas. A theory advanced by
many mining men is that the lime
stone cliff had been undermined by
some subterranean branch of the Old
Man river. The general opinion is that
the trouble was not volcanic.
The shock resulting from the pre-
cipltation of the millions of tons of
rock into the valley, while actually de
molishing only a few of the houses,
so shook the foundations of the ma
jority of dwellings in the town that
they are unsafe to live in. The rail-
road track for two miles or more east
of the station was covered with from
ten to forty feet of rock, and the tel
esraph wires were down.

speaking broadly, stands wholly apart
from the question of dealing with the
trusts. No change In tariff duties can
have any substantial effect in solving
the so-called trust problem. Certain
great trusts or great corporations are
wholly unaffected by the tariff. Prac.
tically all the others that are OF any
importance have as a matter of fact
numbers of smaller American competi.
tors; and, Of course, a change In the
tariff which would work injury to the
large corporation would work not
merely Injury but destruction to its
smaller competitors; and, equally OF
course, such change would mean dis.
aster to all the wage.workers con.
nected with either the large or the
small corporations. From the stand
point OF those interested In the solu.
ton OF the trust problem such a
change would, therefore, merely mean
that the trust was relieved OF the com.
petition of It's weaker American com.
petitors, and thrown only into com.
petition with foreign competitors; and
that the first effort to meet this new
competition would be made by cutting
down wages, and would, therefore. be
primarily at the cost Of labor. In the
case OF some Of our greatest trusts
such a change might confer upon them
a positive benefit. Speaking broadly,
1t Ia evident that the changes in the
tariff will affect the trusts for veal
or foT woe simply as they affect the
whole country. The tariff affects trusts
only ~ II affects all other interests.
1t makes all these interests, large or
small. profitable; and its benefits can
be token from the large only under
penalty OF taking them from the small
also.
ITO sum up. then, we must as
people approach matter OF such
prime economic Importance as the tar.
in from the standpoint OF our business
needle. We cannot afford to become
fossiIzed or to fail to recognize the
fact that as the needs Of the country
changs II may be necessary to meet
these new needs by changing certain
features OF our tariff laws. Still less
can we afford to fail to recognize the
further fact that these changes must
not be made until the need for them
outweighs the disadvantages which
may result; and when II becomes neo-
essary to make them they should be
made with full recognition OF the need

industrial conditions 80 frequently
change, as With us must OF necessity
be the case, 1t is a matter of primo
Importance that we should be able
from time to time to adapt our econo-
mic policy to the changed conditions.
Our aim should be to preserve the
policy Of protective tariff, in which
the nation as whole has acQuiesced,
and yet wherever and whenever neces-
sary to change the duties in particular
paragraphs or schedules as matters Of
legislative detail, if such change is
demanded by the interests of the ms.
tion as whole.
''In making any readjustment there
are certain important considerations
which cannot be disregarded. If a
tariff law has on the whole worked
well, and If business has prospered
under it and is prospecting, 1t may be
better to endure some inconvenience
and inequalities for time than by
making changes to risk causing dis
turbance and perhaps paralysis in the
industries and business of the coun-
try. The fact that the change in a
given rate Of duty may be thought de-
sirable does not settle the question
whether 1t is advisable to make the
change Immediately. Every tariff
deals with duties on thousands Of
articles arranged in hundreds of para.
graphs and in many schedules. These
duties affect vast number OF inter
ests, which are often conflicting II
necessary for our welfare, then, OF
course, congress must consider the
question Of changing the law as a
whole or changing any given rates Of
duty, but we must remember that

Of the American producer, business
man, wage-earner and farmer alike.
The general tariff policy to which,
without regard to changes in detail, |
believe this country is irrevocably
committed, is fundamentally based up
on ample recognition of the difference
between the cost of production-that
is, the cost of labor-here and abroad,
and of the need to see to 1t that our
laws shall in no event afford advantage
In our own market to foreign indus
tries over American industries, to for
eign capital over American capital,
to foreign labor over our own labor
This country has and this country
needs better-paid, better-educated,
better-fed and better-clothed working
men, Of higher type than are to be
found in any foreign country. 1t has
and 1t needs a higher, more vigorous
and more prosperous type Of tillers
Of the soil than is possessed by any
other country. The business men, the
merchants and manufacturers and the
managers of the transportation inter.
ests show the same superiority when
compared with men of their type
abroad. The events of the last few
years have shown how skillfully the
leaders of American industry use in

in our power to foster the welfare OF

words, we need to treat the tariff as
a business proposition. from the
standpoint Of the interests OF the coun.
try as a whole, and not with refer
ence to the temporary needs OF any
political party. It is almost as neces-
sary that our policy should be stable
as that 1t should be wise. A nation
like ours could not long stand the
ruinous policy Of readjusting It's bust

Stuart Robson's Loss Regretted by All
Who Knew Him.

Stuart Robson's Loss Regretted by All
Who Knew Him.
Stuart Robson, who died last week
at New York, ranked as one of the
leading comedians Of the American
stage. He was born in Baltimore,
Md, on March 4, 1886. His first ap,
pearance on the stage was at the Bal
timore museum on Jan. 5, 1852. The
play was Uncle Toms Cabin" and
Robson, then 16 years old, had a
minor part. He had a bad case Of
stage fright that nearly ended his ca.
reer on the night it began. Mr.. Rob
sons first pronounced success was as
Capt. Crosstree in the burlesque,
BLACK Eyed Susan" in which he first
appeared in 1870.
In 1877 Stuart Robson and William
H. Crane made their famous starring
partnership and played in revivals Of
"a Comedy of Errors" Merry WiveS
of Windsor" and other Shakespearean
comedies, finally taking up "The Hen
rietta," which became an extraordi-
nary success and made profits of ST..
