THURSDAY. September 10. 1898.

The Aiken Journal and Review is now
an eight-page seven-column paper. We
congratulate Bro. Washburn on the I'M
proyement, and he is getting out mighty
newsy sheet, too.
~
The State officials skimp and save
few hundred dollars on the public print
ing bill, and yet waste thousands On
other well-nigh useless expenditures.
But this is economy!
~
City council would please many OF US
if that body would prohibit the selling of
these loud-smelling fish on Main street
Then, too, the street is badly blocked on
Saturdays by these venders and the
crowds that congregate around them.
x*x
Are the sidewalks on Main street made
for the use of pedestrians or for mer-
chants to display their wares on? This
is question which city council should
settle. If the sidewalks are for the use
of merchants and street venders, why
then We people who want to use them to
walk on (bnt who pay taxes) should give
up the sidewalks and risk our lives out in
the middle of the street among passing
vehicles. Certainly the walks are too
narrow to be used for both purposes, and
in order to settle any conflict which
might arise, council should at once take
action which will settle the matter.
~
Is it possible that city council has not
the power to keep the sidewalks clear on
Saturday afternoons? For it seems to US
if the power was theirs it would be used.
It is pretty hard when the wives and
children of the taxpayers of the town
cannot walk on Main street at this time
without forcing themselves with great
difficulty through densely packed crowd
of filthy, foul-smelling, and too often
foal-mouthed negroes. There should be
) some relief, and we appeal to our city
authorities to give it to US. If the pres
ent force of policemen is insufficient, en-
ploy others Saturday afternoons is the
only time extra men are needed, and the
cost would be very little.

is to be started in this State, to be printed
at Greenwood by the Index Office. We
don't suppose it makes any difference to
the promoters, and certainly We do not
expect our opinion to have any weight
but the enterprise, We believe, will be a
losing venture. Understanding the news
paper situation in South Carolina as We
do, it is our honest opinion that there is
not room enough here for two Methodist
papers. The new sheet may flourish for
awhile, and while we have no objection
Z to their starting as many newspapers as
they please, We are afraid it will not sue
eeed permanently. In fact, there is too
much of newspaporial tendency in this
State anyway. Most any fellow thinks
he can run paper successfully, even in
towns where the field is already fully
occupied, or he starts up at some little
place where he can only exist at best.
The consequence is that We have number
of suspensions, many newspapers barely
live, and in many places the business is so
divided up that no one can print as
creditable sheet as the growth and pro-
gress of the town warrants. What We
need in South Carolina is fewer and better
newspapers.

In the Cause Of Temperance.

Mr.. Thos. j. LaMotte, of Columbia, has
accepted the appointment as one OF the
Organizers in this State for the Temper
anee Educational Bureau at Hyde Park,
Chicago. The object of this organization
is to establish and conduct systematic
and continuous education and agitation
ON the various phases of the temperance
reform by the jud:cious use of specially
prepared tracts and other literature, this
method having found to be the most
effective way of showing the evils of the
liquor traffic and persuading people to
work and vote for its destruction. Mr.
LaMotte hopes to enlist the personal Co
operation of all friends of temperance,
and will be pleased to furnish them all
information as to the plans of the Bureau
and the methods of operation.
