THE LIBRARY BIDS
Board Opens Bids For Erection OF
New Library.
THEY ALL RUIZ OVER $4,000
Four Bids Are Received, Only One of
Which is From Local Contractors.
Board to Take Final Action
Next Saturday Night.
HEY ALL RUN OVER $4,000

The Public Library Board met
last Saturday night and opened the
bids for the building of the new
Carnegie Library. There was but
one bid from local people and that
was not the lowest, although it is
understood that there is probabil-
ity OF the local people receiving the
contract. Messrs. James Sheridan
and A. W. Swain bid $15, 1876. while
the lowest bidders were John HI.
Foster & Sons. of Ashland, whose
figures were SIS, 466. Pendergast
& Clarkson, of Chicago, were the
highest bidders, their figures being
$4,000. Dan Egan, of Ashland,
bid $4,000, AS the Board has but
$l5, 900 from Mr.. Carnegie with
which to construct their building,
and all of the bids have lun over
that amount, they adjourned until
Saturday evening of this week, in
order that they might have time to
devise ways and means to determine
what to do. 1t is understood that
the contract will be let at the next
meeting. The board has surplus
in their treasury, which will likely
be used in addition to the Carnegie
gift to complete the building. Work
will begin on the structure in the
early spring.

At the next session Of the legisla
ture, besides a chief justice, two
circuit judges are to be chosen. One
to succeed Judge D. A. Townsend OF
the seventh and one to succeed Judge
Ernest Gary. We have long been
of the opinion that judges should be
as far removed from the political
arena as possible and for that reason
have been inclined to the opinion
that they should be chosen for life
or during good behavior. That was
Our position before the revolution
of 1890 at which time the supreme
court and circuit court judges were
elected largely for factional and par
tisan reasons. We thought and
said then it was wrong. We still.
hold that opinion. Judge Townsend
it will be recalled, defeated that true
patriot, scholarly Judge, and noble
and big hearted gentleman, Judge
William H. Wallace, than whom nc
truer son of his state ever lived
Judge Townsend could not complain
if he were replaced by some other
gentleman of the bar of this circuit
We do not say he should be. In
fact it is not known that he will care
to succeed himself
1t will also be recalled that Ernest
Gary declined to be candidate IN
case that other golden hearted son
of South Carolina, Judge Joseph B.
Kershaw, desired to succeed himself
When he declined to be candidate
for reelection then Mr. Gary entered
the race and was elected. He will
stand for reelection at this term,
though it is reported he will have
two or possibly three opponents

FRIDAY, OCTOBER FL.
TO Our Subscribers.

We trust our subscribers will real
ize the necessity and the Importance
OF paving the small amounts they
owe us. We must have money to
meet our obligations and the only
way we have of raising it is from
those who owe us. The amount
each one owes is small but in the ag-
gregate is a considerable sum to us.
Suppose of the 1000 papers we send
out 1900 of them would pay us only
one dollar each in the next ten days,
you can readily see what a small
matter it would be to each one and
vet what it would mean for us. VIII
not each one who is in arrears pay at
least one year by the first of No
vember. Good crops and fair prices
make it easy for you to do SO. AS
soon as you read this arrange to send
or bring us all or part Of what you
owe. We have been lenient and have
not worried you about this little mat
ter but we need it now and need it
bad. Come along and relieve the
situation.

The State executive committee OF
the Democratic party has ruled, IN
the Speegle-Walker contest from
Greenville county, that it has no
jurisdiction in. an appeal from the
decision of the county committee.
That may be a correct Interpretation
of the party's rules, but it is not a
wholesome condition Of affairs.
There should be some final tribunal
of appeal upon local differences and
the tribunal should. be lone removed
from the influences. Of the. contention
as far as possible. This incident is
but one Of many which show the un-
effectiveness of the party constitution
and rules. The whole fabric OF the par
ty law should be, reconstructed by
some authority established for the
purpose. And then the party rules
ought to be put under the statute
law of the state.-Charleston Post.
1t does not strike us as a carrect
Interpretation of the constitution OF
the party but we agree with the Post
that the party rules should be put
under the statute law of the state and
that the whole fabric should be re-
constructed.

The whole case rested on the lden-
tity of the writer of the note and the
State failed absolutely to prove that
Hoyt did write or that the unfortu-
nate woman did not write it. 1t was a
remarkable case, and as we have already
said, the verdict was not the least
remarkable feature. We hope our
contemporaries will insist that in all
cases Justice should be done what
ever the consequences; that no vi
carious sacrifices be demanded; that
the jurors be urged to do their duty
with honest purpose and that the
mob spirit receive no encouragement
from opponents Of mob rule.-Ihe
State.
No one should desire to see an
innocent man punished, either by
death or confinement. Justice is all
that any good citizen could ask.
If the whole case rested on the
note was not that, question fully ar
gued by the lawyers before the jury
with all the witnesses before them.
According to the State in this case
the jury failed in it's duty in finding
verdict as it did. ~

No one questions the honesty or
the motive of the governor in his
action in the Hoyt Hayes case. We
are satisfied that he did what he con-
scientiously believed to be his duty.
But if so much depended on the note
in question the attorneys for Hayes,
it seems to us, were derelict in
their dut in not having the expert
to testify before the jury. There is
where this evidence should have
been presented.

Walker-Speegle Contest.


The State executive committee
of the democratic party holds in
the Walker-Specgle contest case
from Grenville that it has no juris-
diction. and the case stands where
it was fixed by the Grcenville COM
nittee which first declared Walker
the nominee for supervisor and after
wards reversed its decision and said
Speegle had won by seven votes.
The returns as they came in from
the precinct managers gave Walker
a small majority. Speegle contested
the result and the committee threw
out certain votes and by a strictly
partisan vote the county commit
tee, We are told, said Speegle had
a majority of seven. The Walker
side of the contest claims the COM
mittee refused to take up other pre-
cincts where Speegle had maiorities
so that they might show that more
votes were cast than were on the
club rolls.
We do not know anything Of the
merits or dement's of this particular
case but it does seem in keeping
with our form and system Of govern
ment that there should be some ap-
pellate court to hear and review such
cases. 1t seems from the decision
of the state committee that it IS
based on rules of its own making
rather than on the constitution OF the
party itself.
1t leaves the case in bad shape in
Greenville county from all that VIC
can hear.
In fact we would not be surpriS Jed
to see the contest carried to the gen
eral election which would be very
unfortunate.
If the committee had taken juris-
diction in the beginning Of the case
it could at least have thrown the mat
ter back on the people by ordering
another primary between these two
opponents.
The committee should change its
rules so as to have appellate juris-
diction. Otherwise what has the
committee to do at all with the coun-
ty primaries.
The following is the constitution of
the party on this question::
The state executive committee
shall meet on the Friday after each
primary, or such other time as may
be designated by the chairman to can
vass the vote and declare the result
as to all state officers, congressman
and United States senators. All
contests for all nominations at pri-
mary elections shall be heard first
by the county executive committee
of the county in which such irregu-
larities may have occurred, and may
be reviewed by the state executive
committee, whose action shall be
final.
This it seems to us plain and gives
authority to review the action of a
county committee and il the state
committee has adopted any rule to
the contrary it is in contraventlon OF
the law of the party.

OurBusiness Methods

Our aim in business is to deal hon.
estly with the trade and to sell them
reliable merchandise at the lowest cash
prices. We do not care to do credit
business or to mark our goods on a
credit basis, therefore, you will find in
visiting our store that we ask you all
one price, and that price you will find
just as low, if not a little lower, than
you can buy the same class of goods
anywhere. 1t has been claimed by
some that you cannot have one price
in Newberry, that the people have been
educated in late years to expect you to
take less than you ask them at first;
in other words, if you can afford to sell
a shoe, or a hat, or a pair of pants at
So. 90 cash, mark them $3.50, then if
your customer asks you to charge them
get $3.50, but if you can't get $3.50 or
S2.25, take $500. This is not our way,
and looking at it from our standpoint it
would not be right, as we believe we
owe it to Our customers and to the
trade to mark all our goods just as low
as we can sell them and treat all alike.
Let the change of price be an excep-
tion rather than a rule, and by getting
the volume of business, making small
profit on each one, win the confidence
of the trade and hold it for years. We
believe that the more you investigate
our methods. the better you will like to
trade with US, especially so, when you
have orders to fill and haven't the time
to look all around, when you are so
busy this fall, you can always feel sure
that you are getting the right prices
on everything you buy from us.
SPECIAL.
In order to induce you to concentrate
your business with us, until further
notice, we will allow you On ali pur-
chases of ten dollars and over, made at
one time, cash discount Of five per
cent. Come and see US often.

TWO MEN FAIL
OF CITIZENSHIP

Judge S. B. Dole was obliged to deny
two applications for citizenship yester-
day afternoon. They were subjects of
Portugal and the cause of their rejec-
ton was ignorance. in one case general
and in the other specific. The applicant
of the latter class was unable to tell
the difference between the government
of Portugal and that of the United
States. Nineteen of their fellow-coun-
trymen were naturaIized.
In the morning Judge Dole naturaliz-
ed four aliens and in the afternoon
twenty, holding the second session at
the special request of Attorney GEN
eral Andrews. The list follows:
Great Britain-James Cunning, Scot
land: Chas. A. De Cew, Canada.
Germany-Eugene Frey, Diem Pohde,
Henry Klaus.

DONE BY TRYING.

Nobody can tell what he can
do till he tries. When a thing
ought to be done the modern
spirit moves us to keep working
away at it until it is done. In
the face Of this idea the simpos-
sible" vanishes. Where there's
a will, there's a way. eff we
could but rob cod liver oil of
its sickening taste and smell and
then combine it with two or
three other ingredients we should
possess the best remedy in the
world for certain diseases that
are now practically incurable. "
So said famous English physi-
clan twenty-five years ago. "But
it will never be DONE" he added.
"You can no more turn cod liv-
er oil into a palatable medicine,
than you can turn the Goldfish
itself into Bird of Paradise"
Yet he lived to admit that in
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
the impossible had been &C
complished. 1t is palatable as
honey and contains all the nu-
tritiye and curative properties of
Pure Cod Liver Oil, extracted
by US from fresh cod livers, COM
bined with the Compound Syrup
of Hypophosphites, Extracts of
Malt and Wild Cherry. This
remedy is freed from the bad
peculiarities DIR. Frothingham so
detested, and it is precisely the
splendid medicine he wished for.
Use it freely and confidently for
Hysteria, Wasting Complaints,
Anemia, Blood Impurities, Asth-
ma, and Throat and Lung Trou-
bles. DR.. W. II. B. Atkins, Ply
stefan to Toronto General Hos
pital, says: 81 am much pleased
to state that the results from
using Wampole's Preparation Of
Cod Liver Oil have been uni
formly satisfactory; it appealed
to me as being prepared accord
ing to correct scientific princi-
pies" It increases the appetite
and influences the digestion of
food; it is delicious to take, will
not disappoint you, and is effec-
tive from the first dose. One bot
tie convinces. At all chemists.

YESTERDAYS
BIG BLAZE
1t Is Believed to Have
Had Incendiary
Origin.

When the Advertiser press had been
restarted on the final pages of yester-
days edition after being interrupted
to insert a report of the fire at King
street, Aala park and Aala lane, the
flames had just been got under con-
troll.
The buildings destroyed belonged to
the Ii Cheung and the Sang Chong
companies, Yee wo and Wo Chan, be-
ing as stated yesterday on ground
leased from Chief Justice Frear and
insured as a condition of the lease. An
estimate of the value of the buildings
given out by Mr.. Frear yesterday is
s12 0oO
There was a large number of Chi
nese merchant tenants occupying the
stores on the ground floor. The upper
stories of the buildings were used as
dwelling and lodging apartments. A
japanese photographer had his gallery
on one of the upper floors. The prin
cipal mercantile tenants were: Tong,
Kee Kin, general merchandise; Sun
Wing Tai, shoes; See Sin Yum, tailor;
Sam Mau. pork dealer; zee Wo, butch
er; also a Chinese grocer and a Japa-
nese fish merchant. It is said that the
stocks in general were covered with
insurance
It is believed by the police authori-
ties that both the incipient fire of Sun
day night and the confagration OF
Monday morning had incendiary
origin. A Chinese name placed on the
police station register yesterday after
noon for investigation" is believed to
be that of a suspected frebug.
Of the underwriters concerned, Bish-
op & Co., w. c. Irwin & Co, Hawai-
ian Trust Co. and C. ]. Hutchins are
said to have carried an aggregate of
$500 insurance. The entire loss is
placed at $4,000 to $4,000, scarcely a
third of it insured. Some policies are
reported to have been withdrawn re-
Gently on account of the risks being
regarded as extra hazardous.
