Negro Ministers at Work.

The negro ministers are stAI working to better the moral con ditions of their people. and while we are meeting with many oppo- sitions, yet we feel that right will ultimately triumph. We al- so realize the fact that if one ever conquers, he laust sacrifice. We feel that our*union has been a great bl. ssing to the better ele- ment of our race, and we appeal to the negro 7 ministers and churches to take new courage and go forth in the prosecution of the work SO nobly begun.
 We believe that religion, nor ality and good citizenship are the main factors in building a race.
 By order and in behalf of union.
 VIM. WHITE. Secretary.

Rock island to Rock Ballast.

General Manager D. E. Cain of the Rock Island is authority for the statement that every mile of the system is to be bal lasted 1ith rock or gravel. One hundred and fifteen heavy en- zines have been ordered, of which all except ffty-three have been delivered. The manage ment has appropriated sufficient money for great improvements, says the general manager.

The Brownlow Bill Appeals to Al'.

Ol tSiIlSooSS HUI OuNCC0 WAo~s has become known as his good roads bill some well-meaning people looked upon 1t as a vision ary proposition; others as con- stitutional innovation, and still others as a something calculated to bankrupt the national treas ury. A little thought on the sub- feet discovered that it was none of these. but the most practical and important economic meas ure ever submitted in the house of representatives. Following the Brownlow bill there came two bills from the senate = from Senators Latimer of South Caro- lima and Gallinger of New Hamp- shire, and two or more in the house. The bills are similar in their provisions, what is known as the Brownlow-Latimer bill being recognized as covering the provisions of the others. It IS believed that during the life of the 59th congress, soon to con- vene, the bill will be enacted II into law. It is inconceivable that congress will refuse to ex- tend the relief to the country which is called for. When 1t is remembered that, according to census figures, the value of farm products in the United States for 1893 footed up the total of S4,- 739, 118, 752, and that every dol lars worth of this product is moved over the public roads all of it, less the live stock, hauled in wagons ito the rall- roads and waterways, and that these wagon roads as a rule are deplorably bad, the necessity of relief impresses itself without argument. Old systems of road improvement are worthless. Local effort has proven a fiat failure. as the experience of sev- enty-five years has proven be- yond cavil. States and counties, with a few wealthy exceptions, are unable to cope with the trouble. There must be govern ment aid, and the Brownlow- Latimer Dill provides for 1t. The man in town will stop to note I where his interest lies in this matter. There is a loss to the farmers of S1,500,000 by reason of bad roads, every time the sun sets. The price and quality of farm products is effected by highway conditions. Take into account. too, that agriculture sustains all our business and ln- \ stitutions, and that agricultural life and productiveness is not on well-paved streets of towns and cities, but on the rural high ways; and when the whole ques-. tion is studied as it should be, sit down and write your senator and representative a letter de- manding support for the Brown low-Latimer bill for national aid to highway construction and inn provement. ;.

WE have all along been doubtful as

WE have all along been doubtful as
to whether there was any real neces-
sity for increasing the number Of ju-
dicial circuits and circuit judges.
That there has been very material
increase in the business Of the courts,
on the civil side, there Is
no doubt: but 1t has been q question
with us as to whether this increase
could not easily be disposed of with
a little more work. We have noticed
that some Of the judges get through
with a comparatively small amount OF
business while others invariably trans
act a great deal more. One man
comes along behind another, and clears
away left over matters that the other
had allowed to accumulate. This fact
seems to suggest that IL all OF the
judges were up to the standard OF the
best Of them, eight could easily do the
work that will now fall on ten. But
the lawyers have been persistent about
the matter, and the politicians have
assisted them, until at last the propo-
sition has prevailed, in spite Of the
fact that a majority Of the members
of the general assembly are probably
still about as doubtful as we are.
However, we sincerely hope that it
will all turn out for the best and that
the ten circuit arrangement will re-
suit in keeping up with the court bus
iness to the satisfaction Of every
body.

CANVASS OF YORK TOWNSHIP.

The gentlemen who have been can
vassing York township for signers to
the pledge of the Southern Cotton
Growers association have been meet
ing with all the encouragement that
could be desired.
Mr.. ]. w. Smith, who has the terri
tory northwest of Yorkville, between
the C. & NV. and southern railroads,
had completed the greater part OF his
work yesterday morning, and In
general way gave the reporter a sum-
mary Of results.
."Up to this time" he said, Il have
about rs names on my list, and my
part of the town Of Yorkville still to
canvass. I have not run across but
two people who refused to sign, and
all have either paid the 25 cents zee
or are good for 1t before Saturday.
"It has been my experience that
where people read the papers, they
sign without question, and where they
don't read you have to give them an
explanation beginning with the
creation Of action and covering all
Of the events down to the present
time, including those that were out OF
date ten years ago. But most people
read, l am glad to say and have
had but little trouble"
The experience Of the other can
vassers so far as the reporter has been
able to learn, has been fully as encour-
aging as that Of Mr.. Smith, and the
report that York township will make to
the county convention tomorrow VIII
be entirely satisfactory.

and more Is being heard about pend
ing arbitration treaties than anything
else. In transmitting the treaties. the
president gave 1t out that unless they
were ratified without amendments, he
would drop them. He wrote letter
to Senator Cullum to this effect, and
at the same time gave the letter out
for publication in the newspapers. The
senators pretend to be very much Of
Tended at the alleged discourtesy with
which they have been treated, claim
ing the presidents letter to be no less
than an open affront. 1t Is In the ma
ture Of an attempt to intimidate the
senators they claim. and besides that
they hold that the president has no
right to make public matters In which
the senate is bound to secrecy. 1t Is
a we'll known fact, however, that SEN
ators give away the proceedings OF
their so-called secret sessions when
ever they desire and that the newspa-
pers frequently publish what the Sc
cret sessions are doing before the ses-
sions adjourn. The real trouble about
the whole matter is that the president
Is trying to make the senate represent
the people at large instead Of the great
trusts. That the senate should resent
such interference is very natural.

of More Striking Interest In
House and Senate.

Matters Of More Striking Interest In
House and Senate.
1t has developed that the senate did
not express it's real sentiment In the
recent vote by which 1t decided to
abolish hotel and beer privileges. Sem
ator Blease Of Newberry was absent
at the time the vote Of last Saturday
was taken, having gone with Senator
Bivens to Dorchester on account OF
the killing of Greenberg by Mrs.
Bivens. After his return on Monday
Senator Blease had the matter brought
up again on the ground that there had
not been full vote. He moved to
recommit and the motion carried by a
vote Of 16 to 13.
The ten circuit bill having been
passed by both houses. the house and
senate met in joint assembly last
Tuesday and elected judges for the
two additional circuits. George E.
Prince Of Anderson and Thos. P. Goth
ran Of Greenville. were nominated for
the position Of Judge Of one circuit,
and r. w. Memminger Of Charleston,
and Vm. ]. Fishburn Of Colleton were
nominated for the other circuit. Mr..
Cothran received 50 votes and Mr..
Prince received 80 votes. Mr.. Fish
burn received 40 votes and Mr.. Men,
minger received 10.
AS the result Of a proposition to
abolish 1t, the lien law had a pretty
close shave in the house last Tuesday;
but this law will not be wiped from
the statute books yet awhile.
Among the bills that passed the SEN
ate without discussion last Wednes-
day, was one providing that hereafter
election returns be sent to Columbia
by mail and express rather than by
special messengers.
A bill by Senator Brice to allow
building and loan association that are
already in existence to increase their
capital stock without having to pay
additional charter fees, the same as
new companies passed second read
ing in the senate Wednesday without
opposition.
The Toole bill repeating the tax
clause Of the Brice act, which passed
the house by such an overwhelming
majority was voted on in the senate
yesterday and was killed by a vote OF
20 to II.
The house Of representatives has en-
dorsed Mr.. B. A. Morgan Of Greenyille
for appointment as United States dis
trict judge.

made the sensational statement that
for the first time in his experience as
a cotton man real cotton Is not val
ued by the price set by Wall street;
that his house would not sell spot
cotton for less than eight cents; and
that this action on the part Of the
farmers in holding their cotton Is
history making" 1T has for years
been my experience that the prevail
ing price Of spot cotton was set by
contract prices of Wall street. Now,
for the first time since 1 have been
in the business, the two markets are
distinctly apart and have little, If any

not. 1 am not going to sell cotton for

It from the farmer for eight cents"

Washington special Of Wednesday
to the Columbia Record: The senate
judiciary committee today favorably
reported the bill creating a new judi
cial district in South Carolina and
Senator Latimer called on the presi-
dent today to discuss the matter with
him. The house late yesterday passed
the new district bill in that body, but
a clash is now expected. AS passed by
courts at Greenville, Spartanburg and
Rock Hill. The senate committee did
not believe court ought to be held at
Spartanburg, because 1t is. so close to
Greenville, and allowed Latimer to
recommend one other place. Green
wood has been selected and the bill
as 1t will 60 through the senate pro-
vides for courts at Greenwood and
Greenville. Latimer did not think the
railroad facilities at Rock Hill good
enough and therefore put In Green
wood. The bill will have to go to con-
ference and Johnson says he will not
let the bill pass at all IL Spartanburg
is left out. He has been informed that
IL he cares to take the responsibility Of
the failure Of the bill to pass he can do
so. The president has asked Latimer to
report to him as to candidates for the
judgeship and intimates he wants a
good Republican IL one can be found.
Latimer and Aiken both believe Ern-
est Cochran we'll fitted for the judge
ship and will recommend him II they
find that the president will not take a
Democrat. The chances now strongly
favor Cochran, who Is assistant United
States attorney. II Democrat Is ap-
pointed, Mccullough Of Greenville,
stands the best chance.
