New Hampshire has come into pos
session of bonds to the amount Of $780,
600 issued by South Carolina during the
reconstruction days and since repudi-
ated, and 1t Is said that the state gov
ernment will make demand upon South
Carolina for payment Of these bonds.
The bonds were given New Hampshire
by one Of its citizens, who died a few
years ago. Under a well-known Sec
tions Of the constitution the citizen was
unable to sue South Carolina for the
value Of the bonds. but one state may
sue another through the federal courts:
end IL South Carolina refuses to pay
on New Hampshire's demands, such a
suit Is likely. South Dakota recently
instituted such a suit cgainst one of
the southern states. having come into
possession Of some of the latters
repudiated bonds, and that suit Is still
pending. There are great numbers of
repudiated southern bonds held by in
dividuals throughout the country. and
II these are turned over to the states.
It is altogether likely that the southern
states may yet be obliged to pay the
honest debts which they have tried 10
avoid.

A SUGGESTION

In the matter of building of sidewalks, subject
in which all of the people of Greenville at pres
ent greatly interested, The Times ventures make
suggestion which, while first sounding rather
audacious, will commend itself more and
it is thought
1t is the building of a sidewalk to the cemetery,
or rather the extension of the walk from Main
street to that point.
Many persons, chiefly ladies' are in the habit of
walking daily to the cemetery and many others
drive thither in their carriages or hire vehicles
for the purpose. In winter the long walk through
mud and in through dust is that most
faces it bravely.
] There few citizens who not in some way
interested in the cemetery and it is safe to say that
all would be glad if it could be brought under closer
observance by those whose dead inferred in it.
At present it is cared for almost entirely by an
association of ladies, who engage sexton whose
duty it is keep in order the lots cared 70 rby
association 1t is impossible to overlook his work
properly, weeks often elapsng during which even
vehicles cannot conveniently get the cemetery. II
there were good sidewalk hundred people would
go in place of one who goes now. The graves could
be under constant supervision of those interested
in them the constant and outrageous depredations
on flowers and shrubbery would cease and the GENE
terry would become place of beauty, instead of a
| forlorn and often neglected spot.
But the benefit to the cemetery woSild not be the
only good results OF such an enterprse-anong the
most valuable residence lots in the city are those
along the banks of the old bayou Main street. A
sidewalk in front of each of them would be an i'm
mediate and great addition to its value; and would
enable the to place value on his lot which
would more than reimburse him for the outlay As
purely business proposition the extension of the
sidewalk is well worthy of careful consideration

The sum of the matter is that break has oc-
Cured small in extent and probably produced by the
the rotting of the mattress which has lain Cor
al years at the bottom of the rock work Thesame
thing has occurred before, and will probably occur
again The mattress proof against natural de-
cay and repairs must occasionally be made to keep
the work in proper condition. If the river was not
too high to admit OF it, the break would be mended
at once and no uneasiness would be felt because of
it.
Themattresses have rotted in places at other
points and have been repaired, exactly will be
done with the break in question The most serious
feature OF the occurrence is the of the evee
to the river and the possibility that in time it may
be necessary place portions of it farther back 1t
and any succeeding breaks will be repaired by
placing new mattress work as soon as the staAe OF
the water permits.
The new mattress. while not ndestruct;ble, will
withstand the rottng action of water for years,
has been demonstrated; and when the present break
has been so repaired it will be long time before
this particular part of the revetment will again need
attention
Those who examined the similar break which oc-
CURED last winter, caused by the rotng of the mat
tress which allowed the rockwork to fall through
will best understand the situation That break was
repaired the water went down, by laying
new mattress and rock work, and further
trouble has occurred at that point, is any anti
pated The same thing will be done with the Belle
Air street break and any others that may happen a.
the old mattresses rot away.

there will not be only one but about hundred keen

which will surely be printed and scattered broadcast

1t is not likely that the city will have to suffer

A HARD WORKING CONGRESSMAN

The work of Congressman G. Humphreys in
Washington this year will compare favorably with
that of any new Representative in the House. The
very fact of his being made member of the River
and Harbors Committee, position more important
to this District than almost any other on the caen-
dar, should be argument enddgh to cause people
to return him to Washington next term
AS the political situation stands today Ben Hum
phreys can do as much in Congress for the Shoe
String District with the position he holds any
man it could send there, if not accomplish more The
District cannot afford to elect Representative
with but chance of his getting the above men

THEY USUALLY PAY

For the benefit OF those people who think that
editors get railroad and other passes besides pretty
nearly everything they want free of charge the
Bulletin reproduces the following from the Wesson
Enterprise which is clear, truthful statement OF
the case, and it is commended to those who are
quick to say that editors deadhead everything:
Some people seem be under the impression
that editors do not have to pa, anything for riding
on the trains: that they all have free passes This
editor has been in business several years and we
have never received free pass yet OF course we
have mileage book good for travel on the railroad
but we pay for that mileage in advertising just
the same as would pay merchant for a pair of
shoes suit of clothes, and we are under no more
obligations to railroad company for pass than we
are to any other advertiser for their goods lust be-
cause editor pays for something in advertising is
no reason why it is given him. Space in a newspa-
per is to the editor just what goods in store are
to merchants. Suppose brings>a fresh hog in
to town and exchanges it to merchant for goods,
would you say that the merchant had given the
farmer the goods. that the farmer had given the
merchant the hog? OF course no sensible person
would think Of such thing. and the same rule ap-
plies to the railroad passes and advertising

THE cREENv1LLE DAILY TIMES

AS one of the features of entertainment during
the session of the Press Association in this city
next May, The Times is contemplating the issuing
of morning daily, giving synopsis of all the inn
portant happenings as given out by the Associated
Press and give complete proceedings of each days
session of the State Press.
To max, this daily will have to
carry some twenty thirty columns OF advertising
matter and if our merchants vii favor with that
much Advertising for three days, while the editors
are here the daily will be on their breakfast table
every morning. This will furnish the OF the
country fresh to both citizens and visitors and not
require them to wait until noon evening for the
dailies of the larger cities
We have not fully decided yet whether or not
We will issue daily but if we do we will give our
readers paper that will be credit to the city 1t
will also be matter of experiment with For
some time past we have been asked to publish a
daily but have hesitated to do this because of lack
of advertising support, the merchants claiming that
they could not afford expense in this line. But il
the results satisfactory in the daily for the Press
Association meeting, it will not be many days be-
fore we will issue regularly, and in first class shape
