Coming Round All Right.

The Press and Banne is deliR hted to know
that the mind Of the News and Courier is
coming round all right. An honest confess
sion, 1t is said, is good for the soul. The News
and Courier one day last week confessedtts
way wardness in generally disagreelng with
the opinions expressed by this newspaper.
But last week that paper was In a much better
mood and its lind seemed 10 be much clear
er than usual.
Agreeing with US in thinking that the
croaker is q more effective public enemy than
the vagrant that most excellent newspaper is
as clearly in the right on croakers az 1t was
on the Ogden question. There are at least
two questions upon which the News and
Courier has lately evinced q clear mentality.
II that paper keeps on Improving 1t will soon
become as correct a newspaper as the Press
and Banner, and we know that our always
able, but sometimes erring brother. Will
appreciate a high compliment.
Abbeville has grown apace, but the old
town still has a few croakers left. We have
progressed in spite of them. Our town, like
Charleston, has been sorely afflicted with
croakers, who have been Reinforced by that
noble army Of wise men who told you
So"
The article OF the News and Courier Oh
croakers ia 80 good, n It's comment Is so
pleasant that we reprint 1t. in order TO
help Abbeville people TO gather up courage
TO make croakers leave town or become good
and respectable citizens by lending a helping
hand in some Of the patriotic efforts to build
up the town.
Abbeville needs more industrial enterprises
that will give people an opportunity to work
at some profitable employment.

Only Two.

, So far as we know, only two anniversary
orators have been invited to speak twice al
Due West Commencement. In the ffties
John NJ. Bright Of Tennessee, made a com
mencement speech, which, because OF its
eloquence, excited enthusiasm and was the
talk OF all. A quarter of a century later he
was recalled and a great multitude assem-
bled TO hear him. But on the occasion Of the
second speech, the orator had gone far down
the western slope. His fire and his eloquence
had departed and the old man failed to cleo
tri1y the audience as he did on the first &C.
casion.
About twenty-five years ago the Hon. W. G.
Benet made a commencement speech q Frs
kline. On that occasion, Judge Benet, like
Mr.. Bright on his first address, was well
equipped with q wealth OF thought, q great
fund Of Information, and a rare command Of
language. He, like Bright in the ffties, held
his audience spell-bound.
Last week Mr.. Benet, like Mr.. Bright, was
reca lled, encored SO to speak, but, unlike Mr..
Bright, he had lost nothing of his eloquence.
He was still full Of power, and his charming
Of oratory delighted all. even more
than on his first appearance. He was
last week more than his former self, and his
genial personality was, If possible, more de-
lightful than 1t was a quarter Of a century
ago.
Next day, after delivering his speech at
Due West, he came 10 Abbeville and spent
q few hours before taking the train for Colum-
bia. II the Due West folk knew how pleas
antly he spoke Of the college. the people, and
the town generally, they would be even more
pleased with him than they were with bis
commencement speech.
Abbeville honors Judge Benet. He has
many friends here who would love to see
him return TO his old home. He lived In the
higher and ipurer atmosphere. His genial
and kindly nature had the effect OF helping
others to higher thoughts and better things.

Give Us A Great Navy.

When the battleships South Carolina
and Michigan are completed they will
be the best and most effective fighting
craft afloat, and while we may have a
personal pride in our representative of
the navy we should rejoice that the
United States is building an array Of
ships which can meet any enemy on the
seas. We ought to have a great navy.
Those who talk about government eX-
travagance deplore this tendency to put
millions of dollars into battleships and
cruisers, but mary of ia are not of that
opinion. The South Carolina will cost
IS, 000, 900. That is a great deal OF money,
to be sure, but we must have the best
or nothing. The statement has been
made by a naval eapert that in the next
eight years England and the United
States will have 70 battleships in COM
mission against 81 vessels of the same
type from all other countries of the
world. In other words, John Bull and
Uncle Sam can whip the universe on
the ocean. The naval powers now rank
in this order: Great Britain, France,
Germany, United States, Italy, Japan,
Russia, and Austria. Prior to the battle
of the Sea of Japan they ranked as fol-
lows Great Britain, France, Russia,
Germany, United States, Italy, japan,
and Austria.
Itmay be said that as the United States
rises in power it will be more anxious to
go out to conquer other nations, but
that is not true. This is the most glo-
rious country OF the face Of the earth
and it should rank better than fourth
on the high seas. The Russian defeat
shows that our standing has been ad-
vanced by a wal with which we had
nothing to do, yet we cannot hope to
grow in strength by idly waiting for
other wars. William c. Whitney,
Gro err CleveIand's Secretary of the
Navy, helped to bring this government
forward and the good work begun dur
ing his administration should be con-
tinued. Democrats, we believe, are not
altogether in favor of these naval APP
preparations, except when they want
something for the South. That may be
due to the fact that they are not in
power. Politics has nothing to do with
matters which concern the future well
fare and greatness of the United States.
A big navy ear a smaller standing
army. We went ahead of Russia in a
fateful day, and We should proceed to
rank above France and Germany by
building battleshfps which will carry
the Stars and Stripes over all the e
Greenville News.

The Dispensary Investigation.

While this paper supports the dispenssry
II Is in the belief that even with isolated
cases OF corruption and fraud, 1t Is better
than wholesale fraud, such as must come
from prohibition, secured largely by the
votes OF the liquor element, or high IL
cense, which will open again the gilded bar
room with its gambling and treating. The
temperance people OF the State are not ready
TO surrender the material advantage gained
in thei interest OF sobriety. such as the aboli-
ton Of the al.-night bar and Its attendant
vices, nor are they willing to turn over to q
dessolute and de%bauching class, funds that
now revert to the whole people for the COM
mon good.
But to defend In institution Is one thing
and to defend dishonest officials In that in
stitution is quite another thing.
No business can claim immunity from the
employment OF dishonest officials; n II
would be q wonder II the dispensary is an
exception TO the rule. Let the fraud be I'm.
earthed and the offender punished. This
Is the accepted method, where an Of
hcisl OF a county, bank. railroad or other cor
poratton or institution is found short In his
accounts, and In no Instance is a good insti
tuttcn ueSLrOyeu because OF e8cepLlOndI IT.
rsguiaaities by officials.
. The legislative committee who have bad
tho Investigation Of the dispensary in hand,
deserve the grateful thanks of all true tenn
pssanoe people for the faithful q fearless
manner in which they have taken hold oil
the matter. The bplk OF the work up to this
time has been done by a sub committee, OF
which our fellow townsman, Hon. j. Fraser
Lyon, IN q member. While be is an unswery-
ing friend to the d~lspensary in the truest
sense. he IL the vital enemy OF corruption in
It's management. Whatever Irregularities OF
frauds may be unearthed will be largely
the result Of his untiring energy and abso-
lute Iearlessness in the discharge of duty
The d~ispensary has no truer friend n fraud
no heartier or more competent prosecutor
than J. Fraser Lyon.
It Is idle for those who affiliate with the
bar-room element for the purpose OF destroy.
ing the dispensary 10 claim higher incentives
or purer motives than the temperance people
Of this country in an effort TO rid the country
OF any fraud or corruption that may exist.
