Tokeena, S. c., May s, 1905.-Editors
Courier: Your editorial of April 9th,
hatitled "An Outlet Needed" is timely,
shRhd we think should and does meet the
approval of the people of the towns and
communities named therein. So we
write to suggest that your Mr.. Shelor
get up the necessary application or
declaration to the Secretary of State,
asking for commission to open books
of subscription, organize company to
build and procure charter for a trolley
line from Westminster to Fair Play and
Townville, S. c., and Oakway, being
near the centre of the territory most
interested. We would also suggest
that grand picnic be given there
at which prominent speakers be
invited to enlighten the people on the
subject of trolley lines, their usefulness
on the day the books of subscrip-
tion are opened. If $4,000 could be
raised as soon as it was to build two oil
mills a year or so ago in this same Sec
tion, we can see no reason now why we
should not raise 100000 to build and
equip trolley line that would do more
to enhance the value of our property,
make travel easy and cheap, reduce
freight charges on guano, etc., and at
the same time pay the stockholders a
! good dividend on the money invested.
Let us hear from citizens along the
line suggested, and in the communities
named does the proposition meet your
approvalp Will you subscribe and how
muchp Here is q $1,000 subscription.
Ninety-nine like subscriptions will build
the road. Respectfully,
Bearverdam.

MISSION TO JAPAN.
Friendship and Trade Were what

The letter which Commodore Perry
bore from our government to the mi
kado asked for a mutual treaty. The
original instrument was drafted in
May, 1851, by Daniel Webster, then
secretary Of state, and was signed by
President Fillmore. There it rested.
In November, 1852, Mr.. Webster's sue
Of the departmental ~pigeonholes, took
it to pieces and refashioned it. Three
copies were prepared and were splen-
didly engrossed In English, Dutch and
Chinese. These were inclosed together
in a sumptuous gold case, and to make
the whole presentment still more i'm
pressive to the Japanese mind the gold
case was enshrined in a Golfer Of rose
wood.
The document intrusted to Commo-
dore Perry asked Of the japanese court
two things, friendship and trade-frst
and foremost, friendship. for the safe
ty of our seamen. Many Il hapless
crew had been driven into their ports
by storm or wrecked on thcir rocky
coast, escaping the perils of the deep
only to be welcomed by those truculent
islanders TO II dungeon or Il cage on
shore. This wrong must be stopped ut
all hazards. And if, in addition, we
could persuade Japan to enter into
friendly relations Of trade the two
countries by mutual interchange Of
productions might each promote It's
own prosperity and the welfare of the
other. 1t was thought that orientals
might see that as well as Yankees. In
the end they did. But it cannot be
