When, oh when will the railroad give
as new freight warehouse?

Does your gate open on the sidewalk?
If 80, have 1t changed at once and thus
save yourself and council trouble. Don't
put it off.
Now is the time to organize business
league. Somebody ought to start the
work of organization. There is much
work for such body to do.

Our citizens are all practically agreed
as to the great benefits to be derived by
the town from a cotton warehouse. That
being the case why not build it?
~
The aid and cooperation of people all
over the county is needed to erect the
monument to our Confederate dead. 1t
is q work in which the whole county
ahould be interested.

The suggestion of our Denmark cores
pondent as to legislative candidates is
most excellent one, but Mr.. Virgins
should run for the house before he aspires
to the senate. We trust strong men will
be induced to stand for election as rep
resentatives.
We understand that the people Of this
town raised in cash and good subscrip-
tions about $1,000 towards erecting a
Confederate monument at this place. The
monument will cost about LOO. Surely
the balance of the county can raise 800
to finish this patriotic undertaking.

The latest report from Washington is
that the railroads will attempt to defeat
Senator Tillman for reelection. The in.
formation is said to have come in letter
from Detroit. This evidently is joke,
for if there was any doubt of Tillman's
reelection to the Senate, he would only
need the opposition of the railroads to
make his success certain. No matter
what the conditions are in other States,
the railroads do not rule South Carolina
by large majority.
~
It is an off day in the Senate when
Senator Tillman is not on his feet several
times. Much speaking has weakened his
influence.-CarolinaS Spartan.
This is true of every man who talks
too much, either in public or private life.
Many men who seemed to have promising
political careers have been laid on the
shelf in this State simply because they
were given to much public speaking.
Instances of this kind frequently happen
in the legislature, for in no place is much
talking more dangerous than in a law
making body.
"a. Some Of our citizens are in favor OF
purifying the primary system, and the
idea of requiring the same qualifications
for voting in the primary as in the gen.
eral election is gaining strength. 1t is
likely that this question will come before
the county convention soon to be held.
We can see no harm in this. No white
man would be debarred the privilege of
voting and it would prevent many Of the
irregularities which now prevail in the
primary. This change in the primary
law is being advocated by many of the
staunchest Reformers of few years ago.

C. W. Creighton has written in his
paper an article giving what he claims
are the facts of the recent sessions of the
committee which investigated the charges
against him. The littleness and mean
ness displayed in the article, to say moth
ing of his contemplate insinuations
against the presiding officer and members
of the committee, stamp him as man
who is totally unfit to preach the gospel.
Mr.. Creighton had stenographer pres
ent at all sessions of the committee and
stated that he would publish every line
of testimony taken. But we bet he won't
do it. He dare not print the plain, un-
vanished record.
What is the matter with Southern
Methodist Bishops? 1t is said that four
