lures Standard oil, beef trust,
coal trust and a hundred private
monopolies, are inficting daily
upon the people.
With his single prophetic eye
this champion of American free
dom from economic shackles can
decry the disaster that the blind
and laundering knaves will not
see. Standing almost solitary
in that wilderness of stratagems
and spoils, with Lincoln-like SIM
plicity and Tillman-like fearless
ness he utters his impressive
forecast of the doom the Ameri-
can judgment holds over the
traitors and of the wreck Ameri-
can wrath will make of their
odious system.
The citizen who is not struck
by the import of the Tillman
message misses the meaning of
the prologue to the most stirring
drama since the War of the
States. New York Press, (Re-
publican.)

The AMERIChE"hfNf"r for eyer
Laid Enough Eggs in 1905. to Nearly
Supply the World.

Secretary Wilson figures that
the American hen last year laid
18 IA dozen eggs for every man,
woman and child in the United
States. 1t would be interesting
to have the figures on the differ
ence between the sum the farmer
got and what the consumer paid
for the product. Washington
Post.
Secretary Wilson is either a
great man at figures or else the
Washington Post is giving him
credit far beyond what he de-
serves. If the statement of The
Post be true, then the Hon. Sec
retary figures that each family of
five souls has an average of 1895
eggs year for every day in the
year. The grand total of the
eggs laid in one year by the
American hen is II, $4,000, and
this is leaving out out insuIar
America, which is inconsiderate,
if not cruel, because the Filipinos
and Porto Ricans are fond of
eggs. -Greenville Daily News.

PROSPECT FOR WHITE SERVANTS.
Servant Problem to be Solyed,,-Cood
News for the .HOusekeepers.

IT is to be hoped that Commits
sloner Watson in the enthusiasm
of his endeavor is not deceived
in his confidence that I'VE will
have much of this servant girl
evil cured oin about six months"
The remark was predatory to a
statemep sP6blished in~The Rec
ord YEA Egeay giving some details
of his effort to .indtfeea class of
in1n1lgrante1ta;c come to this State,
who will be acceptable as house
servants and who will be content
to work for reasonable wages
with other perquisites, we may
say, of such calling. Mr.. Her.
bert is to tour North Ireland for
the purpose of inducing young
women to come to South Caro-
lima and take places as cooks,
house maids and the like. If he
succeeds in his mission they are
to De brought direct to Columbia
via New York or sent to other
sections of the State where their
services may be needed or re-
quested.
Mr.. Watson has certainly
struck popular chord in launch
ing this endeayor, and if he sue
Hceeds in tightening the burdens,
the trials and tribulations of the
good housewives of the State in
only degree in sixteen months
instead of six, as he hopes to do,
every one of them will rise up
and call him blessed. Not only
will he be held as benefactor
worthy of all the good things in
this life, but after he has gone,
and may many years pass before
that inevitable event, they will
rear a monument to him as tes-
timonial of their Indebtedness
and appreciation.
We had never thought before
of the possibilities of Mr.. Wat
sons office in this regard, but
only slight consideration will
show that if reasonable success
is secured in this undertaking he
will have done as much good for
the State almost as would be
done in settling colonies or pro-
viding for the reclamation of
waste lands through foreign la
Dor. For the servant problem is
the most all-pervading, as we'll
as the most exasperating. of all
labor problems, separately or
combined, with which we have
to deal. No only in cities, but
in town and villages and country
neighborhoods the "cullud lady"
servants are becoming more in
dolent and insolent, while their
reliability is as nothing, quality
which has been we'll nigh banish-
ed from their catalogue of vir-
tues, if they may be said to have
any. Yet in present conditions
they are the only available SER
wants and the only remedy is to
substitute white servants for
them. Columbia Daily Record.

The prospects are that we will

practically the stock depleted,
and 1T the farmers will only eXer-
else good common sense and re-
duce their acreage in cotton, in
creasi4g their food products,
there will be no need to hold cot
ton another season for any length
of time, because the world will
be clamorous for it from the
beginning. 1t has been of great
benehtsto me to be able to point
to South Carolina as standing
whoalyby her pledge. 1t is no
idle skeast, nor is it said in the
spirlk Of boast, but rather to show
hes3esponsibility that is upon us
when Ideclare that the eyes of
the aler cotton growing States
are bon us, and South Carolina
this &ear will determine by what
she does, largely the fate of the
Southern Cotton Association.
A LESSON FROM LAST YEAR.
One word before closing this
interview as to the far-sighted-
nessDf some of our people.
Because the mills have bought
suffict& &i.t> cotton to enable them
to stay out of the market for a |
short while, the bears took ad-
vantage of this and began to |
hammer prices. A great many
became frightened and threw
their cotton on the market. The
spectators realizing the strength
of the statistical position of cot
ton, bought the surplus. And
from now on they will reap the
reward of high prices, instead of
those whom it would most bene-
fit.
Surely, after so many repeated
lessons, the people of the South
will learn their strength and not
allow themselves to be made the
servants of the gambling specu-
lators. We will celebrate another
jubilee this year. l sincerely
hope that as many will rejoice at
it as did, last year. when we cele-
brated the ten-cent victory. To
all the cotton growers of the
State, let me make this plea: If
you have not reduced your acre
age, and if you have already pre-
pared it for cotton, let me beg
you as business proposition, as
a good sense proposition; to re-
duce your eotton acreaTes- u,;+L

THE DUTY OF The PRIVILEGED CLASSES.
Crime OF The TCO Rich and Their Rela-
tiOn TO The Working Class,

tl0h 10 Inc Working Class.
Over against the contorteC
picture of society, as it is pre-
sented to us by the socialistit
press, stands the true picture of
actual conditions. And no one,
who is not wilfully blind, car
doubt for moment that the state
of society is largely responsible
for the existence of the carica-
lures thus presented to us. There
never was a caricature without
an original, whom it portrays and
whom it in a measure resembles.
And no one will deny that the
state of our society is capable of
infinite improvement.
The simple life, the moderate
desire of our fathers; the genu-
inc democracy, on which we
prided ourselves in the past the
obedience to law, in which we
boasted !; the exalted patriotism,
which was our crown of glory -
what became of them all? Yes.
they exist, and we praise God for
it, but the predominant impress
sion, made on foreigners, by our
social condition, is largely differ
ent.
There is among us an appalling
egotism, a defiance of law and
principle, a thirst after gold, a
pliability of character, senseless
worship of pleasure, a forgetful-
ness of God, which bode ill for
the future.
Why should a man, who steals
little, be arraigned and punished
as thief, whilst the man, who
appropriates millions from the
public is applauded as prince
of finance?"
Why should the man who
waters the milk he sells, be
amenable to the law, whilst the
same law winks and smiles at the
man who waters his stocks?
Why should the law be appli-
cable to small crimes and little
criminals, whilst the great crimes
are condoned and the great Grim
inals are forgotten or applauded2 3
Why should the poor rralue O

blemishes, which disfigure C, our If
social life and spell i'll for the fu-
ture. They are the very same
mistakes which were made in the
past and which ultimately proved
the undoing of the nations which
tolerated their existence.
The privileged classes owe a
great debt to the poorer classes.
They must set them on example,
they must be absolutely fair to
them, they must defend their
rights even at the cost of their
own. The rich cannot live with
out the poor, nor the poor with
out the rich. So long as human
ity is sinful and the heart COR
rupt, the ideal will never be re-
allied in this world. But where
Christianity sheds it's rays, and
where men profess to be domi-
mated by it's precepts, it has in
eXorable demands, the denial of
which undermines the very foun-
dations of the social fabric.
Where the privileged classes, in
Christian communities, forget
these demands and laugh Gods
law and mans law to scorn, they
dig their own graves and erect
the scaffold of their own punish
ment-Christian Observer.
