A Few Evidences
 Of Arizona's Progress

A better evidence that Arizona is prosperous could not be turnis ed than the fact that newspapers are constantly springing up, and tho e well established installing modern presses and adding to their facilities for additional news service and better papers.
 The Tucson Daily Star has become inoculated with the spirit of progres- siseness, and on yesterday morning produced A 10000 edition of 24 page pager, overstepping the bounds of Arizona newspaper publication by sey- ersl pages. The publication IS replete in mechanical detail. the pages throug ghout interspersed with local advertising, and the columns teemIng with we'll prepared matter of general interest 10 the public. Its editorial department covers wide scope, its utterances parteLiCg unmistakably after the Jeffersonisn principle. The paper shoSs that amsster mind con- trols its destinies, and were it not ths, Billy Kelly is so modest we:.would give hIm credit for the entire putli- cation.

 weekly papers in Arizona, is about tC quicken it's gait and enter the dsil,

 One of the joys of being a patient and uncomplaining newspaper man was experl- enced by a California editor upon the occasion of the loss of the steamer Columbia. A woman whose son was aboard the lost ship requested the ed itor to find out if her son was among the lost or saved, the mother being apparently Tn a terrible strain. The editor went to the expense of wiring and getting reply sent "col lect." The news was spread over the front page Of the local paper, with headlines almost as big as the side Of a barn. but in the excitement oi the moment the editor got tn e young mans initials wrong. Shortly after the pa per had been placed in the hands of readers the editor's telephone rang and the irate voice of the recently heart broken mother came over the line like this; Whats the matter with you newsf ape men anyway? You got my sons initlal wrong in that headline. It's a wonder you wouldn't do things right once in a while"
 And this was the earthly re- ward of the man with pencil and paste who sought to bring joy to a suffering homei

WITHIN THE TOWN.

The election on the question OF ex-
empting new manufacturing enter
prises from taxation is to be held to-
morrow week. June 26. There has
been very little talk about the mat
ter and as yet there are no indica-
tions that there will be a great deal
of interest. So long, however, as the
town continues to hold it's tax assess
ment down to about the same figures,
no matter how extensive the property
additions may be, 1t does not seem
that there is very much use for the
people to put themselves in position
where they would be unable to regu-
late matters even If hey should be-
come a mind to.
The people Of Yorkville were very
much shocked yesterday afternoon to
learn of the sudden death Of Mrs.
Mary C. Gordon, wife of Mr.. John F.
Gordon. Mrs. Gordon was stricken
with fever on June 10. She had been
feeling badly for some days previous;
but took her bed on that day, and
showed very little signs Of improve
ment until Sunday, when she appeared
to be very much better. A change for
the worse, however, came on sudden
ly yesterday and the end came within
a few hours. Mrs. Gordon was a
daughter Of Mr.. Frank H. Youngblood,
and was married to her husband on
January IL, 1888. At the time OF her
death, she was aged thirty-seven years
and seven months. She Is survived
by q sorrowing father. heart-broken
husband and the following brothers
and sisters: w. T. Youngblood, John
F.. Youngblood. r. L. Youngblood
Ches j. Youngblood. Mrs. ]. F. Allison
of Kings Mountain. Miss Mamie
Youngblood of Atlanta, and three half
sisters, Misses Maude. Ella and Agnes
The deceased had hosts Of friends, who
admired her most for her loveable
character, the most striking features
of which were her strong convictions
of Christian duty, and her practical
applications of those convictions. Her
home was one Of the most delightful
hospitality, and her many friends new
er failed to find welcome. Her char
ity-practical charity-also seemed
unbounded. The funeral services are
to take place in the Presbyterian
church this afternoon at 4 o'clock, and
will be conducted by Rev. f. E. Giles
Die, assisted by Rev. w. C. Ewart
The interment will take place In the
Yorkville cemetery.

Clemson Colleqe.

The Greenville News in a recent edi-
torial speaking of the splendid future
for Clemson college, along with many
other good things said that the COL
lege was one of the best in the state.
The Yorkville Enquirer takes him TO
task and cites as one of the best evil
dences that the college is not all that
is claimed for 1t by the GreenVille
News. the fact that it has practically
no students from outside the state.
We are surprised at our YorkVille
brother. Does he not know that some
thing like two hundred South Carolina
boys are turned away from Clemson
annually, for the simple reason that
they can not be accommodated. 1t is
not the policy of the college to admit
students from other states. and II
would not be very consistent to do so,
when hundreds of South Carolina boys
are knocking at her doors in Vain.-
Abbevile Press and Banner.
We are quite we'll aware that a good
many South Carolina boys have been
turned away for lack of accommoda-
tions. We are quite we'll aware also,
that the advantages Of Clemson are in
very large demand because of the COM
paratively small cost. There Is no
doubt of the fact that because of this,
hundreds of boys who would not 9TH
erwise be able to get to college are
enabled to go through this institution
to their incalculable advantage. But
If Clemson were up to the standard OF
other colleges that could be mentioned,
Wofford, Erskine, Furman, those who
are annually turned away for lack of
accommodations at such small cost
would include many students from
other states

THE ATHENS DIsPENsARY.
Its Former Sponsor Is at Last Disap-
pointed.


We suppose II will be recalled that
Senator b. R. Tillman got his original
dispensary notions from the Hon. I.
Larry CAN'T, a stray member of the
Georgia nobility. who came to South
Carolina when he was sadly needed In
1891, Col. CAN'T having lived at Ath-
ems. Ga, where the first dispensary In
the United States started out on its
poisonous career.
Col. CAN'T has gone back to old
'Georgy" and Is running under whip
and spur a newspaper in that same
town Of Athens where the original dis
pensary Is still engaged in doing dam
age and business to the community.
Perhaps 1t may be Of interest to Lau-
rens people to know what Col. CAN'T
now thinks of the dispensary and the
following is clipped from his dazzling
and frantic newspaper:
Take our Athens dispensary for ex-
ample. There Is sold at that institu-
ton vile medicated decoctions, public
ly. advertised to incite the very crimes
that lead to lynch law, and the sale Of
which stuff Is boosted by the distri-
button Of the most suggestive and OBJ
scene pictures, distributed among ne
gro patrons Of the tank. We are over
whelmingly in favor Of the bill pro-
posed by Congressman Hardwick, and
would like to see the next legislature
enact II into a law. 1t Is exactly on
the right line. Make 1t a penitentiary
offense to supply a negro with whis-
ky, and IL such sale Is made through
dispensary punish the employees
handing out the stuff. Take whisky
from the darkey, and the so-called race
issue Is at that moment solved, and
our farmers will have the best class Of
labor the world ever knew. You can
make something Of a sober negro, but
might as well try ind manufacture a
silk purse out of a sow's ear as to
mould anything but a vagabond and a
blackhearted criminal from one Of
those drunken, whisky soaked niggers.
There Is no crime in the decalogue
that he will not commlt."-Laurens
Advertiser.

WHAT about ]. S. Brice for the
United States senate? II a good
clean man is what the people want
they might go great deal further
and fare worse.-Yorkville Enquirer.
Brice, Brice, where have we seen
that name before?-Sumter Herald.
We suggest a search in the files OF
the Herald and of other papers that
stood for the perpetuation Of the state
dispensary system as against the prin-
ciple of local self-government. They
will find that the gentleman referred
to, is the man who did so much to put
an end to the rottenness that then eX-
listed But it is hardly surprising thai
the Herald has forgotten the name
The work that Mr.. Brice did was not
for his political benefit; but only fol
South Carolina. He stood only fol
principle. He is not now a candidate
for any office and there is no reason
able probability that he will be. But
as previously remarked if it is a good
clean man that is wanted for this
place. the people might go a good dea
further and fare worse.

James ]. Hill, late president Of the
Great Northern Railroad company and
one of the leading financiers Of the
country, startled Wall street last
Thursday by declaring that the
United States government ultimately
will be forced to lend it's credit to A.
nance the needs Of the railroads Of the
country This may yet lead to the
government ownership of railroads.
Mr.. Hill Is plain, blunt, practical
business man and never says anything
until he has something to say and
when he says anything he gives the
impression that he knows what he Is
talking about. Not long ago he made
the unqualified statement that the
railroads of this country would find 1t
necessary to spend the enormous sum
Of $1,100,000.000 a year for the next
five years to put themselves in posi-
ton to do the business of the coun-
try. Credit of the railroads has been
ruined during the past few months.
and that they are in a hole that they
can't get out Of. The railroads cannot
handle the business offered them and
IL the business cannot be handled,
then production will have to stop and
when production Is stopped there will
be bowling from the public. 1.-The
public will demand the laying Of more
rails" says Mr.. Hill, "and add more
cars and to this the railroads will re-
II, lAt 1xy
OF lack of funds and this will lead to
the necessity of the government step
ping in and lending it's credit to the
railroads to supply the deficiency, and
that situation might lead to govern
ment ownership.
