The Day Of the Bazaar.

Next Wednesday, the 9th, will be
the day Of the Kings Daughters Ba-
Ear, which is to be held for the benefit
of the hospital. A great deal of beau
tiful fancy work will be on sale. A
delicious turkey dinner will be served,
and in the evening a 'possum supper.
The Bazaar will be much on the order
of the Bazars which have been given
by the ladies of the Presbyterian and
Methodist churches for several seasons
past, but will only last one day.

"An UneduCated Educator"

The war between Governor Ansel
and State Superintendent of Education
Martin, of South Carolina, has called in
a pettish declaration by Mr.. Martin
that he will not be state superintendent
of education any more.
1t seems that in our good old sister
state they have a state board of educa-
ton; that the state superintendent of
education is a member of the board,
and that the governor has a right to
fill vacancies on the board.
Some time ago a vacancy occurred
upon the board, and to fill it the COVER
nor made an appointment, w%hereupon
MIR. Martin made quite an ill-tempered
attack upon him, because his excel
lency had not consulted him in the mat
ter. In a courteous way the governor
Informed Mr.. Martin that the law de-
volved the duty of filling vacancies up
on the executive, and in no wise re-
CURED him to consult anyone in the
premises. This soft answer did not turn
away the wrath of the superintendent,
who continued to scold; but, as it takes
two to make a quarrel, and the COVER
nor declined to scold back, that par
ticular affair came to an end.
Now another vacancy has occurred,
and again Gov. Ansel, in pursuance of
his duty, has filled it, and again State
superintendent of Education Martin
has attacked the executive in O. letter
of much acerbity for presuming to act
without consulting him. In point of
literary execution this letter affords
ample indication that the state superin-
tendent of education would be none the
worse for some lessons in rhetoric and
the rules of composition; but, passing
over these subjects, the great point it
presents is that Mr.. Martin shows him
self hardly a proper person for the DO
sition he occupies.
An unfailing respect for the law of
the land, and an unquestioning obedi-
ence to duly constituted authority, are
the main pillars upon which public or
der and good government rest, and
when a state superintendent of educa-
ton, in an official communication, as
perses the governor of his state as
"small-minded, officious and PERM
%cious," speaks of him as needing a
mustard plaster, and denounces his APP
pointee as ambitious, amphlbious, am
bidextrous, ubiquitous and indetermin-
ate" such unciVil and incendiary CON
duct is of very i'll example to the youth
of the state. The great object of all
public educators is to make good citi-
zens, but mutiny against and abuse Of
duly constituted authority is an ex-
tremely poor course of instruction to
this end.
Happily, however, Superintendent
Martin, announces, as stated, that he
will not be superintendent of education
any more. With the logic of a spoiled
child, he declares that, as he cannot
"run" the state, he will not play in the
states backyard Augusta Chronicle.

furthermore said that 3 years ago he

A CONSERVATIVE BUSINESS SENATOR.

We have been considerably impressed
with the accommodating strength of
Senator Latimer lately. There is no
practical disagreement between the
Senator and THE ADVERTISER on the
immigration question, for the simple
eason that there is no objec-
ton to the Senator's opposing the adj
mission of immigrants who won't come
and whom we can't get. Therefore it
is nothing but good politics for Sena-
tor Latimer, Congressman Patterson
and Gen. Bolton Watson and others to
make all the capital out of an empty
issue that they can, and the discussion
of which is perfectly harmless.
But there is much in Senator Lati-
mer that appeals to conservative peo-
pie of whom THE ADVERTISER is one of
the most radical spokesman. The Sena-
tor is a highly successful business man,
and it is a good thing for the state to
have in the Senate a man who has a
substantial property interest in the
country. A Senator who has securi-
ties, who has lands and stocks, is not
likely to vote for mad projects Of Popu-
lists, and he is not likely to indulge in
the furious v~ituperation against vested
interests that renders Senator Tillman
a professional agitator, so dangerous
not only to the prosperity of his own
state, but of all the states. On the
whole, Senator Latimer is an admira-
BILE countercheck to the wild terror
which Tillman spreads whenever he
opens his mouth, and this is because
the junior Senator knows the value of
a dollar properly invested, and there
fore has the a of the monied inter
ests of the country. Thus the quiet,
digniiied Latimer, who rarely takes up
the time of the Senate with appeals to
the galleries, but who skilfully works
for appropriations for road building
and swamp drainage, is just the kind
of a nan we need to undo the damage
that the Tillmans are constantly work
ing. This, we suppose, is why Till
man and Latimer are not supposed to
get on together as little birds should in
the same snug nest. Were it not for
the junior Senator, we doubt if the cot
ton mills of South Carolina would have
a sympathetic friend in the American
Senate, and they are entitled to repre-
s~entation as much as are other corpor-
atoms.
Another thing in favor of Senator
Latimer is that he stands in with the
President. Senator Tillman, be it re-
membered, does not speak to President
Theodore Roosevelt when the two meet
in a Washington street car. A state,

THE CONFIDENCE IN THE MILLIKENs.

Great trouble has been experienced
in banking circles in New York during
the last ten days. Spectators in cop
per mines and steamboats, who had
bought stock in banks and so became
directors of them borrowed heavily
from the banks-themselves being the
directors. Their copper went down in
value and so the people lost confidence
in the banks, the copper stocks being
the security for the loans of these men,
made to themselves. One of the banks
that was in danger was the "Mercan-
tile. 1t got in such deep water that
its officials had to resign. They were,
or some of them We're, copper spcula-
tors and they were abusing their posi-
tions in the banks and taking advantage
of the other stock. holders and of the
depositors. Our old friend, Mr.. Seth
M. Milliken, is interested in this bank.
He has a great name as a safe and
sane merchant in New York and is look
ed upon as the loftiest type of a high
toned gentleman merchant, an opinion
which is much heightened by the knowl-
edge of the people that his ~money-pile
is about as high as the average mans
potato bank. Thereupon Mr.. Seth M.
Milliken became the president of the
bank, his son becoming a director and
everybody has faith in it now on ac-
count Of the faith hat is had in the
Millikens.

Mills was selling it's goods through a
gents who charged two per cent COM
mission, having abandoned the Milliken
firm which charged A at one time 43.
The Millikens obtained control of the
stock, bounced the management, gave
the selling account to themselves again
and now, though as directors of the
mill they are trustees Of the stock-hol-
ders, they are charging twice the COM
missions that the Watts Mills, the Waro
Shoals Mills, the Grendel Mills, the
Bolton Mills, the Ninety-Six Mill and
a score of others mills perhaps are pay
ing their agents. The Millikens are
doing this, in our opinion, not only in
defiance of good morals but in defiance
of law and could be stopped if any of
the minority stockholders cared to spend
the money necessary to test it in the
courts.
Now the Millikens, mind, are pat
terms of mercantile goodness in New
York and yet New York wonders why
the South no longer consents to New
York dictation in politics and business.

COMPANIES DENY ANY =
CHARGES OF CONSPIRACY

NEW YORK, June 22.-LOcal repre-
sentatives of the big foreign steamship
companies accused of conspiracy in
restraint of trade in charges submitted
to the Interstate Commerce commits
sion by the Cosmopolitan Steamship
company, defend their respective COM
panies and deny the charges. Emil L..
Roas, agent and manager of the HAM
burg American Line, which With the
North German Lloyd Line is charged
by Peter Wright & Sons of Philadel-
phia, agents of the Cosmopolitan COM
pany, with being the head of the al
legged monopoly, says that notorlety
seeking plays some part in the charges
being made.
1--WE opened UP service to Baltimore
and Philadelphia at the urgent sollcl-
tation of the merchants and the rail-
roads. and we have kept them open
whether we were making anything or
not" he said.
Gustav Schwab, general manager OF
the North German Lloyd line, Will not
saw much publicly on the matter, but
thinks that the inference conveyed Is
an attempt to arouse feeling against
foreign steamship lines"
Manager Sanderson, of the Wilson

is based upon exceedingly inaccurate
reports.
Paul Gottheil, manager of F'unch,
Edge & Co, freight agents for the

of the accused, says that the amount
of business which that line does at
almost ruinous rates disproves the

TO INCREASE FACILITIES
PoslOffIce Department contemp|at
ing Changes

WASHINGTON, June 22.-Of the
50. 900 postoffices in the country at any
one of which registry business may be
transacted, only $4,000 inclusive of
1000 stations, are authorized to do
money order business. While doubling
the feasibility of extending money or
der facilities to all postoff1ces, Post
master General Meyer, to meet as far
as practicable the needs of the bust
ness public and promote it's conven-
fence in the transmission of money
through the mails, today issued the
following order.
"In furtherance of the scheme of
this department to promote public con-
venience, it has been decided to ma
terially extend the advantages now Of
fered by the postal money order sys-
tenn as a means of safely transmitting
money through the mails, by the es-
adjustments of money order services
at many postoffices not now author
lied to transact such business.
Recognizing the fact there is a de-
mand on the part of the public for
this extension, the department expects
to be aided in carrying out it's policy
in this respect by the earnest cooper
alton of it's employees and of postmast-
ers and all others connected in any
way with the postal service.
st must be understood that the de-
partment will not brook interference
on the part OF its officers or employees
with the policy above outlined, and it
is enjoined upon all connected with
the service to use effort to promote the
use of postal money orders for remit
+ance by mail.
Failure on the part Of any post
master or postoffice employe to adhere
to the requirements of this order Will
endanger the official position of the
delinquent. Failure to subscribe there
to on the part of any applicant for a
position as postmaster will practically
void his chance for appointment"
