An Object Lesson in Figures, Showing
How the Wilson Bill Killed the
Industry.

AS the Bulletin pointed out last
week the Bryanites have begun their
efforts to capture the votes Of the
wool growers BY assuring them that
the prosperity Of the ~wool-raislng in
dustry Is depenant upon Democratic
success. It Is the same old Siren
song that has been heard at the In
auguration Of every national campaign
Id the past quarter Of q century. On
one occasion It was listened to, and
the ship OF state vas swept on the
shoals 81 the Wilson-Gorman tariff.
How the wool growers Jared under
that law, which went into effect il

Nortbern Italians Desirable.

: -
Asamigraticn is a live issue
and is Being discussed to some ex-
tent in this county, it will be OF
interest to see what Senator Till
man says incidentally upon the
immigration question. In a re-
cent letter which mas been pub
lished III the daily papers, Sena-
tor .Tillman in writing of the
Itsliaus has the following to say:
sHaving myself been very pro-
uounced in expressing the idea
that Italians were undesirable
immigrants for South Carolina, a
sense of justice compels me to gay
that having watched the people OF
Italy with that very question in
view I still feel that the people OF
NAPLES aid those Of Southern
Italy whom 1 saw at Salerum an d
Postum lie not the type We would
like to have. From Rome north
ward the impression made on me
is entirely favorable and | feel
sure that if we could get any OF
the Northern Italians into the
Southern States they would make
good citizens and help in every
way to. assist the white race IN
solving the race problem"

DR.. D. A. J. Bell Replies to an
Editorial in The Edgefield
News.
Editor Edge6eld Advertiser;

Editor Edge6eld Advertiser:
(I have sent the following open
letter to The Edgefeld News):
I notice that you say in last
issue of The News: "Will some
kind friend explain to certain
men in and around Parksville,
that conference of best clti-
zens' to put out Legislative pro-
hibltion or Anti-Saloon League
ticket is no better than a caucus
of undesirable citizens assem-
bled for the same purpose? We
would like to explain Iurther,
that there is no difference between
the two. They are one and the
same. People had as we'll face the
music and not quibbis. Nor
should they try to put The blame
on others. The best citizens of a
community will not do such a
thing. If no Que else will explain
the m,tter, Tho News can do so."
I confess that | do not und ar
stand this editorial from your
immaculate pen, nor have | seen
any one who does; but if you
mean tosay that there has been a
"caucus" or conference" of the
citizens of Parksvills, or else
where 40 to that matter, believe
il to be absolutely false.
We have a candidate for the
legislature, on prohibition ticket,
from Parksville, who has the
character. the manhood, the back
bone, to say SO. And if there has
been caucus or conference"
anywhere, it is not within my
knowledge. Now, if The News be-
lieves in liquor or blind tigers,
let it have the manhood to say so,
and demand that The News ''put
up" or "shut up"
You say "we must not quibble," F"
nor do I intend to. If liquor is a
good thing, or you think so, for
your community, have the man
hood to say 81, but do not try, by
insinuation OF inuendo, to be-
smirch those who see evil III it..
You say you cat explain and you
must do SO, proving your charges
Ike epy other fair, brave. south
ern gentlemen, or else stand as
a self-convicted slanderer.
Respectfully.

Three Connie Maxwell Orphan
age Girls Win Winthrop
Scholarships.

Greenwood, Aug. 8 1T would
be difficult to give picture of the
excitement that reigned for a
while at Connie Maxwell orphan
age when a paper camo Wednes-
day giving q list of the young
ladies who had won scholarships
in Winthrop college for the COM
ing year.
Three of the young ladies from
the orphanage stood examinations
for these scholarships in July and
they were all successful. Miss
Ida e Robertson, who graduated
from Connie Maxwell orphanage
q year ago, and has since that
time been stenographer and book
keeper at the orphanaga, stood
the examination in Spartanbur
her native county. Miss Jennie
Neil went to Greenville and Miss
Pauline White to Edgefeld, where
they stood examinations. 1t is q
remarkable attestation to the
thoroughness of the school work
of this fine institution that these
young ladies should have done 30
splendidly and that they should
have won their prizes over such
formidable competitors "a they
met in these various counties.
When tho news came the bells
rang and the children shouted
and everybody felt good. The
young ladies are receiving con-
gratulations en- every hand and
they surely merit all the good
wishes that are being expressed
for them.
(The foregoing achievements Of
the young ladies from the Connie
Maxwell orpbanaga serve TO show
how thoroughly the children of
the institution are taught, and
should encourage tho3e who have
