Newly Completed Baptist Church 4,
sHn VIlIage nestroxed.

Tie east Side Baptist Church lii
the mill village at McColl. was des-
.troyed By fire night last week.
There had been a prayer service In
the early part OF the night and il lis
thought the fire originated from a
defective nue. This Is a sad loss to
the Bap'ists, who had just recently
finished the church at a cost Of about
$4,000. Fortunately there was about
$1,000 Insurance on the building.
This church was built through the
of Miss II. c.. Carroll, who has
a great work at McColI. I'm
mediatelE steps are being taken to-
rebuilding the church.

Senator TiiIman's Speech.

'~JcNNs' .flH
IF Senator Tillman's speech or
lecture at Orangeburg on the race
question is a fair sample Of his lee
lures throughout the country he
cannot be said to be a stirrer up Of
strife" says the Columbia Record.
HE discussed the subject calmly
and dispassionately, seriously and
forcefulIy. He made very clear what
is apparent to any one who thinks at
all that we Z confronted with q
race question which cannot he set
tied by palliatives. The fact cannot
be blinkcd; it is before us and we
ant get rid of It by shutting our
yes. Whether it is wise to talk
bout it or not, there is a difference
t opinion. If we are to have a So
ition that really solves, we shall be
ompelled to discuss the question, to
iiscuss it sanely and in a way that
,oks to the welfase of both races.
The people of the South are not
responsible for the race question. 1t
a thrust upon them by the North,
having had its birth in the passage Of
the fourteenth and fifteenth amend
nent to the constitution by a sec
tional and partizan congress. From
that day to this there has been in ex-
lstence this question, and it won't
10 to say that because Senator Till
man or anybody else recognizes its
existence he is therefore responsible
for it's being a question. If those
amendments had not been enacted
there would never have been any
race question. and if they we're re-
pealed today we should cease to hear
any talk of it. For what is it that
makes it a race question? Not the
negro as a man but the negro as q
voter, who as long as he remains such
will continue to be a menace.
Senator TiIlman believes in strik-
ng at the root of the evil, and
possibly he is right. Enfranchise-
ment of the negro was a mistake, so
admitted now by the North. The rec
tifying of that mistake would GER
tainly be an %effectual remedy, would
solve for all time the difficult prob
lem. But the trouble is the country.
has gone too far nov in holding to
the mistake to recede. 1t could have
been done twenty or acknowledgements
Ro. n.iove
doubClf IL wouid Ue SAgSdienG TO do
SO now. This, however, is a mere
matter Of opinion that may be er-
roneous.
Upon the whole, we are inclined
to think Senator Tillman's speech
will likely do far more good than
harm, 1t was temperate, far-sight-
ed, and. whether his remedy shall
ever be applied or not, it will tend
to impress ON our people the impor-
lance Of two things: More earnest
efforts in the cause Of education and
the encouragement Of whites to set
tie in the state. While we believe
that the superior intelligence Of the
white man will always rule in South
Carolina. we should at the same time
look ahead and forefend ourselves
against the potency of possible ma
jorities. More and better education
for u people and more settlers are
our present crying needs. With
these. we need have no fear as to the
future"

New Postal Ruling.

The postmaster general has issued
an order, which went into effect on
Jan. |, 1908, which requires publish
ers of all papers to drop from thei,
subscription lists the names of all
subscribers after a specified term
following the expiration Of the time
for which the paper is paid for,
Hereafter publishers Of weekly
newspapers can not carry subscrib-
ers in arrears more than one year,
scmi-weeklies, more than nine
months, ~tri-Weeklies longer than six
months, and dailies longer than three
months.
For each violation the publishers
will be fined l cent for each four
ounces. Since the average newspa-
pers weighs four ounces or less,
each paper sent to a subscriber in
arrcrs for a longer period than in
dicated will cost the publishers 1
cent fine.
The same ruling requires that all
papers sent through the mails as sec
ond class matter must be paid for
and not sent complimentary. The
ruling will .rcvolutionize the newspa.
per business, and will relieve the
postal service of tons and tons OF
Newspaper matter, which is carried
at a very low rate Of postage.

Immediately after the meeting the

OF their activities to the Columbia
office. 1t is hoped that soon arrange
ments can be made to put a number
OF these officers on a regular salary,
but at the present their remunera-
ton consists of fees for work actual
ly accomplished, viz: $40 for each
conviction which they secure, and
81 SO for each nonresident license
they may be the means of collect

Although the law has been in op-
Grafton but a short time, its ~efficien-
cy has already been demonstrated.
In addition to an immense amount
OF educational work. the wardens
have found it necessary to bring
prosecutions in a number of i%nstanc-
es. AS a result of their activities,
convictions have been secured in the
following cases.
Killing quail out Of season, d; dy-
namiting fish, l; hunting without H.
cenSes, d; killing non-game birds, 2.
Eight cases are now pending in the
courts. One warden has DESTROYED
over 30 traps in one stream which
were illegally set for catching fish.
The dynamiting of fish has already
been stopped in many places, and
hundreds of irresponsible people
have been taught that the fish and
game protective laws must be re-
spected. On the faithfulness and ac-

Fence Of such conditions could explain
The great change in the vote in that
county in two years. There was no
iispensary in the county so that it
cannot be charged that it was due to
the efforts Of any officeholders; the
newspapers of the county worked
lard for prohibition; the pastors of
he various churches delivered lee
lures on the subject at points in the
county, and no champion Of the dis
~)ensary's cause appeared on the
stump. On the day of the election
the women Of Union canvassed for
votes and at the polls served lunches
TO the prohibitionists. With such
organized work on behalf Of the pro-
l%ibitionists the only explanation of
heir defeat is the statement of the
correspondent at Union that the vot-
RS had decided that in as much as
liquors were being sold all through
he county they might as we'll con-
.rol the sale of it and derive the rev.
MUG from it."

Blind Tigers the Cause.

Sometime before the election in
Union County on the liquor question,
which came off last Friday week ago.
the correspondent Of The News and
Courier at Union predicted that the
dispensary would win. The cores
pondent said that the county was
carried for prohibition by such q
'argc majority in 1905 the people
were anxious to give it a trial but
that since that time innumerable
blind tigers had been doing business

grcss toward system under which
the tariff will be levied for the pur-
pse OF revenue and limited to the
needs of the government The low
tariff law of 1S46 did not produce u
panic; on the contrary, Il was so
satisfactory that when the Republican
party wrote its first platform 10 years
afterward the protective principle was
not endorsed.
The Democratic party has declared
for an income tax as part of the
revenue system, and for a constitu-
tional amendment as Il means OF Sc
curing this tax. Secy. Taft announces

Congress ought to have authority TO

The whole aim of our party is to

OF an income tax will make taxation
still more equitable. If the Republi-

private asset In their business, we
ought 10 have the support of that large

WAGES AND LABOR.
The third proposition which the pro-
tertionists must establish, namely. that
the tariff asked for is necessary, Is stiIl
less considered II Is true that we
pay higher wages per day than are
paid elsewhere, but that does not nee
e9sariiy mean that the actual labo,
cost OF an article is higher here than
abroad. on the contrary the rule is
that high priced labor produces a
cheaper article than low-priccd labor.
