WILL SOON BEGIN WORK
Paving . Part of Russell Street With
Vitrified Brick.

Within a few days plans and specl-
flcations will be ready for contractors
to make bids for paving q part OF
Russell street. AS soon as they are
completed bids will be called for
and the work will then be commenc-
ed in a short time. The City Council
after discussing the relative cost
of putting down the brick on a sand
cushion or concrete base, requested
City Engineer Hawes to get up speci-
fications for the work, using q sani
cushion in the main part of the
work and concrete base at the in
tersection Of the streets and on the
public squares. There being just
about sufficient money on hand to
nut down the brick paving on the
sand cushion and concrete base at
street intersections from corner OF
Broughton and Russell streets up
Russell street to the corner%of Doyle
and Russell streets, the City Council
has resolved to do that part Of the
work at once. It has been decided
not to put the pavement down over
the entire Pultic square at present,
but that the width OF the street Will
be paved through the square.
We are sorry that the money -
lacking to pave the entire square.
It is needed and we hope the whole
square will. be paved as soon as the
funds are available for the puropss'
Let us have complete job.

PAYMENT OF SALARIES.
Important Ruling in Reference to
Calhoun County Officials.

Comptroller General Jones now
has before him an. interesting ques-
ion as to the payment Of salaries
Of the auditor and treasurer of Cal.
houn county for 1908. The general
assembly, after fixing the salaries
If these officials at S1.0s0 per yeal
each. appropriated $500 each for ths
present year, $500 to the paid by
the State and $500 to be paid by the
county.
The comptroller general holds.
that although this is the appropril.
ton, the legislative act provides tha,
salaries be paid monthly and as the
officers referred to did not go in until
tIe latter part of May they are only
entitled to pay from that date and
not for previous moths. AS 5000 7
year would amount to SIS per month
his would mean about $3.50 reduc.
ton should his point be sustained.
Mr.. Jones says that otherwise pres
ent officers could go in December and
draw the full $500 for one month
The case will be brought into the
court, which we believe will sustain
he ruling of Mr.. Jones. We can't
see on what grounds officials CLAIM
pay for work they never performed,
which seems to be the case with these
officials. The mere fact that the
legislature has appropriated the mon
ey is no reason why it should be
paid out except for value received
in return.

PUTTING IN THE SEWERAGE.
Those Who Do Work Will Not Get
Rich.

We have heard great deal of
complaint from time to time as to
the cost of putting in sewerage in
the homes. Some people seem to be
under the impression that the cost
IF the material and labor amount
to very little, and that very nearly
the whole amount paid to the com
tractor is clear pick up on their
part. This is a mistake. After pay
ing for the material and labor on q
job the contractor has not a great
deal left, as a little figuring will
prove to any one. 1t takes a guam
tity of material and the labor en-
ployed is Of the most expert kind.
You don't need any other kind to
put in your sewerage.
Recently we contracted with Mr..
J. W. Smoak to put In a sewerage
system in our home. While the
work was being done we noticed
closely the amount and kind Of ma
terial used in the work. We also
observed the manner in which the
work was done and the time 1t took
an expert plumber to do 1t. When
we considered the cost Of all these
things we became thoroughly con-
vinced that no contracting plumber
would get rich on the work he would
do in Orangeburg. While the job
cost great deal, we are sure that
the charges were reasonable, and
that the same work could not be
done for less in the manner in which
it was done when the quantity Of
material used and the class of labor
employed is considered.
The work was done by Mr.. Chas.
W. Spangler under the supervision
of Mr.. J. w. Mason, who Is the ef-
ficient manager of Mr.. Smoak's
plumbing department. Mr.. SpaNe,.
gave us a nice job, the work being
thoroughly and neatly done. He
understands his business, and when
he does piece Of work it is done
right. Mr.. Mason himself is an
expert in the plumbing line, and ie
a most courteous an d pleasant gentle
man to deal with. All you have to
do is to tell him what you want and
he will map 1t. out better for you than
you can for yourself. We commend
Mr.. Smoak to all who need any
plumbing DONE He uses nothing but
'first-class material and workmen, and
can give you the best kind of job
at as reasonable price as such work
can be done.

LABOR's STAND IN CAMPAIGN
Gompers Says That the Unions Are
Partisans to Principle.

"In performing the solemn duty
at this time In the support Of po-
litical party, labor does not become
partisan to the political party, but
partisan to- principle" declared
President Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor, in a circular
issued regarding labor's attitude In
the campaign. He charged that the
Republican party and the candidats
stand for further extending into the
country the despotic government
vested in the judiciary and the DEM
ocratlc party and It's candidates stand
for government by law vested in the
people.
The circular is addressed to Men
of Labor, Lovers of Human Liberty"
and says in part: "The judiciary,
induced by corporations and trusts,
and protected by the Republican
pa3sy, is step by step destroying
governmest by law and substituting
therefor government by judges who
determine what in their opinion 8
wrong, what is evidence, who Is gull
tv, AMI what the punishment shall
be. This revolution is depriving
workers of their rights as citizens,
and will inevitably be made apple.
able to the business men later.
Virus in person has in several in
stances entered upon the legislative
field by making laws which may b.
enforced BY the equity process. The
despotic power under the ermine is
as dangerous as the despotic power
under the crown"

Sensible Suggestion.

The Johnson News-Monitor offers
this good advice: Either run q
town with vim, or just sell out and
loaf. One thing must be done
run the town for all that it is worth,
get up steam and keep it up. Do
you want trade, Bid for 1t. Do you
want business to come to your town:
Advertise. Do you want prosper
Gus town? Then do not let petty
icalousies rule your action, but all
work together for common prosperity
and mutual benefit.

GLAD TO BtT BACK
SOUTH CAROLINA is A SWEET
PARODISE

Compared to Springfield, Illinois,
Said an Old Colored Woman Who
Is Coming Back.
At the union depot, Sunday az
ternoon, waiting for q. train to
Augusta, was negro woman who
was on her way to some point In
South Carolina, says the Macon,
Ca. Telegraph.
While in the waiting room she
fell to talking to some of the NE
groes in the room with her, and
from the conversation it was learned
that she was from Springfield, III.
and was returning to her old South
Carolina home.
She said that seven years ago her
people went to Springfield, because
they had been assured that the ne
gro was more respected in that Sec
tion of the country, and had every
right that white people had. The
children went to the same school,
they ate at the same restaurant,
that there was no Jim Crow cars
and that there was no distinction in
anything on account of color. She
said that to some extent they fouad
this to be true, but there was no
real mixing of the races otherwise.
and they kept to themselves. They
found that while it might be under
stood that there was no distinction,
and that the white women called
negro woman Mrs So-and-so, there
was no such thing as calling socially.
and but for the fact that they were
there and could not get away they
would have returned.
In the recent trouble in Spring
field the negroes were treated worse
by the whites than they ever were
in the South, and every negro who
could sell out and move was leaving.
This woman was threatened with
whipping and her own family were
compelled to leave. She does not
know where they went, because In
the confusion there was no stop
ping and hunting for kinfolks. She
only knows that before the sepa-
ration they all wanted to go bacS
to South Carolina, and she was go
ing there, knowing that II alive they
will sooner or later meet her there.
She said that down South, in
South Carolina, or elsewhere, the
mob went after the one negro. In
Springfield they went after the whole
bunch. In the South, she said, the
negro had rs good chance to live
in safety and peace az anybody, 80 in
springfield they were not only after
the bad ones, but the good ones, too.
No negro was safe, and she had
noticed that this feeling against the
negro was growing stronger every
year. She predjctes that in few
years there will be separate schools
for whites and negroes all over the
West and North
South Carolina was a paradise
to the West for the negro, she said,
but the fool negro didn't know it
until he spent all his money get'sDg
away, as he could not get bach.
One old negro woman sitting IN
the waiting room, who has been
listening to the talk In silence, threw
up her hand and rolled her eyes up
ward and exclaimed: "Aint dat
de trufe."
