Story OF Coal Contract.
During the trip recalled an Incl
dent that set Chairman Alexander
thinking. The local government plant
i refer to the steamers employed in
the river operations On the upper Mis-
sissippi-consume approximately 5000
tons of coal each season. We have
been paying about $1.75 per ton deliv-
cred. Each spring, owing 10 high wa
ter. we are delayed in beginning our
work 4 month or more. 1 learned that
coal could be purchased at lower river
points at a price considerably below
that charged here. 1 made a trip. A
concern at East st. Louis quoted me a
price of $1.10 per ton delivered. That
represented a saving of several thous-
and dollars. My plan was to occupy
the boats and barges and crews during
the high water period in transporting
the seasons supply Of coal to this
point and storing it. The East ST.
Louis concern promised a bid in &C
cordance with the verbally quoted fig
uTe. 1 went so far as to say that be-
lieved the concern would land the
contract and that it could have it as
long as 1t could maintain the price as
against its competitors. 1 prepared an
invitation for bids. 1t was sent to var
ious firms in accordance with the regu-
lations OF the government.
Fails to Send I'm Bid.
Every concern except the one at
East st. Louis was heard from, and
the prices quoted ranged between
S1.3O and S1.75. This stumped me. So
1 made another trip. I called on the
East st. Louis concern and wanted to
know why the failure to make a pro-
posal in accord with our understanding.
l was offered a fiimsy explanation to
the effect that the company was not
then prepared, as it expected to be, to
lay the coal down at the bank owing
to inadequate facilities of delivery. 1
did not have to suggest further to Con-
gresham Alexander the whyfores. He
the influence that had
brought the necessary pressure on the
coal company. The fact is that the
East st. Louis concern could have
made a fair margin of profit on the
coal at the figure quoted me, but you

THE CARNIVAL NUISANCE.

They are snorting in Greenville be-
cause the city council has agreed to
allow carnival company to use the
streets during the fair and there is
talk of taking legal steps to prevent
it. II is clearly illegal for the streets
of any city or town to be let tor prl-
vate purposes such as carnival shows
and any Judge would probably grant
an injunction against it.
The carnival companies have long
ago been barred not only from the
streets of Spartanburg, but from ex-
hibiting on private property even. In
other words they will not be licensed
at all. The people Of Spartanburg
would not tolerate a carnival IN any
shape or form.
There was a carnival company IN
side the fair grounds last year, but
this was so indecent that ought not to
and probably will not be allowed there
again.-Spartanburg Journal.
Newberry is to have carnival, we
are told, sometime in November. We
thought that the experience we had
had with carnivals hretofore that city
council would not again grant license
to one. We do not think the expert
ence Of any town where these carnl-
walls are held would be that they We're
any benefit to the community fnan-
eially, commercially, or in the moral
uplift of that community. We have
seen a good many of them and we do
not recall any thing in any of them
1hat was really calculated to elevate
the moral tone of the community or
in any way uplift the community in
those things which tend to a better
life and better living. But it is done,
we understand. and the carnival IS
coming and the advance agent says
it is clean and morally elevatlng-
nothing to offend in any way.

what is failure!
It's only a spur,
To the man who receives it right.
For it makes the spirit within him

To 90 in once more and fight.
If YOU have never failed it's an even
guess,
Yor never have won high success.
What is a knock-down?

Which a man may take for a rest.

And do his particular best.

What is defeat?
It's the turn Of life's wheel,
That carries us downward and back;
To give US a chance for a greater ad-

Without running off the track.

You never have travelled towards
