A Man asks; "what is the difference
between a coquet and a flirti'
a coquet Is a coquct because she was
born that way, and can Z help IT,. \
flirt Is a flirt with dcliberation, and
intention, and malice af~orethought. \
coquet is the amateur; is the amateur Of
fascination. The flirt is the skilled pro.
fessional. The coquet means no harm
that the flirt does not mean. The co.
quct asks from man but n handful Of
compliments and q few attentions; hut
nothing but his heart Is blood and his
soul satisfcs the flirt.

only one kind Of coquct. but there are

however, have this one trait in com.

something more than that: she wants

does not waste her smiles on mankind

Fielder and BleaSe.
Yorkyille Enquirer.

Although we are still doubtful as
ta the merits of the quarrel between
Governor Blease and Col. Fielder, es-
pecially in so far as is concerned the
truth of the charges each has prefer
red against the other, with the subsl-
uence Of the noise occasioned by the
first exciting discharges in the battle
we are reaching a conviction that the
only safe way for the people of South
Carolina to consider the matter is
calmly and judiciously.
Both Col. Fielder and Governor
Blease have their partisans, and the
partisanship of many of the retalners
Of either side goes to the extent that
they wovuld have their man come out
On top regardless of whether ne IS
right or wrong and others seem to
entertain so much doubt as to the ex-
act probity of either of the parties to
the controversy that they figure on
general principles that neither Will
suffer undeserved consequences no
matter what happens.
There has been vast amount OF
talk and writing about the matters
leading up to the issuance of a war
rant for Fielder and the requlslt1on
proceedings, and there is much differ
enee Of opinion as to how much OF the
governors action is in the line Of
conscientious discharge of duty and
how much of it is buncombe and clap
trap, and these questions We can not
answer except as matter of personal
opinion, which would be of little prac-
tical value.
But there are some things connect
ed with the matter that we do not like,
and which we do not consider at all
ereditable to Mr.. Fielder, and one of
those is his unwiilingness to come to
South Carolina, as required by the
warrant issued by the duly constituted
authorities.
The charge against Mr.. Fielder is
that several years ago he sought to
bribe a State official and that he is
guilty Of conspiracy to cheat and de-
fraud the State Of South Carolina. It
is true that with may people. the
source Of the charges a--d the circUn2-
stances under which they have origi-

FEARS LABOR AND MILL MERGERS
Mr.. Holloway Says in Address at
Edge6eld He Sees Trouble TOR
Farmers of State.

Edsefeld, July 4-The Hon. John
Belton O'Neall Holloway, OF NeWoer-
ry, field lecturer and organizer OF the
Farmers union, spoke here yesterday.
He was greeted by delegates from the
several unions OF the county, and al
the close of the addresses the order
went into executive session, when
REORGANIZATION was perfected and new
officers elected. His address, which
consumed about an hour, was most
forceful. and at times eloquent. He
first dwelt upon the power of organ
lied force, without which no great
movement could accomplish anything.
Mr.. Holloway expressed surprise
and regret that so many mlsJuogeo
Rand misunderstood the real object OF
the Farmers union, and then went INTO
q full discussion Of it's principles anu
purposes. First, its efforts and OIL
fec was to improve the social ana
educational conditions OF the rural
districts. It was not with the order
matter entirely of material and Pc
cuniary gain, but at the very thresn-
old II stood for the higher and better
elements of life, and all of its teach-
ings were based upon the Golden Rule
Again, it taught the lesson OF SELF
nrotection and that Of seizing and
making the most of opportunity. The
employment of economical business
methods in farming was sorely lacking
in the average Southern farmer, and
j. was one Of the purposes of the oroer
to correct this fault. No other ousl-
ness was successfully carried on With
ou+ business system, and neither could
the farm be proftably operated With
out it.
The matter of systematlz1ng the
erops-the classification or grazing Oh
cotton and the procuring of prices
that would give a reasonable and lega-
innate profit were matters to which
Mr.. Holloway also addressed hlmseh.
The two things in which he antlcl-
patea the greatest trouble and injury
r. the farmers of this State.Wa the
secret organization existing among
the negro labor and the present pro-
posed mill merger. He said in many
narts Of the State the laborers on the
farms were demanding hours, and ne
knew of a planter in his county VINO
worked under the ten-hour system
and often, after the hands came TO
the lot with the plough animals cne
employer and his son had to take
Them in charge and attend to tnelr
being fed and put away.
The one reason that he mentioned
#hy the mill merger was against the
an+erest of the farmers was that they
avowed as one Of the reasons tor tne
combine was to cheaper raw cotton.
The address was listened to VITA
marked attention and made deep I'M
preston.

Prohibition is Good
Enough for Maine.

one or the greatest questions in the
history of Maine is soon to be settled
by our voters. And this great question
must be settled outside of political
parties, as men of different denomina-
tons and parties meet in temperance
conventions TO transact business diff
fering in opinion upon a great many
questions, but uniting in sympathy and
sentiment for one great cause, temper
ance, and prohibition, Punishment of
the rum traffic. and safety of our
homes and people, the friends of profri-
bition should keep this question of the
constitutional amendment so complete
iy out of the ranks of parties that men
of all political denominations and creeds
can unite without compromise upon it.
In no town or city will a republican
be forced to gulp down democracy in
order to vote for prohibition Nor
will democrat be forced to take re-
publicanism in order to be prohibi-
ZIONIST. Wherever prohibition is estab-
lished in a city or town and men of
trust who have prohibition at heart
are elected to the positions of mayors,
and aldermen. loafers and dead beats
either move away or go TO work and
rum shops are closed.
There is no longer anv question
among our people as TO whether pro-
hibition prohibits; we know that 1T
does prohibit, not whiskey, simply, but
vice, idleness, ignorance and ALI other
evils which go along with the liquor
traffic. Regarding these as facts let
every voter without regard to party or
politics, feel that he has personal
interest in this matter and on Sept.11
vote to retain the constitutional amend
ment. We will put the liquor problem
in this form, twenty-five snakes run
ming through the streets that is free
whiskey. Twenty-Five snakes gathered
into box in which twenty-five holes
are made by authority of the court
that is low license. Ten of the holes
are closed and the snakes all get
through the other fifteen-that is high
license. Drive all the snakes over to
the next town-that is local option. XIII
all the snakes-that rs prohibition.
