tition of AbbeTille Huguen0ts.

Columbia, July Ex-Governor Blease
said today that he regretted his inabil-
ity to afford any relief to the ancient
French Huguenot community of Bor-
deaux, in lower AbbeVille county, from
which he had received an appeal for
State aid, the crops of the petitioners
having been ruined by a hail and wind
storm July 3.
The names signed to the communi-
cation show very strikingly how the
French families have clulg to the set
tlement of their forefathers. Nearly
all of the thirty-four names are
French, such characteristic names as
Moragne, Bouchillon, Guillebeau, Cade,
Cowan and Douthard. Individual los
ses are reported as varying from $500
to $4,000.

ORDERS RAIDS AND ARRESTS.
Governor Blease Writes Union Sheriff
on Near-Beer Situation.

Columbia, July 19.-On seeing a
newspaper statement that Union had
nine near-beer saloons in operation
under licenses issued by Mayor T. G..
Duncan, Governor Blease wrote to-
day letter to Mr.. J. G. Long, sheriff
of Union county, directing him to raid
at once every establishment claiming
to do business under such license.
The governors letter was as fol-
lows:
Mr.. J. C. Long, Sheriff, Union Coun-
ty, Union, S. C.-Dear Sir: Any near
beer license appearing in any place
in your city or county is prima facie
evidence that the party is selling near
beer, in violation of the law. Raid
every such place you have such infor-
nation about Immediately; arrest the
parties; bind them over to court for
trial, and press this matter. Hold up
on no one. We play no favors, "eQual
rights to all and special privileges to
none" Very respectfully,
Cole. L. Blease,
Columbia, July 19. Governor.

CLEMSON EXTENSION WORK.
Article 48.

The reports Of the last census have
shown that the State of South Carolina
has been making wonderful progress
along agricultural lines in the last
ten years. This progress or credit
for this progress of course can not be
claimed by any one agency, but it
shows most plainly what can be ac-
complished by united effort.
Clemson college is not behind in
this respect and has inaugurated one
of the most aggressive agricultural
campaigns over the State this summer
that has been conducted in long
while. For the last month a Clemson
Winthrop demonstration train has
filled engagement every day in differ
ent sections of the State and will con-
tinue until the first week in August.
In addition to the work of this train

SMITH TO RESIGN AS GOVERNOR.
And Present His Credentials to Unit
ed States Senate Monday.

Augusta, Ca, July 19.-Hoke Smith
will resign the Office he now holds, as
governor of Georgia either Thursday
or Friday of this week. By noon Mon
lay, July "a, Senator-elect Smith will
present his creditials as the Junior
senator from Georgia to the United
States senate, and announce himself
to take the oath of Office.
This is the story that cones out
here from intimate friends Of Cover
nor and Senator-elect Smith, following
caucus held in Atlanta Monday
night when, it is said, both the sena-
torial and gubernatorial situation was
gone over. Mr.. Smith decided at that
time it is stated, to resign the COVER
norship and leave Atlanta in time to
reach Washington Monday morning.
There was some indecision, according
to the story, as to whether the resig-
nation would be filed today or not un-
til late in the week, but the definite
conclusion was reached that the State
of Georgia would have the benefit OF
the services of two senators not later
than Monday.

Giant Sleeps Whilst His Enemies Bind
Him Hand and Foot.

It is the opinion Of many OF our
most progressive and best business
men Engaged and interested in grow
ing cotton, that the recent movement
in the cotton mill merging is fraught
with danger to the interst Of both cot
ton growers and cotton mill laborers
in their present incomplete, morgan
lied condition, and that it Dehooves
every man engaged in growing cotton
or cotton operative, who has the vel
fare of himself and his family at heart,
10 now assert their manhood, pluck,
and grit, by uniting themselves with
their respective organizations in a
strong and righteous covenant for
their mutual protection and benefit.
No doubt these mill men at the head
of this consolidation movement are
prepared to show that in order to
maintain profitable dividends for their
stockholders, this economic rellef'
sought for the purpose Of cutting OF
the heads of some of their 'Stop-hea7y''
mills, is necessary; but at the same
time they are preparing themselves to
use their two-edged sword for cut
ting prices of cotton, as well as wag-
es Of their operatives.
When We consider that the farming
interest of the South has more than
seven (s7:00) dollars invested in this
occupation where the combined manu-
featuring interest has one (sD dollar
in their business, and that the voting
power of the cotton grower and cot
ton spinner in South Carolina can
sweep the State for any right measure
for the good of our people-that cot
ton growers and cotton mill opera
tives, too, deserve all the punishment
tradition has allotted to cowardly,
inactive giant that slept while the Lii
nputians bound him hard and fast
With the mills combined in COM
pact organization under the manage
mant of their best men, with cotton
growers and mill operatives compare
lively unorganized, who can doubt the
mills having absolute control over
the whole situation, regardless Of the
fact that cotton growers and cotton
znill operatives have all the requisites

the coming Saturday, July Is, will
witness the opening of a farmers IN
stitute campaign Points not reached
by the train will be thoroughly cover
ed by institute parties. Four separate
and distinct parties will be put into
the field, covering within the next
three weeks some fifty-four points at
which Institutes will be held. Then,
as last year, it is proposed to hold a
wind-up institute at Clemson college,
commencing August 8 and continuing
through August II inclusive.
An interesting program is being ar
ranged, most of it to partake more
of the nature of demonstration work
than Of speaking, and a large and en-
thusiastic crowd of farmers is expect
ed to be present Good speakers have
been secured from various sections of
the South and no one can fail to reap a
large benefit from attendance upon
this institute. Reduced railroad rates
have been requested and due notice OF
their granting will be given in plenty
of time for all to plan their expenses.
The cost while at the college will be
one dollar a day for meals. The use
of the beds will be given free, but all
who come are requested to bring such
bedding as they require together with
their own towels. The college is able
to furnish beds for about 800 people.
In order that We may have some idea
of how to prepare for and also that
those who come may be assured that
they will receive a bed, we are re-
guessing all to notify US in advance
Every man who notifies us in advance,
up to the number OF 800, will be fur
| nished a bed Should more than that
number come, which we do not think
over 1ikel-, especially if we are not
notified, they should not be dissatisfied
| if they are not so comfortable.
The rogram starts promptly at 2
o'clock on. Tuesday, the 9Th, and we
are particlarly anxious that all who
can should come not later than that
morning. The exercises will close il
time On Friday for those specially
anxious to reach home to leave on the
noon trains. Come prepared to spend
the whole time with us and enjoy the
work.

for controlling the situation. But for
the lack of complete organization this
power is unavailable.
No amount Of calamity bowling by
unorganized individuals can ever pen
citrate the hearts Of soulless corpora
tions that have no hearts. Absolute
~ nothing short Of a powerful organ
ization among farmers and mill opera
tives can protect their interest and
back their demands for a square deal,
and the sooner every mothers son OF
our people in this business is educat-
ed up to a full knowledge of this fact,
the better it will be for the peace and
prosperity of our whole State.
Prodding of a Doing Bull
Whether or net it will ever be nee
essary or desirable by cotton growers
and mill operatives to affiliate for
their mutual protection, it is not be-
fore US at present, but if such COM
bination of afiiation should be nee
essary in the future, that this prod
ding of doing bull by combination
Of cotton mill owners will be respon-
sible for it. We are not urging strong
organization for the purpose Of fight
ing mill owners, for we need mills to
spin our cotton, as much as mill men
need the cotton to spin. Beth mill
owners and cotton men are in the
business for Profits, and not for their
health or charity's sake. But there is
a consolation. for the farmer in the
fact that he is not bound down in
chains before King Cotton unless he
like that kind of life; he can grow
his own food crops at home and live
at home while he waits for the hungry
world to call for his products at pro-
ftable prices, and with a strong Or
ganization the farmers Of the South
can control the production Of cotton
and the growing Of home supplies in
a way to protect the interest of the
Southern farmer against the combined
efforts Of all the mill merging busi-
ness.

hope everybody in Newberry read
that editorial in Wednesday after
Moons Record On Beauty and Busi-
ness" If you did not, get the paper
and read it. Or better still, Mr.. Edi-
tor, suppose you print it. 1t is worth
reproducing. The Wisconsin furni-
ture dealer knew everything he want
ed to know about Memphis. He was
looking for a Southern city in which
to go in business He shook hands
with the two Memphis men who met
him and said:
"Now let US hop into machine and
go out and see how you are fixed for
parks and boulevards and public
buildings.'
Suppose he were to come to New
berry with such request, what would
you do? Take him over to Willow
brook, of course, and then you would
have to tell him this was private en-
terprise. Well, they took him around

and when they got back he said:
Good! That's fine. Now We can be-
gin to talk business" Of course Mem.
phis had parks and public buildings
and boulevards. He afterwards gave
his reasons. Listen: "I make fur
niture,' he said. "I must have plen-
ty of good, steady help to do it. No
city is a good city for the man who
must have good, steady help unless It
has kept step with other cities and
provided places for the helps sane
and healthful recreation. That's just
business" "There is,'' he continued;
'talso new day in the making Of pub
Ii buildings; and if a city hasn't kept
step with either, and hasn't started al
movement for fine artistic civic build
ings, it is a sign that something is
wrong with that community. It Isn't
On to its job"
Now, then, there you have it. Just
what I have been telling you from the
first minute I picked up my old pencil
to write the first line for this column.
And it's just as true as any preaching
you ever heard or ever will hear. And
you sit idly down on this park propo-
sition and won't help me just little
bit, you old, stingy, money loving cit
izen, and console yourself with the
thought that you are good business
man, because you have put aside a
few dollars, never thinking OF the
health and comfort Of those Sy whose
sweat you have been enabled to make
those dollars. And besides, If you
provided some of these comforts you
could have made more from this sans
help. 1t would pay you from your sell
| fish viewpoint.
But the park is coming. Don't you
forget that. Things come slow in
Newberry, but I believe there is a
co science left and if you can get It
aroused it will act. I'll get help after
awhile to arouse it, and then me and
Patsy will kill the bear.

P. S.-Speaking about competition
there is right here in Newberry, in
small way, one Of the strongest illus
trat;ons that have ever known. Now
and again I go down town early in the
morning, and sometimes like to read
the State newspaper, and it has been
coming on the 5.19 train for a long
time; but the negro who was handling
i It cculd not think Of getting up before
| s or $50, and, therefore, you could
rarely get copy before the regular
mail. Since Mr. G. P. Pelham has been
handling few copies at the Newber-
ry hotel the negro is out as soon, aa
the train arrives and you can hear
him by o'clock every morning. The
little competition acted as a great
awakener, and SO it goes. Monopoly
makes the best Of US Indifferent and
dictatorial and careless of the inter-
ests of the dear people. T. I.

4 NOT ABOLISH HOSIERY MILL
storney General Informs State
alth Board-Statement Made
Orally at Meeting.

Rshnbia, July 19.-Attorney Gen.
- Lyon orally Informed the State
= of health this afternoon that 1t
= without authority in law to act
any except an advisory capacity in
suect to the hosiery mill at the State
bnitentiary, and, in fact, has no pow
to require the penitentiary directors
br any of the various other State
boards to accept it's views and act upon
snem.
q With regard to that portion OF the
&concurrent resolution, under which the
board recently examined the penlten-
tiary, directing the board to "take sucn
steps as they deem necessary to pre-
vent the spread of tuberculosis among
the convicts at the State penitentiary,"
the attorney general said that this res
o1ution. while it was sufficient to re-
ouire the board to make an 1nspec-
ton and examination, has not the
force of law and can not repeal or
modify the statutes giving the direc-
tors and tt,e superintendent OF the
penitentiary exclusive control and dl-
rection Of the institution.
It must be understood that this opin-
ion was delivered orally. 1t indicates,
however, the line that will be taken
in the formal written opinion, which
Mr.. Lyon expects to file at an early
date.
Awaiting Written Opinion.
Mr.. Lyon was present as an ex-
of6cio member Of the board. The
board had asked the attorney general
TO furnish it with an opinion as to It's
authority over the hosiery mill in Or
der that the board might know how
TO answer a communication from Gov
ernor Blease, urging further action in
the matter. The reply OF the board
has not been drafted. No definite ac-
ton was taken this afternoon in re-
gard to the hosiery mill and none is
likely to be taken until the written
opinion is fled. It was the sense OF
the board that it is not desirable that
prisoners should be employed IN
hosiery mill at all even if the build
ing be new, because such disadVan-
tages to the workers as exist IN the
knitting industry, anyway, are inten-
sified when the workers are conVicts.

THE IMPERIAL.

The bill OF the Imperlars second week
would denote that the excellence of the
premier attractions was not a mere fash
in the pan, but set a standard that will
continue at the new Ninth street the
ater There is a certain unevenness in
the character of the acts, which is to
be expected of a new enterprise getting
under way, and withal vaudeville must
offer variety.
Betty Beauvere and company present a
dainty musical number under the head
of Colonial Pastimes." in which the
beauty charm of the instrumental work
is further enhanced by appropriate
scenery and costumes Grace DeMar is
clever in character impersonations that
range from the society woman to the
Italian immigrant.
An unusual Sketch Is that OF Schroeder
and Schapelle, a pair who have reached
"Midchannel," but whose repartee is
decidedly more variegated than that of
Pinero's ill-mated couple. There is also
a moral to the Imperial sketch-the same
that did service for Ten Nights in a
Barroom."
John La Vier contributes some excel
lent trapeze work: Mccormick and Irv-
ing scored with their songs, and Inza
and Lorella are grotesque acrobats.
The pleasing harmony Of voices In the
Sam J. Curtis company suffers from the
slap-stick comedy introduced. A num-
Der of song hits were well received.

Keep Out the Opium.

The statement made by Commissioner
Cabell, of the Internal Revenue Bureau
in his annual report, that the smoking
of opium IS a widespread vice in this
country, demands the attention of Con-
gress.
1t seems that while there is a statute
which forbids the importation of opium
for other than medicinal purposes, there
Is a loophole through which the drug
can be obtained for vicious purposes.
inasmuch at it passes from the original
importers into the hands of those who
pervert its legal use.
Now that this state of affairs has been
officially made known, Congress must
act. 1t cannot allow the opium habit
to increase in the United States. It
must enact drastic laws and see that they
are rigidly enforced The matter is one
that affects the health and morals of a
nation
