A Look in the Future.

This paragraph is directed primari-
ly to our fellow-citizens but is ap-
propriate to all towns, with three to
four Thousand population. 1t may be
set down as one of the certain things
that Clinton is destined to grow 1t
cannot do otherwise. The population
Of the state is increasing rapidly The
state can support six million people
and then have only 200 to the square
mile, about one person to every three
of the best acres of land on the face
OF the earth. Seventy years from
now, the state will have not for from
that number living within It, This
natural increase will make of Clin-
ton, city, as large as Columbia now
is. That is no extraordinary prophe-
cy. Only fifty years ago. every city
in the state except Charleston and
columbia was smaller than Clinton is
today! Clinton was then Goth In size
among South Carolina hamlets. 1t
had 150 population. 1t is now 21st
with 3400 population, or over 1000
including Lydia suburb. Its growth
has been % fold. Similar growth
would put its condition seventy years
hence at 100000, instead OF the 25,-
900 we have claimed. This Is prelimi-
nary to an urgent appeal we put up
to the city fathers and to the men and
women OF Clinton. Real estate prices
are already high In Clinton. They are
going to run a great deal higher. Now
10 the time to buy play grounds for
your boys and girls and parks fer your
babes and old folks. This writer does
not play ball" He Is getting too old
even to learn how. But he would
urge on the city fathers the purchase
of ball ground, In some suitable To-
cality, within walking distance of the
center Of the city; a half dozen play
grounds for the children, an acre each,
fitted up for proper sports and park
within two or three miles of the I'm
ion depot, the park to cover at least
90 acres. and better. still, a hundred.
The play grounds should be scattered

PARCELS POST.

Widespread satisfaction is express
ed upon the announcement that the
new parcels post law is to go into eff
feet January 1st. In this section of
the country the press of the larger
cities are loud in their approval of
the new law. What the county pa
pers think about 1T, we are not able to
say as they have not accorded the sub
1ect much attention in their columns.
The farming papers are unanimous in
their approval of the step in so far
as we have been able to see. We have
seen but one expression of opposition
to the act from papers of this section
OF the country and that was in a
short paragraph in the Barnwell Peo-
pie, If we remember correctly.
The Advertiser, alone among papers
of this section so far as we know, has
stood out against the innovation. 1t
would seem that the preponderance of
opinion is against us in our stand but
now, after 1t seems certain that the
parcels post agitation is to develop
into reality, we still believe that the
step is an unwise one.
We have not accused any OF those
connected with the parcels post agi-
tatfon, of deliberately attempting to
hinder the progress and prosperity of
the small town and rural districts. We
have charged, however, that this hin
drance would inevitably result and we
still hold that to be true. While the
towns and country will still continue
to progress and become enriched, 1t
Will be In spite of the parcels post and
not because OF 1t. The evils of such a
system do not become apparent be-
cause the loss Is entailed before it is
created and we are blinded to the
fact that what might have been Is not.
While the country will continue to
prosper, it will not prosper as much
as IL the cream of the profits which
1t makes goes out of 1t into the pock-
cts of others.
To our mind there is no greater
menace to the future welfare OF the
nation than the tendency of the young
people TO leave the farms and small

A Fine Idea.

Clinton and Laurens are only nine
miles apart from center to CENTER and
only seven and a half miles of open
country lie between the respective
town limits. These two cities (for
both are so chartered) should GER
tainly have an interurban trolley line.
"A power house located midway be-
tween the two places would easily fur
nish all the pewer needed. The cities
could readily support q line IL care
fully and economically managed. Two
mills at Laurcns and the same at Clin-
ton would furnish abundant patronage.
But the road might be made much
more satisfactory as an investment,
III handsome park with pleasure
grounds were laid off half way be-
tween the two places. A beautiful
site could easily be obtained and
ought to be provided at once. 1t is
also suggested that as Laurens wants
a woman's college and so does Clin-
ton, the two might combine and at
this intermediate point, near the pro-
posed park, college be located
short trolley road would put the pu-
pills at the college door whether resi-
dent In either city. Along the line of
that trolley, splendid farm houses
would quickly be built and the coun-
try would develop marvelously. Some
years ago survey of this line was
made. Laurens was particularly for
ward in the work. Then came grand
scheme which has not panned out, for
system covering the whole up coun-
try but which did not take In Lau-
rens county. 1t threw a damper on
| the local scheme. But according to
our judgment, the time is ripe for
revival of the older enterprise and
the one that concerns Clinton and Lau-
rens most intimately. For purposes
of this kind the two cities may be
considered as one.-Our Monthly

ChicOra College.

We have delayed expressing our
views on the proposed removal of
Chicora College to Lau urens until this
late day, in order that we might look
on the matter dispassiopately and
consider it from every point of view.
because, being a member of Presby-
terry we have right to say it, and be-
cause being disinterested we can look
on it without prejudice. Our Laurens
friends think that they were treated
badly and are very sore over the latest
action Of the board of trustees and
we really think they have a right to
be. A direct proposition as made to
them by lawful meeting of the board
of trustees, which proposition they
complied with to the letter and they
had therefore the right to expect the
keeping of the contract. Neverthe-
less the board of trustees at their full
meeting, had right also to take the
action that they did If they felt that
the board at this smaller meeting had
jeopardized the interests OF the col
lege. 1t Is to be noted, however, that
this earlier meeting specially condi-
toned the removal upon the action of
the Presbyteries, and no doubt to
these Presbytcries the decision Of the
whole matter ought to come, even yet.
Undoubtedly the Presbyteries would
be greatly influenced in their decision
by the action Of the board at it's last
meeting and If the Greenville peo-
pie would show more than a mere
sentimental desire to keep the college.
the college would stay in that city.
For 1t takes the agreement of five
OF the seven Presbyteries to move the
college. We very heartily sympathize
with Laurens in it's desire to have a
college of it's own. They have GER
tainly acted with wonderful courage
and enterprise and have manifested a
zeal that Is above all praise. This
course has made a profound impress
sion upon the Synod at large and there
is certainly feeling very favorable
to the removal and no party but the
city of Greenville can save the day

Col. Dial's Reply.

The reply of Col. Nat. b. Dial to
Senator Tillman is a manly state
ment. We disapproved very hearth
ly of Senator Tillman's making this
attack on Col. Dial over the shoulders
of a once wayward son, who is now
on his deathbed.
1t was not Col. Dial but Col. Tai
bert, who originated this protest
against Senator Tillman being de-
clared the nominee. Why did not
Senator Tillman unloose his guns on
Col. Talbert who had been going all
over the state attacking the senator's
record? Col. Dial, we are informed,
had nothing but kindly references for
Senator Tillman.
Mr.. Dial declines to answer Sena-
tor Tillman in kind, and declines to
go into the latter's family matters.
He contents himself with state
ment as to what took place between
himself and Tillman with reference
to young Haskell Dial, The Laurens
man not only impugns the veracity
Ol senator llllmdu, DHC goes luTIner
and declares that the senator,
though the ranking democratic mem
ber of the senate committee on naval
affairs, was unable to secure any as
sistance for Col. Dial in Washing
ton. Those who did assist Col. Dial
in his trouble should be able to cor
roborate his statements.
We see nothing improper in Col.
Dial's card. Perhaps it might have
been better for Senator Tillman to
have been re-electedg without opposi-
ton, but the Office belongs to the
people. If we mistake not, Col. Tai
bert was in the field before Col. Dial.
Why not accuse him also, of taking
Senator Tillman's rights away?
For his services in the senate
since 1895, Senator Tillman has re-
ceived in salary alone something like
100000 and there have been other
members of his family on the senate
payrolls. But the majority of the
people Of the state were willing for
him to die in harness. Some Of
them, however, do not approve of the
manner in which he "went after" Col.
Dial for exercising his rights as
citizen and as candidate

CHARACTERISTIC.

Senator Tillman has just about
come up to our expectations. He has
given another very complete evidence
OF his glaring Inconsistencies
with 1t viciousness and smallness
unworthy of the position he holds,
and the opportunities and experience
he has had for culling such traits
from his character.
The ink was hardly dry upon his
lengthy and presumptious advice to
Governor Biease to cease "personali-
ties" in public utterances when he
took the trouble to dig down into the
past and bring up matters of very
personal nature concerning a mem
ber of Mr.. N. B. Dial's family,-mat-
ters which, even were they true, should
rest where they are, IL for no other
reason, because of the physical suf-
fering being undergone by the men,
per mentioned. Senator Tillman, ad-
mitting his convenient forgetfulness.
fails to remember that he could have
been attacked along the same lines.
even with more pertenence, for the
unfortunate affairs Of the senator's
family troubles are still fresh in the
mind of the public. But Mr.. Dial,
true to his rearing and the instincts
of gentleman, and realizing that it
was not a public matter and not per-
tinent to his candidacy for the sen
atorship, did not assail Tillman upon
the record of his family, but pitched
his campaign upon higher plane,
one in keeping with the dignity OF the
office he sought at the hands of the
people. His reply was In the same
vein-dignified and to the point, with
out any evidence of hurt parental feel
ings which must have come as a ma
tural sequence, nor with any rancor-
Just a plain statement proving senator
Tiliman's viciousness and disregard
of truth.
However, as I'VE have said, he has
just about fulfilled our expectations.
It's in his blood and bones, and 1t
had TO come out to evidence the ma
ture Of the man.
