Two South Caroliniaps.
arOlinianS.

The States dispatches yesterday
chronicled the deaths of two men,
both South Carolinians of mark who
had contributed generously to the bet
ter life of the commonwealth and
both long identified with Union county.
Capt A. H. Foster, after gallant
service in the armies of the Confeder-
acy, became a merchant in Union in
1868 and in the development of his
important factors. Captain j r. Min
ter was in the civil service of the
Confereracy and after the war was a
SUCCESSFUL planter and merchant.
Some twenty years ago he went to
Laurens and in the life of that COM
useful influence. He was a member
of the legislature for Union county
many years ago.
Both were of the modest type of
business men to whose intelligent and
brave efforts the State owes so much
for the restoration OF prosperity and
sound opinion after the disasters of
the sixties. They were earnest, work
ing men who were content to strive in
quiet way for the good of their
country and their families They
reaped the just rewards of skill and
application to business and inciden-
tally they helped their fellow citizens
in the creation of public and private
institutions. They had no ears for
the clamors of demogogues ond they
were of that vigorous convervatism
that is not apart form the spirit of
progress. Their memories will make
younger men hopeful Of the future
of their State.--The State.

Doctors and Lawyers.

Doctors and Lawyers.
With Col. Simpson and DR.. Dial,
armed with guns, lead pencils and
knives. controlling the line of bat
tie, the lawyers barely succeeded in
-"whoopping' the doctors last Friday in
a game of baseball of the nip and
tuck variety, with nip just little
ahead. The final roundup showed IA
notches on the stick for the lawyers
and Is for the doctors. The doctors,
though defeated, are positive they
have better team, and negotiations
are now going on for another miX-up
between the tribes.
There being nine men on each side,
there were therefore eighteen stars
there were therefore eighteen stars
having reference probably to the UNI

plays and hair-breadth escapes would
require book, so anyone desiring
further information can get same by
stopping anywhere on the square and
looking like baseball hat, which
pose will certainly produce most in

The New County Principle.

Whether Fountain Inn or Woodruff
be the county seat of a new county
or whether two counties be erected
with each as it's capital is if no espe-
cial interest to the State and the in
teresting Tribune of Fountain Inn is
assured that The State enters upon no
campaign to interfere with it ambi-
tion. Moreover, The State believes
now as always in general scheme of
small county organizations.
Still, the principle remains that
county because the people of a wide
conveniences and ACKNOWLEDGMENT of
villages or towns. The constitutional
convention of 1895 created Saluda
ciunty because the people of wide
rural district were remote from a
court house and the founding of a
court house town resulted Because
the need for that county was urgent
by no means proves that every de-
mand for new county is wise and
expedient and we believe it only the
due of rural dwellers that they be
warned against allowing themselves
to be over-persuaded by worthily am
bilious townspeople.
Within the last eighteen years nine
or ten new counties have been formed
in South Carolina and most of the
very large counties have been reduced
in area. Where a region is undevel-
oped the making of county of it is
one effective means/of stimulating its
growth and it is likely that arguments
for other counties are more plentiful
in the Southern than in the Northern
part of the State.
The suggestion of The Tribune that
counties should be created to prevent
the domination of rural territory by
large towns destroys itself unless it be
proposed that each large town be it
self county-otherwise the cutting
of Of part of it's rural territiry ex-
poses the remainder more than ever
to city control.
The State contends that however
sound is the principle OF small county
units its abuse is not less possible
than the operation. The creation of
a county as the result of village or
neighborhood whim may be harmful
and for that reason we have pointed
out (and the article that The Tribune
quotes from Is not the first of the
kind that has appeared in The State)
that, the number of counties having
more than 25 per cent. the time has
come when their further increase
should be governed by considerations
that include the symmetrical exist
ence of the old counties as well as
the nature and character of the ter
ritory to be effected. 1t is not always
that the man who is to live within
the proposed new county is the best
Judge of these conditions and 1t
should not be denied that The State
as a whole has Legitimate interest
in the manner by which it shall be
subdivided.-The State.

CONCLUSIONS.

We do not exactly understand the
logic of Governor Blease in removing
the State constables. Under the law
as 1t is now and even was before the
decision of the supreme court in re
gard to the Webb law, liquor could
be shipped for personal use, and this
decision does not change the status.
If constables were needed and neces-
sary before the decision of the su-
preme court. it would appear to us
that they are just as necessary since
that decision.-Newberry Herald and
News.
Governor Blease's logic, or rather
his politics, is just about as clear as
anyone would wish. If there are no
liquor constables there will be more
selling OF whiskey by blind tigers, a
consequent dissatisfaction with the
whiskey laws resulting in an ultimate
effort to restore dispensaries in all
the counties.
1t has been rumored here for sew
eral days and reports have been print
ed In different newspapers to the eff
feet that the schedules on the Charles
ton and Western Carolina railroad are
to be changed at an eaNy date. Ac-
cording to this report there will be
but one train a day each way be-
tween Augusta and Laurens, though
another train each way will be put on
between Spartanburg and Greenyille
This report has not as yet been con
firmed though it has come in such a
definite shape as to indicate that
such a schedule is contemplated. Very
clearly such schedule would work
to the great disadvantage of Laurens,
as it would virtually cut off that trade
which comes to this city from the di-
rsction of Waterloo by train, as 1t is
said that there will be only an hours
time between the east-bound and west
bound trains. We believe that, before
putting these schedules into effect, 1t
would be good policy for the railroad
to take its patrons into its confidence
and discuss this matter thoroughly.
The people OF this city will object in
no uncertain terms to a change of
schedule which will cut off such an
Important portion of her trading ter
ritory.

Commissioner e. j. Watson says
that the four or five miles or road
way just before entering the city of
Greenville are about as miserable
piece Of road as could be found any
where. Commissioner Watson had
the same experience that aravelers
from this city found several days ago
in going to Greenville. 1t is said
that this small strip Of raod Is about
the worst ever The Greenville
supervisor should have this attended
before the travel sets in so that the
road from Newberry to Greenville
would be continuous piece of good
road.
The advice of Secretary Daniels to
the people of Port Royal should have
wholesome effect in putting stop
TO the illegal sale of, liquor in that
vicinity. Sec. Daniels tells them il
they will put an end to the blind tiger
business in the vicinity of the town
that he will see to it that Port Royal
is made an important naval station
and that if the people do not stop the
illegal sale of whiskey that he will
not raise his hand to help them. The
Secretary has issued an ultimatum, the
result of which will be watched with
great interest as it should prove that
the Illicit sale of whiskey can be stop
ped If the proper effort is made and II
the citizens themselves are ready to
back up the officers of the law.

Back of much of the furore of war
is selfish interest in the nlanufac-

men so unpatriotic that they try to stir
up trouble in another country against

Washington, D. c. May 19.-Sen.
sational charges were made today
relative to the ministration of the
naval funds costing the government
six million dollars and endangering
the impregnability of the newest
dreadnaughts.
The charges were made against
the Taft administration by United
States Senator Ashurst Of Arizona
who introduced a resolution calling
for an investigation Of the Class A
armor plate contracts.
Senator Ashurst says contracts for
thirH-three thousand tons Of armor
plats were given the trust at $50
per ton when the trust could have
made . handsome profit at $50 per
ton according to the best experts,
figures.
Senator Ashurst also charges that
the armor was never inspected BY

delivered and that several platss have

Hauls Beer, Gets 24O Days.

Kansas City. NO., May 2O-A fine
of 1900 with sentence of 24O days
in JAIL the heaviest penalties ever inn
posed in local police court, was the
judgment pronounced today in the
Municipal Court, Kansas City, Kas.,
on H. A. Hawver, driver for the
Kansas City Breweries Company
Hawver was arrested two weeks
ago when the police siezed beer waq-
ons making deliveries in Kansas City,
Kas. The Kansas authorities made
the arrest to test the police powers
under the Federal Webb law and the
State law and city ordinances design
ed for its enforcement. ~
The point raised was whether the
delivery of beer in Kansas City, Kas., \
constituted sale in that State. The
defense asserted the beer was paid
for at the office Of the brewing COM
pany in Kansas City, Mo.
Hawver's case was appealed and
he was released under bond of &, 900.

PRICE, $1.oo PER YEAR

The Kansas City Star, whose editor
was one of the foremost supporters
of Col. Roosevelt in the last national
election, devotes a few lines in re-
cent issue to pungent arraignment
of the fourteen Progressives who
lined up with the old stand-pat gang
and voted against the Underwood
bill. A vote against the Underwood
bill, The Star says, was vote for the
Payne-Aldrich bill and it brands the
fourteen Congressman as defenders
of favoritism and enemies of the
square DEAL Coming straight from
a center of Bull Moose authority, this
utterance of The Star is an interest
ing approval of the position taken by
this paper that the genuine Progress
sives really belong with the Democ-
racy in the tariff fight. There never
has been any hope of getting just tar
iff legislation from the old Republi-
can tariff ringsters. So far as the
members Of the Progressive party
are in sympathy with that element
they are not progressive in any i'm
portant sense. So far as they are
really progressive they belong with,
the Democrats, Republic.
