THE GREAT LOCOMOTIVE
THEN ,5.*iJ<,,l:, AND

One hundred years ago today the
first locomotiya, In the, world to sue

by George Stephenson, the Father of
Locomotives. made its first run at
INillangsworth colliery in England.
It had SO many rods and cranks strap
ped to its boiler that It had the ap-
pearance Of huge grasshopper, 1t
weighed about six tons. A pair OF
walking BEAMS" resembling those of
modern side-wheel steamer, turned
the four wheels. There being no cab.
the engineer had to stand while the
engine was In operation. It pulled
eight loaded cars, which aggregated o
weight of thirty,t- -S, q track that had
grade Of one foot In an eighth OF q
mile. The test was grand" success.
the engine running about six miles
an honr. The first locomotive to draw
a train OF cars in the United States
made it's experimental trip In the
Lackawana coal district fifteen years
later. This locomotive was also the
product Of Stephenson. II was called
the Stourbridge Lion, after the place
Of its manufactnfe In England. It's
American engineer, Horatio Allen. ran
the engine over D. track of hemlock
rails for preliminary test. Then! he

His invitation was not only refused.

txCna0Re.
II political war is TO be waged
against the cotton mills Of South Car
olfna. no more favorable time than
the present could have been chosen
for attack. Never in the history OF
the industry were the mill companies
so ill-prepared to resist assault
Moreover, It is an illustration of con-
summate strategy that the attack is
directed against the weaker mill.
Let us consider. for Il moment, the
Parker Cotton Mills Company. 1t
comprises about 0ne-cighth or one
ninth of the mills and spindles of
the state though there are in the
United States various other mills
rivaling it in size
II one-thirtieth or One-fOrtieth of
the spindies in the United States can
dictate the price Of goods and the
price Of labor, then the Parker
merger" Is a trust or monopoly.
When the merger" was formed
some three years ago. its three class
es OF shares were sold in open mar
ket at $500. $72 and s22.
They can now he bought for $95,
$40 and SO. respectively.
The $2,000,000 OF guaranteed
otcSh 10 ioi ScIy ueiu III tHc HOElH.
The preferred stock, which has
failed to pay the last six of its quar-
terly dividends, is largely owned in
this state and by the officers of the
mills.
The market value OF this preferred
stock, there being outstanding about
$4,000 shares, has shrunk nearly two
million dollars: In word, the own
ers Of preferred stock, hundreds of
them South Carolinians, including
the president and all the principal
officers OF the. company. are about
two million dollars poorer than they
were three years ago.
The State asks no one to take its
word for these facts; let the doubt
ing consult any dealer In mill stocks
Us to their truth.
Even IL we include the common
stock that cell for $40 q share, the
Parker mills have no watered stock.
They are capitalized about $26 a
share. and IL they were wiped out
they could not be replaced for less.
The actual money that has been
placed in them. the constituent mills,
from first to last, Is far more than
their present capital. Money lost by
many of the constituent mills before
the days OF the merger" has been
forgotten. 49,
Some other mills are ID worse con-
dition than the Parker company. We
have in mind Heyeral concerns, now
that may fall into bankruptcy any
day. Several sothers had to be reor-
ganized last tyear-and q reors aniza-
tfon nearlySAlWays means the loss Of
the money.Ht5f in by the original own
ers, Probaia not one-third OF the
South Carol rG cotton mills are regu-
larly paying diyidends and the conf
dence in the Industry is so impaired
that the shayes Of the strong mills
sell fifty nef cent below their real
value.
II the people believe that the cot
ton mills would better be directed en-
tirely by stfhhgers, now is ;the. time
to press sthe nwarfare on them, force
them to theYauction block and let
them be bought for q song by north
ern men. ~ a.ir yc.t ,.,,-S.,

HAROLD G. BOOKER

In some way there escaped our at

that Harold G. Booker had retired
from the editorial chair OF the Green
Vile Piedmont 20 take the management
OF the SpartanbmS Journal. We had
known for some tine that this would
happen. but In SOME way the an
nouncement which We had been look
ing for escaped us.
This accordingly bslated acknowI-
edgement Of the worth of q fellow

we hope. not be ,out of place. It was
the pleasure of ethe writer to know
Booker when he,was a lad OF about

the campaign speaking; when, the .peo-
pie of Laurens. Anderson. Green

gathered with the veople Of Abbeville
for meeting In advance OF the regu-
lar campaign. iAnlang those who that
day made their iuaiden speeches in
politics and afterwards have become
men of prominence were d. C. Hey.

ber that Booker. though but child

BEWARE, THE Law

One OF the busy newsgatherers oi
this paper brought In a story. publish
ed in Tuesdays paper, to the effect
that there was $4,000 of "Biease mo-
ney" here to be bet on the election
There WAS a lot of speculation caused
by this statement, although nearly ev.
evrybody considered it a Joke.
IT, is n fact. however, that there
was considerable betting TWO years
ago. The so-called Jones headquar-
ters" at Greenville is said to nave
put out a lot of money, and the
Bleases people of Anderson accepted
1t. However, our attention mas been
called to the fact that there Is a sc.
we're statute law against THIS partic.
ular thing and we'll known lawyer
yesterday dug it up and citeG It. The
law Is ns follows:
Section 1868, Code of 1912. Grim.
inal Laws OF South Carolina:
whoever shall make any bet
or wager of money, or wager of
any other thing Of value, or shall
have any share or part In any
bet or wager or money, O. wager
or any other thing VI value. upon
any election In this STATE, shall
be deemed guilty OF misdemeart-
or, and upon conviction IN any
court of sessions in this State;
shall be fined in sum not ex-
ceeding FIVE hundred dollars. and
be Imprisoned not exceeding one
month; one half of the fine 70 go
to the informer, and the other.
half to the use OF the State"
| Now that appears to be a risky
piece of business. A man could turn
informer and get back enough to keep
himself out OF the hole. And with the
vigilance which the sher1ff's office has
shown In the last two years IN run
ming down Sunday crap games,
and other violations OF law, II
would ho inviting trouble to place An,
election bets this year for the sheriff
Is the kind OF man who ensorcss tnt
law. y
Furthermore, we are opposed to
betting. especially on ball games and
elections.

Shall The Mills Be DESTROYED?

Some OF our mills are in direct
competition with Japan. The Japan
ese are as efficient weavers as they
are lighters. mill owner can employ
three or four weavers or more In
Japan for the price OF one In South
Carolina-and the Japanese and the
South Carolina mills are competing
In the Chinese market
| We have been studying the textile
situation in South Carolina for nearly
twenty years and we have had oppor-
tunity to study It. Until the panic of
1907. our opinion was that mill In
vestments were rather better than
most others. 1t was not until three
years ago, when entire recovery from
the panic seemed as far away az ever,
that we began to consider the ques-
tion Of the industry's existence
That existence has become precari-
Ous..
There is no occasion for instant
alarm. We shall have cotton mills
for ten or twenty years longer at any
rate. If ever they disappear. the dis
appearance will be gradual. The
salvation of at least eight or nine
practically bankrupt mills. Time will
come when, one by one, mill will be

change for the better.
Do we want q textile industry in
South Carolina? Do the 45,500 mill
| workers want to keep their employ
ment or do they prefer that the mills
be deserted? Mark, there is no i'm
mediate danger of anything except
decentralization OF the industry, the
hurrying forward Of bankruptcies
and reorganizatinns Of crippled mills
and the taking away of athe last
| chance OF hundreds Of present share
Millions on millions have been lost
In the industry in the last five. or six
years. II the Losses continue, comes
the day when the last man.. native or
outsider. has backed with dollar an
industry that popular leaders abuse,
denounce and execrate.
Do we want the textile industry to
survive In South Carolina? It doesn't
matter about the owners-if the devil
gets them, who cares? Do we want
mill work for the mill workers? II
we do. then we had better be concern
ed about a crippled and sick indus
try If the mills are worth saving,
they require a nurse and a doctor,
not man with bludgeon. They re-
quIre the good will OF every substan-
tial citizen. 'l~
OF course there should be regula-
tion, Of course there are many and
serious abuses to be corrected by leg
islatiOn, but 1t is the simple truth
that the paramount consideration is
now and will be for some years
whether the industry itself shall live
or die.
The people can kill it and those

chosen their time and place for at
tack with admirable strategy and
skill. The second in Importance of
the South Carolina cotton industries
Is having harder going now than the
first. cotton raising, had when farm
ers, were selling their product for six
cents pound.
At the hands of officials South Caro-
lima blind tigers and gambling hells
are receiving more considerate treat
ment than cotton mills are given.

BUYING VOTES.

| INC man VINO would sell his vote
is unworthy to have the right to vote
The candidate who would buy or bar.
ter for votes is unworthy of trust or
| confidence.
And how may votes be bought? In
Charleston in the special congressional
election last year. so we have been In
formed. men stood up openly on the
streets and paid money for votes and
complained bitterly because the price
was 30 much higher than ii had been
But there are other ways OF buying
votes. When colored woman comes
around with blackberries. she will
take old clothes in exchange. The
lien merchant takes cotton from the
wagon in settlement of hia account
for supplies. No money was passed
and yet each is lawful sale.
And the man who bartcrs or ex-
changes his vote for something prom
iscd or expected is ns bad as the man
who takes money, although not as low
as the one who takes money from both
sides.
The candidate for council who Of
fers police jobs is buying votes. The
candidate for the legislature who Of
fers to win over opponents by promls-
Ing them magisterial commissions, or
something else to which they are not
entitled. is buying them over. The
candidate for governor who promises
favors and gratuities from his office is
buying votes. unless the things prom
iscd are deserved and the promise It.
self fs not made in bartering spirit.
The candidate for congress by promis-
Ing federal patronage where none law
fully is due Is buying votes.
II votes are purchasable, how low
best men get to office! How can the
hest men get to Office How can the
poor man get to Office? These are
times when we need to look for integ-
lrity. In the last half dozen years men
have become to look for some personal
benefit in elections, and the fitness, In
tegrity and manliness OF candidates is
overlooked by many.
These matters are put very pointed
ly In the following sentences from a
recent communication.
'iWfll work for man who prom
ises me certain things for my support
and n the strength OF these promises
VIII .Icask my people to vote for him?
mot hnless tell my people about

BUILD UP MILITIA.

When our national guard embrogliC
was attracting as much attention az
4 mimic war In an opera boune, II was
intimatcd that this poor state was dis
criminated against by the yankee"
secretary OF war we have observed
| with surprise that more comment has
not been made, but the secretary OF
war, Linley NJ. Garrison. has mustered
out three regiments OF militia in his
own state, and for the same reason
that Adjt. Gen. VIM. w. Moore recon-
mended last year that some companies
| In this state he disbunded.
There has never been in our mind
| any question of the manliness, honesty
OF purpose and determination OF Gen.
Moore. AT times 1t appeared that he
was too much Of stickler for fol-
ing the cxacting requirements. But
think back upon conditions which ex-
listed before Gen. Moore went into Of
flee. A former assistant adjutant
general had been tried by court mar
tial for carelessness and laxness, and
with such an insistance before him.
Gen. Moore has hecn scrupulously ex-
act and careful though under what we
know to hav. been very trying cir
cumstances.
But the point we started out to make
is that South Carolina has not been
Disseminated against. The entire ma
tional guard OF Arkansas was muster
ed out. Three regiments in New Jer-
sey, we are informed were disbanded,
and we sec by northern paper that
just coolies and oodles OF militia gen.
erals and colonels and officers OF min
or grade have been mustered out. The
Dick law has cut off the frills and Is
trying to make business-like organ
ization Of the national guard The
government buys the equipment and
demands an accounting. When COM
pany does not muster for inspection
and does not account for property, it
should by rights, be punished in some
way. No favorites.
The military authorities are deter
mined that the organized militia shall
be placed on footing as to organiza-
tion and numerical strength that shall
mako it OF value in time OF war, so
that 1t would be available for transfer
to the United States Volunteer army.
In some Of the states there has been a
ridiculously high percentage of off,
GERS Of high rank in command of dunn
my organizations that lack the consti-
tuent units and flagrantly deficient in
complement. The Dick law required
that militia organizations should be
brought to proper formation by Jan
uary Fl, 1910, but this limit has been
extended from time to time. and the
militia division of the war department
was not severe but lenient
