Ing. In a few short days Will be gone.
What an asset to the South 1t has been
TO have had men OF this kind.
| AT the age of 65 he received his
diploma from the University of South
Carolina. This is because he left the
institution in the spring, while he was
a member Of the senior class. and
commanded company Of cadets in
| the first operations around Charleston.
Later he performed one Of the most
cMsptfyliNs acts of courage in the
hiNory of the war, riding In an open
boat across Charleston harbor under
fire Of the enemy. with dispatches for
the detached Confederate forts. For
this gallant work he was given q COM
mission in the regular army OF the
Confederacy. and, II we mistake not,
he sc-"c:! I: the regular: :.:.-o;5!::a;;::.. :.:.-o;15!.::a;;::..

lege but his alma mater q few years
ago complimented him with q di-
ploma.
His father was colonel for q rcgi-
ment and every brother who was old
epough to bear arms became an Of
flccr in the Confederacy.
In 1876 he was true to his people
and in later years he was loved, hon.
ored and respected.
He lived at typical Southern home

the door was ever shut. except per-
haps In severe weather. Hospitality
and charity radiated from It's very
presence. Capt. Jones possessed the
social elements such as are not per-
lnitted 10 many men to enjoy, and was
by nature endowed with love Of
music. AS n violinist he had few
superiors in the state, and until his
| eyesight failed he was for years q
n ember of the Iredell orchestra of
Winthrop college
He was the typical southern gen.
tleman. His manners were lovely,
manneTisms none. And above all he
was kindly. gentle and courageous
man. Few like him are left The
younger generation OF men may be as
true. as honorable, as warmhearted.
but somehow VIC miss in the most Of
them that indefinible charm of cour-
tesy which marked tho we'll bred; we'll

DO YOU KNOW.

A Swiss prison appears to be-the
very place in which to spend a cheap
holiday. as you have practically all
you want-a comfortable cell. central
heating. electricity. good food. a fair
quantity Of wine or beer: and tobac-
co and library. You can learn a
trade, have plenty OF exercise and
there little work to do ins return
for all these advantages. ,s..
There are million and half more
women than men In Great Britain The
proportion of women to men Is slight
ly on the decrease however. At the
census Of 1861 the proportion was
1063 women to 1000 men. Now 1t Is
1861 to 1000.

r. A. Mcconnell. superintendent Of
Silver Brook cemetery. says that the
year ending August 18th promises to
be record breaking year as far aa
interments in the. cemetery are con-.
cerned. The number Of burials is less
than liz, and the year ends in less
than one months time. During the
past week. when nine interments were
made. The number Of burIals for the
past II months was brought up in tho
ncighborhood Of 100.
One year ago the record was 148:
two years ago 1t was 1876, and thrcc
years ago 1t was 1853. The average for
the past six or eight years has heon
about 40. .w !,
Superintendent Mcconnell says his
records show that the number of in
terments is greater during the months
when the seasons are changing. For
instance the number is larger in Feb
ruary and March. and again in June
and July, and again in September and
October. The summer months bring
the largest number of burials.

COL. GIBSON'S DENIAL.

The editor OF The Daily Intelligent
Ger has received from Col. J. T. Glib
son OF Benncttsyillc a personal letter
in which lie very bitterly assails Mr..
Pollock for mentioning the calico
ticket" proposition. Col. Gibson
says the charge against him is In
famous.
The only charge was that he is a
member of Gov. Blease's staff and that
his name was OH ticket in 1880 along
with some negroes who were candi-
dates for office. Quite q number OF
Anderson people saw the ticket and
saw the name J. P Gibson. MIR. Pol
lock made no attack upon Mr.. Gibson.
merely made statement.
This was done, not to humiliate Col.
Gibson, as we judged the incident, but
to make sport Of Gov. Blease who had
been decrying the negro and any one
- would associate in politics direct
ly or indii ectly with negroes. Mr..
Pollock in ether words, merely IRE
piled in kind" and used no offensive
language unuut SfsT. G:5so:.
Mr. Gibson has sent this paper two
column article from paper In which
he gives the history of his political
career and declares that in 1880 he
was candidate on the democratic
tocket and that his name was put on
the republican ''calico" ticket without
his knowledge or consent Mr.. Glib
son says in part:
"Now will explain the existence of
the scalico checked back ticket" which
was sent to Mr.. Follbck from this
county and which is being exhibited
by him in the upper part of the state.
That checked back ticket was not our
.iczes. II I iiau to- SO into judgment
this moment did not know anything
about the exi3tenoe of that republican
ticket with our names on 1t. until I
went to BrightsvilIe on the day of
election.
"Mr. d. d. McColl who was my per-
sonal friend as long as he lived, and
Htlo Wk1o lttc latuCI tho PACoShS
democratic chairman OF this county.
told Iae after the election In 1880. that
he and other white republicans In this
county had advised the republicans to
place our names on their ticket. My
name was placed there without my
consent or knowledge. and any inti-
nation ar declaration. that have ever
catered to or affiliated with the ne
groes or republican party is an abso-
Lutte falsehood as black as perditiOn."
We publish this much OF Mr.. Glib
sons statement in Justice to him. al
though as we said before. Mr.. Pollock
instead Of trying to mortify poor Col.
Gibson seemed to be trying to ridicule

THE PLAIN TRUTH is THAT THE
COTTON MILL INDUSTRY IN SOUTH
CAROLINA is IN A SERIOUS CON-
DITION.
northern ownership Of tile mills VIII
force them into bankruptcy put
them into the hands Of southern peO-
pie? The question Is one to make any
owner of southern mill stocks laugh.
Finding a southern man who will in
vest in mill properties at any price in
these days is not easy. The truth is
that the Yankees can get practically
the whole southern mill industry at
half its cost of establishment or less
If they want 1t. But they don't want
it.
The southern owner of mill shares
in these times Ia, as rule, sick man
so far as his mill shares are concern
ed.
Yet we hear politicians denouncing
The mills and mill owners.
Suppose that politicians should say
that farming is an iniquitous business
in South Carolina, would 1t help The
value OF the farm lands? In time, de-
nunciattOn Of farming would kill the
business. Either the mills ought 10

clothing and thread outlawed in South
Carolina or
Their affairs ought to be discussed
considerably and understandingly and
0rN1 xx,I
who are trying to keep them going,
ought to be given a chance to save
them.
Do the mill workers wish the mills
closed?
If the denunciation of the mill
business goes on, the mills in time
will close. Not this year or the next
or the next perhaps-but no industry
can endure assault forever.
The cotton mill industry in South
Carolina is sick industry now.
II any politician doesn't believe 1t.
we can refer him to q man who will
sell him shares In q mill that Is now
running shares that cos. $100 that once
were worth $120, that have paid no
dividend In six years so that $40 has
Ueen ioBt i'll interest ou the money in
vested In each share for $40 share.
We think he can buy the whole mill at
that price, subject of course to its In
debtedness.
And we think that our friend can Of
fer him any one of % or 40 mills in
pretty much the same condition and
on similar terms.
However, If It be advisable. In the
interest of the mill operatives, to kill
the industry, let the hammering pro-
ceed. ,.
There is absolutely no danger in
hammering the cotton mills. We
wish the politicians would teke them.
and run. them In their way. They
can certainly get them at a bargain.
