It especially advisable to mention
the names of prominent merchants,
and if a man Is running two estab-
lishments, there is nothing amiss in
naming him twice in the same issue.
He believes it is good plan also
for a man starting any new business
to give a supper occasionally, and to
invite such men as will talk the sup.
per and you sup"
A little free advertising also ap.
peals to him. He says that if a pa
per is run for the benefit of the town,
it should talk good deal about the
goods the merchants carry, and say
good many kind words about the
merchant himself, again calling his
name in print.
He tells US also that we will break
down occasionally, and be in trouble
about getting the paper out prompt
ly; in all such cases, he thinks, if we
will tell his wife the news, that it
will be duly published, and no one
will be disappointed at the non-ap-
pearance of the paper.

A NEW SIDEWALK.

Before the High School was estab-
lished on Greenville street, and until
a few years ago, only a few families
resided there, and a sidewalk on one
side of the street was all that was
necessary. Now that the High
School is established and people have
learned that Greenville street is to
Abbeville what Peachtree is to At
lanta, Everybody is trying to get on
it or within a block of it) there is i'm
perative need that sidewalk be
opened up on both sides of this
thoroughfare. At present we believe
1t Is only necessary that the right of
way be secured from Mr.. Stark, Chief
Justice Gary and Mrs. Perrin. The
walk is already open at all other
points. We suggest that City Coun-
Gil consider this matter at its next
meeting. We imagine when the
matter is presented to these property
owners, and they are assured that the
walk will be so constructed as not to
damage the adjoining property, they
will not object to donating the right
of way. Parties on the opposite side
of the street have already done this,
and if it were not for the considera-
ton Of others, in thus donating
walks, we would all walk to town
these mornings in the middle Of the
street. We do not think the parties
named will be less patriotic than
their neighbors.

Sublime satisfaction in ones own
powers must be very delightful con.
dition, but a celebrated English mu-
sician, Doctor Arne, who aourished in
the first half Of the seventeenth CEN
tury, for once -wittily turned the ia
bles on some singers Of this type.
He was asked to decide on the re-
spective powers of two vocalists
whose talents existed entirely in their
own imaginations. After hearing them
Doctor Arne said to one: "You are
the worst singer I ever heard in my
life. Then, exclaimed the other: II
win" NO." answered the just judge,
you can't sing at all"

LAWS AND LAWMAKERS.

The Administration Ship Purchase
Bill continues to hold the center of the
stage In Congress The Democratic
forces supporting the president have
had their number increased by the ar
rival of Senator Newlands from Me-
vada, and. Senator Smith, of South
Carolina. The latter has been at home
with his wife who has been i'll in a
hospital. With these two additional
votes the Republicans have been un-
able to recommit the bill even with
the aid Of seven Democrats. who were
not supporting the administration
measure. :
The Republicans have again resort
ed to the fillibustering and threaten
to talk the bill to death. 1t Is not
likely that the bill will pass Congress
before its adjournment on March 4th.
The only chance the measure will have
will be In the calling Of an extra ses.
sion of Congress shortly after ad-
journment..
Since our last issue, President Will
son has vetoed the immigration bill
containing the literacy test An effort
was made to pass the bill oveer his
veto, but its supporters lacked five
votes in the house of having the nee
essary two thirds mapority.
In the State Legislature most Of the
time has been taken up In the last
few days discussing compulsory edu-
cation. The house has whipped from
one side Of the question to the other
until finally on Saturday committee
was appointed to draft a bill which
would be satisfactory to all support
ers of compulsory education, The
committee, reported on yesterday. The
proposed bill makes the school dis
trict the unit and provides that COM
pulsory education shall go into effect
in any district upon majority vote
Of the qualified electors therein. which
election may be had upon petition
of certain portion Of the electors,
or upon vote Of the trustees, or in
several other ways
The Sinkler Bill in the Senate which
at one time seemed to have a good
chance to become law has been so
amended that Senator Sinkler says
that there Is nothing left Of 1t except
the title.
The forces seem to be divided be-
tween the different plans for putting
the lawinto operation. With the de-
lays which have occurred and with
the record which has been made al
ready, 1t is apparent that II compul7
sorry education bill is passed at all, It
will be a very defective and unsatis-
factory one,
A strong fight has been made in the
Senate upon the Prohibition Referen-
dunn Bill, but the test votes taken
seems to Indicate that this bill will
become law and that an election will
be ordered at some future day upon

The Whitehorse Star brings out the following bit of history: Mrs. Me- Donald, wife of the late Archdeacon Mcdonald who died in Winnipeg two years ago at the ripe age of 85 years, was an arrival on Wednesdays train. Mrs. Mcdonald is a daughter of the Peel River Indian tribe and was born and reared in that isolated country. She has never been at Dawson, but had worked many years with her late hus- band in the Peel and Mackenzie river countries, the late archdeacon begin hing his work among the Indians of the North in the year 1861, which was ifty' four years ago. The aged woman will stop for awhile at the home of Bishop Stringer in Dawson and will later be taken over the mountain range to the scene of her former years. She is ac- companied by her dauRhter-in law, an attractive young woman whose husband is now fighting for his country with the allies in Europe.

While it may be true that we won't get anything if we don't ask for it, it is also most assuredly fact that the re- quest of the late legislature for control of the Aching industry was doomed to meet with a negative answer from the moment Of it's inception, says the Nome Nugget. The control of this important Alaska industry is too big thing for the congressional whips to let slip be- yond their own control, for the present at least. Neither is the idea at all agreeable to the fishing interests them selves for the purely economic reason that the change will doubtless result in a more equitable system of direct tax ation which is in DO sense in accord ance with their ideas of what is right. Between the desire of congress to keep the revenues derived from this indus. try, com bined with the unwillingness of the Ash barons to accept a change which may tend to prejudice their in' terest, it will doubtless be many day before the people of Alaska will have any more than a trifling share in the immense revenue drawn from the waters adjacent to their coasts. While realizing the futility of the question, we would nevertheless like to know just what stage of territorial develop ment the honorable secretary considers essential before the people of Alaska can safely be granted their just right to exercise control over such industries as derive their revenue from the ex- ploitation of the territory.

It seems from an item appearing in a recent issue of the Nome Industrial Worker that the Russian government will build a railroad from its transcon. tinental line, which terminates at Vlad- iyostok, northward to some point on the Siberian coast not far from Alaska. If this railroad materializes, it may be expected that the dream of an interna. tional transportation system connect ing an Asiatic railroad with an Ameri can road in Alaska, will some time be come a reality. Here is what the Worker says about it: "A letter has been received from officials of the Rus sian war department making inquiries as to the availability of Nome for sup- plies for railroad survey party which will be sent north from Vladivostok to make a preliminary reconnaissance of a road along tbe Siberian coast as far north at any rate as Anadir bay. The letter stated that the work of construc- ton had already been begun over the survey already perfected in Kamschat- ka. The coast Siberian road will con- meet with the trans-Siberian system and will proceed north to assist in the development of the country"
