CAN'T COME BACK.

Manning can never again poll the
vote of a majority Of the people Of
this State. He has shown clearly to
them that if he has heart, it does
not beat in unison with their aspira-
tions. They instinctively mistrusted
him during all the years when they
kept him out Of the Governors chair,
and they did not trust him when on
a wave of hysteria of fifteen-cent
cotton he went in. But they will
never trust him AGAIN. That is
certain. If the unlikely should hap:
pen and he should get in the second
primary with Blease, he's GONE.
But with Cooper it might be an
other thing. The people do trust
Cooper. They do not like his views,
which Manning now says are also his
views. But they would elect him,
fully knowing that he would carry
out his prediction promises. IF
Cooper went in the second primary
with Blease, there might be enough
people in. the State who take the
Puritanical view of things to elect
him, and they would vote for him.
The trouble with Manning is that he
has alienated the views of the broad
and the narrow, and no one remains
in his camp but those who believe in
the aristocratic idea. a."-Charleston

BETTER HOMES.

In the Colorado Industrial Plan
adopted by the Colorado Fuel and
Iron Company and its employees, the
following is one Of the articles OF
agreement:
"To encourage employees to cul-
tivate flower and vegetable gardens,
the company agrees to fence. free Of
charge, each house lot owned by it. i"
This agreement is in accord with
suggestions made by the Press and
Banner for the betterment of the
home life of employees in industrial
communities in the South, especially
in cotton mill communities.
- There is something better always
than wages, and that something is a
place called home, and the home life
attendant. In most of the industrial
communities hereabouts the houses
for the employees are owned by the
plants, and the houses are huddled
together so closely without partition
fences, that no man is able to tell
Just where his place begins and
where his neighbor's leaves off. Such
condition is not conducive to good
citizenship, and it denies to every
child something he is entitled to, a
backyard Of his own where he is
king.
Most of our cotton mills have been
built in communities where lands
were cheap at the time Of the build
ing. An acre, or at least half acre
of land night have been set apart for
each home, and this fenced off would
have furnished real home for the
occupants, and given them a place
for flower and vegetable gardens
and otherwise conducted to their
comfort. 1t was a great oversight
that this was not done, but this is no
reason why the companies owning
the mills should not now do the best
they can under present circumstan-
ces and fence off these houses, so as
to set every man. home~apart from
that of every other man.

CONCERNING BEGGARS.

Almost every day one is beset by
beggars. They are on the sidewalks,
on the street corners, in the public
places, and they even follow you
home.
On yesterday we had young man
apparently in good health, but
claiming to be an epileptic, going
from house to house in the city, ask
ing aims, desiring he said~to get to
his home in Charlotte.
It is hard to refuse those who beg,
but it is wrong to help every person
who begs. Many of those who travel
over the country seeking livelihood
by this means are undeserving and
criminal. Sometime ago, we were
in Columbia. A young man who had
lost an arm applied to number of
gentlemen for some assistance, say
ing that he had lost his arm in Sa-
vannah and was wanting to get home
to mother (they all want to see
mother) who resided in a northern
city. Two weeks later the same man
was in Abbeville- trying to get to a
western city to see his mother.
People are so much imposed on by
these unworthy persons that we be-
lieve there is but one safe rule to
follow in dealing with them, and that
is to refuse assistance. If the per-
son is able to get away from home,
he should be able to get back there,
and if at home he is worthy of help
his own people will generally help
him if he is away from home and
meets with misfortune, the people
who know him at the place of his
misfortune will assist him in getting
to hs mother. The greater number
Of the beggars are professional ho-
boes, and while they may not be Grim
inal in the sense that they actually
commit crimes, they are a menace to
society and should not be allowed to
travel around the country seeking
help from people who had rather
give little and get rid of them than
refuse little help. There are needy
people among US deserving Of all
the charitable gifts we are able to
make. Why not help them?

SOON SETTLE ISLAND SALE.

Copenhagen, Aug. 21.-After a
long meeting today attended by dele
gates from al parties and by mem
bers of the government, the situation
with regard to the sale of the Danish
West Indies seems clearer and the
belief prevails that coalition ,cabi-
net can be formed and the terms of
the sale of the islands settled. The
proposed new cabinet would include
IL members, instead of ten as now,
and would investigate Immediately
the question of the sale of the DAN
ish Islands to the United States.
Meanwhile plebescite would be held
to obtain the ideas of the people on
the subject. d.

with a letter of endorsement which
the Governor used as an advertise.

WORD moi
RULED AGAINST
In a Solemn Manner by The
Hague Court as Insulting
to the Germans.

THE HAGUE. Nov 80 The

the word Moi" the universal nick

member Of the Second Chamber of
Parliament has been senenced to a
fine OF $40 or Ave days imprison-
