ONE DOLLAR A YEAR IN ADVANCE OFFICIALORGAN OF DOUGLAS COUNTY All communications intended for pub cation should be addressed to The New South. The editor of this paper is not respon sible for the views of its contributors THUBSDAf. MARCH 6 1902 Spain, poor Spain! her latest sun is sinking. By this time even South Carolina must be growing tired of Tilman. Senator Clay has pushed through the senate a bill appropriating $200,- 000 for a mai me hospital at Sayan nah. The heave rains of last Friday did great damage ail over the country. Several railroad wrecks have resulted from swoolen streams and washouts, Chariman Dußignon, of the state democratic executive committee, an nounces that the committee will con vene in a few weeks and fix the date for the primary. The primary will likely be held in May or June. Pnsident Palma, recently elected to the head of the Cuban government, will early pull up stakes m the Unit ed States and go to see about the honor. He has been in this country for twenty years and may long wish he had remained here. His enemies in Cuba are many and they may make life a little unpleasant for him. Pal ma is a good and safe man but such virtues do not always constitute a suitable shield. A twenty per cent, cut in tariff is proposed for Cuba. That is a little help but the crumb is entirely too small. We went to Cuba with the humanitarian spirit; we drove out the persecutor; we sent away the per jecutois trade; we took supervision of foreign treaties; we put a com mercial bainer between tLe little is land ana Europe; we put them where they must find a market in the United States or perish. And in the face of this we propose a tariff wall over which they can hardly climb. It looks very much like the beet sugar industries have absorbed the human!- tarian spirit and shoved a bit of sei fishness to the front. Charles Broadway Rouss died in New York Monday. He was well advanced in years and his record shows that his long life was not one ahifiessness. He was born in Mary land, grew wealthy in Virginia, lost bis fortune in the civil war and a massed another in New York. In ’73 the merchant prince failed, but got on his feet again and died with millions in his grasp. He was generous with hie money and the cause of charity found him a willing helper. He was devoted to the South and to the con* federate cause. He died an unre constructed rebel. The lite of Mr. Kouss illustrates what there is in jkpluck and persistence. His idea was ■•Bmo wait tor opportunity but to go aLer it. He went, he conquered. He demonstrated that poverty is no barrier against wealth. The labor question is getting seri one all over the country. The ne groes are Socking to the towns and cities and the fields are left without hands to till. The farmers in Geor gia are feeling the effect of it; the es feet is being felt all over the south. The laborer must be had or ruination will follow. Where is be to come from? Some argue for the China man, but the yellow man is not likely to get here. His habits and price make him undeeirabh, in pairs of Louisiana and Texas the Italian and the Mexican have been brought in and the Mexican has filled the place right well, better than the Italian. The Mexican man is close to us, can be pulled across the border without much trouble and bo may be the so lation of the problem. What the negro will do is vet to be seen. Not many professions are open to him, and, if education lakes him from ag ncelxure and industry, he will become a knotty proposition tor himself and Lieutenant Governor Tilman, brother of the noted Benjaman, head ed a movement to buy a sword for Maj. M. J. Jenkins and wrote a let ter inviting Roosevelt to deliver It during his visit to Charleston. When Roosevelt canceled the invitation in viting Senator Tilman to the state dinner m honor of Prince Henry Lieutenant Tilman canceled the invi tation inviting Roosevelt to deliver the sword. He seems to have acted independently in this matter, and the contributors looked upon the act as inadvisable. Following this the city council of Charleston and the direct ors of the Charleston exposition sat down upon the Lieutenant Governor by renewing the invitation calling Roosevelt to Charleston and appoint ing special committees to carry reso lution to the President. Roosevelt will make the trip to South Carolina. NOT A CANDIDATE. Col. James Expresses Thanks For Proffered Support Bat Will Not Enter Race. Editor New South: I see you have on several occasions mentioned me as a probable candidate foi senator from this district. I write to say I have not been, am not now, and do not expect to be a candidate for this of fice lam very grateful to my friends in this ccunty, as well as the other counties in the district who have urg ed me to become a candidate. I don’t teei at this time that-1 could do so, without great sacrifice to business affairs, which claim my immediate and continuous attention. And while each and all of the other gentlemen who have been mentioned as possible candidates for this position have said to me if 1 would run they would support me and not become candi dates themselves, I do not feel that I could afford at present to accept the position, if tendered to me without opposition. For all of those whose names have been mentioned 1 entertain the kindest consideration especially when they offer to lay aside their own aspiration and sup port me should I become a candidate. I do not wish to be understood as not appreciating the almost unani mous support the people of thia coun ty and other sections have given me when heretofore a candidate for of fice. Such is not the case. I have tried to show my gratitude for the trust copfided to me by filling each of these places to the best of my ability, both as to the party to which I belong and these of other parties. While put of‘office 1 am a democrat, In office I’ev been ah officer without partisonship.only filling the positions as my duty required me to do toward all alike. And so far as my acts are concerned us a member of either branch of the General Assembly of this state and cs an official of the United States Government for the Northern district of Georgia they are without censure so far as 1 know or have heard. Ido not claim my ree ord is without mistakes. For of all the long line of duties required of me in the different position it would be next to imposibie if 1 did not in some instances make mistakes. But one thing I do claim is my duties were conscientiously performed. At least I believe all my public acts will suc cessfully withstand any attack made upon them. Again extending my personal and highest regards for any consideration that has been given me, concerning the candacy above named, and trusting our people may select the one most suited to fill this posi tion all things considered, I am very truly yours, J. 8. James. Quaker. The health is good in this com munity at this time. The farmers have got their noses turned up owing to so much rain. Mr. Ben Walkin celebrated his 68th birthday 20th of last month by I giving a nice dinner. Miss Una Nowell was visiting in 1 this community last week. The school closed at this place Friday.
