Taft, Re >ublican nominee for president, went to Oyster Bay and submit bed to. President Roosevelt for )pproval or dis approval his 3peech of acceptance, he gave ,mphasis to the prediction of nany that should he be elected le would be subordinate. to the will of Thoodore Roosevelt. Why should President Roosevelt be allowed the privilege of read- I ing beforehand, for the purpose if changing or revising, the 3peech which Mr. Taft has pre pared and which will be one of the most finportant declarations ..W~ampagn, uinlessit-is the carrying out of an inderstand lig that the present occupant of Lhe White- House Is going to ,ake a firm hand in the admin lstration of his successor, in the ovent his party Is successful? There are thousands of Re publicans who want no more of Roosevelt, and when they reflect :eriously upon the significance >f this recent Oyster Bay inci lent, they will bolt at the idea >f voting for a continuance of I the Roosevelt administration by I casting their ballots for Taft. As pointed out by the Colum bla State, "Taft was chosen by I Roosevelt as his successor, and was nominated by the Roosevelt machine at the direction of Roosevelt." Which is true, and even those who were disposed to wonder if they have not been nistaken in the strength of the man. Of course, it was not an nounced what was ~aken from and added to the spee .h of Nom inee Taft by the president; none kmows how important a part Pesident Roosevelt played after all in the framing of that "most imoortant utterance." Judge Taf t's high "regard for the pres ident's judgment" will mean I something to the average Amer,' ican from this-time on. Is Taft free, or is he a sub ordinate of Roosevelt? The Co lumbia State sees in the whole situation "The Hand of Esau." -[Greenville Mews. The Lackawanna Steel Co.

JOURNAL:-PlOase allow 1 ne space ii ,your paper.to cor cot an erroneous impression hat has gotten out or being cir- o ulated in Pickens county with egard to what I said as to my F >osition on compromising and ol prossing cases if elected solic tor in my remarks at the court- v kouse last Wednesday. s It is being circulated that I aid if elected solicitor I would'& kot prosecute cases brought gainst any one for a family ow, a church row or a school 9 ow. It is absolutely false, and v C >elow I will give in full the par graph of my original speech, r >repared J)y myself and made on every stump before reaching lokens, with reference to nol a >rossing and compromising d ases, which is as follows: "Some of my opponents have een telling it all Eround the t Ircuit that It they are electei 0 olicitor they will not nol prosse b :ases, nor will they compromise 0 :ases. Gentlemen, if you elect ne your solicitor I will rol prosse ases and I will compromise ases. I have lived in the court- e iouses of this circuit for years, t mnd I have seen the necessity of loing both in many cases. It osts the taxpayers of a county ;omething to run a court, and it1 s a solicitor's duty, when he in- I resgates a cote and sees there, z notbing l to nol .prosse it, 11d theteby gave the taxpaverp n each and every county .al he .an on court expenses, ahd .to Ir Llso discourage litigation. If 1 t ii elected solicitor there are t hree cases I will never try, pro rided I can get the partied to cether and have them to make t riends by settling their griev- I mnces outside of court and to go 1i iome in peace. They are a fai- k ly row, a church row and a (hool row. I think it is a solic tor's duty to settle those cases )ut of court, if he can do it by 11 iaving the parties to get to- I rether and make friends. Bring t family row into court and air t, and you are liable to have to -ry soie man for killing his )rother or some other member )f the family. Bring a church 'ow into court and air it, and in. ihe future you may have to try iome man for killing a deacon >r for whipping a preacher. Bring a school row into court mid air it, and you-may have to :ry sonic man for killing a teach- t r -or for? 'whipping a trustee. C 3-entrlmen, these cases should oe settled out of .conrt, if such i thing be possible." This 13 a correct report of my remarks on the subiect at the' ourthouse last Wednesday, and I. [ refer any ;one who doubts the ~ :oirrectness of it to cither one or ill of my opponents, or to any me who is willing to give me:1 justice who heard what I did I say. Yours very truly, M. C. &pp Candidate for Solicitor. Notioe of Partnership The undersigned hereby gives notice that on the 25th day of, July, 1908, they formed a part nership as provided by Chapter B9, Code of Laws of 1902, for the, purpose of doing a general mner-I cantile business in the town of* Liberty, Pickens County, South Carolina.

This is a meeting of workers nd leaders in Baptist denomi ational work, which convened r the second time on the 20th ist., lasting until the evening f the 24th. The assembly was held on the 'urman University grounds, 'here were 94 registered at Mon igue dornitory, where they rere pleasantly domiciled for a nall amount. Prof. Geer had barge of this part, and he roved to be a charming host. 'he business meetings were in udson Alumni hall, the pro rammes being under the super Ision of Mr. J. D. Moore, of !olumbia, who is in the front )nks on Sunday school work. avery department of church rork was discussed by many ble soldiers of the cro3s, and reat good and much benefit was erived from the discussions. Among the many good foa Lires was the series of lectures n the Baptist Young People's [ovenient by Rev. Jos. Watts, f Lexington, N. C. He is a oung preacher of great talent -a powerful and forceful speak r-a blessing to his church and imankind. There were Drs. Frost of Nash ille, C. C. Brown of Sumter, troughton and Willingham of tichniand, and many others, whom to hear is a. rare priv The assembly Is: orginized to nieet each year for the purpose efore stated, and it lis a good hing. If the people would attend' hese meetings more they would :eep- in closer touch with all uies of church work. Then nowledge would beget interest, ,nd thus our people would be ome energetic, enthusiastic la orers in the vineyard of the ,ord. Pointed Paragraphs. The man who sees no good in thers is no good. Many a woman who can swim 3 unable to get. in. There is no hope for the man vho has lost his self-respect. It is harder to remember some hings than it is not to forget thers. A man who hasn't a single ad habit seldom amounts to nch. Something you get for noth ng is usually worth just about hat much. Beware of a meek man or a neek mule; it is the unexpected *li'at happens. Stop worrying about the sor ows of yesterday and go after he joys of to-day. There is always some man tround who is willing to second my kind of a motion. Money makes the mare go-or :ome, or stay, according to the vay it talks to the jockey. If there is such a thing as a erfect woman it must be one wvho is able to conceal her im erfections.-[Ch icago News.

That good old-fashioned Sunday school Is gone with all its joys, Its timid-looking little girls And hairy-legge'd boys; The calicoes of long ago Are changed for finer frocks, Anl hairy legs are hidden nosy In polka-dotted socks. That good old-time religion, too, You'll look for it in vain, The kind that made the soul rejoice And eased the heart of pain The kind thai made the wom0 i shout And made the men confess, It passed away, with linen yat And the old alpaca dress. The good old songs they used to sing, I'd love to hear them yet, The songs that made the repent' And made the eyelids wet; The songs that rose until tli church From floor to eiling shook, j~ When everybody knew the tuni And sang without a book. They preach a different doc.' trinle now .In wordrthat love to dwell Upon a complex paradise And a scientific hell; I do not say that they are wo But Christian hopes we higher When heaven had its at streets And hell was fnll af mm
