It will take at least a barrel or two of whitewash to make Lorimer white since the last revelations in his bribery case. You can't bother the Smart Set by making them wear sackcloth, in Lent, bo long as they can get it fitted by a high cost dressmaker. The.Atlanta Journal remarks that one never hears of the poor boy who worked his way through college and then didn't amount to shucks, after all. So it seems that Lorimer's seat in the United States Tenate was bought for him by big trusts. At least that is the confession of a big trust mag nate. The British house of lords con tinues to squirm in trying to avoid the surgical operation that thraatens to cut the tail off just behind the ears. The dropping of one hundred use less pbsltions among employes of the House of Representatives is a ,aad an i cruel blow to hungry Demo crats. Tuesday Uncle Sam's new hired men got to work in Congress. All they have to do to keep their jobs Is to obey the old gentleman's or ders, which the former gang declined to do. The Indications are the standpat Democrats in the Senate will prevent any remedial tariff legislation at the special session of Congress. At least that is the way it looks, we are sorry to say. Senator Smith voted for a progres sive for Democratic leader of the Sen ate. He takes no standpatism in his'n. Senator Tlllman was not pres ent and therefore his vote is not re corded.. There is nothing to be gained in turning out good, faithful city of ficials just to put others in their places. The Times and Democrat ias always opposed this policy, and does now. President Barrett, of the Farmers Uniorj, tells the farmers they must watch their Congressmen and Sena tors and see how they vote on the tariff and other measures that robs the fijmers for the benefit of others. In the line up for leader of the Democrats in the Senate we are glad to notice that all the new Senators voted for a progressive. These Sen ators have recently been before the people, and the way they voted is somewhat significant. The standpatter in both the Dem> ocratlc and Republican parties would like 1o see Mr. Bryan stay away from Washington. They are very much afraid that he will interfere with their arrangements to keep the trust magnates in the saddle. Wonder what some of the littlq three-for-a-quarter editors who are eternally abusing Bryan would do If some city would offer them two mil lion cents to locate in its midst? They would break their neck to ac cept the wonderful offer, no douot. Every time Bryan protests against the people being robbed through the tarlf.', or some other thieving meas ure, the plutocratic press sets up a how.' and call Bryan hard names. But it is no use. The people know Bryan and they know the newspapers that abuEe him, and they can't be fooled. The Missouri senate has unani mously endorsed the senators from that state for voting against Lori mer. As both of the Missouri sena tors voted no, it was easy to be unanimous, but what will those states do that were so unfortunate as to have senators voting on both sides; which senator will they m dorte? Champ Clark has selected Judge Charles Crisp, of Georgia as parlia mentary clerk. Mr. Bryan says "it Is a good appointment. Judge Crisi is f. son of the late Speaker Crisp and learned parliamentary law un der his father who is remembered wito affection and esteem by the democrats who served with him. Tne son, however, does not have to rely upcn his father's name and fame; he has merit of his own and will vindi cat2 Mr. Clark's wisdom in appoint ing him." Hats off to Mrs. Clarinda Cope, a I female performer from Chicago, wiio has the distinction of being the first] of her kind who has investigated the ch id labor question in the South and acknowledged the real conditions, says Tiber and Fabric. .Mrs. Cope finds "the cotton mills of the South a blessing to the poor people, j I lave found." she said, "that the so-called child labor is on the de-! crease and wages are as good as they j aTe in the North, with a margin in I Xa ror of the young people." Let Them All Alone. In all the large cities there are so called brokerage concerns and, indi viduals that are engaged in defraud ing the public by selling, worthlesb investment securities. In New York city the other day the postoffiee au thorities arrested three members of a firm charged with obtaining during the past few years, more than $2, 000,000 by the selling of worthless stocks of oil and mining companies. This concern advertised largely, and followed up its advertisements with alluring prospectuses sent through the mails. It was such use of the mails that enabled the PostolSce de partment to act. In every commun ity there are honest, hardworking, industrious men and women pos sessed of a few hundred dollars, per haps, who want suddenly to hecome rich and are constantly seeking the get-rich-quick route. They read al luring advertisements, bite the bait, and are soon parted from their mon ey for which they have taken. In ex change beautiful engraved pieces of parchment and large promises. They do not know that no more than one [oil company in 50 ever makes a dol lar, or more than one mine in 300 ever pans out But such are the facts. It was P. T. Barnum who said that a fool was born every min ute. He may have been right But for the fools some men In this world would never get a living. It was Bar num who also said that the people like to be humbugged, and they do. when they know they are being hum bugged, but they always resent being played for suckers, though they swal low bait, hook, sinker and ail. Our advice to all is to let these feet rich quick concerns alone. Everyone of them are frauds and humbugs. If you have money to invest do not invest It with strangers, but with people you know and in home en terprises. Our Right Hand Man. An old editor over in Missouri, who had owned and edited a news paper for the past forty pears, retir ed and turned the business over to his son. If we live seven years long er, we can do the same thing, as then we will have been connecwd with The Times and Democrat forty years, and we have a son, connected with the office now, who is fully compe tent to take our place, when Old Fa ther Time bids us stand aside. That time is not very far distant.?Orange burg Times and Democrat. We had no. idea Brother Sims had been connected with The Times and Democrat so long, possibly because we have been so accustomed to look upon him as one of the young men on the press of the State. We hope he may he spared many times se"en years and that he will continue the work he is now doing. Truth is we think that boy he speaks of now re lieves him of all the details connected with the making of the pa. .er and a fine boy he is.?Newberry Herald and News. Thank you, Brother Aull, for your good wishes and kind words, both to us and that boy. You have> diagnos ed the case exactly. For three years now we have turned over the details of the office to that boy, who is not yet a voter. He manages all the bus iness affairs, including the finances, and he has acquitted himself so well that we know The Times and Demo crat will be in good hands when Old Father Time bids us stand aside, and we turn it over to him completely. Why Men Don't Go. A preacher in a distant city some time ago Invited full, frank and free answer from the avemge mans standpoint why men do not go to church and taking these answers as a text, he preached a sevies of ser mons, inviting the non-church goers to come and listen to the discussion. This was a very practical way to handle a situation that doubtless confronts the churches in all the cities, says the Augusta Herald. The question is "Why is It that more men do not go to church?" Who can answer it. The Herald asks, "What do you imagine is the percentage of the male population in Augusta who do not go to church and what is the reason ?why more men in Augusta do not go to church? The problem is one that ought to interest both the men of the city as well as the churches of Augusta." The question of non-church at tendance generally, and the non-at tendance of church by men partic ularly, has been a subject of dis cussion for several years in the news papers and magazines of the coun try. That men do not go to church like they did some years back is a fact patent to all. Who ^an tell why such is the case. Gets Good Places. South Carolina gets only two con gressional committee chairmanships, Lever heading educatiou and Finley printing, but the delegation is well represented on the other important committees. Legare is on foreign af fairs and Territories. Byrnes gets good committees for a new member, banking and currency and war claims. Johnson is on the appropri ations committee, one of the biggest. Ellerbe says he got just what he wanted. Finley had share in the harmony programme. T'he following are South Carolina assignments: Approjriations, Johnson. "Banking and currency, Byrnes. Rivers and harbors, Ellerbe. Agriculture, Lever. Foreign affairs, Legare. Post offices, Finley. Territories, Leigare. Railways and canals, Ellerbe. Education, Lever, chairman. Pensions, Aiken. War claims, Byrnes. Printing, Finley, chalrma... District of Columbia, Aiken. Civil service reforms, Finley. Irrigation, Ellerbe. How Is It Here? The dreadful disaster in New York, resulting in the death of 150 help less creatures, would probably have been evaded, if proper fire escapes and means of egress Lad been provid ed. That they were not was due either to gross negligence on the part of the civic authorities in not en forcing the law involved, or to the cupidity of property owners who were willing to risk the lives of their fel low creatures rather than install safety appliances. Not unlikely the blame should be distributed, but nothing can bring to life those who suffered so horrible a death or re move the anguish of mind from thosb who are bereaved. Evidently in all such buildings insufficiently supplied with fire escapes and used as the building was used where the disas ter happened, the thousands of em ployees take their lives in their hands when they go to work. How is it right here at home? Are all our public buildings properly fixed to safeguard human life? THE AWAKENING. How little do we know or care Of Poverty and Want, Until abroad those creatures fare To pause, red-eyed and gaunt, Upon the threshold of that way Where Plenty guarded yesterday; And then to cast their venomed darts All stained with blood of men, To hidden corners of our hearts Again and yet again, How little do we ever feel Of sympathy for Woe, Till Sorrow as a thief dcth steal Our joy and tread it low, Or send to us some bitter shame To tarnish an unblemished name, Or yet Despair on vulture wings Doth fall upon the heart, And fiercely tear the tenBioned strings Till blood of life doth start. And so It is we better learn, The height of joy when we Through our own sorrows may dis cern, The depth of misery. ?Amarlta B. Campbell. Extensive Order for New Equipment. The Atlantic Coast Line is show ing its faith as to future conditions, in that it has plased the following extensive order for additional equip ment: 15 Pacific type passenger engines. 2 0 large freight engines. 25 passenger coaches. 4 combination mall and express cars. \ 1400 box cars. 50 phosphate cars. 50 ballast cars. 20 caboose cars. This equipment will be delivered during the summer, and will place the Coast Line in position to meet the demands of the traveling and shipping public. ?This large order of freight equip ment, taken in connection with the extensive double tracking and bridge work going on at various points on the line, indicates that the Atlantic Coast Line proposes to keep in the front ranks of Southern railways.
