If we f.ro not going bo enforce the speed limit ordinance we should repeal it. Open violation of one ordinance induces contempt for all other ordinances. From every man, however obscure, there radiates some influence. It rests with himself whether that in fluence shall be good or bad, lifting a fellow man up or dragging him down. , The peculiar 'character of the de cisions rendered by some of the jur ists of lower courts upon matter af fecting combines and trusts will have a tendency to strengthen the move ment for judicial recall. ? Taft will be the next nominee of the Republican party for president, and he will be defeated by Wood row Wilson, who will lead the Dem ocratic hosts to the greatest victory they have won since the war. The hookworm commission says the diseaiie is less prevalent in S?rth Carolina than in any other southern state. The Advocate says "it is less prevalent in Anderson than in any other town in South Carolina" except Orangeburg. By delay and treachery in the Ca nadian reciprocity agreement the Re publicans In the United States Sen ate hope to kill that measure. But the people will see through their de ception, and will hold them responsi ble in the next election for not giving consumers the relief they so much need. The corrupt politician is willing to sacrifice principle for the sake of his party while the true politician is ready to sacrifice his party, if need be, for the triumph of principle. It is true that all things come to who waits, but dt is clear that some do not always recognize that for which they have waited when ulti mately it does come. The Advocate says "there Is much Interesting and .valuable his tory in Anderson county that is fast being forever lost. There are many names once famous, and makers of history of the county, now extinct.'' Why not turn the data over to State Historian Salley? He gave ? Oran?s*?burg the best county history in the United State, and he would give Anderson county the next best. In the good old dys when "lick in' and larnin' " went together, a teacher's preparation did not neces sarily include a course in a univer sity or a normal school. A county examiner in one of the states of the Mississippi valley once asked a young man what special preparation he had made for teching. The can didate answered: "I've dug my ta ters, sold my mj.re, and now I'm ready to go at it" The Charlotte Observer says: "The potash dispute between the combina tions of American fertilizer manufac turers and German mine operators has been settled practically on a basis which means that the advance in prices will not rest on the first named combination's shoulders for even a brief period but will be transTerrec to the farmer at once" Will that be the result after the fuss made about the matter in con gress? The Hartsville Messenger says "The crop outlook is pretty gloomy. What we need is more earnest prayer. A prosperous people are prone to think that their success is due en tirely to their own efforts. This is a mistake. It is a fearful thing to leave God out of our affairs. He rules and controls the universe and there is no way we can devise to get along without His help. We should remember this at all times and we would all get along bette.." The Times and Democrat suggested sometime ago that meetings be held and specie! prayers be made for rain. Now comes one Rev. M. D. Gage, who served as chaplain in Sherman's army, claiming that Columbia was set on fire by a "bummer" of Sher man's army and not by a soldier. That migh; do for Mr. Gag*, but he will excuse us if we decline to swal low this belated story. Unfortunate ly for Rev. Mr. Gage and others, who try to prove that Sherman did not burn Columbia, the great Incendiary burned other places. He burneu Orangeburg, and his line of march could be traced by the ruins of homes he burned. We do not blame Mr. Gage for being ashamed of the diabolical acts of such men as Sher man, but when he undertakes to proves him guiltless of them, he simply undertakes the impossible. Sherman was the destroyer of homes and the insulter and persecutor of women and children and history will ?3 record hdm." Teddy After Votes. Under the title "Wisconsin: An object-Lesson for the Rest of the Union." Mr. Roosevelt contributes an editorial to the Outlook in Which ho says: I doubt whether American students of social economies fulfy realize the extraordinary work that has been ac complished during the last decade, and is now being accomplished, in the State of Wisconsin under the lead of Senator La Follette" and of the group of entirely practical at the same time zealously enthusias tic workers who have come into ac tive control of the State mainly or largely because of the' lead he has given them. When Mr. Roosevelt w as President he said of Senator Root: Elihu Root is the ablest man I have known in our Government ser vice. I will go further. He is the greatest man that has appeared in. the public life of any country, in any position, on either side of the ocean, in any time. The New York World says it is a most catholic political admiration that can enrbrace both Senator La Follette and Senator Root; but Mr. Roosevelt is capable of admiring any political influence that is likely to control a considerable number of del egates to a Republican National Con vention. It ought to be very flat tering to the Senator from Wisconsin to know that be has reached a point at which he can be as useful to Mr. Roosevelt as Elihu Foot. Dryest May on Record. The Columbia Record says "the drouth now menacing the crops all over the state as well as, making life exceedingly hot, really had its be ginning last November. The present dry spell is part of the larger cycle of 1-ack of rain fall. "Since November 1, 1910, there has been 7.48 inches of rain; the normal precipitation is 22.76 inches for the same period. Thus the de ficiency is 15.28 inches, or the rain fall since November 1 has been about 33 per cent "f what it should have amounted to. "There have been 29 days in May without rain, according to the United States weather bureau Mon day morning. The precipitation of rain has been 14 incher.?the dryest May on record, the ne:tt being the May of 1899, when the fall was .65 inches. The normal for this month is 3.19 'inches; 4 per oent of this amounts practically to nothing. "May has broken the record for number of days in succeision without rain; 25 years ago, or -perhaps long er still, is the only spring known to rival it. There are no prospects for rain in the next 36 hours, says the weather bureau at 11 o'clock Mon day morning. The rivers all over South aCrolina are exceedingly low, and the creeks have gone bad altogether In many sections., The gardens by report at the weather .bureau are in a sad plight, amounting, in fact, to no gar dens at all." This Takes the Cake. A remarkable story about a hen comes from Tarrytown. N. Y. The story runs that "the White Leghorn hen owned by John Grohan, of Glen ville, which a few weeks ago follow ea him to the trolley car to pay his fare with a nickel he had for gotten, is today being praised for her latest act of loyalty to her master. "Grohan had startec'i to build a I small chicken coo: ? The hen stood by and watched him pick up the nails and drive them home. After he had picked up half a dozen the hen walked over and picked up one with her beak and dropped it in his hand. This was simple, and Grohan was getting along well with his job when he smashed 'his finger. "With this handicap he couldn't hold the nails. The hen, seeing,that something was wrong, held a nail In her beak. Grohan placed the hen's head near the bosrd, and with a gentle tap, started the nail, and the hen then picked up another. It was an easy job after that, the hen hold ing the nails against the boards and Grohan driving them home. The coop was soon completed." This hen story takes the cake^ It beats the best fish stories of the sea son, and puts Grohan af. the head of the class of story tellers. Still Harping on Bryan. The Greenwood Journal says: "There are indications that the Hon. William Jennings Bryan is not dead. He is beginning to move around and make speeches here and there. We see that he is to visit Georgia and South Carolina soon. This raises the question as to whettu the Demo cratic party is to have this man to deal with in the next presidential campaign. Is Jt possible that he will aspire to leadership and seek to get the nomination? Should he be nominated it would mean sure, cer tain and most ignominious defeat. But we do not believe that he can be nominated. We wish that some thing could be done t? keep Mr. Bryan an the back ground. We have had too much of him, and a great deal too much at that." Will the. Journal be kind enough to point out the great harm Mr. Bryan has done the Democratic party or ;,he country? Why should he be kert in the back ground, and in what way, have we had too much of him? Does the Journal consider .Mr. Pryan a bad man who should be suppressed? Our regret is that we have not more men like Bryan. They are badly needed dn this time serving, hypo critical, moneylloving age. The Hobble Skirt. There are fashions and fashions in the matter of dress. Some at once commend themselves by their neat and graceful appearance and for the comfort they give. But then therq are others so outrageous in design so decidedly uncomfortable to wear, so offensive to good taste, and so re pellant to good judgement, that one wonders how any woman can bring CLASSIFIED COLUMN One-half Cent a Word Found Notices Free.

There is nothing more graceful or more healthful than a good carriage and firm, elastic step, but that is impossible when one dis figures herself and hampers her movements with a hobble skirt. It has not one redeeming feature about it, and probably those who wear it do so in obedience to an arbitrary de cree of fashion or because they seek notoriety.
