C, by registered let ter, check or money, .order. The editors and their friends who went on the trip to New York have returned home, after having a most dolli.htful time. The Bamberg Herald wants "read y-prints" a|nd advertising arrange ments between railroads and newspa pers abolished. Wonder why? * *~ sBpartanburg is right in refusing to tuun over her streets to an Interbur ham railway as an inducement to get it/ to come her way. She had better dp without the road than pay such a p/rice for It. I James A. Patten .of Chicago, the fallow who inadj millions by corner irrer the wheat market, says it seems to\him that the United States gov ernment is prosecuting any one who has aay^'ng over fifteen or twenty cents.^v-r. Patten must be blilious. An exchange says friendship, like gold, mVeds the acid test of adversity to determine Its value. That is true and many times the frlensblp of so called friends is found to be like a great mnny things that pass for gold, when the test is applied It proves false. Tbe story sent out from Columbia to the affe?t that the graduating class refused to have Governor Blease pre sent their rllplomrs proves to be with out foundation. However much Gov. Bleaso may be disliked, newspaper correspondents should stick to the truth or ehse their facts. . (Once on a time. The Times and Democrat used what is known as a "ready-print," and would do bo again if necessity required it. Ready-prints have been used by many of the best newspaper^ in the State, and we know of no reason why a newspaper should lose cast fcr using them. "Here is Andrew Carnegie's recipe for securing a good wife: "Pick a girl who takes care of her mother? the girl who is useful in the house hold and does not make the most show in the ball room." Andrew Knows quKre a number of things be sides the secret of making money. The man who thinks that by the wthdrawal of a little hit of patronage he can coerce the TImeB and Demo crat into doing his will is a fool. The Times and Democrat walked in the middle of the road more than once when it could have picked up several hundred dollars by wobbling just a little to the right or left. James Gayley, former vice presi dent of the United States Steel cor poration admitted before the congres sional committee investigating; the steel trust that there was a "gentle man's agreement" between mann factorers In thlB country to keep the price of steel rails at $28 a ton. This was Teddy's favorite trust The Anderson Mail says: "There is no use attempting to disguise the fact that the prohibition sentiment that was very strong in South Caro lina a few years ago has suffered a severe setback. In fact, the move ment seems all but dead." The last election on the subject at Green ville does not bear out the Mall's as sertion. In accordance with their policy of attracting the attention of the out side world to the manifold advan tages of the South, the Southern Railway and aliied lines have arrang o mf.ke a comprehensive exhibit at t?^ A nerlcan Land and Irrigation Exposition to be held In Madison Square Oarden, New York City, Nov. 3 to 12. ; Henry Woodrlg, of Chicago, dream ed that he was one of the world's greatest aviators and that he was crossing the English Channel early Wednesday and as a result he is in the couiity hospital with a broken hip, fractured arm, and several mi nor Injuries which he received when be jumped out of bed. That kind of aviation is almost as dangerous as the real thing. Unanimous in the opinion that Mrs. Nettie J. Albert, teacher of the fourth grade ol the Inman Park School, At lanta, tad been too Bevere in whip ping Fred Mauldln, one of Tio> pupils the board of education decided Thurs day that Mrs. Albert should be pub licly censured before her sister tea chers. The board did right. No tea cher should be allowed to punish a child too severely with impunity. IA dispatch from Washington says that it Is the general opinion in that city thai; a severe blow has been dealt the pure food act by the Supreme Court In the case of O. A. Johnson. The Greenville Daily Piedmont says it is regarded as the'^nost Important ruling the court ever made in con nection with the pure food law, as it is claimed It practically throws open the doors to patent medicine manu factoreri! and fakirs of all descriptions Farmers and the Tariff. It is astonishing how long the farmers of the West and the East have allowed themselves to he fooled into tho hellet that the protective t:riff was a good thing for them. Of course, the Republican leaders, who worked the tariff fake for so many years, cared nothing about the farm er except to get his vote so as they could retain their power and manip ulate the government in the interests of the big trusts and combines, in ?whose- interests all the tariff lawB .aYe" passed. The farmers of the j^untry are benig Tobbed of ten tim$s ?s much as they get. out of .the .tariff by the trusts thai the ta riff laws have made possible. The Vesult of the election last fall gave the Republicans to understand that their game of robbing the many for the. benefit of the few was at last to ,be stopped. President Taft, among the first of the Republicans to see the handwriting on the wall, immediately got busy. He oalled Congress together and appealed to the Democrats to come to the relief of the country, after his own party had refused to do anything he asked of th?m along that line. Tho Demo cratic h?use fresh from the people, nassed and sent to the Republican Senate an agreement with Canada by which tr~ free exchange of products is permit-id. ' This agreement, known as the Ca nadian Reciprocity Treaty, allows the free exchange between this country and Canada, of lumber, wood pulp, print paper and all kinds of grain and animals. The Lumber Trust and the Paper Trust are doing all they can to have the Senate reject this treaty. To weaken . ft tthey have employed a firm of prouoters to work up sentiment against it, and to testify before the Congressional Com mittee that the farmers ar-> opposed to the treaty. Actually some officers of what Is called the "National Grange" have declared against the treaty and have threatened members of Congress with the wrath of the farmers. But the farmers refused to allow themselves to be used for such a pur pose, -and the action of the "National Gramme'' has been repudiated by seven local granges in New Hamp shire, and the fact has been brought out that the New York firri of pro moters were not grangers or farmers, but men paid by the Lumber Trust and the Piper Trust to fight the 'treaty. This Is the way the big trusts manages to fool the people and tax them to death. They have Dlenty of money, and they use it freely to corrupt legislatures, con gressmen, judges and other officials to do their bidding and continue to give them the right to pi under the people. The farmers generally, but more especially of the South, sell what they produce at prices fired in the open markets of the world. There the farmer gets no protection, for pro tection is not possible. But when, with the proceeds of his cotton crop, the Southern farmer seeks to buy cottor>, bagging and ties and wire fencing, or cotton c.othiw?., or woolen clothing or house building mater ial, or. house furnishing materials, he finds he must pay the price fixed in the Amerioan markets, from which foreign materials are excluded by a prohibitive tariff. In th'a way tht. tariff holds up the farme:.' for others to rob him. When he complains he is told that there is an import duty en all farm products as well. So there la, but as few farm products are ever imported, these duties -are kept on the list solely for the purpose of deceiving the Amelcan farmer and to have be lieve he, too, is protected. It is all for political -Tect. So now the hired attorneys are telling the American farmer he is to be ruined by the Can adian reciprocity. American farmers have nothing to fear from Canadian farm products. It costs as much to raise, wheat in Canada as in the United States. It costs more to raise corn, and cotton cannot ,be raised In Canada at all. ?What the American farmer, North and South, wants is wither markets. Reciprocity with Canada widens our rr.aikets a little; lei. us have it. Then let us have reciprocity treaties with all Europe; in time with all the world. Say to your own leaders, say to your political representatives at Washington, that you are not op posed to reciprocity with Canada; that you will take it today ,?nd hope for something better tomrrow. This is the only way that the farmer can keep the trusts from plundering him and taking all he makes. All the farmer asks is that the robber tariff be repealed so as he will not be robbed of what he makes by the trusts it creates. Doing Its Full Share. The Southern Railway is doing I's full share in helping to induce some of the sturdy farmers of the west who are moving to Canada to come this way. The Columbia Stat:e says in The Register and Leader, the principal paper of Iowa, published at Des 'Molnes, it finds an "advertisement by the Southern Railway of 'Wonder ful Opportunities for Homeseekers in the South.' There is a brief summary of recent agricultural achievements, the assurance that the development Is amazing and an invitation to all in terested to write for rates for 'the twlce-a-month Homeseekers' Excur sions,' and free copies of the 'South ern Field' in which is presented an array of facts about the South.' The State says "!n t^e same Issue of the Register and Leader are col umns of advertisements of lands in Colorado, Florida, Canada, Brazil, California, Dakota, Missouri, Minne sota, Wisconsin, U*an, Montana, and North Dakota. Evidently the people of Iowa are buying land freely In oth er states or such appeals would not be made to them. The Southern Railway does the best It can in the circumstances, but it cannot crystal lize attention upon one spot, nor es cape the idea in wouldbe settler's mind htattechehf ietaol shrdlucfniv mind that the chief interest of the road Is In the price of the excursion ticket." "If a legislative committee was ad vertising South Carolina's opportu nites all over the middle West and could say that there were 1,000 or 10,000 pieces of land listed with the Department of Agriculture by the owners, at nonspeculative prices, also water-power and mill sites, and in formation about a hundered manu f-ctoring tfpportunties, and that a homeseekers excursion would leave Des Moines for Columbia on a certain, day, allowing a week for inspection of properties in this State?if that were done, and attention fixed on South Carolina, then would home seekers come here." That is the sort of advertising to pay South Carolina and that is the sort of advertising the Legislature had the opportunity to undertake, with the railroads paying half, or more, of the cost, says the State. That Is true, and we doubt if South Carolina will ever have an opportuni ty again so favorable to induce a most desirable lot of settlers to come her way. These farmers who are going to Canada and other places from the West are the very kind of people we want to come here and buy farms. They have money and are thrifty and enterprising, and will make the best kind of citizens. CLASSIFIED COLUMN One-half Cent a Word Found Notice? Free, Lost?A plain gold bracelet, with initials E. O.
