Mr. Brys-n eays the Republicans are in office but not in power. While they draw the salaries, the Democrats furnish tie policies that are being carried act. ? . -Andrew Carnegie thinks that all the fuss and ' feathers over the coronation of King George of Eng land Is a roaring farce. We rather agree with the old gentleman. If we are to judge by the at tentions pftiid Mr. Bryan In the differ ent towns in South "Carolina during his recent visit to them, we would say he is shout as popular as ever. We predict that Senator Bailey of Texas, will be defeated in his race for re-eiectlori to the Senate and will re move to New York and become or fry to become a grea'. trust lawyer. The new Lorimer investigators are threatening to subpoena the entire membership of the Illinois Legisla ture which gave him his alleged elec tion. An exchange says it might be well for property owners In the vicin ity of this particular hearing to nail -all valuable down. Orangelmrg is indebted to the Hon. Thos. P. 'Brantley for the handsome manner In which' he entertained Mr. Bryan on Ms visit to this city. Mr. Brantley in* a_ personal friend and great adrilrer x>f the distinguished gentleman, and It was a pleasure for1 him to have Mr. Bryan in his home. ; In his short political talk Mr. Bryan proved conclusively that the Republicans are now trying to enact into law pedicles that they denounced when first put in Democratic plat forms. H<i said it was .becoming a bard matter for the Democrats to adopt any policy that the Republicans would no: Bteal. The Charlotte Observer tells of a man In that State under arrest for beating mi wife with a stick, the thickness of a fishing rod. Cowhides do not come in that size, we believe, but the usual size, In -the hands of a' stout constable, laid On the bare back for:y times save one, should prove an excellent instrument of re formatlor.. Senator LaFollette's candidacy for the Republican presidential nomina tion has, oT course, no prospect what ever of success. The Charlotte Ob server says apparently It is designed, in view o:.' the exposure which has come upon Insurgent Republican as sumptions of superior virtue, chiefly as the only means of establishing clear distinctions between regular and insurgent! again. The N?wberry Observer this week prints a etfef from Governor Blease requesting It to stop the paper from coming tT his office. He states that he subscribed to the paper because it was a home paper, hut wishes It stopped because of recent "dirty" fllnvs which It has made. The Ob server says "the governor does not specifv what he is pleased to call the "dirty little flings" and we are at a loss to know what he means; but it is Immaterial." That Carrie Nation was a good wo man with good intentions but of mis directed zeal is the general verdict. It goes without saying that the tempta tion to resort to physical violence to be rid. of evils is sometimes very strong. Put such methods are nt.th er wise or right. It does not to do to create one evil to destroy another, nor to break the law that othei peo ple may keep it. The destruction of evils will be brought about by better laws, education and a higher stand ard of morals. In hit; speech on the Canadian reciprocity .bill, Senator Bailey sought at once to uphold Democratic views on tariff reduction and to overthrow the agreement which will carry those views into effect. In one sentence he loudly proclaimed his loyalty to the prineipl'-s of Democracy. In the next he denounced the practical *\. plication of a doctrine for which his party has long stood and striven. His place is in the Republican party, where he would be if Teras was a Republicoan State. Many stout hearts that pass through direct nominations and dir ect election of senators without a quiver hesitate at the referendum. Others go on until they come to the initiative, at which they balk. When we get to the recall, there is panic all along the line, and it is only the seasoned veterans or the reckless young enthusiasts that walk up with out flinching. Yet these three prin ciples are the very essence of real democracy. Without them there can be no rule of the people. Stand By Your Town. "Why should I support my own town?" is a question every one should put to himself and honestly consider. The result would be bene ficial both to *the individual and the town. Here are a ."ew of the many reasons he would be sure to find. The town is his home and a man's first duty is to his communal home as well as to his domestic home. Again local patriotism demands it. Love for and pride in one's town is the duty as it should e-er .be the joy of every citizen, and that patriotism should find constant expression in furthering its interests. His town affords him the protection of its gov ernment and laws and guards his property against fire and other losses. A man should t ade in his town. Its business men are courteous, will ing and progressive their stock of goods is large and varied, and Ir there is something one wants which they do not carry they are always ready to secure it. Unlike catalogue houses, the home :nerchants help to pay the taxes of v. town, they con* tribute to churches, improvements ?and entertainments. Without the business men the town would stag nate and property decrease in value. The schools of a town provide am ple and satisfactory education for one's children, and its churches meet and satisfy his religions needs and conserve the moral and spiritual in terests of the comitiunity. Its news papers keep him informed on local matters, enlarge his knowledge, help him in business, minister to his enjoyment and th&t of his famhy, ?and promote every wise effort put forth to help the best interests of the town. Worse than Ball Fighting. The speed auto races like that held recently in Indiadapc|ls serve no good purpose, but rather the reverse. It is notorious that many of the spec tators attended because they expect ed to see any number of accidents. In all this a morbid curiosity and a callous indifference to suffering re vealed itself. It is .a lamentable fact that betting as to the number of deaths and other accidents was freely engaged in and that many people were greatly disappointed be cause ,but one man was killed. Such exhibitions are destitute of true sport and they have a degrading in fluence both upon those who partic ipate In them and those who witness them. We are in the habit of read ing long lectures to the Spaniards. Mexicans and other Latin peoples about the cruelty and barbarity of bull fighting In which some of their people indulge. Sometimes this cruel sport among them Is attributed to their decadence as a race.^ We would like to have the judgment of these critics on the auto races and the thirst of blood manisfested by some who attended them. Does such barbarities indicate the decadence of Americans as a race? George Was Alright. lAnd now comes the story that George Washington could on occa* sions stretch his blanket, and thus .would the delvers :nto the past shat ter another fond tradition. Coming after the assertion that the old gen gleman would sometimes indulg^/ in full round oaths, and that he was a tax dodger, it will all come as a painful shock to those hero worship pers who imagined or thought they did, that Washington was superior to any human weakness. We do not believe all that is being said about the Father of hin Country, but If they are true sensible and level headed men and women will not think any less of :he great and no ble George Washington. Not that they approve of moral Infirmities, but for the reason thaf In spite of limitations, which all men to some extent possess, he was so great, so exalted and so noble, and that his service to his country and to all mankind was of so transcendent a character. George Washington was a true, unselfish patriot, his great ness will grow brighter as the years roll by. Improve Your Business. The way for the business men to boost the town is to advertise what they have to sell in the county pa pers. This will not only boost the town, but will improve the business of every merchant that tries it. A business ebbs or flows, goes up or down, in proportion as the business man Ms people know what he has to sell them. To a?t on the idea that what people want t hey will come and seek after, might d.i if all business men followed it. But the shrewd, up-to-date business man will not fol low such fussilized methods, but through judiciousv attractive and generous advertsing tells the public what he has, and the public recipro cates by trading with him. In truth, people do not want to bother them selves with wondering where they can get an article when the fact can be brought to their notice through an advertisement In the local paper. The Invariable rule is, no advertis ing, little business; fair advertising, fair business; generous advertsing, prosperous busine?s. Why that rule works out so infallibly 4s clear to every intelligent mind. Time to Sate Our Bo.vm. Judge J. F. Allen In speaking to a jury said "the tir.ie has come when the good people cf our land should take a stand, not only for temper ance, sobriety a;,d suppression of strong drinks In our community but to every appearance of evil that Is known to be harmful, not only to ourselves, but to our boys. I call your especial attention to one of the most dangerous, hurtful and growing practices known, that of cigarettes and tobacco smoking. Many of the inmates of our ^sylums can trace their loss of memory, manhood and mind to the early and constant use of tobacco and cigarettes. I hope that not only the fathers and mothers of the boys who are so unfortunate as to be addicted to this evil prac tice may be awakened to the enor mity of this great and growing evil, but that we may all be aroused to vigorous action and use every effort to suppress it, 11 possible, and save the bright boys of our land against this uncalled for, hurtful, and per nicious practice of tobacco and cig arette smoking."
