Remittances should be made pay able to The Times and Democrat, Orangeburg, S. C, by registered let ter, check or money order. Courtesy 'and obliging disposition tn business cost no money, but they foring rich financial dividends. One of the worst things about dis couragement is that it often leads one to give up just as the goal ?f success Is almost is sight. 'Georgia makes no-mistake in send ing Hoke Smith to the United States Senate. ' He will be one more true blue Democrat in that body. Happiness is not to he found in. searching for it. But one can get bushels of it in doing good to other ?people, especially to those in need. The Atlanta Journal wonders if "there is a hi.man .being on earth that realy helioves Lorimer is inno cent." Hardly, since that exposure about the slush fund. That convert ed Bailey, even. The Columbia Record does not put much faith in petitions, saying that it wa-j not prepared to deny the old statement that the average man would sign a petition for anything, even his own execution. ?% The Democrats are not going to have a walk-o^er in the next presi dential election. We will need every Democratic vote to win. Therefore every Democrat should Pall in line for the man nominated. The Tampa, Fla., Times calls at tention to the fact that a man nam ed Iceberg was overcome by heat the other day in New Jersey." He was not the first iceberg that came to grief from excessive heat. The Greenville Daily Piedmont is authority for the statement that "a Spartauburg man wanted to fight a newspaper reporter .because the re porter wrote a story in which It wasj Btated that Governor Blease was seen talking to him on the day he was in Spartanburg."' The Cba* lotte Observer thinks be ing thrown te the lions in ancient Rome was ah enviable fate compared with that of the ufortunate young' man who sprained his ankle in a New Jersey swamp and was nearly mur dered by the mosqultos, ere he oould hobble to safety. Now that the Board of Directors of the Penitentiary has Tefusea vo abolish the hosiery mill in that in stitution as Gov. Blease demanded that they do, people are wondering if the Governor will carry out his threat to pardon all the operatives in said mill. After claiming that his candidacy for United States Senator before the Legislature of Georgia would create a deadlock in that body, Tom Watson Igot only seven votes when it came to a show down. Tom ought to go way back, set down, and give his tongue a much needed rest. One of the hardest blows Gov. Blease has dealt himself is the par doning of Wash Hunter, who Blease defended as a lawyer in the courts for murder before he became Gover nor. This pardon will figure ex tensively next year, if Gov. Blease is opposed for re-election. Uncle Sam hardly gets rid of one pesky little South American revolu tion before another makes its appear ance. In attempting to be school master for the mongrels south of his domain Uncle 9am has his hanab full. Gastro is about to pull off a revolution in Venezuela, and the old gentleman will have to give him a spanking. The Spartanburg Journal says "some real Democrats in *:he senate chased Simmons of North Carolina up a tree Tuesday on his vote for a tar iff on lumber in the face of the dem ocratic party's platform declaration in favor of free lumber. Simmons made a weak defence. It is high time North Carolina was having two Dem ocratic senators." The Washington correspondent of the Charlotte Observer says Senator Simmons, of North Caolina, had his Democracy sharply called in ques tion, for voting for a duty on lum ber, on the floor of the Senate dur ing a debate on Monday. If Senator Simmon's don't mind that vote will beat him fo re-election, as it is be ing used against him in the cam paign now on in North Carolina. Over in England they are discuss ing the question as to whether or not lying is on the increase. That is a question as old, at least, as the time when the psalmist hastily judged all men as liars. Whatever the outcome of the discussion it is certain that neither in the old world or the new is lying a lost art. In certain re cent trust and corporation trials and in the investigations of political scan dals, people have shown themselves past masters of the accomplishment. South Gatting There. The South is destined to become the richest and greatest section ot these United States. All she has to do Is to sit steady in the boat and ply with industry and intelligence, and this she has done for the last fifty years, nearly. As Grit says "not quite "fifty years ago she emerg ed from a devastating war which left It prostrate and helpless. Billions of dollars fh wealth had been swept out of existence and grim poverty stalked from the Gulf of Mexico to the Mason and Dixon iine. The flow* er of its manhood slept In soldier's graves on many a stricken field, and with its social and industrial struc ture shattered to the jljoiundation, the survivors of that terrific strug gle faced a future rayless of hope. From the anarchy o war's aftermath new political land economic life, a new social organisation nad to be created from corner stone to turret. It was a task begun under the spur of .biting poverty in desperate de fense of rf?ce integrity. And the triumphant accomplishment of this long painful task, unique in the his tory of the world, can be read to day In the serried ranks of statis tics that are how dribbling from the Census Bureau." This is (a splendid tribute to the recuperative power of the South, hut listen tp this tribute from the same paper to the Confederate soldier, who came home overpowered and dis couraged, after four years of devast ating war, to ruined homes and changed conditions., to make an effort to rebuild the waste places of his beloved South. We will let Grit tell how well he did it. "Brilliant las has been the South's record in war anu long a3 its list of great statesmen," says Grit, "neither compares in pro found significance, in the romance and drama of history, with the story of those patient, tireless state-build ers, working most of them Id hum ble obscurity, who have within the past forty years created a/new and greater South. Some day the story of those lean and hungry years, years of heart-breaking struggle crowned with ultimate success, may find a sympathetic and adequate chronicler." The Confederate soldier, who, as some one has said, stepped from the trenches into furrow, laid the funda tion stones for the present and fu ture prosperity of the South "Had these men failed when the war end ed to meet the changed conditions and make the best of them, the South would have been ruined forever. But the brave fellows who had achieved immortal glory as soldiers, achieved a greater glory, if that were possible as state builders. But let us see what the South is doing. As Grit says, agriculture is the basis of all prosperity, and it is upon the control, direct or indirect, of the products of field ?nd farm that national power hinges. In the last analysis, national power and agricultural resources and development are synonymous terms. And It Is upon agriculture as a found ation that the South is making its remarkable progress. Within the past 5 yeaTs the value of the farm crops of the South have more than doubled, showing a great er gain than any other section of the country. Pix million acres have been added to the cotton crop area, a gain of twenty per cent, and the increase in the production of other staple crops Is equally startling. In the value of farm crops Texas now leads all other states of the Union, its gain since the census of 1900 being 140 per cent., or more than two hundred million dollars. Georgia also has made great gains in agricultural pro duction and now ranks fourth, in stead of fourteenth, as In the Twelfth census. And every state of the New S??th tells a similar story of pros perity founded upon agricultural de velopment. As Grit says "it 1b the beginning of a new era in the na tion's life In which the balance of power both political and industrial, will drift from the rich and populous North! towards the new South." That is true, and is the great fact upon which we base the assertion made in the opening paragraph of this arti cle, i But, as Grit goes on to say, "it is not alone in agriculture that the South has made wonderful progress. The statistics of manufacturing in dustry, mining and railroad construc tion and operation shows gains in excess of those registered in any oth er part of the country. The invest ment of new capital, the building of manufacturing plants, the opening of mines, the increase in capital, sav ings, and population all show that at last the South is coming into Its her itage. With natural and diversified resources unequalled in richness in any other part of the world, re sources a mere fraction of which has as yet been utilized, the future is bright and glowing with promise for Dixie. It is a future in which the en tire nation will share. To-morrcw belongs to the South." Don't forget this, young man. and when you are tempted to go West, remember that the South is the coming, section of this great country. Stay right here. Pull off your coat and go to work, and sucsess Is sure to come. Besides, the South needs you to help her work out her glorious futu.re A Menace to Health. One of the greatest menaces to the health of this or any o'her commun it >? i* the dangerous surface'closet, and they should bo abolished as soon as possible. Those who still j use them, not only menaces the health of themselves and family, but the health of all th^ir neighbors. The j health of a community is one of its ! most valuable assets, and every mem j ber of it should do what he can to observe it and keep it ;as good as pos sible. As we come to understand more about disease and its preven tion certain preventable disease should be banished from all intelli gent communities. More interest is being taken in health conditions than formerly 'all over the country. The health author ities of Raleigh, N. C, have declared war upon the dangerous surfaee clos et with a general educative move ment among property owners as the plan of campaign. The health de partment of Wilmington has obtained statistics which prove .beyond reas onable doubt that a large majority of r.he cases of typhoid fever which have- been reported in that city this summer were caused by the golden opportunity which the surface clos ets offer the ubiquitous house-fly. All typhoid fever, we. believe, is trace able to some such cause. Oxford, which 13 not considered one of the larger cities of the old North State, is being praised by the press of that State for adopting an ordinance which will do away with the old fashioned surface closets al together. It may not be possible foi Dur entire population to secure sew er connections, but it is possible for those Who can't to abolish the sur face closets and install in Its place a sanitary closet that is fly proof. Another great menace to the health of a community is horse and cow stables. They should be thoroughly cleaned out at least once a week, and the compost scattered in the sun to kill the germs. The Charlotte Observer says "com ing generations will look black upon the present one as remarkable in many ways but its indifference to the prevalence of preventable dlser..-?-s will"serve as a reminder that it has not entirely outgrown certain medi eval inheritances. The fight for im proved sanitary arrangements must not be left entirely to the medical profession. By the necessities of the case the doctors must lead th/e fight but the laymen in the ranks will find plenty to do. In the matter under discussion the advance will be meas ured almost exclusively by the amount of interest manifested by the individual householders."
