The thing that is now puzzling the
Georgia people is where will Tom
E. Watson break loose next.
Courtesy and obliging disposition
in business cost no money, but they
bring rich financial dividends.
Governor Blease is right in his de
mand that no whiskey be bought
from those whiskey houses which de
frauded the State by the County Dis
pensaries.
. It is Senator- Tillman's ambition
to die in harness, and we believe
that a large majority of the people of
the State are more than wflling that
this laudable ambition of the Sena
tor's should be gratified.
How such a fellow as Heyburh,
who misrepresents Idaho in the Unit
ed States Senate, has managed to
dodge the foolkiller for so long a
time is almost as great a mystery as
"who struck Billy Patterson?"
The Times and Democrat is an ad
mirer of Hoke Smith, but it can't en
dorse his resent action in holding on
to the governorship after being elect
ed to the United States Sentte. He
should give up one or the oth^r.
The Greenville Daily Piejmont
says: "Senator Simmons, (*i North
Carolina, may be a Democrat but he
votes exactly like a Republican
would vote if he represented that
State." That is the way It strikes
108.
The Bamerg Herald says that Gov
ernor Blease has never done any
thing against the railroads. What
does the Herald want the Governor
to do to th'$ railroads? What crimes
have they (ommitted that he should
swat them?
We are :;lad to see that our old
friend, Joe Hill Hall, is thinking of
running for governor of Georgia. The
thing could -hardly be pulled off in
good shape if Joe Hill did not take
a hand. He is a standing candidate
for most any office that becomes va
cant, i
Congressman Hammond, of Min
nesota, is of .the opinion that Speaker
Clark will be nominated for the pres
idency by the Democrats. He thinks
- that if the Democrats chrry tne elec
tion of 1912 It" will be by reason of
Clark's generalship, and that no ar
my ever forsook a victorious gener
al. If Clark can win he is the man
the Democrats are looking for.'
I -?
We believe it is the desire of the
people of this country, regardless of
Senator Tillman succeed himself in
the Senate next year, if all the peo
ple In the State are like the poeple of
this county, Senator Tillman would be
returned by a large majority it he did
not make a seeoh in the campaign.
He still retains the affections of the
people of this State to a large degree.
We have no confidence whatever
In at least one member of the State
Board of Education, but as he is a
small man in every way he may be
considered, we are sure that he
could not have influenced the other
members of the board. Consequent
ly we believe the board acted from
the highest motives in the adoption of
the school books.
1 Secretary of State "IcCown virtu
ally nominated State Superintendent
of Education Swearingen as the suc
cessor of Senator Tillman in the Uni
ted States Senate. There is a vast
difference in the political beliefs of
the two men. Senator Tillman be
lieves in the pecple electing every of
ficial from coroner to United States
Senator, while Swearingen believes
that the people have not sense
enough io elect their school officials
or manage their schools.
The fight on Dr. Wiley, which is
being carried on by those that he has
made toe the mark under the pure
food and drug act, will amount to
nothing as it is recogniztd that he
has done much for the health of the
country by fighting tbe violators of
the act. They want a man there
who win wink at their rascality. Dr.
Wiley is not the first man that has
incurred te ill-will of rascals because
he opposed their rascality, and he
will not be the last. He is paying the
penalty that all honest men pay
who tries to do his duty.
In his last reply to the Board of
Education Mr. Swearingen says: "I
have not questioned the integrity or
impugned the moitives of a majoritj
of the board, because positive proof
of improper influences can not be
adduced." This reads very much
like the Superintendent of Education
?thinks that there was improper In
fluence used on a majority of the
board, but as he has not positive
proof he will not question the integ
rity or impugn the motive of a ma
jority of the board. Each man on
the board should challenge this in
sinuation for himself,
Will Surprise Many.
The Augusta Herald finds much
suggestiveness in the fact that be
tween 1900 and 1910 the number of
farms in South Carolina increased by
20.325 and that of this increase con
sideraly more than half of them are
owned .by negroes. The mere state
meat of the fact that more negroes
than whites in South Carolina in the
past ten years has become owners of
farms will surprise many persons in
this State as well as out of it But
such is the fact as revealed by the
last census. ? \
The Herald comments upon the
fact that the reduction in the size of
the farms incidental upon the in
crease in their number cannot but
make for closer and more productive
cultivation. The Herald says the
same thing to a greater or less ex
tent to be observed throught the
entire South, and the phenomenon
gives great encouragement to those
who believe that the South's greatest
material development can be brought
about only when its agricultural
methods become truly intensive. i
The Charlotte Oserver, important
as this phase of the figures are, be
lieves there is even greater signifi
cance in the number of colored own
ers of farms, and says "the negro
who cultivates his own land has giv
en the surest kind of a hostage to
good citizenship. As a day laborer
or as a tenant on shares his interest
in the community's welfare is often
less strong than his natural impulse
to occasional misbehavior. Let him
acquire a few acres of his own and
not only will his conduct be circum
spect but his influence with his fel
lows will usually be found on the
side of orderlness and industry."

On the Right Line.
Congressman Lever has introduc
ed ?ill which the Farmei's Union
Sun thinks will prove of practical
benefit to the farmer. The Sun points
out that while the general govern
ment,- has spent large sums'of money
in demonstration work, the aim of
which is to teach.scientific farming,
it as been felt that, something was
lacking, and Congressman Lever's
bill is intended to fill this wide gap.
The great majority .of farmers,
whose lives are more or less iso
lated, have been unable to avail
[ themselves to the degree desirable of
I the opportunities and advantages of
fered by these scientific demonstra
tions. Some sort of practical infor
mation on subjects connected with
agriculture was therefore needed to
bridge the chasm between tne scien
tific expositor of agricultural
knowledge and the plain, everyday
farmer at his own house.
The purpose of Mr Lever's bill
says the Sun, is to do this very thing.
Without going into the body of the
bill, it will be sufficient to give only
Its title to show plainly Mr. Lever's
intent. It is entitled a bill, "To es
tablish agridultural extension de
partments in connection with 'the ag
ricultural colleges and experiment
stations in the several state receiv
ing the benefits of an act of Congress
approved March 2, 1887." The pas
sage of the bill, it is claimed, will
result in such progress along agricul
tural lines as the country has never
yet seer
Bryan's Eligibles.
Mr. Bryan in the current issue of
the Commoner prints quite a list of
Presidential ticket choices which
would be agreeable to him. It gives
prominence to ex-Governor Folk,
Governor Wilson and Sneaker Champ
Clark. But several other simple tick
ets are submitted ? Hoke Smith of
Georgia and Governor Burke of
North Dakota; Marshall of Indiana
and Dix of New York, or, If you
please, Dix and Marsha?.; Governor
Shafroth of Colorado and Governor
Foss of Massachusetts; Ollie James
of Kentucky and Louis Brandeis ot
Massachusetts; Judge Clark of North
Carolina and Senator Pomerane of
Ohio; Senator Culberson of Texas
ad Senator O'Gorman of New York.
Governor Harmon of Ohio is not
mentioned. ' James, Burke, Judge
Clark?almost anyone else, but not
Harmon. The Springfield Republi
can says Mr. Bryan seems to have
made up his list in the chief purpose
of making Harmon conspicuous by
his absence This may be true, but
no one can deny that Mr. Bryan has
given a long list of candidates to
choose from, and it would not sur
prise us if the next president is nam
ed in his list.
The South's Supremacy in Cotton.
The New York World says the
purchase of 9,000 acres of Missis
sippi cotton lands by a Holland syn
dicate in conection with the previous
acquisition of 32,000 acres by Lan
cashire milling interests, is an in
ternational trade symptom of great
interest. It indicates a recognition
by British and Continental maufac
turers of the futility of their efforts
to become independant of the Ameri
can supply by fostering cotton grow
ing in Africa and the East. King Cot
ton's throne is in the South. The
{Southern States in 1910 produced 10,
651,000 bales of cotton, as against
a product of 2,471,000 by the East
Indies and all the rest of the world.
Mississippi's crop in a normal year
exceeds in amount all the cotton
grown in India and would alone sup
ply half of British needs. The in
vestment of British and" Dutch capi
tal in Mississippi cotton lands should
further increase production and oth
erwise enrich the State.
Which is True.
In commenting on the expression
"The spread of prohibition has af
fected the trade considerably" the
Springfield Republican says: "The
spread of prohibition 'has affected
the trade considerably,' says the cur
ent annual report of the Unites brew
ers association. And then comes the
association's statistics showing sales
??f (is.000.000 barrels r" beer dur
ing the fiscal year to Ju'y 1, an in
crease of 6.2 per cent over the pre
vious year; and sales of $146,973,
000 worth of hard liquors, or a 5.6
per cent increase. In just what way
then did the spread of prohibition
'affect the trade considerably?" In
other words, which of the two state
ments is true. One certainly contra
dicts the other, and both of them can
not be true. There Is more than
enough liquor drank under prohibi
tion, but we are satisfied that the
prohibition law curtails drinking,
wherever an honest attempt Is made
to enforce It.

The Best of All Economy is the f
Economy of Securing the Best.
? It is not economy to take your child to a cheap and
inefficient teacher when an experienced and well trained
one may be secured for a slightly greater fee. If you must
have a cheap teacher, it would be better to reserve the cjieap
teacher for some later period, as the most important period *
of all is when your child is commencing the study of %
Music. ?A poor teacher has wrecked many a promising
J career., The best of all economy is the economy of securing
f the best. If you put up with cheap things at the start,
you will find that you will go through all your musical
life, seeking for bargains,?bargains that are far more
expensive than you have any means of determining. Music
tuition in the North and West is far in excess of that in
the South. In the South, it runs from six to ten dollars
per month for first class instruction.
Prof. T. L. Tinsley and Mrs. Delia Gilbert, who will
have charge of the Departments of Piano and Voice, re- ^
spectively, in Orangeburg College during the coming year,
have both studied with some of the very best American as
well as European trained teachers, and have had wide ex
perience in their profession. Students from the city and
surrounding country solicited. Students from the city taken
in the afternoons from three to five. Rates $5 per calen
