C, by registered let ter, check or money order. Champ Clark may never be presi dent, but he knows a good newspaper when he seas it Teddy seems to have gone in a hole and pulled it in after him. Many of his old time friends have deserted him. The Times and Dtmocrat received another communication the other day from Ghamp Clark. We are getting real chummy. The Democrats are getting many able men in the United States Senate. In addition to those they already have in that body, now comes Hoae Smith of Georgia, ho is the peer of any in ability, and. besides is a true blue Democrat. The Times and Democrat has not a word to say against any leading Dem ocrat whom the.people may nominate for President. When they speak their choice will be our choice, and we will do all we can to elect whoever they may select. ' The Times ad Democrat received the opinion that Woodrow Wilson is the best man for the Democrats to nominate for President, because he is from the East, and is more apt to carry New York, New Jersey and oth er Eastern States, which are essen tial to Democratic success. The Democrats of North Carolina are making it pretty hot or Senator Simmons for voting lor a duty on lumber and the Indication is that he will lose his seat for violating the National Democratic platform by so voting. The old gentleman is "ex plaining" to beat the band. As .ae Times and Democrat pre dicted would be the case when he en tered the Senate John Sharp Wil liams is fast forging to the front as the Democratic leader in that body. Williams ia a true blue Democrat and a man of great ability. He will make a safe and wise leader for the Dem ocrat!} in the senate. The letter Governor Blease wrote about the condition of the prisoners in the penitentiary to that western governor, which we pubish on the first page, will not do the State any good, and will rise up from time to time to plague us. Governor Blease should remember that it is an ill bird that befouls its own nest. Senator Bailey of Texas seems to be on the ragged edge. His vote to tax lumber, and other undemocratic things he has done, has caused the Democratic senate to repudiate him, as the people of Texas will do as soon as they get a whack at him. While posing as a Democre'., Bailey i sreally a Republican, as his votes and align ments in the Senate will prove. ! The Times and Democrat has no apoligies to make for criticising Champ Clark or any other Democrat for violating the Democratic National platform by the position they took in reference to the duty on lumber. The fact that Champ Clark, and all the Democrats in Congress who voteu for that lumber duty have reversed themselves by voting for free lum ber, is v'ndication enough for the Times and Democrat. The Augusta Herald says from 1900 to 1910 the number of farms in South Carolina owned by negroes in creased by 11,259, agalst an Increase of only 9,530 In the number owned by whites. The Herald also makes the statement that out of a total of 176,180 farms in South Carolina 96, 696, or more than one-half are now owned by negroes. We do not know where the Herald gets its figures, but if they are trfle, they are ce-* taily surprising. ? The Times and Democrat has no particular candidate for president or any other office that it would attempt to force upon the people. They are competent judge, and whoever they may select as the standard bearer of the party will be the candidate of The Times and Democrat. That is why this newspaper is friendly to all leading Democrats. We do not know who the people may select as the can didate to lead the Democratic hosts to victory, and we want to be in po sition to support him when they do name him. The Times and Democrat is in fa vor of the people selecting nil can didates from coroner to president in the primary. It is the only way to jget at a true choice of who the masses want for the different offices. If the people have rot got patriotism enough to be trusted to do this, our form of goernment is a failure. But they have patriotism enough to se lect all their candidates and do It right too. So let the people say in the primary who they want to lead the Democratic hosts to victory next year in the presidential election. Coming of the Boll Weevil. The boll weevil is on a steady march to the cotton fields of South Carolina which they will reach and devastate in the next two or three fears if calculations made by the Ag ricultural Department are correct. This being the case It behooves our farmers to get all the facts In regard to the life and habits of these pests that have been brought to light by years of experience and careful study for by taking advantage of some of them much can be done to lessen the damage to the cotton by these pestt A corresponent of Home and Farm says the leading authorities upon the boll weevil all agree that one of the most important steps in the control of this insect is the destroying of the stalks early in the fall. He says as soon as the weevils be come so numerous that practically no more cotton will .be produced, destroy the stalks so as to kill many of the insects and to cut off the food supply o th eothers. Hasten the picking of the cotton, and as soon as it is pick ed out destroy the stalks. The earli er the stalks are destroyed the few er weevils will survive to damage the crop next year. Some very valuable experiments made by the secretary of the Louisiana State Crop Pest Com mission two years ago show clearly the value of the advice given by this correspondent and our farmers would do well to remember it as well as other facts about the boll weevil. (He found that where the plants were destroyed before October 15 on ly 3 per cent, of the weevils surviv ed the winter to infest the next year's crop. Where the cotton plants were destroyed between October 15 and October 27, and about 15 per cent, of rne weevils survived the . wintei. Wixere the cotton plants were de stroyed between Novem,ber 1 and 23, about 23 per cent, of +he weevils sur vived. Where the cotton plants were destroyed between Nov. 25 and De cember 7, 28 per cent, of the weeils lived through the winter, but where the destrcution of the cotton plants was put off until the middle of De cemher or later, over 43 per cent, of the boll weevils survived the win ter and were ready to attack next year's crop. Destruction of the cotton plants, before October 15 allowed but 3 per cent, of the weevils to live until the next crop was subject to their attack. Against this small number of over wintered weevils as has been repeat edly proven the planter can make a good crop by the use of proper early maturing varieties, ard by the adop tion of the intensive cultural meth ods. By leaving the cotton plants standing until after the milldle or December the faimer invites certain destruction of the next year's crop, for when he starts the spring with 43 per cent as many weevils as he had the previous fall he cannot hope to make a crop by any means under the sun. Ihe8e figures are so convincing that it is incomprehensible that any farmer should continue to try to grow cotton where the weevils are without picking out his crop early and completely destroying the cotton plants?stalks, leaves, bolls and roots ?long before the first autumn frost. There are hundreds of other facts concerning the boll weevil that the farmers of this section should famil iarize themselves with before the ar rival of the boll weevil, in order to more intelligently meet the situation and to continue to raise cotton on a profitable basis after the boll weevil comes to this section of the cotton belt, which they are certain to do, sooner or later. Cannot be Judicially Defined. Judges make great blunders in their utterances and rulings at times. That Massachusetts Judge may imag ine that he showed a wisdom worthy of Solomon in defining what he con sidered the respective rights of hus band and dife, but probably mont peo plt think otherwise. Apparently the judge made two mistakes, one of which was in thinking that the true relation between husband and wife in domestic matters can be set forth In black and white. The other mis take consisted in putting the wife in a very inferior position in the house hold. The wife and mother in all regulated homes holds the highest place. Nothing can depose her from her high position. It requires no vivid imagination to picture the result that would follow in the average home if the judge's rules should be printed and placed in a conspicuous spot to continually remind the wife of her duties to her husband. As a matter of fact it is not by judicial definitions, however profound, that the true or Ideal family relation is to be attained. Affection, common sense, and mutual consideration are a thousand times more effective. Tn truth where these qualities exist ju dicial advice is not needed, and when they do not eist such advice but adds fuel to the fire, that has already been kindled. In all oountries, especially Protes tant countries, there has been great advancement of the condition of wo men: a thing every intelligent per son must recognize, which is that the old medieval idea that woman Is a sort of inferior subject to the whim and caprice of her lord and master no longer exists except among be nighted people and natio.is that cling to old civilizations. Certainly here in America the principle prevails, and justly so, that woman is the equal to man. and that in the home a true regard for each other and good sense will admirably adjust all re i lntions without any appeal to the law I or to outsiders. This is the only true way. Centenary of Thackeray. The centenary of the birth of Wil liam 'Makepeace Thackeray, which occurred on last Tuesday, is apt to reawaken interest In the books he wrote. He was one of the great mas ters of English fiction during the Vic torian era. In his intercourse with other people Thackeray was one of the most genial of men, tender and yet possessed of that determina tion and courage that let him ov ercome the misfortunes cf his early life. .As for his literary productions they are known and read wherever the English tongue is used. Few are the people that have not read his Vanity Fair, Pendenis, Henry Es mond, The Newcomes and The Vir ginians. And it is safe to say that nearly every reader has been fasci nated by the charm of his dlctiou, h !s genial wit and humor, and his exqui site delineation of character. But Thackeray's works had also a posi tive value in that through them he ef fectively attacked many a social sham Jnd exposed the follies and sins of aristocracy. In truth there was -.n him a good deal of the Democrat wnich accounts for much In his writ ings that makes them especially ac ceptable to American readers. On one of his visits to the United States Thackeray delivered lecture in Char leston and other Southern cities. CLASSIFIED COLUMN One-half Cent a Word Found Notices Free. For Sale^?Two cheap mules.
