C, by registered let ter, check or money order. President Taft is an easy mark for all the political schemers in the Republican party. T.Ms time next year the political pot in South Carolina will be boiling at a rapid rate and the fur will be flying. The scandal being developed among government officials is an indication of the loose way things are being rum by the Republicans. The Lorimer investigation has dis closed some rich i revelations, and gives the putblic an idea how big business bought up the legislatures of some of the States. Out of respect to Its founder Clem son College will remain pretty much as It is during Senator Tlllman's life time. What he says about it has great weight with the people, as it should have. It is predicted in Washington that tlfe passage of the Reciprocitf hill will be followed by the passage of a measure reducing the duty on wool, and that Taft's veto of it will make political capital for the Democrats. President Taft is futher embar rassed iby the investigations regard ing the plot to retire Dr. Harvey Wr. Wiley; pure food expert, and the neg ligence of Attorney General Wicker sTiam in the prosecution of. Alaska land frauds. In the Democratic symposium on presidential preferences, printed by Grit. Woodrow Wilson lead the poll, receiving over four times as many votes as all the other candidates to gether. Champ Clark and Gov. Har xoon stood about equal. The food poisoners of this country i tan find no better way. of committing business suicide than by continuing to make war on men like Dr. Wiley. T5ut we do not believe that President 1 Taft will make such a political blun der as the removal of Wiley would be. President Taft praises the Demo crats for passing the Reciprocity Bill. That Is good as far as It ;goes, but if the President really wants to recip rocate and show his appreciation he should help the Democrats pass the bills they may introduce In Congress to reform the tariff. A Pennsylvania Dutchman speaks of Woodnow Wilson as "a native of "Dixie," beloved by the "Yankee,,' and trusted and esteemed by the cowboy of the West, a scholar, a lawyer, a professor, a colleye pres ident, an upright politician, a Demos thenes, already heralded as the "safe and sane" presidential candidate."; That fourteen and a half million bale crop .estimate seems to have been made .by some fakir connected with the Agricultural Department at Washington in the Interest of cot ton speculators. It seems to us that it is aboul time the so-called Agri cultural Department should be run for the benefit of the farmers and not against them. The fakir that made that estimate should be kicked out at once. Capt. W. E. Gonzales, Editor of The State, was painfully injured on last Saturday by his automobile run ning into some wire that careless workmen had stretched across the road near Fountain Inn in Green ville County. He was taken to the hospital at Greenville and given at tention, and will be out In a few days. We congratulate him on his fortunate escape. The accident, while bad enough, could have been a great deal worse. In describing the reunion of Con federate and Federal veterans on the battleleld of Mannassas, the Asso ciated Press says the second battle of Manassas was a drawn battle. This is a mistake. Pope, the Federal commander, was disastrously defeat ed by Lee. The Confederates cap tured 9,000 prisoners, 30,000 small arms and thirty connan. Pope and his defeated army fled to Washing ton in a demoralized condition, leav ing behind them millions of dollars worth of stores of all kinds for the Confederates. We tender our heartfelt sympathy to Col. E. H. Aull, of the Newberry Herald and News, as he sits in the deep black shadow of the greatest sorrow that will ever befall him in this life, the death of his accomplish ed and devoted wife, who passed away on last Saturday. Mrs. Aull was a most gracious and charming woman, and her death caused great sorrow to many all over South Caro Hna, who knew and loved her for her many noble qualities. She has rrne to the beautiful home above, but the influence of her pure life will continue to uplift and help all who were touched by it while she lingered with us. Where He Stands. * In the sense of seeking the nom ination for President at the hands of the Democratic party, Speaker Champ Clark is not a candidate, hut, of course, if his name i* presented to the convention, as it is bound to be toy his friends and admirers, and he receives the nomination, he will accept the honor, and do all he can to lead the Democratic hosts to vic tory. The following extract from a cirular sent out by Speaker Clark to all the Demoratic newspapers of the oountry from Washington early in July fully expl-ins his position in regard to the nomination: The truth is that I am not a candidate for President, have nev er broched the subject to any liv ing being, and have no press bu reau. Many good Democrats have been kind enough to speak of me in connection with the Presidency, for which I am grateful. It is a high compliment. The Democrats gave me the most important office that they had to tgive. Upon the performance of this House, will depend whether we win or lose in the next election. Therefore the highest duty that I oan perform is to stay right here and do anything in my power to make a record upon which we can win. I am not going to neglect that duty to go gallivanting around the coun try in pursuit of another office, and at the same time I am not going to decline a nomination that has not been tendered me. This circular, which The Times and Democrat received in common with all other Democratic newspa pers in the ountry. puts Speaker Clark on high groutod, out it is just where those who know .the Speaker expected him to stand. Of course, the circular is in no sense a private communication. While it was addressed to the Editor of The Times and Democrat, it was in fact Intended for all the people as the Speaker is anxious for all to know exactly his position in regard to the Democratic nomination for Presi dent. The Speaker is a warm per sonal friend of the Hon. William Jennings Bryan, and should he be nominated for President, he would have the enthusiastic support of the Great Commoner, as well as all other true blue Democrats. Must Live at Home. The Charleston Post, quoting from government figures, states that with in a twelve-month the neople of this state have sent out of the State for horses and mules $11,550,000;\for bacon, $13,000,000; for dairy prod ucts, $12,000,000; for flour. $20, 000,000 and for commercial food stuffs, including hay, $4,000,000. The Post correctly deems these sta tistics disheartening. But, as the Charlotte Observer points out, there Is good ground for encouragement none the less. The Observer goes on to say that "it is not at all probable that South Carolina will ever again send out (as much for these particular prod ucts. The corn-club movement, the girls' tomato clubs, the excellent pig club idea which is destined to spread from Greenville county to many oth ers are all unmistakable indications that the farmer is beginning to apply what he is learning about the advan tage of making his living on his own groud instead of raising cotton enough to purchase it from the near est store." We think the Observer's predic tion is a safe one, as our farmers are learning the important lesson that it is cheaper to live at home, and more of them are doing so now than ever before. We agree with the Observer that "there is not a single, item in the above list that a farmer in either Carolina cannot raise cheaper than he can buy, pro vided only that he use intelligence about the raising. If all the neces sary data were at hand we believe that it would ,be found that the en tire demand in both Carolinas for t!he commodities listed could ,be satis fied with home-grown products with out at all eliminating cotton from the fields." ' Suicide in This Country. The suicide rate of American cities during the year 1910 decreased to 19.7 per 100,000 against an'average of 21 for 1909 and 21.8 for 1908. The highest suicide rate was in the West, San Francisco leading the list with 176 of 42.2 per 100,000. Seat tle had seventy-two suicides of 30.4 for every 100,000 population. Port land, Oregon, showed 53 suicides or 25.6 for efery 100,000 inhabitants. I Los Angeles had ninety-nine sui cides, of 31 for every 100,000 pop ulation, while Sacremenio and Oak land showed fifteen and forty-eight respectively, or an average of 33.6 and 32 to every 100,000 inhabitants. Denver has sixty-eight suicides, or 31.9 to every 100,000 persons. Strangely enough, New York's suicide rate is comparatively low, only 523 persons killing themselves in Manhattan and the Bronx, or IS.9 for every 100,000. Glucester, Mass., and Newport, R. T., had no suicides in 1910, and most New England cities showed a low rate of self-destruction. It is gratifying to note that the rate in the South was lower than in any other section of tbe country, says the Augusta Herald, from which newspaper we copy the above. Come to think of It, why should any one in the South commit suicide. Predicts Democratic Victory. Congressman Victor Berger, the only Socialist in Congress, discussing politics with his party followers in Milwaukee, predicts the election of several Socialists to the next Con gress. These will come from Colum bus. Pittsburs-, Philadelphia and oth er Eastern cities with two from New York. He also said that the Demo crats never had a better chance to win. and will not have to do mucn to do so. He thinks that If the Democrats stand for making them selves a tall to the insurgent kite they will be defeated, but if they stand out for reciprocity and then take up the wool schedule they will win sure. The views of Mr. Berger are interesting only as showing that from an impartial stantpoint, that is neither Republican or Democrat, the Democrats have the best chance in the election next year. Power of the Farmer. In several of his recent speeches, President Taft has addressed himself directly to the farmers of the United States. Wlhat more natural? asks Grit. As Grit says the farmers of the United Stages nroduce this coun try's greatest wealth. They are in a position to make Presidents. More men are engaged in agriculture in this country than in any other in dustry. The farmers are the back bone of the nation. They profit well when crops are good and take the brunt of hard times wh:n"crop3 are pcor. They are thinkers. When the President addresses them they take notice. Some agree with him; others disagree. Politically or economical ly, the farmers of the United States cannot be driven willy-nilly as they drive their flocks. Tney think, and that is why the President of the United States singles them out to ad dress more often than he does men engaged in any other occupation. In other words, the farmers ol! the United States wield the political bal ance of power in this country. , CLASSIFIED COLUMN One-half Cent a Word Found Notices Free.
