C, by registered let ter, check or money order. iSome nev spapers says it still loves Gov. VN llson for the kind of men that call him a liar. The most i lportant work Orange burg has on b md now is the election of a mayor ind aldermen. Every man should q mlify himself so as he can help sek it the best men offer ing for these positions. The chiel st^aker at the Red shirt Reunioi in Columbia will be John Sharp Williams, whose is real ly the Democi itic Leader on the floor of the Senatt. Williams is an able man and frill draw a big crowd. Every max should aim to crowd into his life everything that will make for his own uplirt and that of his fellows. Su<h a life will meas ure large anc long in its good deeds and conseqw nt blessing to all con cerned. We cannot measure the length of our lives by he numher of years we live, but by ) -hat we put in to them. We may live to a very old age and yet between the date of birth and that of deaf- our life may be little more than a cipher. That is often the case. Wall stree. influences are said to be at work c ver in Canada trying to defeat recip -ocity. But thejy will tail over tl.ere as they did over here. The i eople have gotten their eyes opened it last, and they can no Spnger be i xxled to voto; ag'aijnst their Intereu in either country. ?The Texai Senate, which has al ways stood by Senator Bailey, re fused to in lorse his vote against reciprocity. Bailey's political race is nearly rur, as he will not be re flected. TeJ as is tired of being rep resented in * he United States Senate by a Republ can masquerading as a Democrat. We do net see how the Regular Republicans can accept Taft as their next Presldi ntial candidate without stultifying t lemse'.ves. As they op pose recip ocity, what kind of a platform co ild they ouild for Taft tc run on, w hen his greatest achieve ment was t ie passage of the reci procity bill *: ? According to a Chicago preacher, "The devil :'3 a reality. He may be a joker, but be is no joke. He is as subtle as a twentieth century poli tician and 'he biggest liar the ages have produt ed." While all this may be true, the old rascal Is very polite. He never fo ces his company on peo ple. Only ( oes where he is invited. Hines, w io is a star witness for Lorimer, ht 3 the faculty of remem bering luon things that never hap pened than any man who has yet testified in that famous case. If necessary t ? clear Lorimer, we be lieve that h 3 would cheerfully testi fy that he vas present and checked off the ani: lals when they went in thr ark. Gov. Wil on advocates the recall ?because he believes that the people can be trus ed to do the right thing without ha ring a boss over them that they can't leach bo make them do it. It is natural for the Republi cans to abi >e Wilson for advocating 6uch a me; sure because they want to keep th i people enslaved so as the trusts < an plunder them. The bigg >st corruption fund ever raised in th s country to buy an elec tion will be contributed next year by the Jrusts o the Regular Republi can party. The action of the Dem ocratic part 7 in behalf of the people has frighte ted the trusts, and they will shell (at millions of dollars to enable the Republican party to buy up the ele? tion, so as they can go on and piu - der the people. Tardama i, who has just been elected Uu: led States Senator from Mississippi, seems to be strong with the masses The Charlotte Oberver says "he 1 a man. of personal ac complishmc its, unquestioned ability, and great f >rce as a popular orator. He can eas: !y become one of the not ed member ol the Senate if he will abandon a few obvious demagogic traits and devote, his talents to a tserious c< nsideration of the high questions 'ontin,nially pressing, for disposition by that body." The way in which this nation has been waste fully using up Its natur al resource 5 is much on a par with the action of a business man who steadily mi kes inroads on his capital. Such a co irse persevered in either case mean' disaster. That the nat ional gove mment and the several states hav( at last awakened to that fact and ai 3 learning to conserve the water, coa*. timber and other valua ble assets is a good thing. While It is not poss ble to make good the evil already w ought, it is possible by wise actio t to prevent further was tage and, as in the matter of tim ber, to re )lenish to a considerable extent. Figuring on the Election. ^Although the presidential election is over a year off, newspap/.rs are al ready beginning to figure on the probable outcome of the contest. With New Mexico and Arizona ad mitted into the Union, there will be, with the additional members pro vided for dn the Reappctionment bill, five hundred and ?hlrty-one votes in the next Electoral College an increase of forty-eight. The ma jority required to elect the President next year will be two hundred and sixty-six, as compared with two hun dred and forty-two in the last elec tion Mr. Taft had an electoral vote of three hundred and twenty-one. With the same States under the Re apportionment the Republicans would gain thirty-two, and those States that voted for Mr. Bryan would gain ten. The Taft States by vote would be: California. .. 13 Connecticut.7 Delaware. 3 Idaho. 4 Illinois.29 Indianna.15 Iowa.13 , Kansas.'.10 Maine./ 6 Maryland.2 Massachusetts.18 Michigan.15 Minnesota.12 Missouri.18 Montana.4 New Hampshire.4 New Jersey.14 New York.42 North Dakota.5 Ohio. . .23 Oregon.5 1-ennsylvania.38 Rhode Island.5 South Dakota. . . 5 Utah.4 Vermont.4 West Virginia.8 Washington.7 Wisconsin.13 Wyoming. 3 Total.353 The Bryan States wou'd give the following Democratic vote: Alabama.12 Arkansas...9 Colorado.6 Florida...6 Georgia.<.14 ?Kentucky.*.13 Louisiana.10 Maryland.6 Mississippi.10 Nebraska.8 Nevada . 3 North Carolina.12 Oklahoma.10 South Carolina.9 Tennessee.12 Texas.20 Virginia.12. Total 172 In the new Electoral College New| York with six additional votes, a to tal of forty-two, will continue to hold the balance of pow;r between the leading parties dn campaigns less hopelessly one-sided than the last. With New York's vote eith |er side may easily figure out a ma-1 jority. Under the reapportionment the solid South has one hundred and fifty five votes.. To win the next Democratic candi date must have in addition to thej South one hundred and eleven votes. If he carried New York, Ohio, New I Jersey, Indianna and Missouri he) would win with one vote to spare. Illinois could be subvtited for Ohio. In place of either of these States the Democrats could elect with California, Colorado and West Virginia, or California and Nebras ka and Montana or either of the Da kotas. Counting New Mexico and Arizona Democratic, with three votes each, a successful c mhination could be named with''new York, New Jersey, Indianna, Missouri, Ne braska, West Virginia and Colorado. I (Montana with one of the Dakotas could take the place of any of the| three small States. Which of the gentleman named as the probable Democratic candi date is the most likely to success fully work the combination and land dn the White House ' The one that has the best chance of doing this, is our candidate, be he Wilson, Clark, Harmon, Marshall, Under-j wood or some other good Democrat. It looks to us as if the Democrats can win if they will push the tariff question to the front. With thej tariff as the main issue President Taft, who is sure of renomination | by the Republicans would be at a disadvantage for having vetoed the efforts of the Democrats to give the people cheaper clothing and other necessaries of life. In our judg ment the only thing the.", could de feat the Democrats would be a huge corruption fund in the hands of the Republicans. The Democrats should guard against this danger. Give Bryan Fair liay Referring! to Mr. Bryan's com ment on Congressman Underwood's position on the iron schedule, as charged by a special dispatch to The Philadelphia Inquirer, the Omaha Daily Bee, a dyed-in-the-wool stand pat Republican paper says: "the Re publicans owe Mr. Bryau a vote of thanks for this full and fair expos ure of the perfidy of his party. It should help the people in 1912 when they come to decide whether they want that party installec1 more fully in power." The News and Courier copies what the Bee says above and mak?e tlx following comment on iz: "Repub lican journals, all over the country are gloating over the Xebraskan'; persistent endeavors to discount tht work which the party to which Ik professes allegiance, is doing at Washington. They look upon Mr Bryan and not Col. Roosevelt, at their best asset and strongest ally.'' It is iperfectfy natural) for the Omaha Bee to slander Mr. Bryan but Democratic papers like the Newf ard Courier should not follow the Uee's bad example. Bryan made nc charge against Underwood. He sim ply commented on the charges madf in a reputable newspaper against Underwood ten days after they ' were made, and which Underwood I had not denied up to the time Bryan ! commented on them. As soon as i Underwood denied them, Bryan with I newspapers llWeetaoinJfhrdljucmwyfp idrew his comments. Republican pa Ipers can slander Bryan if they will, i but Democratic newspapers should at least give him fair play. Awful Effect of Alconoi. One of the greatest curses to the human race ds the excessive use of alcohol. The States Oharity Asso ciation of New York has published a tract on the "Extent, Causes and Prevention of Insanity", in which it says that "fully thirty per cent of the men and ten per cent of the wo men duly admitted to the state hos pitals are suffering from conditions due directly or indirectly to alcohol. So marked is the effect of alcohol upon the brain and the nerve tissue that it helps to bring about a num ber of mental breakdowns, in addi tltioD to the alcoholic insanities. Al cohol ds a poison." What gives the statement added importance is that the association is not a temperance society nor its publication temper ance tracts. The Association deals with scientific facts and not with theories. Therefore, what it says on the subject of the fearful effects of alcohol must be accepted as au thoritative. In the face of such in formation as that given above it is strange that men and women should persist in the excessive use of strong drink. That so many men and wo men fall a prey to alcoholism is a sad commentary on out boasted civ ilization. It is a notorious fact that more alcohol is used in civilized countries than in those classed as Bemi-civilized. One-half Cent a Word Found Notices Free.

DESTROYING GOD'S WORD Jeremiah 36?Aug. 13 'The Word of our God shall stand forever." ?Isaiah ffl;J8. i?BHE Prophet Jererulnh was shut A up in prison. The disaster upon the kingdom had, to some extent, awakened the people to a slight repentance In which the king Joined, yet It was a repentance of fear ! rather than heart repentance. The king had enmity against Jeremiah be cause the Divine message came through him. He seems to have hoped to re strain the Prophet from further proe lamation of the coming trouble through fear. However, the Lord directed the Prophet to write out ail of his prophe cies on a scroll, after the ancient style. In columns. Jeremiah dictated and Baruch served him as amanuensis. By the Lord's direction this book of Jeremiah was to be read to all the peo ple, in the temple, on the occasion of a general gather ing for worship and repentance. Since the Prophet j himself could not go, he directed Baruch, who took the scroll and read it in the hearing of the people. Its proph ecies of dire dis aster iuade a deep Impression. One of the princes of the people was present and heard the read ing and reported to others of the king's counsellors. They sent for Barm h and had him read it before them all. They also, wero deeply impressed and con cluded that it should be brought before the king. But meantime Baruch and Jeremiah were hidden, the probabili ty of the king's displeasure being great. Hearing of the manuscript, the king was anxious to have it read before him by a scribe. During the reading, as two or three columns of the manu script were road, the king cut them off with a pen knife and threw them into the fire?until the entire manuscript was heard and destroyed. By the Lord's direction Jeremiah dictated his prophecies afresh, Baruch again act ing as amanuensis; and this edition was made still more complete than the former. Amongst other things it in cluded the Divine edict that none of Jeholakim's posterity should ever sit upon the throne of David. God's Word Indestructible Thomas Paine. Voltaire and Inger soll imagined that they had made the Word of God to appear so ridiculous that it would nevermore have influence amongst men. Robert Ingersoll is quot ed as having suid, "In ten years the Bible will not be read." How little the poor man knew on the subject The frontispiece of a well known Wycliffe Bible pictures Satan and oth ers, religious and irreligious, blowing with all their might to put out a light. In proportion ns their energy and strength became exhausted, the light grew stronger and burned the more brightly. This illustrates the futility of all attempts to quench the Word of God. Although we have passed tho day when any one would attempt to destroy the Bible, we have not passed the day of oppo sition to the truth. Satan would fain have the peo ple of God wor ship the book rather than study and appreciate its contents. In con sequence, not a few are opposing Jchoiakim barns the the light that is book. now shining from the Word of God?disclosing to us the fact that mtvh that came down to us from the Dark Ages Is contrary to the Bible as well as to reason. Many of the professed teachers of the church are heartily opposed to Bible study, although their opposition Is advanced as cautiously us possible "for fear of the people." A Famine For tho Word oF God Scriptural truth Is a scarce commo dity at the present time?the world Is full of error and Sin and unrighteous ness. The Lord's disciples must so love truth aud righteousness as to hun ger and thirst for it. To such spiritual food will be granted. Truth will be dispensed to them us "meat in due season." The Scriptures from first to last give us to understand that God's Word is to shine more and more brightly down to the very end of this Gospel Age. St. Peter declares it to be "the more sure Y?'ord of prophecy, to which we do well that we take need, as to n light shining in a dark place until tho Day dawn and the Day Star arise in your hearts" (II Fetor 1, 10). The Bishop of London opposed the Tyndale translation because the prac tices of the time were not in harmony with the Scriptures. Similarly, today, there are doctrines, traditions, creeds from the Dark Ages still reverenced, and which ft better understanding of the Bible would correct and put to shame. Hence the opposition to the better understanding of God's Word. Nevertheless, the Word of God shall stand forever, and the spirit of the truth shall make free all the children of the truth.

Orangeburg, the county seat of Orangeburg County, it- situated on the Edisto River in the very heart of the rich cotton belt, about 75 miles from the coast. The 1910 census shows that Orangeburg is the fourth cotton county of South Carolina and one of the leading counties of the South. Statistics show Orangeburg county to be second in the United States in the number of individual farms and it has stood second in the number of bales of cotton produced annually. The soil, however, is suited for a variety of crops other than cotton and diversified farming is very extensively practiced in this section. Orangeburg is in the centre of the county with a pop ulation of 6,000, according to the 1910 census. This figure, however, does not include the suburbs and residents living beyond the one mile city limit, neither does it include 1,500 college students. Orangeburg is the supply centre for a population of at least 100,000, who trade here regularly because of its superior advantages. Her business men are wide-awake, active, energetic and progressive, and the Chamber of Commerce urges business enterprises and manufacturing interests to investigate our advantages when seeking loca tions.

There is now being constructed through local enterprise a railroad from Orangeburg to the Sea board, seventeen miles distant. When this is completed, the city will enjoy the advantages of the three big Southern Systems. Another connecting railroad is being projected. The city has a healthful climate, artesian water, an appropriation for a $60,000 Government building, an ap propriation for a survey of the Edisto River with a view of making it navigable.. Orangeburg owns it water works, sewerage system, Electric light plant, fire alarm system, and equipment for four efficient fire companies. Her pub lic schools arc the best and she has ten churches within her limits. The city has free mail delivery and there are nine rural routes reaching out in various directions. Or angeburg has the best hotel accomodations in the State. Business enterprises investing $5,000 or more, are ex empted from taxation for a period of five years. Millions of feet of timber are in the section around Orangeburg, awaiting the opening of the Edisto for nav igation to be marketed.
