C, by registered let> ter, check o 1 money order. One of ti e most important elec tions to the people of this city is their municipal election, and all should vote a it. Those pec -Jle who thiink they are Democrats a id advocate any kind of : protection i re really Republicans and should allign themselves with that party. Don't let any little minor issue in the municipal election overshadow the great importance of electing good clean i len to the several offices to be filled. * If the order of the Supreme Court is carried cut we will have twenty Standard Cils instead of one, but they will a 1 think and -act as if they were o le. The Coun ty Fair can be made one of the best hings that was ever pro jected by tl e people of this county. Why any oae should oppose it, is a mystery t > us. Champ C srk issues a ringing bat tle cry, at d the decks are being cleared for action. Every Democrat is. expected to do his duty. Tariff for revenue is the watchword and it will win. Young man, if you indulge in a game of peker occasionally, stop it at once. I: you don't atop, you will soon be a lave to one of the most degrading labits that anyone ever acquired. Every m in in. the South is in terested in he price of cotton. Good prices mea is good business in all lines and p osperity for this section. For this reason all should help the farmer for fair prices. The mar who presides over the destinies o' Orangeburg as Mayor should be one who can adequately represent h jr in all the relations of life. Pick out the candidate you think can 1 est do that and vote for him. *! President Gomez, of Cuba, doesn't mince matters with newsnx'..er edi tors that c! iticize his admlnistiation of affairs o i the island. He bundles them up an 1 ships them to lands be yond the ea. Suppose Governor Cole L. Bl iase had such power in South Caro ina, don't you believe he would senc many an editor across the border' There ar? all sorts ef reports be ing circuh ted about some of the candidates for Mayer. Don't pay any attenti' n to these reports. They are being drculated for a purpose. The gentlei ten running for this office are known to us all. Let us judge them by " rhat we know of tkem, and not b3 what their enemies may say about t iem. * The edi or of a North Carolina paper who has for a long time cham pioned thn <OMgfl ftf thru'ti "'^m**? pioned the cause of the English spar row,- now i onfasses that he has seen the error c f his way. In his estima tion now 4 .ie English sparrow is an mrtmitigate i nuisance twithout one redeeming quality. There are many who argee with out North Carolina brother. The graid eld heroes of the Lost Cause hava met once more to talk over their campaigrs. No better or braver sob iers ever marched to mar tial music than the men who liter ally carried the revolt on the bayo nets for four years. What a heritage they have bequeathed to the young men of tt e South. Let them see to it that it is kept unsullied and un tarnished. Senator Smith by very strong in timation .'f not in direct words, has charged that bureau reports on crop conditions this year have been made without proper information, or im properly mowing the actual condi tions in tle cotton fields, as a result of which the cotton planters have been don-- a great injury. On the strength >f a "preliminary report" issued by the government, the price of cotton dropped S20 a bale, as a direct re ult of the declaration by the bureau of an estimated increase of 3,000.? 00 bales "before a part of the crop vas out of the ground." The scandals that have been brought 1 3 light in the last few years in the I- ureau of Statistics of the Agricultu ral Department in connec tion witt the reports on the condi tion of tl e cotton crop indicate pret ty stroni ly that the "bureau" is a better sei vant to the speculator than it is to t le man who grows and the enterprise which consumes the cot ton. At the same time, too, it in dicates tl at, if repetition of these in cidents c in't be made impossible, it would bi better to abolish the re ports er tirely than to have these charges of gross errors continuously made, an I the condition further dis turbed thereby. Strack at the Farmer*. 'President Taft should have ap proved all the bills passed b> Con gress requiring certain schedules of the present high tariff. Above all he should have approved the Farmers' Free List Bill. Reciprocity was a Taft measure. It roused the honest apprehensions of some farmers along the northern boundary. In recom pense to them the Free-List bill was promptly introduced in the House and passed by the Democrats reduc ing taxation upon many articles that farmers buy. It was complementary to reciprocity. The two measures should go together. Mr. Taft has never spoken as sharply of the tariff on articles cov ered by the Free-List bill as he has of the "indefensible" taxes on wool and woollens. But he knows, as we all should know, that nineteen farm ers out of twenty have never been benefited by the tariff, si ace they sell their surplus crops in world-Wide competition; while every farmer is robbed by tariff-protected trusts in his capacity as a consumer. And to the farmer no less than to the con sumer of woollens was the President held by his Chicago pledge of Dec. 3, 1910: "We are bound to promote the prompt elimination of instances of injustice in the present Tar iff law." At present he seems less concerned about "prompt" elim ination of injustice than about its "scientific" elimination by a board to which stand-patters will pay no. at tention whatever. The New York Worlds says the President has made his choice. He has refused the chance offered him by Congress to lower taxation at once. He vetoed every tariff bill brought before him except the Re ciprocity bill, and Congress did not pass such bills over his veto. The House vote' on the Wood and Free List bills, which just failed to reach tne two-thirds required, deter mined that point. This Congress had little more to do except to complete the record by passing such other tar iff bills as were pending and letting them meet their certain fate. Upon the record that is now made will largely depend the result of the 1912 election?to be decided by 15,000, 000 American voters mo.n of whom are "ultimate consumers." Crook of the First Order. The House investigation of the Ag ricultural Department has not only developed a conspiracy to oust Dr. Wiley, but has brought to light some of the worst kind of duplicity on the part of some of the higher officials of that important department of the government. It has involved Presi ! dent Taft in the consph dcy to the extent that he has too readily accept ed presenations regarding Dr. Wiley that are not based on facts. It has shown that among he conspirators none has been more active in mis representing facts than Solicitor Mc Cabe. To such an extent has Solici tor McCabe perverted the truth that he now appears in the light of chief conspirator. As as illustration of McCabe's misrepresentation of facts may be cited a letter which plays an important part in the investigation. In making a report which was to be sent to the President, McCabe used the two concluding paragraphs of this letter omitting all preceding. The two paragraphs were slightly critical of Dr. Wiley, while the parts omitted were wholly commendatory. As another illustration may be cited McCabe's> substitution of terms and phrases in a report prepared by Dr. Wiley, so that the intent and pur pose of the report was entirely changed?from an unfavorable to a favorable finding. McCabe seems not to have hesitated to stoop to any thing to accomplish the undoing of Wiley. Solicitor 'McCabe, who seem to be a crook of the first order, worked entirely in the interests of those who wanted the pure food law nulified, and as this could not be done as long as an honest man like Dr. Wiley was there to see it enforced, he de termined that he would destroy him. What further testimonv may show cannot be anticipate^ out it would seem that here was sufficient evi dence already for "firing" McCabe. If Secretary Wilson shall fail to do so, he will lose much of public con fidence that he has so far enjoyed, and will leave his office undef a cloud. A Farce and a Fraud. Those rascals who undertook to have Dr. Wiley removed from the head of the Board of Food and Drug Inspection had no idea the hornet's nest they were going to stir up. Had th?y known they would have let him alone. They lost sight, of the Dem ocratic House and a possible inves tigation, and hence they have gotten into hot water waist deep. Had a Republican House been in power, Dr. Wiley would have been slaughtered, but the Democrats or dered an investigation, and Dr. Wil ey has made an entertaining witness. His testimony as to how, after the Board of Food and Drug Inspection had declared "corn syrup" an illegal label for glucose, its decision was re jected, interests the public. The board's unfavorable decision was printed and ready for circulation when the Corn Produces Company got very busy. Those three eminent food experts, Secretary of the Treas ury Cortelyou, Sectary of Com merce and Labor Straus and Secre tary of Agriculture Wilson, were somehow induced to reverse the Bu reau of Chemistry's findings and to authorize the sale of glucose under an improper label. As usual these Republican officials were on the side of the trusts and against the people. But they have been caught up with, and It would be instructive to know what argu-J ments the Corn Products people ad-j vanced to persuade the three Secre taries that they knew more about the chemical purity of a particular food stuff than the Government's chemist.

Jcrux'ilcm captured. how carefully we "Do sure Humbert 32:23 'HE dark prophecies which the Lord sent through Jeremiah the Prophet finally reached ful fillment The besieging army of the Chaldeans, after a year and a half of siege, finally, with battering r.ims. succeeded in making a breach in the wall through which an entrance was effected and the city forced to capitulate. King Zedekiah and his small army escaped toward the south In the direction of the Jordan, but were soon overfakeu by the Chaldeans. Nebuchadnezzar, in person, was some miles distant from Jerusalem, at Rlb lah, and thither Zedekiah was taken. The punishment was after the man ner of the time, illustrated on some of the victory tab lets "which still remain. The king's eyes were put cut and, a blind prisoner, ho was take n to Babylon. T h u s was fulfilled two very striking prophecies which, until fulfilled, seemed quite con tradictory. In this we get n lesson cf should study Divhie prophecy, :u:d how faithfully we should trust its every de tail if we would receive light instead of darkness. One of these prophecies respecting Zedekiah i.<! found in Ezekiel xii, 10-13. The other is found In Jeremiah xxxii, 3-5. Ezekiel declared that King Zede kiah would be taken to Babylon n cap tive, and that there be would live and I die; yet he again declared that he would never see the city, apparently a contradiction. Jeremiah predicted the downfall of Jerusalem, declaring that Zedekiah would'speak with Nebuchad nezzar mouth to mouth and see his eyes. This seemed to contradict Eze klel's statement, for if he would speak with the king mouth to mouth and see him eye to eye, how would it be pos sible that he would not see the city of Babylon? The fulfillment met all the require ments. Zedekiah saw Nebuchadnez zar and spoke to him at Riblah In Pal estine. His sight was there taken from him and he was taken a prisoner to Babylon. He lived and died in Baby lon but saw it not. Cruelties of the Past In the Bas Reliefs, representing the capture of Lachish by Sennacherib, the prisoners are represented, some pegged down to the ground to be flayed alive ?others having their eyes put out. In one of the sculptures at Khossabad, Sargon represents himself In person holding a prisoner" by a thong attached to a ring passed through his under Hp. The victim kneels before him. while with a spear he pierces bis eyes. To what shnll we give the credit of our modern progress and civilization? We cannot give the credit to any _ church, sect or party. We must honestly ac knowledge that every sect, In its turn, has display ed more or less of bitterness, big otry, superstition and persecution ?contrary even to its own stand ards. In the last analysis we must admit that the Blinding a prisoner. great influence which has moulded the civilization of our day has come to us from the words and example of "the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all to be testified in due time" (I Timothy Ii, G). The great truths which he uttered have come echoing down the centuries, speaking righteousness, peace and love, even for our enemies. Everywhere His "Won derful Words of Life" have made an impression, and here and there have effected the transformation of charac ter. We should more and more feel oui obligation to the great truths which came to us from the Bible, and less and less obligation to the sects and parties which have quarrelled and bat tled over those Words of Life. Thus, gradually, we will come to discern the truth of the Bible declaru tion that there is but one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one Cod and Fa ther of all. and one Church of the liv ing God. the Church of the First Boms, whose names are written in heaven. These, found scattered in all the denominations and outside of all. constitute the saintly few who have the promise <>f the First Resurrection, as joint-heirs with Messiah in His glorious Kingdom which will soon be established in the earth and enforce righteousness. Jesus was the great Li^ht which came Into the world, and His follow ers were to he lights or candles also. "As He was. so are we In this world"?light-bearers. The Church Is not of the world. As Jesus said. "Ye are not of the world." Vet the Church is the light of the world. Ea"h indi vidual Christian should let his light shine before men. and the Church as a whole is to be like "n city set on n hill which cannot be hid" (Matthew j v. 14-ttb.
