Bailey is not the only Democrat in
the United Statis Senate that should
be retired.
Happiness c'oes not consist in
?where we are >ut what we are; in
character not c jndition.,
Some people who know the right
? fail to do it. They seem to thin"!
that the mere knowledge is sufficient.
It would improve i?onie p?ople veiy
nnsch if they were as careful c."
their character as- they are of the.:
theology. . ??
It is a good thing to keep one's
. temper in co:i rol, JL?ut it is a sr..I
thing to have no temper to keep'
in control.
One may welt doubt-the religion c?
? a man who as )ires to ".mansions i.:
the skies," but is content to iet his
family live in :i hovel upon earth.
The asdtrtim that women who
have the ballet do not vote certainly
dees net apply to New South Wales
- where nine per cent more women
vote than meu.
Usually the person most glib in
making promises is the most ready to
break, them. W'ien a promise is made
after due thou ;ht one may generally
depend upon it being kept.
To escape a defeat wheh he saw
coning, Senator Bailey, of Texas, has
wisely withdra wn from the senator
ial race. The South is no longer a
srfe place for political traitors like
Bailey.
Those newsj-apers that know that
?the railroads are trying to control
our politics as they claim, should
give the facts to the public, includ
ing the namec of all parties to the
scheme.
Judge Memi ainger certainly takes
a strange poi ition in the political'
frauds in Charleston. 'By shutting
oft investigation of the charges of
fraud in regi tering votes 'he com
mits a great e Tor in our judgment
There Is a rood deal of cheap sen
timentalism tl at sheds ..tears readily
over the sorrows and trial of some
imaginary hero in*a play or novel^
but which does nothing to help those
who are bearng the actual sorrows
of life.
" How incons stent people often are.
They expect t* ieir friends to have no
imperfections yet are full of imper
fections then: selves. If. they love
; themselves wi;b all thelr( faults they
ought to lovt their friends'in like
manner.
Threatened governments, like most
threatened man, seem to live long.
Almost everj week the press dis
patches f tell i>f impending invasions
of "Portugal, ret the Portugese gov
ernment continues on the-even tenor
of its way.
Sadness fometlmes follows joy.
But it is sootaing to reflect that sad
ness also passes even as do the clouds
and that jusi as there is more sun
shine than c oud so to the average
man does Ii e bring far more Joy
than sorrow.
The shortening days turn one's
thoughts to the long indoor evenings
by the firel ;ht. Blessed is that
home in whijh such tactful wisdom
and common sense prevails that the
children preler to be at home than
to roam the streets of an evening.
That worn: n who has been granted
a monthly household allowance of
$2,112 by the Equity Court of the
District of Columbia probably does
not enjoy Hie half as much as the:
average woman whose husband's!
yearly salary does not equal the
above amount.
How true it is that "Like mother,
like child.'' The foot that forms the
cradle's mot on, the voice that sings
the baby lullaby, the heart that re
sponds to th i child's every want, the
love that te.iches the infant prayer
are forces tvhich represent a per
sonality shaping the destiny ot the
child.
If the i owspaper editors who
claim that he railroads are trying
control our politics are afraid to
give the m mes of the parties en
gaged in th s business to the public
?will tell tl" e Times and Democrat
who they a e with the facts to sub
stantiate the chrages, it will pub
lish all the facts for the benefit of
the public.
A young man has set out to find
the ideal woman for a wife. He has
pictured in iiis mind the moral, men
tal and physical excellencies (mostly
physical) h s wife must possess. |If
(he keeps true to his ideal he will gain
a vast amoi nt of experience in travel
and spend .my amount of money but
his quest v 111 be in vain. After all
what right has he to demand the
ideal if he is not ideal himself, and
that he is not his unreasonable de
sire conclusively shows.
They Must Reform.
This is a practical age and every
thing that is must give a satisfactory
reason for its existence or suffer the
consequences. In truth the age is so
iconoclastic that sentiment and an
tiquity count but little. Take cats
as an example. One might natural
ly suppose that whatever else passed
away pussy cats would continue to
li tj on / athreatened and unscathed.
That it has nine lives is in its favor.
Then, too, the cat was an object of
worship among the ancient Egyptians
and that gives it an odor of sanc
tity.
Cats also have enjoyed popularity,
especially with little children and
maiden ladies. Cats shows have
been numerous and the blue ribbon
has adorned the neck of many an
arist?cratic Maltese, Angora and Per
sian cat and even the plebian tabby.
But cats have their failings. Many a
brush, slipper, shoe and other con
venient missle has been hurled a:
them by irate Individuals who have
been robbed of their sleep by the
nocturnal serena<2-,o of amorous
Thomases. Which experience makes
one sympathize with the poet who
says:
! T-^tound the cats! all cats?alway?
j Calr o' all colors, black, white, gray;
' night a nuisance and by day?
i Confound the cats,
i
True, cats have been of some bene
I Si ir '?.-.i.'.iin.j. mice, yet this, perhaps.
hT3 pe?n offset by their destruction
I birds, including pet canaries. But
: frkc? the Kansas state board of
I li.-uIJ: ;o bring the strongest indiet
j tr ?'? : -' -inst the cat and strike its
jdr-.th knell. All I'roonsciously it
I pi ts ihem in the same.class with
? hoboes, and verily there is much in
common between pussy and Weary
Willie. Both shum work -as they
would the plague. Whoever heard
of a tram;) or a cat earning a livia??
Again, their wandering and pilfering
habits are notorious. Then, too,
neilher cats nor tramps contribute
to the finances of the community or
of-the state. The self-respecting cit
izen pays* for himself and pays for
his dog, but tramps and cats go free.
Biut the worse of all is the fact
that cats and tramps have an impla
cable hatred for water. Never has
ore been known to voluntarily take
a bath. And it is in that fact the
health of every family and commun
ity is menaced. Eight kinds of dead
ly germs have been found clinging to
the whiskers of a cat and its long
hairs fairly teem with them. How
many are found on the whiskers and
unshorn locks of the hobo no one
knows but they must be legion. Evi
dently cats and tramps must be shav
ed and washed or cease to be.
Doing a Good Work.
The Southern Railway's Road Im
provement Train" has entered/ South
Carolina and is now making exhibi
tion of ex rt road building in the
upper part of the State. Thiis train
will be at Orangeburg on Wednesday
morning, September 20, and at St.
Matthews Wednesday afternoon, Sep
tember 20. The .train is operated
by the Southern Railway working in
cooperation with the United States
office of public roads for the advance
ment of the improved highway idea
throughout the South*.
This train is thoroughly equipped
for the work it has been sent out to
do. It carries exhibits, illustrations
in the form of steropticon views,
samples of road building material
and many other features that will be
cf interest and value to those inter
ested in the improvement of |the
roads of their section. There are also
on this train government experts on
road building who de-liver lectures on
the subject at all points where the
train Is greeted by crowds interested
in its mission.
The Southern Railway, which op
erates this train over its lines with
out cost to any one except itself, is
doinrg it to aid in the building of
good roads because it wishes to see
the territory it serves grow and de
velop and produce more business.
This is a common cause. We are all
interested in the South's development
and we have come to know that the
most certain way in which to pro
mote the growth of the South is in
the extension and i~onrovement of
its highways. This is a public ser
vice for which the Southern should
be c<mm nded. '
No counties in the State need
good roads any more than the coun
ties in this section, and the people
living in them should give the Sou^h
?rn Railway's "Road Improvement
Train" a warm ?nd hearty w?ico?r?e
when it visits their section, qnd show
an interest in its vis't that will re
flect the interest they feel in the
cause of better roads. The Southern
is doing a good work in this and de
serves the encouragement of the peo
ple. We ho'le the train will bo
greeted by a large crowd when it
comes to Orangeburg on the 2Olli
instant.
Wilson Could Be Elected.
The conclusion of the Springfield
republican after a careful review of
the national political situation, is
that Woodrow Wilson could today
carry the United States by a safe
majority in the electoral college
without the aid of New York or Con
necticut. The 'Birmingham News
says this is a remarkable statement,
but it indicates clearly the drift of
sentiment toward the . .ew Jersey
governor and emphasizes the fact
that he is today the most formidable
figure in the Democratic party. That
he will grow rather than diminish is
absolutely certain. The more the
country sees of Wilson and hears
from Wilson the firmer his grip upon
the public thought and the public
conscience. He has grown In the es
timation of the people from day to
day. ever since he worsted the politi
cal ringsters of New Jersey in a bat
tle for the freedom of th people from
machine rule. He has displayed all
of the traits that command the admi
ration, the respect and the confi
dence of the people. Courage, re
sourcefulness and fidelity to princi
ple have characterized his conduct
from the first, and he has proven
himself an orator and logiian of ex
traordinary ability. For these reas
ons, the conclusion of the Spring
field paper that his nomination
"would be the most formidable the
Democrats had made since 1892," is
well founded.

In Memoriani.
Today one year ago, the death an
gel visited our home and bore
through pearly gates into the pres
ence of God the precious spirit of
our darling brother, Manny J. Blaek
mon. Dear brother, withou: thy
presence the world seems sad and
cheerless. We miss thee every
where; we miss thy loving care and
guidance; but we have the sweet
consolation that thou art home with
Jesus,?Home, Sweet Home, where
no temptation assails, and no sorrow
disturbs thy sweet repose.
Dear brother, if we are faithful,
we will soon be reunited in that
known and tears are never shed. \Ve
miss thy kind and willing hand, thy
fond and earnest care. Our home is
dark without thee?we miss thee ev
ery where.
Tho' thy dar'.ing form lies sleeping,
In the cold and silent tomb,
Thou shalt have a glorious wakL.g,
When the blessed Lord doth come.
Sister.

Mobile, Ala.?"I suffered for seven
years, with womanly trouble," writes
Mrs. Sigurd Hansen in a letter from
this city. "I felt weak and always had
a headache and was always going to
the doctor. At last I was operated on,
and felt better, but soon I had the
same trouble.
My husband asked me to try CarduL
I felt better after the first bottle, and
now, I have a good appetite and sleep
well. I feel fine, and the doctor tells
me 'I am looking bettec*thaa he ever
saw me."
If you are sick and miserable, and
suffer from any of the pains due to
womanly trouble?try Cardui.
Cardui is successful because it 18
