I J 'The board of aldermen elected in Tuesday's eh ction are good and true men. and the y will Bee to it that Or angeburg ho d/: her own among the cities of the State for push and pro gress. \ ' - 1 "To paxapl rase- Commodore Perry's memorable nessage announcing his great victor; ? on Lake Champlain to suit local political conditions, "We have met the enemy and we are theirs." As annoui ced sometime ago in The Times and Democrat would be the case Chief is ice Jones has entered the race for governor and\e is going to.give Gov >ruor Blease the race of his .life. On some )e)ple the reading of the great deeds oi distinguished charac ters has a depressing effect. Be cause it is n ot in their power to emu late those c laracters in greatness of deed they fi.il to do the little things it is in thei power to do, and which if done would prove a great blessing to many. . ? ?Some people refrain from doing good becaute they wait vainly for some extrac r ?-.t - ?... . ? .>.. ? -I .'.' ? ? ~~?* .- ' - Orangebu rg is bigger than any one man or set < f .-nen, and there must be no sulking < iver the, result of the city election. F asi dlfefrences must now be forgotte i and the march of pro gerss'must g<: on regardless of how be voted foi mayor in the recent elec tion, doing lin full share to. push the { old town tc the front. People aie aot won to a better life by abuse or coercion. Loving sympa thy and tac ;fvl interest and help are I the' forces that count. Many an.err-1 ing' husban I and wife might be re claimed an i the home transformed I if the othe r orinclpal in Che house-1 hold would c-jase from nagging and abuse and try the power of patient) love. After a I'?ni? and honorable service] on the boai d of aldermen, Abial La throp, Esq. vas retired on Tuesday. During mo ;t of his service he was I chairman (f the finance committee) as weil as mayor pro tem, and he discharged the duties of both posi-| tions with credit and profit to the city; In hh defeat for reelection the) city is the :ot er. Just as oon as it is conclusively proven that fiom an aeroplane bombs can be dro >pid that would wipe out an army : nd smash to pieces the strongest fort, a gun is invented that can easily >u . any and all aeroplanes out of com nission. It seems to he a variation c f the ancient problem of what happc- ns when an Irresistible ob ject striked another that is immova ble. The mar who gives up his city job and "goes back to the land" because 'he thinks f. will be easier work will soon be d si>'lus:oned. That to the ordinary n:ar willing to work and not too proud to be taught country life I will give iiore real satisfaction and! a greater iae'ependence than the city! affords in a majority of cases goes i without s'yir.r, but it means many a backache and weary limb. It is sometimes a good thing to fcave a healthy dissatisfaction with one's posit on and surroundings. As some one haH well said, "It is better ?to be a dissatisfied man than a sat isfied pig. ' It simply means that without such a feeling progress is impossible But with the true man there is a ways the quest for some thing higher and better in life. Had the Times and Democrat been charged witl; the rsponsibiltiy of electing a mayor for the city of Or angeburg, Alderman W. M. Sain would no thave been its choice, but as a maj(rity of his fellow-citizens have calle 1 l im to that high and hon orable offce he can count on the best effort-.-, of this newspaper to make his ac'ministration a complete success. The vo e received by Mr. Wilson for Mayoi Mayor does not in any sense indi ate the respect and esteem in which ie is held by the people of this city. The result of the election hinged oi issues that practically eliminatec till candidates for Mayor except Mtssrs. Sain and Wannamak er, aroum whom the battle raged. It was -not ? n issue of men, but an is sue of c.crsures that decided the election. Calls the Governor's Bluff. While in Charleston recently Gov ernor Blease announced that he was sure of reelection, it made no differ ence who opposed him. He made light of the reported candi dacy for Governor of Chief Justice Ira B. Jones, and said he had better sense than realign his office to run for Governor. Gov. Blease went on to say that should Chief Justice Jones resign and run against him for Gov ernor after the election Chief Jus tice would be "tne statesman with out a job." By resigning his high of fice and announcing that he would be a candidate for Governor next year Chief Justice Jones calls Governor Blease's bluff, much to that gentle man's surprise no doubt. The action of Chief Justice Jones in resigning and entering the Gov ernor's race is a general surprise. It was not considered likely that he would relinquish the highest judicial office in the State, of which he may have been sure for life, at a salary equal to that of the governor, in or der to become a candidate for gover nor, especially in the face of Gover | nor Blease's threat to make him a ' statesman without a job" if he dared to be so presumptious as to aspire to ..he governorship of the State. By his action the Chief Justice has given j Governor 'Blease notice that he is . willing to put the issue to a test with I him before the people of the State. ; The result will be known after the primary next year. It is universally considered In oplit icl circles that Chief Justice Jones at any time would make a most formi ' iuble, if not an invincible, candidate ! for any office In the Sta te. He is a ' product of the reform movement, one of uhe ablest and most aggressive leaders of the warm political fights of the early '90's, but his career on the supreme be ich has beeii highly dis tinguished for fairness and judicial integrity no less than for scholarship, learning and ability. The Chief Jus tice has always been a political and personal friend of Senator Till man and while the Senator may take no part in the campaign for Gover nor it is very likely that his moral support will be given the Chief Jus tice In the race. This Is our opinion based. on the friendship of the two men. Chief Justice Jones is a man of most Impressive personility; virile, aggressive, alert and absolutely fear less. Quick in debate, resourceful, thoroughly familiar with South Car olina affairs, he would at any time and against any opposition be a diffi cult man to handle on the stump, and sihould Governor Blease stick to his determination to offer for reelection next year the candidacy of Chief Jus tice Jones makes it certain that there will be at least one antagonist able to cope with the governor, whose stump speaking -ability is highly regarded by his friends. The race is going to be hotly contested on both sides, and Governor Blease is going to have all he can do to sustain his boast that he would be elected, if he does so at all. Taft Goes on a Trip. President Taft having given out the itinerary for his thirteen thous and mile journey, which he begins .-.nXL Friday., local reception commit tees all along the line of the trip may now remove the moth balls from frock coats, and borrow their high hats. They can also get all the satis faction posible from rehearsing speeches that will be dTowned out by the uproar of a crowd out to see a real live president. Let the welcom ing committees beware how they as sume dignities with which they are not familiar. Well do we recall how in a not distant city a distinguished guest was once received. Few of the men named to escort him to a picnic ground had ever worn a "plug hat." Blossoming out in thin unaccustomed state, they were total ly unable to gauge the lofty sweep of the high head gear. Soou the glos sv tiles were hopelessly dented by un fcrseen contact with limbs of trees and low doorways. The presidential custom of swinging around the cir cle is derided as a mere building of political fences. Yet even our re vered George Washington descend ed from his pedestal five months af ter inauguration for a longe journey out to meet the every day people. When President 'Monroe took his tour month's trip in a day of no tel egraphs and slow mails, he got all out of touch with public business. The newspapers roasted him well for neglect of his work. They might have felt better had he not o'fended ideas of Jefersonian simplicty by ascend ing the Delaware river in a boat lined with crimson velvet, propelled by oarsmen in white trousers and sleeves and crimson vests. When he got to Xcw Hampshire the governor refused to receive him, and the party found their way around alone by the guide boards. To many onlookers, the hurried and stereotyped speeches from rear J car platforms, the meaningless tasks of handshaking, the time spent in useless contemplation of freight yards and cross ties, make the journey an irrational one. But no doubt the president gets his chance to talk with those in each locality who represent the conscience and brains or turn community. At Washington he sees mostly the political class, who notor iously misrepresent the general pub lic pulse. On the road he will hear things worth listening to from men whose time is too valuable for hang ing around congressional lobbies. Prove Easy Marks. The people of this world has not changed much since Puck exclaimed, "What fools these mortals be." There were easy marks then, and there are easy marks now. To say the words, "God and myself, myself and God, God and myself," three times every noon, accompanying the same with u. violent swinging of the arms, is a sure cure for pains in the back, pro vided $24 a month aie paid for in struction?this last is absolutely ne cessary. At least thii; is what har ries In New York City say, and the j strange thing about it is that they j have had no trouble in getting weak ? minded people to believe them and ' pay the money. And yet this is the twentieth century with its boasted intelligence and civilization, and the easy marks were people of means and, i h ' ? 'osedly of culture. Apparently some people like to be victimized, i Anyway they show a credulity and I superstition which one would scarce ' lv expect to find outside the realm of paganism. Barnum, who was said to be the biggest humbug that ever I lived, use to say that a fool was born every minute, and it was the duty of ! some one to fool them or they would be disappointed.
