.Chief Just ce Jones has shied his
castor into the political ring and
Governor Bf at^e had better loo k to
his laurels. ? . ?? 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

"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<? inary opportunities of
doing it. Y 8t it is (the little deeds of
kindness a: id love that every man
may do, ani the encouraging. words
that every i iaa may utter that sweet
en'life and drive-away care, despon-|
dency and ?o:tow.

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.
