The State thinks that there was considerable disagreement about the reciprocity agreement The Wilmington Dispatch remarks that it looks like Maine just won't come in out of the wet. Little Joe Brown wants to be gov ernor of Georgia again. Some people never know when they have enough. As sure as the tide ebbs and flows { twice every twenty-four hours, just j as, sure is it that the man. will reap ? what he sows. The orphanages of South Carolina are a credit to the-State and the work which they are doing is the work of the Lord. Every one should help them along. The Spartanburg Journal boasts ? that S;>artanburg is the'first city of South Carolina to entertain a strike and a tie-up in its street car system. But happily it is all over now. Senator Tillman says he is hands off in the governor's race. That is all right, but we have a notion that the Senator will put in hi", ballot for the man that is not waiting for hit sen atorial toga. The pirj who is thinking of marry ing a man to reform him might do well to take in washing for u few weeks before hand so she can see how she likes it, says the Anderson Dai'y Mail. Tay the preacher and the printer. You are sure to get your money hack. The printer tells you the news about this world, and the preacher tells you about the other one to come, ob serves the Bocksville Herald. It is said that the price of radium "has taken such a tumble that you can now buy a grain ?f It for eighty thousand dollars, and the Lancaster News wants to know if you don't want to invest in a few grains. The Pee Dee Advocate sai's "Gov ernor Blease has boasted that he is going straight to the Senate when Ben Tillman gets out of the way and lillman evidently does not like the idea of a man hanging around avow edly wailing for him to die to get in to his .shoes." While the meeting to fight for higher prices for cotton should have 'been in session on Monday several farmers were selling their cotton for any old price that the .buyers saw fit to pay for It Can we hope to see the price of cotton improve under suoh conditions. The Watchman and Southron sa.ys dt is rumored in Sumter that there is a move on foot among the Lee county residents of Mechanicsville to get back into Sumter county. It is reported that a petition Is now be ing circulated and that a survey has already been run. We verily believe that if people N would be as careful of the compan ionships their children form and of the books they read as they are of the food they eat and the clothes they wear there would.be fewer heart aches and heart breaks over sons and daughters gone to the bad. The Greenville .Journal predicts that the "time is coming when news papers will carry their news in a more condensed form, hove smaller papers and charge more for advertis ing." Forty years ago we heard *he same prediction, but the newspapers have gotten larger and larger instead of smaller. It is all right for the fine intellect of these great times to theorize and speculate upon the needs of the coun try in its .relation to great corpora tions, but, says the Charlotte Observ er, the average man would like for seme one ro come along with a prac tica! dem?nstration of buying five cents noi.h of commodities for a nickel. The Lai: -aster News says the mean est man lives in Nashua, New Hamp shire, or did up to a few days ago. when ho "forthwith disappeared" upon the bitth of his twelfth baby, no':e of tlK-m twins, though the mother is only 2 7 years of age. The scamp too'.t to tall timber without leaving a; y provision whatever for his young wife and numerous prog eny, who are now a charge on the county. The Ciemson College fertilizer board has directed that suit be biought against a fertilizer company of Savannah, Ga., name not given, foi alleged i hort weights in fertiliz ers shipped to the Hampton County Fanners' union. Out of a sale of 320,000 pounds to the union of that county, it is stated that the shortage iu woght amounted to about 26,000 pounds. Farmers should buy their fertilisers at home and avoid such trouble. The Call of the Brute. Vice Admiral vou Ahlefeid, a reir ed naval officer of Germany, has writ tea an article on "Worlc. Peace", which concludes as follows: "According to natural laws only the weaker and inferior will and must go down. That this is so 'is salutary from the point ot view of the perfection of the hucnan race, and who the weaker is can be deter mined only by war, never by a court of arbitration. People who are well acquainted with the African hunting grounds assure us that game thrives best when it grows up with beasts of prey. As soon, however, as other wise man kills off the predatory ani mals for the sake of eternal peace tne high-cla.ss game also disappears. In this case, too, nature teaches that fighting ennobles while peace leads tc degeneration. Our view is, there fore, expressed in a few words: Comprehensive world courts of arbi tration are an absolute Impossibility; if they were possible they would not give us world peace, and if they gave us world peace it would be misfor tune for the perfection of the human race." ? This quotation, which we clip from The Commoner, Mr. Bryan says is published in his paper that its read ers may see to what degredations the war spirit can bring a. human be ing. The idea that war ennobles? that man would become degenerate unless kept up to battle-tension by an occasional blood-lettin;,'?this idea belongs to the past. The German ad miral is a survival of the dark ages. To be a man it is no more necessary to fight like a dog than it is to eat like a heg or bellow like a bull. There is a moral realm which Ahle feld has not explored?he is of the brute, brutish. ? - ? ? ? - About One in Twenty. Secretary McClure, of the National Wool Growers' association, returned from Washington to Idaho through Omaha and the Omaha World-Herald of August 18 reports him as saying: "The general opinion is .hat the wool industry is limited to a few indivu als, but the census shows that last year there were more than 61)0,000 individual wool growers." Well, says The Commoner, assum ming that every wool grower is a voter, that is less than one voter in twenty. Why should one man tax the other nineteen fo: 'his benefit. There is no good reason. And why do some congressmen and senators pay more attention to the one man who hr:s sheep than to the nineteen who are taxed for his benefit? Be cause the wool grower is supposed to put his pecuniary interest in sheep above everything else and to vote for the man who will protect him no matter what the man thinks or does on other subjects. The Commoner goes on to say that when the wearers of woolen goods form an association and send lobby ists to Washington to threaten legis lators the senators and members of congress may pay some attention to .he consumers. The conflict between the tax eater and the tax payer is an unequal one because the tax eater is always on guard at the national capital while the tax payer is at work trying to raise the next assessment. Developing Feebie Minds. The success of the methods em ployed in some institutions to develop the intellect of feebleminded children is most gratifying. Many children Who under the old system of neglect or brutal treatment would have lap sed Into hopeless Idiocy or violent in sanity have been converted into self supporting and useful members of so ciety. And yet the methods employ ed are so natural and simple that one wonders that they were not adopted many years ago. In the main they consist oif patience, common sense treatment, and a discernment that seeks for an opening in the feeble mind through which entrance may be made to awaken intelligence and in terest. This is done by observing what one thing attracts the patient's interest and then concentrating ev erything to the development of that one faculty which is thus revealed. If the many thousands of harmless feeble-minded children now outside cuch institutions, and whose condi tion through neglect and ignorance goes rapidly from bad to worse, could be placed within thjm and treated as- indicated above the number of mental unfortunates would be mater ially decreased and society would bo so much the gainer. . Dispense With .Mourning. "A Southern physician of recogniz ed skill and eminence urges that all >ut'vard symbols of mourning should be aboudoned," say;-; Munsey's Mag azine editorially. "For many years he has expressed his vie ws. He has won over a large number of people who see no reason why the heart should advertise its sorrow by the conspicu ous insignia of gloom. "There are or have been peoples wiser in their generation. The Romans of the days of the Republic wore blue as a sign of mourning. It is the proper thing in Asia Minor now. The Turk mourns in violet and the Persian in pale brown. Until a French Queen set the present fashion in the latter half of the fifteenth century, white was the color of grief in Europe, as it is now in China, and other Eastern Coun tries." The dispensing with black mourning would be a most sensible thing to do. It has caused the death or sickness of many who follower] the custom. If our people would follow the custom of the people of the East and use white instead of black much of the dangers of the custom would be mitigated. Why don't some one set the fashion? The Farmers and Bankers. The State says. "Readers of the reports of the meetings held in var ious South Carolina counties Tues day to elect delegates to the cotton growers convention will not fail to observe that leading bankers of the towns were present in the meetings. In some of the county meetings all the banks were represented and num bers of bankers and merchants have .been chosen as delegates to the con vention. The business ability of the South whether engaged in farming, banking or merchandising, is united on the cotton question, as it should be. There was a time in Couth Car lina when movements of farmers pro ceeded on the theory', preached by politicians who were seeking office, that bankers and "town men" were their natural enemies, but of those movements only t he office seekers ob tained benefits. The eyes of the hard working farmers cf today are open ed, and they and the business men are making common cause. Their in terests are inscperabie?practically identical."
