ESTABLISHED IN 1869. Published Three Times Each Week On Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Entered as second cl&s matter on January 9, 1909, at the post office at Orangeburg, S. C.f under the Act of Congress of March, 1879. Jas?. L. Sims, - Editor and Prop. Jas. Izlar Sims, - - Publisher. SUBSCRIPTION RATES. One year.$1.50 One year, by carrier.2.00 .

No real pitched battle will be fought by the Italians and Turks until the moving picture machines get. a gosd forcua on both armies. Contrary to the view of the big corporations, the anti-trust law was never intended as a comic supple men': to the Congressional Record. If manufacturers are to figure the amount of tariff protection the.y think, they ought to have, why not let the consumer pay what he thinks would be about right for his taxes? The acquittal of seven men tried for complicity in the Coatsville j lynching shows that the sentiment North and South does not differ much when it comes to a matter of that kind. Should Governor Blease give up the fight for reelection as governor and enters the race for Senator Tin man's toga, it will be a dear case of jumping out of the frying pan hr to the fire. There will be some long editorial sermons preached on the Honea Path lynching, but they will do no good. The very next time a fienl forgets himself he will be strung up, just like Jackson. The trusts should be made to un derstand that the business world is a highway on which everyone has a right to pass without being held up by the bandits known as the captains of industry. Governor Wilson's fellow citizens want him to exterminate the mos quitoes up in Jersey. They should remember that there are some things that even a great reformer can't do, and we fear exterminating the mos quitoes is one of them. Pr?sident Taft .seems to think that he can make Rockfellers right, hand pocket compete with his left hand pocket. That is about the on ly way the so<-called disolutions of the Standard Oil Trust would amount to anything. No trusts should be allowed to split up into bogus dividing out its panies by merely droiding out its assets among them as the Supreme Court has given the Standard Oil and the American Tobacco Company permission to do. The next event of StateMvide im portance is the State Fair, which is to be held in Columbia, beginning October 3 0, and ending November <S, and the next event of County wide importance is the County Fair. Dan't for get these two events. The cable tell us that sixty or more troop ships have sailed for Tripoli from Italy with an army to fight the Turks. Now if Italians has had the foresight to send along a batalian of organ grinders with their monkeys every Turk will take to his heels as soon as they hear the or gans. The Times and Democrat has no words of denunciation for the men who put the Honea Path fiend to death. We would rather see the law respected and enforced through the courts, but when we consider the fact that a little eleven year old child was the victim of this burly brute's lust, we are rather disposed to excuse the men who shot him to pieces. The ease with which the Portu gese authorities have dispersed the monarch;al bands that invaded the country leads to the hope that the government is firmly established. It would be a pity if it were other wise for whatever may be the pres ant crudeness and inexperience of the government a republic is more in harmony with modern ideas of popular liberty and rights than a corrupt monarchy like that of which Manuel was the head. A desire for wealth may be all right but a lust for wealth is all wrong. The desire may express it self along legitimate lines and mon- 1 oy thus acquired is honestly gained. But when men have a lust for wealth they scruple at nothing, they have no regards for the rights of others and very little for law if law stauds in their way. It is this spirit so dominating most trusts that has made them so disliked and suspected by people generally. Some of Mr. Bryan's politic*1 ?n emies have discovered another mare's nest in Mr. Bryan's statement that he hopes the Republicans will nom inate La Follette instead of Taft for president. The nomination of La Fol Ifctte by the Republicans v^ould forca the Democrats to nominate a pro gressive also, and this would insure the election of a tariff reformer re gadless of which party won. Where there is any treason in this on the part of Mr. Bryan we fail' to see. Boost Your Home Town. It is singular how so many peo ple will yell themselves hoarse root ing for the home ball team, who would not give a dollar to establish a new industry here, nor would they bother to suggest -to friends contem plating a removal that this would be a good town to live in. Tho intense partisanship manifested in any ath letic sports in behlf of the home plaj-ers indicates a large sentiment of home loyalty. It is an unselfish sentiment, excellent so far as it goes. The men on the bleachers do not get a nickel addition to their v'ages be. cause home boys win. Of course in some cases the /cheer ing ? men may have money on the game. Yet our observation, is that the better Is too worried to cheer.. It is the man who wants the home team to win from simple home loy aty that makes the noise. Why is it that this most commendable senti ment ds so abounding under such circumstances, and so lacking when there is still more vital need for its expression? Tne cities that have grown popu lous, powerful wealthy thai: have be come great centers of industrial life and crerished locations for residence have become so because some small group of men loved the soil of those localities longed to have them true io high ideals, had faith in their fu ture, had the self sacrifice to keep pulling all the tr'me or breath to spend in mere criticism. The mainspring of this action is a home patriotism differing only from that of the. crowd at the ball gf.me, in bavin?, a bigger field for its expession. We may noc all of us do big things 'for this oity. Not all of us can be presidents of boards of trade or land new industries. But if everyone of us took every possi ble occasion to say that this is a business in, a wide spreading circle mighty good place to live and do of home patriotism would be let loose the .final reach of which would be incalculable. Bright Prospects Ahead. We do no know a town in the State that has a brighter prospect snead for solid growth and healthy expansion than Orangetiurg.1 All we have to do is to pull together and boost a little, and lime will do the rest. We may have some who do nothing to help along the growth of the town. They may neither pull or push. They are pericctly will ing to take their share of the bene fits that are brought by 'he growth and prosperity of the town, but they are unwilling to do anything to help along the movement for a. bigger and a better Orangeburg. All we ask of such fonts if there is any here is that they don't pes simestic in public so far as the town is concerned. Don't say that the town is dead, that its citizens are back numbers, that the population is steadily decreasing and a hundred other evils that exist only in your own mind. If you can't say any hing good theu keep still. Don't let other people know that you haven't the enengy to move away from such a miserable hole as you claim you are living in. If you are a property owner don't tell the whole world that your property is worth just half as much now as it was last year. It is very possible they may be lieve you and some day you may want tc sell that property and you will be able to get just atjut half its worth. So you see when you talk against your home town it only hurt yourself. Your town has as good a chance as many other towns, of be coming an enteresting city. It needs is a few good "boosters," So put your shoulder to the wheel and "boost" and the result will rich ly repay you for your trouble. A Great Loss to Journalism. The death of W. E. Curtis, the distinguished newspaper corres pondent, is a loss to the literary world in general and to journalism ia particular that will not speedily he replaced. A s.reat and observ vant traveler his impressions of the lands he visited and of the noted people he met were given at first hand. He enjoyed the confidence of many men high in political life both in this country and in foreign lands, and that fact gave his literary pro ductions additional value. The charm of his style and his great command of language helped flo give an unusual popularity to his letters written from nearly every part of the globe. That historical and other inaccuracies sometimes appeared in his writings and to some extent lessened their authority was but natural considering that he wrote on almost ev>ery conceiv able thing he met in his travels and that oftentimes he was compelled to write at high pressure. But in spite of that one drawback Mr. Curtis' writings were illumining and instructive to many thousands of people who but for them would have had a very limited knowledge of other lands and the manners, customs and institutions of their peoples. Speak One Your Choice. Several prominent men are now being mentioned for the Democratic nomination for the presidency, and now is the time when people are ex pressing their preference for some one or other of the many prospect ive Democratic candidates for the highest office in tho world. This is a prerogative which every Democrat may exercise and no one has the right, legal or moral, to say him nay. This liberty of thought, speech and action is a fundamental principle of our government and national life. And in so far as any man shrinks from making known his preference out of fear of some other man he is untrue to that principle and cannot but suffer in self-respect. And any man who may use his official or oth er position to attempt the intimida tion of one who differs from him as to choice of candidate also violates that principle and is 20 true Amer ican. So let It be known which of the gentlemen being discussed as the prospective, leader of the Democracy is your choice. Which one of them, Wilson, Clark, Harmon, Under wood or others, do you think is best calculated to lead the party to vic tory next year and serve the people best when he Is elected. The rank and file of the party Should speak out on the subject so as the leaders will know what to do. , Another Triumph for Decency. Decency and humanity scores an other triumph in the refusal of the J British authorities to allow a prize fight between Johnson, the colored champion bruiser and an English pu gilist. While the proposed fight was advertised as a boxing contest the ^government was not to be hood winked. The contention of some that the fight was prohibited solely be cause of the fear that the white man would have lost loses its force when it is remembered that the elegy and churches of all denominations were chiefly instrumental in securing the decision. A prize fight is 'nothing but a brutal encounter, utterly destitute of sport revolting to humanity, and engaged in simply for the money that Js In it. With the rapidly in creasing growth of public sentiment against such affairs the time will [.soon come when it will be consid ' ered disreputable in the extreme to [ attend one. * Let us hope that day will soon come, and come to stay.

MRS, McGILL BROKE DOWN Gives the Real Facts In Regard to her Case and Tells How She Suffered. Jonesboro, Ark.?"I suffered a com plete break down In health, some time ago," writes Mrs. A. McGill, from this place. "I was very weak and could not do any work. I tried different remedies, but they did me no good. One day, I got a bottle of Cardui. It did me so much good, I was surprised, and took some more. Before I took Cardui, I had headacho and backache, and sometimes I would cry for hours. Now I am over all that, and can do all kinds of housework. I think it Is the greatest medicine on earth." In the past fifty years, thousands of ladies have written, like Mrs. McGIU, to tell of the benefit received from Cardui. Such testimony, from earnest women, surely indicates the great value of this tonic remedy, for diseases peculiar to women. Are you a sufferer? Yes? Cardui is the medicine you need.
