It is very clear that Dr. Wiley is
the man on top. This gives joy to the
consumer and anguish of heart to the
unscrupulous manufacturer and trad
er.
The only way to break up a trust
is to put its officers in jail for violat
ing the law by plundering the public,
but that would be too much of a trag
edy for Taft, and therefore it will not
be done.
The thing that will eventually kill
the high protective tariff is the abil
ity of its beneficiaries to pay freight
to Europe and undersell the goods
made over there by "pauper labor"
in its own home.
Those negroes who helped the
fiend, Bowen to escape, is no better
than he is, and would commit the
same crime he attempted if they ever
got a chance and felt safe in doing
so. The people of Springfield should
keep an eye on them.
? Rear Admiral Bowles says a hos-1
tile fleet could destroy New York in j
an hour. Such talk as that is cal
culated to give the people in Boston
and other cities on the New England
coast that scared feeling the Con-1
federate cruisers use to give them
during the war.
The humorous paragrapher of
The State says estimates of recent
fighting "around Tripoli place the
dead at 400, of which, after moving
pictures of the corpses had been tak
en about 388 probably quit holding
their breath and ambled campward
to supper and spaghetti."
'A grouchy old bachelor says the
old fashioned girls used to put up j
preserves about now, but the mod
ern girl hasn't got Lime for this,
as she is too busy preserving our in
stitutions by writing papers for the J
Woman's Club. That all may be true, I
but they look mighty sweet.
If the divorce suit of the wife who
is asking for separation from her
husband on the ground that he con
cealed his real character when they
married is put into'general practice,
the Charlotte Observer thinks the
divorce mill will have to order new
equipment and work night hours,
too.
No trust should be allowed to
split up into competing companies
merely by drawing chalk lines across
the floors of its office like the Su
preme Court has given the Standard
Oil and American Tobacco Company
permission to do. That kind of trust
busting is quite harmless to the
trusts.
Taft seems determined to play his
trust busting farce to the end. Ted
dy spent seven years playing the
same farce, but if he ever busted a
trust we would like to have it named.
Ii will be the same with Taft. He
has packed the Supreme Court with j
the friends of the trusts and he'
and the trusts know it will do them
no harm. Taft's trust busting farce J
is played to fool the public.
Suit has been commenced to dis- j
solve the Steel Trust, which simply j
means that it will be later turned
over to the tender care of fhe Su
preme Court, which will give it a
legal right to go on and plunder the
public, as it did in the cases of the
Standard Oil and the American To
bacco Company, which were told to
go on and plunder the public, but
don't get caught.
The News and Courier says: "The
action of certain persons in Mas
sachusetts in burning in effigy a
minister accused of crime but ur.
convicted is different from lynch
law only in so far as the perpetra
tors were unable to get hold of the
man himself." That is true, and
it goes to show that Massachusetts is
not different from other parts of the
country when it comes to matters
of that kind.
The grand lodges of negro Ma
sons and Odd Fellows should rigid
ly investigate the charge that the
negro Masons and Odd Fellows about
Springfield aided he fiend, Bowen,
to escape after attemping one of the
most distardly of crimes, and expel
them from their lodges. If the grand
lodges refuse to take action in the
matter, their State charters should
be cancelled by Governor Bi?o.se.
Mafia societies should not' he allow
ed in South Carolina by whatever
name they may be called.
The standpat Republicans, with
the aid of the trusts headed by Mor
gan and other Wall street interests,
are playing a desperate game to save
Taft. They sent him out West to
make speeches against the trusts.,
while they abuse him and say they
will not support him because of
these speeches, knowing all the time
that Taft does not mean a word he
r*? and is a subservient tool of
"'all street. It is a shrewd game to
, ???d off the Progressive Republi
? - but we do not believe it will
work.
Keeping the Record. Straight.
In an article which The Times and
Democrat published Thursday hot
from -the pen of Governor Blease it
j was stated that copies of the articles
[had been furnished The News and
Courier The State and The Record
in order that they may have "no ex
cuse in not correcting the falsehoods
which they have published and to
show to the world that the editorials
they have published in the matter are
founded upon falsehood." ,
Governor Blease then goes on to
say that he has assurances from
Senator Tillman and Major Richards
that Ira B. Jones was not brought
out for Governor by them, that
there was no conspiracy hatched a
gainst him at the home of Mr. Rich
ards; and that he believes them and
hopes "that this will put at rest the
dirty cowardly lies that are being
circulated and will show to the peo
ple of the State that Senator Till
man and myself havo no differen
ces."
One. would infer from the fact that
The News and Courier. The State and
The Record were selected by Gover
nor Blease to be the exclusive recip
ients and publishers of the article
containing the hot paragraphs above
quoted because they had originated
the sensational story of.a "frame
up" against himself by Senator Till
man and Major Richards, which re
sulted in Chief Justice Jones an
nouncing himself for Governor.
But the "falsehood " which Gov
ernor ?lease alleges was the founda
tion for the "dirty, cowardly lies
i that are being circulated," was not
(originated by The News and Cour
| ier, The State or The Record. The
question then arises if "dirty^ cow
ardly lies" have been told, as the
Governor of South Carolina alleges,
who loosed them on the public? As
we said above, it wa\ not The News
and Courier, The State, The Record
or any newspaper inimical to Gover
nor Blease.
(The story that Govjeronr Blea'se
brands as a falsehood and the found
ation for "dirty, cowardly lies," was
a clean clear cut scoop by a news
paper which was recently established
at Greenwood by ardent friends of the
Governor, and which poses as his
special champion and defender. A
newspaper established for the avow
ed purpose of loyally supporting the
Governor, and is doing it to the very
best of its ability.
This is the same newspaper to
whose Editor Senator Tillman wrotei
in denying the story he had publish
ed that Senator Tillman and Major
Richards had brought, out Chief Jus
tice Jones against Governor Blease,
that his attack on Mm was an as
sassin's blow. Sometime later Gover
nor Blease at Spartanburg in a
public statement expressed dis
satisfaction with Senator Tillman's
explanation, and intimated that he
might oppose the Ser.ator.
It is hardly fair in Governor
Blease to try to make it appear if he
so intended when he sent his article
to The News and Courier, The State
and The Record in the way he did,
that these newspapers were respon
sible for the rumors of discord be
tween himself and Senator Tillman
and the "frame-up" for Chief Jus
tice Jones when the whole story is
boastingly fathered by his own spec
ial organ.
Neither Should Be Pardoned. '
In a speech a few days ago Gover
nor Blease explained his pardon rec
ord< which The Times and Democrat
sometime ago said he would have
to do when he faced the people. His
excuse is a very poor one, and we
do not believe that it will be ac
ceptable to the public. The indis
criminate pardon oF white and black
criminals is a very serious matter,
and should not be. indulged in by j
the governor of any State. It is very
hard to convict any one of crime and
when they are convicted no gover
nor is justified iv. turning them
loose. ,
In alluding to his free use of the
pardoning power Governor Blease al
luded to several specific cases and
told of the pleas that were made to
him. He did not think that a poor
prisoner with no influence should be
made to suffer for years when a more
influential man one with influential
friends, was sentenced for a like act
to a lesser time in th? penitentiary.
Governor Blease stated that the men
he had turned out of prison with one
or two exceptions were those who
could not go to the stores of Colum
bia and buy a suic of clothes. They
were the poor ones who had not had
the influential friends to work for
them at the time of the trial.
Governor Blesse evidently be^
lieves in the old adage that a poor
excuse is better than none, or he
would never have offered the
above as an excuse for his wholesale
pardon of men, white and black who
had been convicted of crime and sent
to the penitentiary. While it is to be
regretted that m...ny men ot means
escape punishment for their crime,
that is no excuse why men of less in
fluence who are guilty of crimes
should be turned loose. Why not con
vict all men guilty of crime, and par
don neither rich or poor after being
convicted. The '.rouble is Governor
Blease has pardoned too many of
both kinds.
A Good Object Lesson.
Tha Greenwood Journal says one
of the best agricultural floats in the
fair parade in that city was that of
.Mr. J. Thornwell McLees. On his
wagon was a bale of the fleecy staple
draped in mourning, with the words,
"Mourning the Great Loss to a Na
tion from 16 cents to 8 cents." Back'
of the bale of cotton was a splendid
exhibit of corn, oats and other farm
products. On them appeared, "The
Hope of the Nation." They were
crowned with a wreath made from
peanuts. This exhibit represented a
great deal of hard work and original
thought and Mr. McLees, in speak
ing to a representative of the Journ
al stated that everything on the
wagon was raised on his place near
the ? ity. Such floats as this one
are good object lessons, and if the
farmers would study them more and
more and put them into practical op
eration, they would become in time
the richest and most prosperous class
of our citizens. Instead of "Hope of
the Nation" Mr. McLees ought to
have had on his corn, oats and djther
farm products "Hope of the South."
Then he would have hit it exactly.

ALL HOPE
Physicians Failed To Help Mrs.

Relief in Cardui.
Meetze, Va.?Mrs. J. C. Green of this
place, sc ys: "I suffered with womanly
troubles so that I could hardly sit up.
Two of the best doctors In our town
treated me, and I tried different medi
cines, until I gave up all hope of ever
getting well.
One day, I decided to try some Car
dui. It did so much for me that I
ordered some more, and It cured me!
Today, I feel as well as I ever did In
my life.
The pains and the trouble are all
gone. I feel like another person in
every war. I wish every sufferer could
know what Cardui will do for sick
women."
A few doses of Cardui at the right
time, will save many a big doctor bill,
by preventing serious sickness.
It toneB up the nervous system, and
helps make pale cheeks fresh and rosy.
Thousands of weak women have been
restored to health and happiness by
using Jardui. Suppose you try it.
It may be just the medicine you need.
