We want at least four contestants

away. I
Earth would be a good deal more
heaven-Like if in more homes there
was more singing and less complain
ing, more cheer <and less gloom.
The man who .calls himself an ag
nostic, which in plain English means 1
an ignoramus, would possibly get
mad if anyone should agree with him.

It does not matter how many tum-'

Branchville has a lot of fine look

some Ladles, and they all know how to

There .will be no bonus votes
given away in the Times and Demo
crat contest which Is now on. The
prizes wil go to those who earn them
by honest work, and not to those who
may scoop in bonus votes. ?
Thai* will be no chance at the
wind-up of The Times and Democrat
voting contest for so'mo one to scoop
the piano by buying a. large number
of votes at a reduced price. There will
i>e no reduction of) votes, and every
OQ3 will have the same chance to win '
any of the prizes by working for
them.
; The danger to the state that lies
In the concentration of great wealth
by a few Individuals is seen in more
ways than one. It is seen not only
in the direct Influence upoa legisla-,
tion but also in the control it gives
-over the votes of thousands of men
employed in large industrial estab
lishments.
The Newberry Observer says the
"carnival of crime" is no argument
for the return of the dispensary. It
is an argument, though, for a more
honest and more rigid enforcement
of the law against the sale of li
quor." We think nearly every news
paper in the State will agree to this.
The Times and Democrat for one
does.
Branchville has thrown aside her
swaddling clothes and will soon be
wearing long pants. In the last few
years she has improved wonderfully,
both as to growth and appearance".
She has a fine location for expansion,
and she is destined to grow more rap
idly now than in the past, as the sur
rounding country is more prosperous
than ever before. . I
The business men of Branchville
are to be congratulated on the ban
quet they tendered the Edisto river
engineers Frilay night, it was hap
pily conceived and most successfully
carried out. This banquet put
Biranchville in the front rank of en
tertainers, and will do much to stim
ulate her business men and citizens
generally to greater things in the fu
ture.
The Orangcburg County fair opens
this morning, anl we hope it will
prove a success. County fairs prop
erly managed can bo made of wonder
ful benefit to all the people of the
counties in which they are held. They
help In more ways than one. While
they stimulate the people to higher
and better things in the lines of farm
ing and trado, they bring the people
together in a social way, which of it
self is valuable.
Cold weather will soon have a con
. sidera.ble portion o? the country in its
grip and, as usual, many people
through their own neglect, will be
unprepared for it. On many a farm
the premises will not be in a condi
tion to give proper shelter for ani
mals, and potatoes and other crops
will be caught by the frost. And in
the cities there will be Intense suffer
ing, much o!' which might be avoided
by due precaution and by proper liv
ing.
The Social Service Convention held
at Madison, Misconsin, recently,
threshed out some very timely sub
jects, and the effect will be apparent
in the near future. The contention
made by one speaker that while much
has been done in recent years to les
sen the labors of the farmer very
little had been done to lighten the
work of the farmer's wife was very
much to the point. Machinery has
I'een a great aid to the farmer in
'anting, cultivating and harvesting
crops but in the household work
done ;:; just at>out the way it was
ujue liiiy years ago. True, there has
been some amelioration, but it is
very slight as compared with what
the farmer, has received. i
What Hope Has the Farmer.
The federal department of justice
I has' taken to the United States Su
preme Court the effort to indict al
leged "bulls" on the -New York Cot
ton Exchange. Here is an interesting
transcript from the Associated Press
report of the hearing; it ought to be
read and analyzed by southern farm
ers, congressmen and business men
generally: "Chief Justice White
asked if the government considered
that a combination to force down the
price of a commodity would be a vio
lation of law as well as a combina
tion to put the prices up as charged
1 in the present indictment. Mr. Leh
mann said he was not. familiar enough
with the market to reply." j
1 So It seeims the department of jus
tice- has concentrated its "familiar
ity*.*- with, its study of the cotton mar
ket, solely upon a crusade to dis
courage all efforts to protect the price
jof cotton, says the Atlanta Constitu
tion. That is the flat announcement
made by It representative to the
highest tribunal in the land. Opj>or
tunitles galore offered to the govern
ment to investigate andN prosecute
cotton bear movements that meant
the loss of millions of dollars to the
producers of the southern states?
the one class of American producers
who have suffered most from market
I juggling and card-sta,cking apparent
to. a first-year law student.
I Yet these opportunities have been
Ignored, the spectacle of hundreds of
thousands of toll-grimed, mortgage
[ridden farmers considered as negli
gible, while the government gaily
makes Its debut as market censor and
"price-protector" by instituting pros
ecutions against men who were seek
ing to maintain the market./
\ An additional ugly feature of the
situation is the seeming reliable re
port that the government did rot take
one step in the premises until urged
by bear gamblers who were on the
"short side" of the market, and who
had all to gain by instigating legal
proceedings against men and who
held their contracts. No more pleas
ant is the further report that officials
of the department of justice had pre
viously been aligned in high capaci
ties with cotton exchange firms.
These phases are, however, mere
episodes, as again3t the glaring ad
mission made by the department of
justice that it considers the interests
of the producer as of so little mo
ment that it has, apparently, given
not one thought to ways aud means
to protect them. In the face of such
conditions, what hope has the cotton
farmer? With the government Itself
seemingly stacking the cards against
him, to what source can he look for
ijelief? ,
Congress should take cognizance of
thlfl.matter! The Issue is non-parti
san. What has happened to the cot
ton farmer, may happen at any time
to the wheat, the corn grower, the
producer of any staple quoted In the
country's markets. It is time to find
out .whether the department of jus
tice is holding the wales level, or
whether it is giving them a tilt away
from the man who toils. Probe"

Vicious Tastes and Examples.
When a society woman makes such
' a pet of a monkey as to provide for it
'a superbly furnished room an Ivory
j bed for It to sleep upon, silver dishes
for it to eat from and half a dozen or
more servants ..c wait upon It, it indi
cates not, simply a weak mind, and a
foolish hobby, but it is one of these
straws which shows the trend of life
among people who are possessed of
far more money than sense, and who
have no idea of their obligations to
the world. Such people 'by their man
1 ner of life are imitating the practises
of the idle ricn during the degenerate
days of ancient Rome, and which
practices were largely responsible for
her decadence. It is not to be sup
posed that the idle rich in this coun
try will exert so great an influence,
but undoubtedly they get many imi
tators and, what is perhaps of more
concern they cause a vast amount of
.'very natural discontent. If a social
Revolution ever does occur in this
country the responsibility for it will
lie mainly with the class that makes
more of monkeys and dogs than of
children, which tuins night into day,
which misuses wealth, and has no
scruples in smashing to pieces the
I decalogue.
Most Hopeful Sign.
The fact that Phila?f^ hia has
elected a reform mayor and city coun
cil is one of the most hopeful political
signs of the times. There are all
kinds of reformers. Some are re
formers for principle's sake, and oth
ers just as a matter of policy. The
first having at heart the removal of
abuses ami the enactment of legisla
tion for tho common good are sin
cere and consistent in their efforts.
They may make mistakes sometimes
but those mistakes are of the judg
ment and not of the heart. The re
formers for policy only are move!
solely by selfish considerations, and
if the end is reached the mask of re
form is thrown off speedily. Both
kinds were seeking office in Phila
delphia, but she elected the real Te
I formers to the great surprise of the
whole country. That the insincere
pose in the garb of reform is itself
eloquent testimony to the influence
of the movement to purify politics in
city, state and nation. Philadelphia
had the good sense to elect the genu
ine reformer and we congratulate her.
Decline of Great Families.
The claim of royal descent by some
Americans calls attention to the sin
gular decay of once great and power
ful royal families. No race in Eu
rope surpassed the Plantagenets in
royal position and personal achieve
ments and yet in 16.')7 the great
great grandson of Margaret Plantag
enet, daughter and heiress of George,
Duke of Clarence, was a shoe-maker
in Newport, England and as recently
as thirty years ago a lineal descen
dant of Edward III was a sexton of a
London parinsh church. Within a cen
tury after the death of Oliver Crom
well his great-great grandson, the last
male heir, was a London attorney.
While these caseo show a decline in
official and social position they do not
necessarily Bhow a decline in moral
worth or mental power. A shoemak
er, or sexton, or lawyer may in this
I respect be the peer of the most dis
tinguished of such families.

Obituary.
Smith?In loving rememberance of
Thos. L. Smith who fell asleep iu
Jesus, Nov. 3, 1910.
Twelve months ago our loving fath
er was taken from us. We will not
mourn for him as one lost, but will
think of him as only gone before to
draw us nearer each day to that home
where there is no parting.
To-day our troubled hearts are sad,
Our eyes are dim with tears,
For God has taken from us the lov
ed one
We though was ours for years.
One sad, sad long year!
Oh! how we miss him;
Friends may think tho wound ia
healed.
But thfre is none who knows the sor
row,
Deep within our hearts concealed.
When they ask ub do we miss him,
How it fills our heart with pain.
But his voice se^ms sweetly saying,
Dearest ones, we shall meet again.
Daughter.
You see them everywhere.
