uufortunately it Is no mere
theory that the general business
And prosperity of the country
.axe disturbed during presidential
^campaigns, The fact has be
*?ow emphasised to such a de
that there is to day a wides
pread and growing sentiment in
WW of oxt^rtdttg the term of
the presidency from four to six
irears and making the president
neligible for reelection.
I am in fAVtrdf such extension.
I believe it Would be % good
thiftg fof the country m every
way. If the term were lengthen
?xl there would bfe feVter chances
by half for industrial interferon
6 is. Moreover, if the president
irere not allowed to succeed him
fefelf there vrould not be so much
bfTort expended ill obtaining a
taelectidn. That, in turn, would
inean a more profitable applica
tion of the president's attention
io the duties of , the office.?By
'feetiator Chauncey M. DePow.
Very naturally ChAuncey de
sires the extension of the Prosi
dcntiAl term and equally natur
ally fie thinks the incumbent
sLould bd ineligible for reelect
ion. It depends entirely upon
individual opinion in mnttfcrs of
this kind. With Wm. Mckinley
r8ttll alive and a candidate for
the office it would not be a ques
tion bf extension of term, for it
tooilld be extended as being the
proper thing. With Theodore
ttoosevelt alive, toe face adiffent
situation.
(r'hnee years of TGddy ought to
be a, fthrplus for anyone, and the
2*<?sult of the election may proVe
Ahe fact. Wo note how6ver, that
he is pluming himself on the
following of the McKiuley pol
icy. This is about as arrant a
piCCfc of political chicanery as
^as ever attempted to be foisted
tipon the American public. If
trfich a thing was possible, Wm.

Editor (Sumter) Freeman:
A few weeks since, an article
Appeared in yoilr columns by
Rev. P. M. Satlerwhite, upon
the subjcct of organizing a So
ciety for the prevention of Cruel
ty to animals. I found great
pleasure in reading what ho said
ind hoped it would in tluo time
oring forth good fruit, but it
jttems that his appeal has failed
to touch the hearts of the hu
tabne and coinpassionato in our
community to such an exteut as
to awaken decisive movement.
Surely in a city where there is
so much chivalry, love of justice
and Christianity, a sufficient
humber of g<. o 1 people can be
secured to form a society to see
that our faithful dumb boasts
shall get the humaue treatment
to which tney are entitled under
human and divine Jaw. They
?Cannot speak for themselves',
Providence has denied them the
Ability to protest against bad
treatment, hence they Inust sub
init in silenctt to nny indignity
that man may seo fit to heap up
ou them. I really feel that the
time is at hand when something
should bo done towards giving
these poor creatures Committed
to our care, hotter protection. 1
hope, therefore that Mr. Satt6r
white will not "weary in well
?doihg," but will make one more
effort to succeed in this beneti
fcfcnt undertaking, by calling ii
mooting, naming place, day and
date for. tho purjK)se of organiz
ing a Socloty that will bo an
honor to all who may participate,
and to tho community at largo.

THE TRULY GREAT.
Is a man great because ho is
tall physically? No. Is ho
groat oecauso ho is large men
tally? No. Is ho great bccause
he has a wounderful memory,
like Macattlay? No. What
then makes a great man? Tho
man who goes tho way God Al
mighty poitit*, ancl who is help
tag to carry dn His work is truly
frrfcat.
Does he fuVther t-h'o end that
God is seeking? Is he making
men or marring men? Is he
lifting men up, or is ho pulling
them do.wn that ho fnay himself
go higher? These aro harsh
tests, but they aro tho only ones
that ca?i truthfully bo applied to
greatness. It does away with
that standard which has to do
with moie personal aggrandize
inont, and it would revolutionize
the present standards.
