Why should not Jim Tillman
be impeached for his unofficial
use of the title of his office?
A Tillman is never so happy
as when being "cussed" out by
everybody. These are great days
for Uncle Ben and Nephew Jim.
In about sixty days we hope
to give comparative figures as to
the amount of guano purchased
last year and this season. Cal
culations made earlier would be
about as inaccurate as the usual
cotton statistics.
A school board at Martin,
Tenn., has endeavored to limit
the number of calls a lady teacher
may receive. But so far no
school board has called in ques
tion the number of calls a male
teacher may make.
So many places have been
going up in fire the past year
that the fire insurance rate at all
places is to go up 25 per cent at
the first bounce on all merchan-.
dise stock, wooden buildings, and
specially hazardous risks.
It is tough on South Carolina
for Jim Tillman to sign his.name
"lieutenant governor" officially.
When it comes to his using that
signature unofficially it is but
little, if any short, of an act
against the peace and dignity of
the State.
The whole State will rejoice
that the President is coming to
the Charleston Exposition in
spite of all the rumors to the
contrary. While he would ordi
narily have been received with a
great ovation, he is sure of a
much more royal reception as a
result of the late Tillmanic hap
penings.
Three cheers for Micah Jenkins
for refusing to accept a sword,
the proposed presentation of
which had been made the occa
sion of- agr -insunlt to the
- --- -lieTexecutive of this nation.
Three cheers for the citizens of
Charleston for subscribing for a
sword to be presented to Micah
Jenkins by the commander whose
words of praise are to be engraved
thereon.
"The Cow Pea" is the title of
the latest publication issued by
the Experiment Farm of North
Carolina State Horticultural So
ciety at Southern Pines, N. C.
This book, neatly bound and
illustrated, in plain and concise
manner discusses the value and
uses of that important crop, the
cow pea. Every reader can get a
copy free by writing to the super
intendent of Experiment Farm,
Southern Pines, N. C.
If there is anything in an early
-start, the Fairfield Agricultural
Society ought to have a first class
fair this year. As noted else
where the premium list has al
ready been adopted and the va.ri
ous superintend(ents appointed.
Now is the time to begin the
preparation of exhibits, espec
ially in the field crop departmnt,
and the list that will be puib1lied
next week shouldl be a greaLt
stimulus to larga nu aibers to win
one or more of the l,re.eiana~
offered therein.

On our first page we print the
-- anti-trust bill as passed at the
late session of the legislature.
This bill with some mnodifications
is the samte as the Hogg tui
trust law of Texas, and was in-l
trouced by Hou. W. J. Johr so
of Fairfield. Mr. Johnson made
an actise fight for the pasage of
this bill. When it seemed highly
probable that the committee to
wh+:in it wis rvfrrcd :wiuld de
lay action on it so long that it
could not be actud on, Mr. John
son asked it to be reported with
out reconmueudatien. It was
after several days of hard fighting
that he got it before the house,
and it required c.ntinuous hard
fighting to keep it from being
sidetracked. Both this anti-trust
bill and Mr. Johnson's railroad
bill were passed.
Lieutenant Governor Tillman's
action in withdrawing the invi
tation to President Roosevelt to
deliver the sword to Micah Jen
kins is sure to create the impres
sion abroad that South Carolina
is grieved at the president on
account of his action foward this
Toilng man's uncle. While it is
unfortunate for South Carolina to
have such hard things thought of
her abroad, may his high-handed
ness convince the people at home
that they acted very unwisely it.
elevating suet a mar to so high
an office-and that it would be
nothing short of a calamity to
have this same coulonel as its chief
execuive.
We have all the while advo
cated biennial sessions of the
general assemubly on the ground
of economy and better service.
We now wish to call the atten
tion of the voters of Winnsboro
to the matter of extending the
terms of all municipal olicers
from one to two years. No man
as mayor can do his best service
in a one year term. Like every
other officer it takes him some
time to become fully acquainted
with the duties of his office. If
he is wide-awake at all, he will
plan certain improvements, which
it iequires more than a year to
effect. True he may be re-elected
at the end of one year, if his
work has been satisfactory. Bet
as long as his election is a matter
for the people to decide upon, he
is handicapped to the extent that
he feels a hesitancy in undertak
ing any work that will involve
the policy of his successor. Give
him a two year term, and the
probabilities are that he will re
flect the greater credit upon him
self and upon the town
For Railioad Commissioner.
In speaking of the candidates
for railroad commissioner, The
State says:
The office (of railroad commis
sioner seems to be a soft berth.
At any rate there are m~ore ca'ndi
dates for this office than for any
other. Among the candidates
who are so far in the race are
Mr. Henry J. Kinard of -Green
wood, who is, perhaps, the leader
of the economists of the house,
although he is not narrow in his
views; Mr. J. G. Wolling of Fair
field, whose success as a mer
chont and farmer would augur
success as a Stste offieial, is also
in the r-ace. Senator B. L. Caugh
rin of Saluda, author of the "Jim
cr-ow" car law, is a candidate.
Mr. J. C. Wilborn of York, the
present chairman, will stand for
re-election, haLving served eight
years. Mr. W. Boyd Evans is a
candidate-and there are, others.

The Objects of Prince Henry's Visit. H
ci
Concealed beneath the guise of bi
courtesy to a rapidly rising world ,
power, the visit of Prince Henry, C
of Germany, to our country, os- fr
tensibly to attend the launching tE
of a pleasure yacht, hides the C
deep, carefully thought out plans 0(
of that most astute, tboug;h
strenuous sovereign, Kaiser Wil- t,
belm, of Germany. What are tc
those plans? And how will they re
affect the international, commer- c<
cial and economic welfare of the cc
United States? Our commercial
enterprise has awakened the ap
prehension of German economists.
Markets heretofore considered -A
theirs exclusively have been; in
vadied by American products-;g
financial operations ~ fer.l it
transacted by English and Ger- A
man capitalists have within the di
past two years been piarticipated it
in and in some cases entirely h<
monopolized by American finan- ti
ciers; Amnericani manufacturers in tI
manys lines have excelled and dis- C<
tanced their German competitors fir
andl laid down in German cities ai
their finished products, of better a]
quality and workmanship, at 5(
lower prices than possible for Jy
German manufacturers. It is to
find the reason for this state of
affairs, to study the causes and
to arrange for German training
to counteract these influences i
that Prince Henry comes to these m
shores. Incidentally also it is ai
hoped that the friendly relations it
with this nation will be more ui
strongly cemented, and the tc
threatened break up of the triple gi
allilance be offset by united action T
on the part of the United States al
and Germany in whatever parts st
of the world~their trade interests T
may allow. Much news p aper'a
spacee in the yellowv journals has el
b)een wasted in an effort to create Tt
.'sn impression that Germany in- bi
tended to -violate the Monroe 8
Doctrine at the first opportune W
mom'-nt, and with the aid of t
German colonists in South e~
America and the sympathy of the la
large German population in this p1
country, establish German colo- mn
nies on this continent. It has T:
proven futile, however, and the hi
visit of the p)rince will be a most u
fit ting occasion for the declaration le
of German intentions in this re
spect, and( a settlement for all
time of such disquieting and
trad(e destroying~ rumors. th
The itinerary of Prince Henry's t
tour has been so arranged as to to
include the princip)al commercial j
centers of the East, and elaborate 1i
a rrangrements for his entertain-b
mnent 0have been made by thea
