Scalpers have been enjoined from doing business at Jamestown. His tory repeats itself. You couldn't locate the patriotism of Wall street with a microscope. It is a pocketbook patriotism that is out of sight. An Indian in Oklahoma has brought suit for divorce because he claims his squaw kicked him out of his tepee. This sounds ctvilized. Mrs. Troiel, a foreign missionary, was robbed by her two-day husband, who fled. An argument for home missions, if one is needed. To some of the third--term shout ers another term of Roosevelt is not so important as another torm foi themselves. "Oh, the Carolina moonlight softly ights the starry sky," sings a Char otte poetess. But it's the Carolin ,noonshine that lightens the Tar ;eci's heart just the saime. Moyer denies that he spot i ter in Joliut penitenti.ary, but before thu trial is over we expect to hear the he is the man who so brutatlly a saulted one Billy Patterson. If the governor of North Carolinu makes a remark to the governor o South Carolina, it will have to h)0 of -:he d. q , as both of therm are ostei Pibly prohibitionists. Only 12 of the aliens naturtllize( in G reat Biritrin last year wVer4 Americans. This can mean ('nly onle thing, and that is that William WV Astor is losing his grip as a societa keader. In Now York, Newv Jersey, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois the loss of the colored vote by the Republican party would give all of those states to' the Democratic candidate. Any Deme erat who carries New York, New Jer sey, Illinois, Ohio and Indiana will be the next president of the United States as surely as the election il held.____________ Mrh. Debs, says the Cjommoner, wvho was never charged with violating a statute law, is believed by President Roosevelt to be an undesirable citi zen, while Mr. Paul Morton, .wh brazenly admitted that he violated the lawv, is given a fine recommenda tion by the same president. What are you doing for y'our town? If you have no confidence in the growth and improvement of the town and county in which you live, how on earth do youi expect other people to miove among youl and catuse t he country to1( develop and grow for your benefit?

If such a thing as this should happen in t,he South every negro-lovmrg newspaper in the North would be ringing all the changes on the prejudice of the white people of the South. Mark Twain is going to bld a now house of concrete and steel that cannot be burned down The school children of Cleveland are trying to pet "an elephant on their hands." They are endeavoring to raise $2,000 iu 0I der to buy a pach%deru to put in the zoo of that city. "' he man wh-> hesitates in lost." Then why hesitate? If you make up your mind to do a thing then do it Let's pull for a better town, a bigger town, and don't hesi tate. An opera singer, of Milan, Italy, who had starred this country, recent ly lost his voice, and becoming dee pondent over the fact, cut his tongue out. There are people in this coun. try, who are not very good singers, that could please their friends by do ing likewise. Abe Hummel, the famous criminal lawyer of New York, who, over two years ago, was convicted of conspir acy and subornation of perjury and sentenced to a year in the pen, and who put up one of the most aensa tional fights on record, to keep from being bentenced, was, Satutday, sent to pri-on. He, it was, who tried te play such an important role in the Thaw trial and went on the stand and swore such damaging testimony against Evelyn Thaw, fot Prosecutor Jerome. Jerome, in convicting Hum mel, considers that he has won the greatest victory in the long line of cases he has proaecutcd. There seems to be no way to dodge youc sins: they will find you out.

Young Ia dies and young mnen, you should pay mnore~ attention to the common rudi ments. Street Improvement. "We call to the attention of all other Son th Carolina comamunities the fact that Camden spent $5,306 54 fo,r street imnprove*ments last iear." - News and Courier. Camden is a townl of 2,441 inhiabi tants, arid is a winter resort town, sitos.ted in K(ershaw county, of evhich it is the county seat It is 32 miles north east of Columbia, and one mile east of Wateree river. Camden does not have any advan tages o'ver other towns in the stau:e, and what hats been done by it can be done by others. We give this as a p)ointeIr for other towns to act, on. It cain be done in Pickenis, or aniy where else, and, it matters not whier(l, whii ei er streets anid roadis are put mn goodl trim property adjacent thereto inmnediautelyI toakes a rise in pric(e--ina fact, just about dloubles0 or eveni tre bles'theu fc rmer price. Pickens hais been doinrg somne work on Manin street, but for want. of lands hias been unable to fix 0up the streets. If we miistake niot, there' is ai law allowinrg a special taox on property to be levied for road improvieent. If we ai4o right, wvould suggest that this tax be levied immediately and1 i streets and sidewalks put in good tr.im for tha summ,. Tillman on the Presidenoy. In an interview at Augusta, Sena tor Tillman is quoted as follows: "The I)emuorats will have to nomi nate Bryan next year. LIe is the only logical man. A Southern, m:an."either Culberson of Texas, Hoko Smith of Georgia or Danel of Virginia, should be his running mate. It is time for the Democratic party to stop running obsolete millionaires for Vice Presi dent, especially when they have noth iug but money to rQcommend them. The trouble with most of the North ern Demecrats is they have become ward heelers. "Joe Bailey has been spoken of in connection with the Presidency, but he is down and out, so far as politics is concerned. I do not believe the charges made against him in connee. tion with "hL Standard Oil Company are true, but they have had a certain effect with the public. Bailey got in to bad company and was found out. "Mr. Roosevelt is very anxious to be President again, but he won't get the nomination if the Republican pol iticians can prevent it. The Taft boom seems to have sprung jointly between the White House and Ohio. So far as I am able to observe, it has not gone much further, either. I might say that the Foraker boom has not made so very niuch progress. "Vice President Fairbanks should not be overlooked as a Presidential possiblity on the Republican plat form. He is a strong tnan. I do not think umuch of Hugha' boom." CITATION. STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, ( County of Pickens. By J. B. Neowbery, Probate Judge: W H EREAS, E. B. Bainsaty and T. S.
