Indigenous to all climes, this race is i one of the greatest and oldest on jearth. dating back in history to a , time when the Sphinx was a mere child, and before the river Nile emi-|< grated to Egypt. It is thought that Julian, in 4713 B. C.. was one or the first politicians to see an advantage' ; in the short ballot, inaugurating the ' 'system by beheading troublesome ri- j vals. This also took the place of an eliminating contest. Through th? ( i many cent uries, politics emerges only , iu trille hazy. The Julians. Caesars. | Poinpeys and other party leaders of < ohlen times tolerated no long can- v ceses. but met. and after a briof !c argument with swords, the strongest; political aspirant walked away tojx claim his office, dropping in to tell I v !the corner the news. All other crops * may have their seasons of short' t |measure, but the political yeild holds its own front year to year. Al- c though some portions are blighted, g io .. o.,r..i,..r,, 'ill all vacancies from poundma'slrr to president. Politicians are driven j M by six horsepower motives, the best i known being cash, personal pride and j J a consuming desire to save the conn- * try. There are several varieties, i The perennial class thrives und-*r| all adverse conditions, and discounts' other breeds of optimists. Another' varietv binds and gags hints df and fj when discovered tells how the office | , has been forced on him. There are a the specimens known as the hot ? house growth, hobbled and trotted \ foods, and. like these popular mornd 11 g diets, there is often move on the j. ;al? I th;:r in the package. y It is a great misfortune that fheiC fvamers of our constitution were unable to make that splendid document ' "fool proof" We have tried to!' I P regulate everything and everybody. We have given capital frowns that would touch the heart of a pawn-)u broker. Many of our laws are as purposeless as a cat chasing its tail, others sting like an adder, and still others build like a mason's trowel. f!ut the good old Ship of State > now in the turning-basin and tfnm'.i Carolina is in many respects the safest stain in the I'nion.

I' We are democrats by birth and proud 8 of it. and our devotion and sincere . . ' loyalty to the name has made us the prey of demagogues and a target of all classes of politicians. w e pin' up democratic majorities ; as high as the pyramids of Kgypt. ?'i an they are just about as useless. Many political parties have, in * days past and gone, crossed swords with South Carolina democracy and j none down in defeat, and many par- d iv factions have fought themselves " into silence.
