( eoreia'ti Governor.
The election last week In Georgia broke t
record for many years. Governor Hck<
Smith was defeated for a second term
Joseph M. Brown receiving a majority <>
about 11,000.
We believe all editors have given their owt
belief in the reason for the wonderful chantt
of Bentlment which overwhelmingly electet
Hoke Smith two year's ago.
This editor felt that Hoke Smith's crow<
made a great mistake when they set off tui
liquor vote to Brown. Although Brown wa>
as good a temperance man as Smith, and hi
though the Brown managers protest pi
against his being aligning with the llq-io
element, yet it Is fair to presume that llii
charge stuck, as we thought It would. 1 lia
charge gave Brown a very considerable vol*
Hoke Smith's war on the railroads rea t< <
against him. His election didn't make all ID*
people rich. The railroads were compelled t<
reduce the number of their trains. This rt
duotlon knockcd train men and shopmen on
of jobs. The reduction of trains sat the trn*
eling public against the cause of the reduce*
number of trains and the consequent lncon
venlence. The laws of Georgia were so o|
pressive that some of the railroads wlthdrev
their deposits from the Georgia banks. AI
this was charged up to Hoke Smith and b
lost many votes thereby. The difference be
tween the Hoke Smith party and Thos. E
Watson, populist, one of the ablest a
well as, one of the cleanest men In Georgia
who withdrew blssupportof Smith and asbei
his friends not to vote for Smith was an lm
portabt factor in the election.
Upon the whole, the change of sentiment 1
one of the most remarkable which we hav
any knowlodge. Smith's mlBtakeb, and hi
enemies, elected Brown. Brown made ni
campaign speeches. Smith made many.
The Bond Klecllon.
The city election on the issue of 825 000 o
city bonds for the purchase vof the electrli
plant came off last Wednesday. Very llttli
Interest was manifested. The vote stood 10
for the Issue, and one against It. Tbe bondi
are to be 40-year, 5 per cent, coupons.
This eleotlon was held on tbe day befori
the election for Governor In Georgia. Quit<
a number of Georgians were here laying li
something for tbe election In Georgia, bu
owing to the fact of our election on the bone
question, tbe dispensary was closed, ant
Georgfa was dry indeed on election day. W<
saw none of the Georgians, but we heard an
other say that if the dispensary bad beer
opened the profits on liquor that day would
have been a thousand dollars. Tbe profit!
on the sale of liquor woold Beem to indicate
an alarming condition of tbe country. If tbe
profits demoralize one set and develop liquor
drinkers of another set, what Is to be
come of ns ? Tbe profits from tbe sale of ll<
quor this year at our dispensary it is thought
will amount to more tban SCO,000, about one
half being made frcm Georgians and people
living in ibis Slate ami far beyond our coun
ty lines. But whether the people of the
town, tbe county and the schools are demor
allzed or not, and whether liquor drinkert
are aeveiopea or noi, toe ibcib certainly inaicale
that somebody is spending an enormous
amount of money for liquor.
Mr. and Mrs. N. G. Osteen of the Sumtei
Watchman and Soutbron, on tbelr way tc
the Confederate re-unlon at Birmingham,
Ala., stopped over In Abbeville, with their
kinsfolk, Mr. and Mrs. W. T. McDonald od
Saturday evening and remained In town un
til Monday morning, when they were Joined
by Mrs. Voss and resumed their Journey
westward. Mr. and Mrs. Osteen ro to Birmingham,
as we guess, more to visit a son In
tbat city than to atteDd the soldiers're-union
These good people are looking well, and appearances
Indicate tbat tbey have many
yearB yet in store for them. Sons and daughters
have married, and are keeping bouse on
tbelr own account, leaving tbe old folk w tb
only one young daughter in tbe household.
Tbe old folk are lovers still, and love tbelr
children, too. They bave had a long and
bappy life, and during all the time tbey bave
bad a busy life, too?she at home?he at tbe
printing office.
Mr. Osteen talked int' restlngly of typesetting
machines and the linotype caBtlng
machines. He tried the type-setting machines
tor a time, and then bought a linotype.
He hasn't thrown away his type-setting machine.
butbe has set it aside, and the linotype
is bow operated every day. He spent five
week! Id the shops of the manufacturers,
learning to operate it. We suggested to him
to write on that subjrct at the next meeting
of the Press Association atGaffney.
We baveknown Mr. and Mrs. Osteen ever
since the war, and there are none more deserving
of respect and goodwill lrom all mankind.
They have foogbt a good fight, a- d
they deserve & crown in the end. They worshipped
with the Presbyterians Sunday
morning and with the Methodists Sunday
evening. (
The New Postoffice.
As everyboby knows, the Government has
appropriated S50.000 for a post office in Abbe
ville. And everybody 1b talking of the
right place to put It. Instead of destroying
good property to make an opening for It, let
us do away with old or undesirable property
In orcer to get a good lot. What Is the matter
with the property opposite to Calvert <Jf
>'lckles store? Is there any better place for
It than the Miller hotel?
850,000 bouse would be quite an Improvement
on the shops opposite to Calvert &
Nickles, and a ?5U,COO house on the Miller lot
would add to the beabty of that section.
The post cfflce building would be acceptable
to all.

Inconvenient Schedule.
The following resolutions by theCommer'Mal
Club speak mildly theisentlments of the
people of this city. Our people, as a rule, are
slow to find fault, and this new spaper hopes
tbat the Ra lroad authorities may take
notice of our complaint and rectify the
wrong to which this people are subjected.
Here Is wbat thb Club says:
Abbeville. S. C., June Sih, 1908.
Whereas:
TbeSchedules of the trains entering and
leaving Abbeville, S. C., on tne Southern
Railway are extremely unsatisfactory to tbe
citizens of this community and to tbe traveling
public, and whereas tbe Southern Railway
Offlolals have shown in the past their
desire to meet our wishes in this particular.
Beit resolved: 1st. That tbe Commercial
Club of Abbeville respectfully calls to tbe attention
of the Trainmaster and Superintendent
of this division of tbe Southern Railway
the fact that ihe present schedules entail a
delay of forty five minutes In tbe morning
and an bour and thirty minutes In the after,
noon at Hodges, on the part of persons leaving
Abbeville and going east and those coming
west, to Abbeville.
i 2nd. We ask that this delay be obviated by
a change In tbe schedule if possible. If not
possible we ask that an extra train be run
on tbe Abbeville Branch in the afternoon so
as to reach both trains.

ANGELS' VISITS.
Guests Gdch at ibe Age or an Old
Bachelor.
An old bachelor's life Is not cheerless at all
times. Some times rays of sunshine cross
his path, and light up his life and point
his soul to eternal'bliss.
One day last week two little girls and three
Utile boys, came like angels with tbe brlgbiest
nnd the beat of light In their eyes, wbile
innocence, sweetness and goodness filled
their hearts to overflowing. For a time this
old bachelor felt tbat he was a child again
and was ready to romp and play In childish
sport. Feeling tbat they felt that be was one
ol them, be asked them to tell him bow old
they thought blm tobe. One sweet little girl
promptly answered, "86", another said that 82
csnfe nearer being the correct figure. A lit
tie boy said "76". Then another said "80"
And still another said about 77 or 78. Their
guesses put that old bachelor down out ol
their ranks. As pretty and as sweet a little
girl as ever dispensed sunshine from tbe
windows of tbe sou), recommended a lady
that she thought would Jexactly suit a man
like tbls editor. She named ait good a woman
as ever lighted tbe path or cheered tbe
soul of man In peace or raised bis hair In
stormy weather. They said, she Is younger

JJeceiver 01 tne i-aDonng ivic
House of Representatives.
Mr. Aiken said: r<
Mr. Speaker: Tliore has been bo much mis- n
representation of the effects of revising the hi
tariff, at ditlerent times, that it is hard to T
winuow the real truth. While the tariff Is a
today too high, Its greatest evil lies not In ei
the fact thai u is excessive, but that It make* u
unjust und unreasonable discriminations. a
It may as well be slated at the outset thai ?
free trade is not and has never been tht i
policy of the Democrailc party. Indirect 4
taxation Ik recognized by all as being tin c
most suitable method of raising revenue; and a
tbe extravagant policy ol the Republican t
party has made a pretty stiff tariff necessary u
even for raising revenue. Tuat this is thi
paramount issue to day there can be nc t
doubt. p
Tbe Republican party has been so merciless t
In its oppressions, through this in6trumen-|f
lailty, thai It has at last stirred up formida- |c
... 1~"1 ? Ho iia'n ruhku* nud the dav I t

has come when outraged Republicans, an well
br Democrats, demand a measure of rtltel.
Undoubtedly, tbosa who have deceived the
lnnoceat voter heretofore, by shifting the Issue
to alleged evil consequences of Democratic
administration, must Had a more substantial
and plausible reason for rot revising
tbe tarltf. It u true that the effort Is again
being made to postpone the real Is'sue. but
this is mainly by those whose confidence In
i the gullibility of the people has grown Into
, a mania.
J list prior to tbe Congressional elections It
1 >900 the distinguished Republican 'leader 1l
the House, on being Importuned by some ot
, bls.bretbren from Massachusetts to give some
little crumb of hope for tariff revision with
which to soothe their clamoring constituents,
said;
"Congress 1b not prepared to revise the tarlfl
schedules In that calm Judicious frame oi
mind so necessary to tbe proper preparation
of tfee tariff act at a time so near tbe coming
' Congressional elections."
I But tbe Congressional t lections have passed
and on the hope held out tbat there would I
1 be revision after the elections a very muob | 1
reduced Republican majority was returned ?
, to power. Of course those who know the i
real disposition of this party to dare the ven- i
1 geance of the people to the limit In the in- 1
I terest of the trusts did not expect revision, i
And for those Republicans knowing this, <
who for no belter reason than party loyalty i
' have been hopelessly banging on, this must i
, indeed be bitter. But what do?s this same i
i distinguished leader say at this time? He i
says nothing can be done now, because we i
are "at tbe heels ol a flbanolsl panic and on t
the eve of a Presidential election", Away
with rlgh'; it 1? the party that must prevail. 1
' He dare notop'niy dispute the necessltj: but I
\X7 ?!t ho o*. 11
like tbe bopeiesH BiDiier ui AAuijr ???
o)alms:"Go thy way for this time: when I I
have found a more convenient season" and t
so forth. ]
Well does he know that there are sufficient i
tariff revisionists In the Republican ranks, 1
who, if allowed to deflect lu a popular i
election, would Insure an overwhelming J
Democratic victory. They must be held In 5
line on promises as vague as tbey are willing 1
to swallow, but held they must be. Once I
the party has again triumphed at the pons, t
1 it Is easy enough wlih the party lash to co- v
eroe Its own minority In Congress. A ma- \
Jorlty of the Republicans would continue an t
excessive, discriminating tarlfl until the people,
despoiled of their all, become mere vas- a
sals of the trusts. t
It Is interesting to witness some of the fi
plans devised for deferring revision. The r
latest ,'ls the suggestion ;tbat a tariff com- t
mission be appointed (and even this goes too f
far for some of the brethren) to go over the 1
tarlfl lists. The reason is apparent This t
commission would, of course, be named by t
"stand pat" brotherhood. It would not re- I
port until after the Presidential eleotlon, and i
the nature of Us report might well be pre- f
dieted. f
Pressed by its own creatures, the trusts, 0
wnom it bas sworn to protect in their ra- g
paclous greed; badgered by tbe pe j>le, who
have stood 1 tie limu oi corporate u|juirm.uu, ..
tbe Republican parly has made Itself rldicu- 0
lous by Hb timid and Inactive course In tbls c
Congress. t
Bul tbere are prominent Republicans who it
realize tbat tbe time bas oome when tbe If- 1
sue must be met. Witness tbe protest of Lbe fc
Republicans of Massachusetts, wbo are on 1
ibe eve of revolt. Witness the statement of e
Governor Cummins, of lows, thrice gover- r
nor of the State ou the Republican ticket, t
He said; ' I
' All the robberies and thefts committed by I
all tbe Insurance companies officers since
the business of life Insurance originated do t
uot amount to tbe extortion due to the Ding- e
ley bill lor one year." g
The very men wbo are enjoying the fruits r
ot excessive protection, seeing tbe advancing t
storm of outraged public opinion, have o
thought to avert It by conlesslons and con- e
cessions. Mr. Mills, president of tbe Nation- I
al Association of Implement and Vehicle v
Manufactories, made tbe following startling f
confession; II
"When Congress gave us45 per cent, we c
needing only 20 per oent they gave us a Con- p
gresslonal permit, If not an Invitation to b
consolidate, form one great trust, and ad- b
vance our prices 25 per cent, being tbe dlflei- n
ence between tbe 20 per cent needed and tbe o
<r> ner cent, given. This difference would
give a net annual profit lo my com w
pany only of Irom Ave hundred thousand to w
six hundred thousand dollarB, and to the In- a
dustry at large a net increase In profit of sixty t<
or seventy-five million dollars." b
It will be noted alao that Mr. Mills frank- 11
ly admits that the act of Congress, in practl- n
cally shutting out foreign competition by ex- s<
cesxlve tariff rates, was taken'as an lnvi- 11
tation to consolidate and so shut ofi home 11
competition. There Is no more doubt that
trusts are the immediate offspring of protec- a
tlve tariff than there is doubt tbat the sun tl
sblnep. The physical facts proclaim It. Why 11
during the little more than ten years of the li
operation of the Dlngley law 655 independent b
corporations have been merged Into 33 form- p
lug giant trusts In almost every conceivable ei
line of business. In these are not Included si
the steel trust?greatest of tbem all?Incorpo- d
rated at $1,-104,000,000, nor the Standard Oil V
trust, that octopus that draws lis blood from &
every man who burns a lamp. b
If these physical facts are doubted, surely si
none will doubt the testimony of the wit- ft
nessea for the defense. J have quoted Mr, r<
Mills. I now quote Mr. Havemeyer, than A
whom no one is better authorized to speak, c
He said; tl
' The mother of all trusts is the customs a
tariff bill. The existing bill and preceding ai
ones have been the occasion of the formation u
of all the large trusts, with lew exceptions, a
inasmuch as thev provide tor Inordinate pro- S
tectloa to all of the Industries of the country, S
sugar alone excepted. There is probably m
not an Industry tbat requires protection of o!
more than 10 per cent-ad valorem. It is the ti
Government through its tariff laws which re
plunders the peoDle, and the trusts are merely
the machinery for doing it." 8?
It gives one that tired leeilng to bear the m
President and the leaders of the Republican w
party talk of throttling, exposing, ana oioer 8t
wise curbing the encroachments of trusts, |E
I wben with blandness they feed these crea- tt
lures, overlat from the tarlfl table. One ei
might as well expect to destroy a Held of nut p(
grass by mowing the surface and leaving the if
nuts In the ground unharmed as expect to P(
curb the trusts while they are fed on exces- w
slve tariff rales. ril
By the way, H may be remarked that Mr. p(
Have meyer complained that his trust alone tb
was not receiving adequate protection. The re
lust annual report of the American Sugar <j?
Refining Company shows net earnings 01 dc
89,000.000 and a surplus ol 82,500,000 alter pay- ju
lng a 7 per cent dividend. Mark you, bow- w
ever, the refining process Is only ihe difference
Jof 13 cents per hundred between the _
""wio nrttcie and the tariff on
the finished product. While that going to V1
llie refiner may be comparatively smallirom
a trust standpoint, the 11-3 cents per pound
protection granted the Southern sugar planien>.

We are not kicking against the Utile mite tr,
that comes to the South, so long as the policy be
of plundering Is In vogue, bui it only serves ht
to demonstrate how the people pay for the
protection o! the few. There Is some exouse Ht
for a tariff on sugar, when the thousands ot a?
producers are benefited. There Is some ex- ,
cuseforablgb tariff'on beef when the thous- Ch
ands of cattle raisers are benefited, ta
Tnere Is some excuse for htgu Kr

jrowers of the South? No. the South has n
practical monopoly of cbtton and tbe producer
receives no benefits of the tariff except
the crumb {that comes Indirectly from tbe
tariff on tbe manufactured article. Are tbey
ihe cattle rain rs of the West and Southwest?
No, there Is no country that raises sufficient
beef to com pete wtth the cattle men of our
3wn country, at home. Then who are these 1
laboring men? Tbe Republican campaigner
means tor tbe term to apply to every man 1
Evbo eats bread by tbe sweat of bis face. In
reality, tbe only laboring man who may 1
:lalm direct ibeneflt from tbe tariff Is ibat
nan who Is engaged In tbe manufacture of a
protected article, constituting a very smal
aer cent of tie labor of ihe United States, I
would not cut 1 cent irom bis wages, and tbe
acts show that he would lose nothing under
i revised tariff.
With all our high tariff rates, bas the lajorer
really been benefited? Has be received
lis part of the spoils? Ifso, what mean these
request strikes that are so disastrous to both
aborand capita!? The price of necessaries,
he oost of llvlmr. as stated by Byron W.
Jolt before the National Civic Federation,
las advanced 55 per cent In the United Statec
n tbe last ten years. Everybody knows how
learly the average laborers' wages are ad
usted to his absolute necessities, and tbat
>5 per oem advance in his expense of living
s scarcely met hy bis advance In wage>.
Ind then, too, there are great hosts of lalorers.
clerks,!officers, and professional men
vho receive not one cent from the tariff, but
vho are forccd to pay tariff made prices lor
heir necessaries.
but is not excessive tariff, in some respe ts -i
i positive hindrance to tradi? The law oi J
tarter and exchange is as old as the human
amlly: and nations, like Individuals, trade
noat where they And .their own commodN
les have the readiest and easiest market,
n the year 1902 the foreign exports of EngIsh
manufactured goods, a free trade coun
ry, amounted to 81,200,000,000 while that ol
he United States amounted to $100,000,000.
n tbe year closing August 31 last, Great
Jrltaln, taking most of ber;raw materia)
rom us exported 20 yards or cotton cloth
or every yaru exporieu oy u* ubhiuch zdo.uuu,
00 pounds of yarn. Our exports of cotton
;oods bave not grown an lota In Ave years
Last year our total exports of manufactured
irtlcJes to Oblna amounted to lens than 80 000
00. Almost every day we bear that tbere In
io market for coarse cotton goods,, and yet
be price of cotton goods is not low. What
s the explanation? It Is largely thin; Cblua
h buying her coarse goods in a market where
ler own commodities flod easy acoess. Bhe
Is simply governed by the law of barter and
xchange, Asa consequence our mills are
unmng on short time, and the laborer Is left 1
o do the best he can on his reduced earnings. .
h there not just the suggestion of a lesson in 1
hepe statement*?
Let us go even a step further. Existing J
arid rates are so high on some artloles as to
xclude tho foreign competing product ultc
ether. Of course the whole Il6t might be aised
ho as to exclude nil Imports. Then r
here is no doubt about high tarlfls reducing ^
iur Imports. The figures and tacts quoted *
ibove show that foreigners do not trade
argeiy with us except for food products, for
rhlch latter tact we may thank the Bountlul
Otverand not the protective tariff. Now
ben If our exclusive policy limits the pur- T
base of our manufactures largely to our own 1
fople, Ik the nation really the gainer therty?
Individuals may grow rlober or noorer,
ut Is the common treasury benefited? Does ?.
ot the only addition to national wealth
ome from Its sales to foreign countries?
It high tarlfl fleeced the stranger .along 81
Mtb ourselves, we conld bear the burden ,
Mtb less Irritation. But the fact is every .
sanufactured article we send abroad Is sold e
a the foreigner for much less thao It can be
ought at home. Necessarily so, .for abroad
i comes In competition with unprotected
jauufactorles of the same kind, and It muni
aek the same level. One or two notable lustrations
will euffloe to demonstrate
ae principle. '
There is a provision of the tarlfl law that
n article made in this country and sent ouL ol S
ae country can be brought back free of duty,
'It has not been Improved upon or advanced ^
1 value. A certain broker In England p
ought a lot of American watches at foreign w
rices, about 30 per cent lfB8 than tbe Am- w
rlcan price, wholesale. He reshlpped these \
irae watches to tbe United States, free ol
uty, and sold them far below tbe trust prices,
f ben this began to leak out tbe trust was, ol
Durse, up In arms, and refused to fulfill tbe
alance of the contract. Tbe broker entered ['
lit, aud tbe trust paid a heavy fine rather !r
irnlsb more watches. Now, to obviate a H
ourrence, every foreign dealer who buys n
merleau-made watches Is drawn up In the
io*t binding agreement that be will not sell F
ie goods In tbe United States unless tbey
re Improved or changed, in which case they
re dutiable. A common fraud Is practiced .
pon our people by the trust sending thelf "
lovements and cases abroad, putting on
wlas dials, and selling tbe same here as
wlss goods. All kinds of damaging test!?
lonv have been lodged with the Department
r Justice touoblng tha conduct of the watcb
ust, but the Department baa complacently
icelved It as Information. rj
We will cite another case In point going to C(
iow tbe discrimination against tbe borne
larfcet. A certain Arm. in Portland, Ores., c<
lsblng to buy a carload of tin plate aud a
ieet Bteel, secured the cooperation of a firm g
i Vancouver, British Columbia, who bought _
le goods In their own firm name, paying "
ght or ten dollars per ton less than tbe fe
inland firm would have been forced to pay g
buyingdirect. When the goods were ship;d,
tbe draft, with bill ?>f lading atiached,
as sent to tbe Vancouver firm, who Immeotely
paid It and forwarded it to the Arm in s
artland. The goods In transit bad to pass
rough Portland, but on arrival there the Jr
al owners urmed with tbe waybill claimed
illvery of their goods, and the road could f'
) nothing but comply. And so, by a little J,
tematlonal conspiracy, the trust was oulItted
for once.
An American engwged In a small railroad
iterprlse In Georgia, and another in Hon- "i
iras, asked for prices of rails nut! was In- at
rmed that the rail9 for the Georgia road ac
Duld cost him $28 per ton and the rallH lor tu
e Honduras road would cost him S'.'U per an
n. tl(
[n the name of outraged justice, In whose
terest have the manufactories ot this couny
been fondled, fed, and fattened? Are our
ime people alone to be fed to his hydra- at<
laded Industrial cannibal? May the day w
>on come, and I think It will, when the
tie Independence that Is left In us will le
sert ltBelt! Tl
&nd now we come to the old campaign ce
orus of the Republican part*-, that high ?
riff and prosperity go hand In band. No
eater fallacy was ever fltumed In the faces
an nvercredulous people. In the firet place ]
is country has not bad an Inadequate tarlfl tla
forty years. The rates under tne socalled
)emocrat tariff," better known as the "Wll- tb?
n Act," averaged42 percent against 50 per )ej
t, the average under the iMcKlnlfy Act. po
ie Republicans have time and again ussertwlth
bold effrontery that the Wilson retlon
act wa? responsible for the panic of
13. The fact is'he Wilson bill did not t e- st,
uje law until 1S91, and the panic was raging .
lourteeu mouths before Its passage. ue
?he Republicans lowered the tariff lists an
erage of li per cent In 1S72 and there was a lifi
nlc In 18*3. Tariff rates were soaring along m..
the top notch when the panic, the effects]
wblob are still felt, came on, causing a loss >
property and a shrinkage in values ol
>re than thirty-five hundred millions ol ^
llarp. How will the gentlemen on the do
