Every little while it just will rain. See that your name is on the Dem ocratie-club roll. Just remember that big county fair | this fall. "Woodrow Wilson Wins" ? No vember headline. This seems to be a bad year for dark horses. The Democratic convention couldn't have done better. Well, both national conventions are over?"is everybody happy?" > Have you picked out your job un der the new Democratic administra tion ? Now is the time for all good men to send their mite to help elect Wood row Wilson. There are now 48 stars in the Amer ican flag. Ari/xHia and New Mexico are two late comers. Forty-one persons were killed in a railroad wreck at Corning, X. Y., on the Fourth. It took a long time to accomplish it, but the Democratic convention fin ally did the right thing. What has become of the old-fash ioned crowd that used to like to listen to burning oratory on the Fourth ? There are 13 letters in Woodrow Wilson's name, but as he will be in augurated In 1913 the Jonah i? queered. July 1 was dividend day. Did you get. yours? If not, you ought to get in Hne. There are some good invest ments to he had in local enterprises. Aug. 7, at Seagirt, Gov. Woodrow Wilson will be notified of the fact that he has been selected as the nom nee of the Democratic party for Pres ident. Already the State campaign ha* drawn first blood. At Kingstree last week one man was killed by his first cousin as a result of a quarrel about politics. At Manning hist week neither can didate for governor was permitted to address the voters on accotfnt of a duel of cheering' indulged in by the supporters of Jones and Blease.' Such a condition is a sad reflection on the State as a whole. Unless something is done to improve the tone of the campaign in future it will result in the discontinuance of the county-to county canvass. Mr. Wm. P. Calhoun, of Edgefield, asked The State a rather pertinent question the other day with regard to the seal of the Confederacy to'which we have so far failed to see a reply. Mr. Calhoun says that if the great seal failed to arrive in this country in time to be used "before the fall of the Confederacy, then the seal which was last seen at Abbeville is the only one which can possess much historic value. Says the Anderson Daily Mail: "A fellow who was jilted by an Abbe ville girl Bays that kissing is the sur est way to remove paint." Of course ' we can understand why one con demned to live in Anderson1 WOUFd find it hard to believe that nature herself is the painter whose delicate touch imparts that exquisite bloom to the cheeks of Abbeville girls which is the envy of an admiring world, but how anyone could TWagihe* ati Abbeville girl permitting herself to become well enough acquainted with an Anderson boy to "jilt" him passes our understanding. Last week in this column there ap peared a paragraph with regard to Solicitor Bonham's failure to ask a special term of court to try Vaughn, charged with a terrible crtare^against the orphan children entrusted to his care at the Odd Fellows Home in Greenville. It has been called to our attention that the time between the Arrest and escape of Vaughn was in sufficient to have secured his convic tion, even had a special term of the <*)urt been secured. In view of this fact, the point of the criticism is lost, and The Press and Banner cheerfully .admits its error in attributing blame to Solicitor Bonham. TO regllAte trusts. ' President's Taft's administration' has in a measure mitigated his blun-' der iu signing the Pay ne- Aid rich j tariff' bill by prosecuting the trusts.! But it may be reasonably asked if the j whole theory of "trust busting" is not bad policy and a delusion. Trusts are usually spoken of as be ing of thegenus reptile, specieoetopus, but they might be more correctly classified and designated as belonging to the snake family of the jointed variety. The parts will live and thrive and in due time will reunite, 'fhe ex pense of conducting a hundred plants is giteater than the expense of con ducting the affairs of a trust under one matfager, and the consumer bears the additional cost. A more sensible method of reg ulating trusts would be to regulate their capitalization and fix a maxi mum profit on stock of real value. Every State has its lawful interest rate and its laws against usury. If a man may not be charged excessively for the use of money, why should he be charged excessively for the pro- , ducts of monopoly? The government assumes that a monopoly or tVust ex ists in a measure in violation of the rights of the individual and it is on this ground that interference is ex cusable. If the national government I may demand access to'the books of a (rust, may divide it up into itsorig- ( inal elements, it could'with the same , authority fix a maximum annual profit, and require that all overplus i of profit be paid into the government 1 treasury. ! An act of Congress working out J these details would divest the trust of its dangerous features. Prosecutions and suits under the i anti-trust laws really do no good and they tend to unsettle business. A ' law limiting trust profits and basing ! them on the physical or real value of , the investment, would eliminate wa- ] tered stock and pull the fangs of even 1 the oil octopus. Let (lie combination 1 of capital go on, but the government 1 should have access to the books oi j such combinations, and annually col* t lect excess of profit. No matter how many little concerns are stifled if the people may buy trust-made products 'j *tt a reasonable price. And whenever the trust must pay an excess of pro fit to Uucle Sam or lo the people, the people will receive the benefits. Since the government permits a trust to eliminate competition, it would seem to be clearly within the ] right of the government to confine < the trusts' exactions within reason- H able limits. < ( A HUMAN FEELING. Champ Clark should not be cen sured too severely for displaying bit terness towards Mr. Bryan. It is but natural that, having been elevated to a point where the nomination seemed aMost within reach, he should feel the fall more acutely than those who e hopes had not been buoyed to such high state. Then, too, having been a lifelong and anient supporter of Mr. Bryan and having had the Nebras kan's practical indorsement prior to the ast* mbling of the convention, he had some reason to expect Mr.Bryan's influence to rettiain behind him until the successful culmination of his tight for'the nomination. Had Mr. Clark joined hands With Mr. Bryan in the fight against Parker, it is our belief that he and not Woodrow Wilson . would now be the nominee of the j party. For our own part, we can not but 1 believe the convention acted wisely in its choice, but at the same time, we cannot find it in'bur heart to censure Mr. Clark for feeling bitterly towards the friend who, at the crucial mo ment, failed him utterly. Mr. Bryan was no doubt actuated by a motive . more compelling than friendship, but e to hope that Mr. Clark wiH ever be 1 able to appreciate this fact wouldkbe 1 to ask for him attributes beyond the * range of mortals. Mr. Clark's loyalty to the party and its nominee will in no wise be ef fected by the outcome, but his fealty to Mr. Bryan is shattered beyond hope of repair. A NATIONAL CAMPAIGN FUND. Not since the war have the chances of Democratic success appeared bright as in this good year of 1912. Unless all signs fail the President to be inaiigtfrated March 4th next will be the nominee of the Baltimore con vention. But to accomplish this rauch-deshed result it will be neces sary to have a considerable ?um for the legitimate expenses of the cam. paign. It may not be necessary, and certainly it is not desirable, to have a large slu??h fund with which to de bauch the electorate of doubtful States, but it will be necessary to spend large sums for purely legiti mate expenses. ? Who is to furnish this moneys, I)o the people want to rule? liis/fai; them to answer. For the Republic can parry me great pruveuveu minis tries will, no doubt, as' usual, furnish sufficient sinews of war, in the confi dent and well-founded expectation of ample reimbursement through the system of protection. But the Democratic party, with its candidate and its platform, cannot af-1 ford and Avill not tolerate such an un holy alliance and must depend upon J I the average citizen for the funds nec BTT^nY.rh'. essary to carry on a successful cam paign. * The same appeal has been made be fore, but in a great many cases has fallen upon deaf ears. Let it not he so this time. Let every Democrat, according to his means, contribute something to the splendid success which lies at our door. In Kewberry County the Demo cratic executive committee has asked every club to raise a collection for this purpose. Let Abbeville fall in line. We hope the county executive committee will riiake provision for handling donations to the campaign fund, but if not, The Press and Bsin ner will gladly accept and transmit contributions from any who desire to forward the same. Friday, July 12, examinations will be held at the office of the County Superintendent of Education for scholarships in Clemson College and the University of South Carolina. There are three vacancies from this county at Glemson for the full four year course and one for the one-year course in agriculture. SUNDAY NIGHT AT THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. LabtrSunday night quite a full congrega tion assempled for divine worship. The singing was an appropriate prelude to the sermon by the pastor, Rev. H. W. Pratt, who took fortius text: "My son, give ine thy Jieart." The sermon was an awe ap peal to all sorts and conditions of men to freely give their hearts to our heavenly Father, the heart being the only gift which he dedjred, or had required of us. We ought to gi.ve our whole heart to him, without condition or reservation. It should be a free gift, not a loan. Mr. Pratt's ability to present gospel truths gives force. He teaches the vitid truths without undue familiarity with the heavenly Father, and his manner is such is to teach his hearers reverence for the aoly Name. He avoids the vain repeti tions which are' forbidden in the Third Dominandment, and he would impress his hearers with the sacredness of the temple which had been erected and dedicated to L?_ 1-1- 111 I. _ 1 ine woreilip ui mui wnu io*r? uo, aim wm? *ent his Son as a propitiation for our sins.
