Walktr, itcretarjr ud Manager Wednesday, Nov. 13, 1912 Going to the inauguration? The nation's loss is The Outlook's gain. And the Panama canal will be opened under a Democratic adminis tration. Virginia has given the nation an other president, but South Carolina helped in his training. No need to worry any more about the plural of Bull Moose. There ain't no plural. Let us have no monkeying with the Jdog law by the legislature this winter. The dog days are over. It is freely predieted that the Unit ed States fleet will capture Charles ton Nov. 21-23, a feat it failed to ac complish in 1861-85. The siglit will be well worth seeing. Last year there were 35,000 inoro deaths than births in France. France probably leads the world in the num ber of people engaged in aviation, vvhifh innv or mav not, amiunt for the fact. The building used by the State ' Dispensary was recently sold for $125,000. At that rate the asylum property should be worth more than enough to pay off the increased debt incurred for that institution. The next legislature could employ its time this winter in no better way than the discussion of plans for the improvementofour high ways. This subject will have a great bearing u|>on the development of the State, and Dolitics should be kcDt out of it. Visitors to Columbia during the State fair remarked upon the evi dences of growth and prosperity to be seen on all sides in- the capital. The beautiful Arcade building was ITn attraciion that elicited admiring comment on all sides. South Caro liniahs are proud of their capital city and her growth affords them gratifica tion. A farmer who lives in Horry coun ty told the editor on the train the other day that he had gathered from two acres $700 worth of strawberries in one season. 'Of course he happened to hit the market just right, for the next season his proceeds from the same patch were only $250. But even the smaller return made his ef fort worth while. * The berries were shipped to the northern markets, the community combining to make up a large consignment to New * York brokers. The same farmer said he had not planted cotton in 14 years and was making more money than when it constituted his chief crop. < iV'. ' . ? " " -i? ? VICTORY AND OBLIGATIONS The overwhelming victory of the Democratic party will impose a heavier obligation than has rested upon the party in many years. The task set for the next administration is not a light undertaking. To com pletely change the administration at Washington and reverse the policies that have dominated for .the past twenty years is itself no mean job, but to do these things in such a way as to cause the least confusion and to upset existing conditions no more than is necessary to restore the gov ernment to its right relation to the people is a task for a man of tact, courage and ability. Happily for .the party and for the ation, Woodrow Wilson has dem-| onstrated that he is sufficiently en dowed with the necessary qualifica tions to entitle him to the cordial support of alWDemocrats. That sup port he must have in order to make his success at the polls worth while to the country. That Mr. Wilson will'be able to heal every breach that may appear in the party no saue man can expect, but he is a man of ideas, forceful withnnf hpincr rlncrnnfltio?runnhlp of commanding leadership and worthy of exercising it. For this reason the prospects appear bright that he will have the undivided party support/ Fortunately for the Democrats con trol of the last House has in large measure perfected the organization of that arm of the national government, which will mean considerable saving of time in taking up measures of im portance. Under the leadership of Hon. Oscar Underwood the Democratic majority * of the present Congress presented a solid front and under more favorable conditions might have been able to accomplish more for the good of the natioi). "|n" * Both Leader Underwood and - "i7' ' Basrmsssarn Speaker Clark can be of more service' to the party and the nation in the positions they now occupy than they could possibly be in the nsw presi dent's cabinet. It i*to he hoped they will both remain where they are. The big problem for the Democrats will he the tariff. Governor Wilson has expressed himself as in favor of a gradual readjustment of the sched ules in the'interest of the consumer. A sudden and complete change of ex i-tinor duties would without doubt upset business generally, but the new administration will undertake the revision in a maniier that need af fright no honest industry and that should bring relief to millions of Americans laboring under the burden of an ever-inereasing cost of living. The results may not be felt to an appreciable extent for several years, but that they will be felt we need have no feur. There is another problem with which the new president will have to deal which the change from one party to the other will accentuate. This is the problem of patronage. Governor Wilson is too large a man to allow himself to be pulled and hauled about by politicians more in terested in paying their politicai debts than in serving tne interests oj the nation* To be sure he will be governed greatly by thr advice ol party leaders, otherwise th^ unity ol the party wiir be destroyed, but, bent upon a real service to the na tion, Governor Wilson will not per mit the dispensing of patronage to occupy more of his time than effi ciency t in the public service will de mand. All in all the prospects for the Democrats are bright with hope. Their cause is great, their leader is great and a great victory has been vouchsafed them. i>l ay the nation, under Democratic rule, prosper as i has never prospered before is out earnest wish and our firm belief. | ; f J r j. i. j. JUMPING AT CONCLUSIONS. Mr. Delvolb, the airship man who "flew" in Abbeville a few days ago was, according to the Abbeville Me d^um and The Press aud Banner, a very "modest" young man when tin "personal note is sounded." Quitt modest. Modest enough to get two columns of free..advertising out 01 each of those progressive papers.? Laurens Advertiser. All of which goes to show how easy it is to misjudge when jumping at conclusions. As a matter of fact The Press Urid Banner, so far frou being "worked," sought out Mr. De Kor and asked for the interview. The only ideii sought was to convey to its readers some information upoi. a topic which appeared to interest quite a number of people. If aero planes Jiave become so common in I uiipunu thuf- fnllfsj nrp nn longer in terested in them then we are forced to congratulate them, but there were many people in Abbeville to whom an airship was quite a novelty and the story published iii this paper wa>, as near as we could make it, an an swer to the many questions asked by spectators'. ' The Advertiser is wrong in its con clusion.- It may have been an error in judgment as to what would inter est, and it may have been the fault oi bad expression that interesting facts were woven into a tiresome story, but there was not even a veiled at tempt to "work" anybody. The writer of the article in question has been connected with newspapers for nearly a quarter of a century and be lieves heknows a "worker" by sight. The aviator who flew in this town bore not the slightest resemblance to the species. - *t <1 - wi?? WHAT'S YOUK HUKltY ? For the sake of decency the Demo crats of1 this State should refrain from entering into a mad scramble for the few Federal jobs at the hands of the incoming administration. Ev erybody doesn't need a job and every body can't get one, ana noimng is iu be gained by a mad rush for the pie counter except to emphasize the greed of the scramblers. When the time comes the job? will be given out to those who are qualified and properly endorsed; arid nobody rieed tear his shirt in an effort to be first in line.- It looks bad and it won't help a particle. FKASEil LYON. Announcement has been made that thfe name of Fraser Lyon will be pre sented to the new president for Unit ed States District Attorney. Mr. Lvon's friends in this, his home town, would be glad to see him placed in this position, and believe that no better man could be found for the post. Clean, courageous and capable, he has demonstrated his worth as attorney general and would fill ahy post to which he might be as signed with credit and honor. His home people gladly indorse him. POBTO RICO'S NEW WONDER From far away Porto Rico come re ports of a wonderful new discovery that is believed will vastly benefit the people. Ramon. T. Marchan, of Barce loneta, writes "Dr. King's New Dis covery is doing splendid work here. It cured me about five times of terrible coughs and colds, also my brother of a severe cold in his chest and more than 20 others, who used it on my ad vice. We hope this great medicine will yet be sold in every drug store in Por to Rico." For throat and lung troub les there is nothing better. A trial will convince you of its merit. 50c and $1.
