Eci??fi?i? Advertiser J. L. M IMS,- EDITOB TERMS: ONE YEAR $150 SIX MONTHS .75 WJDlTXSDAff, MAR. ll, 180S. 31 Just and fear not; let all* ende thou atmest at be thy country's, thy God's and truth's -SHAKESPEARE. -The Audubon society bas for its aim the protection of all kinds of birds except jailbirds. It is unfortunate that the "tired feeling" comes over one at a sea son when gardening should begin. The Advertiser's prediction ie that unless the 'Democrats- unite and concentrate their forces upon oue man, Taft is goiug to be the next president. The position of short-term United States senator is a sine cure. He is Dot expected to do anything but vote and draw his salary of $7,500 per anDUm. Which evidences loyalty to the state in the gi eater degree, solv ing as an appoinloe of the Gov ernor, or as au appointee of a United States judge? The hundreds of thousands of men who are out of employment throughout the north and- the wage cutting generali}', will put the Republican party on the de fensive during the campaign of 1908. Texas will plant for four mil lion bales of cotton this year and Oklahoma expects to make'on* million. This should be a warning to South Carolina farmers to en large their corn fields aud pro . portionately reduce their cot"on acreage. Despite the fact that Aiken booze is ou tap across the Savan nah, prohibition ?3 produciDg good results in Augusta: During February 1907 there were 279 ar rests by tho city policy whereas during February of this year fiere were only 134, a falliug eff of over 50 per cent. As an additional evideuce of the fact that South Caroliua and the state disp?nsary were oue and inseparable the attorneys for the commission should have present ed for Judge Pritchard's inspec tion a dispensary bottle with tbe historic palmetto tree embossed thereon. * Those subscribers who do not pay up their subscription on or before April 1st will miss their paperj after that dale as we will from the list. So come up friends and pay what you can, and we will arrange it somehow for you to continue the paper until next fall. Received Flattering Vote. For a time last week it appear ed that Edgefield would have the honor of furnishing both United States senators. Without his knowledge and contrary to his wishes, the name of Hon. J. C. Sheppard was placed in nomioa tion before the general assembly for the position of United States senator, receiving a yery flatter ing vote. As Mr. Sheppard was not a candidate for the position, his friends asked that his name ? be withdrawn. Had Mr. Sheppard been chosen he would have rep resented South Carolina with honor, ability and witb/great cred-1 it to himself and his state. Should Face About. The Chicago bankers who are protesting against the passage of. a national law prohibiting gamb ling in futures are greatly in their own light. If there is one part?cu la! class that should be interest ed more than any other in the pas sage of such a law, it is the bank ers of Ihe country. Carefully con piled etatistics would no doubt reveal thb fact that nine bank officials or clerks out of every teu who are guilty of embezzlement owe their downfall to so-called speculation in grain or cotton futures. Profit Feature Prominent. The state dispensary may not have been established primarily for the purpose of making money, but there is no denying the fact that once established tbe-money making feature eclipsed all others. Not ouly was this trae of the state dispensary, but it is also true of the county dispensa ries now in operation. Wby has one been established so near the union station in Columbia, if not to tempt out-goirjg ''country COUS?DS" to purchase a supply for "home coneiimptiou. Wby did not the Aikeu board" establish a dispensary in North Au?usta be fore the barrooms of Augusta were closed? Because it would not then have paid aclual expenses, while now its net profits are doubtless greater than all cf the oth%r dis pensaries ia tho countv. '^1JU. Should Stand Together. Doubtless'-Mr. Arthur aDd Mr. Henderson are honest and sra cere in the belief that they can best serve their state by accepting the appointments from Judge Pritchard, as receivers for the dispensary fund, but theie are uot a few who are ot the opinion that they should not have- severed their connection with the com mission. These men, Mr. Hender son especially, tte needed a*s mem bers of the dispensary oommii sion. There are other good meu who could act as receivers uuder Judgo Pritchard. In the confu sion and friction that have arisen between South Carolina and the United States courts, the inter ests of the state can best be^iro moted by having the members of tho commission stand firm and with unbroken ranks. Alert aad Active. Hon. J. 0. Patterson has been no figure-head iu congress. He has been always alert and active, looking for an opportunity to serve the people of his district, of his state and of the nation. Be sides giving attention to drainage of the low lands, rural mails, agricultural experiment stations, national aid for good roads, se curing appropriations for public buildings, etc., Mr. Patterson, a3 is shown by a dispatch from Washington which we publish elsewhere, has given much time aud thought to malters that affect our people more vitally. In au able speech which be re cently delivered, Mr. Patterson criticised the president for some of bis judicial appointments, in cidentally paying his respect to Judge Pritchard. A Series of Reverses. The railroads have for som?1 time been confronted with a serios of reverses that will very material ly reduce tbeir net earning. Where not voluntarily reduced, the legis latures or railroad commissioners of the several states have cut a large slice from the passenger rates. Tben came a very material decrease in tbe volume of freight business on account of the panic last fall, hundreds of thousands of freight cars now standing idle on side-tracka. Tho last of the series of reverses is the nine-hour law which applies to railway telegraphers. Instead of baring one operator for an office that is open twelve hours, two operators will henceforth have to be em ployed. For offices that' receive dispatches day aud night three operators will have to be employ ed. The inevitable result of the un favorable conditions under whicb railroads are at present operating will be unsatisfac?ory service^ Un TeBBTi?ierfailroads are reasonably" prosperous it will be impossible for them to keep their lines and rolling stock in a condition to render satisfactory service. Immigrants Needed. This section of the country not only needs immigrants, but 'he need is uigent and pressing. Only those who employ wage laborers realize how great is this need. Of course, there is a shiftless, worth less foreign [element just as thoro is at home, but the fact that a desirable class of immi grants can be obtained and em ployed with satisfactory results has been proven by the Berck mans Nursery near Augusta. A year ago about a dozen Austrians were given employment, and so satisfactory have been their ser vices that others were recently employed. v ^ There are two strong points in favor of these foreigners : First, unlike many of the native labor ers, they are willing to work from Monday morning until Saturday uight, and, second, they are 6aid to render intelligent service. When directions are given as to how certain work is to be perform ed, they follow the directions lo the letter. We realize that there are those who honestly oppose immigrants, but all will agree that the avail able wage labor in this section of country is inadequate to the de mand. Then, how is this demand to be supplied, if not by the in flux of ? foreign element, either from other sections of this coun try or from abroad. No Uso To Die.

Garv now occupies the seat in the Uuit*d States senate formsrly occupied hy the late Senator Latimer. Mr. Gary was the leading candidate from the time tho first ballot was taken, and was elected by a com fortable majority on the fifteenth ballot. In the electiou of this worthy sou of Abbeville addition al honors have b en heaped upon sn ojd and distinguished South Carolina family. The following sketch of Senator Garv is copied from Tbe State: "Frank Boyd Gary was born at Cokesbury, March 9, 1860, and will, therefore, be 48 years of age on the 9th day of this month next Munday. His'early education was obtaiued in the Oo?iesbury Conference school, an old and famous institution under (he con trol of the Methodists. He after wards entered Union, college at Schenectady. N. Y., where he re mained for three yearp, graduating in J 881. flo was married on Janua ry 6, 1897, Miss Maria Lee Evans, daughter of Dr. Jain's Evans of Florence. ? His public carrer commenced with his election to the house of representatives in J890 from his home county of Abbeville. He served, continuously until 1901, but was not then a candidate for re-election. At his retirement he was speaker of the house. He had also been a membei of the consti tutional convention of 1895. Mr. Gary was a member of tho board of trustees that located and built Winthrop college at Rock Hill and is a trus'ee of the city schools nt Abbeville. Mr. Gary bas always beeu nn ardent secret order man. He holds the position of high priest of Hes perian chapter No. 17. Royal Arch Masons, and* is a past grand master of Clinton lodge No. 3, Accfpt?d Free Masons. He jp. also a member of Columbia cora ra an Jr ry No. 2, Knights of Tem plars, and of Omar if mp!e, Mys tic Shrine. The family of which Mr. Gary is a m.'-mW has been hoiv-red by th? Steffi in r^ont years. Hie o'dnr brother, Ibo Hoo. Eugene Blackburn Gary, is one of th? justices of the snr-ronie court and another brother, \ha Hon.

On his father's side the subj-'ct of this sketch is a lineal descendant of John Witherspoon, who was born near Glarg5W, Scotland, in 1670, and suffered persecution during the time of the Stuarts. Executive Usurpation. Congressman Patterson, of South Carolina, made an admira ble speech in the House at Wash ington the other day on the ques tion of the Federal judiciary. He has introduced a bill providing th?^ no Judge of any coujJLoflth.e Lllnj tere*-?^^-?**^-ttnr-S a p r s m e Court, shall issue, any writ'of in junction or prohibition in any case involving the validity of any Btate legislation, or the act of any state officer proceeding under the legislative authority of his state. In the course of remarks Mr. Pat terson spoke of tho almost unlimi ted power of the Federal Execu tive over the Federal judiciary. One-third of the membership of the United StateB Supreme Court has been appointed by the present Chief Executive; 12 of the 29 United States Circuit Judges, or 41.7 per cent, and 42 of the 80 District Judges, or 52.5 per cent, have been appointed by Mr. Roose velt. It is assumed that many of these Judges havo been appointed not because they were particularly learned in the law and particu larly zealous of the law, but be cause they were in hearty sym pathy with the so-called, "poli cies" of the preseut Executive. At the rate in which he has filled the Federal judiciary with ap pointees ?rho were supposed to be in entire sympathy with his views it is not unreasonable to suppose that by his own acts, and the, acts of his successor in thc Presiden tial of?ice named and br.md'd by him, un overwhelming majority" of Roosevelt Judges wmid occu py the Federal bench in the course of the next four years. We sym pathize entirely with the view of Mr. Patterson that in snch case it would be necessary for the peo ple of the county to obtain relief by such legislation as w?uld re sult in the complete reorganiza tion of the f ederal judiciary, by the abolition of tho mferior Fed eral Courts, aud by providing 6ome better and safor way of construct ing the judiciary establishment of the country.

Chfcrgeo Bfcat Construction of That Instrument is Being Interfered With by. the Executive, The State Bureau, 12 Post Bnjldiug, Wathington, March 3 Representative Patterson o' South Carolina has . ngured out that President Rooserelt has been making steady and effective ib jf-ctions into the judicial depart ment nf his policy of construing the constitution to suit the exi gp.ncas cf tho situation. Mr. Pat terson late ycflrrday afternoon disclosed his discoveries in a speech in the bouso: Incidentally he took a little wh^ck at Judge Pritchard. Referring to o publication issued by the department of justice giv ing a list of federal judges, Mr. Patterson said: ''This document showR that since bis accpsfion to office in 1901 Preaideut Roosevelt has appointed federal" judgps as follows: Supreme court of the United States, three associate judgep, one-third of the member ship of tbat great tribunal ; cir cuit courts of ti e United States, 17 of the 29 judges or 41.7 per cent; district courts of the United States, 42 of the 80 judges or 52.5 per cent. Judging these appointees by the character of Judges Pritchard and Joues, we may assume that some of them, at leant, hold the opin ions of the nppointintjf?uthority reeppcting the necessity of chang ing the constitution KjT^judicial coi stitution in order to meei the uxigenciaa of those corporation? which contribute most liberally to the corruption fund ol^he Re publican * arty.
