The Times and Democrat, \ Orangeburg, S C. All the little "me too" papers ir this State are now chirping foi Parker. Tom Watson has certainly put pool old Grover Cleveland in a hole. Read what be says about him in another column. James Lipscomb, a young colored man, died of hydrophobia near Gaffney on Tuesday. He was bitten by a mad dog about two months ago. J. McRea "Whittaker was shot and killed at Boykin Station, Kershaw county, on Saturday by J. E. Gills. The dead man leaves a wife and child. 1 ^.oomis Gilliam shot and killed Sang Jeter at Carlisle on Thursday with a pistol. He claims accident, but the circumstances do not sustain that view. Miss Susie J. Scofield, a teacher in the Clifford seminary in Union, died on Sunday from blood-poison caused by the scratch of a pin on the thumb several weeks ago. Some of the papers are so much opposed to Hearst that they won't even mention the fact that he has won a great victory for the people over /the coal trust in the United ?States Supreme Court. Henry Morgan, convieoed of set ting fire to the business portion of Preston, Ga., a few weeks ago, was sentenced on Saturday to 20 years in the state penitentiary. The trial of Sidney Harrell on the same charge was continued on account of the ill ness of his lawyer.,} It is said that England is greatly worried because the British expedi tion killed some seven or eight hun dred Tibetans the other day. The "Willhigton Star says "if Tibetans get in the firing litte when a friendly salute is being fired they don't seem to have any more sense than a lot of Philipinos." Jeff Henderson, in Edgefield jail pending an appeal under a life sen tence, set fire to the floor of his cell on Thursday night, trying to burn his way out. He was suffocated by the smoke, and died. He is the same man who tried to escape a few days before by throwing pepper in the jailer's eyes. The Spartanburg Journal says: "If Mr. Hearst shall not be nominated for president by the democratic party he will at least have achieved the dis tinction of having had more lies told on him than any other man in his tory." That is true, and the men who are telling them should be asham ed of themselves. TwENTY-four persons, including some of the most prominent citizens, in Charleston were arrested on Friday night for riding on the pavements without" a light and they were all taken to the guard house in the "Black Maria"--some of them pro testing strenuously against the in dignity. Small fines were imposed. The Columbia State in speaking of a police chaoge in Greenville says: "Greenville has lost a good official by the retirement of Chief of Police R. H. Kennedy. He was the best chief of police in South Carolina?the dis pensary law and the laws against gam bling have been enforced in Green-] ville." His enforcement of the laws may account for his removal. The Knoxvllle Sentinel says: "Mr. Cleveland used some of his character istically plain language in branding as a falsehood Tom Watson's statement to the effect that he had dined Fred Douglass. The old man hasn't for gotten how to write." The trouble is Mr. Watson comes again and gives his authority for his statements, ?which will necessitate more than plain language to disprove. The Columbia Record says: "Our I esteemed friend, the Columbia corres pondent of the News and Courier, has | made a political discovery which is an nounced on the first page of the News and Courier Monday morning. It will j he somewhat startling to the Demo crats in the state, but it is stated that there has been found a growing de mand in this state for the nomination i of Grover Cleveland." How About Douglass' Book? The Greenville News says:. "Mr. Cleveland has again denied the slan derous story that he invited Fred Douglass, the negro, to his wedding reception at the White House. The enemies of the former President have persistently tried to poison the South ern mind against him, but it is low and contemptible, and those of us who admire the statesman know that he was not the kind to celebrate at a mixed feast." What has the News and other papers of its way of think ing to say about Fred Douglass' book'? In that book Douglass says that white his false friends of both colors were ! reproaching him because he had re cently married a white wife Mr. Cleve ; land singled him out for special at teniions. What these attentions were he proceeds to state. He says that Mr. Cleveland never failed to invite 1 him and his wife to all of the grand receptions, and Douglass says that "myself and my wife never failed tc : attend them." At these receptions Douglass states that Mr. Cleveland showed to himself and "Mrs. Doug lass" a bearing "not less cordial anc ' courteous than that extended to the other ladies and gentlemen present.' Douglass calls this conduct of Mr. Cleveland a "manly defiance by a Democratic president of the malig nant and time-honored prejudice.'1 Again, to show more clearly how Douglass understood the true meaning of Mr. Cleveland's conduct, the negrc goes on to say that the cordial and courteous treatment accorded him and "Mr3. Douglass" by Mr. and Mis. Cleveland was extended while he was "surrounded by distinguished men and women from all parts of the coun try, and by diplomatic representatives from all parts of the w?frld, and under the gaze of the late slaveholders." Now, as Mr. Watson says, if there ever was anything clear in a book it is clear that in this book Fred Douglass meant to give Mr. Cleveland credit and praise for defying malignant pre judice on the social equality question, and for treating himself and "Mrs. Douglass" as social equals in the pres ence of the representatives of the white race throughout the world. What made this "manly defiance of malignant prejudice" the more exqui sitely gratifying to the negro was thai it was done "under the gaze of the late slave-owners." In other words, Fred says, in effect, that Southern ladies and gentlemen were present and were compelled to wit ness in silence the social triumph of himself and "Mrs. Douglass." What has Grover to say to this? The Strenuous Roosevelt. The State says a reputable Wash ington correspondent asserts that President Roosevelt has "on various occasions dictated newspaper dis patches about himself, written com munications for the state department and sent them to foreign govern ments without showing them to Mr. Hay, ordered ships to make demon strations in foreign waters without consulting with his secretary of the navy and done other premature things not set down as among the duties of the president of the United States," among which was the appropriation of 330,000,000 for pensious without the consent of congress. In view of this temperamental tendency of the presi dent, Collier's Weekly is correct in saying that the historic divergence of political thought upon the division of power between the States and the federal government has been over shadowed by the consideration of "a division far more important and fund amental"?at least far more impor tant at this time. "The division of power between judiciary, legislature and and executive," says Collier's, "is a cornerstone of liberty," and "free government cannot exist without some division of! these powers." In commenting on the above The State says most truly that Theodore Roose velt is the greatest menace to the con tinuance of the free form of govern ment provided for in the constitution, because he is not content merely to execute the laws. Keep the Record Straight. Recently the Brooklyn Eagle said: "Twelve years &go Grover Cleveland carried the common-wealth of Illinois. The state then spoke for democracy with no uncertain sound, backing the credentials of the victor in that year with a majority of more than 25,000. Fouk years later it went the other way, after the fashion of an ava lanche, giving to McKinley more than five times the majority placed to the cradit of his immediate predecessor as president of the United States. Bryan ism operated either as an opiate or an irritant. Whether it chloroformed or incensed, it had one ultimate, one net result?it demoralized." The Pub lic, Louis F. Post's paper, comment ing upon this statement, says: "Twelve years ago'?1802; 'four years later'?1896. Observe the symptomatic omission of 1894. A truth suppressed. What is that truth? Turn to your political almanacs and see. In 1894 before Bryanlsm was beard of, the democratic delegation in congress from Illinois was reduced from 11 to 0, and the popular plurality of the state was changed from 26,993 demo cratic to 123,427 republican. This truth is concealed by the Brooklyn! Eagle for the purpose of suggesting that democratic demoralization oc curred in 189G under Bryan's leader ship and not in 1894 under Cleve land's. A clear and somewhat aggra vated case of groverclevelanditis." Sully's Failure. The Commoner says the failure of "Cotton King" DanielJ. Sully fur nishes another illustration of the un certainty that hedges about a specu lative career. Mr. Sully was more than usually successful, phenomenally , so, in fact. He became the most con spicuous cotton operator in the world and was supposed to have made a large amount of money?but all at once he suspends. If be,' with his wide knowledge of the subject and his power to inlluence the markets, could [ not succeed, how can the curb-stone I brokers and penny speculators hope i to win? The story of Sully's specta ' cular career has lured thousands and tens of thousands into gambling in cotton futures?wiil his failure be a . warning to as many? It is,a sad com mentary on American morals that it . is necessary to make against gambling the argument that it does not pay. J That it is not right should be a suffi cient reason and will be when young men learn that character and noanhood 1 are of more value than money, i A Money Making Scherte. , It has been announced that a negro , convention is to be held in July for ' the purpose of nominating a negro I candidate for president. Should such I a convention be held and a nomina tion madeand all qualified negro elec , tors in the different States give the ticket their solid support, it would put New York, New Jersey, Connecti , cut, Indiana and some other States . in the Democratic column, for the negroes in those states, who hold the . balance of power, always vote the Re , publican ticket. A negro ticket sup ported by negroes would be forcical in some respects, but since the colored brother has the franchise, if he should support the ticket it would mean the inevitable defeat of President Roose velt. The managers of the Republi can campaign have enough resources to prevent such a party disaster. The scheme properly handled could be made to pay a handsome dividend. Looking Beyond. Sometimes we feel a longing for (ho pressure Of hands, grown cold and weary in the 1 strife, Hamb, ill the quiet grave now calmy resting, So full of loving servieo when in lifo. Sometimes our hearts are filled with Litter anguish Over some grief that seems too great to hear, For one, to us more dear than life, has left us, And all our future seems bereft and bare. Sometimes wo feel a deep and earnest longing For something which in life has been denied, And our vexed spirits make a low,sad wailing, That we have missed those joys for which we sighed; Missed them perchance within this earthly region? But all we have is not our portion hero, No, our freed spirits have a wider kingdom; A future lies before US bright and clear; Bright with the radiance of a holy sunlight, Clear with the clearness of the crystal sea, ' Did not dark sin-mists cloud our earthly ; vision, Of the great Life Eternal yet to be. But pence, faint heart! let Faith spread broad her pinions, Soar to the upper realms of joy and light, Look on the things unseen with earnest glances, Look upward, onward?walk no more by sight. In the bright joy of that glad Easter morning? The last, the grandest, that our earth shall know, What joy, what rapture in the glad reunion, When bliss shall rise supreme o'er pain and woe. Let us walk onward through this lower region, Through this deep valley where sin's shadow 1 ies, Lookin.tr beyond, where sunlight gilds the mountains, E'en sometimes now too bright for mortal eyes. Great Sim of Rightoousness, arise, and guido us, Through all the dark and dreary ways of life; In life and death, shed Thy bright beams upon UK, And make us more than victors in the strife. E. G. Criminal Statistics. We have received the following from the division of vital statistics of the department of commerce and la bor: "Few social questions are asked more frequently than, what is the in crease of crime? The national census bureau is seeking an answer to this inquiry. It is undertaking to secure a record of all the persons who are sentenced to the various jails, peni tentiaries and other prisons during the year 1904. "The wardens of the state prisons and the sheriffs of the counties are being requested to act as special agents to report certain facts concerning every person delivered into their custody. Some counties have not been heard from. In some, per haps, there arc no jails; in others, perhaps, the local jails are no longer used; in still others the sheriff have possibly neglected the matter. But the records of the census bureau and the resulting statistics will not be complete until all are heard from, and it is hoped that the pressure of other business wil1 ^ot cause the sheriff of any county U block this most impor tant inquiry." We trust that all South Carolina officials will comply with this request. Such statistics are matters of general public interest and are of much importance in show ing the people their actual con dition as to the number of crimes com mitted within their state boundaries.

It is being^ currently reported, so I am informed, that I, as Sheriir, have refused to allow the Cotton Weighers to use a portion of the jail yard for a cotton platform on which to weigh cotton. This incorrectly states my position. Personally I have nooojec tion to using the yard, or a portion of it, for weighing cotton, but the law requires the cotton weighers to furnish their own platforms, and I am advised by gool lawyers that I have no power or discretion to permit the use of the yard for weighing cotton. In other words, it is not left to me. If the weighers can get proper legal sanction for such use through recommendation of the grand jury, and an order from the Circuit Judge authorizing me to allow such use to be made of a portion of the yard, I am more than willing. I only wish to keep within the law, and be protected as far as my bond is concerned. So let it be plainly under stood that I have no objection to a portion of the jail yard being used for a cotton platform or for a wagon yard. J. II. Dukes. Notice.

It tones up and vigorates tbe animal, and causes them to gain in flesh from 2 to 4 pounds per day. I advise all stock owners to keep a supply on hand and give it to their stock. Tlit re is no risk in doing so. It has been thoroughly tested and will do all I claim it to do.

A car-load of "Rock Hill" buggies just received, representing all styles of this progressive company's .goods. The "Wrenn" wire wheel "Run abouts," Surries," Phaetons," etc., are always on hand in all styles, and the fact that there are over one hundred of them in use throughout the county,, giving excellent satisfaction in every case, is within itself significant of the excellence of this now fambus line of work built by a Southern company. "Columbus," "Studabaker," "Sum mers, Barnesville," are all names which speak for themselves wheie an idealvehiclc is wanted. It costs but little more to buy a standard grade vehicle than the cheap Western product which in every case proves unsatisfactory: so why not buy the best? The most complete and expensive line of high grade work ever offered by an Orangeburg house to the public is ' now to be seen here. The public is cordially invited to call and inspect. L. E. Riley.
