In a communication to The News *nd Courier in reference to the con test in the Calhoun County election Mr. J, E. Wannaraaker, of St. Mat thews, takes exception to a sentence occurring in an editorial which appeared in The Times and Democrat recently in which we said "we are forced to the conclusion that some of the townships were butchered up as they are for the express purpose of depriving certain electors of their constitutional right to vote on the | formation of the new county." Mr. Wannamaker goes on to say that it gives him "pleasure to say that the distinguished counsel who represented the opponents of the new county who could not vote fully exonerated the promoters of Calhoun County from any such purpose or in tention," and "as a matter of fact no one knew how the law would op crate until long after the lines were run, when the Attorney General gave his opinion." We have not noticed this matter to engage in any controversy with Mr. Wannamaker, whom we have always -esteemed very highly, but simply to state why The Times and Democrat expressed the opinion it did in the paragraph critizised by that gentle man. It will be noticed that Mr. Wan namaker intimates that if the pro moters of the new county had of "known "how the law would operate" before the lines were run the great injustice of depriving certain voters of their right to vote would have been avoided. This all may be exactly as Mr. Wan namaker intimates, but The Times and Democrat was lead to the , con clusion it expsessed from the fact that the promoters of the new coun ty made no effort as far as we know to correct the injustice done these disfranchised voters after the Attor ney-General called attention to the matter. It would have been an easy matter to amend the lines of the pro posed new county, as was done once before in the interest of its promot ers, so as all these disfranchised vot ers could have participated in the election. Then again, The Times and Demo crat was lead to the conclusion it ex pressed from the fact that when these disfranchised voters went to the Supreme Court and asked that the election be held up until their rights could be secured, ;he promot ers of the new county appeared in court by their attorneys and success fully resisted this reasonable effort on the part of these disfranchised voters to secure the rights guaran teed to them by the constitution of this State as well as by the constitu tion of the United States. Then again, The Times and Demo crat was forced to the conclusion it expressed because there was great bitterness manifested toward the ''distinguished counsel who repre sented the opponents of the new coun ty who could not vote" in their ap peal :o it e Supreme Court simply be cause they had, in their capacity as lawyers, tried to secure their clients their constitutional right to vote. In fact, it has been reported that on the night oi the election at St. Matthews "that the distinguished counsel who represc nted the opponents of the new county who could not vote," and whom Mr. Wannamaker now justly speaks of in !;he highest terms, were burnt in effigy by the promoters of the new courty. We do not know that this is true, but it has been reported, and we have seen no denial of it. These are some of the reasons that forced The Times and Democrat to the conclusion it expressed in the paragraph to which Mr. Wannama ker takes exception. All of our con clusions may have been wrong, but viewing the matter as we saw it, we could arrive at no other, and we think that Mr. Wannamaker himself, in the face of the incidents we have mentioned, will admit that there was just ground for that conclusion. The Times and Democrat has no personal feeling in the new county matter. It impugns no man's motives, but it has got a right to criticise the public act of ar.y man or set of men when that act effects so materially the interests I of so many people as it does in this case. In conclusion we would call Mr. Wannamaker's attention to the fact that during the past summe** a great many bitter things were said about Orangeburg and her people by some of the promoters of Calhoun County. Among other things the people of this city were accused of robbing the country people of the proceeds of the road tax collected here and using \t on their streets. It was also charged that, they contemplated pulling down the present courthouse, taking the public square as a park and making the people of the county build a handseme courthouse in some other part of the city. These charges were published in the newspapers, but surely Mr. Wan namaker could not have noticed them, or he would have "writted in the in terest of truth, justice and fair play" long ere this. In contemplating the many hard and bitter things said about Orangeburg and her people by some of the promoters of Calhoun County we fully agree with Mr. Wan namaker that "in a moment of time words are often spoken or written, thoughtlessly perhaps, which do great injustice, producing wounds, which months and years sometimes fail to heal"_ Some Plain Talk. The News and Courier says "there is no question whatever that the im provement of the Edisto River should have the careful consideration of the River and Harbors Committee in Congress. Representatives Patter son and Lever, of this State, are en gaged in an effort to make this stream navigable for boats of very light draught from Charleston to Orangeburg. Last year, as Mr. Le ver showed in his recent statement to the Rivers and Harbors Board of the War Department, 2,000 bales of cotton and 10.000 tons of fertilizers were sold in the city of Orangeburg. '"Sixteen thousand bales of this cotton were shipped to Wilmington and all the rest, with the exception of 84 bales, which came to Charles ton by some good fortune, went to Savannah. All of the cotton market ed at Orangc-burg should have been sold and shipped through the port to Charleston. That it did not take this direction, as we have heretofore pointed out, was not on account of the rates charged by the railroads for the transportation of the cotton. "As a matter of fact the rate to Wilmington from Orangeburg was 30 cents the hundred pound, to Sa vannah 29 cents and to Charleston 25 cents. The advantage of rates en joyed by Charleston as compared with Wilmington amounted to 25 cents the bale of five hundred pounds, and of 20 cents the bale as compared with Savannah. Something more than the deepening of the Edisto River, evidently would be needed to draw the cotton from Orangeburg to this port, and that something must be supplied by the people at Charleston who are engaged in the cotton busi ness." The News and Courier is right. The people of Orangeburg would like to see Charleston handle not only all the cotton that comes here, but the trade in all other lines as well. We have no interest in common with Sa vannah and Wilmington, but we have with Charleston., and for that reason and others, we would like to enjoy closer business relations with the metropolis and largest seaport of the State. The matter is altogether in the hands of the merchants of Charleston. With such an advantage in freight rates as The Ne ?vs and Courier points out they should not let Savannah and Wilmington come and take business that legitimately belongs to Charleston. Blind Tigers the Cause. Sometime before the election in Union County on the liquor question, which came off last Friday week ago, the correspondent of The News and Courier at Union predicted that the dispensary would win. The corres pondent said that the county was carried for prohibition by such a large majority in 1905 the people were anxious to give it a trial but that since that time innumerable blind tigers had been doing business in the country as well as the towns and liquor could be purchased at "nearly every other house in the county." The Aiken Journal and Review says "nothing but the exis tence of such conditions could explain the great change in the vote in that county in two years. There was no dispensary in the county so that it cannot be charged that it was due to the efforts of any officeholders; the newspapers of the county worked hard for prohibition; the pasters of the various churches delivered lec tures on the subject, at points in the county, and no champion of the dis pensary's cause appeared on the stump. On the day of the election the women of Union canvassed for votes and at the polls served lunches to the prohibitionists. With such organized work on behalf of the pro hibitionists the only explanation of their defeat is the statement of the correspondent at Union that the vot ers had decided that in as much as liquors were being sold all through the county they might as well con trol the sale of it and derive the rev enue from it." New Postal Ruling. The Dostmaster general has issued an order, which wont into effect on Jan. 1, 1908, which requires publish ers of all papers to drop from their subscription lists the names of all subscribers after a specified term following the expiration of the time for which the paper is paid for. Hereafter publishers of weekly newspapers can not carry subscrib ers in arrears more than one year, semi-weeklies, more than nine months, tri-weeklies longer than six months, and dailies longer than three months. . For each violation the publishers will be fined 1 cent for each four ounces. Since the average newspa pers weighs four ounces or less, each paper sent to a subscriber in arrers for a longer period than in dicated will cost the publishers 1 cent fine. The same ruling requires that all papers sent through the mails as sec ond class matter must be paid for and cr>t sent complimentary. The ruling will revolutionize the newspa per business, and will relieve the postal service of tons and tons of newpaper matter, which is carried at a very low rate of postage. The Times and Democrat, with all other papers, will be compelled to comply with this order, and we now call upon all subscribers who are in arrears to come up and settle or we will have to drop their names from our subscription list. Under this rul ing we cannot credit any subscriber longer than nine months. Keep tho Record Straight. As the statement quoted in these col dmns as to what Senator Tillman said in reference to the disfrachised Democrats in the territory embraced in the proposed County of Calhoun has been called in question in a com munication to The News and Cour ier, we feel called upon to state in substance what Senator Tillman did say and give the names of those who heard him say it. When it was ex plained to Senator Tillman that tne men who were fighting Calhoun County were residents of the propos ed new county who could not vote because their voting places had been left out of the new county territory, and they could not legally vote any where else, he said he was satisfied the Supreme Court would and should declare the election illegal, as no legal voter should be deprived of his right to vote. This, in substance, is what Senator Tillman said at the dinner table at the St. Josoph Hotel in this city on Wednesday, January 1. It was said in the presence of the Hon. John H. Dukes, Sheriff, Hon, I. W. Bowman, Alderman, Capt. J. H. Claffy, Superintendent Dispen sary, Mr. J. C. Ransdale, a promi nent merchant, and the Editor of The Times and Democrat, all of whom were dining with the Senator when the remark was made by him. "So much^to correct false impressions and to'keep the record straight." Senator Tillman's Speech. "If Senator Tillman's speech or lecture at Orangeburg on the race question is a fair sample of his lec tures throughout the country he cannot be said to be a stirrer up of strife," says the Columbia Record. "He discussed the subject calmly and dispassionately, seriously and forcefully. He made very clear what is apparant to any one who thinks at ail that we are confronted with a race question which cannot be set tled by palliatives. The fact cannot be blinked; it is before us and we can't get rid of it by shutting our eyes. Whether it is wise to talk about it or not, there is a difference of opinion. If we are to have a so lution that really solves, we shall be compelled to discuss the question, to discuss it sanely and in a way that looks to the welfase of both races. "The people of the South are not responsible for the race question. It was thrust upon them by the North, having had its birth in the passage of the fourteenth and fifteenth amend ment to the constitution by a sec tional and partizan congress. From that day to this there has been in ex istence this qnestion, and it won't do to say that because Senator Till man or anybody else recognizes its existence he is therefore responsible for its being a question. If those amendmenls had not been enacted there would never have been any race question, and if they were re pealed today we should cease to hear any talk of it. For what is it that makes it a race question? Not the negro as a man but the negro as a voter, who as long as he remains such will continue to be a menace. 1 "Senator Tillman believes in strik ing at the root of the evil, and possibly he is right. Enfranchise menl of the ne^ro was a mistake, so admitted now by tne North. The rec tifying of that mistake would cer tainly be an effectual remedy, would solve for all time the difficult prob lem. But the trouble is the country has gone too far now in holding to the mistake to recede. It could have been done twenty or twenty-five years ago without serious friction, but we doubt if it would be expedient to do so n^w. This, however, is a mere matter of opinion that may be er roneous. "Uoon rtip whole, wp are inclined to ihiiiK Senator Tiliinan's speech will likely do far more good than harm. It was temperate, far-sight ed, and, whether his remedy shall ever be applied or not, it will tend to impress on our people the impor tance of two things: More earnest efforts in the cause of education and the encouragement of whites to set tle in the state. While we believe that the superior intelligence of the white man will always rule in South Carolina, we should at the same time look ahead and forefend ourselves against the potency of possible ma jorities. More and better education for our people and more settlers are our present crying needs. With these, we need have no fear as to the future." BEAUTIFUL CHURCH WEDDING. Mr. Murray Wannamaker and Mist? Leila Rucker Made One. One of the most elaborate mar riages ever solemnized in this com munity took place at Andrew Chapel Methodist Church on Wednesday evening, December 18. The contrac ting parties were Miss Leila Rucker and Mr. Murray Wannamaker, both of this section. The church itself, a handsome edifice, was beautifully and artistically decorated, the color scheme green and white being effec tively carried out in every detail.

The entire bridal party marched out down the left and right aisles, and repaired to the home of the bride's father, Mr. B. F. Rucker, where a bounteous repast was served to them and a host of invited friends.
