Gen. Keifer, the Republican Ohio
Congressman, thinks "the world is
growing better." It needs to since
the time Keifer was Speaker of the
House of Representatives, which led
to the people turning the rascals
out. _
The anxiety of Republicans for
the laboring man is becoming more
and more apparent as the election
approaches, and even Senator Knox
is running Senator La Follette a
close race with their Employers Lia
bility bills._
The Bamberg Herald thinks that
"the legislature has set a bad prece
dent in relieving the former State
Treasurers from Liability on their
bonds for the theft of State bonds by
clerks employed in the office." We
rather agree with the Herald.
We do not know anything about
them, but will wager a last year's
bird's nest against a ginger cake
that the four so-called Democrats
who voted to elect a Republican
Senator from Kentucky are all anti
Bryan men.

There is some talk of nominating
Senator Tillman for Vice President,
with Bryan as President. South
Carolina wants Tinman "to"' remain
Just where he is. ?bst.anybody can.
fill the Vice Presidential job, but we
do not know a man that can fill Till-1
man's as well as he does. So let:
him stay where.he is. ; j
It is pretty hard to punish a man
who ' has money 6r influence in this
State. If by any " accident a jury
should convict such a man, the case
is appealed to. the Supreme '. Court,
and,, after being hung up by that
tribunal until the witnesses are
all dead the man is granted a new
trial and then he goes free.
Politics are warming up. Ala
bama reports a fist fight over Taft;
the Lieut. Governor ot Oklahoma
has been arrested for flourishing a
pistol at a Democratic convention,
and this only at the beginning of
the fray. There will evidently
be a warm time in several old towns
when the patriots really get down
to business.
Reduce the Acreage.
The ?pftrtanbux{| Herald, publish
ed right'juV t^H'^uft.o!f:the biggest
cotton mill district in' the South,
warns the cotton . farmer against
ma?ung a big cotton crop this year.
As.the, Herald, says the average. far
mer don't pay much attention to the
cry for a reA^w;.mjBotton ...acre
age, and the t production of supply
crops, He;keeps. on increasing the
extent of his cotton land, says the
Herald, and is cohfenc to buy Wes
tern corn and, bacon. The cry for
a smaller cotton crop next season
has just been made. by the cotton
growers in convention at Dallas,
Texas, but we doubt that a single
farmer has resolved to cut down his
acreage this season in response to
this appeal. '
This cry has been disregarded in
recent years, during a period of
great prosperity, and the farmer
hasn't suffered, but has on the oth
er hand profitted. This year dif
ferent conditions exist in the coun
try at large, and the farmer should
think twice before he does his part
towards raising a bumper crop. The
Herald says in the warehouses of
the mills of North and South Caro
lina there are thousands bales of
cloth for which there is no demand.
In some instances this cloth has been
paid for but the jobbers having no
d mand for it, he does not order it
shipped. The cloth market is unset
tled, to say the least, and by many
it is declared to have "gone all to
pieces."
The mills continue in operation
and their product continues to ac
cumulate in the warehouses. If this
condition continnes, it will cause a
sharp break in the price! of cotton
before another year, and it certainly
presents a factor the farmer should
consider before his next crop is put
in the ground.
Bryan Answers Critics.
Some of the big newspapers have
been pleased to call Mr. Bryan "a
dictator." They insist that he per
mit the democractic party to do as
it pleases, and that he stop dictat
ing what should be done. In ans
. ewer to the charges of these news
papers Mr. Bryan says:
"How could I be a dictator?
What have I with which to force
one single human being? What
have I with which to influence one
single vote? I have no patronage
with which to corrupt you. I never
had. I have no wealth with which
to buy you. I never had. I have
no corporations behind me with
which to terrorize you. I never
did."
This is a conclusive answer, but
it will do no good. Republican pa
pers, will find something else to
hark on. They know that thin*? they (
say about Mr. Bryan are not true,
but that does not make any differ
ence. They say anything to injure
him with the people, but their tricks
will amount to nothing. They know
Mr. Bryan and they know these pa
pers.
Must Pay the Piper.
"Won't the people of the town of
Bambrrg pay nice taxes next year?1'
asks the Herald of that city. "Our
school taxes will be ten mills
divided as follows; three mills for
school house bonds, four mills for
school purposes and replacing the
new building, and three mills consti
tution tax, making a grand total for
schools alone of ten mills. The State
levy is 5 1-2 mills, and adding to this
the county levy of three mills and
town taxes of eigiit mills' will
make the eitizens of Bamberg pay
taxes of 26 1-5 mills. We don't mind
paying taxes, when we get anything
for it, so we are not complaining
aboutt he school levy, but there was
no use for the legislature to create
new offices, raise salaries, and make
extravagant appropriations." Bam
berg has many conveniences and she
must learn , that .those who dance
must pay the piper. .
Stern and Solemn,
: ; '.'We, the colored n^im^terspf the
?. M. E7 ;the Av M. E, ^ion. 'and
the C. M. E. churches of the United
States, in conference assembled in
the city' of Wasnihgt?n. do hereby
raise our voices in stern and, solemn
warning to the coming Republican
national convention not to put in
nomination ( for the presidency eith-.
er President Roosevelt or Secretary
Taft on pain of having arrayed
against either of those gentlemen
at the. polls next November, the al
most solid colored vote of the
North.". .
Great Caesar! It makes U3 shud
der to think, what it will cost the
Trust backers of the Republican
party to stem this revolt. The col
ored troops fought nobly and the
colored politicians evidently intend
to emulate their example.
Hits the Judge Hard.
Judge Robert Aldrich, at his first
terra of court in Conway addressed
the grand jury as to enforcing the
law, and said that juries did not do
their dnty some times. In comment
ing on the above incident the Bam
berg Herald says; "We know of no
attorney who has made greater ef
forts to keep juries from doing
their dnty at times..:wheji it was
against his clients, and. we trust he
wi|l inoW;lend;talL his^jnfiuenee to
having the law enf6j<^.,, He cer
tainly, will have a great^eaf to do
along this line to repay for ma i>fist
efforts at. having the guilty go un
punished." This is a s.erious1ar?aign-(
ment, but j?e .believe it js' just*. But.
the Judge now sees things from a
different view_ point, and will see
that the scales of justice are held
with even poise.
Who is the Mob?
The A;ken Recorder says: "We
have not yet seen any persons, call
ing for the nomination of Bryan,
explain where he is to get the 242
votes necessary for his election. Will
not some one of his supporters give
thi3 important information?" Can
the Recorder name a candidate and
"explain where he is to get the 242
votes necessary for his election?"
If the Recorder will give us "this im
portant, information" we will drop
Bryan and support its candidate if
he is a good Democrat. It is up to
the Recorder to name the next Pres
ident.
Mr. Hearst has decided that the
Independence League will hold its
national convention after the
Democrats and Republicans have
shown their hands.
Mr. Taft is playing politics for all
there is in it, while the uuderstrap
pers of the War Department have to
attend to the government business
which Taft is paid to do.
Three of the renegade Democrats
who helped elect a Republican to
the United States Senate are from
Louisville. That accounts for their
vote.
Warned Three Times.
After having dreams for three
nights in succession which she inter
preted as warning of her husband's
death, Mrs. John Coyde. of Brook
lyn, N. Y., was told Sunday that
he had fallen dead on a Bay Ridge
train while crossing the bridge. "I
knew this was coming," said the
gray-haired woman. "For the past
three nights I have had dreams that
could mean nothing eise. In the first
dream I saw my husband carrying a
platter of raw beef from which the
blood was dripping. The next night
I dreamed of my mother, who is
dead, doing the same thing. Last
night I thought I heard, my hus
band's footsteps, but when I went
to the door there was no one there.1
I warned him after each dream, but j
he laughed at me. I knew he would J
not come home alive after the last
one" Coyde was sitting in the train
reading a newspaper, when he top- j
pled out of his seat to the floor.
Death was due to heart desease.
Seven Terrorists Hanged.
At St. Petersburg, the seven
terrorists who were condemned to
death by a courtmartial for complici
ty in a plot against the lives of Gran i
Duke Nicholas Nichilaivitch and M.
Ghtcheglovitoff, Minister of justice,
and whose sentences was confirmed
recently by Gen. Hazenkamp, cheif
of the generalstaff, were hanged at
iaybrake Sunday at Lizzy Noss oppo
site Kronstadt. Among those who
suffered death were Calvino, the sup
posed Italian, who had in his pos
session when arrested a passport
issued to the real Calvino, the St.
Petersburg correspondent of two
Italian papers, and three women, two
Df whom were 18 and 19 years old,
respectively.

How to Entertain Guests.
For an evening's entertainment take
the names of some drugs or medicines,
such as peppermint, chloroform or
laudanum. Write each name on a slip
of paper and cut between the letters;
then wrap in white. paper,^j*6wder
fashion, each word forming a powder.
Give one to each guest, together with
paper and pencil, requesting them to
write an article on the inclosed medi
cine, its uses and abuses. Appoint a
judge to read the essays and pronounce I
judgment, the best to receive a prise.
Of course the funnier they are thebet?
tee. In one case peppermint was war
ranted to cure ail aches, from head
ache to heartache.
How to-Woch Chamois.
' Every oue does not know the secret
of washing chamois skin so as to
make It as good as new. Wet the
chamois In a weak solution of washing
soda and water, rubbing plenty of
white soap into it Let It lie for two
hours, then rub between the hands un
til clean. Binse in a weak solution of
soda and water with a little soap shak
en in. If rinsed in pure water, It be
comes hard. It is the small particles
of soap that give it silky softness.
Wring in a dry towel and dry quickly,
pulling and brushing well.
How to Save Strength In ironing.
The housekeeper of limited meane
can save her fire and strength by do
ing as much iroaiug as possible with
the clothes wringer. Life Is too short
and health too precious to be wasted
sprinkling, folding, unfolding, ironing
and refolding the largest part of a
wash, riain pieces, like towels, pil
lowcases, sheets, merinos and stock
ings, put through the wringer will be
smooth enough for all practical pur
poses if the rollers are tight_.
CARE OF SKIRTS.
How to Clean, Prats and Lay Them
Away Preparly.
Here is .*. practical.plan Cor cleaning
and pressing",skirts, says the New
York American: Brush them first, then
whisk.off .with a clean .brush damp
ened in ammonia and. warm water..
Any-stain can'be removed if rubbed
out at once with a mixture of equal
parts of ammonia, alcohol and water..
After the skirt is thoroughly cleaned,
brushed and dried lay it on the press
ing table or board, pin each, plait down
in the proper fold, cover the skirt with
a piece of dark woolen goods which
has been previously dampened and
then press.
To remove dust from silk skirts do
not use a brush, but wipe them with a
piece of velveteen, which will not wear
the silk and will remove the dust very
much more satisfactorily than a brush.
Silk or ruffled skirts should be fitted
out with tapes sewed on the lower
ruffles, by which they may be hung
upside down. This prevents the Bkirt
from sagging and the ruffles from
drooping.
Gowns of delicate material should be
put away in long boxes or drawers,
each skirt being folded in plaits, into
which it should fall when being worn.
The bodices should be stuffed with
tissue paper; also the sleeves and
trimmings filled out with the paper.
Wash frocks should rlways be put
away hi trunks, boxes or drawers,
whether they have been worn or not,
for in hanging they grow stringy, are
more easily affected by dampness and
lose their freshness before they are
worn.
How to Clean White Gloves.
Nothing is so economical l or ordinary
wear as white doeskin gloves, for they
last well and wash almost unendingly,
but their success lies in the secret of
careful washing. The gloves should
be put In warm water, not too warm,
and gently rubbed with a good soap.
Tuko each glove singly and soap it
into a ball in the palm of the hand.
Rinse by gently shaking in the water.
When the rir.siug is well accomplished,
soap them again, and then without be
ing rinsed squeeze them until ail the
water has run out Straighten the
gloves, don't pull them, and hang to
dry where there is a current of air:
do not put them near a fire. The dry
ing takes rather a long time, and at
first the gloves look spoiled, says Home
Notes. But they are a real success
when once dry, and they must be
briskly rubbed together to get rid of
the stiffness-,: then they are ready to
wear and as good as new.
How to Amuse Childien.
A quiet, rainy day game for children
old enough to read is to cut out all the
animals and birds you can find; then
write the names of each on small slips
of paper, let the children have one cor
ner of the room for a playground, and
let them place all the animals on the
floor; then find the name of each one.
It will not only amuse them for hours,
but they will soon learn to know all the
different kinds of animals and birds.
Give them crayons and Jet them color
them.
Big Fire at Tampa.
The entire extreme northeastern
section of Tampa, Fla., was destroyed
by fire, which raged uninterruptedly
from 9 A. M. to 1 P. M. Sunday. The
area burned covered fifty-five acres,
or eighteen and one-half city blocks
and three hundred and eight build
ings were destroyed with a total loss,
estimated at $600,000. *
