We are glad to know that Sena tor Tillman is improving and hope &2 will soon be himself again. The Charleston Post thinks Mr Bryan probably has as good a chance as anybody to be elected, and the best chance of anybody to be nomi nated. Should a terrible drought or some other awful calamity befall Calhoun County some of the people at St. Matthews would swear that Orangeburg caused it. Those subscribers who have not complied with the new postal ruling "by paying up their subscription as we requested them will have to be drop ed from our subscription list. The News and Courier seems to think that Lyon can successfully "buck Ben Tillman for the Senate. I Well, we won't discuss that now, but we will just wait and see. Th^ last message President Roose velt sent to Congress was a complete surrender to the big corporations and trusts. It made Wall Street put on a smile that refuses to come off. _ The News and Courier is patting Senator Tillman on the back. Our otemporary has a political axe to grind and it wants the Senator to help turn the grindstone, but we fear it is wasting its blarney. The Press Gang will meet at GafT neyinJune, and Brother DeCamp says the good people of that beauti ful little city want every Editor in the State to attend. So brethen ar range your business accordingly. ? The Florence Times says "it is getting so now that it is no safer to shoot a negro than to do anything else that is bad. We note that a white man was convicted of mur der for doing that very thing a few days ago." Some of the people at St. Mat thews seem to think that the people of Orangeburg lay awake nights studying out some plan to hurt that little cross roads villiage, but they are mistaken. St. Matthews has our consent to become as large as New York if she wants to. We have sent Dills to a number of subscribers who owe us several dol lars each, but they have ignored them. These accounts we propose to sell to a collection agency. As some of the people who owe them are able j to pay, the company will get the) amount out of them or Know the reason why. Receiver McCullough says he has | received a number of letters from "prominent Democrats" of the State asking him to use his influence with Judge Pritchard in their be half in the event that Receiver Ar thur resigns. Such "prominent Dem ocrats" as Mr. McCullough, for in stance. J It is said that Hearst's Indepen dent party and Tom Watson's pop ulist party will unite this year. The Anderson Advocate savs "you have heard of the two snakes that started out to swallow each other, haven't you? They swallowed and swallow ed until there wasn't anything left but their heads." There are a few of our subscrib ers who have paid no attention to the statements of account recently sent them. The new postal law re- J quires us to drop the names of such on April 1st., and this we will do, if settlement is not made on or before that date. We thank thc.- ^ whi have made settlement. Some weeks ago a little boy at Newberry w;^ bitfen by a d-.'is arm j died a few days later of hydropho bia. The Newberry city council now announces that it proposes to enforce the city ordinance requiring dogs running at large to bo muzzled. Why not muzzle the dogs in this city before some child dies of hy drophobia? Surrenders to the Corporations. A dispatch from New York says President Roosevelt's message, which was sent to Congress on Wed nesday, was received in Wall Street with great joy. It was interpreted as a message of peace to the corpor ations and there were rumors that some very large campaign contribu tions had already been made last week, as a result of it. Although the message was not published until noon Wednesday it was freely circulated in Wall Street the day before every statement con tained in it having been known to the brokers and having been printed in the Wall street news slip. The legislation proposed by the president and formulated by Repre sentative Hepburn, was regarded as epoch-making. It was considered the most important thing since the emancipation proclamation. The stock market which was mild ly excited Tuesday showed Wednes day morning the effect of heavy sell ing of all kinds of securities. The public purchased freely, believing there would be an almost immediate boom, both in stocks and business. Brokers warned in vain against in discriminate purchases. The legislation introduced by Hep burn and backed by Roosevelt in his message, was originally proposed by Seth Low, in behalf of the Civic Federation. Mr. Low, President Roosevelt, J. Pierpont Morgan and Samuel Gompers, have held numer ous consultations, whipping it into shape. The president believes he will be able to force it through con gress, but believing that it represents a surrender to the trusts and Wall street, many congressmen are re ported bitterly opposed to it, and it is expected there will be a strong fight, especially in the house. Wall street expects the senate to oppose the features, which recognize stocks, while the house is expected to oppose most strenuously the clauses against the boycott. Groping After Truth. In his gropings after truth, the biologist is forced to conclusions that often seem strange. Dr. C. A. Stevens, or Norway Lake, Me., whose "Natural Salvation" has passed through four editions since 1903, contends that matter itself is life, and that immortality is repre sented by the indistructibility of matter. This matter has been living from its lowest and most attenuated estate as ither through its aggre gations into corpuscles, atoms and molecules, which have generated sin gle cells or protozoans, developing into meta/aons and culminating in the still progressing groups of cells of the human brain, The corpuscles and some of the atoms alone seem to be immortal groups of the primitive ones. The single cells and the high er organizations, perish as individ uals, and need to be reproduced, though matter lives on in ever charging forms. Immortal life ap pears from this observer's study of the cell to be a stage of development yet to be reached. Three-fourths of the human race fall victims directly or indirectly to the action of noxious unicellular life, climatic conditions capable of control?are destructive, reprodutcion is normally exhaustive, and "old age" results from unsuita ble food and imperfect nutrition. Ten years of concentrated research by a thousand well equipped investi gators should give chemical foods that would leave in the organism neither ash nor detritus. Freed from "old age" cloging and prevent ive disease, with a certain mental discipline that may be acqueired, the brain cells seem planned to go on for-ever and the perfection of an immortal race is in accord with past evolution. Ho Would Not Do. It is said that Judge Gray has con sented to appear as an open aspirant for the ? emocratic nomination, and that he will have the support of pow erful interests. The Charleston Post says "in some respects Judge Gray would make an ideal candidate. He is known as a conservative Democrat and he is also in the good graces of the labor ele ment, his determination of the an thracite coal strike issue having giv en great satisfaction to workingmen generally. It is difficult to see, how ever, how Judge Gray could com mand the following of the Bryan element in the country. In 1896 he was an open supporter of the Palmer and Buckner ticket, nominated by the gold Democrats. In 1898, as a member of the Paris treaty commis sion, he negotiated the purchase from Spain of the Philippines, and, as a member of the Unite J Ft?'es Senate, he voted for rati.^cai. a of that treaty, the very foundation of the policy of imperi. .lism upon which the country embarked. In 1900 Mr. Bryan made his campaign for the Pre?klcT.L-y in opposition to imperial ism a* the "paramount issue," al though he had urged Democratic Stators generally?and in vain-- to vote as Judge Gray voted for ratifi cation of the Paris treaty. *; dge 1 Gray thus appears as the vei y anthi thesis of Bryanism. Now, it is ex- , tremely unlikely that any Democrat ! z&n be elected who is opposed by Mr. Bryan, and it would seem to be im possible for Mr. Bryan to support Judge Gray." WiM Not Hurt Him. Mr. Bryan is catching the votes now. Democratic conventions are being held in various States, and they are going'i his way. Indiana and North Dakota both instructed for him last week. On the other hand, the bosses of the Democratic party in New York claim to be sure of defeating Bryan in the national convention. "Fingy" Coriners, chairman of the State committee, declared at Albany on Sunday that "We've got Bryan hornswoggled for sure, and if fellows in a half doz en other States with whom we are in correspondence do as well as we've done, we'll beat Bryan, nominate Johnson and sweep the country next November." The Charleston Post says "by 'we' Mr. Conners means Charley Murphy, the chief of Tam many, and others of the gang, but doubtless they are backed by men of standing and influence, who are us ing the instruments they have at hand to accomplish something that should be done for the benefit of the party and of the country. It is not very inspiring to the honest and high-minded opposition to Bryan ov er the country to see the campaign for defeat of the Nebraskan in the hands of such people as 'Fingy' Con ners and Charley M -phy. though, and it is not going to nurt Mr. Bry an very much to have their hostility to him advertised." Very Best of Reasons. The Columbia State says: "We advocate an instructed delegation because we believe the people of South Carolina wish W. J. Bryan nominated. We believe that the principles of Democracy demand re spect for the will of the people. We believe that the delegation to the convention is not sent to select a candidate for the people but that it is sent to record the choice of the people and the only way in which the people can make known their will in by instructing the delegation. If delegations are left free to act as each individual may choose, where do the people get a voice in the choice of a candidate? The News and Cou rier speaks of delegations being 'fet tered' when it is instructed, as if its members had the right to dictate to the people of their State who should be nominated, and as if those peo ple had no rights in the premises, i That is absurd. The delegation is simplv the agent of the voters; it is left free when those voters have no choice." That is good solid Demo cratic doctrine and will be so receiv ed by all except a very small class who believe that the people have not sense enough to elect and instruct delegates. As the State says the delegates represent the people and the people should instruct them what to do. Scheme to Beat Bryan. Bankers of New York are said to have joined the movement, started in that city some weeks ago, to pre vent the nomination of William Jen nings Bryan by the Denver conven tion. The Herald reports that con ferences have recently been held be tween leaders of the movement and certain bankers with a view to hav ing some of the latter go to Den ver as delegates. The idea is to have the New York delegation uninstruct ed, and then let the bankers do mis sionary work against Bryan in the convention city on other uninstruct ed delegates. So this is the scheme adopted to head off the nomination of Bryan, but it will hardly work now that it has been made public by the press. This is t e rea son possibly that The News and Cou rier and other anti-Bryan newspap ers are working so strenuosly to have an uriinstructed delegation sent from South Carolina to the Democratic convention. They want th?t delega tion worked on by the bankers. Good as He la Pretty. The Newberry Observer says: "Jaybirds are lovely?and lively. The prettiest pictures in Audubon's 'Birds of America' are those of the blue jay. Joel Chandler Harris' de fense of the blue jayjin Uncle Remus' Magazine is one of the finest things we have seen lately, The jaybird is pretty, but it must be confessed he isn't good." If the Observer will get and read a bulletin issued by the United States on the jaybird it will have a better opinion of one of our handsomest birds. According to that bulletin the farmer has no better friend than the jaybird, which lives principally upon insects of all kinds. The jaybird is a national bird. It is found in every State of the Union and a part of Mexico. SIiouId wo Ro-KIected". We hoar from time to time discus sion as to who shall be the next speaker of the House of Representa tive;:;. Mr. Whaley has made an ad mirable Speaker and ther-? should be 10 change in this important office. In addition ro being an able and ?xperienci >l parliamentarian, Mr. SVhaley i: . ?nt!emen of rare good (udgemen ; he ia bread-mined and ' mrtiot ?nd knows no heciion or I faction in the discharge of his du ties. While he is firm, it is univer sally conceded that he is always fair and just. He is not only an honor to his City, but to the State, and his conspicuous and valuable public ser vices entitle him to re-election. It would be difficult to find a man bet ter suited for Speaker, and he should be reelected without opposition. At Hartwell, Ga., Hugh Wall, white, tried for the murder of John Norris, the latter a negro, was'found guilty of voluntary manslaughter and reccomm ended to to the mercy of the court. Wall was sentenced to fourteen years in the penitentiary. CANDIDATE CARDS Superintendent of Education.
