The Times and Democrat,
Oranirebur?r. S. C.
Candidate Snerman do? not join
in the chorus for Publicity, but then
"Shgrt Weght Jim" always was a re
actionary.
It must jar the "sunshine club" to
hear the report from the Labor lead
ers that 84.000 men are still unem
ployed in the bulding trades.
This extreme anxiety of the candi
dates that the dear people shall know
all about the campaign funds must
delight the soul of Mr. Roosevelt and
"My dear Harriman."
The reported interview between an
emisary.of Mr: Hearst and Hitchcock
the chairman of the Republican Nat
ional Committee, would indicate
some phony politics this year.
You have probably noticed that
the Republican platform is silent in
regard to an income tax. Republicans
lis:e Rockefeller, Harriman, Morgan
et al are opposed to such a tax.
Judge Taft says there wilf be real
publicity in the campaign, but treas
urer Sheldon says "after" the cam
paign is over. But Taft of course
will know nothing about campaign
contributions.
A gentleman who has kept up with
the Senatorial race says in his
opinion Smith and Evans will be in
the second race. Both of these gen
tlemen will get a big vote in Orange
burg County.
The colored men of New York
laave organized a "Negro Anti-Trust
and Tariff Reform League." In this
they seem to have more political
sense than the white voters have as
for as heard from.
If there was any truth in the re
port from Atlanta of a deal between
the Democrats and Tom Watson to
throw the electoral vote of Goergia
for the latter, it had better for all
concerned be reconsidered.
Hearst says* he has lost faith in
the Democratic party and its lead
ers. Honors are about easy. Ev
erybody has lost confidence in Hearst
except little John Temple Graves
and a few other salaried henchmen.
Tom Watson, The People's party
candidate for President, says that
Bryan ought to have a Southern man
for his running mate. No doubt
Watson thinks he is the Southern
man who should be Bryan's running
mats..
Twelve mysterious checks were re
ceived by treasurer Sheldon when he
was conferring with Taft at Hot
Springs, but you will have to wait
until '"after election" know the
names of the malefactors of great
wealth who contributed.
. Mr. Sheldon, Taft's choice for
Treasurer of the Republican Commit
tee, believes money from the Trusts
and corporations is not "tainted."
We expected as mucL, and later on
expect to hear there i are no male
factors of great wealth if they con
tribute freely.
It was brought out in the investi
gations in Washington that Haerst
xvas buying his white paper from the
Paper Trust at a lower figure than
most any other paper. This may be
his reason for trying to defeat the
Democratic party. He wants to
heli> the paper trust.
That, was a good cartoon in the
Philadelphia Record of July 14.
which depicts Rooseelt trying to op
en i!!-1 prosperity safe of which he
has lost the combination. Taft stands
near in evident perplexity and a hard
Time.; calendar has the'months from
Janurary to .Itme marked with a
cross.
Althen 'i Treasurer Sheldon has
not ye; made it public, it is reported
that Ri kefeller pave his check for
$1,000,000. and the Standard Oil di
rectors have ordered $2,000,000, to
be paid to the Republican campaign
fund. It is of course understod that
the suit for the $40,000,000 fines wil
be nolle prosed.
The Fort X\\\ Times says "Gov
ernor Ans< l was in Philidelphia
when William J. Bryan was nom
inated Friday morning and a news
paper re porter asked him ii* he was
pleased with the selection of M*\
B:yaa. The governor replied that
he had nothing to say. It is to be
hoped that tl? reporter told him
who Mr. Bryan is." Wonder if the
Governor wants any votes from the
Bryanites.
Republican Publicity.
There is to be Publicity of cam
paign contributions and expenses,
law or no law. William Nelson
Cromwell, Harriman's lawyer, has
fixed it.
I Taft, the candidate,^ says so and
laugns.
Sherman will say. me too.
Hitchcock looks wise and smiles.
George Rumsey.Sheldon declares:
"I have always been in favor of
publicity."
We know it must be all true for
after Mr. Taft had ordered and the
committee had elected Hitchcock
for Chairman, and Sheldon for
I Treasurer, Mr. Taft and the com
mittee seemed rather doubtful how
Mr. Sheldon, the banker of 2 Wall
Street, New York, would be regard
ed by the voters, so the following
certificate of character and prom
ise of publicity was given out offi
cially:
"Mr. Sheldon is selected on
reccommendation of Cornelius
N. Bliss. He is president of the
Union League Club, of New
York, and was the Treasurer of
the Republican State Committee
during the campaign of Mr.
Hughes for Governor of New 3
York, and rendered a complete
statement under the Publicity
law of that State of the receipts
and expenditures of the cam
paign. This was one of the
reasons that induced his selec
tion as the law of New York re
garding publicity will apply to
his action as treasurer of the
National Committee."
What the other "reasons" were
that induced candidate Taft and the
committee to select Mr. Sheldon as
treasurer of the Republican Nation
al Committee can be judged when
we inspect the list of Trusts and
Corporations of which, according to
the "Directory of Directors" he is
actively connected with. Mr. Shel
don is director ia the following
trusts and corporations:
American Locomotive Company.
American Locomotive Automobile
Company.
Bethlehem Steel Corporation.
Cincinnati Northern Railroad
Company.
Detroit Edison Company.
Electrical Securities Corporation.
Laclede Gaslight Company.
Locomotive and Machine Company
of Montreal (limited.)
Locomotive Security Company.
Metropolitan Trust Company.
Milwaukee Electric Railway and
Light Company. ,
Milwaukee Light, Heat, and
Traction Company.
National Copper Bank.
New Jersey Terminal, Dock and
Improvement Company.
North American Company.
Republic Steel & Iron Company of
New Jersey.
Rogers Locomotive Works.
St. Louis Transit Company.
Union Bag and Paper Company
of New Jersey.
Union Electric Light and Power
Company.
Union Electric Light, Heat and
Powder Company of St. Lo?is.
That candidate Taft dotes on Pub
licity as a matter of policy is, of
course, natural, that Hitchcock will
publish every evening what he has
received and expended is doubtful
but that Sheldon will not rest any
night during the campaign until he
has given to the newspapers just
how much Rockefeller, Morgan,
Harriman and the other malefactors
of great wealth, and the Trusts and
Corporation magnates have paid
and the amount ana to whom he has
distributed the boodle is certain for
does he not say 'he is and always
has been in favor of publicity."
The Sunshine Song.
Many of the Metropolitan news
papers are encouraging their read
ers to believe that there is a return
'of prosperity. Not promised pros
perity,, but the real thing?on pa
fper. The Brooklyn Eagle reports
that there is actually a shortage of
unskilled labor at Pittsburg. As
Brooklyn is evidently doubtful of
the amount of prosperity on tap
and still in the dumps, the Eagle
tries to rally the spirits of its citi
zens by saying:
"Pittsburg does not mince
matters. It has no doubts. It
does not hesitate to say that
prosperity has returned. It
points to the railroads having
their headquarters in that city,
and shows that they have order
ed their repair shops on double
time. It points out jubilantly
that many of the railroads have
been caught short of cars in this
"sudden return of prosperity."
So the car buiiding companies
are preparing themselves to
meet the big demand."
There has b?en, it is true, a stud
ied attempt to revise business at
Pittsburg, but the improvement is
so small as to hardly be noticeable
and there are still thousands of men
ur employed. The fact that there
are rrtfles of unemployed engines
and cars on side tracks ever 300.000
of them, and that the gross earning s
of railroads are still showing a large
loss from last year hardly proves
the truth of the claims sent out by
the Pittsburg Sunshine Club boom
ers.
The Chicago Record-Herald is
another organ of the Sunshine Club
t^at see< "real signs r>f impr"vp
m.Mu" arid/t'C w 's ihv si'ne Mispir
ing song from Pakburg. It will be
noticed that these Sunshine songs
are always about prosperity in some
other city than where they are pub
lished. Prosperity is as elusive
these days, and as slippery to pin
down and hold, as a Republican pol
itician. In fact, the Record-Herald
lets the cat out the bag and plainly
shows that these Sunshine songs are
for political effect for it concludes
by saying:
"And now for : sane and rat
ional presidential campaign,
without silly and needless a
- larms and dire prophesies, in
the interest of reviving prosper
ity as well as for the sake of
the general fitness and decency
of things,"
That, of course, means that the
people must be fooled into believing
they are prosperous, even if the din
ner pail is empty or has but little in
it. Vote for Taft the prosperity re
viver and keep the Republicans in
power "for the sake of the general
fitness and decency of things."
Hearst and His Party.
William Randolph Hearst is the
only man that has ever owned a po
litical iparty in this country. He
has several jumping jacks, like lit
tle John Temple Graves, who pre
tend to joint ownership with him
but it is all a ^blind. Hearst owns
the whole thing. John Temple
Graves and all the other little jump
ing jacks that are now on his pay
rolls. Little John Temple Graves
even aspires to be the candidate of
; the Hearst party for President, and
if he can get Hearst to put his
mark on him he will receive the
small honor of leading the forlorn'
hope of the only personally owned
i political party that has ever existed
in this country. They are moving
heaven and earth to make some sort
of a showinr in the presidential
election and?o sequently the Hearst
papers prof es- i o be greatly disap
pointed in Bryan and the Democrat
ic platform. The Charleston Eve
ning Post says they ought^o be, as
it is most provokingly indictated,
that both are c-instituted to bring
about the election of a Democratic
President in November. "How, in
the name of all that is evasperat
ing," asks the Post, "will William
Randolph Hearst, candidate, or
backer of the Independence League
meet that,plan of publishing con
tributions before the election? Will
itjaot appear that he furnishes the
sinews of war for that aggregation?
There may be worse ways of spend
ind money, but there is little doubt
that without generously opening his
pockets. Hearst's influence would
shrink; and yet how would it look
to have it published to the world
that with that striking name 'Inde
pendence League' it is yet managed
by mercenaries."
A Good Thing to Drop.
Under the above caption Editor
Loyless, of the Augusta Chronicle
says "the proposition pending in the
Georgia Legislature to require Gov
ernor Smith to state his reasons for
suspending Hon. Joseph M. Brown
from the railr.oad commission ought
to be referred to the graveyard
committee^r put upon the calender
?way down: or disposed of in some
other manner where it would
sleep without waking." He rightiy
says "the preposition involves an
unnecessary and unjustifiable hum
ilation to Governor Smith. This
gentleman is still our governor and
State pride forbids any action which
might reflect or look like a reflec
tion upon our chief executive with
out a most serious and pressing ne
cessity. None such exists in the
present case. The whole affair is
old, time worn, out of date, past
and gone. Let it rest." Editor
Loyless opposed Gov. Smith, which
gives the article greater force, and
it should be heeded by the Georgia
Legislature, The high ground up
on which the article is based does
credit to the magnanimous and able
editor of the Chronicle, who scorns
to strike a fallen political foe.
Judge Parker, who was the Dem
ocratic Presidential candidate four
years ago, thinks Bryan has a good
chance to win ane says he will take
the stump for him.
Thos. Luwson, author of "Fren
zied Finance," has declared his in
tention to support Bryan ;:nd Kern.
Lawson is a life long Republican
and a closo L-'end of President
Roosevelt, but he says he can't go
Taft.

PRESERVING HINTS.
What to Do With the Luscious Sum
mer Fruits.
In jelly making season it is a good
Idea to procure some of the tiniest tum
blers that are on the market for sale
an:' for.iV rblklren's pc-uooI luneh
e:t.. i:;.'X. v in.c.
While preserving, any of the fruit
juice that is left over after filling the
cans may be put In the IcTjox and
used up in the fresh apple pies or
poured over the baked apples or pears.
Flannel jelly bags are of course the
best, and when making them make
two or three for use in case of acci
dent They should be fresh each year,
for in one season they grow hard and
too close and thick for use.
All preserve skimmings may be saved
and thrown Into the vinegar barrel or
demijohn, as they make "mother," the
so to speak parent of the finest vinegar.
Do not forget that apricots make de
licious jam. which, if not made too
stiff, is fine for the filling of fruit tarts
for early fall pastry. Their season in
market is short, and If we do not make
a note of it the season is apt to slip by
before we realize it and our chance is
,gone.
Blackberries have grown somewhat
into disfavor recently by the unpleas
ant discovery of the prevalence of bugs
on them, which breed in the wood and
from which they crawl into the inter
stices of the berries, and no ordinary
washing seems to dislodge them. If
the berries are to be used for jelly.
throwr them into a cheesecloth bag and
lightly squeeze them cold. Then there
is no danger from tiie odor of the bug.
Nearly all the juicy fruits make good
shortcakes, with the adding of whip
ped cream; also roily poly puddings
served with brandy sauce, while blue
berries are excellent in cake as well as
pie.
For the ever popular "tuttl frutti
jar start with one pint of French
brandy, one cup of sherry and a half
cup of rum. Then to eacfl cup of
fresh fruit add a cup of sugar. Pro
ceed in this way with each fruit in its
season. At the end add a half pint
more of brandy and keep in a dry
cool place, carefully covered, and stir
with a wooden spoon once or twice
month.
?Pineapple, sliced. thin, with the' hard
centers cut-out, rolled in raw egg and
cracker dust, then fried in hot lard
drained and olive put in the center of
each slice, is excellent served with
broiled cod or halibut steaks.
The cucumber cutters that scallop
the edges of the slices make them look
very dainty. With white lettuce leaves
chopped walnut meats, grated pineap
pie and heavy mayonnaise they make
a delicious salad.
Take out the inside of a ripe water
melon, free it fron* seeds and cut it in
cubes or balls, place in a dish and pour
over it a pint bottle of champagne and
chill it. When ready to serve put it
back into the hollowed out half rind
that has also been chilled and place on
a bed of grape leaves.
Archery Popular With Women.
Only three of the competitions at the
approaching Olympic games in London
will be open to women. They are ten
nis, skating and archery, and of the
three probably the greatest Interest will
go to the last Archery Is spreading as
a sport for women In Europe, and It is
expected there will be about 100 con
testants for the Olympic prizes. Wo
men of the king's household in En?
land have taken up the bow and arrow,
and it is also more popular in exclusive
circles In France than tennis. Thirty
Frenchwomen will enter the Olympic
shoot Entries have been solicited from
America, but so far none has been
forthcoming. The women competitors
will shoot forty-eight arrows at fifty
I "yards and forty-eight arrows at six
ty yards for two days in succession,
the three finishing in the lead to re
ceive gold, silver and bronze med
als respectively. Many Englishwomen
have organized a national archery as
sociation, and It is likely that, follow
ing the lead of plngpong and dlabolo,
archery will become a pastime of wo
men in this country.
Orange Omelet.
For a simple dessert or luncheon
dish the orange omelet provides a way
to use fruit which is too dry to cut in
the usual state. To an omelet made
with four eggs add four tablespoonfnls
orange omelet.
of orange juke, one teaspoonful of
the grated rind and one-fourth cupful
of sugar. Cook in the usual way and
serve with the orange carpels as a
garnish.
A Nursery Toy Bag.
A strong washable bag is an excel
lent addition to the nursery in which
to store balls, marbles and such like
small odds and ends of the toy cup
board. /'
Half a yard of good stout gray or
blue linen, about a yard wide, will
make a good bag. A. draw string/must
be placed about fourHncbes from the
top, and one of the sides should be
left open halfway down to allow the
toys in be easily slipped into it.
If bung by a draw tape on a nail or
Po? Inside the nursery toy cupboard
it will be found a useful and welcome
addition and one which will help to
keep the shelves neat and tidy.
