Every farmer in Orangeburg and adjoining counties should attend the Farmers Institute to be held in Orangeburg Friday. So far as we are concerned we are perfectly willing to trust Mr. Bryan to do the square thing to the South if he is elected. The election of Mr. Bryan would mean a great deal to the South- as well as the whole country. It would | be the means of putting in the ser vice of the Government many of the South's best men. ????????? - ^ We do not believe every silly yarn the news agencies send out about Mr. Bryan. These agencies are all run in the interest of the Re publican party and do all they can to injure the Democratic candidate! We innocent folks down here know nothing of political rings and we are horribly shocked at the charge that is made by a distinguish ed gentleman of Calhoun County that such an awful thing exists up there. Capers who helped corrupt the Republican convention for Taft by voting to admit nothing but Taft delegates has been given his reward^ He has been sent on a three months junketing trip to Europe at the Government's expense. It is nothing but right and prop er for Taft to try to please his po litical creator by letting him dic tate his letter of acceptance. Roose velt gave Taft the: nomination, and surely he should be allowed to have a say in the first manifesto his man Friday writes. The Hon. Geo. W. Fairey ought to take - his -medicine with better grace. He went into the Calhoun county scheme wifofris eyes wide open, and the fact tfmt he can't go to the Legislature is not conclusive proof that there is a "ring" in the new county? Since talking to a number of peo ple who are posted on the politics of " this county we believe that John Gary Evans will lead, with E. D. Smith second and Mayor Rhett third. It is claimed his -friends that if Evan? runs as well in the ^ther counties as he will in Orange burg County he will- go in on the first ballot. The Hon. Geo. ^VV.Fairey, of Cal- j houn County says he "fully intend ed to make the race for the House or Senate until it got ringy and 1 was done dirt, then I came to the conclu sion that I would stay on the outside and fight ringism to the last ditch." Fighting so-called politcal rings may be a harmless amusement, but it is I about &s profitable as fighting wind mills. It is said a great many people who voted for Calhoun County are much disatisfied and are talking of getting up an election to try and vote themselves back in Orangeburg County. There are a great many most excellent people in Calhoun County who we would most gladly welcome back to Orangeburg, but they could hardly get a two-thirds vote for the proposition. A very distinguished gentleman of Calhoun County, who was red hot to cut off from Orangeburg be cause he said a ring existed in old Orangeburg, refuses to enter thej race for the Legislature in Calhoun County because of too much ringism in the baby county. Hon. Geo. W. Fairey is the gentleman who makes this serious charge against Calhoun County before it gets out its swadj dling clothes. We tried to impress upon this gentleman before the Cal houn County election came oft that all of its advocates were not angels, but instead of thanking us for the information he got mad at d stopped Mis paper. The Money Power Vs. the People. The fight this year will be waged between the Money Power and the People, and there .is no, use in dis guising the fad that the Money Power, represented by the Republi can party, will try io buy 'hv edi tion. The Republican campaign f und j will be enormous, and will be divid- j ed between that for the legitimate expenses of the campaign, the items of which Mr. Taft declares will be published "after election" and another secret campaign fund which win never see the light of day, but will be distributed to the Republi can machines of the doubtful States and thence for the corruption of venal voters; . ' All the tariff protected interests and all the Wall Street financiers,! and the malefactors of great wealth will be forced to contribute to the Republican campaign fund. The record of their evasion of the laws of the land have been carefully in vestigated by special agents of the Republican Administration; and the evidence that would convict them is in the archives of the Interstate Commerce Commission, or the De partment of Commerce and Labor. The Chairman- or Treasurer of the Republican National Commit tee will have the list and know just how much to assess each malefactor. I How much the magnates of the f Standard Oil. Trust will pay for im j munity and for escape from large fines hanging over their heads will never be known to the public, but that the amount will reach into the millions does not need evidence to prove it, or that it will be paid when called for. But a small.part of the amount so contributed will reach the Treasurer of the Republican National Committee; only enough to meet the legitimate expenses, which he estimates at $3,000,000. The much greater amount will, by un" der ground channels that can easily be surmised, reach the Republican workers and corruptionists. There is one advantage of the Democratic campaign that will bother the Republicans and that is the large number of States that will be fought for as doubtful and will, therefore, require aid from their secret campaign fund source. It is quite possible that enormous as this corruption fund will be, it may fall short of satisfying the harpies that lay in wait for it, when it has to be divided into so many portions. The panic and continued depression has made even the Wall Street interests short of ready cash, and it will need all the promises of future favors that the Republican managers dare offer to make some feel they can disgorge. The democrats have no such trou bles about campaign funds. They have no "protected interests" to draw upon, nor do they expect to raise a large sum. It is probable that one hundred dollars will go as far as one thousand does with the Republicans. Still the Democratic Committee will need considerable money for printing and speakers and the hundred and one legitimate ex penses that a national campaign en tails. The Democratic Committee on the advice of Mr. Bryan has declared it will receive no contributions from corporations and has limited the amount that will be received from any individual to $10,000 and that it will make publication before the election of all contributions before October 15, and contributions re ceived after that date will be pub lished upon the day they are receiv ed. That kind of Publicity would seem to be carrying out in spirit and in truth what the Democratic plat form demands and promises. Comes Out For Bryan. In an article written in perfect good temper and apparently conser vatively, the New York Realty Journal, which we take to be the or gan of the real estate interests of that city, declares itself strongly for Bryan. Apparently without passion or enthusiasm, it expresses the belief that the Democratic nom inee will be elected president this year by a majority of the popular vote and the electoral college as large as that by which he was de feated in 1896. The Realty Journal says it has supported Roosevelt, Hughes and McClellan, and has stood for good government regard less of politics. It believes, however, that the Re publican national convention was controlled by the special interests and that lacking the strong and ag. gressive personality and opposition of President Roosevelt to a Re publican administration, will be owned and controlled by those in terests. It contends that Bryan represents the Roosevelt policies and will be able to enforce them with the Democratic party behind them, whereas Mr. Taft in that direction would be helpless. The Realty Jour nal asserts that the Hearst move ment will amount to nothing. This is confirmed, in a measure, at least by recent reports in the New York daily newspapers showing that meetings of Hearst's Independence league, both in New York and Brooklyn, have declared for Bryan. The Richmond News-Leader, from which paper we take the above article, pays it "assumes that The Re?y? journal if in i-retty clo e Lunch wiLh' a mrge eiduent of sub stantial and conservative citizenship in'New York city. Evidently, it is thorougly-mugwump and indepen dent, and in our view, its expres sions may be taken to indicate the tendency of that vote in the city? the quiet, non-political vote which is not heard from until election day. Its utterance is more encouraging for Mr. Bryan than anything we have seen this year. Its opposition to Mr. Taft is based on what we have regarded all the time as the weak point in the Republican cam paign?a rotten, meaningless, dod gey, messy and puerile platform." Working' Men for Bryan. Interviews^ with labor leaders in all parts of the United States where labor is organized, we are indebted to the Philidelphia Record for this information, in dicate that the leaders believe a great majority of the vast army of working men will fall into line with Samuel Gompers in his determina tion to support Mr. Bryan for Pres ident. The News and Courier says ninety-eight per cent of the labor vote in Cincinnati, Mr. Taft's own home town, is counted upon for Mr. I Bryan, and the working men on the Pacific Slope will stand by the great [ Commoner in his present battle for the People. The President of the Iowa State Federation of Labor i be lieves that the labor vote will fol low Gompers for Bryan. The pres ident of the Indiana State Federa tion declares that, "Labor receives its instructions in matters of this kind from tne American Federation of Labor." The s?me condition of things, it is said, will exist in Ken tucky. Evvry one of the 40,000 members of the Federation in Bal timore, it is predicted by President Edward Hirsh, of the Baltimore Federation, will vote for Bryan. The word o. Gompers will control in Miesouri, and likewise in Minnesota and also in Utah. Charles Dickson of the Union Labor Council, in Los Angeles, Cal.. has boiled down the sentiment of the labor forces of the United States in this brief but ex pressive sentiment: "We are sick and tired of R-publican regimes and a full dinner pail of hot air." The Friend of the People is the friend of the working men, and his name is blazoned on the political sky in let ters of gold-^William Jennings Bry an. . A Ready Answer. The Commoner says in his address to the Republican national conven tion, Temporary Chairman Burrows referred to the Republican victory in 1904, and then asked: In view of this indorsement, it becomes perti nent and opportune to inquire, what has the Republican party done . iri the last four years of government control to forfeit public confidence or create distrust in its capacity for future administration?" For this question the Rochester (New York) Union and Advertiser finds a striking answer. This is the answer which the Union and Adver tiser takes out the mouth of Senator Burrow's own party: "In the broad effect of its policy it has precipitat ed panic, blighted industry and trade with prolonged depression, closed factories, rednced work and wages, nalted enterprise and crip pled American production. Every consideration of public safety and individual interest demands that the government shall be rescued from the hands of those who have shown themselves incapable of conducting it without disaster." (From the Republican platform of 1896.) I They Are Scared. The American Farmer says: "The brewers and distillers, hard pressed by the temperance wave, are endeavoring to stem the tide. In page advertisements in the daily papers they are telling us what ruin would overtake us if no more malt or sourmash were made. An espec ial drive is being made at the far mers with the old argument that if the distilleries and breweries should be forced to close there would be a greatly reduced market for corn, rye and barley. There was a time when this argument had great in fluence with farmers, but they have learned better. There is plenty of market for all the grain raised without using it to debauch and craze the people. Moreover, the cattle fattened on slops at distiller ies cone into competition with those matured on the farm.-, to the great loss of legitimate stock-raising. The truth is, that the ^hirikcy traffic hasn't a single excuse Xpr being and will have to go. The oeovie h&v2 decreed its execution and long be fore the end of ' his century there will not be a salu^n in any stat< of the Union." Some men run into debt but don't every try to crawl out.
