Every Democrat in Orangeburg should register at once. *Mr. Taft went to Oyster Bay to indicate his Declaration of Depen dence on Teddy. Every Democrat should help the good work along by contributing tp the Democratic campaign fund. ' How much will Mr, Rockefeller give to the Republican Campaign fund now he has no fine to pay? Under the Republican system of trust busting it seems probable the Standard Oil Trust will escape en tirely. _ The Repablican managers appear to have received inside information that railroad rates will not be raised until "after election." The registration books will be open until Sept. 1 only. All who have not registered by that time will not be allowed to vote. In an interview recently Taft paid a high tribute to Bryan and admit ted that the Republicans had a hard .fight on hand to defeat him. , The Paper Trust has cut wages 10 per cent, but the Trust is still protected by the tariff from cutting he price of i^s products. We have all heard of the "hand writing on the Wall" but it is the handwriting on the cheques that publicity is demanded for. Mr. John Claflin president of the H. B. Claflin Dry Goods Compa ny, favors higher railroad rates, but then John does not pay the freight. If Mr. Taft is elected President we must all pray he will live long and prosper for it makes patriots shiver to think of Jim Sherman be ing president. President Roosevelt does not ap pear to uphold the decision of the Circuit Court in the Standard Oil case, but regards it as a miscarriage of justice. But then he is only bluf fing. The trusts understand him. Taft isitrying to make peace with organized and unorganized labor, but he finds his decisions when a United States Judge a :rreat hindrance. Be sides he is rnunning on a platfor m that failed to recognize this class of voters in any way, All the leading Republican offi cials are away from Washington at tending to politics or taking long holidays. Only Secretary of War Wright temains to sit on the lid and he is a Democrat, who has accepted a Republican retainer, and will h erefore, 6ear watchi ng. The Columbia Record says: "Sen ator Bacon, of Georgia, is now on the briny deep on his way to Eu rope. It looks a little queer that so many old-time Democratic leaders should be going abroad just at this time." Waen Bryan is elected these shirkers will be the first fellows to reach the pie counter. The Augusta Herald says: "If members of the legislature are to be arrested for playing a game of poker, to relax their minds after a day's arduous law making, it will soon be a hard matter to get fel lows to serve." It would be better for Georgia to have no legislature than to have one composed of gam blers. The Columbia State calls atten tion to the fact that within two hours after it was announced in Guthrie, Oklahoma, that Governor Haskell had been made treasurer of the Democratic camgaign commit tee, sixty-two citizens of that town, which. The .State says is about the size'of Spartanburg, contributed $2, 780, or an average of about $45 for each contributor. Every Democrat Should Register. It does not eeem to be generally understood that an entirely new* registration of everyone eligible to the suffrage is requisite this year under the law of the State, and that no man who does not take out a new certificate before the fourth of Sep tember may cast his ballot at the general election to be held on Nov ember 3, next, when an election will be held for national, State and coun ty offices. The new registration is required under the suffrage section of the constitution of 1895, which provides that there shall be an enrolment of every elector once in ten years, 1898 being fixed as the first year of gen eral registration. The ten-year registration period is at hand, there fore, and every man must take out a new certificate or lose his right of suffrage. The registration must be made in person, and, in order that everybody applying may be accomo dated. the board of registration for Orangeburg County is in session eve ry day in the courthouse. The Char leston Post says it is the duty of every w?te citizen of this State to enroll himself as a voter, if he is eligible to the suffrage. Neglect to qualify as a voter is a serious dereliction of citizenship,- and no thoughtful man, who recognizes his obligations to so ciety, will fail to fit himself for the important function which he is priv ileged to exercise in the scheme of our free government. There are not a few citizens who argue lignt ' ly that it is unnecessary to qualify as a voter at the general election, since there is no need to vote in South Carolina, where the white man's candidates are assured of election anyway. That may be very well for a while but there is -no telling when the time may come in which it will be necessary for every white man to cast his ballot, and those who have so long neglected their duty may find themselves so habituated to in difference that they will be found wanting at the caitical moment. The habit of vo* ing is one that should be cultivated, however small the ne cessity for its indulgence may be. The abstention from voting which is so prevalent in this State is the cause of considerable embarrass ment to Democratic Congressmen whose seats are, from time to time, contested by conscienceless negroes supported by unscrupulous white men. In such contests the small vote cast at the general election is always cited against the duly elected Con gressman, and the same poor show ing of ballots is made an argumenl for reduction of representation fron the South by the Crumpackera and theKeifers. If all the Democrats who participate in the primary* and there! take oath to support the nomi nee of that tribuual, would vote at the general election, the enemies of the South would be robbed of their favorite statistics. There is a good deal of talk this year about the Republicans making a special effort to poll a heavy vote in the Southern States, not so much with the hope of carrying any States of this section, as for the moral ef , feet the showing will have upon the country in indicating a divided sen timent of the South toward Democ racy. There is no danger of the Republicans carrying South Carolina for their national ticket, but every Democrat should do his part to de feat their scheme by casting a vote at the general election this year. And that Can not Ue done unle'&j- a registration certificate is held, and the only way that can be obtained is by calling at the registration office and enrolling. And that must be done within the next few weeks. Every Democrat Should Help. The ''American" workingman has had his eyes opened. He now sees that protectionism and other Repub lican policies are not panic proof. He is still suffering from the high prices of all he buys that his lords and masters the Trusts and Corporation can extort by virtue of the monopo ly the tariff policy of the Republican party gives them. He dreads the certain reduction of wages "after election," if the Trusts and Corpo rations achieve another lease of power through Republican success. The greatest fear of the Ameri can workingman is that if the Re publicans are successful he can no longer appeal to force of arms---the strike, the boycott?and without these he is helpless to protect him self and therefore the modification the right of a Court of Equity to is sue injunctions is the paramount is sue of the campaign. How can the "American" work ingman, therefore resist the oppor tunity to defeat his enemies and^re store his lost opportunities? From present appearances at least two third? of organized Labor will vote the Democratic ticket. The great problem of the Demo crrtic leaders will be to prevent the coertion of the workingmen who are not "Americans," yet who are such a large percentage of the voters in X t l.t'J JL ,1 ill M!tK7 lill every doubtful State. That requires a compact organization and cam paign funds to make such possible. Mr, Brysn has appealed to every Democratic newspapers to open a subscription list for campaign funds and if the editors will lay hofw their'readert the necessity of giving what they can afford there it no doubt thtJt all legitimate expenses will be met. The legitimate ex penses of a presidential campaign are enormous?the Republican managers estimate it at $3,000,000 but they are naturally extravagant. If half that sum is donated by Dem ocratic patriots, the issue will not be in doubt from lack of campaign I funds. Republican Extravagance. The United States Treasury is paying out nearly one million a day more than it is receiving, that is the deficit for the first 17 days of July was $16,157,618. The last session of Congress appropriated the enor mous sum of $1,008,397,543.56 for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1908, and the sesssion of Congress beginning next December may be expected to appropriate as much for the fiscal year beginning July 1. 1909. That would give our present Republican Congress the unique record of being a two billion dollar Congress. Every dollar the govern ment expends is paid in some way ! by the people, and voters should re [ member that this y%ar they will pay $12 in taxes for each member oi their families?a total tax of about $60 for each average family of five persona. ; During the last four years of Re publicn extravagance there has been appropriated $3,428,000,000 or $33, 900,000 more than the vast expendi tures during four years of civil war, so that during that period each head of a family has paid hi national taxes over $200 and what has he got 1 for iL? Under Republican policies the tax paid bv tne poor man is as great 1 as the tax paid by the rich man. In lact, in some cases the tax oaid bv ilie poor, man is greater. For instance, when Mr. Rockefeller or any ou er rich man buys flannel 1 for unairwear valued above 70 ' cents per pound, he pays a tariff tax ot 86.39 per cent, but when a 1 pour man b iys a eheaper grade ol ' flannel foi his underwear, valued at ' not more than 40 cents per pound, ! he pays a tariff tax of 143.67 per cent. Thete fignres are the actua. ' duties paid on "flannel for under 1 wear" as officially reported by the Government for the year 1907. At the present Congress refuted to con * sider any revision .of this unequal 1 tax, or the many other like cas? s ' which the present tariff law imposes ! the high rate of tariff taxes on f lan ' nels and everything else that is in eluded in the tariff law still contin ; ues. Yet many bnsiness men. farmers, and those who have to rely upon wages still vote the Republican 1 ticket, which is virtually to endorse the Republican policy of taxing ! those with small incomes more than those with large incomes. i Surely it is time for Retrench ment or reform, and experience Shows that neither can be expected from Republican politicions. Only a Fako. That eminent wall Street banker. Mr. Sheldon, who by the grace of candidate Taft was made treasurer of the Republican National Commit tee it is said to b? haviner err'-at Suc re - in rai-in. camp >\: ? i? ?o \\<-. 11 is Uiidcr?iuuj Cliai Mi*. S:i?.luou Uoeo not stir from his office at No. 2 Wall Street, but just sends word to the Trust and Corporation managers that they are expected to call or send their check for a "reasonable amount," These contributions are for what Mr. Sheldon calls the "le gitimate campaign fund of $3,000, 000." Whether Mr. Harriman is to undertake the collection of the "boodle fund" as he did in 1904, at the request of President Roosevelt, is yet uncertain, but probably some one residing outside of the State of New York will be selected to collect this extra campaign fund, so that the publicity law of that State will not apply. Since candidate Taft has been driven to the necessity of declaring that no contributions from Trusts will be accepted, there is a great desire to know whether Mr. Sheldon will return those contribu tions from the Trusts he has already received. There is an evident feel ing abroad that all this fuss about Publicity after election and the re fusal of Trust contributions is a Re publican fake. It's astonishing how quickly pos session will decrease the Yalue of most things. Many a rich man has barely missed landing in jail. It's always safe to ask a &irl for a kiss after you have taken it. Marrying a girl with money is the i surest get-rich-quick scheme. Don't overstep yourself in an at Itenipt to put your best foot forward. Is Peruna Useful for Catarrh? Should a list of the ingredients of Pe runa he submitted to any medical ex pert, of whatever school or nationality, he would be obliged to admit without reserve ihat each cue of them was cf undoubted value in chronic oatarrhal diseases and had stood the test of many years' experience in the treatment of such diseases. THERE CAN BE NO DISPUTE ABOUT THIS WHAT-. EVER, Peruna is composed oi the most efficacious and universally used herbal remedies for catarrh. Every ingred ient of Peruna has a reputation of its own in the cure of some phafle of catarrh. Peruna brings to the home the COM BINED KNOWLEDGE OF SEVERAL SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE in the treat ment of catarrhal diseases; brings to the home the scientific skill and knowl edge of the modern pharmacist; and last butnot least,brings to the home the vast and varied experience of Dr. Hart man, in the use of catarrh remedies, and in the treatment of catarrhal diseases. The fact is, chronic catarrh is a dis ease which is very prevalent. Many thousand people know they have chronic catarrh. They have visited doctors over and over again, and been told that their case is one of chronic catarrh. It may be, df the nose, throat, lungs, stomach or some other internal organ. There is no doubt as to the na ture of the disease. The only trouble is the remedy. This doctor has tried to cure them. That doctor has tried to prescribe for them. BUT . THEY -ALL FAILED TO BEING ANY RELIEF. Dr. Hartman's idea is that a cntarrh remedy can be made on a large scale, as he is making it; that it can be made honestly, of the purest drugs and oi the strictest uniformity. His idea is that this remedy can be supplied di rectly to the people, and no more b? charged for it than is necessary for the handling of it No other household remedy so uni versally advertised carries upon the label the principal active constituents showing that Peruna invites the fuU inspection of the critics. , For Rent.
