If Hearst is a renegade, what is Little John Temple Graves? The Columbia State calls Hearst a renegade. That fits him very nicely, indeed. Hearst and two ur three of his satelites are to exhibit themselves in Georgia as political curios. The fates have,decreed that the Hon. John Gary Evans shall not rea lize the ambition of his life. The defeat of Evans has put the s'mile on the News and Courier and Tne State that refuses to come off. Smith was elected bythe farmers. Had the vote been confined to the towns and cities Evans would have won. Hon. Edward M. Sheppard has disgusted the Republicans in New York by declaring for Bryan in a speech.. John Gary Evans carried only two counties in the recent primary. Spar tan burg and Union alone voted for him. The Chicago Inter-Ocean thinks that "the Democratic party is show ing a cohesive tendency that is dis quieting." So as to keep in the limelight Roosevelt had a report sent out that some one tried to shoot him a few. days ago. The result of the primary on Tuesday has eliminated some here tofore well-known politicians from the political arena of South Caro lina. The Galveston News thinks that "Another thing needed in this country is juries that will put the man behind the gun behind the bars." The marked tickets sent out by the Evans managers lost him a few votes, but they were not the cause of his defeat. He never did have any chance of election. The Times and Democrat broke all previous records in publishing the election returns this week. In less than twenty hours after the polls closed our readers knew who was elected in both County and State. The Times and Democrat bows to the will of the people as expressed at the ballot box in the recent pri mary. With one or two exet p ^ions we think they selected the best men for the various offices to be filled. The Hon. E. D. Smith has been commissioned by the people of South Carolina to break up the fraudulent speculation in cotton in the New York and other exchanges of the country,, and we believe, if any man can, he will. It is believed by many that Sena tor Tillman wiil be opposed four years from now by Lyon, the pre sent Attorney General. If Lyon wants to get the worst political thrashing a man has gotten in years he will be accomodated if he tackles Tillman. The defeat of Hon. Stiles R. Mel lichamp for State Superintendant of Education is deeply regretted by the Democrats of Orangeburg County. We have nothing to say against the gentleman who has been nominated, but we thinK our candidate should have been nominated. In his hour of defeat the Hon. Stiles R. Mellichamp has the satis faction of knowing that he received an almost unanimous endorsement by the people who know him best. Had he been known all over South Curolina as he is in Orangeburg County, he would have been elected almost unanimously to the office he sought. 1 Governor An-el's Successor. There is already much speculation as to who will succeed Gov. Ansel wh3n he serves out his second term. Mr. Blease, who must be hard to convince, has given notice -that he will be in the race once more in 1910 but he will be badly defeated, as he will never again go up against as week a candidate as Gov. Ansel. This unpopularity of Gov. Ansel caused many to fear that Mr. Blease would beat him but their fears proved to be groundless. Another gentlemen that is being talked about in some quarters,as a a successor to Gov. Ansel is Mr. C. C. Featherstone. He entered the racer this year against Ansel but withdrew upon the promise from Gov. Ansel that he would advocate on the stump and recommend to the Legisature Mr. Featherstone's plan for handling the liquor question. Mr. Featherstone is a clear man and would make a strong candidate. Mr. Richard I Manning, who was defeated by Gov. Ansel in 1906, is also often spoken of as a candidate for Governor in 1910. Mr. Manning is a most excellent gentlemen and a successful business man. Lake many other good men in the State Mr. Manning believed that the State Pispensary was the best solution of the whiskey question. He would have won out on this issue had it not been for the corruprion disclosed in its management. He would be a formidable candidate should he en ter the race. Itis^said that Attorney-General Lyon would like to succeed Gov. Ansel, and should he fulfill his prom ise to "put stripes on the dispensary grafters" he would be a hard man to beat. It is also believed by many that this ambitious young man is anxious to figure in, history as the man who retired Senator Tillman to private life by defeating him in he race for Senator in 1912 Should e attempt this Lyon's politi cal career in South Carolina would be brought to a close. Then there is Lieut-Gov. McLeod, Col. W. W. Lumkin and Captain John G. Richards, all good men, who will be in plain view when the gubernatorial lightening begins to flash in 1910. Any of these gentle men would be acc ptable successors to Gov. Ansel, Many others are to be tried out in the bushes, and the events of the next two years may bring out some horses that are now dark and eliminate others that are now in the running, TBc JDcmocatic Text Book. The Democratic Campaign Text Book for the present year which has just been issued, arraigns the Re publican party for its failure to give the country relief from the burdensome tariff law and other Re publican measures. It presents an array of facts and figures demon strating with mathematical precis ion the unfitness of the party in power'to conduct the affairs of the nation any longer. The Democratic and Republican platforms are compared, plank by plank, and the emptiness or insincer ity of Republican promises and pre tensions are mercilessly exposed. A party which has been in posses sion of all the machinery of the gov ernment for so many years simply indicts itself when it calls attention to grave abuses which are known to exist and yet have not been correct ed. President Roosevelt has point ed out these abuses in many in stances, and whatever may be his own personal anxiety to secure the correction of them, the fact remains that the party as a whole cannot be willing to do so, otherwise it would be done. The signs of encouragement are pointed out by showing how the sen timent of the people has been run ning already. As the Text Book puts it, Senator Fulton, of Oregon, asked the people for re-election and they answered, "We want a change." Senator H??nsborough went to North Carolina and asked for re election, and the people said, "We want a change." Senator Kittredge heard from the state of North Dakota, and they, said. "We want a change" Senator Long1 referred his case to the people of Kansas, and they said, "We want a change." Senator Hopkins went before the people of Illinois, and two-thirds of them said, "We want a change." The same sentiment is sweeping the country everywhere. It is impossible to give in any brief compass the contents pi this admiral handbook but it should be in the hands of every good Demo crat. It is a volume of three hun dred pages, bound in limp cloth and can be secured for twenty-five cents by addressing, "Text Book Depart ment, Democratic National Commit tee, Auditorium Annex, Chicago, 111." As the campaign progresses you will need it more than ever, and a more abundant treasure of Demo cratic argument and good doctrine has never been sent out between! two covers. \ Managed by Trust Magnates. It is only necessary to consider the personel of the finance and ex ecutive committees with which Mr. Taft has surrounded himself in the present campaign to verify Mr. Bry an's charge that the Republican party is still in the hands of the Trust Magnates who will be allowed to continue to plunder the people should Taft be elected. Among the men serving on both committees are Wm. Nelson Cromwell, the personal and legal representative of E. H. Harriman and probably the most ? conspicuos trust lawyer in the coun try; Geo. Rumsey Sheldon, a Wall 1 street magnate and multi-million aire; Federick W. Upham, of Chica go, a millionaire many times over; ! Charles F. Brooker, of Connecticut, 1 broker and vice president of the N Y. N. H. and H. railroad; Frank 0. Lowden, son-in-law of Geo. Pullman and vice president of the Pullman Car Company; T. C. DuPont, mem ; ber of the DuPont Powder compa 1 ny, against which a suit for {its dis solution is now pending in the fed eral courts for the way in which it milked the United States treasury in powder contracts, and Bois Pen rose, the political heir of Boss Quay in Pennsly vania and the chief ma nipulator of Philadelphia's corrupt political machine. Any one who be lieves that these men would favor a revision of the tariff or any other measure that would benefit the masses must be simple minded. Robbing the People. The Portland Oregonian says "as an essay on the tariff Mr, Bryan's Des Moines speeeh ts admirab'e. All that he says, about the iniquity of Dingleyism is true. It does cor rupt the government ty S2tling up a business partnership with the pro tected interests. It puts the public offices up for sale and causes party success to depend toj much upon contributions from those, who devour the substance of"1 he people. Nor can it be denied that the tariff has also corrupted busi ness. It has*, taught the protected interests to look to the government for their profits insteud of to their own initiative. It has given them an opportunity to combine for the explicit object of raising prices and robbing the consumer. It has placed them in the position of the tax far mers in France before the Revolu tion, who kept two-thirds of the taxes they collected and handed over to the stste only one third. For Mr. Brpan is undeniably correct in say ing that the barons get a large part of the proceeds of the tariff tax which is levied upon certain articles. If nine tenths of a protected article are produced at home and only one tenth imported, then that one tenth pays the tax to the government while the other nine-tenths pay it to the interests." .Secret Price Fixed. The National Farmers Union in its recent annual meeting at Fort Worth, Texas, fixed a price at which its members will sell their cotton. What this price is no one knows but the members of a Union. The At lanta-Georgian says "the determina tion of the Union to keep the mini mum price agreed on for cotton se cret is a very wise movement. It leaves the enemies of the organiza tion in the air. It disarms them for ! fighting the Union, and gives into the hands of the actual produces a very powerful and effective wea?on. Wall Street must realize that here is a new and potent force to meet. That it is no chaotic, haphazard body that works without plan or definite purpose. The Union has shown that it has men of brains directing its destiny, and that it is perfectly able to care for itself against the mighty and hitherto scornful captains of fi nance. The Farmers' Union has made the farmer of America master on his own affairs. It has placed him in an attitude of independence and and freedom that he has never known before. Better Prices Coming. We believe that cotton will ad vance in price in a short time. The damage reports of the crop from all parts of the cotton belt indicate that the crop of 1908 cannot possibly reach figures wnich the trade is gen erally expecting. The probability of only a normal supply of raw cot ton this season to meet the world's demand for the next twelve months; and fill the already depicted gaps in exhausted supplies, should not only tend to encourage farmers to stand for good prices, but should advance the price of cotton even in the face of "Bearish" manipulation. The effort of foreign spinners, backed by speculation, to depress the price of cotton to 8 cents within the thir ty days, will fail. There is absolute ly nothing upon which to base a de mand for such low prices, except the selfish greed of those who might be personally benefitted under such a contingency. We look for cotton to advance in price in the next few I weeks. I The power of foes without depends cd the fears within. Passed Away. Early Friday morning, Aug. 28, just at the dawn of day, Mr. C. A. Jeffcoat passed quietly away. . The deceased had been afflicted with heart trouble for nearly a year.though not confined to his bed. He was cheer ful even to the last night. He awoke just before day, was up with his lit tle grandson, spoke to his wife and laid down again for an early morn ing rest. Without warning death came to him and he passed to his eternal rest at 5:30.. Mr. Jeffcoat was a gallant soldier in the Confederate army, serving in Col. Keitt's 20th Regiment, Company D, S. C. Volunteers under Capt. R. V. Dannerly until the surrender. He was most kind and affectionate as a husband, and as a father was lov ing and gentle, he leaves a wife, two sons, and two daughters to .mourn the loss of a .companion and sympa thetic counselor. Besides a large number of relatives, there is a great] circle of friends, in this state and in Tennessee, who are made sad by his death. He bad the happy faculty of endearing himself to all he met and thus he made many friends. In young manhood he joined the M. E. Church and to his death re mained a faithful member. Mr. Jeffcoat was a God-fearing man and had unusual reverence for the Lord. Being a man of happy temporment he was ever ready to speak a word of cheer to the despondent and to lend a helping hand to the needy. He was a man of many hardships but bore them with humble submis sion and faith In God. During his last year he was much in prayer that he might be ready to answer his Master's summons; and during the year he said more than once that he had made peace with God and was ready to go whenever the Lord saw fit to take him. He had his faults* and he had his virtues but he en deavored to live an earnest Chris tian life. It was his prayer that he might be taken away without long suffering and his prayer was answer ed. To him his death was not un expected as he told his son-in-law the evening before his death he would not be with them much longer. The funeral services were conducted uy Rev. W. W. Willian and Pastor Gra ham. Interment was' in Hebron Cemetery, not far from Livingston. To our beloved father, here, we said'"Goodnight;" to his loved ones on the other shore with outstretched arms to receive him, it was "Good morning." "Father, thou art gone, but not forgotten! thou canst not come to us but we can go to thee."" Glcry be to God for the hope the glorious hope, of meeting our loved ones within the Golden City. Where parting wili be no more. We tender our heart-felt thanks to all those who so kindly assisted the bereaved family. D. J. F. 9-4-08.

The results being remark able, I can highly recommend it to all who are suffering with tho above dis eases. I am happy to bo able to say it has helped me wonderfully." What is known as hay fever is in reality endemic catarrh, a catarrhal condition of the nose, throat, some times tho bronchial tubes, induced by some local irritant. Tho irritation is generally duo to vege? tal emanations of some sort. Hay has been suspected as being the cause of this malady, henco its name, hay fever. It has been attributed to rag weed and other vegetation also. It is a very capricious disease, coming and going, A medicine that will help one case may not help another. Such treatment has always been very uncertain and unsat isfactory.
