THE News and Courier says "Some of these days, if he don't watch out, John Temple Graves will oe kidnapped by a cock-sparrow." ROOSEVELT's dodging and blus ter finally gave way to the coal logic and facts of Bryan, and Teddy beat a most disgraceful retreat to c^ver. "EX-SENATOR McLaurin, of South Carolina, seems to be another Statesman grown rusty in his rec ollection department," Is the way the Galveston News puts it. GOVERNOR Haskel refers to to President Roosevelt as an infa mous liar, and so it goes. But the worse of It is that Haskell's charge against Roosevelt Is susceptible of proof. EX-SENATOR McLaurin brazenly admits that he sought Standard Oil help to "reform'- South Carolina politics. But Senator Tillman un masked the gentleman and his lit tle scheme went to pieces . WHEN Mr. Taft visited Lincoln, Neb., last Wednesday Mr. Bryan re quested the Democrats to remove lithographs of himself that. they might have displayed. That is th: way for one gentleman to trea' another. ? A WHITE man who was shot and killed near Greenville is reported to have killed four men in his time and was in good condition to kill another when he was killed. This is an awful record, and one that does our State great harm. THE interesting question bf how Roosevelt happened to come sb quickly into possession of Tail's private letters is solved by the Augusta Chronicle when tt say "That aTft is Ajeeh, the Chess automaton, and Roosevelt is the player." AT the opening of the present ?campaign McLaurin announced him self as being opposed to Mr. Bryan and an enthusiastic admirer of Mr. Roosevelt. So when Hearst exposed McLaurin he hit another of Mr. Roosevelt's lame ducks. BRYAN'S last letter to Roosevelt was a scorcher. It pointed out the subterfuges of the Artful Dodger of the White House so plainly that he could no longer dodge, and so he says he won't answer it because it is too personal. Teddy has met his match and seeks cover. PRESIDENT DAY, of Syracuse, N. Y., in commenting on President Roosevelt's political activit/ in the Campaign says: "Never has this country known such a condition po litically. Never has It seen its pres ident descend to such a shameful degeneracy of demagogy." THE State says tho New York Sun, which Is a Taft organ, scores the point against Mr. Taft's guardian and spokesman that, while Foraker returned the $50.000 sent him by Archbald, Mr. Roosevelt has not yet returned the $26u,000 corruption fund sent him by Harriman. THE Republicans have nominated a candidate against Lever in thii congressional district, and we want to impress upon every Democrat In the district the necessity of his vot ing in the general election. Should the Republicans have only a small majority they would not hesitate to unseat some Democratic members Let us give Lever such a vote that they wia have no excuse to turn him out. THE Atlanta Journal thinks it is still possible to further degrade his high office and offers the sug gestion that a prize fight in La Fayette Park might serve that pur pose. The Augusta Chronicle says Teddy is far more able to think out indignities to his office than anyone olse. Besides, in comparison with the meaus to wnich he has already descend, the Journal's notion ap pears like an honorable and manly sport. A polished gentleman like Mr. Bryan, who is not only parliamentary in his language, but absolutely truth ful in his statements, is somewhat at a disadvantage in a controversy with a vulgar fellow like Roosevi h. who rather delights in the use of coarse invective, and who will un hesitatingly take unwarranted lib erties with the truth to shield him self, or score a political point on an adversary . We hate to 6ay this about the President, but the facts ?warrant it. Some Dirty Wot I. It new turns out that the fa mous Cleveland letter advocating Taft and repudiating Bryan was a fake gotten up for the benefit df the Republican campaign commit itee by a scamp by the name of Broughton Brandenburg, a writer of magazine articles. It was a clever swindle and was aided and abetted by the New York Times, when that paper bought the letter from Bran denburg and published it. Although Brandenburg claimed to have had the letter in his possession since a day or two before March 15th, it wa? not until August 21st, eight weeks after Mr. Cleveland's death that he made the proposition to Mr. F. S. Hastings, executor of the Cleveland estate, embodied in the following letter: My Dear Mr. Hastings: I beg to make you the following of fer for the one complete article of the series which I had under way -with Mr. Cleveland prior to his sickness and death. Sub sequent to sale and payment for this article I will pay the estate $500 out of a sales price of $650, and of all sums of money derived from this supplemen tary sale of the publication rights of the article and the sale of the original manuscript itself I will pay 40 per cent .- Yours truly, Broughton Brandenburg. Apparently ignorant of the na ture of the articles referred to ami apparently sweetly unsuspicious of fraud, the executor responded brieflly: On behalf of the estate of the late Grover Cleveland and with the knowledge and consent of Mrs. Frances Cleveland I here by accept the foregoing. F. S. Hastings. Executor of the estate of Grover Cleveland. Brandenburg then sold the article to the New York Times, which paper supports Taft. The Times, before publishing the letter, received a tel egram from Mrs. Cleveland .express ing doubt as to its authenticity, but this was followed by a letter from Hastings ? saying Mrs. Cleveland's doubts had been removed by him. The letter was then put before the 'public in The Times, and the Re publican National Committee lost no time in flooding the country with >t in pamphlet form. It was a sweet morsel and the Republicans made a great to do over it. As the Augusta Chronicle -says "It was the strongest blow dealt the Democratic nominee and cut keenly to the heart of loyai Demo crats. . Coming from Grover Cleve land, it was a powerful weapon against his party and a cruel one. So studiously was Mr. Cleveland's style and mannerisms reproduced, that the forgery convinced the most reluctant and silenced many of the earnest Bryan supporters. The Courier-Journal, however, marshalled a line of argument and spoke with fearless conviction of it as a shame less fraud and canard of the Re publicans." And so it turned, ou-', as the following letter proves: I 80 Broadway, Sept. 25, 1908. To the Editor of The New York Times: Sir: Since our interview of Sept. 22, which was followed on Sept. 23 by the publication in The Times of a statement then made by me relative to the article attributed to the author ship of the late Grover Cleve land which was published in The Times on Aug. 30, I now desire to say that there has since come to my knowledge "evi dence" which leaves in my mind no doubt of the fact that the said article was not written nor signed by Grover Cleveland, and therefore is, in my opinion, no longer entitled to credit as his production. Mrs. Cleveland, in my judg ment, was right in regarding it, when she positively declared to us since its publication, "I do not believe it is genuine." I therefore hasten to inform you of my conclusion regarding the article and beg to express the hope and belief that you will 1 promptly give to this communi cation the same degree of prom inence in The Times that was given to the statement made by raq in your issue of Sept. 23. Yours respectfully, F. S. Hastings. Since being forced to publish this letter, The Times has abandoned any further effort to give a semblance of realty to the fraud, which was undoubtedly worked up by the Re publican 'campaign managers. As the Augusta Chronicle well says "The entire matter is a miserab.'C and disgraceful exposure of the in decent, and low measures to which political partisanships can lead an erstwhile respectable journal. The fraud can have but one effect?that of strengthening the Democratic cause. It's perpetrator, or perpetra tors, should be made to suffer the legal penalty and social disgrace which naB been so richly earned." Entirely Too Particular. In putting out a Republican elec toral ticket in this State Capers, who seems to be pretty much the whole push in South Carolina Republican ism, says "For many years business men had announced that they would vote the Republican national ticket but for fear of local negro domina tion. We now give these business men an opportunity to vote for Taft and Sherman without the remotest fear of negro domination in any form. In fact, there has not been, nor is there apt to be a Republican nominated for office in this State national. Stale or county?as the Republicans will content themselves under the peculiar existing con ditions, with an appeal to business men of the State to vote the national Republican ticket." The ticket put out by Capers has only two negroes on it .and they are of the very much mixed variety. Even these so-called negroes would not have been allowed on the ticket but for the fact that the negroes in the Western and Eastern States are in a state of rebellion anu threaten to bolt the Republican ticket and vote for Bryan and Kern. This being the case, two colored men are tolerated on the electoral ticket out of nine, but the business men are assured by Capers that no negro shail be nominated for office in South Carolina. This is the inducement held out to the white business men of the State to vote for Taft and Sherman. So, according to Capers, the negros who furnish nlnety-nino per cent, of the Republican vote in South Carolina, and by virtue o* which that gentleman holds a good fat office, no negro must aspire to office in this State. In other words, he is willing to throw all the ne groes over board if he can get a few white business men to vote for Taft and Sherman. Capers goes on to say that a prom inent merchant, of Columbia pre sumably, had advised him the morn ing he as talking that he would vote the ticket, except that he would strike off the last two names, Baxter and Grant, who are the only colbre 1 men on the ticket. Capers yoes on to say that "He advised his friend that he could not regulate that, as it was a matter of his own choice, but that it seemed rather Inconsis tent in view of the fact that the Democrats had today on the roll in the paid employment of the Bryan Democratic committee three negra preachers and at least twenty-five negro preachers urging their people to vote the Democratic ticket for Bryan and Kern." We do not "know who this promi nent Columbia merchant is who Capers says will vote for the white electors but gags at the colored electors on the Republican ticket, but it seems to us he is inconsistent If he knows anything at all, this prominent merchant must know that if it was not for the negronc that there would be no Republican party existing today in South Caro lina, and no fat offices for men like Capers to hold. Then, why should he refuse to vote for the two negroes on his party's ticket? If he re fuses to mix with the negro politi cally he is not a good Republican, as the party teaches that politically the negro is as good as anybody. We fear this prominent Columbia merchant, who has given Capers so much encouragement, is entirely too particular to make a good Republi can. Loyal, Brave and True. The St. Matthews correspondent of The News and Courier says: Mr. J. E. Wannamaker, who has been loyal and brave in his co-operation with the Southern Cotton Association in its fight against Wall Street speculators, and who stood to his guns with the tenacity of Napoleon's Old Guard, has like Ney and Mc Donald and the chief himself at Waterloo!! been forced to sur render to the inevitable and sell some of his cotton. Though possessed of a splendid real estate, he is not a bloated bond holder, and held no fat job to give defiance to the howling wolf. As a matter of fact, he has spent of his substance in order to realize his beautiful dream of 15 cents cotton, but the tempt ing ignis facuus seemed eiEq ually receeding from view and there was nothing left for a man of large family and moderate income, but to stack his arms and aBk for an honor able truce. The editor of The Times and Dem ocrat takes great pleasure in en dorsing every word said in the above about Mr. John E. Wannamaker. If any cause ever had a loyal, brave and true defender in this world,, the Southern farmers certainly had such a champion in Mr. John E. Wannamaker. He gave his time, money and talent to their cause, and he has the proud satisfaction of knowing that it was through no act of his that the grand fight of the farmers for their rights his not been successful. If every county In the South had such an unselfish anJ intelligent man as Mr. Wannamaker to lead the farmers the result would not be doubtful, and the people of our beautiful Southland would soou come into their own. While all that Mr. Wannamaker labored for has no., been realized, still his noble work in the interest of his fellow man has not been in vain. We hope to rejoice with him yet in the full ac complishment of his nbble work in behalf of the farmers in partieular and the people in general of our beloved Southland. Foraker Bent, on Revenge. Tho New York World say? "Foraker is out to defeat Mr. Taft, and is going to bend all his political energies toward that end. Anxious as he may be to lift himself up, is no less anxious to pull Mr. Taft down. As the campaign progresses and Senator Foraker perceives how hopeless is the task of rehabilitat ing himself it is obvious that he will work the more desperately to defeat the Republican candidate for Presi dent. Whether he can accomplish his purpose depends on the amount of influence that is left to Mr. Foraker since the exposure of his relations with the Standard Oil Company. But one thing is certain. In all his political career Mr. Roosevelt has never had to deal with so able an ! desperate an enemy as the one who now confronts him in Mr. Taft's own state. It is war to the death." No one can blame Fenator Porake8' for wishing the defeat of R-^osevit ami Taft. Should they win, For aker's political race is run, as they would defeat him for re-election to the Senate. But should Bryan win, Foraker might again win over the political enrpses "of Roosevel' and Taft. So we are not surnrise-1 to hear that Foraker is trying to defeat his two most bitter political enemies. PE-RU-NA REG For Relieving Such Debility, Back Mis. Tressie Kelson, 609 North 5th A\ Tean.,writes: "AsPorunahasdonemeav I feel In duty bound to tell of it, in hop* may meet the eye of Home who has suffered "For five years I really did not know v perfectly well day was, and if I did not MRS.

"A good friend advised me to nee Pe rnna and I was glad to try anything, and I am very pleased to Bay that six bottles made a new woman of me and I have no more pains and life looks bright again." There are a great many phases of woman's aliments that require the as sistance of the surgeon. But by far the greatest nnmher of such cases are amenable to correct medicinal treatment A vast multitude of women have been relieved from the ailments peculiar to their Bex through the use of Peruna as prescribed by Dr. Hartman. He receives ma? y letters from all parts of the country relating to subjects of vital interest to womankind. Of the vast miltitude of women Dr. Hartman treats i nnually, only a small per cent, of them consider it necessary to write to the Di ctor at all. While it is noi affirmed that Peruna will relieve every case of this kind, it is eertainly the p? t of wisdom for every woman so aftlu ted to give Peruna a fair trial THE Andesron Mail says "It is not the first time that this man Roosevelt has been convicted of false hood. It has happened with bir regularly every four or five month since he has been president. He i the sorriest man that ever occupie the white house." The Mail hif the nail right on the head. IT turns out that Watson's cam paigns years ago for the Presidency was financed by the Republicans.
