Phk Times and Democrat, Oraneebiir?, S. C Teddy has now appointed the cer faithtul i_otb to do his liein^l Teddy has quu letter writing and gone co ouyius up labor leaders wita office? Should the Leniocrats he defeated this time i? will be a great calamity to the country. They have caught up with Teddy, again. This time he was' trading offices for votes. Orangeburg County should give at ! least live hundred dollars to th?j Democratic campaign fund. It is hinted that the only thing that keeps Teddy off the stump is the fear that Bryan would challenge him Vj a joint debate. Hearst holds up McLaurin as a friend cf Bryan. Hearst knows bet ter than this, but a lie seems to be more acceptable to him than the truth. The young wife of Zack McGee, the State's correspondent at the Capital, died very suddenly at her home in Washington on Sunady. We tender our sympathy. It looks like Mr. M. L. Smith is groaning for a race for governor on the Prohibition ticket. It looks to us if Featherstone is the logica lpro hibition candidate. W. A. Clark, a Montana millio naire with business interests all over the country, thinks the election of Bryan will help business and in con sequence will work for him in Mon tana. ' ?' ' Frances Burton Harrison, promi nent in New York politics, after a ?visit to the upper part of the State, says Bryan will carry New York, and *aat Chanler would be elected by a large mej&ri ty. \ I If we judge by the sentence Will iams got In Charleston we are forced ? to the conclusion that it is safer to commit murder in this State thai', to be found with burglar tools on your person,. ' ?" ? " ? , It seems to us that the laws in j "reference to bigamy in this -? State should be changed. Sib months in j jail Is too slight a punishment for a j man who wrecks the lives of twoi innocent women. It Is a pity that all the money raised in this State for the Democrat ic campaign fund has not been sent through the Columbia State . Then we could tell exactly how much this State has contributed. The Republicans never fall to re Sect on Cleveland's administration when they think it will advance their cause. They seem to have forgotten all the good he did them after he retired to private life. The Prohibition candidate for the presidency says Mr. Bryan is a superior man and outclasses Mr. Taft. He also says It is hard to who will win as there are thousand of independent voters this year. The Hearst party seem sto be hard put to bet men to act as candidats on their electorial ticket. Why don't tney use the want columns of the daily press? If Hearst is w!l ing to put up the bocdle we ure sure can didates can be found. So they have treed R. H. Ed munds, editor of the Manufacturers' Record. He is one of the Standard Oil pets, too . We are not surprised now that he is for Taft while posing as a great friend of the South. One; by one the friends of the great octa PU8 are unmasked. Samuel Gompers issued an appeal to laboring men to vote for Bryan He called Taft the originator and specific champion of discretionary government,' and said "despotic power is as dangerous under the ermine as under the crown." Could any one put it stronger tnan that'.' In a recent interview General Simon Bu :kenr. of Kentucky, who was the tail-end of the Palmer ticket in 1890. has declared ,.t Taft. Like General Luke Wright, General Buckner has bo.ix ieet in the dougn trough by the appointment of Pres ident Roosevelt. That is why he i* a renegade. Looks Bright for Bryan. The Presidential election is only a little over two weeks off, and the prospects of Bryan's election and tae triumph of the people over the ras cally trusts seem to be most excellent. The Charleston Evening Post, wtuca is no rainbow chaser, says "all the signs point to the success of the Dem ocratic ticket, and the Republican , after twelve years of unhampered ex ploitation of the national resources and unchecked enjoyment of the government's powers and patronage, are shaking tr their shoes before the accounting that will be demand ed of them under the new steward ship of the people, and, more espec ially, with the fear of losing the ad vantages to themselves and the spe cial interests depending upon them which they have turned to such rich and ruthless account during their long tenancy." The New York World has just con cluded an estimate of conditions in New York State, and presents a care fully worked out forecast of the re sult. According to this estimate Taft will carry New York by fifteen thousand votes. An estimate of fifteen thousand majority for the Re publican ticket in New York State, which was carried by Roosevelt four years ago by a plurality of over 175, 000, is an admission of desperation, if not of despair for the Republican cause. The Post thinks such S "change cf sentiment is a single St'ite in four years means nothing lers than a landslide, and when a landslide begins there is no telling how far it will go, but it is sdmo'st certain to go far enough to change the face of the political landscape. If Taft will run 1 CO,000 votes be low Roosevelt's poll in 190-1, he may just as readily run 200,000 behind, an! the cl^im that has been made by some of the mere extravagant mind ' ed politicians in New York that Bryan will carry the State by 100, 1000, is, in-the light of The Worlds figures, almost reasonable, and it ?3, at least, not ridiculous. "But not only does The World work out a brilliant fighting chance for Bryan, but it estimates that the Democratic State ticket will sweep to victory with- a majority of 193, 000 votes. That, too would be a landslide, and, while the State and the national issues are not at all I the same, and it is very probabh that many will'vote for Chanler iu iNew York who will, at the same time, support Taft, nevertheless, it is al most an impossibility that the State Democratic ticket could carry nearly two hundred thousand majority in New York State Without the national ticket running over the line of vic-| tory. The sheer weight of such an immense majority for Chanler would inevitably draw Bryan to success. So that, either the estimates are, sadly in error, or they indicate most flattering"prospect of. Democrat ic success. "These indications of the election of Bryan are not brought home to our people so sharply as they are to those of the debatable States, and there is less hope and far less of confidence in\ South Carolina than there is in New York and Indiana in the chance of "Democratic success in the nation this year. That the Democratic ticket is nearer to victory is beyond question, and there are numerous signs of a great wave of anti-Republican sweeping across the j country,, that may put Bryan in the [White House with an unprecedented pepular and electoral majority." Afraid of Publicity. Prior to the day of election In 1904 when Judge Parser ran againsl President Roosevelt it was cuarge.l jzy Judge Parker and otner Demo crats that representatives of the [special interests were providing the Republican party with campaign funds. Mr. Roosevelt hotly denied j [tne accusation, denouncing Judg? j Parker as a liar. After the flection it developed that C. H. Harrimau, I the railroad magnate, at President \ Roosevelt's special request, had col lected $260,000 for the use and bea jefit of the Republican party in tnat| campaign. This money came from [Standard Oil officials and others, the detailed contributions being as fol lows: E. H. Harriman .% 50.0UO The Vanderbilts. 25,000 Chauncey M. DePew .... 25,000 Jas. Hazen Hide . 25,v-.> J. Pierpont Morgan . iO.wi? Equitable Insuarnce Co.. .. 10.^00 N. Y. Life In. Co. 10,0uo Standard Oil Co. 30,0?u C. N. Bliss. 10,000-1 J. Speyer's Tanking Interest 10.U00 ?Friends of DePew. 35,0u0 Smaller Donations. 20,000 Total.$260,000 This large sum was raised by Har riman a few days before the elec tion on the promise of President Roosevelt to appoint DePew minister to France and allow Harriman to help shape up what he would like in his message to Congress ab<f$t railroads. Harriman in a private letter to a friend says the money, was used to buy up fifty thousanu: votes in the city of New York. In the face of the above facts, ;\'>. of which have come out since election, does any one believe that I Mr. Roosevelt would have darod tell the people, prior to election day, thai I these men had contributed $io0.0^"i to his campaign fund? Will any one' now contended that the people were not. entitled to know these farts prior to election day? In the face of such a revelation is it. not cheeky, to say the least of it for President Roosevelt to in sist that the peonle must trusi him and the other Renublicnn camn-dgi manager? until after the election | when they will make known the names of these who contributed f> thn nenub'i^n en^-npl^n fund. Taft echoes this Roosevelt sentiment. The people have trusted Roosevelt and he has proven false to them While pretending to fight the trusts he has been their best friend. H. I 11 J'J I 1 ill J'-?l - "I it Mr blustered at a few of those thai refused to contribute as liberally to his campaign fund as he thougm they should for past favors tUey hau received from him and the Republi can party, but he never intended t-j ! hurt them in any way. Archbold and McLaurin. Hearst has read some more letters that passed between Archbold and 'our some-time Senator, McLaurin. We publish the whole batch on the [first page. One of the letters was written from Bennettsville, Mc Laurin's home, town, and wa3 dated September 30, 1904. In it the ex Senator reported a rumor to Mr. Archbold, who is the chief distributor of Standard Oil fat among the faith ful, that Roosevelt would, if elected give the Standard Oil and other trusts that had not contributed lib erally to the Roosevelt campaif? fund, all sorts of trouble. McLaurin concludes his letter by saying ' i thought it might be a friendly act to copy this and give it to you in strict confidence. From my isolated position I can not say whether it is worth the ink or not. It will show, anyway, that I am not unmindful of your various kind actions toward me." Let us all be thankful tha*. two years before that letter was written the Democrats of South Carolina under the, leadership >f honest old Ben Tillman had repudi ated McLaurin and turned him out of the United States Senate, because j he had ceased to be a true represen tative of the Democrats of the State. The train on winch Mr. Taft was riding on a stumping tour througn Ohio was derailed ou Tuesday, but luckily he was only slightly ?arrccl He must be practicing for the gre jar he will receive on November 3, when the Bryan flyer will knock hi? slow moving train clear off the track. The Hea of a renegade like Hearst aspiring to the Presidency of this great nation is too ridiculous fOL serious thought. SEED OATS FOR SALE?A fine lot of genuine rust-proof oats, no ry3 mixed in.

He would be very fretful for several days, then his ears would run pro fusely what appeared to be corruption. "Thelastyear I thought ho had almost lost his hearing and had a local physi cian treating him for about six woeks. Ho pronounced him well and for a few weeks he was not troubled, but since that time the discharge from his ears was almost constant and very of fensive.
