C. Taft*3 election means four years more of plundering of the people by j the trusts and big monopolies. Mr. Simmons, the man who say he has brought back prosperity, claims the credit for taming Teddy. When two such eminent "yellows" as Teddy and Willie are yoked to- j gether, decent people had better hide out. .Teddy's hot air trust busting ma chine is no longer in use. It fooled the people and they elected Taft, butj the trusts are still in full blast. They have succeeded in round-in. up the wild young fellows who rules Germany. Now if some one will lasso Teddy the world will be safe. Teddy says if he had been a can-j dldate instead of Taft he would, have j carried Georgia. This shows that Teddy some times talks through his j hat. Bryan polled ten thousand more votes than any other candidate in the late election in South Carolina. That don't look like he lacked po;r-j ularity in this State. When Taft and Rockefeller meet at Augusta in January they * will have a good hearty laugh at the: nea?. I way in which they fooled the Amer-j lean people on November 3. Chas. Francis Adams makes the confession that he is a "tariff thief | and that he has a government 'li cense to steal." And there are oth ers who are not quite as frank as j Mr. Adams. The farmer will soon find out whether Taft's election spells pros perity for them or not. They will only have to wait until the gigantic fertilizer trust just formed gets into working order. Root declares that he will not scramble for the New York Senator ship. There is no need for him to do so. as Teddy has already given the boys tT.eir orders to see that Root is elected. Hlsgen, who headed the Hearst Presidential. ticket in the late elec tion, says he is out of politics for all time. After his utter repudia tion at the polls we are not sur prised at this decision. Chas. Francis Adams says the ben eficiaries of the tariff system are hogs and thieves, and that he. as a bene ficiary of the law, has a government license to steal. As Mr. Adams is a Republican in good and regular standing he ought lo know. We are getting real worried about John Temple Grawes, who repre sented Hearst in the late Presidential campaign. Since the returns from Georgia has been heard from be seems to have crawled in a hole and .pulled the hole in after him. Hf e have received a copy of Gov. ^psel's Thanksgiving Proclamation piost beautifully gotten up in book let form. It is the handsomest thing of the kind we have ever a,een, and reflects credit on the State job de partment, where it was gotten up. During the late Presidential cam paign the Charleston Evening Post predicted that Roosevelt would be working for Hearst in less than a year, and it now looks as if the pre diction will be verified, as it is said Hearst has offered Teddy a job at an attractive salary. ? The Aiken Journal and Review says. "If Mr. Taft should come :c> Aiken and occupy the White Hous? of Barnard's on the Whiskey Road it. would prepare hini lor occupancy of the White House in Washington." Mr. Barnard's White House might be .all right, but we draw the line on "Whiskey Read." No President of the United States should bei, domi ciled on a road with such a name. Old man. Carnc:gre. after plunder-' ing the American' people Wut of a I'illlon and more dollars with the aid! of the tariff laws, now says they ought to be revised in the interest of the people. Lingering on the. brink of the grave, tha old fellow sees things very different from the way he use to see them. As the shadows lengthen he finds that his piled up millions are not much ser vie3 to him.. Hearst Called on Roosevelt. While in Washington the other evening William Randolph Hearst called on President Roosevelt at the White House. What Mr. Hearst said to Mr. Roosevelt and what Mr. Roosevelt said to Mr. Hearst are not matters of record, but says the Charleston Post, it is not hard to guess that there was some nice per siflage between these two managers of things political and an exchange of felicitations at the result of the recent election, in which Mr. Roose velt's candidate was successful in some measure by reason of Mr. Hearst's activity against his oppo nent. Hearst seems to have a short memory. Only two years ago the Hon. EUhu Root, extended the Presi dent's compliments 'J) Mr. Hearst, who was then a candidate for Gov ernor of New York as the nominee of the Democratic party in that State. On the first of November at Utica, Mr. Root delivered an address In advocacy of Mr. Hughes' candidacy against Mr. Hearst, in which he literally burnt up the yellow rene gade. In that speech Mr. Root said: President Roosevelt and Mr. Hearst stand as far as the poles asunder. Listen to what Presi dent Roosevelt himself has said of Mr. Hearst and his kind. In President Roosevelt's first ' mes sage to Congress, in ?speaking of the assassin of McKinley he spoke of him as inflamed uy the reckless utterances of those who on the stump and in the public press appeal to the dark and evil spir its of malice and greed, envy and sullen hatred. The wind is sowed by the men who preach such doc trines, and they can not esoape their share of responsibility for the whirlwind that is reaped. This applies alike to the delibe rate demagogue, to the exploiter of sensationalism, " and to the crude and foolish visionary who for whatever reason apologizes ?for crime or excites aimless dis content. Mr. Root went on to say he said the above by the authority of Presi dent Roosevelt, who wished it to be distinctly understood that in penn ing these words, with the horror of President McKinley's murder fresh before him, he had Mr. Hearst specifically in mind. Mr. Root rub bed it in by going on to say by the authority of Mr. Roosevelt that what he thought of Mr. Hearst then, he thinks of Mr. Hearst now. The plain English of this is that President Roosevelt accused Hearst of being indirectly the murderer of President McKinley. This was pretty heavy on the yei low renegade, but we think he de served it. Hearst, in calling on Roosevelt, is disposed to overlook the insult of fered him by the President two years ago, but it is there all the same. No doubt he called to receive Rose veit's thanks for the part he played in the late Presidential campaign. While Roosevelt may have thanked him, we will wager something hand some that he folds' Hearst in greater contempt than ever before. Hearst has strutted his little brief hour oa the stage of human action, and from now on he will be the laughing stock of the country. In the late campaign he crawled out of the small end of the horn and he will never be able to live down his disreptable acts. . Martin Luther. November 10 was the four hun dred and twenty-fifth anniversary of the birth of Martin Luther, one of the greatest men when results are considered that ever lived in the world. The great event was duly celebratad by the great church he established, and should have been celebrated by every Protestant church in the world, as they all owe their existance to the bravery of this great man. Martin Luther was born November 10, 1483, of humble par entage, and became one of the great men of all time because of the ef fect the reformation, of which he was the father, had upon the nations of the earth. He was a learned man as well as a man of- action. At. we said above, Martin Luther, was the founder of the Protestant church, although of the various sub divisions into which these protes tants against the mother church were split the Lutherans now form only one branch. The adherents of the Lutheran faith throughout the world number about 150.000,000, of which only about one half, however, bear the name of Lutheran, the oth er half being known by various other names. It was Luther's desire to have his religious followers called Evangelical, and by this name the church he founded is called official ly in his native country. In the United States the various Lutheran bodies comprise about 2, 000,000 communicants, and hav* 14, 000 churches. In every country of the world they are represented, and in all these churches and church communities Luther's birthday is ob served in honor of the founder of this church. The life of Luther is worth studying by every young man. It would inspire them to higher and grander things. He determined *o do a srreat work and did it regard less of what it cost him. Another Hedger. In our last issue we showed how the News and Courier was already beginning to hedge on its prediction of great prosperity that would come with the election of Mr. Taft. The News and Courier is not alone in seeing the fading away of the prom ised Taft prosperity. A dispatch from New York says that J. J. Hill, the big railroad magnate, while in clined to view business and the in dustrial outlook optimistically, de clares the ??matters must move slow ly." He says "things are moving forward all ov^r the country, but it is not well to move forward too rap idly and we must not put. too much, on Brother Taft's shoulders at once. A good deal of work remains to ))h done. Mr. Tai't can not do it ail. j Several millions of people must co ! operate in doing it." Mr. Hill need not worry himself. The trusts and big corporations will see to it that the prosperity chorus is loudly sung while they keep their hands in the pockets of the people and rcb them. But what we started out to say was that Mr. Hill is only "inclined" to the opinion that Republican prosper ity is on its way, and therefore ne hedges. The little "me, too," Re publican prosperity chorus singers scattered over the country will have to change thr-ir tune. Three Time*; a Week. On and after January 1 The Times and Democrat will be issued three times a week instead of twice as at present. This will give our sub scribers a paper every other day in stead of every three days, and give them an up-to-date news service. The rural free delivery- system car ries the mail daily rignt to the door of most people living in the country, and causes many of them to want a paper that comes oftener than once or twice a week. Besides, a paper issued three times a week will help all the rural mail routes in the coun ty by increasing the number of pieces of mail handled by them each week. At the named time The Times and Democrat will ba issued on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at the same price we charge for the twice aweek paper, $1.50 per annum. This will be less than one cent per copy, as a subscriber will recrive one hundred and fifty-six papers each year for which he would pay only one hundred and fifty cents. This makes The Times and Democrat the cheap est country paper in the State. Transient suhscribers in the city will be furnished The Three Times a Week Times and Democrat at five cents per week, payable every four weeks. The three papers will con tain from two to three times as much reading matter each week as any other paper published in Orangeburg county How It Got Here. The rumor that the prosperity that was to come if Bryan was defeated and Taft elected had arrived is now most positively and emphatically con firmed by Mr. E. C. Simmons, presi dent of the National Prosperity As sociation.. The Charleston Evening Post says: J'Mr. Simmsons ought to know because, according to his an nouncement, he personally conducted prosperity back to its deserte-l American haunts. Mr. Simmons says the association made a change in public sentiment toward th'e rail roads, especially in the South and Southwest, and indeed President Roosevelt to stop his flood of messag es to Congress and other things hav ing the appearance of being an at tack upon railroads or other large corporations. The tSandard Oil Company will doubtless be glad to hear this latter news. 'Muck rakers,' says Mr. Simmons, 'have ceased to show their heads; demagogues have quit talking, and a very 'healthy state of mind prevails toward these in dustries; whereas previously to our work was a vicious antagonism clearly evident among the masses of the people, most of whom held their views or opinions without giving the subject proper thought.' Mr. Sim mons says the work of the associa tion/'is completed. Indeed, says the Post, since it seems to have brougbt the millennium, not only its work but all work must be completed. Republican Prosperity. The farmers of tue South have been told that the election of Mr. Bryan did not spell prosperity for them, but that the election of Mr. Taft did. Taft has not yet been inducted into office, but the kind of prosperity that the Republican party has been bringing to the farmers for the last 20 or 3 0 years is on its way. The announcement has been made of the formation of a seventy-flve million dollar fertilizer trust, which will take in all the independent com panies now operating in this country and Europe. This is a sign of the business activites and enterprises that waited on the election of Mr. Taft to the Presidency. Had Bryan been elected this gigantic combina tion against the farmers never would have been formed. As soon as this advance agent of Republican pros perity gets well under way our farm ers can make up their minds to pay higher prices for their fertilizers, which is a brand of prosperity that they will not relish. The Republican party is the originator and protector of trusts and monopolies, and under Taft, as under a.. Republican Presi dents, they will have, full and un checked swing. The farmer* have been selected as the first victims of the new era of Republican prosper ity under the Taft regime but they will not be the last. Easy to Run a Newspaper. People think it is easy to run a newspapers. One week's experience would change the opinion of most people on this subject. Did you ever count the words in a column of ordinary newspaper print? Well, there is about a thousand words in a column. Suppose you ?it down and write a thousaud words upon sonu; subject and then another thousand and another until yen hate written eight or ten thousand. Try it, and see if it is right easy. Keep that gait up for a month, a year and se-J if it is easy. Then chn?e a ninglo local item all over town, and after you have gotton the facts all righ', condense them into a few lines, an hour's work tbrvt can be read in a few seconds. Do this for a dozen items that seem insignificant ct'r: they are printed, but which you know are important; then have the it?Bi? criticised and Inaccuracies pointed out to you whea it i? too lata to correct them. Oh, yee, it is easy to run a newsi^ajier. AFTER THE BATTLE EDITOR HOLMES SIZES UP THE SITUATION In a Broadside Manner in His Paper, The Barnwell People, That Reads Like Epic Poem. The election is over. The shout ings' are hushed. The fireworks are burned to ashes. The smoke hau gone away, and "where are we at?" Hindsight is better than foresight, and as we see the course of the political cyclone of the first Tues day in November, 1908, we recogniz. that the truth of the popular quota tion, "You can fool all the people some of the time, some of the peo ple all the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time," needs the addition that generally enough of them to carry out the. plans and purposes of the men who pull the fires and get their axes ground can be fooled?or are natural fools. The defeat of the Democracy in the presidential race was a national misfortune approaohing the degree of a disaster, as time will show. The prestige of the president, the awful power of his administratio t the character and ability of the pres ident-elect, Mr. Taft, the general ship of Chairman Hitchcock and the fervid eloquence of the Republican spellbinding speakers may be coa sidered?as they have the surface appearance of being?the cause of Mr. Taft's triumph, but a deeper analysis, a digging down to the truth, will show that the almighty dollar biased the verdict (of the American people. , The money power stood pat. The Standard Oil Company, the richest and most powerful trust on earth, that exacts toll from every lamp that burns in parlor or sick room, every stove that cooks a scanty meal, every gasoline engine that pumps water, cuts wood, drives automobile, grinds corn or gins cotton, that has cinched the forethought reservoirs of oil stored by a beneficent providence for the general good ages ago?and so Rockefeller declared for Taft. He means to keep the monopoly that he has. The steel trust that has cornered the essential metal made in the morning of time by the good God for the uses of his children, a corpora tion that exacts tribute from every atom of that metal, from the break fast knife, from the hoe and plow that tills the fields, through the long catalogue to the battleships that plow the deep, proclaimed through Andrew Carnegie, its master spirit, for Taft. The railroad system, that ties the States as the spider weaves its.weo among the rose trees of the garden, threatened the suspension of im provement and extension in ease '?f Taft's defeat, and its thousands of uniformed dependents took the hint,' and Harrlman proved that Roose velt's judgment of him as "a practi cal man" was a true bill. And the great financiers, the me.t who control the circulation of money as the miller regulates the flow of water or the Impact of steam, pre dicted a panic in case of Bryan's elec tion, and great fear came Into the hearts of the merchant princes of the North and every blessed hireling of theirs was made to show his colors, march in the Republican parades, vote for the grand old party candi dates, and for the second time In its history New York city, the modern Babylon, went Republican and Belshazzar Morgan drank his wine in smiling content. Through the North and West the farmers, merchants and manufactur ers who have waxed fat on the profits of Southern trade wanted no vacation from their profit-gathering, and so they gave th:-ir landslide' v*?te to Taft. And so to the end of the chapter. Another large factor was the Im migration of aliens without an idea of a government of the people; be sotted in mind and habit by long subjection to the iron hand of mon archical rule and having but the one ambition of bread ar*d meat and money In their starved minds. And so the great multitv.de filled the broad road, some in brave rai ment, some foot sore, others in royal equipage; the rich fearing the peril of ill-gotten gains, the poor dreading the deeper poverty threatened, the wage-earner sHvrring at the thought of discharge?a motley procession of nationalities?and they g?ve Tafc 321 electoral votes. But in the whole tragedy of the surrender of the groat reuuh'Ic of the W<Jst to the worship of the gold en calf thre was one luminous page. The "solid South," one unconquered by oppression untamed by wrong, unafraid of threat, true to principle and prosperity, atood to the faith of the fathers who built with brave deeds and strong hands and unfalter ing sacrifice and rejoicing courage the foundation on which this govern ment grew to goodness a?d great-1 ness, a light to all the nations before : the money-chAngers became the chief priests in its temple of liberty. The spleador of that page reaches from ' where the Potomac meets the ? <? to where the Lone Star is mirrored in the Rio Grande, and that day of defeat is redeemed ;by the hero spirit that gtill liv?s in the South land and cover it as God's glory of sunshine fi'Is thy heavens above.

We do not see why they should gp to Texas to get a man to try for murder when we never hang any of those we have right here at home. "Why Joyner Left Home. "Are you ready to receive the ob ligation?" asked the Most Upright Supreme Hocus-Pocus of the Order of Hoot Owls, says Judge. "I am," said the candidate firmly. "Then take a sip of this prussic acid, place your right hand in this pot of boiling lead, rest your left hand upon this revolving buzz-saw, close your eyes and repeat after me"? Early next morning shreds of Joyner's clothing were found upon the bushes and trees all along the road to Pottsville, thirty miles dis tant, and at Scrabbletown, sixty miles away, he was reported still headed west. * The man whose past won't bear investigation is usually the first to brag about his future.
