Life is too short to fall out with friends about politics. Collier's Weekly should not be read in any Southern home. It is a base slanderer of our women. The Republican party's success in the lata Presidential election con verted a million voters to the Socia list party. South Carolina is now the banner Democratic State of the Union. This shows that our people can't be easily fooled. The Times and Democrat believes as strongly in Bryan as ever, but it does not believe that he will be a candidate for President in 1912. Brother Tighe, who, worked up this State for Hearst, can't be much of an organizer or surely the Hearst ticket would have received more than fifty-five votes. We poke fun at the Socialists, but if the Republican party remains in power much longer, the Socialist party will become a powerful fac tor in our politics. Even old man Cannon, the speak er, is in favor of the Republican brand of tariff reform, which means, of course, that the trusts and big corporations will bp well taken care of. Bryan got over two thousand more votes in South Carolina in the late election than was cast for any other candidate, instead of over ten thousand votes as we stated in Tues day's issue. It seems that the report that Taft would oppose the re-electioh of Cannon as speaker, was a mistake. Taft will mind his own business and let the House attend to its busi ness in its own way. Orangeburg county gave Bryan and Kern the largest vote of any county in the State except th? coun ties of Spartanburg and Greenville which have large white majorities. The Times and Democrat is prou 1 of the Democratic vote cast in this county. During the campaign The News and Courier warned John Temple Graves if he was not very careful h? would be kidnapped by a cock spar row. We fear that dire calamity has befallen John Temple, as he seems to have hMsappeared completely since the* election. South Carolina gave John Temnle Graves, and his running mate, His gen, only forty-five votes. John Temple was the only South Caro linian that was on any of the Presi dential tickets, and his native State should have given him five more votes at least. The prosperity of our country do pends so largely on the prosperity of our farmers, that everything pcssild-? should be done to render life in the rural districts agreeable as well as profitable, and nothing could con duce more to the comfort and happi ness of our people than th? improve ment of roads. An exchange pertinently remarks "A good newspaper cannot be made these days without good advertis ers." but what is of more genera! concern is th? broad fact that a good town cannot be made in these days without a good newspaper. It costs money to make a good town. It costs money to make a good news paper. Jacob Moorer appeared before the Board of State Canvassers on Monday and claimed that his client, Richarc' son, should be given the seat now occupied by Lever in Congress. Had the board agreed with Jacob, he would have fainted on the spot, as he was after the $2,000 allowance for his client aud not a seat in Congress. If we should wake up in th<? night and find a thief robbing us. and we should agree to join him and help rob our neighbors and divide thp spoils, we would do just about what, those people who advise the South to join the Republicans want us to do. They advise that we help thr. Republican party hold up the people so as the trusts ran rob them, and in return we would be allowed to take part in the stealing. Republican Prosperity. Before the made-to-order prosper ity of the Republican party can be proclaimed as an absolute fact, the soup houses in the large cities must be abolished and the long line of un fortunates who stand shivering in the bread line in the big cities wait ing for a piece of dry bread and a cup of black coffee must be dis persed. So Mr. Powderly, a Gov ernment labor agent, was sent to New York to investigate the con dition of those who frequent the soup house and stand in the bread line, and he reported that most of the unfortunates who stand shiver ing in the cold waiting for a cruse of bread and a little coffee "are liars and professional hoboes who would not work if employment was offered them." Speaking of his observation Mr. Powderly said: "Some of the men are all right, but more of them would not work if they had the chance I took one man for instance, to a restaurant and bought him a meal. When it was .served he asked if it might be taken home to his family. He was one of those who honestly wanted tfc? work and could* fin 1 nothing to do." Mr. Powderly went on to say that "the majority told me sad tales about their lives; tales which I knew to be false. Some of them pretended to have be?n bank ers, brokers, or engaged in other lines of business. Their very speech betrayed them. Most of them arc 'bums' and scalawags." As a means of getting .these un fortunate, id'e workmen out of the way, so as the Republican prosper ity could have full swing, Mr. Pow derly suggested that the State pur chase farms where these "profess ional receivers of charity," as he calls them, shall be forced to work, and if they refuse to do service thsre, Mr. Powdevlys plan "is to place them in the hands of some othev State department for handling and correction." He would thus make it a crime for men and women, who cannot find employment, to frequent soup houses and stand in bread lines to get a morsel to eat to keep soul and body together. To carry out Mr. Powderley's ideas would be an out rage, and would be only one more step towards the revolution that will sooner or later come to this country unless the process of making paupers out of our working people for the benefit of trusts as practiced by the Republican partj is stopped. The mills of the Gods grind slow, but they grind exceedingly fine. "Please Stop My?" A newspaper is the great national book. It penetrates into the heart, of nearly every family and silently does it's work. It can drop the same idea into the. minds of thousands of people at the same time. There are many people who read nothing else almost no one reads that does not read the newspaper and henee, r-.s an advertising medium it is by far the cheapest and best; and every business man who wishes to prosper and become a power in the land will have to keep the word "advertise" constantly before him; take advan tage of it on every hand; don't let an opportunity pass to make your name and business favorably known. Every advertisement inserted at tracts the eye of the outside world., and nothing more tends more in wards the growth of a city. "Times- are hard, money is scarce business is dull, retrenchment U duty?please stop my?" WhiBkev "Oh, no; times are not hard enough for that. But there is something else that costs me a large.amount every year, which I wish to save. Please stop my?" Ribbons, jewelry, ornaments and trinkets,? "No, no, not those, but I must retrench some where. Please stop my?" Tobacco, cigars, snuff? "Not these at all, but I believe I can see a way to effect quite a saving in another direction 1 Please stop my?" -Tea, coffee,- ana unhealthy luxuries? "No, no, not these. I must think of something else. Ah! I have it now. My pape* costs $1.50 a year. Please stop my paper. That will carry me through the panic easily. I believe in re trenchment and economy, especially in brain." The Town Croak. In every town except Orangeburg you find some men who always croak and growl: their chief amusement seems to be to snarl and whine and howl. Of course they do not prosper ?such people seldom do?and so they strive to make themselves and all tht'.r neighbors blue. If strang ers come these men endeavor to g?*t. them off alone, and while they speek in doleful tones, tell them how the town is dead and passed away, and hasn't any enterprise that half be gins to pay; how real estate is very low and taxes very high, and every improvement scheme is sure to wane and die. The good book says a day will come when all must paBS away and swap for wings and golden harps this tenement of clay, the earth will burn with fervent heat, the sun go out in gloom, and every living, breathing thing shall find a real tomb. When that time comes the croaker who drives against his towr;?and tries to drive good men j away and breaks their efforts down ?will be declared a victim for a special dose of flame?ten thousand years and he will be roasting just; the> same. Meantime the energetic man who labors for his town, always works to build it up instead of tear ing down, will ride from earth to heaven in a Pullman palace tear, and will dwell in peace forever where the first-class angels are. Leap Year Nearly Gone. L?ap year is nearly gone and many of our sweetest and best girls have not availed themselves of its privi leges. Here is some prose poetry that we suggest they read and act on. Tell us not in Idle jJnglo "mnr riage is an empty dream:" for V\>> ^irl is dead that's single, and things are not what they seem. Life is real, life is earnest, single blessed nes9 a fib; "Man thou art, to man returns th," has been spoken of th? rib. Not enjoyment and not sorrow is our destined end or way, but to act that each tomorrow finds us nearer marriage day. Life is long and youth is fleeting and our hearts, though light and gay, still like pleasant drums are beating wedding marches all the-day. In the world's broad fields of battle, in the bivou-c of life, be not like dumb driven cat tle?-be a heronie?a wife! Trust no future, however pleasant, let the dead past bury its dead; act ?act,in the living present, heart within and hope ahead. Lives of married folks remind us we can li"i? our lives as well, and, departing leave behind us such examples as shall "tell"?such examples that another, wasting time in idle sport, a forlorn, unmarried brother see ing, shall take heart and court. Let uf, then, be up and doing, with a heart on triumph set; still contriv ing, still pursuing, and each one a husband get. Managing a Wife. A New York paper recently of fered a prize for the best thought on "How to manage a wife." The following was awarded the prize. " 'Manage'? What is that? Does it mean to control? We manage a horse. We use our superior human intellect to guide and control his superibr physical strength so as to obtain the best results. But a wife is not a horse. Where two persons are well jiarried, the wife is supe rior to h?r husband in many re spects as he is superior to her in others. If happiness is to be the result of the union the husband i-. to manage himself so as to keep himslf always his wife's respectful friend, always her tender lover, al ways her equal partner, always her superior prote/etor. This will neces sarily always stimulate the' wife to be an admiring friend, always an af fectionate sweetheart, always a thrif ty housewife, always a confiding ward. And this will so react upon the husband that his love for hi.3 wife will grow so as to make it easy for the husband, with all hi* 'faults, to bear with the infirmities of his 'one and only' wife." Long Felt Want. Gov. Ansel has written to all of thi circuit judges calling their at tention to the fact that the new reformatory and industrial school at Florence is now open and ready to receive such boys as the courts mar under the terms of the act commr. to the institution. Under the act establishing the formatory white boys between the ages of eight and sixteen, convicted b? a crime for Which the penalty or services on tht. chaingang, may be sent by the court to the reformatory, and any boy of the same age may be committed tu the Institution by his parent or guar dian on approval of the pudge of the circuit, probate or city court. There is now plenty of room at the reformatory, there being only about a dozen boys iu the institution, mo^t of whom were transferred from the penitentiary. This reformatory and industrial school All? a long felt, want In South Carolina, and will prove a great benefit to the tSate in reforming boys who may go astray. An Editor's Love Letter. Dear darling delinquent! Our precious subscriber in arrears! You are so shy! Do you think wi have sold out and gone. No, little sugar-plum, we could not get away if we wanted to. We are still at the same old stand dishing out l!?e advertisers on sweet promises and bright expectations They make an excellent diet, darling, with a lit tle pudding flavored with a word of encouragement to serve as a dessert. We are waiting and watching f.r thee, our turtle dove. We long to hear thy gentle footstep o ntha stairway below and to hear the ri i? of the happy dollars within our of fice. Dear one, we feel unusually sad and lonely without you, dear. Now lit tle pie-crust, wiil you come? Do we hear you answer in a voice so sweet and beguiling. "I'm coming," or is it only the winds that around our of fice roar? We pause for further de velopment. It is said that William Randolph Hearst believed before the election that his Presidential ticket would poll one-third of the Southern Demo cratic vote, and thus enable the Re publicans to carry several Southern States. But his little scheme did not work, even with little John Temple Graves, a Southern man, as one of his decoys. The Republican contestants foi seats in Congress from this State are working the same old gag this year that they have worked for years. It does seem that the members of the Congressional Committee who is charged with investigating these cases should put an end to these raids on the National Treasury. The first time a woman marries she calculates her future in sentiment: the second time she estimates it in household duties. Fortune Is sometimes fickle, but misfortune ie always stasere. For Rent.
