The hot argument box should al ways bo. kept in' a cool place. The politician may not be io strong as a horse but often he has more pull. A man has to work harder to be a poor farmer than he does, to b< a good one. Don't be afraid of knowing too much, but beware of knowing things that are not so. Nothing costs so much and ma'?;es scanter returns than the green-eyed monster jealousy. - If you must give advice, first con sidar it carefully. What if some body should follow it? Teddy Roosevelt is some what of a liar himself and that is the reason he thinks everybody else is. If you can't get turkey for Christ mas try chicken; and be thankful that you are living to eat it. * A man that has been caught in as many lies as Roosevelt, should be very carfeul how he calls his bet ters liars. The Panama Canal deal; and Ted dy's denunciation of prominent ed itor} as liars does not clear the mystery. We have believed for some time that Roosevelt is a crazy man. On no other ground can his actions be explained. We believe that there is some thing wrong about that Panama Ca nal deal, or Roosevelt would cot get so mad about it. The man who has a good wife and conscientiously takes her ad vice, is not likely to get in very deap trouble, either in this world or the next. Mr. Taft makes is very plain that the white man in the South who goes into the Republican party w.ll have to accept the negro as his po litical immer. Congress convened on last Mon day: Champ Clark, of Missouri, was chosen minority leader of the Demo crats to succeed the Hon. John Sharpe Williams, of Mississippi. Brother E. H. Aull, the genia' and accomplished Editor of the New berry Herald and News, was in the city Tu.-sday evening. He is always a welcome visitor to Orangeburg. ?.ir. Ta ft dwelled most eloquently the other night in his speech about the uselessness of the Solid South, but he did not say a word about .a Solid New England. Where is the difference? The Journal says: "The streets of Branchville are in a deplorable condition after the recent rain. Can't something he done to remedy them? Some more pavements would be in order at this time also." The Atlanta Journal wants to know how can the average citizen be expected to keep the peace and to clothe his sentiments in seemly verbiage when we behold the presi dent of these United States and tho editor of one of our great newspap?rs assanins one another in the lan guage of the fish-ladies who abide in the bailiwick of Billingsgate? A witness in a law case recent'." gave as his opinion that the limit of liquor for a "lady' at dinner was one pint of champagne, with cordials and one or two other kinds of drinks in addition. As the witness ws.s an autho-ily in such matters hin opinion has doubtless settled for some people a burning question. What puzzles the average mortal is how a woman, who drinks as above stated, can be a "lady." With the exception of one of two Western States where women suffrage prevails, woman's political rights are more advanced in Eng land than in this country. For years they have been eligible to serve ou j parish and county councils and. with certain requirements of con dition, and property, they have for many -years voted at municipal elec- j tions. And now a lady has just been elected mayor of a city of 13,000 by the largest majority ever given- a] mayorality candidate. Teddy's Terrible Tirade. ; The occasion for the attack upon Messrs. 'Smith and I>affan by Presi dent Roosevelt is the story that was ?told during the recent campaign about the syndicate of American cap italists who made profit out of th>j Panama Canal deal. The reference to the President's . brother-in-H w concerns the report that he, Mr. Douglas Robinson, was one of the syndicate, Mr. Charles P. Taft, ac cording to the report, being another. The President says there was no such syndicate and that everybody knows the full details of the trans action in the purchase of the cpnal .iroperty from the French syndicate Ca this statement the President did exactly what he accused Messrs. Smith and Laffan of doing. The Charleston Evening post says, "tha late Senator Morgan, of Alabama, did not know them, although he pursued a most painstaking and tire less inquisition into such matters, through a committee of the Senate. He got as far as William Nel son Cromwell, lawyer for E. H. Har riman, confidant of the War Depart ! ment, under Mr. Roosevelt's admin istration, one of the managers of Mr. Taft's campaign and spoken of as t. probable member of President Taft's cabinet. Senator Morgan could nor. get any farther into the Panama mystery, Mr. Cromwell refusing to answer certain direct and searching questions and Mr. Morgan not being able to persuade his colleagues on the'committee, high Republicans, to require an answer. Yet the Presi dent says that the .whole Panama transaction has been laid before the public." Roosevelt is trying to bluff off an investigation, but he won'! succeed. Lawless South Takes Notice. When tbe one hundred and seven teen indictments for riot at Spring field, III. were made some T.ime ago the "lawless South" was invited take notice by the Republican press of how lynching would be treated at the North. Well, the ring leader of that riot, in which innocent and guilty negroes were indi'-crlminateiy killed or driven from their homes has been tried and acquitted, and it is safe to stay that a like verdict will be rendered in the cases of the I other rioters, should their cases -ever be brought to trial. The fail ure to convict the cnnr<-d>d l*?aVr of the mol. can mean only that the whole effort to bring the riot?rs' to justice has come to nothing. A- the Macon Tel?ifraph says, "this is to be regretted for srv >ral reasons. Whatever the provocation In the first place, the mob unques tionably killed unoffending negroes and burnt tLeir homes, and those known to have joined in such out rages merit severe punishment. Moreover, the resvlt i* disaopoint Trig because it was announced that ? tue courts of Springfield ronld set those of the South a go^d exumple. "The '1 .wless South' was called,on to take note of those 117 Indict ments in Springfield and see what might be done when there was the will to do. Yet, although Spring field's mob in burning out the negro quarter went much further than th? Southern mob is apt to go, there is a similar lack of punishment in the ;??qnel. As we have said, this is to be reg.ctted for ninie reasons than one." The Divorce Evil. A compendium of statistics on marriage and divorce has recently been issued by the bureau of the census department of commerce and labor. The statistics are the result of careful gathering of figures in every State in the. union, the period covered being from 1887 to 1906. The last set of national statistics on marriage and divorce covered the period from 18G7 to 1886. Th? present set of statistics, taking in conjunction with the former and divorce question for the past forty years. The three important facts brought out in this compendium are: One marriage out of every twelve in the United States termi nates in the divorce court. Divorce Is two and one-half times as com mon in this country as it was forty years ago. Illinois grants more di vorces than any other State In the union, and South Carolina is -the only State that refuses to grant dl . vorces. Every South Caroliniar ought to be proud of the fact that his State does not contribute to the terrible affairs described above. Struck the Wrong Crowd. Mayor Busse, of Chicago, recently ordered the chief of police to make a raid upon a poker game played a? an Illinois club house. The police officers were met at the door by of ficers of the club who volunteered to show them through. They es corted the police to a room where a number of Mayor Busse's personal and political friends were engaged in a game of poker. It is said that two of the men engaged in the game were city officials, holding high au thority over the police force itself. All of thef were escorted to the police station where they' gave bonds for their appearance. Mayor Busse was in a rage when he heard of the arrest of his friends. He de clared that he had ordered the chief to raid a card game on the nin'h floor of the club house because he understood that that was an open and dishonest game. One of the men arrested said: "The raid on our game was because of spite against Mayor Busse. When the de tectives entered the place and asked regarding the game on the ninth floor they were directed by two of ficers of the club room where the friends of the mayor were in the habit of spending the evening. Ev ery'Other game in the house had been shut down when the club of ficers were warned of the contem plated raid." The raid has brought, about a new war within the club. Members who did not dream that gambling was permitted are up in arms. They promise that the of ficials who are said to have sold out gambling privileges will be ousted. !t is declared also that charges are to be filed against Manager Green and Charles Zeller, the athletic di rector, who are tald to be the two officials who "steered" the detectives against the game "game."

"My husband was cured of asthma* my daughter of earache and catarrh of the stomach, and my son of catarrh of the throat.
