Teddy Roosevelt seems to 'think that every member of Congress will bear watching. "Peace on earth and good will to men" should be in every one's heart these gladsome Christmas times. "Peace on earth and good will to men" should be the spirit of us all these gladsome Christmas times. Wte hope the Augusta people won't slop over just because Mr. Taft has come down to spend a while with them. The Democrats have the satisfac tion that comes from the fact that they are not responsible for the| misfit that now occupies the White House. Those of our contemporaries tha'. are complaining about their being toe many newspapers in this State for'' them all to thrive will find plenty of j room at the ?op. The decoction sold by the blind tigers up in the Piedmont musi be fearful stuff if we are to judge by the frequent murders that are coumitt?d in that section. Had Judge Parker been elected president of the United States in stead of Mr. Roosevelt in 1904, the occupant of the White House now wculd be a gentleman. An eminent Germin doctor says Emperor William is crazy. An emi nent Washington physician says the same thing about Roosevelt, and we believe that both of them are right. In the last Preuderitial ePcJion the ppople of the Vrite.: States re jected the Prince of Princes and his righteousness and declared for Judas L-cariot and his thirty pieces of silver. If we all adopted better business methods in the management of oui newspapers we would all be better off, and we would hear no more of the complaint that there are too many newspapers in South Carolina. The Augusta authorities had bet ter strengthen the bridge over the Savannah river between that city and North Augusta. Mr. Taft might want to go over and see what a South Carolina dispensary looks like. We notice that some of our con temporaries are complaining about there being too many newspapers in this State. We differ with them, be cause the more papers we have the more intelligent the people will be come. Mr. Taft has arrived in Augusta to spend several weeks in the Sunny South. He could not have selected a pleasanter or more appropriate city in which to study us horried Democrats at ciose range. We are satisfied that he will return home with a better understanding of the Solid South. The United States Senate has de termined to investigate the grounds upon which Teddy based an in sulting reference to the members of Congress in cue of his recent mes sages. If those Senators are not careful Teddy will have -some of them drawn and quartered. Schwab, of the Steel Trust, who appeared before the Conexos?;oiK.l Committee, opposed the redaction of the tariff on steel proposed by Car negie. T're difference between Car uegie and Schwab is the one his made his pile and wants the '.artT reduced, while the other want.; it retained s ? as ne can make his pile. The Times and Democrat seems to have gotten itself in a peck of trouble when it published the firs! article about that "Calhoun County Church Trial." We have alrea ly published artie'es from Mr. John Vaughn. Dr. T. II. Dreher, and this week we publish an article from. Rev. J. H. Tbackrr about the mat ter. Less than this we could nor I do after having published the first article, as The Times and Democrat wishes to do even and exact justice to all. Now that all who are parties to the controversy have had a say "at court" we shall publish nothin/, more about the matter. World's End at Hand. It's all about over, or soon will be, so what's the use to worry about anything. At least Lee J. Spangler, who claims the gift ol prophecy, says so. "The last of the prophets" recently made his last prophecy when he refused to make any pre diction for 1909, as the world will come to an end the latter part of the present month. Spangler has is sued a circular in which he says:, "this world is as wicked as it was in the days of the flood and must b(e destroyed. Heaven and earth must pass away. This world will oome to an end in winter, in the 2nd of this month of December, on Sunday, in the year 190S. I com mand you .to go to Nyack, N. Y., where I shall gather the saints to meet the bridegroom at his coming." Nyack is a good long ways from Or angeburg and' Brother Spangler will have to excuse us for not meeting him at that place. The Augusta Herald thinks that the bill collectors should take notice and quit pestering creditors. What is the use, if the world is going to come to an end before the New Year sets in. But newspaper sub scribers and others who owe small bills and who would like to enter the new world with a clean balance sheet, should make haste and pay these accounts, for they 'haven't many days left. The Times and Democrat will gladly .receipt for all amounts due it between now and the winding up time, so as not one of its subscribers will be embarrass ed in the next world because he fail ed to pay for his paper. We will not need the money, if Brother Span gler is right, and we only make the proposition so as our delinquent sub scribers will be in a position to >e classed among the' sheep when the great change comes. We would re gret very much to see any of them ranged up with the goats, but un less they act at once we fear some of them will be found in the heru o'f goats. Prophet Sprngler says William H. Taft never will be inaugurated Pres ident of the United States. The drying up of streams, the sinking from sight of islands, the earthquake shocks heard in different parts of the country, railroad wrecks and the sinking of ships, mine disasters, the financial panic, suicides and oth er cheerful complications, he says, all point to the fulfillment of his statements, that the end of the world Ids at hand. While the exact date for this great event is not given the wording of the prophecy seem? to point to the last Sunday of the year. So, dear, delinquent sub scriber, you had better hustle and get that little matter straight be fore the time arrives for Von tn face Saint Peter. Good intentions do not count up there. Masterpiece of Eloquence. Billy Sunday, formerly famous as a baseball player, is now doing ser vice as an evangelist. Considerable : fault has been found with Mr. Sun | day because of his alleged "inde cencies" of expression. The Des Moines Tribune, however, says thai one can not do pustice to Sunday without hearing him. And it adds: "We desire to here quote an extract from one or his sermons, and we defy his enemies to find anything tn equal it in all the literature of ser monizing, either for the beauty of expression, the fitness to the occa sion or the effectiveness of this burst of eloquence on an andiene?. Here is the masterpiece of pulpit eloquence: "Twenty-two years ago with the Holy Spirit as my guide, I entered this wonderful temple called Christianity. I entered at the potico of Genesas, walked down through the old testament art gallery, where the pictures of Noah, Abraham, Mo ses, Joseph, Isaac, Jacob, Daniel hang on the wall. I passed into the music room of Psalms, where thfl sprit swept the keyboard of nature and brought forth the dirge-like wall of the weeping prophet Jeremiah to the- grand impassioned strain of Isaiah, until it seemed that every reed and pipe in God's great organ of nature responded to the tunefui harp of David, the sweet singer of Israel. I entered the chapel of Ec clesiastes where the voice of thp preacher was heard and into the con servatory of Sharon and the Lily of the Valley's sweet scented spices filled and perfumed my life. I en tered the business office of Pro verbs, then into the observatory ; room of the prophets where I saw | telescopes of various sizes, some i pointing to far-off events, but all concentrated upon the bright and morning star, which was to rise above the moonlit hills of Judea for our salvation. I entered the audi- ; ence room of the King of Kings, and caught a vision of His glory from th.j standpoint of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John; pass?d into the Acts of the Apostles, where the Holy Spirit was doing his office work in the for mation of the infant church. Then into the eorre.1 pondonc1 room whore sat Matthew, Mark, Luke. John, Paul, Peter, James and Judge, pen ning their epi?tles. I stepped into the throne room of Revelations, where all towered into glittering peaks, and I got. a vision of the Kins sitting upon His throne in all His glory, and I cried: "All hail th< power of Jesus name, Lot angels prostrate fall: Bring forth the royal diadem, And crown His Lord of all!" Slanders Our People. There is not "throughout th? South, among many of its intelli gent citizens, an Impatience, a nerv ousness, a resflessnos in voting toe ore ticket and rejoicing in the suc cess of another," rs Mr. Taft as serts. The men of th? South vote! their convictions. There was no "voting for Bryan and praying for Taft" on their part, and Mr. Taft I slanders them when he makes sucn la statement. There may have bee 1 I isolated cases of such hypocricy, but the rank and file of the men of the i South are open and sincere in poli Lies as they are in everything else. As the Charleston Post says "there was something rather snug and ot tensive in Mr. Taffs easy assump tion of the South's insincerity in sup porting the Democratic ticket .iC the recent election. Mr. Taft had been listening too closely to the 'Taft clubs' of Georgia and the Taft Dem ocrats' of Virginia, and, perhaps, to the Taft editors of South Carolina, and has leaped to the conclusion that the people of the South were pray ing all the time to be delivered from the candidate for whom they cast their ballots last month. That is not true, of course, and it is not agreeable that Mr. Taft should say it. The President-elect calm:y assumes that the South wants to vote the Republican ticket, and he pats it on the head and tells it to go along and do as he thinks it would do if it had permission." Secretary Whitehead, of the Color ado Humane Society, accuses Presi dent Roosevelt of blood-lust and de plores his hunting trip to Africa. The gentleman will please keep still and let Teddy go. The United States can get along very well without him. and he won't hurt the animals over in Africa very much. Asphyxiated in Hotel. Norfolk, Va., Dec. 15.?C. E. Spencer, aged 54, of Hugo, Va., was found asphyxiated in a hotel here Tuesday evening. He is supposed to have only partly lighted a gas heater in his room, the gas from the unlighted burner killing him. Watch the new shipment at Kchn's Emporium this week.
