Brother Charles has tapped his
barrel and from now on the fight for
the Ohio senatorshJp will be a warm
number.
Curiosity was made the excuse by
many supposedly respectable Chicago
people for attending the recent orgy
in that city. Curiosity seems to be
a favorite plea with some people who
have to explain their presence in
sor e places.
The new parliament in Turkey, If
it conducts itself wisely and is not
vr.duly influenced by the Sultan,
ought to work out the political and
social salvation of 'that distracted
country and bring poace to its dis
cordant elements.
Men who refuse to pay their
honest, debts will drop coin in the
church plate and think they are
good. Why is it Miat so soon as a
man stains himself he seeks to rub
it off against church pews and pure
Sunday school children?
When a fanner gets it into his
"noggin" good that the farmers,
properly organized, can fight "the
world, the flesh and the devil," he
will enjoy more of the good things
of this li"o than he most ever did.
But he must organize first and ed
ucate.
Senator Scott, Republican, of West
Vinginia, is responsible for the re
mark that there will be two Thanks
giving days next year?March 4 and
again in November. The Augusta
Chionicle wants xo know if the gen
liraian is frying to break into the
cabinet without being asked?
It is ?. wi?e person who looks
ahead and plans accordingly. It
prevents that worry and confusion
which is always the experience ol
th-iso who leave things to the last
r:iimite a id who by so doing disap
point themselves and other by tho
inperfect character of their work.
Congress has'spent two or throe
weeks without doing any harm, an I
now that the members have gone
home for the holidays, which every
ol< hones they will enjoy, is it too
much to expect that they will make
the new year resolution to do some
effective work when they get bask
to Washington?
The Augusta Herald says: "Since
Senator Tjllman does not play golf
and Mr. Taft does not play sinnny.
perhaps when Hen comes to see Big
Bill in Augusta they will find poker
a game that both can play?" Ben
Tillonan does not play poker anfl
if Mr. T 'ft does, he should quit since
be has been elected President.
A >ar . .'i;:ph is going the rounds
ahoul a -rirl riving from tight lacing.
We agree with an exchange that
these corsets should be done away
with and if the girls can't live with
out being squeezed, as ohLas we are.
we'd rather devote three hours a

substitute corset, than s<<?ing these
girls dying in that manner. Office
hours almost any time.
It is altogether likely that Castro
saw the "handwriting on the wall."
and that this as much as any physical
ailment led him to leave Venezuela.
Anyway his rule is over and if he
is as wealthy as reputed he would do
well to remain in Europe the rest
of his days. Venezuela is to be con
prntulrried on being rid of him. and
?t the new government acts wisely
its affnris. both internal and external
will shew rapid improvement.

Another Mile Stone.
We will soon pass another mile
stone on our way to eternity, and as
we grow older it seem';, that we trav
el from one of thesis mile stones
to another faster .than we did in our
youth. Over <the gateway of an En
glish cakit5h is a sundial and around
? he dial are these words:
I mark time, dost thou?
I am a shadow, so art thou.
In keeping with the second line is
Edmund Burke's estimate of man?
"What shadows we are, and what
shadows we pursue." The closing
days of the year make us feel that1
in some measure we are as shadows
creeping ovUr the face of time. And
yet it ought to be possible for us lo
answer affirmatively the combined
statement and question, "I mark
time, dost ?thou." Most certainly we
can do this when we live the true
life?the life of clean character and
of service to othhlrs, doing the best
we can as we know how.
The man who has done that dur
ing the year now ending may not be
altogether satisfied with himself but
hj'i may rejoice that he has had some
share, however humide, in helping
the world to be better. In truest [
sense the man who does that is far
mon.' substantial than a shadow.
The old year is dying and soon it

Divorce Reform Needed.
The divorce statistics of this
country are not pleasant reading and
reveal a 'deplorable amount of do
mestic infelicity. .Admitting, r.s is
claimed by some, that divorces aic
excusable on tho ground that they
make for better domestic conditions
in a few instances, yet it cannot be
dei ied that divorce is far too rrf
ouent and that some reform is nee
ed In the States where they arc
panted. Probably what, is most
needed is a higer conception of the
marriage state and fewer injudicious
nw.rriages. In the States where tv
divorce habit is indulged in main
people enter upon the marriage re
lation who are altogether unfited er
unprepared for it. Then, too, many
necple in divorce States seem to
I? ok upon marriage as almost a Joke
or a piece of fun, and they learn by
sad experience in most cases ri-.K
truth of the old adage, that "those
who marry in haste repent at leis
ure." The horseplay and frivolity
ofren witnessed at weddings also Is
not conductive to an exalted idea or
marriage. If the sacredness of the
institution w.-re more fuily recogniz
ed and better judgment shown in
forming ties there would soon be a
falling off in divorce statistics. We
were told once by a lady of a young
lady friend of hers, who, when re
monstrated with, said if the mar
riage did not turn out to her liking
she could easily secure a divorce.
This was in New Jersey. The more
we see and hear about divorces the
move pleased we are that South Car-j
olina does not grant them.
Wife a Business Partner.
A farmer should remember that his
wife is a business partner. She makes
the butter, helps prepare things for
market, is a watch dog for the prem
ises when he is away, and assists
with the poultry and garden: and
when he secretly signs away money
she has helped to earn, he is cheat
inc his partner as well as robbing bis
wife: and it is an offence the law
would not tolerate in any other con
partnership, nor should it in this.
There is a law which prevents a
man from selling his farm without
his wife's signature, and is sounds
as if a wife was of so ne importance;
'-?it ii is rendered non-effective as a
preservative of her home from the
fact that he can mortgage it. and en
dorse other men's papers to any ex
tent without her knowledge or con
sent, and thus dispose of the family
possessions?and the slmriff can sell,
and she has no right tliar he is bound
to respect, 'liiis statute is a mock
ery until it is supplemented by an
other niiiking a man's signature, as
security Invalid when written with
out his wife's approval: and still an
other making it illegal for him to
mortgage the farm to pay debts that
she has no knowledge of.
dossipers and Tattlers.
All gossipers and tattlers are b:id
enough, but deliver us from a woman
who tattles, one who from envy and
jealousy will attempt to blight the
fair name of the woman who has
been her companion, by making a
house to house canvass, telling a taie
here and one there, me thinks I can
pee the demon now, as she enters the
home of the one she desires to in
jure by unfolding her story, she com
mences thus. "Oh, I have something
Ito tell you," but you must not re
peat it. it was just told to me and
must surely be true, It is almut Mary
Doe. or Jane Roe. Mother says it is
awful, and that I cannot go with her
any more." You can see the evil in
this tattler now. She has made the
first thrust, stabbed her young frien t
in the back with the piece of falre
news, and thus she makes her rounds
from place to place, doing all the
harm she can. Reflect about this aw
ful habit of talking too much, and
shun a tattler as you would a rattle
snake. ?
Took a Wrong View.
Recently a man committed suicid?
!> -cause he had, to use his own
words, "tried to be a gentleman and
failed. Probably the deed was
prompted through a mistaken Idea
of what constitutes a gentleman. H:
doubtless thought that wealth and
social po?itlon were essential. That,
rf course, was the ancient condition.,
but in these days anC especially in
jur own land we have a different
?:'d truer conception of a gentleman.
We sav with Burn?. "The rank is bnt
thf guinea stamp." Today a gen
tleman is a man of courtesy, kind
ne-ss and good life and breeding, and
any man who tries can be that
whether or not he has social po
sition and wealth. As old Chaucer
well put it even in his day, "He is
g-ntil that doth igentil dedis." if
there were less aping to be a gen
tleman in the old accepted sense and
more effort put forth to be a gen
tleman in modern sense there would
\f fewer life failures and disappoint
ments.
The Commercial Standing of a Town.
In a great measure the commer
cial standing of. a town is reckoned
according to the number and value
of its business enterprises; its mora.
Standinjg, according to Die number
and power of its institutions, ex
erting a good influence as opposed
U) those exerting a bad. These
things being true, it should be the
intent of the citizens of Orangeburg
to encourage such new enterprises
as tend in any way to make th">
place better; for a town Is greatly
what its citizens make it, nothing
more and nothing less.
