How do you like the three-times a-week Times and Democrat? Roosevelt is a dirty, low man by instinct and, therefore, he deals in low dirty methods. No one believes for one moment that Senator Tillman is mixed up in any land grabbing scheme. ? Senator Tillman will reply to the base insinuation of Roosevelt on Monday and tie will make the fur fly. The conviction of the night riders in Tennessee will go a long way to wards stopping that form of lawless ness. Some of the secret men ought to investigate some of the many deais that Roosevelt has been charg ed with. Roosevelt will leave the high of fice he has disgraced with a poor reputation for veracity and square dealing. No doubt Roosevelt would like to get something on Senator Tillman for the terrible castigation that the Senator has given him. A snow-white stork, captured in the White River swamps of Indiana, ?will be sent to President Roosevelt, who may take a notion to forward it to Cincinnati, says the Manchester Union. One of the strongest lawyers in the State should be selected as Judge Pope's successor. There is no good reason why one of the Associate Justice should not be elected Chief Justice. We think Chief Justice Pope is to be congratulated on his resigna tion. His action in the Union mur der case showed very plainly that he was not fit to be at the head of our highest court. A company capitalized at $500,000 has been organized at Atlanta, Ga., for the ppurpose of . manufacturing paper from cotton stalks, a hereto fore useless by-product. It is claim ed that paper can be made from cot ton stalks at a cost of about $15 a ton. ?* Judge Hydrick is mentioned for a position on the Supreme Court Bench. He would be a good man for the place. So would Judge C. G. Danizler. The Legislature would make no mistake if it selected either of these gentlemen as a successor to Chief Justice Pope. We should catch the Sumter spir it and keep Orangeburg in the eyes of the State through the daily press. The Sumter folks duly record the building of a chicken coop as a great enterprise. That's what we must do. Let the people of the out side world know that we have a lit tle city here with all the modern /improvements. How Is the farmer to be able to price his cotton and get the. price he puts on his staple which repre sents his labor? There are three things essential: First, organize yourselves: second, co-operate to gether; third, diversify crops so as to make home self-supporting. If the farmers follow these three rules nine-cent cotton will be a thing of the past. According to the Chronicle, South Carolina don't only furnish much of the whiskey drank by the people of Augusta, but, also, many of the large number of the divorce cases that takes up the valuable time of the courts over there. Why no*, burn the bridge that leads to North Augusta dispensary and repeal the Georgia divorce law? Then AugUS to would be safe. In apologizing for the large num ber of divorce cases tried at a recent term of court in Augusta the Chron icle says, "Richmond county has for years been a sort of a clearing house for mis-matched coupies from South Carolina, and this fact has caused the large number of divorce pro ceedings in the county each year." This is too bad. and we would sug gest that Georgia repeal her divorce law. The Montgomery Advertiser, in rebuking Editor Rhodes for assum ing to express the sentiment of Southern Democracy, says: Birm ingham, so rich in government and political freaks, is exhibiting anoth er of her curiosities. The Democra cy of Alabama had nothing to do with the Augusta exhibition of toadyism." May be Editor Rhodes is getting ready to be struck with official lightning. Upward and Onward. At the recent celebration of Or angeburg's birth as a city, there was much said by some of the speakers that we wish all the residents o* Orangeburg could have heard. These little informal speeches in spired all who heard them with the determination to do more to help along the town than ever before. More towns suffer for want of con fidence on the part of business men and lack of public spirit than any other cause. When a man in search of a home or a business lo cation goes into a town and finds everything brim full of hope and enthusiasm of the prospects of the place, and all earnestly at work to build it up, he soon becomes im bued with the same spirit, and as a result he drives down stakes and goes to work with the same interest. On the other hand, when a man goes to a town where every one ex presses doubt and aj prehension for the future prosperity of the place, moping about and indulging in mournful complaints he naturally feels that it is no place for him, and he at once shakes the dust off his feet while he pulls out with all possible speed for some other place. Consequently we should all try to make a live, enterprising town out of Orangeburg. When we are work ing for or saying a good thing for our little city, we are really accom plishing all the more for ourselves. There is nothing that helps a town more than a good newspaper. It is the eyes through which outsiders see the town, in which it is published. That is one reason we endeavor to make The Times and Democrat sec ond to no county paper in this or any other State. How far we have succeeded we will jet others say. In order for a publisher to make a good newspaper he must have the patronage of the people among whom he lives. If he has halfway support it stands to reason that he must make a poorer paper, and in doing this every man in the town and sur rounding country ha6 to bear a por tion of the loss. We are pleased to say that The Times and Democrat has been lib erally supported in the city as well as in the country, 'and we have tried to deserve that support by endeavor ing to keep The Times and Democrat in the front rank of country papers. January one year ago we changed the paper from a weekly to a semi weekly, and that change proved so popular that this January we chang ed the paper from a semi-weekly to a tri-weekly, which we believe will prove even more popular than tho semi-weekly change. ' We mention Wiese steps of progress to show that it is our purpose to give the people the very best paper we can. So far, our latest change has been most enthusiastically received, and we be lieve that our most cherished am bition of having three thousand sub scribers will be realized at no dis tant- day. Upward and onward is our motto. Sycophancy That Misrepresents. The Montgomery Advertiser'says Editor Rafus N. Rhodes, of Birm ingham, in his gushing address Sat urday to Hon. W. H. '.i aft at Augus to,' Ga., may have spoken for him self, but it repudiates his utterances as representing the Democrats of Alabama and the Democrats of the I country. The Advertiser has no tolerance for such toadyism. Mr. Rhodes, thrown off his mental bal ance in the presence of the victo rious leader of the Republican par ty, took occasion to say: "Judge Taft, I am going to take ? advantage of this opportunity to say to you that if you knew the heart j and head of the men of the oouth, ] and particularly of Birmingham, you ] would know that they regard the ] result of the last election as a ben- ] eviction from God Almighty himseif ] to the people of the South, over ] their own protest." ] The Advertiser says it is not con- 1 tent to sit silent and let Mr. Rnodes 1 words be flashed over the entire ] country by the Associated Press and 1 read everywhere as they were as i utterances representative of South- 1 ern people. T^ey were a reflection 1 upon the united and determined Democrats who voted against the 3 Republican ticket a few weeks ago ' and who would do it again today. ; We do not propose to let the Dem- '? ocrats and the people of Alabama 1 be misrepresented because one gen- ? tleman wishes to do obeisance to tne rising sun. Awful Murder Record. According to the report of So licitor Cooper of the Eighta Judicial Circuit, which is composed of four counties, there were forty-two per sons tried for murder cases in Ab beville, five in Greenwood, fourteen in Laurens and seventeen in New berry. Of these four counties Green wood and Newberry have no dis pensaries, while Abbeville and Lau rens had dispensaries during the. period covered by the report. This is a fearful record for four counties, and should cause us to stop and consider our ways. The records of Newberry and Laurens counties are simply fearful. They adjoin each other and the people of the two counties seem to be more blood thirsty than their neighbors. New-! berry county, which heads the list: for murders, has been held up as a i model prohibition county, where the voting out of the dispensary had I done a great deal of good. If this be true, we shudder to think what the record in Newberry qounty would have been had the dispensary been retained. A calm, dispassion ate consideraiion pf the fearful murder report of the Eighth Cir cuit lead us to the conclusion that blind tiger whiskey makes people I more murderous than the whiskey I sold by the dispensary. Gotten Above Them. A Brooklyn working man writes to the New York World to say.:: "Yesterday you published the re sult of a visit by Judge Gary and friends to the Bowery Mission brea:l line, saying that all or nearly all of the unfortunates there in line were worthy of the charity. Just three days earlier you .published the results of. a visit by Commissioner Powderly in black headlines that the 'bread line was composed of bums.' It can not be possible for both these reports to be true. Whom shall we. believe? Judge Gary is well known to most of your readers, but who is Powderly? Is he the man who was once a working man himself, hailing from a machine shop at Scranton, later a labor agitator, still later head of the Knights of Labor, and who zo day holds a lucrative political job at the hands of the late Senator Quay? If these men are worthy they should not be classified as bums." Like a good many other working men who have gotten good fat plac es, Powderly in serving his masters has forgotten his old friends.
