South Carolina is the largest man ufacturer of commercial fertilizer .n America. When a self-made man makes a fool of himself he robs some vornan of the job. Judge Taft says instead of his capturing the South, the South has ?captured him. No one can dream himself into ?character; he must hammer and forge it and that means hard work ?but it pays. Just a little over one month from now Teddy will step down and out. One hundred guns ought to be fired in honor of the occasion. The Atlanta Journal says Presi dent Roosevelt has been a true friend of the South. Now what does The News and Courier think of that? Some newspaper refers to Teddy's ninety-mile ride through sleet and rain as a fool caper. It Is not the first fool caper Teddy has cut by long odds. The railroad wreck in Colorado was another awful catastrophe that has brought sorrow and sadness in the homes of a number of good American citizens. To absorb all that one may ac quire from reading and travel and not to impart any of that knowledge for the benefit of others is nothing hut refined selfishness. The man who is always going to J do and never does amounts to but little in this life. What the world wants is not mere intention, how ever good, but action. The United States District Attor neyship should come to Orangeburg. We can furnish the man that will fill Judge Taft's requirements as set forth in his Atlanta speech exactly. Now matter how lowly the call ing, so long as it is honorable, in which one is engaged, he glorifies labor, secures self-respect and that of others when he works efficiently. If Judge Taft really meant what he said in that Atlanta speech, Florence will get a new postmaster. So the colored man that is now hold ing the job may as well hunt another. Oklahoma is weeping because she has found, after one year's trial, prohibition does not prohibit. The Brunswick Journal says Georgia has found it out, too, but you don't see her weeping any, do you? The Savannah News says Aiken county, South Carolina , is mighty pleased with the Georgia prohibition law. She is building' a system of good roads with the profits of her North Augusta dispensary sales made to Georgians. A man's life is to be measured as to its duration not by years but by character. As the Arabs well says, "A wise man's day is worth a fool's life." Length of days is not vouch safed to every one, but the ability to live well is. Charleston blind tigers paid over $32,000 into the city treasurer dur ing the past year. The Herald says from the numerous brood in Augusta" it would seem to be an easy matter to make them do as well well there, if justice be not tempered too much with mercy. The Augusta Herald says: "Senr ator Tillman, like Governor Haskell of Oklahoma, promise's to give Ted dy fits later on. But Haskell is for getting to make good this promise, and perhaps Tillman will prove equally forgetful.'5 Not a bit of it. Nothing will save Teddy from the lambasting of his life but a failure of Senator Tillman's health. A number of State legislatures are now in session, and it is safe to say that many trust corporation and railroads, with a very vivid remem brance of past legislative action, will be on the anxious seat for the next few months. Still they may take comfort in the thought that If they have and do act fairly, they have nothing to fear, for as a rule our legislatures are fairminded and rea sonable. A Friend of Our Youth. The Charleston Post says: "H. J. Moroso has resigned bis position as proofreader of The News and Courier and taken a place with the printing house of the Walker, Evans & Cogs well Company. Mr. Moroso recently resigned his position with The News and Courier, after a service of twenty-two years. During this long term he served the newspaper well and faithfully, earning a reputation in newspaperdom for the thorough ness and efficiency of his work. While his colaborers were sorry to have him leave his desk at the newspaper office, they rejoice that he has secured a more remunerative position, with more desirable hours of labor, and their best wishes at tend him." The above paragraph awakes in us the happy, never-to be-forgotten days that are not to come again, when "Jeff," as we use to know him, and the Editor of The Times and Democrat were associat ed together on the old Charleston Courier. That was nearly forty years ago, and, as we call over in memory the names of the other loved associates who use to help make that old paper, few, very few, answers to roll call. AU gone! But Jeff, dear old Jeff, answers, but, like us, the lengthening shadows warn him to seek a more senne har bor, where the waters are not so turbulent and boisterous. Here's good luck to you, Jeff! May time deal gently with the loved friend of our youth, and, when at last, we, too, must cease from our loved em ploy, may we join the loved ones of the long ago in that land where sor row and parting is no more. Fertilizer Industry. The Greenville News says "accord ing to statistics gathered by the United States Department of Agri culture the manufactured fertilizers consumed in ten Southern States during the past seven years was two and three-quarter million tons, or an increase of nearly a hundred per cent from 1901 to 1908. In South Carolina the consumption in 1901-2 amounted to 302,335 tons. It amounted to 585,985 tons in 1907-8. South Carolina is the larg est manufacturer of commercial fer tilizer in America, and ranks second among the Southern States in the amount consumed. Comparatively few people fully appreciate the im mensity of the fertilizer industry In this State. It is interesting to note in this connection that South Caro lina was the pioneer in the phosphate mining and manufacturing industry." A Thrifty Yankee. George L. Lllley has been inaugu rated Governor of Connecticut, but he is still sitting as a member of the House of Representatives. As the Charleston Evening Post puts it, "He doesn't believe in letting go of one good thing simply because he has attained another. He has de termined, it is said, to hang on to his office in Congress until the ex piration of his term, and to repre sent his district in Washington at the sarnie time that he acts aa Gov ernor of the State. That is what might have been expected of Lilley. He isn't wanted in the House, which rebuked him in a manner that would have humiliated any other man be cause of his unfounded accusations against his colleagues of improper interest in submarine boat affairs, and, if he had any delicacy of feel ing he would have been glad to with draw himself from such unwelcome association. But he will hold on to everything he can, and so he is both Governor of and Representative from Connecticut. A fine figure of a Yankee Republican is Mr. Lilley." Money to Lend.

Getting Rrady for Gardening. ?Now is the time when the subur banite with a small garden spends hours p?ring over seed catalogues with their bewildering descriptions of seeds and their highly colored pic tures of gorgeous flowers and mam moth vegetables which he fondly hope to match when the summer comes. Of course a few weeks work in the garden dispels the illusion, but it is delightful while it lasts. And anyway, even if the amateur gardner's dreams are not altogether realized the pure air, exercise and modest returns of gardening promote health and comfort and save many a doctor's bill. HANDS CRACKED Itched and Burned Terribly?Arms Affected, Too?Could Not Move Thumbs Without Flesh Cracking ?Sleep and Work Often Impos sible?Was Fairly Worn Out. CUTICURA SOON CURED HIS FEARFUL ECZEMA "About a year ago an itching humor began to appear around the back of my hand. It started in to spread, and pretty soon it covered both my hands and got up over my wrists and even up to the elbows. The itching and burning were terrible. My hands got all scaly and when I scratched, as I was doing a good part of the time, the surface would be covered with blisters and then get raw. The eczema got so bad in around the pit of my thumbs that I could not move the thumbs without deep cracks appearing. I went to my doctor, but his medicine could only 3top the itching and did not seem to heal my hands up at all. At night I suffered so fearfully that I could not sleep, often lying awake until well toward morning, then waking uo still tired. I am a chef and steward by trade and I had to give up my place, as my hands were so terrible to look at that they did not like to have me around about the food. I could not bear to touch thorn with water, but when I positively had to get my hands clean I would rub them with oil. "This sort of business went on for three months and I kept trying zinc and tar ointments and such remedies with no particular benefit. I did not know what to do, for I was fairly worn out. For a long time several friends kept asking rae why I didn't use Cuti oura and at last I thought I would. First I got the Cuticura Soap, then Cutioura Ointment and at last Cuticura Resolvent. I put the Cuticura Oint ment on at night, covaring my hands with light cotton gloves. In the morn ing the inside of the gloves would be lined with scales, sometimes half as lonj as your finger, leaving nice healed places where the scales had been. In a month I was cured and have kept so now for nine months. My hands and arms are perfectly clear of all traces of eczema and I think I am well rid of it. Walter H.
