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."

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.

How Much Money Have You Paid Out For Rent? Have You Anything to Show for it Except Receipts?
Now, why not apply the mo ney you spend monthly for rent, as a payment on a home? Money invested in house rent receipts is npoor investment, and one that you will never derive any future benefit
from. .Anybody can pay rent, but it takes energy, economy and determination to own a home. We will lend yon the money to buy, build, improve homes, or lift mortgages anywhere.in the Union.
Cash Your Rent Receipts
This is exactly what we will do for you if you will follow our plun. We will lend you the money
to purchase a home and allow you to repay the loan in monthly installments with interest at 5 per cent
per annum, the combined monthly payment being less in reality than the rent you would pay, and in the
end you own your home and your rent receipts paid for it. Our plan is the most equitable ever devised.
You cannot afford to ignore it. Let us explain its splendid opportunities to you.
TERMS: 5 Per Gent. Simple Interest in
Yearly Contracts.
Monthly payments less than rent.
Ten and one-half year in wit ich to repay loan.
Privilege of paying oif at any time, thus stopping further interest.
Six month's grace in case of adverse circumstances.
For each $1,000.00 borrowed you pay us $7.50 per month, together with 5 per cent, interest on yearly balances; giv
ing you ten and a half years in which to repay the loan, with the privilege of taking up all notes or as many as you
wish at any time, and by so doing you would get a discount of the 5 per cent, interest on all notes taken up before
muturity. We allow six month's grace in case of adverse circumstances. Now why do you pay rent when our plan
will enable you to own a home with the money you spend for rent?
On receipt of this coupon properly filled out, we will mail you full particulars in regard to our method of loaning
money, or better still come to our office and let us explain to you our liberal proposition in detail.
If you want a home do not lay this paper aside until you
fill in the coupon and mail to us. It will bring you informa
tion that will show you how to turn an absolute loss into a
real profit.
