Senator Tillman is getting ready to give Teddy *he best roasting he ever got. Our voting contest is getting quite lively, and before the time is out it will be red hot. If there are any blind tigers in Orangeburg county they should be run down and put out of business. Governor Ansel attended the Taft banquet at Augusta on Wednesday night, and to his credit be it said he did not slop over in his appropri ate little sepech. Prohibition will be the entering wedge to split the Solid South. It caused the Democrats to lose two congressional districts in North Car orlina and reduced the Democratic majority in other Southern States. The newspapers that every day visits hundreds of homes, and is looked upon by its readers as a reali ble friend and adsiser, is the medium through which the wide awake busi ness man will speak to the people. There is going to be rupture be tween Taft and Roosevelt before the former is in office six months. Taft is going to be President and not wear Roosevelt's collar as some thought he would. If what "Native" says in the Wal terboro Press and Standard be true of conditions at Smoaks, we ar^ in clined to agree with him that night riders are needed in that section of Colleton county. A colored preacher at Suffolk. Va., murdered another colored preacher so as he could get a call to his church. No doubt this is the first time in the history of this country where murder was commit ted to get rid of a preacher. So far as the white Republicans who are holding office in South Car olina are concerned, no one has any objection to them, unless it be some so-called Democrats who are anxious to aid Mr. Taft break the solid South by holding these offices themselves. We hope Judge Taft will not for get all the good things he has been saying about the South when he is inducted into his high office. There are many ways in which he can help us, and we hope he will not forget to do these things when he is Presi dent. Talk about the electric road is be ing revived. We have never doubt ed but what this road would be built sometime, and we are not surprised at it being agitated again. This road would mean a great deal to this section, and we hope to see it built in the next few years. Judge Taft is going to try and break the Solid South by appointing so-called Democrats to office who will help him do it. For cur part, we have a great deal more respect and confidence in the present Republican office holders in the South than we would have in such so-called Dem ocrats. The prosperity promised by the Republicans just before the Presi dential election don't seem to be forthcoming. It was claimed that the election of Mr. Taft spelled pros perity for our farmers, but the low price that has prevailed for cotton since that event has taught the farmers better. The shops of the Norfolk and Western Railway at Roanoke. Va.. have closed down, throwing four teen hundred men out of employ ment. Similar action is being taken by other railroads in other parts of the country. It only shows that ante-election promises of prosperity don't coun for much. The Hamberg Herald says, "In his address at the Methodist church last Sunday night, Rev. J. L. Hurley stated that he had been told by Dis pensary Auditor West that there were more blind tigers in dispensary counties than there were in dry counties." If Auditor West made any such statement as this, be ought to give the facts to the public. Some of the newspapers that ridi culed Chief Justice Pope for his de cision in the Jones case of I'nion now say his resignation is a great loss to the State. We do not be lieve any such nonserse. Judge Pope is an elegant, lovable old gen tleman, but his day of usefulness is passed, and he has the good sense to know it. None of us can withstand the raveges of old Father Times. Maine in Prohibition. Maine is the pioneer prohibition State. Many years ago, while in the States which are the present theatre of the greatest prohibition activity no restriction of the liquor traffic was thought of, the good people of Maine conceived the idea of banish ing thirst by legislative enactment. Then they passed a prohibition law. They attempted to enforce it and found it a difficult matter. These ef forts to enfocre a law determinedly resisted by others who did not ap prove it kert the State iu perpetual turmoil, to the injury of its other interests. Then it was thought to end all this by making prohibition a part of the State constitution, but even this did rot end the strife, which continued to be a disturbing factor in the State. And now, after years of attempted prohibition and law evasion, after all this wrangling and unenviable notorieyt, a special committee of the legislature reports that prohibition is a failure, and recommends that the sale of liquor be made a State monopoly. In commenting on the above the Augusta Herald says, "Here is what may be expected in other States that are now adopting prohibition. They are fifty years behind Maine, but they are certain to travel the same road, have the same experience, and finally reach the same conclusion, that prohibition is not practicable. That it is, not even the most vio lent prohibitionists must admit. There never was a prohibition law passed that did not make exemp tions. Drug stores were allowed to sell liquor, under certain conditions, if this right was denied to everybody else. To allow anybody to sell liquor was recognizing the fact that the sale could not be entirely pro hibited. Then what is called pro hibition is not prohibition but reg ulation, and to call it prohibition is a misnomer. If this fact were only realized the various States would be spared all this prohibition agitation and attempted prohibition legisla tion. The effort would be to adopt the proper regulation, and where no false issues were involved this would not seem such a difficult matter. "It is to be hoped that our State will be spared two generations of bootless wrangling, as has been the experience of Main, before we shall learn that prohibition does not pro hibit, and that to try to enfocre what is a natural impossibility is not only effort wasted but a stumbling block in the way of the proper so lution of this question. We are now locally experiencing in their worst form the evils that follow the at tempted enforcement of prohibition law. Our courts are loaded with blind tiger cases. The community is distracted with these trials and the issues they raise, to an extent almost equal to a hot political cam paign. Of course blind tigers who violate the law should be punished, but it is almost impossible to con vict them. Not 25 per cent can be convicted, and these will think that they have been badly treated. But it will not stop the sale. Greater vigilance on the part of the officers and greater severity on the part of the. courts will lead to greater cau tion on the part of the blind tigers, and so it will go on, always a tur moil, but always liquor to be bought by those who want it and have the price, and often the very meansest and most injurious and most danger ous kind."

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me. I suffered from a female disease and weakness which the doc tors said was caused by a fibroid tumor, and I commenced to think there was no help for me.

Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound."?Mrs. Willie Edwards.
