Remitances should be made by checks, money orders, registered let ters, or express orders, payable to The Times and Democrat, Orange burg, S. C. Shooting on the strets should be stopped before some one is seriously hurt. The punishment for carrying con cealed weapons is too light. It should be made more severe. If the Southern farmer will only resolve to make what he eats on his own place he will not need any advice or help from any source. In our work no endowments how ever great and many can be a sub stitute for honesty and devotion. Without them work is poorly done and life itself is a failure. Just about planting time cotton goes up in price materially. Some think that this is done to induce the farmers to put in a big cotton ?rop. We hope the farmers won't let it fool them. An old negro preacher, named Sample, seventy-five years old, com mitted suicide at .Batesburg last Saturday. He gave no excuse for the rash act. He had lived long enough to have had better sense. The number of suicides that are reported in the daily papers from day to day is simply appalling. We are living entirely too fast, and when some fellow fails to keep up with the procession he kills himself. Castro is having a hard time to get to Venezuela, where, it seems, he is not wanted very badly. Cas tro will have to make the trip home from the other side of the ocean iu an air ship or stay where he is. We cannot avoid seeing the faults of others, but we can and ought avoid all' needless observance of them. If we are inclined to be un charitable it may serve as a check to remember that we have faults of our own. What are the farmers doing to carry out the plans of their union in reference to the cotton question. Another big crop means six cents cotton, and the farmers would do well to keep this in view while they are planting the crop. The effect of prosperity upon in dividuals is not uniform; it may make one person generous and anoth er selfish. In the first instance it is a blessing, in the other a curse. One effective way of getting rid of oue's own troubles is to help others who are afflicted. Influence is both conscious and unconscious and oftentimes the un conscious Influence is the greater. The word or act unconsciously spok en or done may be fraught with con sequences of which we may never dream and which we may never know. What a pity it is that some of the good things said about men ?fter their death were not said to them or of them when they were living. What a cheer and inspira tion they would have been to many souls struggling with adverse con ditions of life. Cotton has gone to ten cents for the first time in many months. This is much less than it is really worth to the world, but then the world will buy it just as cheaply as it can, and we can hardly blame it as we would do the same. The farm ers will remember this when they pitch their crop. An old writer once said in effect that freemindedness, cheerful dis position, regularity of hours of meals, steep and exercise best en sures long life and health. Not withstanding the theories, nostrums and fads our present day has brought forth to promote health and long evity the old formula still holds good. The constant striking of the clap per upon one spot of a bell is said to affect its tone to such an extent that in course of time the bell has to be taken down, sent to the factory and returned. In like manner the constant hammering and rough us age of the world will affect the life of any man unless at times he realiz es and brings counteracting forces into play. The country sincerely mourns the death of Cervera, the Spanish Admi ral who led his -ships to defeat against Schley's fleet. He was a gal lant, ohivalrous fighter and that his ships made so poor a showing was more hie misfortune than his fault. Poorly trained crews and ships in poor condition because of official in competency contributed to his de How Will Universal Peace Come? That the "parliament of man" and universal peace and brotherhood be tween nations is yet in the far dis tance must be obvious to all. A man who invents a quick firing gun, a new explosive, a torpedo, or some other man killing device can get the ear of any government far more readily than the man who has a life saving invention. Just now the craze is for big bat tleships of the Dreadnought type. England sets the pace and other nations follow, and very recently Great Britain was thrown into a panic and voted many ? additional millions of dollars because it was learned that Germany was building a number of Dreadnoughts and plan ning to build more. Such a vessel costs millions of dollars and it be comes obsolete in three or four years. Thinking men are asking hev; it is going to end, and finance min isters and secretaries of the treasury are at their wits end in Europe to raise the money with which to build, j The burden rests upon the people, whose taxes have been enormously increased in recent years, and it is : plain that before very long some of I the nations will face bankruptcy and j then perhaps sheer financial exhaus-. tion may compel them to halt in their mad race. That universal peace will come we do not doubt; the only uncertain ? thing is the method by which it will come. Will it be by the acceptance j of right principles, or by the adop tion of arms, guns, etc., of so de-' structive a character that war will become impossible, or by the bank ruptcy of nations? Perhaps a de cade or two more will decide. Gj? ne of Bluff. Servia has just had a humiliating experience in being compelled to acquiesce in the annexation of Bosi na and Herzegovina by Austria. When Austria first made its inten tion known Servia called out her troops, protested against the annexa- i tion and threatened war. Of course \ a small kingdom like Servia, un assisted by a larger power would have not the slightest chance against the dual monarchy. This was so j obvious that it was generally felt I that some nation, presumably Rus sia, was backing her. There is no doubt that Russia and Austria are jealous of each other and sooner or later they will probably engage in conflict for supremacy in the near east. But Russia is not at present in any condition for war and if she | encouraged Servia to protest and threaten against Austria it must have been a game of bluff which did not succeed, and now Servia , knows the humiliation of defeat and . the bitterness of relying upon a pro fessed friend that does not make good. Uncle Sam Did Right. The United States Government has done the right thing in refusing the request of the Russian govern ment that Pouren, the revolutionary refugee, be extradited and he is now set free after being in prison for ' nearly eighteen months. Many of the methods employed by the revo lutionary party n Russia in their desperate efforts to secure liberty may be repugnant to our American ideas, but then conditions in Russia are such as could never exist in this country, and that makes a dif ference. The Russian government, . though by courtesy called civilized, is nothing but a semi-barbarous or ganization ruling by legal murder, repression and ignorance. There fore any request it makes for the extradition of men whom it has goaded into rebellion by its cruelty ' is not likely to be honored by Ameri- . ca. Incidentally, and yet very sug gestiveiy, the refusal by our gov- -: ernment to deport Pouren is a sharp rebuke to the Russian government. Need More of Them. That men in the conduct of their business are not influenced by moral considerations is an idea widely spread and it has become strength ened because of the well known ac tions of some large corporations. But it is clear that not all large business firms are indifferent to the welfare of humanity. Instances con stantly arise to prove this. Among the latest is the action of the great English cocoa firms of Cadjbury, Fry and Rowntree and the large German chocolate firm of Stollwerck who have notified the Portguese gov ernment that as it has not fulfilled its oft repeated promise to improve labor conditions on its cocoa planta tions of Sao Thome and Principe, j they will buy no more of the cocoa J produced there. The world needs more such men as these. It is en couraging to know we have at least a few of them. Good and Safe Leader. Such men as John Mitchell are the very best kind of leaders for the working meu and that this is realiz ed by them is seen In the affectionate regard the miners have for the man who wisely led them during the great strike seven years ago, and who so constantly gives them good counsel. As an Instance take one of his latest utterances in which he truly said that "if the shorter day has given the miners more time for drink and depravity It is a curse; but if it has given them more time for their families and for books, it is a godsend." Such words coming from him have great weight with the men and it is cheering to know j that to the great mass of them the | shorter day is a benefit. Men like | Mitchell and Gompers are worth a thousand such traitors as Powderly j and Kelley who sold out the working ! men for good positions in the gov ernment. Mrs. Mamie Bishop. Long after a beautiful life is gone To that fair world on high, 1 Our lives are bright with its linger ing light, For a true life cannot die. Thus we feel in regard to the passing away of our beloved Mamie, who was called to enter the pearly gates on April the 4th, 1908. Al though a year or more has elapsed since her death, she is present in our memory today as on the day that brought such great sorrow to many hearts. She is not dead, but liveth; and is only another link drawing our minds from earth to heaven and to those that sit with Jesus. She was a devoted member of the Bowman Baptist church, and pos sessed that quality that goes to make a true Christian woman?loving and tender in all her duties. She was a true mother; her lit tle children found in her a coun sellor from all their small troubles, because mother was never too busy to stop and cheer them when needed. She was loved and respected by many friends. We loved her?yes, we loved her, But angels loved her more. And they have sweetly called her To yonder shining shore. ( The golden gates were opened, A gentle voice said come in. Now, dear ones, let us look upward To Him who can hea! the broken heart. Why should our tears in sorrow flow When God recalls His own And bids them leave a world of woe For an immortal crown? ? Then let our sorrow cease to flow; God has recalled His own, But let our hearts in every woe Still say, Thy will be done. HER MOTHER. Estate Notice. All persons having claims against the estate of J.
