Most of the folks in the up country think that most of our low coun try towns are innocent of brick houses. In grafting and business corpora tion frauds the wily Japanese seem to keep well, abreast of American civilization. The Calhoun Advance gives notice that no county official can bulldoze it, and so the bloodless war over in Calhoun goes merrily on. The true friend is he who is more ready to visit us in adversity than in prosperity. Fale friends forsake | when the tide is against us. An Anderson man used a patent medicine lotion to stop his hair from falling out. It turned his hair red and the Mail says now he doesn't care a cuss whether it falls out or not. News comes that northwestern Pennsylvania is -covered with snow ten inches deep and snow was still falling. We don't blame people living in such a country voting the Republican ticket. News from Turkey is to the effect that they are getting ready to try Abdul Hamid, the dethroned Sultan, before a constitutional court-martail. Abdul had better begin to bid his friends goodbye. The petroleum production of the United States in 19G8 has been esti mated at between 17o.000.000 and 180,000.000 barrels, an increase of five to nine per cent, as compared with the production of 166,000,000 barrels in 1907. No man lives to himself. In in numerable ways one comes into con tact with others and inflrr>nc:s them for good or bad. Duty and right feeling demand that we so live that the influence shed shall be a bless ing and not a curse. "Polygamy is the rule among all the tribes of southern Nigeria, the reason given by the natives being that it is impossible for one woman to do all the work of the house," said Captain F. A. Steel, of the Royal United Service Institute, London, the other day. A man who has an empty cup may rightly wish to have it filled, but the man with a full cup will do well to hold it firmly. In other words a man may rightly wish to become wealthy, but the man who has wealth needs to use it wisely and to learn the meaning of "enough." The Charleston Evening Post j I ?voices general sentiment when it j ' says "Clemson College now comes to |1 the front as an excuse for a vast j1 amount of controversy. Through It j1 all the institution will probably con- j tinue to graduate men well prepared to fight in the army of industry." |' A man was recently sentenced to prison for stealing a postage stamp. He was a most foolish man and should have known better. If he had stolen a railroad, or public lands or something else on an equally large scale, he would be banquetted right and left and held in highest honor by Wall Street. But to steal a post 's go stamp! Could human depravity go any lower? The recent gambling in wheat by which one man. through cornering the commodity, made a good sized j fortune, is additional evidence that i laws should be enacted to effectually make such transactions impossible. ] The rapid rise in wheat prices was Of no benefit to th-^ farmer, while it was a positive injury to the con-j sumer who has had to pay more for '. flour and bread. The province of Sackatchewan has followed the example of Alberta and Manitoba in buying out the Bell Tele phone Company. This form of gov ernment ownership seems to meet with growing favor, and the indica tions are that in most countries be fore many years have passed the gov ernment will own and operate the telephone and telegraph systems much as it now does the postoffice. Weston's great feat of walking from New York to San Francisco is likely to revive hiking. If it does so that people generally will do more walking he will prove a great bene factor to society. The pronounced habit in our cities of using street cars to go comparatively short d.s tances instead of walking may swei! th- profits of street car magnates but it is responsible for a good deal of Sickness. People confined to build ings all days by their business need the exercise that walking would give them. Su>s There Was No Fight. It seems to be a hard matter to find out the exact truth regarding that tax on potash. Congressman Lever has had several votes of thanks ten dered him for killing the tax, and now comes Mr. T. H. Daniel, the Washington correspondent of the Spartanburg Herald, and says there was never any fight of any sort in the house over the duty on potash. Mr. Daniel makes this statement in a letter to The Herald in reply to a communication from Mr. Lever, who complained that Mr. Daniel had not been fair to him. Mr. Daniel writes: The communication of Repre sentative Lever ?in The Herald of April 22 has just come to my at tention. Your editorial reply, printed in the same issue, was en tirely sufficient, of course, and de monstrates the poverty of ftccuse that Mr. Lever has offered for his voting directly contrary to the demand of the Democratic plat form of 1908 that lumber be plac en on the free list. However, with reference to his charge that I have been unfair to him in my dispatches, in that I did not give him credit for his "fight" for the farmer in. connec tion with basic slag and potash salts, there is something to be said I which Mr. Lever did not say, and I that is, that there was no such fight. The facts, briefly stated, are as follows: The third section of the Payne tafiff bill contained what is gener ally referred to as the "maximum and minimum" provision. Mr. Lever's own statement of the working of that provision is here given, so that it may not be con sidered as "unjust." "If Germamny, or any other country, for that matter, should, to secure some important treaty right, give the least concession up on the least article of trade, and to that extent discriminate against the United States, then the maxi- I mum duty automatically applies to imports from her." Potash salts were in the Payne bill, placed under the working of this provision. Eton J. Bowers, a representative from Mississippi, and others first called attention to it and it was immediately stated by the members of the ways and means committee, who had framed the bill, that it was an error and would be corrected, so that these articles should be absolutely upon the free list. Later Mr. Lever became active. He hunted up the newspaper men. and began to talk of the great fight in which he was engaged. He got into communication with prominent South Carolinians, and made them acquainted with his great struggle for the Southern farmer. He gave out interviews and made a speech on the floor of the house, protesting vehemently against, this provision of the Payne bill, which he called a "joker." All this be it remembered, was after it was positively known that the maximum and minimum pro vision was not intended to apply to potash salts or any other fer tilizer ingredients and there was positively no opposition to the cor rection of the error which had been discovered in the bill, placing these under that provision. In view of these facts I do not see where the "fight" came in, as it has always been my understanding that there must be two sides to a fight. The Anderson Mail says the above s in accord with information it has tad from other sources, and re narks that "Mr. Lever did not make iny great fight, over the duty on )Otash salts, because there was no leeessity for a fight, and he was not he first one to discover that through l mistake a duty had been placed on potash salts. He might never have known anything about it if other congressmen or representatives of the fertilizer companies had not call ed his attention to it. Mr. Lever is a clever fellow, and everybody that knows him likes him. but his friends do him a great injustice when they claim for him honor to { which h<? is not entitled. That J arouses the resentment of other eon- I pressmen and their friends. Mr. Lever should take his press agents in hand and tell them whep to puff? but more particularly when not to." It seems a hard matter to settle this matter. "Shatter the Solid South.' Mr. C. S. Barrett. President of j the Farmers' National Union, has an authorized interview in the May' Number of the Uncle Remus Maga zine in which he undertook to h lp a'ong the Republican program to "shatter the solid South." He at tacks partj regularity and fakes a crack at the Southern politicians. He also takes a shot at the Republi can tariff tinkers now at work in Washington, who are framing sched ules to rob the farmers of the South for the benefit of Northern manufac turers. From what he says we would infer that he is ready to sound a call to arms at the ballot box to protect the interest of the South, but he does not explain how an irregular, independent mass, each soldier act ing for himself, half voting the Re publican ticket and the other half split up into several warring factions, could present an effective front on any question of interest to the South, and particularly its political interests which are now on the hazard list at Washington. Mr. Barrett assumes that there will be those who dissent from his views, and he ?farts out to forestall them in these words: "Analyze those who object to my position with regard to Southern tolerance. The overwhelming majority will be found to be cold-blooded, incurable pap suckers, whom a broad thought would frighten into paralysis or in stant death. . . . Nine-tenths of thf criticisms of these policies will come from people who have spenl sleepless nights and days being 'regu lar' so they could get into the sweet and mossy fields of political clover."' We agree with the Macon Tele graph that there are thousands upon thousands of men in the South who are neither pap-suckers nor narrow headed, n?r intolerant, nor fools, who are Democrats from principle and who do not agree with Mr. Barrett. Without condoning or defending the faults of some Southern politicians, j there are thousands upon thousands who believe in Democracy, and who believe that the way to make their party effective is to make it a com pact organization, moving against the enemy as one man. They be lieve that the true method of politi cal effectiveness is to enter the party primaries and there fight out family -inferences, if there are any, and th?n, in the good old Democratic way, let the minority yield to the majority view as expressed at the primary polling places. There is no other plan under heaven whereby a political party can live and serve its use to the country. Neither the Farmers' Union, nor the church of God, could live without organization ?much less, therefore, could a po litical party. "Mr. Barrett also take? a crack at States' rights, and at the domi nant element in the South during the 5 0's and the 60's of the nine teenth century, into that vast fieid for discussion which has puzzled the greatest men of two ages and which caused rivers of blood 'j How and mints of treasure to flee, he hurls a javrlin. At a time when the thoughtful North, after a half cen ! tinry of cooline. is coming percepti bly nearer to the Southern view he ' nuts it all aside with a wave of the band, with making remarks about 'invoking ghosts.' about 'tradition' and 'Bourbonism.' and about, 'turning back the tide of political tolerance in the South.' "The Grange and the Farmers' Alliance split on this rock?the rock of politics. The leaders of those organizations had their heads turned by a sudden rise to power and popu larity as they thought. There was a rush for the political offices, big and little. The Farmers' Union started with a declaration that it was going to keep out of politics. So far it has succeeded. But wheth er justly or not. Mr. Barrett's at tack on the 'solid South,' his bitter words uttered against. Southern pol iticians, his thrust at State rights and at the 'ghosts' of the Confed eracy, will be understood by the gen eral public as being the forerunner of some political move on his own part, if it is not his intention to make the attempt to build a new par ty on the ruins which he and Mr. Julian Harris have wrought of the Democratic party." The cause of church union, which has for its object the amalgimation of denominations into one or two strong united bodies, has received a setback through the decision of , the Tennessee court relative to the disposal of the property of the Cum berland Presbyterian church, which 1 a few years ago was merged into the Presbyterian church. It is to J be noted that the decision is the re- I verse of that given in other States j where the same or similar question ? has arisen. Wofford College has again won the Greenwood oratorical contest. This year the nonor falls to Mr. Wallace Duncan DuPre of the senior class, [ a native of Spartanburg, the son of i Mr. Warren DuPre. and a grand-son j of the late Bishop W. W. Duncan. ? Out of the eleven contests Wofford ; College has won in five of them. 1 and' this year is' the third consecu- , tive victory for the college. Wofford j is to be congratulated.
