Men seldom accomplish anything to which they put their hand until the thought concerning it becomes a master passion. The Nashville American thinks it can trace the cause of the prolong ed cool weather to the Memphis dig nitary, who, upon one occasion, post poned the fourth of July. The Shah of Persia is said to have granted the country a new popular constitution. It seems to us that Persia gets a new constitution every few months. She will soon have quite a stock on hand. It is not easy to climb in any pur suit of iife and the higher one gets the harder it becomes. But think of the compensation that comes in greater ex^ellenqe, knowledge and success. When we read of jealous or other people murdering sweethearts and wives and then committing self-de struction we cannot but wish that the suicide had come first. It would save in each case at least one life. Two Frenchmen fought a duel in New Jersey recently. The singular thing about it is that one of them was killed. Usually French duels are bloodless or nearly so. Perhaps the change of scene and climate is responsible for the tragedy. The- Augusta Chronicle says; "Senator Bailey looks on the peni tentiary, both as a cure and a pre ventive of malefactors of great wealth?and it sounds like sense." William Jennings Bryan advocated the-pinitentiary as a cure for trusts some fifteen years ago. "If Johnson goes into the ring with me I'll batter him beyond rec ognition and make him beg for mer cy," said James J. Jeft'eries." We confess to no race pride whatever when it comes to the prize ring. If Jeffries and Johnson meet we do not care a snap - which one knocks the other out. ?Let not the tongue be profaned with slander. If the temptation comes to offend others in this way see to it that a iock be placed upon the ups. blander, Hike *411 evils, j injures most the person that utters | it, for while it may work harm to others it rebounds with double force upon the slanderer. Senator Bacon of Georgia demon strated in his recent speech on tariff revision that "protection" extorts from the consumer $7 to every dol lar it carries to the national treas ury. Yet, we believe, Senator Bacou is in favor of a duty on lumber, which the State says is one of the worst items of a tariff devision to rob the people in the interest of the/ trusts. The data furnished by various in stitutions for feeble minded people prove that work is one of the very best things for them in that it stim ulates them physically and mentally, in like manner work is also of inl calcuable value to the man who is mentally and physically strong. The idle man becomes reckless, discon tented, and physically flabby. Work, apart from lits productive value, keeps men out of mischief and pro motes health, contentment and hap piness. A certain authority says that the man who "does not provide for his family is worse than an infidel." The same may with equal truth be said of the man who does not stand by bis own town. To speak dispar agingly of one's town, to point out its shortcomings and be silent as to its iiK-rits, to trade elsewhere and care not if the home merchants starve, to complain of the men in Oltice and do nothing to help put good men in?all this is unpatriot ic and is the same in character if not in degree with the action of men who constantly praise other coun tries at the expense of their own. It is said that the population of the new town of Messina in Italy is likely to suffer an outbreak of dis ease because of the utter ueglect of sanitation. If such does occur the survivors will probably say it was the will of God and the workings of mysterious providence. This fashion of throwing the responsi bility on the Almighty is not un known in this country. Many fam ilies have dirty cellars and premises that invite sickness, and when it does com2 and some of the family die they wonder why it happened and begin to question the goodness of the Supreme Being. An Example For Us. The British budget this year pro vides for the taxing of the unearned increment of the value of land to the extent of one-fifth of that in crement. In this the principle of Henry George's land tax doctrine has been adopted in part. Of course the great land owners and nobility of England make loud lamentation over it and doubtless think that the coun try is going to the dogs. Yet they have but themselves to blame for the tax. In countries like England where the amount of land is limited and the population dense the large areas of land devot ed to great parks and demaining unimproved work great injury and is largely responsible for the desti tution of great masses of the peo ple. If this land were put under cultivation employment would be found for many thousands and Eng land would not be so dependent upon other countries for its food supply. But the land lies idle and the wealthy landowners who see the val ue of that land increase through no action of their own have paid but little taxes upon it while other peo ple' have had to bear the burden As an instance there is the great park around Cardiff castle. It is situated right in the heart of the city, and is rated at only $4,600 a year while a tailor's shop 20 yards away is rated at $4,750 The British government proposes to at least partially remedy such an abuse and though the landowners are cursing the government for it the nation has good reason to re joice. The condition that England is remedying exists in many Ameri can cities and towns In all of them nearly rich people own valuable lo's that they will neither improve or sell. They pay little or no tax on these valuable lots. England meets this condition by heavily taxing these vacant places which will be done in this country sooner or later. Eng land taxes all alike. Just now she is after her rich tax dodgers with a sharp stick. Fulfilling of a Prophecy. A few days prior to the national election last November the Louisville Courier-Journal printed the follow ing editorial: "Flying the. flag of Roosevelt the Republican leaders have made their peace with the sys tem. From Rockefeller to Carnegie, from Harriman to Corey, every chieftain of wealth and predatory wealth, the honest too often making common cause with the dishonest, is well content with Taft and Sher niau. They foretoken and imply the old order of special privilege to the few, impositions of every sort to the many; high finance rampant; higher tariff, 'revised by its friends,' ram pant; the end of Rooseveltism and agitation 'for the good of business'? business only organized capital and licensed monopoly; the same old story, the same old song, the same old crowd slicked over with goose grease from the Roosevelt larder, but meaning four years more of the ras caldom which Roosevelt has unmaks ed but not downed; which Roosevlt has exposed, but It ft intact; which, :n spite of Roosevelt and all his works, stands today as impudent and as defiant as ever it stood, a gray wolf lording it over the senate, a gray wolf lording it over the house, and two gray wolves, Sherman and Sheldon, 'Sunny Jim' and 'Black George,' giving tone and effect to the ticket. Should any thoughtful Democrat, should any patriotic American, should auy honest man, balk oi his duty before such a lay out?" For a fulfillment of the above prophecy, ruaJe by Henry Wattsr son, one has only to read the tariff debates in Congress, and they will ;oon see that the Republican party still believes in the doctrine of "special privileges to the few and impositions of every sort on the many." How long, oh, how long, 1 will the American people allow themselves robbed by the agents of the thieves? Trouble in France. The gravity of political and in dustrial conditions in France is gen :rally recognized. That the French government liaj decided to lock hums with syndicalism and force a crisis indicates that the situation is extremely dangerous and that if it is allowed to continue it might force the government from power and pre cipitate a revolution, it also im plies that the government feels itself strong enough to master the situa tion if dealt with at once. It is to be hoped it may. During the 3u years the republic has lasted it has weathered many hard storms the most dangerous of which were the reactionary attitude of Presi dent McMahon and Boulangerisni. Iu its ability to surmount those cris es the republic revealed a strength and the nation a stability that was a surprise to the- world. It is this tact which leads the world to be lieve that tiie present difficulty will be overcome That the government has made serious mistakes in its attitude to wards the church and to the cause of religion generally must be admit ted and this adds to the perplexity and danger, for it means that in their desire to upset the government the reactionary forces in rural districts are willing to strike hands with the revolutionary element in the cities. Altogether the nex; lew wociC? t>;jm ise to be full of interest to the French nation. Now is the time, says the Amcri can Farmer, the traveler along the j country road may catch a glimpse of anture In the height of enjoy- j ment. Just a stream, a man and a fishing rod. "What luck?" we cry as we pass, and for answer, may hap, a string of shining fish is raised for our approval, and mayhap only a patient shake of the head and a sort of waiting smile. The Jacksonville Times-Union says "A more equitable division of tar iff duties would largely increase rev enues, reduce the cost of living and give us cheaper clothes." That is true, but, as the Augusta Herald says, it wouldn't allow the protected manufacturers to skin the people, and that is what a protective tariff is for. HendersonviUe has elected a Re publican Mayor and two Republican aldermen. The election ought to he held in the summer when the town is full of good South Carolina Democrats, and it would always go right. The alto isn't always content to sing for low wages. WHERE OUR PEOPLE LIVE. Thirteen States Hold One-Third of the Population. Of the S8,000,000 people in the United States, Alaska included, about one-third live in the 13 original States, according to a report by the Bureau of Statistics of the Depart ment of Commerce and Labor. Another third live in the States cre ated from the territory ceded to the common union by the original States and the remaining third in the area added by purchase or annexation. While a large share of the terri tory in the United States has come under cultivation or individual own ership, the figures show that in-1908 thsre were 754,$95,000 acres of un appropriated and unreserved land, of which almost one-half was in Alaska, 61,1 77,000 acres in Nevada; 46,532,000 in Montana; 44,778,000 in New Mexico, and 42.709,000 in New Mexico, and 42,709,000 in Ari zona. Of swamp and overflow lands there ana about 75.000,000 acres in the country, of which IS,500,000 acres are in Florida, Louisiana coming next, with about half that amount. The total number of immigrants into the country since 1S20, the year of earliest record, exceeds 26,000, 000. In 1905, 190G and 1907 the number averaged more than 1,000, 000 a year. * Wanted?A contractor to build a church at Jerusalem near Elloree, S. C. Call on Rev. A. L. Lesley, or Dr. A. C.

Little Sufferer in Ter rible Plight?Several Treatments of No Avail ?But at Last the DREADFUL DISEASE IS CURED BY CUTICURA "Mr six year old daughter had the dreadful disease called hives for two months. She became affected by play ing with children who had it, although we did not know it. By scratching she caused large sores which were irritating. Her body was a complete sore but it was worse on her arms and back. We em ployed a physician who left medicine but it did not help her and I tried sev eral remedies but without avail. Soe ' ing the Cuticura Remedies advertised, I thought I would try them. I gave her a hot bath daily with Cuticura Soap and anointed her body with Cuticura Ointment. The first treatment relieved the itchinp; and in a short time the dis ease disappeared. I recommend the Cuticura Remedies for all skin diseases and give them mv greatest praise. Mrs. Geo. L.

Better Not Get Dyspepsia If you can help it Kodol prevents Dyspepsia, by effectually helping Nature to Relieve Indigestion* But den't trifle with Indigestion. A great many people who have trifled with indigestion, have been sorry for it?when nervous or chronic dyspepsia resulted, and they have not been able to cure it. Use Kodol and prevent having Dyspepsia. Everyone is subject to indig's tlon. Stomach derangement follows stomach abuse, just as naturally and just as surely as a sound and healthy stomach results upon the taking of Kodol. When you experience sourness of stomach, belching of gas and nauseating fluid, bloated sensation, gnawing pain in the pit of the stomach, heart burn (so-called), diarrhoea, headaches, dullness or chronic tired feeling?you need Ko dol. And then the quicker you take Kodol?the better. Eat what you want, let Kodol digest it. Ordinary pepsin "dyspepsia tab lets," physics, etc., are not likely to be of much benefit to you, in digestive ailments. Pepsin is only A. C. Dukes and A. C. Doyle a partial digester?and physics aiw not digesters at all. Kodol is a perfect digester. IJ you could see Kodol digesting every particle of food, of all kinds, in the glass test-tubes in our laboratories, you would know this just as well aa we do. Nature and Kodol will always cure a sick stomach?but in order to be cured, the stomach must rest. That, is what Kodol does?rests the stomach, while the stomach gets well. Just as simple as A, B, C.
