The dog disnsiion has become "fierce,'" as Happy Hooligan would President Taft denies that he will veto the tariff bill that will be passed by one Aldrich. St. Matthews, Mke most people, fir:d it very hard to pay the fiddler at'ter the dance is: over. The only course of honor and safe ty for Democrats representing their party in Congress is to stand by the party platform on which they were elected. It seems that one Jim Farrium was the whole push in the old State dispensary. He seems to have been the choice cash handler. In the death of Coi. A. K. Mc C!?:re. of Philadelphia, the South loses a good friend who stood by her in the dark reconstruction days. We publish ou the fourth page Mr. Smoak's reply to Mr. Wannamak er. Mr. Smoak talks right out in meeting as he generally does. His letter is right long, but not dull. Read it. It seems that the talks made from the bench by the Judges holding court at St. Matthews about fine court houses to influence the country people to vote bonds to build one at that place, were more or less in spired by "prominent" citizens. W. H. Sellers, the "blind tiger king." recently acquitted in Colum bia of murdering Constable Farmer, could have saved himself a big lawyer's fee if he had only known that the Judge before whom he was tried was going to rule sO unanimous ly in his favor. If we are in order we would sug gftjt that the people of Calhoun county take a vote on coming back into the old mother. We will assure them if they' come back they will uever be called on to vote any bonds to build a new court house or for any other purpose. French capitalists are turning to Canada as a field for investment. Their experience with Russia in which they have invested thousands of. millions of dollars has been far i from profitable and naturally they j turn to countries where the prospect is more invitiug. On sentimental grounds as well as financial they will probably find Canada with its rapid development of resources, enterprise, ind stable institutions far more to their liking. The people of Orangeburg, who were accused of all manner of cusseduess by the promoters of Cal houn county, certainly enjoy the washing of "dirty linen" that is now wing on in St. .Matthews. Mr. Smoak. as an honest man, can't suppress his indignation about the proposition for the country people to vote $30,000 to build a court bouse and jail, which the town of S;.. Matthews said it would build if the country people would vote ;o forjm the *.ew county. Read his a tide on the fourth page. Any newsaper that charges the Columbia State with "rooting for the gold standard in the face of a free coinage plank in the Democratic platform of 1 Si)G could not have been a reader of The State about that time ?;r has suffered a lapse o'" memory. Times and Democrat was for free stiver, and we remember to this day with what pleasure we use to read the able editorials of the late N. G. Gonzalez in defence of the free coin age plank of the Chicago platform. He was oue of the ablest and most logical defenders of that platform He silenced more than one writer who attacked through his paper the uemocratic contention for the free coinage of silver. In disci sing the proposition for the count./ people to vote $30.000 to help/ build a court hnns?? and iail at St. Matthews. Mr. A. K. Smoak charges that there is a veiled effort to deceive the people, an*? in timates that, unless something is done promptly the country will have the court house and jail to build. He quotes Judge Watts as saying that the town of ST. Mathews canuot legally be Ixmdod for a court house and jail. We have heard a sood many of the country people of Ci'Jhoun county express themselves about the matter, and unless they vote very different from the way they f;?lk. they will never vote to bond the county to build a court house and jail. So if the St. Matthews people want them they hnd better igo down in their jeans and build them. Advice to a Young Friend. So your school days are over and before going from home to enter business you wish some advice from the paper you have read since you wore a little boy. You are the only young Knight going out into the world that has asked counsel ox us, but there may be others like you, so we vesture to publish our sngges tioui that can do no harm and may be some help. 1st. Be slow to form confidential friendships with strangers. A man is judged by the company be keeps. There is a homely old saying that one can not lie down with dogs and get up without fleas. Bud habits are just as contagious, catching, as small pox. measles and scarlet [ever. 2nd. Be careful of health. You will need all your young vigor be fore you get through life. Sleep eight hours a night, eat enough but not too much and take enough exer cise to keep body and brain healthy and active. 3rd. You will expect your em ployer to pay you what your sevrices are worth. If he is an honest man he'll do that. If he is not honest quit him' and get another place or ?:io nothing. It will be as much your duty to give him value in eervice for the salary he pays you. Be as honest as he is. 4tu. Keep on the look out for better pay or position. You'll get it if you deserve it. If your em ployer does not give you a boost there will be others ready to take .you away from him, provided you make good. 5th. Save a part of your saiary. ?so that you wili have something to start a business of your own. Don't j be a miser. A stingy man is mighty iittle better, if any, than a spend thrift. 6th. Above all things don't get conceited, imagine yourself fully compel en t to hold your own in the game of iife with players who have had long experience and who have over powering capital and credit. .Many of the great fortunes of the present time were made by breaking beginners. Big head has spoiled many a. promising career. 7th. In case of doubt think what your mother would have you do, and you'll not go wrong. Wishing you good fortune we will be glad to hear from you from lime to time, as your leisure and inclination may allow you to write. Bryan Gives Good Advice. In an editorial in The Commoner, I Mr. Bryan gives the Democrats of j every congressional district in the country good advice, which they I would do well to follow. "Democrat ic voters," he says, "you can not be gin too soon to select candidates for congress. In about a year the cam paign will be on. and upon that cam pain will largely depend the hope of the party in 1912. Let those Democrats who believe in pure and undehled Democracy get together in each district and pick out a Demo crat who can not be bought or fright ened. The trusts have steadily se cured control of some of the con gressmen who were elected as Demo trats, and they will have the influ ence of the trusts in securing a re nomination. The trusts can very well afford to put up the campaign funds if they can control the con gressmen after election. The steel trust, for iustance, could put a mil lion dollars into the congressional campaign without missing it (and it is only one of many trusts), and a million dollars would Uupply a hundred candidates with ten thou sand dollars a piece, or two hundred caudidates with five thousand a piece. When you see that a con gressional candidate has money to spend, find out where he is getting it. Take it for granted that he can not get money from a predatory cor poration without a promise, expres sed or implied, and that he will pay the corporation back out of the pock ets of the people. We can better afi'o.u to have Republicans in con gress than Republican-Democrats; we can criticise Republicans and make capital out of their subservi ency to the trust, but when a Dem ocrat becomes a representative of the trusts, hid sins have to be borne by Iiis party. Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. Look up the record of your congressman and hold him to strict accountability. When a cong"cssman forgets his constituents he forfeits his right to their sup port. If he votes with the trusts ignorantiy be is too ignorant to be a congressman; if he votes with the trusts intentionally, he is not fit to be a congressman. No time is to be lost; now is the time to organize the real Democrats to secure congress men whose Democracy is real." Dave Had Their Day. Many Western Republican papers say that high protection and stand I patlsm have had their day, and that tho present tariff bill if passed will bring on a political revolution. They say that tho Republican party has control of both Senate and House, consquently is held re sponsible. The fact that certain Re publican senators oppose many of the propositions advanced by the Re publican leaders, does not seem to lessen the degree oi re*possibility, rnther to Increase \*. W*?re tho in surgent senators to be joined by the Democratic senators, accountability might be emphasized, but, at the present time, the wavering of the Democrats is not much taken into consideration. Dissatisfaction is found among Republicans, and there fore the political revolution threat ening will largely obtain in the Re publican party. These newspapers claim that the progressive element of the Republican party has multi plied more rapidly since this extra session of Congress assembled, than during the whole Roosevelt admin istration. The political revolution threatening is one of progress, of advancement, of liberty, and of con formity to the conditions of today and of the future. THE OLD APPLE TREE. Over One Hundred Years Old and Still Bears. According to the Grppr Observer, there is an apple tree up in the High land section that bids fair to vie with the "Mecklenburg Myth," as one of the boasts of the Piedmont. This tree, which is as much of a wonder in its way a? the "myth" is in a dif ferent manner, is located on the farm of Mr. Walker .Moon, one of the sub stantial farmers of the prosperous Highland section. The tree is eight feet, nine inches in circumference, and has a limb six feet from the surface of the ground that is five feet eight inches in circumference. There is also a hollow in the tree trunk in which several of the biddies of Mrs. .Moon's poultry flock made their nest, with such result that iseventy-fiye eggs were gathered therefrom this year One .hen determined to break all records hatched out a brood of fif teen chicks in this hollow. But, this is not ail. tradition has it that in 1S7S Mr. Mart Pennington, who owned the propelty at the time, made sixteen gallons of brandy from the year's crop of apples'. By wi ll authenticated records the age of this remarkable tree is established at 128 years. It is still vigorous and will produce a bumper apple crop this season. EXCURSION KATES To Chester, S.

MAKES A SUCCESSFUL PRESCRIPTION PRACTICE? A Very Interesting Talk by Dr. Wannamaker. "When a prescription is handed to a druggist he assume-; a very great responsibility. II is a mailer of life or death as to what he puts in the I.utile or powder. This is the great est fad that has to be made second nature to the pharmacist. To be a successful druggist and to have the confidence of the public, it not only takes considerable time to bring about, but also takes a great amount of business system to build it up. "In our place of business we have a very can-fully selected lol of drugs, pills, extracts, etc. These are being constantly added to as the latest discoveries are put on the market. Our greatest "bugbear" is to have to say to the customer, "We are just out of it.' We like to say, 'We have it.' "Each and every prescription is carefully filled and checked. Ab solutely no substitution is allowed. We would rather give you your pre scription 1 ack. We call for and deliver prescrip tions promptly. Our porters go as fast as they are allowed by the au thorities. And that is the reason In a few words why people bring us their prescriptions when they count on accurate, experienced work." J. G.
