Every farmer she !1 I? a member of the Union, it 1? a great power for good. The News and Courier says white shoes makes a girl's feet look larger. Maybe so, but the girls will wear them. Kentucky invites all the distilleries to ioca^e in that State. We thought that Kentucky had trouble enough already. Senator Tillman Ifcs dead right when he say*; lumber is a necessity and not a luxury, and it ought not to be taxed. President Taft advises the Repub licans to keep their promises. Why don't he set them a good example by keeping his own promises? The Charleston grand jury has at last woke up to the fact that there are many blind tigers in that city. As a sleeper the Charleston grand jury outclasses Rip Van Winkle. Rev. C. D. Mann will oppose Con gressman Aiken next year. At $7.500 per annum, a seat in Con gress is a good fat job. and we are not surprised at men wanting iL. The man who says it is right to vote for a tax on lumber condemns Senator Tillman. who regards a tax on lumber' somewhat in the nature of a rake off for the Lumber Trust. Baseball seems to be having a hard time in South Carolina this season. There is hardly a team in the State that is on a healthy finnan cial basis, unless it be the Manning team. Senator Tillmau said he was in the Senate as a Democrat, and he pro ceeded to verify his assertion by standing squarely on the Democratic platform aud voting to put lumber ou the free list. The official acts of every man in public life are legitimate subjects of criticism. When you find an of ficial who objects to his official acts being criticised you will find one who has uot been dealing squarely with the people. Senator Tillman says when he saw that the farmers who had to build houses and barns and fences were being charged steadily increasing prices for their lumber he resolved to vote to take the tax off of it the first chance he got. and he did. There seems to be a general row among the members of the winding up commission. The old State dis pensary seems to be a hard thing fn wind up. If we are in order, we move that au investigating commit tee be appointed to see what is the trouble. The Charleston Post has no doubt but that all objections to putting a duty on tea would have been met and vanquished by the Republicans with the greatest ease had Massa chusetts or Ohio or Michigan been the tea producer, instead of South Carolina. We congratulate Charleston on waking up to the necessity of a sew erage system. It is a long felt want in that city, and will be worth more to her than tea time* the amount of money it lakes to build it. We are glad to see the old city keeping up with the progress of the times. The success of Texas in making the Standard Oil Company pay ovor a million dollars fine for its viola tion of law iu that State, has whet ted the appetite of other States for some of the ill-gotten millions of the octopus. Mississippi is sluing it for eleven million dollars for violating the laws of that State. The Columbia Light, edited by a colored man. says: "When a white man calls Negroes Mis* in the South land, and other parts, be has 'an axe to grind.' He wants to sell the Ne gro something or at any rate make money off the Negro he calls Mr. or Mi-s." We bclicVf the above to be true in every particular. The Charleston Evening Post says "even the stoutest tariff hearts quailed at the prospect of taxing a hundred million pounds of tea. the estimated annual consumption of the American people, to benefit an in dustry which at present amounts to aa annual production of ten thou sand pounds." The tax on tea would have benefit-ted the government to the tune of $9.000,000.000 and af forded only $1.200 protection to the tea grower. The Post will notice that the tax would have been a good revenue producer. Who Is Right? In giving his reason on the floor of the senate for voting for free lum ber Senator Tillman very truly said, "Lumber is not a luxury, but one ox the necessaries of life." That when he saw "that the farmers, who had to build houses and barns and fences" were beiug charged steadily increasing prices for their lumber," his "opinion in regard to the benefits of the tariff in our State changed very radically." The Senator went on to say that he "believed in the greatest good to the greatest number," and when he saw that practically four fifths of the people, who used lum ber, were paying an increased price for it, he decided if he ever got a chance he would take the tariff off of, lumber. That chance came the other day and the Senator kept his word by voting to put all lumber on the free list. "I do not feel that it is my busi ness here to protect the industry of lumber which, perhaps, involves the interests of 50.000 good and wor thy people, as against, the 50 0. 000 equally good and worthy peo ple who have to use lumber, and we would not be saved from an ex orbitant price, because, I think, those people formed a combination and agreed that they would not undersell each other." says the Senator. That is good Democratic doctrine on lum ber or anything else. The Senator concluded by saying that "the only reason why we were able, or will be able, to get lum ber at a reasonable rate was due to the fact that there were some old field pine second growth left in the upper part of the State and small patches, or small areas, two or three hundred acres of 500 acres, all through in the middle lower region that lumbermen had not bought or could not buy at the high prices?I mean the great lumber companies, with their railroads, and all that sort of thing, running out into the swamps. The only reason why the upper-country people, could get lum ber at deceut prices was because a ?little oite-honse saw nfill. costing $1,500 or at most, $2,000, would go into these little patches of pine and saw the timber up and furnish the people this necessary, as against these great combinations of capital, which had absorbed our timber." Senator Tillman's statement hits those so-called Democrats who vot ed to tax lumber squarely between the eyes. If he is right they are certainly wrong, and if they are right in voting to tax lumber then Senator Tillman is wrong in voting to put it on the free list. Now, which do you think best represents the people who have to pay a higher price for lumber because of the tax put on it for the benefit of the big lumber companies that Senator Till man says has bought up all of our timber lands at a small price? Who is right? Senator Tillman, who vot ed for free lumber and against the Lumber Trust, or the so-called Dem ocrats who voted with the Republi cans to tax lumber for the benefit of the Lumber Trust? The Consumer Loses Again. The great battle of the tariff has been fought and the consumer, rep resented by the farmer, the mechanic, the miner and thousands of other callings has been again routed horse, foot and dragoon by the trusts and other predatory interests. To use a homely expression, the tariff robbers have done got the con skin and gone home, leaving the friend less consumer to hold the bag. As the New York Evening Post says, simple minded people may think that there is still a battle going on at Washington, but they are like the unimaginative aides-de-camp of Na poleon. For Napoleon, during one midnight fight, when news was brought him that an Austrian bri gade had taken up a certain position, declared. "The battle is over. I will go to bed. Tell me in the morning how many prisoners we have taken. ' From its Washington correspondent. The Boston Herald learns that the protected manufacturers and the pro fessional lobbyists are leaving the capital, their work well done, their fears quite at rest. The enemy may still keep up a pretty hot fire, and he may foolishly choose to fight to the last ditch rather than surrender. Hut surrender he must. Every ne cessary disposition has been made. The heavy battalions with the Mace donian phalanx as a nucleus, hold the center; the mounted infantry, cavalry, and mountain artillery, backed up when necessary by the Democratic Hung-hutse or guerrilla- j bandits, have again and again turn-1 ed the enemy'; flank; concealed bat teries stand cady to rake the con sumer's i. ick-t-. There is no more t'C-ed on t!: ? iaiwefield for the coin n ander-in-cnlei or his staf? Their regimental commanders in th-:- Senate eau be counted on to direct the pur suit, gather up the prisoners, and collect the profits?we mein, to say the booty. Pokes Fun at Thetn. In his speech at Yale College on Wednesday President Taft poked fun at those so-called Democrats who are so much like Republicans that you can't tell one from 'tother. In eulogizing Secretary of War Dick inson, he said: "Yon went Sontb of the Mason and Dixou im,, to gel a Secretary ?_>f War to .?y'v?? a decree to. Well, it is well that you did. because he is going to build the Panama Canal, and other universi ties will follow where you got in early. One of the difficulties that has confronted Brother Dickinson, out in Chicago, where he has a tem porary residence, was a discussion as to what constituted an orthodox Democrat, and whether really he ought to be counted as a Democrat if he allowed himself to go into a Republican Cabinet. Well, when you come to discuss what is a Democrat these days, you are presented with very much the same difficulty that 1 have before me now in giving cor tain rules for the construction of the pure food law as to what whiskey is. They say there is 'straight* whis key, and then there is 'rectified' whiskey, and then there is 'imita tion' whiskey. Now I speak with a good deal of hesitation in saying whether my friend Dickinson is a 'straight' Democrat or a 'rectified' Democrat. I would not dare say in his presence that he was an 'imi tation* Democrat." As Dr. Dickin son has confessed that he hap not voted the Democratic National ticket in sixteen years, we would class him as an imitation De'iio^rat. Those so-called Democrats who vote against the Platform of the Democratic par ty we think would come under the same head. A Graceful Complaint. Mr. Bryan says this graceful com pliment to Mrs. Cleveland in the last issue of the Commoner: "The Demo cratic party is indebted to Mrs. Cleve land for the earnest and womanly protest she has made against the fraud that was perpetrated against the party when after her husband's death an attempt was made to use his name and influence against the Democratic ticket. A m\n by the name of Brandenburg sold to the New York Times an article purport ing to be written by Mr. Cleveland, urging the success of the Republi can ticket. Mrs. Cleveland prompt ly challenged the genuineness of the signature and has recently gone into court to testify against Branden burg. She would naturally shrink from such notoriety and her porse verence in the prosecution of Brand enburg will be appreciated by the. rank and file of the party who have not yet forgotten thje grace with which she presided at Washington when she went from boarding school into the White House." MISTAKEN FOR BURGLAR. Excitement in Room Where Man Wrestles With Dog. The New York police are seeking the owner of a huge black dog in the hope that the animal may be re strained from repeating an annoying performance. Israel Moskowitz and his wife were asleep in their Brook lyn home before daylight when a strange dog leaped through the win dow and bounded upon the bed. Mrs. Moskowitz screamed that there were burglars and her husband grappled with the intruder and was wrestling him about the room when the police arrived. The dog escaped. It is next to impossible to teach a boy to earn his- own living that it's hardly ever worth while to try if you can support him. Statement of the Condition of THE RANK OF NORWAY, located at Norway.

It stands out among all its neighbors, because the coloring Is so bright and clear. Mr. Ericson painted with L. & M. Paint and says it cost 1-3 less than ever before. He bought only 12 gallons of L. & M. Paint and 9 gal lons of Linseed Oil to mix with it. This made 21 gallons of pure paint, and cost only $1.20 per galten. It's as handsome as the fiDest in town. The L. & M. is sold by J. G. Wan oamaker Mfg. Co., Orangeburg. S. C. County Hoard Meets July 5th.

WHIPPED TO AND PRO. Two Air Navigators Have Thrilling Time 10,000 Feet Up. i Their balloon, "the Melba," whip ped helpless to and fro by a sixty-1 mile gale in a dense cloud, ten thou-! sand feet above the earth, John Ber ry and M. A. Heiniann Wednesday ] clung to the basket and finally de scended safely at Hock Hill, ten miles from St. Louis, whence they ascend ed. On ascending they were carried i swiftly to an altitude of ten thou-1 sand feet into a thunder cloud, where 1 the bag was dashed about. At times the balloon lay on a level with the basket as the wicker was pitched high up by the careening gas bag. The balloonists pulled the emer gency valve, and although the bag almost collapsed, the balloon was held up by the gale. Suddenly the wind ceased, and the half emptied envelope shot downward, then form ed a parachute and let the men to earth safely except that Heimann sprained an ankle. Orders to Bussinn Troops. Orders were issued a few days ago at St. Petersburg. Russia, to the military nepartmcnt of the Caucasus to prepare troop1, for a Russian ex pedition into Teheran, the capital of Persia. The vessels necessary to transport the expedition assembled at Baku, whence the troops will be taken to Enzeli, on the Caspian Sea. Everything is in readiness in case furth?r advances on the part of Bakhtiari tribesmen and Kasbin revolutionists make Russian inter vention necessary. ' Notice to the Voters of Orangeburg County.
