President Jones, of the South At lantic Base Ball League, is a misfit He seems to have dtten off more than he can well "cuaw." Do not get excited over the whis key election. There will be booze aplenty and to spare it make no difference hew the election goes. The wife of Senator Aldrich's son has secured a divorce from him. Now let the country secure a divorce from the old man, and the people might have a chance. Because the tariff gives a man the right to put his hand in his neigh bor's pocket and extract therefrom hardearned dollars does not make it any the less a hold up game. In the death of Judge Hudson the State loses one of her very best sons. He served her gallantly, in her leg islative halls with fidelity and wis dom, and as a judge, he meted out justice tempered with mercy. Some of the Democrats voted for a tariff on lumber?that will help Mr. W'eyerhaueser and a few timber owners?but what about the people who pay the tax? Are they not con stituents also? asks the Commoner. Two thousand dollars more are needed to complete the fund for the erection of the monument to the wo men of the Confederacy. Orange burg County ought to ra.ise at least cne hundred dollars of this needed two thousand. Senator J. L. McLaurin was kick ed out of the Democratic party be cause he became the Republican re feree in South Carolina, and not be cause he voted like Senator Tillman has on the tariff, as some papers claim. Let us keep the record straight. When a Republican President kicks ou a tax on lumber you might know it is a great burden on the peo ple. The lumber schedule is one that President Taft wants his party to change to a lower duty. Wonder how those socalled Democrats who voted to tax lumber feel? Governor Brown of Georgia wants to increase the number of Georgia colonels from thirty to fifty, and has aslted the legislature to pass a biil giving him the authority. As nearly every man over in Georgia is a col onel or general already it seems to us that such a law would be unnec essary. When President Taft declared for a revision of the tariff downward the other day he put some of his new converts in the South, who had de clared that protection was a good thing. In the hole. Southern Repub licans for revenue had better not talk out too soon if they want to stand in with the chief pie distributor. i Since the Editor of the Yorkville Enquirer had to confess on the wit ness stand that he had a pistol in hi.s pocket when he had a difficulty wi'h a man that was being tried for be. ting him with a stick, he can no lorger condemn the pistol toting nah it on the part of other men. How careful those of us who preach to others should be. In discussing with various callers Thursday the results of the tariff dinner at the White House the night before. President Taft expressed himself entirely satisfied. The slight changes that will be made in the o'iginal Aldrich bill will prove that the. president is easily satisfied. But. any old thing will satisfy the Re publican malcontents, if it will only fool the fool people. j Two weeks to the day before his death. Judge Hudson was present at |^h^ meeting of the State Press As^o Ciutlon, and on the invitation of President Aull, made a short talk to the members, in which he lamented I the laxity of the enforcement of law in this State, and said the press | should use its power to remedy this condition. This was his lasrt message to his fellow men. Let us remember it. Orangeburg County has without doubt the handsomest county monu ment to her Confederate dead in the Stfte. It was: erected by the women of the county, and we think that the men of the county should contribute at least three hundred dollars to the woman's monument. A little over one hundred dollars more will bring us up to that amount. As soon as the crops begin to move let us make an effort to raise the amount neces sary to put us In the three hundred dollar dass. Negroes Using Cocaine. The Charlotto Observer says with in "recent years the cocaine habit has grown to be a great evil in Char lotte and many other Southern cities. The negro taking cocaine becoroee temporarily crazed and there is no crime which ho will nit commit or attempt when under its Influence. Policemen dread him as they dread nothing else, for he has both a man iac's strength and a maniac's fury. In Charlotte are joints where cocaine fiend hold periodical orgies; these places, filled with crazy demons, bear little resemblanoe to the dreamy at mosphere of Chinese opium joints. Opium or its derivltives?morphine, heroin, etc.?would from the stand point of society be far preferable. "To procure cocaine the habitue will undertake any crime; and since he is or soon becomes, worthless as a worker, crimes and shifty exped ients constitute almost his only re cource. The police know well that the frequent purse snatchings on the streets are attributable to cocaine fields. They know, too, that crimes of violence in the community rise mainly from this same cause. Thus the coaine negro commits crime to supply himself with his drug and is a most dangerous criminal -when he gets supplied. Continued spread of the habit threatens the negro popula tion, and the white South in its re lation to the negro population, with a menace unmistakably grave."' This cocaine habit among the ne groes is getting very common in this State, and the law In reference to the sale of this and other drugs should be strictly enforced. There is no doubt but that a good deal of the cheap whiskey being sold in various sections to negroes, and possibly tc some others, by blind tigers, is dosed with cocaine to give the desired ef fect after it has been freely diluted with water in order to Increase the quantity and make the profit more. It will be remembered that a young white man at Anderson, convicted of murder, attempted to excuse his crime on the plea that tbe blind lig er whiskey on which he was intoxi cated at the time was dosed with co caine. Which statement was verified by analysis. Considerable cocaine was found in a Greenville blind tiger raided by the police not long ago We have a strenuous law in this State regulating the handling of co caine, but it is none too strenuous1 and ought to be strictly enforced. Blames the Women. Women always were, are now, and probably will remain, extravagant, socially ambitious, unscrupulous and generally responsible for a large part of the evils of life, according to Professor Herbert L. Willett, of the University of Chicago Divinity School, who lectured on "The Social Teachings of the Prophets" recently. The professor alleges that women were as "wicked In the time of Amos and Hosea as they are today." Prof. Willett told the summer stu dents that of all women's faults, her social climbing was the worst. He blamed the society germ for the op pression of the poor and recklessness of the rich, and drew analogies be tween the state of affairs in ancient Judea and contemporary life. "The moral levels of a nation can never rise higher than its woman hood," said Professor Willett. "Many of the evils of society have been and are due to the social aspirations and extravagancies of women. In the limes of Amos, the women were will ing to take money obtained by brib ery. Bribery was one of the com monest evils of the day. The bribes were used for luxuries for the wo men. The women insisted on having the luxuries. "In more than one way, t he evils of the days of the prophets were like those of today. Amos hated in iquity. He was against adultera tions in food, cheating in weights and measures, unfair business com binations and graft and extortion of all kinds. To read Amos is like reading a document printed yester day. Every evil of today had a par allel then." Of course all women are not included in the Professor's in dictment. He had reference to wo men who live for self entirely, as many of the socalled society women do. The Texas Fever Tick. The farmers of the South should be acquinted with the life-history of the Texas fever tick. Its scienti fic name is Boophilus annulatus. The iemale Texas fever ticks fall from their hosts when ready to deposit eggs, which are laid in a mass of several hundreds, and hatch after a period of incubation, which varies somewhat according to temperature. "This small seed tick, or larvae, which possess only three pair of legs, are able to live without food for a length of time, but finally die unless they find a host. If a suitable host animal is found, they attach them selves by means of their proboscis, grow for about a week, and then cast their skins, emerging with eight legs. The second nymphal stage lasts about another week, during which considerable growth occurs, and then the molting process is repeated, giv ing rise to the mature male or fe male tick, also with eight legs. At this time the female is a little larger than the male, but she soon begins to swell out, and finally, about three weeks later, is fully en gorged and ready Xjo fall to the ground and lay her eggs. Normally Texas fever ticks remain upon the same host until they have grown to complete maturity, but. recent ex periments have proved that Texas fever ticks taken from an animal at the time of either molt will continue to develop if placed on other cattle. J It has also been found that Texas j fever ticks will sometimes develop j to the adult stage upon cats and j dogs, but as a rule this species is restricted to cattle and other large j animals, such as deer, horses, mules j and donkeys."

A Tribute From the Pen of Col. Jas. T. Bacon. While the State Press Association sojourned -in Greenville its members were domiciled at the Ottaray Hotel, one of the handsomest and best kept hotels we ever stopped at. The pro prietor and manager of the Ottaray is Miss M. Quinn. a handsome young lady of about 26 yeare of age. Among the press gang who enjoyed the hos pitality of the Ottaray and its charm ing owner was Col. James T. Bacon, the genial and talented editor of the Edgefield Chronicle. The Colonel is an old bachelor, Dut, although he has passed his three score years, his heart has the freshness of spring and the motion of youth. Witness the following outburst of youthful admiration, appreciation and respon siveness to the.attractions of women. Since Miss Gwilt, of "Armadale," or Di Vernon, or Becky Sharp, or Lady Sweetapple?or Judith and Delilah in the Old Testament?we have met with no such distinctive woman as Miss Quinn of The Ottar ay. We touched land upon a high point in Greenville, and searched for Miss Quinn to beg her to give us two slats to rest our ancient and weary bones upon. We expected to meet a grim, vinegar-faced, merci less vestal virgin of sixty years. Miss Quinn came?a queenly, lovely, vel vety young woma/n, wfrth eyes of dangerous depth and softness, and voice "like the coming of doves in immemorial elms." Her figure and walk were those of Judith. Her mercy was as boundles as the deep sea. At the age of a hundred and fifty, we fell before Miss Quinn of The Ottaray like Samson before Del ilah, like Osias Wintergreen before Miss Gwilt, like Posh Sedley before Becky Sharp. We forgot our pains and our bores, and begged for only one slat. Miss Quinn's mercy extended over seven slats and the snowiest counterpane that ever cov ered any wicked, wretched old wretch. Miss Q"inn is supremely beautiful. She i? supremely tender and merciful. She is a deep and soulful mystery. She is a reincarna tion of Recamier or the Princess Lambelle. The Ottaray, her home, is a cave of Circe?a mermaid's rock in the sea?a Land of Beulah?an Ararat of the Ark?a heavenly rest. Rice 5c per Quart at Bolen'&v 15 N. Middleton. Municipal Patriotism. Local patriotism consists in build ing up a community socially, intel lectually and morally. To talk of patriotism, whether local or nation al, even with the tongue of an angel, is nothing but rant unless it is ac companied by practical action along the lines indicated. It is recorded of the old Jews that when they re turned to Jeruselem and saw the hav oc wrought by their enemies every man did his share in rebuilding the city. The same spirit working in any city today is the best evidence of local patriotism any one can give. FRESH EGGS at Bolcn's, 15 N. Middleton. For Sale.
