We-congratulate the juries over in Barnwell. If they will keep up the good, work they have commenced by the. conviction of the assassins of Ussery they will make assassination a very unpopular thiug in these parts. If the farmers of the South want to find out how mucti, the Republi can, party loves them they should study the tariff scheduler and see how they are taxed on everything they have to buy for the benefit of the- trusts. Foy W. Dulaney, former clerk of court of Washington county. Ten nessee, charged with embezzling ?20,000, was caught ou Sunday in Jamaica, whither he.had fled, and will be brought back for trial. A Georgia legislator propo.-ie? that pistol-carriers in that State be com pelled to wear tags reading, "I am loaded." Such a tag might he mis leading, unless it stated what the wearer was loaded with. Senator Stone, of Missouri, so far forgot, himself the other day as to become involved in a fisfcuff with a negro porter on a train, and was heuted. up before a magistrate in Baltimore, who, after hearing the case; dismissed it. . For every man that The News and Courier can find in South Caro lina outside of Charleston that will agree- with it that Mr. Rryan is a fakir, Mr. Bryan can Ond a hundred who- does not believe that T?e News and, Courier is a Democratic, yaper. The farmers who make cotton will still' have to pay a heavji; tax on the bagging and ties with which they pack their cotton. President Taft, wnpse election was ?aid /to. spell prosperity for our farmers, has not raised a hand to< lift, this bur den from, their shoulders. TJtu> buccanneers that' sailed the Spanish, main never held ujv-ud rob bed a ship with any more bragen ness than the Republican party holds up the people of this\greaL. Republic and rpbs them for the benefit of the thieving trusts. The headline artistfof The News and Courier refers to.- Mr. Bryan as the-Nebraska fakir. The News and Courie.r would rind it about an hard to make people believe that. air. Bry an is a fakir as it did tx*.find mem bers for its new Taft party, that it tried to launch some*.-time ago The Florence Times ;says ' the man who gets mad with ithe preacher for what he preaches in h?a sermons and stops going to chtmrh cannot throw rocks at the man . who gets mad with the edi'or for what he says Sir the paper and stps tm*.paper be cause or it. They both ought to Iknovr better but there> are some things that people will,never learn; one of-'them is that it never pays to cut off" your nose to spif?.your Dice." We are somewhat stn-pj that The News and Courier take* excep tion to Mr. Bryan's statement that it is .uot a Democratic-.newspaper. The News and Courier may not kuow it. but it is a fact, that it is not regarded, as a Democratic paper by many people in South Carolina. In fact, we thought The . Kewa and Courier had ceased todays itself ast a. Democratic newspaper since it undertook, to launch its Taft party in- opposition to the Democratic par ty. The Times and Democrat's a strong believer In, prohibition. So much so, that it will not publish whiskey advertisements, its editor does not use- intoxicant? of any kind, nor is there a person connected with its office that does use them. We be lieve prohibition, like charily, should begin at home. Trt other words, be fore trying to make theoretical pro hibitionists out of othjf people, we make ..practical prohibitionists out Yourselves. U everybody do that and it. won't require an election to ?Jose the dispensary. Clothes Will Be Higher. Notwithstanding the protests of the clothing- merchants and consum ers of clothing it now looks as if the prices of ^clothing this fall will be from $2.50 to $5.00 higher per suit than last fall. Recently the National AJEfcociatJion of Clothiers ?sent to President Taft a strong ap ,peal against the [proposed woolen schedule in the tariff bill, which is now nearly complete. Among other things they -say: "Practically no change from the Dingley bill has been embodied in the new tariff, and we must, there fore, assume that no relief from the present unfavorable conditions can be had save through your interven tion. "An iindus^ry wbjose product js used by practically every person in the United States appeals to you ?zr Jftmpte jujsSice, not for itself alone but for the consumers of the country. "Eight million-, wearers of woov lens are paying yearly much more than the total value of the domes tic wool clip to afford excess pro fits to a comparatively small num- j ber of sheep raisers and worsted yarn spinners. "We are not opposed to a rea sonable protection to the wool growers and to the domestic man- j ufacturer, but flrom our practical experience we know that the Ding ^ley flFfl, through /the unjust dis criminations against tbe lower and cheaper grades of wool, has creat ed a condition which has decreas-1 ed the weight and durability of the clothing worn by the masses of | the people and unduly advanced the j price of tho depreciated cloth. Should present tariff conditions con tinue, the situation will grow worse and the burden ou all woolen cloth ing extremely ? beavy. | "The pre-election pledges led the people of the country to assume that 1 there would be such a revision of the tariff as would afford relief from oppressive conditions bearing heavi ly upon the consumer." We fear that this appeal falls on deaf ears, as President Taft seems ' to be heartily in favor of the ! buccaneer methods of Aldrich and ! his gang of robbers. Under the 1 provisions of the tariff bill the Wool Trust will rob the people of this country of hundreds of millions of dollars, and besides sell them inferior goods. This trust is com posed of twenty-seven woolen mills, all of them located in New Eng land except one. and is the controll ing force in the great woolen in dustry of this country, and as the ' Chicago Tribune says, when it lays down the law as to prices of wool en cloths the clothing manufactur ers have to accept ItA terms or gr out of business It has sent no tice of an advance in prices of from :2 to 25 per cent on those or a year ago. ? j But, as the Augusta Chronicle says, there seems to be no escape from it; Oiiio and New England have had the efers of the tariff fixers? and the people must pay what thsy j demand. So get ready, right now-, (to pay more for your clothes next fall; unless, of course, you are lucky enough to have a suit or two left over from last year, or have bougbr one during the present summer months?which latter, in this cli mate, at least, isn't such a bad ? proposition even iu winter. Ice Too High. ? Considering what it cost to make ice, one-half cent per pound to con sumers seem? to us to be a big price for it. Ice is no longer a luxury, but a necessity and it should be in the reach of all the people. Re i cently the government at Washing ton came to the conclusion that seven dollars and sixty-rfive cents a ton for the ice used in the depart ments was too much to pay for it, and the government concluded to see just why it cost so much, j As a result the postoffice depart ! meat building is now supplied with a daily ton of ice, bearing the U. .4 S. brand, and costing for its manu facture only sixty-five cents. Sub tracting sixty-five cents from seven dollars and sixty-five cents, Uncle Sam discovered that he had, by making his own ice, effected a sav ing of seven dollars a day in one department, and the old gentleman is making arrangements to supply all the departments with cheap ice. There is in this story of economy a moral that can be applied at home, iu Oraugeburg, or in any city which uses manufactured or artificial ice. The moral would cause a question to be directed to local prices for the very necessary article. It is in Orangeburg, we believe, bought by the consumer at a rate that ap proaches ten dollars a ton rather than seven. Allowing for increased cost of production, the magnitude of profit which must accrue to the ice makers here, and generally, is sufficient to bring into prominence the government ice-making which produces ice at a cost of only sixty five cents a ton. As we stated above, the success of tbe postoffice department im plant has led Uncle Sam to consider fie cenernl manufacture of the ire which th<> thousands of his employes need. The Charleston Evening Post, from which source we get the above, savs as a strong reminder of how cheap ice can be made, these plants would have a function other than supplying govornment offices. And just so long as government ice is kept remote from government pie. that loe.-: win it keep up its reason for bring. There are plenty of Farmers who could r present us in congress with tibaility and fidelity, why would : farmer lik.- Dr. S. ,T. Sum 7 ? ' ' of Cameron, make a good congressman? There are many just like him. COMMITS SUICIDE. Sings as She Goes to Room to End Her Life. At Tarrytown, N. Y., after singing as she went to her room, appear ently in the best of spirits, Mrs. Charles Konds, twenty-one years old, wife of the proprietor of the St. George hotel, in Depot square, swal lowed two ounces of carbolic acid and died a few minutes later. Her husband and friends are at a loss ?to ascribe a reason for the (sui cide. Mrs. Konda was married in White Plains, her former home, about a year ago. She appeared to be hap py, and she was a favorite with a large circle of acquaintances. She bought the acid at a local drug store, saying she needed it for medical purposes. A half hour before swallowing the drug Mrs. Konda conversed cheerful ly with friends and spoke enthusias tically of an excursion she Intended making the next day. She was heard to sing as she went to the room and a few minutes later her groaning attracted attention. When her hus- 1 band ran to the room he found her writhing upon the floor. She was taken to the Tarrytown hospital, where she died a few minutes after her arrival. HITS THE FARMER HARD. j Must Pay Heavy Tax on Covering For Their Cotton. The Washington correspondent of I The Columbia Record says as he predicted would be the case, cot ton bagging is restored to the du I tiable list by the Republican con j ferees. I do not know yet whether j the rate Is the original duty of six tenths of a cent per sqaure yard, though this will be likely. The maneuver now worked on the Dem , ocrats is familiar to Aldrich who I played the same trick when the I Dingley bill was up. He accepted j Senator Bacon's free list amend ment to stop talk, though it was : stated Wednesday afternoon , by a Republican friend of his that pro tection would be restored in confer ence when the Democrats are out of sight, it is a heavy blow to cot I ton planters. jTWO LADIES DROWN IN POND. , North Carolina Mountain Village Scene of Tragedy. A dispatch from Charlotte, N. C, ! says news reached there a few nights ago of the death by drowning at Mortimer, an obscure village Tn Caldwell county, of Miss Nannie Bailey and Miss Jetz, in the mill ?pond of the Ritter Lumber Company i at that place. The victims were I daughters of officials of the lumber I company, and were boating on the i pond. The bodies were recovered. ! It is impossible to secure details of j the tragedy. HEN FOUND STOLEN JEWELRY. i Uncovers the Spot Where Thief Had Buried the Treasure. When jewelary valued at about $1,000 was stolen from the home of ! William M. Skinner, at Lakewood, N. J., he offered a reward of $2?0 for its recovery. A hen scratching under the front porch of the Skin ner home has brought the stolen jew elry to light, uncovering the spot j where the thief had apparently I buried the treasure. The Giri Who Gets Along. She who is slow to anger?or to ; showing that anger. One may seethe : like smolder-Vessuvius as long as 1 she does not break loose. An un | controlled temper is a stumbling block that has crippled many a I worker. The girl who will give overweight. Getting flustered in an emergency, as a trait to be admired, has gone out with the weeping early Victo rian heroes, whose one solution of troubles was to faint under it. The girl who has a well developed .sense of fitness. iMore failures come from noe being able to sense the right thing to do than from doing the wrong thing. The girl who will give overkeight. The fear of doing a little more than I one is paid for has been the blank wall in many a brilliant woman's path. J The Ever-Changing Waist-Line. I In the August American Magazine Mrs. Wilson Woodrow, writing an extraordinary amuting and yet in forming article on women's clothes, says: "Consider the mental agility It takes to keep up with one's waist line. One goes to bed at night in the sweet assurance that it will be under the arms for the next two or three months at any rate, and awakes to learn from the headlines in the morning papers that the waist line Is positively at the knees. There is absolutely no use in prognosticat ing anything about it any longer. That the waistline occurred at the waist was an axiom accepted as uu questioningly as that the earth re volves ou its axis, but in those days of higher criticism it is likely to be anywhere. It bloweth where it listeth." A Nice Pick-Up. When William Robelin, a brake man on the Long Island, N. Y.. railroad, the other day picked up a forgotten handbag, he incidentally picked up also $100 in money and two complete outfits of clothing, two weeks' vacation on full pay and an Offer of a life position at a salary of $100 a month as a reward from tii" owner.

It Camo After the Positive Man Dis covered His Mistake. , An Irish officer who had served In Malta was one day at a public dinner. Expatiating on the luxurious living at Malta, he spoke particularly of the ex cellent quality of the anchovies. He had never seen any like them any where else. He told of a grove of them which he had seen growing in the governor's garden upon the es planade. A gentleman present disputed the statement that anchovies grew on trees. The Irishman reaffirmed it most emphatically. The wine was flowing and the He passed. A chal-. lenge was given and accepted. On the following day the parties! met, attended by their seconds. At i the first fire the Irishman's shot took effect in his opponent's thigh, the ball hitting the bone and causing such a shock that the latter fell upon his back and in such pain that he kicked his heels vigorously. "I' faith, majoV sa& our hero's second, "you've hit your man, but I think not dangerously, for see what lively capers he Is cutting." "Capers! Capers!" exclaimed the Irishman, with a start. "Oh, by the powers, what have I done? Bad luck to me forever for such a dreadful mis take!" And, hastening to the side of his antagonist, who had been raised to a sitting posture, he grasped bis hand, gushing forth as he did so: "My dear friend, I hope you're not killed. And if I've harmed you seriously I'll ask your pardon forever, for I made a murderln' mistake! It was capers that I saw growing upon that tree at Malta and not anchovies at all!" Why, Indeed? Pat and Mike enlisted In the British army. After their first drill the cap tain, thinking the circumstances oppor tune for a little lecture on patriotism, demanded eloquently, "Soldiers, why should a man die for his king and country?" This struck Pat as a proper question. Turning to Mike, he said: "Faith. Moike, the captain Is roight! Whoi?" A Soft Answer. During one of the national political conventions an orchestra was playing in a popular restaurant. The place was crowded with delegates, and the diners were talking loudly so the} might hear and be heard. At one ta ble sat a beautiful woman and her es cort and al the next table a nutnbe: of New York men. Suddenly the orchestra stoppod bing!?and a New York man's voles rang cut: "By George, that's a go? r looking woman! I'd like re niest her." The man at the next table, who' we with the lady, came ever, tapped th< New Yorker on the shoulder and sai< frigidly. "Sir. that lady is my wife!" "Shake!" said, the New York man "I'm glad to nieel you. You certain! are a good pic ker." And hostilities were averted. Happiness. If thou workest at that which Is be fore thee, following right reason seri ously, vigorously, calmly, without a! lowing anything else to distract thee but keeping thy divine part pure if thou should be bound to give it back Immediately?if thou boldest to this expecting nothing, fearing nothing, bui satisfied with thy present activity ac cording to nature and with heroi truth In every word and sound which thou ntterest, thou wilt live happy And there Is no man who is able U prevent this.?Marcus Aurelius. Turn About. The president of a western universl ty relates how on one occasion, when n certain well known .educator was dean of that institution, grave complaint against the college cook were brought to him by one of the undergraduates whereupon the dean summoned the delinquent, duly lectured him upon his shortcomings and, in short, threatened him with dismissal unless conditions were bettered. "Good gracious, sir!" exclaimed the cook. "You oughtn't to place too much Importance on what the young men tell you about my meals. Why, sir. they come to me in just the same way and complain about your lectures!" THIS IS THE WEATHER WHEN COOL CLOTHES COUNT. Let us sketch why you should buy your needs here.
