Frequently the only way to meet the objection that an undertaking is impossible is to go right ahead and do it. Joy riders, boat rockers and those that point loaded guns "just for fun" seem to vie with each other to prevent an increase of population. In society, in the home, and In the soul, righteous authority, Ignor ed, creates anarchy; and beyond an human restraints and the thin veneer of civilization anarchy is the triumph of every evil. Some people are dreadfully afraid that the farmer will go into politics. In our opinion that is exactly what he ought to do until he votes all those fellows in congress out who vote to tax him for the benefit of the trusts. To have and hold is not the high est social and economic law, but that of give and take, because that in voles reciprocity and not selfishness. Each gives according to his ability and receives according to his need and worthiness. Some people look upon life as a great game of grab in which the big gest grabber is the most successful and gets the most applause. Acting on the idea men live only for them selves and strive to become big fish living upon the small ones. Every man is in duty bound to consider himself a part and parcel of the community in which he lives. He owes to it the fulfilment of the duties of citizenship, a clean, honor able life, and a constant and intel ligent effort to advance its interests. Man has his duties as well as wo man in the home life. Marriage will certainly be a failure, if the husband is indolent, aimless, drunken or bru tal. The man should take into the home life soundness of character, a chivalrous spirit, industry and af fection. A subscriber, wants to know if a lawyer who advocates prohibition would be justified in defending a blind tiger in the courts. We do not know much about the ethics of the legal profession, but we would say that a prohibition lawyer would not be justified in defending an ille gal seller of whiskey. A rich money lender at a ban quet held to devise means to help the poor was so affected by the sto ries told of the heroic patience and struggle displayed by many in hum ble circumstances that he moved that "three cheers be given for the poor." Such useless sentimentalism is about the limit of the interest of some people when they are called upon to help those in need. If a corporation voluntarily con fesses to having put its hands in oth er peoples' pockets and abstracted hundreds of thousands of dollars, its members are usually let off with a minimum fine. Put if an ordinary person, on being arrested, voluntari ly pleads guilty to taking a few dol lars he is sent to prison. Why this difference when the offence in both instances is the same in character? "Chaplain." said a young crirai- , nal in a state prison, holding up his thin white hands, "these hands never j worked: do you think they can learn ! to work?" That was the secret of' that young man's criminality. And idleness today is one of the princi pal causes of crime. Unless boys and girls are trained to honest woik they are bound to gravitate towards , crime an ! i ov< ? ty. While we are glad that the Barn well juries are doing so well in the ' punishment of crime, we cannot un derstand why they should recom mend Boyleston, who wn< convicted of assassinating Fanning, to the mer- ' cy of the court, thereby sending him J to the penitentiary instead of crack-' ing his neck, if Boyleston was guilty of assassination as the jury said he was. we fail to see where he was entitled to mercy. There is but one crime blacker than assassination, i The successful flight of Louis Bleriot across the English Channel from Calais to Dover in his mono plane is a distinct triumph in aero nautics. To be sure longer flights have been recorded over land, but the remarkable thing about Bleriot's success is that he perfectly achieved his aim, which was to cross 23 miles of open water and land at a spot he had previously decided upon. Such a feat appeals vividly to the imagination and points to still great er achievements in aerial nagiga tion. Given a Gentle Boast. The News and Courier seems to have a special grudge for Mr. Bry an and every day or two it has something disparagingly to say of him. Recently the Great Coom moner in his paper gives our Char leston contemporary a gentle roast in return for its many slurs at him. A reader of The Commoner asked that a reply be made to a recent editorial in the Indianapolis News, under the title "Functions of a Rep resentative." The Indianapolis pap er quoted Mr. Bryan as having said: "There are two schools of thought in regard to the duty of an official: the aristocratic theory is that the people elect representatives to think for them; the Democratic theory is, on the contrary, that the people think for themselves and elect repre sentatives to give legal expression to their thoughts and to voice their sentiments." After making a defense of that position, as the Indianapolis paper had attacked it, Mr. Bryan says, but, the Indianapolis News quotes the following with approval from the Charleston News and Courier: "'M.T. Bryan's theory is that a public official should be the peo ple's puppet, that when he accepts office he effaces himself as a free agent and that he reserves to him self only the function of what be conceives to be the people's will." Mr. Bryan replies that the InoTd napolis editor ought to know that the Charleston News and Courier is not an exponent of Democratic ideas. It calls itself Democratic without being Democratic, just as some legislators call themselves representatives when they are mis representatives. The Democratic idea of representative government does not mean that the representa tive shall effact himself; it means that he shall keep faith with those from whom he derives power, but if the representative has to choose between effacting himself and exact ing his constituents, he had better efface himself, . for it is more im portant that his constituents shall have proper representation than that he shall gratify himself by doing for them what they do not want done, or by doing in their name that against which they protest. While he acts for himself he can act as he pleases, but when he be comes a representative he acts not as an individual, but as a spokes man for a large number of individu als, each one as important as him self and each one having a con science, an opinion and right that must be respected. This gentle roast seems to have nettled The News and Courier as it replied to it in a long editorial and lits Headline artist referred to Mr. Bryan as the Nebraska Joker. But all that does not answer Mr. Bryan's indictment "that The News and Courier is not an exponent of Democratic doc trine." Should be Sold Cheaper. In the Aldrich-Payne bill is a pro vision placing a duty of thirty per cent upon cash registers. There is but one concern in this country that manufactures these machines in any quantity worth talking about. That is .located in Ohio. It has secured a monopoly of the business by the easy but sometimes expensive way of buying up all the patents that arc valuable, and by forcing to the wall by underselling all other competitors who wouldn't sell or were not worth buying out. The monopoly character of this company has been shown conclu sively by Elihu Root, now senator from New York, for a violation of the anti-trust law. A half million of cash registers have been sold in this country, for about $75,000,000. They have become a business neces sity. The prices asked are very high. There is another reason for this other than the fact that it has only a few small competitors. That reason is that for years it has enjoyed a tariff of forty-five per cent, which is high enough to keep out of the American market all for eign makes. While the government is guaranteeing to this company full control of the home market, it is also enabling it to make such an extortionate profit upon its machines that it can afford to and does sell them in England for naif what it charges here. There is no claim made that the company Is simply selling its occasional surplus abroad ' in order to keep its workmen em ployed, but it is the settled policy of the company to make this differ ence in price. During the debate in the senate on this schedule photographic re productions of the American and English price lists of this company were produced. These? showed in the publications of the company itself that a machine that sells here for $250 was listed in England with alJ freight, transportation and insur ance paid, at $135. A $300 machine here is sold for $150 in England. A j machine seid here for $17? is sold1 there for ?>;.",. \o. 30G sells here for JL'^.". but abroad it costs but $95. Can anybody give any good rea son why a company that takes ad vantage of tariff protection from the American people to rob them in the price of the product should he grant ed further protection? asks a writer in The Commoner, who collated the above facts. Many of these registers are sold in this city and State. As will be seen by the above prices, j every one of us who has bought one \ of these registers has paid too much for it. They can and should be sold cheaper than they are sold. But they will not be as long as the com pany that makes them has no com petition. Someone has recently prophesied that Christ will appear withiu :he next three years. People do not pay the attention to such prophecies as they formerly did because they right ly believe that those who make such statements are speaking of what ?they do aot know. People today are also practical and realize that to lead a true, upright and useful life is of far more account for this world i and the next than to spend time in I visionary thought. TRIES TO WRECK TRAIN. A Twelve-Year-Old Negro Boy Ar rested on Charge. A special to the Augusta Chron icle from Savannah says Thomas Lovinghouse. a l21year-old colored boy, is held at the Savannah police station awaiting trial on the charge of trying to wreck a passenger train on the Central of Georgia railroad. A large piece of wood, supported across the rails by brick, was used in the attempt. The negro boy's statement is that he was forced to do what he did by a negro man, who threatened him if he did not do as directed. The boy says the man showed him how to fix the wood, then left him. Only a few minutes before the train was due to pass the point at which the attempt was made the watchman discovered the ob struction, quickly removing same. East Orange Dots.

Here's an obituary notice taken from a Missouri paper, which isn't afraid to call a spade a spade: "While it Is almost a crime to speak ill of the dead, we feel it our duty to tell the truth anotit Mrs. Mary Boyer, who died last night. She never spoke a decent word of any person, living or dead, and slander was the joy of her life. If she goes to heaven, we don't want to be there, and we believe we voice the sentiment of every man, woman and child in this town. We will gladly contribute a quarter for Ice for Mary. She will need it." You Can Get It Free. The Progressive Farmer says it is a question whether the farmer will let nitrogen impoverish him or make it help enrich him. Can any one conceive of any good reason for buying at 20 cents per pound what he can get for nothing?can even get paid for taking? For the legumes not only supply nitrogen, they make the finest feed for all sorts of stock; and if one third Che land planted in cotton were each year devoted to leguminous crops, in five years there would not only be mere bales of cotton made at a much smaller cost per bale, but there would also be more and better live stock in the South, better crops of all kinds, fewer bills to pay for feed and "supplies," more money coming in and less going out, rich farmers and a more prosperous country. Two Boys Drown. While in bathing with several oth er young boys at a point seven miles from Kingslands, Ga., in the St. Mary's river, two white boys, Isaac Carlton and Roy Haddock, each fifteen years of age, were drowned.

C. He threw himself under the train. IF YOU HAVE ANY REAL ESTATE FOR SALE LIST IT WItTH THE CAROLINA SALES AGENCY, 49 E. Russell Oningeburg, S. C. Summer Hair Dressing.

HMDS CRACKED RAW AND SCALY Itched and Burned Terribly?Arms Affected, Too?Could Not Move Thumbs Without Flesh Cracking ?Sleep and Work Often Impos sible?Was Fairly Worn Outt CUTICURA SOON CURED HIS FEARFUL ECZEMA "About a year ago an itching humor began to appear around the back of my hand. It started in to spread, and pretty soon it covered both my hands and got up over my wrists and even up to the elbows. The itching and burning were terrible. My hands got all scaly and when I scratched, as I was doing a good part of the time, the surface would be covered with blisters and then get raw. The eczema got so bad in around the pit of my thumbs that I could not move the thumba without deep cracks appearing. I went to my doctor, but his medicine could only stop the itching and did not Beem to heal my hands up at all. At night I suffered so fearfully that I could not sleep, often lying awaae until well toward morning, then waking up still tired. I am a chef and steward by trade and I had to give up my place, as my hands were so terrible to look at that they did not like to have me around about the food. I could not bear to touch them with water, but when I positively had to get my hands clean I would rub them with oil. "This sort of business went on for three months and I kept trying zinc and tar ointments and such remedies with no particular benefit. I did not know what to do, for I was fairly worn out. For a long time several friends kept asking me why I didn't use Cuti cura and at last I thought I would. First I got the Cuticura Soap, then Cuticura Ointment and at last Cuticura Resolvent. I put the Cuticura Oint ment on at night, covering my hands with light cotton gloves. In the morn ing the inside of the gloves would be lined with scales, sometimes half as long as your finger, leaving nice healed places where the scales had been. In a month I was cured and have kept so now for nine months. My hands and arms are perfectly clear of all traces of eczema and I think I am well rid of it. Walter H.
