C. j When Dr. Brown says our police can't catch the smali-pox. he ad mits that he is seasicr to catch than the small-pox, for they have caught him. ' The cowardly assassin who shot down in cold blood that quiet, hard working colored man while on his way to his home from- Branchville Friday night should be hunted down like a wild beast. Some newspapers charge Hon. WiTH?ms Jennings Bryan of reading Major J. C. Hemphill out of the Democratic party. This is a mis take. The genial Major read him self out of the pemocratic party When he became dry nurse of the Taft party in the South. The people in the country who are interested in enforceing the prohi bition law should organize law and order leagues to see that no whiskey is sold in their neighborhoods. This is the only way that blind tigers can be kept down in the country, where there are no police officers. In their road improvements the authorities should look more to the convenience and benefit of the farm ers who have to haul their produce over the roads to market than the automobile riders. We can get along without the automooile, but we can't : get along without the farmers. Orangeburg welcomes Governor Ansel within her gates today. He lias made a good chief magistrate of the State, and he has be very best wishes of the people of this city and county for the success of all his future plans when he retires from his present exalted position. Although Snator Tillman has de nied emphatically that he said the State Senate was bought by the rail ?roads, several aewspajpers in this State continue td print the report in their columns as if it had never been denieo' by the Senator. This is not honest journalism, and does the profession harm. Harriman, the great railroad ma tiupulator, is sick and doing his best to doge the old grim monster, but he can't. Sooner or later he will have to go down into the dark valley and meet the relentless enemy of the race, death, all alone. His rail roads and great wealth will count for nothing then. The News and Courier says "it is impossible for South Carolinians to realize the extensive use of cocaine among the negroes of Louisina and Mississippi. It is claimed that the drug is more generally used than strong drink, and it is now posi tively asserted that the desperado who shot up Monroe, Louisiana, had partaken largely of the drug. "We trust that Senator Tillman's breakdown is only temporary,' says the Chicago Tribune; to which the New York Sun replies: "The last we heard of Captain Ben he was dancing a breakdown on the corpuses of his Palmetto enemies, halting the newspapers; in full possession of his vigor and vocabulary, and enjoy ing himself to the top of his bent." There was a time not very far hack when one never heard of a white man being charged with the crime for which fiends are lynched in the South, but that time seems to have passed. Several white men are now awaiting trial in Georgia and this State charged with that aw ful crime. Wonder if the cocaine habit isn't responsible for this crime on the part of white men. Every friend of organized labor must deplore the dreadful riots that liave J\ist taken place in Pennsylva nia. Without passing upon the mer its of the. dispute between the men find their employers it is enough to pay that the cause of labor is always hindered by riot and bloodshed due to the action of the men themselves. They may be right in believeing their cause just, concessions may be due them, they may have been wrong ed in several ways, but it always tiolds good that force is no remedy. It is rather remarkable that one town should have such an houor as that which falls to the lot of Spencer, Mass., whMcih town celebrates the erection of a monument, as told in the news columns, to three brothers, one of whom revolutionized the work of the home by the invention of the sewing machine, another revolution ized engineering and the transporta tion problem by the invention of the truss bridge, and the third ought to receive thanks every night for the invention of a spring ma'tress for beds. That is a pretty good record for the Howe family. $1.50 .75 .40 A Tariff Built City. There .is njo other alty jln the United States that has been favored by the high protective tariff of the Republican party as Pittsburg, Pa. That city is the centre of the steel trust manufacturing plants, and it has more millionairs that any place of its size in the planet. As the Re publican party claims that the high protective system is kept up for the benefit or the workingmen, all the working men of Pittsburg ought to be prosperous and happy. But such is not the case by large odds. The September American Magazine, in its department, '"In the Inter preter's House," replies to the vin dications of Pittsburg which have appeared n the daily press of that city in refutation of a severe ar raignment which was published in a earlier issue of the American Mag azine based on the report of the findings of trained investigators who spent eighteen months investigating the conditons in Pittsburg. There seems to be an idea in cer tain quarters of Pittsburg that be cause there has been a general re sponse to appeals for charity in the city during the past year of dis tress, it is unjust to call attention to the conditions under which labor exists there. One indignant editor rehearses the relief work of the last winter. "Seven hundred nd sixty five organizations spent $1,776,114 for charity in Pittsburg last year. The Associated Charities registered over 9,400 families, aided by the various institutions, and there are thousands of cases that have not 'been registered either because they were assisted by private families or by organizations not affiliated with the Associated Charities. Therefore the article we published is a libel! "Could there be a more convinc ing proof of the justice of our com plant? Why in this republic not yet 150 years old at a period when for years harvests have been abundant, when there has been neither war nor plague, where wealth has been pil ing up as never before, should there be a city of millionaires where in one winter nine thousand four hun dred families were registered for relef and thousands of other fam ilies were assisted by private indi viduals or by organizations which did not report what they were dong? Could there be stronger proof that either the system under which we are working or the administration of it is wrong? Could any facts be more damning?unless fit f.s Jhe heart breaking blindness which will con tend at this stage of our development that a man's charity to those who are starving compels silence on the methods by which he amassed his wealth? "It is not lack of generosity to distress that is wanting in the Pittsburg millionaire. It is lack of understanding of fundamental obli gations. By every moral and social law men are forbidden to mass wealth by exploiting their fellows, and that is what the Pittsburg mil lionaires has done; by every uoral and social law the employer of la bor is bound not only to pay a liv ing wage butt to provide djecent, cheerful, human conditions for la bor; that the Pittsburg millonalres has never done, that Pittsburg has never compelled him to do." Poverty and the Church. Ray Stannard Baker, writing in the September American Magazine on what he calls "The Faith of the Unchurched," points out, among other things, the difference in the attitude of the church and its or ganization towards poverty, and that of the societies and organizations which are independent of the church and cannot be termed religious bod ies, tworads the same great prob lem. "One of the deepest, most complex, most dangerous of the problems of our times is that of pov erty. What shall be done for the millions who live along the poverty line or below, who fill the tene ments, Who recruit the Tanks of the unemployed? For a thousand years?always, in fact?the church has been facing the problem of pov erty. "Almsgiving has been one of the bulwarks of church work, and so it continues to be to this day. The church has ever been a mediator between rich and poor; asking of the rich to keep the poor from suf fering. And always the church has acquiesced in poverty. It has quot ed Scripture: 'The poor ye have al ways with you,' and it has acted up on that statement by doling out help, here a little, there a little. It has pal Mated and soothed; the poor have been kept content with the promise that patience in bearing poverty and toil and injustice while other people enjoy unearned wealth and luxury, will win the devout soul the bliss of a distant heaven after death. "And no one, for an instance, would deny that it has been a great and useful and necessary work to comfort the axicted and help the poor; nor that the church has been diligent at it. But while the church has continued at the negative work of palliation and promise, many neo J pie outside of the churches have had ja new vis-ion; they have seen a new light; whole groups of men and wo men are today on fire with the new faith that poverty can be abolished, that in a land which produces more than enough to keep every man. wo man and child in comfort, it is absurd that millions should suffer from want at one end of the social ladder while thousands should de cay with luxury and superfluity at the other end." "Barbarous Mexico." Most of us picture Mexico, says the American Magazine, vaguely as a republic in reality much like our own, inhabited by people a little different in temperament! A little poorer and a I'ttleless advanced, but still enjoying the protection of re publican laws?a free people in the I sense that we are free. Mexico is a country without political freedom, without freedom of spech, without a free press, without a free ballot, without a jury system, without polit ical parties, without any of our j cherished guarantees of life, liberty I and the pursuit of happiness. It is a land where there has been no con test for the office of president for more than a generation, where the executive rules all things by means of a standing army, where political offices are sold for a fixed price, where the public school system in vast country districts is abolished because a governor needs the mon ey. Mexico is a land where the peo ple are poor because they have no rights, where peonage is the rule for the great mass and where actual chattel slavery obtains for hundreds of. thousands. This is certainly news to many of us, and it is a wonder that the people down there submit to such a condition of things. President Taft says he will de fend the tariff act to the last ditch. This severs all connection between him and the Republicans who voted against that measure, and will ne cessitate the. -taking <0f Roosevelt by them as their Presidential candi date in 1912. Notice. On the 15th day of September, 1909, at 11 o'clock, the Supervisors of Barnwell and Orangeburg coun ties will let out to the lowest re jsponsible bidder the contract to build the main bridge over the South Edisto river, on the new road lead ing from Springfield in Orangeburg I county to a point near Black's store in Barnwell county. The contract ! will be let at the point on the river where the bridge is to be construct ed. Specifications for the construc tion of the said bridge can be seen there prior to the time set for the bidding to commence. The right H hereby reserved to reject any and all bids. J. F. D. FELDER, Supervisor. Obituary. The many friends of Mr. Josiah I'D. Way were shocked and saddened at hearing of his sudden death on last Friday morning. A kind and loving father has been taken from his devoted children, a good neigh bor gone from a community which is better from having him live in it. The brave Confederate soldier has passed on to join the immortal army which waits on the other side. How often we have heard his cap tain speak of "Josiah Way" in terms of high praise, telling of his haven in battle, and his sympathy for his sick and suffering comrades. We have seen him in his home, sur ; rounded by his loved ones, and his devotion to them, and their's to him, was something beautiful to see. ! But now the golden cord is broken, and we shall see him here no more. He sleeps in the St. George cemetery, beneath a flower covered mound. One particularly striking emblem was the beautiful laurel wreath sent by the local chapter, Daughters of the Confederacy. Sleep, soldier; rest they warfare oer, And dream of battlefields no more. C.

HANDS ?ND FEET TCHED12 YEARS Suffered Terribly from Eczema ? which Made Hands and Feet Swell, Peel and Get Raw ?Arms Affected, Too?Gave Up Hope of Cure. USED CUTICURA AND WAS QUICKLY CURED "I suffered from eczema on my hands, arms and feet for about twelve years, my hands and feet would swell, sweat and itch, then would become callous and got very dry, then peel off and get raw. I tried most every kind of 6alve and ointment without success, only got temporary relief. As soon as I would leave off using them I would be as bad as ever. I tried several doctors, took arsenic for two years and at last gave up thinking there was a cure for eczema. A friend of mine insisted on my trying the Cuticura Remedies but, supposing they were the same as other 1 cures' I had tried, I did not give them a trial until I got so bad that I had to do something. I secured a cake of Cu ticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Oint ment and a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent and by the time they were used I could see a vast improvement and my hands and feet were healed up in no time. I used several bottles of Cuticura Re solvent. This was over a year ago and have had no trouble since. I think I am entirely cured. Charles T. Bauer, R.F.D. 65, Volant, Pa., Mar. 11, 1908."
