When Dr. Brown says our police

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

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.

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.

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.

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,
