The London Chronicle, in com menting on the great achievement of Dr. Cook, says "all honor to the dar ing man, who, having been given up for dead, has appeared with the news of victory." Newberry is a rich little city. The Observer &ays it has over eight mil lion dollars worth of taxable proper ty within its bounds. That lays over Orangeburg a few. But has not the Observer made a mistake? Senator Tillman is visiting his recollections of the days that tried men's souls which preceded the re demption of the State by the Hamp ton campaign. He will open the eyes of some of the younger genera tion. The News and Courier says "there is every likelihood that in years to come the news which the press dis patches carry this morning of Dr. Cook's discovery of the long sought North. Pole will be looked upon as the most interesting event cf the year 190-9." The, geographical problem of the ages seems to have been solved by Dr. Cook. In the language of The News and Courier, "hats off to this intrepid explorer who has won im mortality for himself and added so splendidly to the sum total of Amer ican achievements." . Is your boy or girl ready for school, which will soon open? Don't ,rob your boys or girls of their in-' tellectual growth and make mental dwarfs of them, when they might become intellectual giants. Educa tion doubles the earning capacity of a boy or girl. Send yours to school if you have to make a sacri fice to do so. Make up your mind that whatever you may have done in the past you . will in the future wear your clouds "inside out. and show the lining." We all have clouds, but that is no reason why we should draw the at tention of the world to them. It is ?4he t>rave, cheerful soldiers who in spire the others. So if you can't get what you like, determine to like what you have or at all events to make the best of it and go on your way bravely, without complaining. There should he no "faction" in any city. The -operty of one in dividual and every improvement mad? enhances the value of all prop erty in the corporation. Our cuy is simply one big family. When this is discovered there is little pro gress. When there is a united pull for anything, its accomplishment is made easy. Envy, jealousy and ha tred are things to be despised. Envy is . a canker that gnaws at the heart and makes folks sour, disgruntled and unhappy; jealousy warps the in tellect and makes us unfair in pass ing judgment. Little surprise was felt at the fail- j ure of Walter Wellman's second at tempt to reach the pole by the air route. Great as has been the ad-' yance in aeronautics in recent years, j that advance has not been sufficient | to justify the hope that under pres- i ent conditions such a venture would ! be successful. Doubtless in time When further improvements shall ? have been made the obstacles of cli mate and air currents will be over Come, and somo future Wellman or , Andree .in a monoplane or some other aerial coutrivance will reach the pole and gidn eternal fame. Crete occupies a peculiar position among the nations. It nominally be longs to Turkey which is not allowed to administer its affairs. Nearly all Its population is Greek and Chris tian, yet Greece dare not annex it. four of the great powers that have no historic or racial connection with it have for years carried on the gov ernment and preserved order. Crete Itself is unanimous for annexation to Greece. Turkey will not give up its title, and the four powers who might easily give the Cretans the opportunity to carry out their wishes rofi' le to do so. Altogether it is a q. cer mix up. That young man. who thinks ho is poor because ho has no bank ac count, little understands the value of God's free gift of health and strength, little appreciates the fact that the brightest and best of the country are self-made, and come to the notice of the world from just euch beginnings. Not by idly moan ing that they are poor, but by going carefully to work, perfecting them selves in their chosen pursuits and becoming so useful to those about them that their services are always ' in demand, whether it be on the platform, in the shop or in the kitch en, for all are honorable alike. "Tariffs and Votes." TJndjfcr Ihe above caption, The News and Courier gives those Dem ocrats who deserted their party and voted with the Republicans to un duly tax the people when the tariff bill was up in Congress a deserved roast. The News and Courier very truly says "time was when princi ple meant more to the people of the South than anything else. For it they threw away the material com forts which they had gathered from a new land, and for it they poured their blood unstintedly. The Dem ocratic party has never stood for anything if it has not stood for the principle that protection is robbery, no more, no less. An effort to share in the proceeds of that robbery can by no sophistical reasoning be made praiseworthy unless at the same time it be acknowledged that Protection is a good thing in itself." In answering the New Orleans Picayune, which paper fully endorses its Senators and representatives in voting with the Republicans for a protective tariff, and says "Louisia na's Senators and Representatives must stand for Louisiana and its people above all others." The News and Courier says "our New Orleans contemporary is simply endorsing the theory which says that robbery is wrong, but since men will rob it is wise to get in with the most famous and successful robbers. That is what 'Old Molassaes' did and it Is what the Picayune advocates. It speaks of 'Daniel, who has been al ways held as a model of ancient Democracy.' Perhaps so. The term is a good one. Ancient Democracy! Foster and McEnery and Soule and Benjamin! A mess of pottage in a modern day! "It is true, as the Picayune says, that these Democratic Senators will make but a sorry showing on the rostrum when they begin to thunder their empty words against the rob bery traiff. A smile will no doubt play on the features of the men themselves as they speak, and the laughter of the audience, if there is any, will be ominous. 'Old Molas ses,' the staunch friend of protec tion, talking about free anything, unless it be free spoils, is decidedly humorous. And 'Old Pineapples,' he who was willing to trade his inher itance for a mere pittance and never get even that, how serious will he appear? High protectionists mas querading acder the banners of the Democracy are too grotesque for words. "The Congressional elections will be fought by the Democrats on the platform that the present tariff is monstrous. To fight on such a plea means to the Picayune that many of the present Senators will be read out of the party. Not at all. They have voted themselves out of it. Tbey have made It difficult for the Democracy to seriously ask men's votes on a plea that the present act is wrong. But even so, if the peo ple can be convinced of the sinceri ty of those who will offer as candi dates on the pledge that they will oppose protection in all its forms, If we do not judge incorrectly, the present system of graft under the name of law will be delivered so hard a body blow that it will never recover, and perhaps the recreant Democratic Senators will mingle with its ashes." So ought the re creant Democratic Representatives. Suggestions to Merchants. The remedy for the mail order business rests with home merchants. If instead of sitting down in despair or gloomily telling people how their trade is cut by the mail order hous es, they would bui. imitate some of the features of those houses, and then go one better, they would have no cause to complain of poor trade. It is by profuse and timely adver tising, aud by getting that adver tising into the homes, the mail order business, thrives. Too often the home merchant contents hirnsolf with a small unattractive ad that does not appeal to people. When thai h th-j ca-e ne alone is to blame if ihe mail ruder house gets the best of him. Let the homo merchant catch the eye by generous and timely adver tising in which the quality and va riety of his goods are set forth. Let him also point out how in the home store the customer s>ees the goods j before he buys them, that he does not have to pay in advance, that if i his credit is good credit is given, and that there are no vexatious de lays in delivering the goods (all of which are advantages the customer of a mail order house never has) and business will flourish. It may he said that people know this already. Probably they do, but it is necessary to get them to rea lize it. and that is done by constant ly keeping at it. The mail order houses tell the public the same thing over and over again until the pub lic is made to acknowledge their statements as the truth. This is exactly what the home merchant should do. He should persistently tell the puhjic what he has and show that it is to the interests of ' people to buy from him. Then he' will get the business. Cook Bagged Great Game. The New International Year Book for 190S says of Dr. Cook's expe dition: "Dr. K. A. Cook left New York in the summer of 1907, osten sibly on a Greenland hunting trip, but when his vessel returned, leav ing him In Northwest Greenland, it was learned that his real purpose was to attempt to reach the North Pole. It was found, when Peary reached Etah, last summer, that on March ?,, 1908, Dr. C;>ok started from Annatok with eight Eskimos, four sledges, and twelve dog teams, to travel across Grlnnell and Grant Lands to the Arctic Ocean, where his journey over the sea would begin. The only news from him was a let ter dated two weekB after his start, informing his white comrade, Mr. R. Francke, that he was on the west coast of Grinnell Lane, making his way north. Mr. Francke came home on the Erik." Dr. Cook certainly bagged great game when he found the North Pole. Ranks With Columbus. In speaking of the discovery of the North Pole by Dr. Frederick Cook, The News and Courier says, "At the moment when all the world is applauding the conquest of the air, the modest gentleman returns from the frozen North with the tro phies of a great victory, perhaps the greatest victory that any explorer has achiexed since Columbus braved the dangers of 'the Western seas and discovered the land whose peo ple have now in their turn added to the vision of the earth dwellers. Few people in America knew that Dr. Cook was making any effort to find the Pole. Like Columbus, he held to a new theory, that he could gain the goal In the winter time, and unwilling to face the ridicule which would dobtless have been heaped upon him by other scientists had he made known his plans, he went quietly about his business. Success is his and nobly has he won it." Lieut. Peary Knew Them. In the light of the reports of Dr. Cook's discovery of the North Pole, the closing words of Lieut. Peary's account of his expedition given in "Nearest the Pole" are interesting. Writing about the Eskimos, he says: "I have often been asked: Of what use are Eskimos to the world? They are too far removed to be of value In commercial enterprises and furthermore, they lack ambition. They have no literature, nor, prop erly speaking, any art. They value life only as does a fox, or a bear, purely by instinct. But, let us not forget that these people, trustwor they and hardy, will yet prove their value to mankind. With their help, the world shall discover the Pole." A prediction which seems to have been verified even earlier than the author of it expected?or perhaps hoped, says The News and Courier. Benefit to the Masses. Monday is Labor Day. This day is a yearly reminder of the progress the working classes have made in recent years and of the strength of organized labor. As one views the marching ranks of labor he naturally contrasts the present social condition of the laborer with what it was years ago when each individual stood alone in his endeavor to better his lot. The experience of those days led to the union of forces and to that union must be credited most of the better wages, shorter hours of labor and other advantages now en joyed by the working classees. Unionism has not always been wise ly conducted but in spite of many mistakes it has proved a benefit to the masses. Class Notes From St. John's Chapel. The Baraca class of St. John's Chapel met regularly during the month of August. Although the at tendance has not been large, good has been accomplished. The Phila thea's and Juniors are also organiz ed. These classes are in their in fancy, but we hope to see them grow strong and vigorous, developing into full and perfect manhood and wo manhood. Already we see signs of growth in i . Increased attendance in the Bible class-es of the Sunday School. A good number are in their places each Sunday afternoon. At a joint meeting of Baraca's and Phil athea's It was resolved that the membership committee of each class, work for the other (Baraca's for Philathea's and Philathea's for Ba raca's) in securing new members. It was also decided to have an ice cream festival to increase the funds of the classes. This festival was held on last Saturday evening, Au gust 2S, at the home of Mr. A. E. Davis, and was quite successful. The young folks had a good time and a nice little sum was added to the treasury. The classes have bought their literature and class pins and have met all "heir expenses up to date. The Junior's had a meeting on Wednesday evening, Sept. 1, con ducted by Mrs. Wright. They will meet again before Sunday school (3:30 o'clock), on next Sunday af ternoon. Let all the boys and girl3 come to this meeting. We are praying and trusting that this work may become a power for good to all with whom it comes in contact. "Not to the strong is the battle, Not to the swift is the race, But to the true and the faithful Victory is promised through grace." Reporter. Notice to Creditors.
