Enough hot air is being generat ed by the rival camps of Cooksites and Pearyites to affect the temper ature of the north pole. In a speech at Winona, Minn., on Friday, President Taft defended the tariff steal recently engineered through Congress by Aldrlch, Payne & Co. Yet some folks say that the President is in favor of tariff re form. The people of this section are nf the opinion that Dr. Cook was the first white man to reach the North Pole and that Peary is trying to cheat him out of the honor. For this reason Peary's story of his trip did not create any enthusiasm here. The claim made by Peary that he and not Cook discovered the North Pole, reminds us of the effort of Sampson and his friends to steal the honor of the victory at Santiago from Schley, and it will be just about as successful. Earth has few tragedies more pa thetic than that of a man so filled With the lust of wealth that he gradually loses all that is beauti ful and ennobling in life and de generates to a mere money-making machine. The merchant who does not ad vertise, the man who spends the day gossping on the street corner, and the man who always opposes every project, however good, designed to better the town, are anything but a help to the place in which they live. The Times and Democrat use to believe that all the talk about the State dispensary officials feathering their nests atf the expense of the ! State was hot air. but it seems from the revelation that are being unfold ed that it was a reality. Our slogan now is, let no guilty grafter escape. We are glad to see so many of. our young people.going off to attend the different colleges in the State. Bright boys' and girls have gone from . every part of Orangeburg county, I and we wish them all good health land 'pleasant surroundings during their college life. We were asked the other day if we were the Bryan Democrat in Or angeburg who was seeking a job at the hands of the Republican ma chine. We have never asked a Dem ocratic administration for a job yet, and we are sure that we will never compromise our Democracy by seeking one at the hands of a Re publican administration. The symposium on needed reforms in school management and tuition conducted by noted educators in* a monthly periodical indicates a wide difference of opinion. This was to be expected considering the influence of local conditions and the varied in dividual tastes and preferences. Our school system in most States, and most people can see where, in their judgment, improvements may well be made. The history of the world has mainly been that of a few men who have loomed large on the horizon and who have performed great deeds-, some good and some bad. Today the appearance indicate that while in the future the number of great men may relatively not be large, the toiling many will come more to the front by virtue of greater industrial and political power, in creased intelligence and vastly im proved social conditions. Most people recognize the consum nate business ability and thorough ness possessed by Mr. Harriman. But they also recognize that many df his methods were vicious and that the centering of so much pow er in the hands of one man was a menace to the government and de trimental to the public good. That feeling will lead to an increased de mand that our '.present aconomtfc system be so changed as to prevent in future any such dangerous cen tralization of wealth and power. At. the recent meeting in Winnipeg of the British Association it was stated that in hot countries and un der a clear sky the heat derived from the sun was 7.000 horse-power per acre, and that although engineers have not yet learned to utilize it in time they will. This is comfort ing to those who fear the exhaustion or our coal fields and the inade quecy of water pow< r. But what if it should ultimately ,mean the transfer of our manufacturing cen tres from Pittsburg and other east ern cities to Arizona and New Mexi co, and the European centres to the Sahara desert. The Ship Subsidy Steal. ! The Chicago Inter-Ocean announc es that many congressmen have been converted to the ship subsidy idea ?after-seeing, ? a number of ships in the San Francisco harbor idle for lack of profitable trade. The Pro gressive Farmer says this is another striking' illustration of the vicious extent to which we have gone with 'the doctrine of hnving thr* govern ment make profits for commercial industries by artificial means when I ever they cannot be earned by natur al means. This means, in effect, that the farmers and all other class es who in their business compete with all the world, must be taxed and robbed of their hard-earned money j in order to support an industry that does not wish to face competition, [but demands special favors and sup port from the government. It is high time, indeed, for Re publican farmers everywhere to get behind Senators Cummins, Dolliver, ! LaFallette ? and others who have re solved that there shall be an end to further taxing of the farmers for ; the benefit of the commercial classes. For a long time it has been said: ;"We want a certain line of manu facturing, therefore, we will tax all : the people of the country enough to* make this line of manufacturing profitable--rSupport fit, yhether or j not men at its head put industry, skill and intelligence enough into it-to make it stand on its feet in a fair fight with its competitors." Now, it is proposed to follow the same course with shipping trade, and Democratic farmers should see to it that the men they send to Con gress are opposed to the ship sub sidy steal and all other steals by which the protected interests put their hands in their pockets and rob them of their hard earned cash. Fortunately, however, there are in dications all over the country and in all political parties of growing revolt against the whole vicious sys tem of special privilege by which the agricultural classes have been robbed and the commercial classes enriched. If the present policy- is to go on, the farmer may well say: "It is desirable for me to grow tlfalfa on my farm. Unfortunately, I cannot get a stand and cannot make it pay; I demand, therefore, that the government give me a bounty large enough to make my profits per acre equal those of alfalfa growers in more favored sections." The true policy, however, is not for the farm ers of the South to fall into this attitude, but to insist rather upon reforms which will put the govern ment back upon the ideals of the fathers who declared for "equal rights to all and special favors to none." Two School Groups. Again the old school bell chimes out "come," and as we look forth and see the groups of boys and girls on their way to school, we note some whose elastic step and cheerful faces are highly indicative of the soul and mind, and all such will prove a bless ing to themselves, their teachers and their school. This group differ very materially from the other group we mention below. Their actions show their anxiety for work; their recitations well giv en, and they will attain to that round on the ladder of fame and learning called suicce:s. They will master all knotty problems, not only in school but in life. They will not require punishment in order to teach them the necessity of getting their lessons. They, study because they love to; are industrious and ener getic from principle; their life will be a success. Following domes another group of boys whose lagging steps and sul len faces show that* the sound of the bell grated harshly upon their ears. These boys will prove unruly, unkind and, unlike the other class named, will take* but little interest in their work, and at the end of the year, in spite of a teacher's earnest efforts in their behalf, will be but little farther advanced than in the beginning. VY-e need not say what the result will be in the latter case, but to these boys' parents we wish to say, try to cultivate in their- minds a love for the school and school work. See tn it that they are in school every day; that their report cards show a good grade or know why such is not the case. In other words, see if you can't control your boys and not depend upon the teacher to do it. It seems that Aldrich gave Taft his orders before he started his journey as to what to say about the tariff steal. In Memoriam. Lie following resolutions were unanimously adopted by St. Paul's Methodist Sunday School, at its session on Sunday. Sept. 12, on the death of Willie B. Kennedy, who died some days ago.

Pinkham's Vegetable Com 1 pound?" I If any woman who is suffering with any ailment peculiar to her sex will ask her neighbors this question, she will be surprised at the result. There is hardly a community in this country where women cannot be found who have been j restored to health by this famous old remedy, made exclusively from a simple formula of roots and herbs. During the past 30 years we have published thousands I of letters from these grateful women who have been cured ? by Lydia ?. PinkhamY Vegetable C^ipound, and never in all that time have we published a testimonial without tHe writer's special permission. Never have we knowingly published, a testimonial that was not truthful and genuine. Here is one just received a few days ago. If anyone doubts that this is a true and honest statement of a woman's experi ence with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound write and ask her. ' Houston, Texa*.?** When I first began taking* Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound I was a total wreck. I had been sick for three years with female troubles, chronic dyspepsia, and a liver trouble. I had tried several doctor's medicines, but nothing did me any good. " For three years I lived on medicines and thought I would never get well, when I read an advertisment of Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound, and was advised to try it. "My husband got me one bottle of the Compound, and it did me so much good I continued its use. I am now a well woman and enjoy the best of health. "I advise all women suffering from such troubles to give " Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound si trial. They won't regret it, for it will surely cure you." ? Mrs. Bessie L. Hicks, 819 Cleveland St., Houston. Any woman who is sick and suffering is foolish surely not to give such a medicine as this a trial. Why should it not do her as much good as it did Mrs. Hicks. and buildings thereon in the City of Orangeburg, In Orange burg coun ty, S.
