Paso, Texas, will give Mr. Taft a $200 gold trimmed iooibrero hat. What will he do with it? i ; -l?- our "women's colleges would fw* give the degree of "Doctor of ?o?kery" they would fill a long felt want. "A- ?? ? ? If- the North Pole controversy is to be settled by the manners of the Contestants, Cook's done got the COOq skin. What can be the matter with Ted-1 d-7? He has not let a waiting world kioow what he thinks of the Cook Peary controversy.

The Government has called off the war games because they cost too much. They should never have been stAi>?ed as a better use could hare b<*en found for the money cast on tneoi. One of the most remarkable thing* la connection with the' big celebra tion that took place in New York w*3 that the old town would take euch a long respite from dollar Cubing. A .St.. Louis man offers a blue button, to every man in that city who 'gives his seat In a street car to 4 lady. There was a time in the South when men would do such tfti?gs without any Inducements. The Geographical Society asks the oxpforers to submit their proofs, but why should Cook care to bother his head with .'tiresome questions of ?jtUt?de and longitude when he is QignWy scooping la a small fortune. Republican platform builders have a hard job before them this fall. Taejr will have to kill off the in come tax amendment while seem ing to endorse Taft's action in get Ua? it before the different legis latures. G-?o. Fred Grant has become a toftti abstainer. Formerly the tee totallers were general regulators of oilier folks morals, but there is a no3t of people now who cut out liquor .because it is not a business proposition. Mrs. Belmont says a woman will b" president of the United States in Iweuty years. Maybe so. She is now running a neck anil neck race with the* man who will be elected pres ident of the Daughters of the Ameri can Revolution. Cook is facing better than the] Successful explorers of the olden tim? The public pays five hundred a uight to look at him, but poor Old Columbus was s'.-nt home in Chains, and the continent he explor ed bears the name of another. it -is said that in the feud belt ?of Kentucy a man fells for his. p?H*ot before asking his neighbor what he thinks of the Cook-Peary i row It is almost as bad over in] C-eorgia, where a judge came to biows with another citizen about the] ??.Dtorers. Kr. Harriman was said to have ex pressed the wish that he was a firmer instead of a financier, be cause it would have meant for him greater contentment and happiness. Ther-.' are many wishes which are unattainable, but thie wish for a farmer's life could have been realiz ed i>> Mr. Harriman any day he Chose. He had but to turn his back oi Wall street and stick close to the soil. But evidently it was but a sentimental wish, uot meant to b? taken seriously, and that is the case with ? many of our expressed pre ferences. Renegade Democrats. The Gaffney Ledger says it "ad mires the attitude and applauds the sentiment of Representative Richardson, of Alabama, who comes forth in honest manly protest against any policy of minimizing or apologiz ing for the apostasy of renegade Democrats in congress." In a let ter to Mr. James Lloyd, of Missouri, chairman of the Democratic congres sional campaign committee, Mr. Rich ardson says: - "You know that the last Demo cratic national platform was repud iated by leading and distinguished Democrats. It seems to me it will not do for your committee to apolo gize, for, excuse or condone the acts or votes of Democrats who uttered such declarations of cast such votes. I contend that when the Denver na tional Democratic platform declared that 'lumber, timber and logs' should be on the free list it declared noth ing in the world but a Democratic policy and a Democratic principle; To succeed in electing a Democratic house for the 62nd congress we must above all things else, secure the con I fidence of the people, and that cannot be done except by a bold and fear less declaration of Democratic prin ciples in behalf of a tariff for rev ? enue ? in the interest of the masses j of the people. I "We-wili be contending with an i able, bold, watchful and active poli- j tical foe. Distinguished men of that party will exultantly point out how, when and where the Payne-Aldrich bill got aid and help from Democratic ( votes, without which it would not: have been successful. How can we' meet such a charge? I believe that I we should stand fearlessly for Demo-j I cratic principles on the tariff in be- j half of the masses of the people and against combined wealth and mono poly, and without hesitancy declare j j that any vote cast by any Democrat i in opposition to that line of policy was un-Democratic and for which the Democratic party is not responsible." The Ledger says "Representative Richardson is right. The Democrat ic party cannot expect 'the confi dence of the people if it seeks to justify the stultification of Demo cratic principles by any of its repre sentatives." We endorse every word the Ledger says." Vie have been preaching the same doctrine for months. All renegade Democrats should be kicked out, and men sent in their places who can be trusted to vote for the people instead of the lumber and other trusts. ? ? ? ? Items from North. The time arrived Tuesday for the ones going to the Cedar Spring In stitution for the Blind and Deaf. Prof. W. L. Walker, son of Dr. N. F. Walker, met the crowd. The pupils came from every direction and boarded the Southern train for Spar tanburg. It was a great encourage ment to-the sighted friends of our school to see sd many who perhaps would be unable to make their liv ing if it was not for the good that the school and its officials are do ing. It is a great mistake of our people who do not realize the ben efit of sending their afflicted one6 to such a place of good chances. It is very important that the blind and deaf 'children of our State should be treated with the same meanB of education opportunities as those in the North. The Northern States are putting forth every effort in trying to give to their rr.isfortunate ones the rights of education. It is given up that New England and a few oth er States, have the best schools. Now, why should our State allow this to be true? The many beggars of our country are either deaf, dumb or blind. Since there has been a place provided for . their good, and wear ing the honors of education, let our parents look up schools of this kind and send their children to partake in the joys and benefits of educa tion. Our school is conducted by one of our old soldiers and one who is a man of great brain and who can realize the good of his work. It is being said by the pupils of the South Carolina Institution for the Deaf and Blind, that there is not another 6chool possessing the man we do. There is great work in the world for the blind and deaf, if they are allowed the opportunities of getting, an education. Our school has started now. It is good that the pupils are beginning to take hand in the school. It will gradually increase in the future. North is again in good health, and the people can come and trade without being afraid. Can't See U That Way. In commenting on the paragraph i in which we said "it is a great pity,' that the Southern cotton mills feel j called on to go to the aid of the j boars in depressing the price of the South's great staple." the Colum bia State says: "We believe that The Times and Democrat is possibly la boring under a misapprehension. We presume that its reference is to the fact that the Southern cotton mfns has declared that they will probably . have to close down. But they are1 going to close down, not because of the high price of cotton?at least so | we have been told by a cotton-mill official?but because there will simp ly not be enough cotton this year to keep die mills running. This, it will be seen, is an attitude likely not to depress the cotton market' but actually to stimulate it and make the prices higher than they are. ? We hope The State is right, but we can't see it that way. In the same | issue that the above article appeared in The State that journal published j a dispatch from New York in which I it was stated that the meeting of, the Southern spinners at Charlotte for the purpose of curtailing the output had helped to depress the! market and cause lower prices. The Harvest Season. The final results of the yoar's crops appear to average considerably ahead of the ordinary year, in spite of the big disappointment on the cotton crop. This cannot be due wholly to increase of population on Western farms. It must be still more the result of gradual adoption of scientific methods. A few years ago the farmers were laughing at agricultural colleges and at farming by nrofessors. They thought they had the only correct method of ag riculture handed down by their grandfathers and no one could add to or subtract from this sum of knowledge. Better farming, special trains, and the patient work of ex periment stations have shown the farmer that he was wrong, 'the one great thing still needed is more system. The majority of farmers still lay out their work in a hap hazard fashion. They do not have a regular 'time lablje for ,thetr operations. There is a general fail ure to keep strict accounts of profits and losses in individual animals and properties. But nevertheless, the farmer is fast acquiring these busi ness methods.
