The Times and Democrat, Orange burg. S. C. Charleston is to have an eight story office building. Now what do you think of that? Cook has done got the coon skiu and gone on. so Peary may as well call off his dogs and quit the drive. The trouble with the hazing now going on at the colleges is that the j hazer needs this treatment quite as) much as the hazed. It will be no joke to be on the Polar board of inquiry about five years from now. when the final ap peals are being heard at Etah. Green land. The Geographical society peopk should spend their time learning thel Esquim?s' language, the only means) by which the Polar controversy can j be sifted. The strike of the Pie Bakers') Union, of New York, has caused dis tress needing government interven tion quite as much as the coal fam-j ine of 1902. About now the really thrifty householder decides that the best way to rake up leaves is to wait and let the wind blow them to your neighbor's yard. Although Peary says Cook never got beyond 81.30 degrees, the thrif ty doctor believed a man's first duty, is to his family rather than the geo graphical societies. Minister Crane's indiscretion and consequent recall shows that he does not koow the foundation principle of diplomacy, that language was made to conceal thought. W. D. Howeils says the tipping system abroad is almost as bad asj here. Here the lordly waiter frowns on a quarter, over there a ten centj tip evokes enthusiasm. When you see just the right Christmas present, why not buy it now? Thus will you relieve the, dog's life of the clerk before Christ mas of a few kicks and cuffs. Prof. Jacoby, of Columbia, says Polar records could be fabricated. Hereafter- Polar explorers will doj their hardest work on long winter evenings at home with a nautical almanac. Political bosses will mourn at the winning of the Panama libel case by the Indianapolis News. An ad verse decision would have vastly weakened the protection of the pub lic against political evils. Nicaragua has a new president, es tablished by a revolution, in which not a shot was fired. Our football reformers should study the methods by which our Southward neighbors <*o their revoluting so innocently. A writer in the New York Sun says "Hampton and Butler were gal lant soldiers and high minded gen tlemen, but Tillmau has brains enough to make a hundred of them.*' That is high jirai.se fur Tillman. sure. The Washinton Post reflects that i oven if hoop skirts come in. the man will still have as much room as when the.Merry Widow hat was worn. Yet its trying to walk three feet from your best girl under any conditions. Governor Campbell, of Texas bought his first plug hat to welcome 'iaft in. How much better to hav< done it in a Texas sombrero, as if proud of the home fashions, instead of rigging himself out like a Tam many brave. Mr. Taft encourages Arizona to hope for separate statehood, al though this means that under our senatorial system lonely ranch vil lages will get as much power pro-j portionally as large cities in pop ulous States. Europe considers America a crude port of a place, but they are still tumbling over each other over there j lo marry Americau girls with money. John Wanarnaker's grand daiiKhter is the latest prize to slip away from our chappies to a Spauiard. Lots of mud is being slung in the New York election. Astute poli ticians realize that there is no hot ter political card thau to get your opponent into an abusive temper. It tends to create a reaction out ot sympathy for the man attacked. The observance of Columbus day in several States added to the list of days after the night before. But then, many a man who quails when his wife tells him to lug in some wood, revelled in the applause of the populace as he marched on pa rade. Burdens of the Tariff. In the makirg of the tariff law, one would naturally suppose that those least able to bear the burdens of taxation would not be discrimi nated against in favor of those best able to pay the tax involved in any tariff levy. "But what are the facts?" asks a writer in the Com moner. The man who imports $1,000 worth of diamonds pays a tax of but $100?10 per cent. If ho imported a thousand shirts worth a dollar each he would have to leave at the cus toms house and tack onto his sell ing prices $601.60?60.16 per cent. If he decided that he would bring in $1,000 worth of champagne, one of the items upon which there is a large increase, the tax levied by the tariff is $500. If he brought in $1,000 worth of blankets he would pay a tariff tax of $1,645.42. If he brought in $1,000 worth of paintings and statuary, all be would have to pay as customs duties would be $200, but if it were sugar ho would pay $788.70 tax on $1,000 worth. If he brought in $1,000 worth of jewelry he would have to pay $6o0 tariff tax, but if he brought in $1, 000 worth of wool dress goods he would pay $1,050.92 tariff. If he imported a $5,000 auto mobile the tariff takers would re lieve him of $2,250. If it were $5, j 000 worth of yarns the tariff tax would be $6,960. If the importation wore $5,000 worth of furs the tariff tax would 'be $1,650 but if it were $6,000 worth of clothing that tax would be $4, 330. If some New York- Millionaire brings in a $100,000 ocean-going yacht the tariff would be $35,000. but if the importation were stock ings the tariff collected would brt $87,950. Klick Tariff Trick. The Commoner says the casual investigator of the new tariff la* will find apparent reason for con gratulation when he inspects the lumber schedule thereof. Apparent ly there is a total reduction of 14 per cent on the entire schedule, but, If he probes deeper he will find the fraud. When railroads desire to raise rates that will certai\:y be followed by a protest they do it in directly, by changing the classifi oation. The tariff makers follow the same process. Timbers of vary ing sizes make up the building we erect. Under the Dingley law these bore a duty of a cent a cubic foot, on "timber, hewn, sided or squar ed." The new law apparently re duces this rate 50 per cent by mak ing the duty a half a cent, but? and here's the joker; the new par agraph reads: "Timber, hewn, sid ed or squared otherwise than by sawing." the last four words*being new matter. As a cold matter of fact these timbers are not hewn, sided or squared in any other way than by sawing. Hewing is a back number method in lumbering. By the interpolation of the four words, "otherwise than by sawing," squar ed timber is put in the "boards" classification, where the rate is an equivalent of a 50 per cent rai6e over the old rate. Peary on Cook. Before Cook beat him to the pole, Peary seems to have thought a great deal of him and was unstinted in his praise of his successful rival, j In his book, "Northward Over the j Great Ice." Peary referred to Cook iu most complimentary terms. He said: "To Dr. Cook's care may be at | trlbuted the almost complete exemp tion of the party from even the mild est indisposition, and personally, 1 owe much to his professional skill and unruffled patience and coolness in an emergency. In addition to his work in his special ethological field, in which he has obtained a large mass of most valuable ma terial concerning a practically un studied tribe, he was always a help ful and indefatigable worker.' Peary said this of Cook, but since that event he saj's Cook is a liar, a fakir and several other horrid things, but Cook still seems to have .a good stock of "unrudied patience and cooluess in an emergency." Country vs. City Lite. Country life has its drawbacks, but it has its great advantages which overcome them. True, those who live in the country are "Rubes" and 'Farmers" and "hayseeds" to the cigarette smokers in town, but the boast of the business men in the world today is that they were born in a farm. Take away the surround ing evils that beset the young men or women on the threshold of life's journey in the city, and substitute the helpful influence of nature, and you fortify them for the sterner walks in life. The few things which they do not know about table eti quette and when it is proper to leave two visiting cards and when but one. they will catch onto much quicker than city boys and girls will learn to propertly stroke the furanee or make good bread. No boy or girl need be ashamed of living on the farm, for if they have taken advan tage of what it has offered they are well fortified for after life. Ex-Governor St. Joi.n. of Kan.,as. agrees with The Times and Democrat that Teddy will oppose and beat Taft for the next Republican nomination for President. We believe, as we said before, that Teddy will get the nomination, but that he will be de feated at the polls. We have no sympathy whatever for Mr. Chas. B. Crane, who has been kicked out of office before he could reach his post of duty. He had been a good Democrat up to a few years ago, when he became a Republican for office and revenue. He aas-ibeen.served just right. THE STATE FAIR. Special Round Trip IUitrs via South ern Railway. Account Of the above occasion the Southern Railway will sell round trip tickets to Columbia, S.

GuC, who departed this life September 15th, 1909, was a true and faithful Christian. He died in the faith, knowing that all was well with him. His beloved wife, who died several years ago, has been waiting for him. They are now to gether, basking in the sunshine of heaven, where parting is no more. As ho remarked just before he died, holding his right hand heuveuward. and said. "It won t be long before two bright hands will be joined to gether. At the time of his death he was 77 years and 17 days old. At the first call for volunteers he responded, joined the 5th S. C. Cav alry. Butler's brigade. He was wounded twice, but served to the end of the war. When ever he was called on he was (always ready. He was brave and true- as steel. He will he missed by many. He was a gentleman of the old school. He was kind to everybody, a true friend and neighbor. He was always ready to help the needy. He leaves three sons and four daugbtres, and a host of friends to mourn, hut thanks be to God, they know that all is well with him. and that his Redeemer livelh. He was resigned to die. and told his child ren that he had no fear or appre hensoin of death; that he was pre pared to meet his God. An incident happened to him after the war that no soldier of the Civil war could say. While out on a! scout by himself, he captured one oi the enemies' men, treated him kind-' ly and showed his Christian feeling toward a prisoner; brought him to headquarters and requested the of ficers to treat him kind. Several years after the war he was over at Bamberg; he met a man. and he re marked to him. I believe that you are the very man that captured me wh le out scouting. They related the circumstance and place, thanked him for being so kind to him and embraced him. Some of the old cit izens may be living and knew the man. It was .lack O'Kmnder. That showed what kind of a man he was in time of war, as well as in time of peace. He was orderly sergeant of his company; he has answered the last roll call and has crossed the river. H.

Grateful father Tells of CURE ACHIEVED BY CUTICURA REMEDIES "It gives me great pleasure to express tuy deep gratitude in appreciation of the incalculable benefit that the Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent did my little boy.
