One fault in a man is of more consequence to him than a thousand in that of his neighbor. We outgrow many things and man ners, and customs and opinions change, but the moral law does not change, neither has society outgrown it. The great thing is to be ready when opportunities come. To be ready five minutes after they have passed means bitter disappointment and failure. To be able to say or do a kind thing and yet not do it is bad for the one who would have benefltted by the kindness, but it is infinitely worse for one who neglects to do It. The Charlotte. Observer says: "Finding that Columbia's Taft ban quet would be a Dutch treat at ten dollars per, Senator Tlllman was well within his rights when he turned down the invitation." The militant suffragettes in Eng land seem to be afflicted with hyste ria or an epidemic of violence. To the average man it does not took as if they would help their cause by hurling inkstands ?t judges and through courtroom windows. 1 If Halley's comet, which is already beginning to scare some timid peo ple, would but produce the same ef fect upon delinquent subscribers to newspapers and make them pay up. it would be a financial benefit as well as an astronomical curiosity. Instead iof clioatiug down, why don't the mills fix a price for their goods and refuse to sell it for any less? Are they like the farmers use to be, compelled to take any old price that may be offered to them for the output of the mills. II is not costly furniture, or car pets or works of- art that, make a home, but love, trust, faithfulness and thoughtfutuees. With these the smallest house, scantily furnished, is a real home; without them the must stately mansion is nothing better than a tomb. The English cotton mills are con trolled by a sharp lot of mill men. They cry curtailment of production, but' are gobbling up' cotton as fast as they can at about fourteen coats. A little later they will" be selling bur mills cotton at fifteen or six teen cents per pound. What is the use of going through life with glum countenance and me lancholy voice? God never meant that any man should do that . The sunny smile, the cheery word and the capacity to always look on the bright side are what is needed for oue's own good and that of the world. The time for idling or. rather, leisure is old age, not youth. There is scarcely any sight more pitiful than of a young man idling his time away, thereby sapping his manhood and degenerating into a crone and a burden upon society. Let a man be industrious in his youth and prime of life that in eld age he may en joy the leisure and tranquillty he has earned by hla labor. The old idea that the first man tints cursed in being compelled to v.ork. and that in consequence all work is a drudgery fit only for menials, is happily out-groWn. Wo now recognize the dignity of labor and how that through it, and through it alone, all progress i3 made. Work, <o fact, rests upon ft he principle that whatever may bo the present condition of things that condition can bo improved by labor. President Taft has set foot on foreign soil and no catastrophe has followed. The foundations of the mighty deep have not been shat tered, neither have the heavens fal len. This must bo quite ? shock to those people who thought no pres ident should visit another country because no president over had. Per haps it is just as well that an in telligent, progressive nation has ?shown that it is superior to such unreasoning prejudices. It sometimes costs too much to get rich. There are other th.igs more valuable than money and when those other things are sacrificed for sako of money the pri:-e paid is toe high. In the lust ofr wealth men not uuoften lose all sympathy with and f/OOjSidcratlon for others 'and also lose all interest in public affairs, except as they financially affect them. When all this is allowed to go on jincbecked^ the soul shrivels , up and becomes as hard and'metallic ?s the coin itself after which men grasp. Ask Your Congressman. The Jeffersoi'.ian Magazine wants to know if the accommodating Repre sentative for whom you have been voting, and who has been gladden ing your heart with garden seed and copies of speeches which read so much better than the record of his votes^is in your midst again. That cordial smile and glad-hauu are making the rounds of the dis trict once more, are they not? Let us make a suggestion. Ask youi Congressman a few questions. Try to find out what he did for you, in Washington. Ask him if he is one of the gen tlemen who voted themselves an in crease in salary?an increase of $2. 500 per year. If he says "Yes." and defends his action, inquire his rea sons for slipping the Salary Grab through Congress without a record vote. If the grab was right, why was he unwijling for his name to go on record that way? Down to three years ago, the sala ry was $5,000 per year. Consequent ly, your Congressman was paid $10,000 of your money, for about eight months of his valuable time. Resides, he was allowed big mile age?considerably more than his ac tual traveling expenses. Without Buying a word to yow about his intentions, your publric servant jumped the amount of his wages from $5,000 to $7,500 per year. And he did it in such a way that the Congressional Record does not reveal his name. The vote did '^ot go upon record. They were; afraid, or ashamed, to let you see who it was that had pleaded with you so hard for a $5,000 job, and who then, without consulting you, changed It into a $7,500 job. Was your Congressman one of the men who sneakily added $2,500 to his wages? Was he one of the men who put his own valuation upon his services, and took $15,000 of your mouey for about eight months' stay in Washington. Ask him. , Ask him. if he voted with the Lumber Tru6t and against free lum ber. If he did ask your smiling, handshaking Congressman why he voted for the Lumber Trust and against every man lu his district who had to build a house in violation of the Democratic platform on which he was elected? Blonder Or Crime. Napoleon said that a blunder was worse than a crime. Viewed by results that is oftentimes true. Just now it looks as if Spain had made the worst kind of a blunder in shooting Prof. Ferrers, and the results arc not unlikely to prove disastrous. Of course we cannot tell how far, if at all, Ferrers was to blame, but when Spanish history is considered it is probable he had Rood grounds, for his political attitude. That he was a learned and able schol ar of upright life is conceded. Any way Spain would have stood better in the eyes of the world, and her in ternal affairs would have profited, if a lighter penalty had been imposed. As it is the old Spanish cruetly and reactiotiisiu have triumphed. As for Ferrers he will be regarded as a martyr by millions of his country men and others, and martyrs have a wonderful knack, dead though they may be. of exerting a mighty influ ence. The Spanish king and govern ment have let loose the wind; they may thful: themselves lucky if they aro not swept away by the whirl wind. Stick to Your Town. If you have made up your mind! to live In a town, then stand up for it, and If you know positively no good, then silence is golden. Do all you can to help along every man who is engaged iu legitimate busi ness. Do not send away for every thing nice you want and still ex pect the home men to keep a stock to suit the whim of one or two customers. The Buceess of your fel low townsman will be your success. No man llveth to himself and no man does business independently of his fellow business men. Take your home paper. Do not imagine the big dailies fill up all this space. There are many little crevacies of a good ch^r, Focial sunshine, per sonal mention, in the home paper that the big dailies do not print Tben do not abuse your neighbor. The ma'n difference in the number Of bis faults and your own is that you see through a magnifying glass as a critic. The 111 omened, the croaks, can do a town more harm in a miuute than two good citizens can repair in a month. Hallowe'en. Since the time of which "Bobbie" Burnct wrote. Whon fairioa light On Casjiillls Downans dance. Or owre the lays in splendid blaze On sprightly coursers prance. Hallowe'en has lost much of its mys tery and popularity. Now October 31, is mainly celebrated by young boys in playing pranks, whereby gated and many oih< r things disap pear from their accustomed places, thereby ccuslng much vexation of spirit and. we fear, no little pro fanity and loss of temper. Yet the night may be. and often Is. spent in pleasant social ways with merry games and novel celebration. Any way It is a good thing to keep up in some degree the old customs, mi nus the superstitions once connect ed with them. Growing Popular. Out door pageants have caught the popular taste. Those at Quebec last year and at Lake Champlain and on the Hudson this year were pronounc ed successes. The nation is now old enough and rich enough in history to make these shows both valuable and attractive. Then, too, the con ditions of climate are much mori favorable for such affairs than those of England where they originated and whore their success has been phenominal. Within the next few years Ve may expect to see very many States and communities holding such pageants in which the princi pal historic events and the various stages of commercial and other ad vancement will be fittingly portray ed. The recent celebration at King" Mountain was along the right line, and such celebrations should be multiplied all over the South. Summons fop Relief. State of South Carolina, County of Orangeburg.

FAMOUS cKay Stalk Cutter THE McKAY CUTTER has the best st-el wheels; heavy, malleable, flanged hubs with movablo boxes, which ean be replaced when worn out, thus having prac tically a new set of wheels. Rims of wheels are iquare eJged like wagon tire, and not thin oval-edged like our competitors use. Wheels are strong and "\hunky" and not liable to spring and dish ns others. The cylinder flanges of the McKay Cutter have a con cave web botwoen spokes making It practically impos sible for them to break, and the cylinder has a perpendic ular range of 8" which is greater than moat others. The entire weight of the McKay Cutter, with the operator in seat, can be most easily transferred from ground wheels to cylinder blades?the entire weight of both man and machine?with a direct and positive pressure. And it will cut l.irger and greener stalks closer to the ground, short er, an 1 more satisfactory than any other cutter. THE DRAG HOOKS TO THE McKAY CUTTER are the most perfect, being operated entirely by the foot and having a SEPARATE AND DISTINCT ADJUSTMENT from that of cylinder. Operator does not have to throw cylinder lever ??very ttme he desires to raise drag hooks, but simply pruSa the foot and up they go. Only two minutes are re quired to take them eff entirely, if not needed. Come in today and see this cutter. Write me for names of some who have tried them.
