Smith could have defeated Lyon for Attorney-General, but Ev ans can't do it by many thousands of votes. iWe can name the next governor ?of South Carolina, .but we do not propose to interfere with the cam paign by doing so. Smith and Brown are having it out again over in Georgia over tihe governorship, and the people are holding, their- noses. The refusalof Governor Ansel to interfere in the Davis case, seals the iate of Pink Franklin, and he may as well get ready for his journey. the city of Nashville, with the aid of Bishop Hendrix and Chancellor Kirkland, is making a bold attempt ?o rob th? Methodist Church of Van "uerbilt University. ; A dispatch from Washington says "freed from executive matters, Pres ident Taft spent his last Sunday for 'the summer in the national capital 3n a quiet way." How else was he expected to spend it? "* There has been a recent advance in auto tires of 20 per cent. If this thing keeps on, the cost of living will be beyond the speed limit so far that it will be impossible for even auto bile people to catch up. We need some hangings in this county. If you do not believe It, go over the long list of killings ths,t nhave taken place here in the last "twenty-five years, and then think of the hangings that should have tak en place. ?Viewing the matter entirely from a layman's standpoint, we are of the opinion that Bishop Hendrix .should be deposed from his high of fice. He has betrayed his church and disgraced the office that it has com mitted to his keeping. Three good men were too much of a sacrifice to pay for the capture of an outlaw like Bostwick, when a lit tle patience and common sense would have captured him without the Iobb of a single man.' It seems to us that the whole affair was managed badly. Margaret Illington says she's tir ed of darning socks and will go back on the stage. There are a few wo men like Margaret Illington in near ly every community, who lay aside the real joys of life for its shadows. But we thank God, there are only a few. The prize fighters who engage in the brutal contest on Monday will receive something like $200,000 from the moving picture people to be> allowed to take the picture of the fight to be exhibited over the coun try. Yet we claim to be a Christian nation. The hanging of Davis yesterday for the brutal murder of his wife a few months ago, should be an ob ject lesson to the members of his race and others who make it a habit of toting a pistol. The murder for which Davis was executed was a most hrutal one, and he deserves just what he got. From this distance it looks as if The New York Legislature sat down on Teddy on Thursday good and strong by refusing to carry out his suggestions in reference to a bill it was considering. This may be put down as Teddy's first snub since he accepted the job to regulate the Republican party. Telegraph operators, agents and clerks in the employ of the South ern railway have recently been treat ed to a raise in salary amounting to from six to eight per cent. Accord ing to the Asheville Citizen the in crease will mean, an addition of $10, 000 to the annual pay-roll of the Asheville division alone. Columbus count}', N. C, has solv ed the currency- question once and for all. A law obtains in that fav ored section requiring the county commSssioner to pay 25 cents for each hawk or owl bill presented to them for redemption, and the Whlte ville News-Reporter relates that the articles named are circulating at face value. The Fort Mill Times took a straw vote of a small number of the busi . ness men of that town on Monday to ascertain the favorites among the gubernatorial candidates with the result that one voted for Blease, four for Featherstone, one for Hyatt, fifteen for McLeod, six for Richards three were non committal. The poll consisted of a total of 3 0 votes. It is noticed that Duncan did not get a vote, yet he claims he will be nomi nated on, the first ballot. See how Ihese predictions pour out. Very Sensible Grocer Boy. Mayor Gaynor, of New York, is surely keeping his' promise to tho people, made before election, of re forming the affairs of that great city. A news item told the other day of his receiving a letter from a groc er's delivery boy and instead of throwing it inV? t\e waste basket unread, he went through it, decided it was good sense and acted on it. The boy has had to lind his way through hundreds of fiats and dwelling basements. He says he found most of them cluttered up with paper, rags, kind .ng and oth er inflammable things yet the base ments are usually so dark that he has to strike a match to get to the stairs or dumb waiters The .boy, who seems to have been a public spirited citizen, went on to tell Mayor Gaynor that from read ing the papers and from observation he was convinced that seventy-five per cent, of I the fires in New York start in basements. Mayor Gaynor called in> officials of the fire and po lice departments and asked if the boy was right. They admitted ne was. Then get the basements and cellars cleaned up and keep them clean and have them provided with lights, was the mayor's Orders, it substance. This order was not only given by the mayor, tut he will sec that it is obeyed, these fire traps abated, and many fires prevented. We agree with the Charlotte Ob server that the boy's observations and the mayor's orders would be in place in almost any other city. There is a pretty general teMency to strew things about recklessly in the base ments and garrets which are "never visited by callers and rarely bv any body except the servant or the house hold drudges. This is dangerous particularly as few of the plunder rooms are electrically lighted. When going to fetch a bucket of coal or a handful of kindling it is quite us ual to carry matches and a lights 1 match can easily fall on inflammable material and smolder unnoti^d u.i tal t&e chpre is dons. A midnight fire is then the possible consequence. In his simple letter to Mayor Gay nor, the grocer's boy has possib'y thrown a useful light on the causes of our fire losses which greatly greatly exceed those of all other civ ilized countries. Statistics show we burn about one-half as much a* wo build. The grocer's boy may prove to be a statesman of conservation. In the meantime it would be well for the fire departments and police departments of all cities to act on the grocer's boys suggestion and see to it that all cellars, passage ways, out o-f the way. storerooms and gar rets are kept free of combustible matter. New York is to be con gratulated on having such a level headed mayor and such an observ ant grocer boy. Give the Facts. ?Mr. S. B. Tanner, who is one of the most prominent cotton mill men in North Carolina, and who was men tioned with other mill men of the South in the talked of indictment by the Attorney-General- of the United States for buying cotton con tracts, recently gavo the Charlotte Observer a plain statement of the case so as the public could get a clearer understanding of the mat ter. According to Mr. Tanner, the trouble is about as follows: ? ,'The New York Exchange forced the quotations in cotton down from 16%. to 13 cents. This caused loss of confidence in cotton and cotton goods. It ruined the mill business for the season. To show that these figures were fictitious the market went back to 15 cents in a few dayB. In order to steady the market for goods and protect themselves against such raids in future the mills decid ed to buy in. New York and make them deliver the cotton.. We bought cotton in New York tor 13 1-2 cents and held it at 15. We have no idea of delivering the cotton at 13 1-2 cents. "We consulted one of the best lawyers before buying. We could buy cheaper in New York than we could at ?h?rne. As I said we had no idea of selling it at the price we bought it at, for we could not vio late our agreement. We had agreed not to ,buy cotton above 14 1-2 and to avoid speculation not to sell, but hold it. There wn~ a' speculation about it, we pursued the course we did to keep the market from being demoralized. When the New York cotton exchange found what was go ing on they complained to the gov ernment, charging us with a viola tion of the Sherman Act, which in cludes agreements in regard to re straint of trade." According to Mr. Tanner's state ment, which is given! above and which embody the facts In the case, the New York cotton exchange got mad because it hadn't acted first on the David-Harum golden rule prin cipal. "Do unto the other fellow as he would do unto you, but do it first." In other words, the mill peo ple of the South beat the New York Cotton exchange at its- own game, and it then appealed to the United States Courts to save it from tne consequences of its own rascality. t ? ? ?i Dope on the Race. The Spartanburg Journal which claims to be strictly independent in politics, and is not hooked up with either of the candidates mentioned, says the race for governor lies be tween Featherstone, prohibitionist, and McLeod, county optionist. Both are clean, able sincere and popular men. Featherstone has the better of it. The Journal goes on to make this comment on the other guberna torial candidates. "John G. Richards is a good man, but does not fit into the situation. He says he is a prohibitionist, but be is a 1: f.e convert. Pie fought for the state d.spensary to the last ditch. F. H. Hyatt is running on a "busi ness man's" platform and ought to have a better chance than he has. He i6 an advocate of good roads and Is a good man. The thing had already been shaped up before he got in, therefore nothing doing for Mr. Hyatt. "Cole L. Blease is one of the ablest men in the bunch, but he is as usual on the wrong side. He made a better race two years ago than he will make again. Right there is where he probably made a mistake. There was ho reason why anyone should oppose Governor Ansel two years ago and the reasons urged by Blease for the defeat of Ansel were specious and flimsy. Duncan's can didacy, of course, is not taken ser iously." CLASSIFIED COLUMN One-half Cent a Word Found Notices Free. For Sale?Registered setter pups. Llewellyn strain. $7 each. Apply F. N.
