Believing that Teddy is the only white mian in the country who can tfliip Johnson, the Anderson Mail thinks it is up to Teddy to do it. No doubt the Republicans would be glad if the country would forget all about the BalUnger investigation un fit the congressional election is over. The State of South Carolina has 2629 automobiles. And the N<jws and Courier suggests that she would have some air ships if Charleston was not so near heaven. .The State asks "is old Nick fish ing for little suckers." We hav never cultivated a very close ac (jaaintanceship with old Nick, but if all that is said about him is true, be is fishing for big and little suck ers. The fact that a former newspaper man who became a doctor has been nominated for Congress in North Carolina, causes an exchange to re mark that when a man starts down hill he nearly always goes to the bottom. J5x-Secretary Shaw voices the sen Itiment of the Republican party when he says "the people can't make a tariff." Mr. Shaw and his party have always turned the mak ing of a tariff over to the trusts and large corporations. The Colleton News, after a pre carious existence for several years, has given'up the ghost,' having been gobbled up by the old paper at Wal terboro, The Press, and Standard. It was a good newspaper, but there was no room for it. The State gives it out that any man or newspaper who says that Col. E. J. Watson was borr in North Carolina will impose- upon The State an unpleasant duty. This warning ought to make our Tir (heel brethren and newspapers very careful. In less than one week the people of S ? .uter raised forty thousand dol lar's ' to establish a branch of the Young Men's Christian Association there. No towns ever did a better week's work, and we congratulate the people of Sumter on their pub lic spiritedness. Pauper inebriates of the city of Columbia, both white aud colored, wHl be treated for the drink habit while under arrest in the city jail, according to an agreement made be tween the city council aad the other etooklKjJers of the McKan-Three Day liquor cure. One of the North CaroJiua con gressional conventions having been deadlocked fifty hours, trying to nominate a candidate for congress, the Spartanburg Journal asks why do-nt they have primaries in North as is in /-u.ti Ca.'oliua and ai'C'-J ?' this !.??? of '.Lin*? The greatly decreased number of dead and wounded Fourth of July victims is eloquent testimony to the value of constantly striving to se cure reforms. For years the agita ?tioti for a "sane fourth" has been going on. and this year good results have .been attained. iFo-r the careless handling of a pis tol by which his half brother was killed, Russell Tucker must serve two years on the chuingaug of Un ion county or in the penitentiary: If more people were punished for the careless handling of lire arms we would have fewer deaths from that cause. The old saying that fools and their money are soon parted is con stantly being verified. One of the latest instances is that of a Louisi ana millionaire lumberman who <pa?d a medium or astral seer $10, ?00 to regain the affection and se cure the return of his wire. Evi dently the "divine power" of the seer was not in working order. Ono of the best pieces of work th? people of Sumter ever did was ?raising forty thousand dolars to er ect a Vcuug Meu's Christian Associa tions Building for the benefit of her young men. Every dollar of money say town invest for the uplift of her young men it well invested. ?s time goes on it wtli make handsome ceturus in most valuable dividends. It is always a mystery to the av erage man why so many weeks in the early part of a congressional or legislative session are m fruitless of -important legislation, and why so ?auch is rushed through often with out proper consideration, iu the last ?week or two. Probably what is a ?ystery to the mau on the street is Or> mystery to the politician behiud the scenes. The Hope of the South. Traveling this week across a con siderable section of our Progressive j 'Farmer and Gazette territory, saysj j Fditor Poe, we could but dream of ? the time when all our Southern I country shall become as fair as the [rural districts of Franco and Eng land as we saw them tw^ years ago j?when, our muddy road;< shall give I way to beautiful highways; when I o; r old frien';V3 shall be redeemed to .' sc fulness; when our half Lu'.tivated patches shall be convert ed into broad and fertile nelds; when herds of cattle and flecks of sheep shall dot our hillsides; when a gully I shall be reckoned a disgrace and a ' fire-ruined wood a crime; when cab ins and ugly cottages shall be re placed by homes made beautiful by loving care, however humble they may be. and when a th'.ckly settled and well trained population shall not on/y relieve country life of that isolation which has most retarded its development, but fhaii give need ed support for all the conveniences of twentieth-century rural' life?ru ral telephones, water-works, the township high school with its public library and lyceura course; schools a center of intellectual and the church of spiritual activity, each giving symmetry and beauty to a community lift which finds its mat erial basis in a high degree of effici ency ~on the part of the average man. Even, as the painter when he goes to his canvas, sees with his mind's eye some beautiful vision which he is to work out, even so all of us should have before us as we go about our daily tasks this vision of ?the South that is to be, and the part, however insignificient, that we may have n helping, its fulfillment. We should all of us like to live to see it with our own eyes, as Moses yearn ed to see the promised Canaan to which he led his people. But wheth er we shall see it with the physical eye or only in our dream, it is enough that we may have a hand in bring ing it about, enough that we may work intelligently and unselfishly to hasten the coining of this better day. And the one way is by giving the child a chance. That boy of yours, who already has the basis of all character in that he is learning to work, that boy w*ho "warms his feet cold mornings in the place where the cows lay the night before"?he is the hope of the South. That girl of yours, Chat girl ?of" your neigh bor's, whose miind and spirit will some day give tone and color to ev erything in a home?she is the hope of the South. And only through the school they can be developed. The boy and girl in the towns are getting good schooling; the farm boy and girl in the North and West are getting good schooling. Shall it !>e, then, that among all our twen tieth century American youth the Southern farm girl ? and boy alone enter life's luice hi^ndicapped by shackles of ignorance? It must not be so. The best in vestment the South could make in 191.0 would be to double its taxes and double the patronage of our high schools and colleges. Only by providing the best of facilities can we attract to the South that tide of immigration which we need to in crease our percentage of white pop ulation and to relieve rural life of isolation; and only by educating all our people can we work our dream of a South the beauty of whose rur al and urban life, the intelligence and efficiency of whose people, shall make it indeed the foremost and the fairest section of America. The South and the Future. The Progressive Farmer says in reverence of Old Glory's stars and stripes I yield to no man North or West. But for the South every true Southerner must feel a distinct and peculiar affection. That she is behind the North and West in many respects, we grant. :'he people of the South live yet in shabbier houses; there are tco many ram shackle barns: the fieids are less thoroughly ploughed . patches in stead of broad well-kept fields, and the land has been too often allowed to wash. The beautiful herds of >';attle, the sleek Perciieron plow horses two or three abreast, the the trim lawns, the great red barns ?these are no longer the rule as in the West. There are also fringes of disreputable looking cabins on the edges of these Southern towns, and too often the white people, from association with the lower ideals of neatness and thrift on the part of a more backward race, seemed to have suffered a pitiful sagging of their own racial standards. The roads here are in worse condition; there are ten times as many people who can't read and write, and the schools are yet by no means us efficient as in the North ami West. And yet in spite of all these things, I would not live in the West. Rather must the true Southerner feel that because of these things the lall is all the mor<? imperative for him to stay in the South. The task of betterment, the task of improv ing these conditions?this is his. and he dare not run away from iL As well might a soldier desert his post in time of .battle. If your neighbor's field is well plowed, do not wish for it. but plow your own . well; if your neighbor's children are well educated, do not wish for his, but educate your own. And so our duty is not to covet the beauty and thift and enterprise of the West, but to give our lives to bring ing To the South the same high de gree of beauty and thrift and pro gress' veness. To educate ail our boys and girls in longeT and better and more prac tical schools and to educate our old er people through farm papers and demonstration work and farmers' in stitutes, etc.?this must be our main hope of deliverance. Young, But Xot Too Young. Major J. W. Holmes of the Barn well people protests. Under the caption, "We Are Xot a Kid," he says editorially in The People: "A few weeks ago an unknown but good-hearted Columbia corres pondent sent out to several after noon papers some kind words of us as a veteran of the press gang. He 1 credited us with nearly thirty years f editorial experience. We have more than that to answer, for. Sev en weeks from today w'e shall com plete thirty-three years of occupan cy of the easy chair, so called. In that time three pairs of rockers have been pretty well worn out. At times our patience and enthusiasm have fared likewise. But the kindness of our friends has never failed.". We heartily join The State in pro posing "three cheers" for Editor Holmes, and fully agree with our cotemporary that "there are few editors in South Carolina who write so delightfully." We are satisfied that the whole press gang of the State will heartily join the Colum bia Record in sincerely hoping that "the Barnwell youngster will live to be an old man." Preachers and Politics. The Bamberg: Herald says: "There is no reason why a minister should not endorse a candidate for public positron if he wants to. He is no less a man and a citizen because of his profession, and .he of all people should be intensely interested in good government. We are glad to see the preachers taking an interest in politics or anything else that helps for civic righteousness. It is not only their right but essentially thier duty, and all this talk about preachers mixing in politics is bun combe. We have never yet heard of a candidate refusing the endorse ment of a minister, and any man should be proud to obtain it. This is not the first campaign in which the name of a minister has been us ed as endorsing a candidate, and it will not be the last by any means. This inewspaper is not supporting any candidate for governor, but sim ply justice warrants the foregoing." Brother Knight expresses our senti ments exactly on this su.bpect.
