Go out- and hear the candidates this-evening. ' It is estimated that the census re port will give South Carolina one to three additional congressmen. The State would have to be redistricted and the additional districts formed. The Charleston Evening Post say3 when Teddy takes the stump against ICern, in . Indiana.. he will.fiud .that it is easier to plunge through an Af rican jungie than through Democrat ic whiskers. . The amendment to "the constitu tion to increase the number 4?f 'the ?*preine Court judges should be un animously adopted. The present judges have too much work to do, .and they- ought to have help. In a moral sense it is extremely easy in going through life to find what we want to find. If we are looking for the crooked there is no difficulty in seeing ,it, and, what is better, it is no,more difficult to see tb# straight. A man should work. like a man sanely, thoughtfully, cheerfully, then he: will find-work a blessing every way. Some men work themselves to death, and at the other extreme are those who neither toil nor spin. Both extremes are'bad. Cuba has granted an American company the privilege of holding bull fights, gambling and other dis reputable sports. Nevertheless we continue to believe that the United '?States did a wise' and humane act in freeiug Cuba 'from the yoke of Spain. ?The State say3 "the people .have been fed on personalities and jokes, and it is natural that when at Or angeburg Candidate Lever asked .whether they preferred hearing ha itioaai issues discussed or a joke told, the cry was unanimous for a joke. Poor fellows. The board of State assessors did the right thing when.it reduced the assessment on mill property in this State from sixty to fifty per cent of i?t valuation. Even at that figure, mills are assessed at a higher valua tion than any other property we know of, unless it is the banks. Suppose a congressman gets ap propriations for his district aggre gating five hundred thousand dollars and then helps the Republicans put a duty on some article that will cause the people of - his district to pay double that sum in the way of indirect taxes, would the people,of the district be benefitted or harmed? It is very convenient for the in dicted officials of sugar and other .trusts to lay all the blame of wrong doing upon dead men, but it is any thing but honorable and deceives no one. Still no one expects honor among people who deliberately set themselves to defraud the govern ment and cheat the pub'ic. A learned professor in a univer sity says that Jeffries and Johnson sprang from the same stock. Among other enlightening things he said that in .TOO years time the negro will be extinct in America, ow ing to intermarriage and climatic causes. Some of these professors who are supposed to exude wisdom from every pore sometimes makes very foolish utterances. The late W. P. Brownlaw. one of ?tho three Republican congressmen from Tennessee, is said to have got ten more money for his dis trict than any other Congressman from the South. While this may be true, in voting for the tariff bill that was passed he gave the trusts t.he legal right to rob the people of his district of a great deal more-money than lie got tor the district. For ten thcusnnd of the aches. :aid pains, and irritations of men and women there is nothing-equal to sun shine. It is more soothing than ?opiates and more stimulating than ?wine. This sunshine includes not merely that which beams from the sky but the sunshine of cheerful speech and action. The (food Sa maritan did more than pour oil and wine into the gaping wounds of the traveler?he gave the sunshine of life, courage and love. The Rttsso-Japan treaty relative ?to Manchuria did not cause the sen sation that was expected. These who expected to find in it an ? ex cuse for urging this country to build a much larger navy must have been disappointed. On the ether hand it would be a mistake to think that the two high contracting powers were actuated by any spirit of fried ship towards America. As a matter oT fact when nations enter into a ?treaty they have an eye to the main chance, which is but one of spelling selfishness. Summer in the Garden. The enthusiasm with which peo ple made their gardena in the spring has probably in most cases slacken ed or died out. But for those who have ? persevered there is unlimited satisfaction as they look upon the wealth of blossom the summer-time has brought. It may be hard work under the hot sun to keep down the weeds and tend the flowers, but the > compensations are many and more I than repay every ache ad pain tlia. o :q has ci.dured. There is also thit lo. be said, that the man who doet his own gardening gets far more joy and pleasure than the man whc employs another to do the work for him. I With what interest he watches the i bud form and expand into the full I flower. He realizes, also, that there is a whole procession of flowers of .; every hue and form and giving forta I their grateful odor. The sr.owdrop ? bravely lifting its head above the snow, whicr it rivals in purity, give.s I way to daffodils and violets, and they in turn to the majestic floweis of summer which, in their turn, bow and depart before the chrysanthe mum and ether flowers of autumu. But the esthetic value of garden ing and the health and vigor whicli ,resiult from outdoor exercise, are ( not the only blessings. There is a I moral value which, perhaps, many do not realize, out which exists all the same. It is doubtful if any one can love flowers and come into close association with them without be ing a better man or woman. Flow ers promote character even as lifcfev promote esthetic taste and beauty. Especially is this true as to young people. They are taught botany, .it least many of them are, which as a science Is very !? drned and u * un often tedious and of little value. But what is needed is to teach the "vn"' vation and love, of flowers, the bringing of the children into close and direct contact with them as th^y are "a 'growing and a blowing" in garden beds. For many children flowers may have a far greater value than ser mons, but in very truth, flowers are constantly preaching sermons on purity, perseverance, cheerfulness, beauty, and many othev good thingt>, in a most winsome and, effective man ner. In all this' there is a sugges tion for parents and teachers and re formers who often have before them the. pro blem of getting best possible results out of most unpromisfhg ma terial. The Farmers Will Win. I Associate Justice Gary, on motion of counsel for the defense, has grant ed a stay of remittitur in the cot ton tare case, a test action, in which an appeal to the United States Su preme Court will be taken. Upon the ultimate decision depends about , two million dollars yearly ,,in this State, and the final ruling wbuld al so have far reaching effect-:on the cotton trade in other States; The; defendant is W. G. Mullins, Columbia buyer for Maybank & Co. By agreement of the Columbia 'Chamber of Commerce, the local buyers and the farmers' union, the Maybank man was arrested and tried in order. to get the matter settled. . He was convicted and :fined and. the qircuit and State Supreme Courts have upheld this verdict. I The question to be decided is will I the. two million dollars go into the farmers pockets where it rightfully belongs, or will it go into the pock ets of the exporters of cotton. We are satisfied that the United States Supreme Court will decide the is sue in favor of the farmers. The farmers lose six per cent tare on every bale of cotton made by the rules established by the English spinners, who really fix the price of I our cotton, and it is simply an out rage to attempt to take more tare than that off cotton wheji. sold over here. But we believe and hope that ?the farmers will win. Orungeburg Signers. The Spartanbur^g Herald will is sue a special Veterans Edition on the occasion of the State Reunion in Spartanburg on August 17th. One of the most interesting and .histori cally valuable features of the edition will be biographical sketches of the signers of the Ordinance of Seces sion. The editor of the Herald is now at work on these sketches and is making an effort to have each one not only full but accurate. For him to succeed he must have the eo-oper . ation and assistance of the descend ants, relatives or friends of the sign ers of t.'ie Ordinance and the request is made that he he furnished with tiie desired data. The signers of tlii Ordinance from Orangehiirg were Thomas Worth Glover. Law rence M. Keitt, Donald R.;w? liar ton and John .1. Wannaniaker. The desired data lor the first three is in band or has been promised, hut the data for tiie last named is needed. Can't some of the descendants of .John .1. Wannaniaker furnish the jSpartanburg Herald with a sketch of the life of that patriotic citizen, who represented this county in one of the ; most momentous periods in the I State's history. Being Beautiful. Every one of our girls likes to be j as beautiful as she can. That is right and proper, but she must re member that it is not alone the smile of a pretty face, the tint of the delicate complexion, the luring glance of the eye. the beauty and symmetry of the person, nor the cost ly dress or decorations that compose a girl's lovliness. It is far more to be found in her pleasing deportment, her chaste conversation, the sensibil ity and purity of her thouihts, her affable and open disposition, her sympathy with thost* in adversity, her comfort and relief to the dis tressed, and above all. her real com panionship, that constitute true lov liness. Give the above a trial, girls, and if it don't make you beautiful and lovely nothing will. It is guar anteed to do what it is claimed (or il. CURIOUS MISSOURI FARM. No Peaces Required?Wheeled Vehi cle Never Upon It. Within sight of the town of Jas per. Mo., In the Ozarks, a settler has k farm which probably Is unlike any other in the world. This farm occupies the table land on the summit of a ridge and 1b en closed with a fence which no animal ?>as ever broken through. It does not ?tee above the surface of the farm, mt falls sheer from the edge a dis ance of many feet. The man who noinesteaded the tableland bad a aard climb up the perpendicular cliff to react the comparatively level sum mit. At one point a ledge extends out a few inches and along the face of the cliff at an upward grade. By fol lowing this ledge and making use of occasional points of rocks and of shrubs growing in the fissures the discoverer pulled himself to the sum mit, and found a surface well covered with soil and a luxuriant vegetation Gradually he improved the ledge until he. could carry up tools and seed. By blasting and drilling be cleared a narrow trail up which he was able, to take first some pigs and theo a cow. Later on he took up a horse. And that to-day Is the condition of the curiously protected farm. No vehicle has turned a wheel within Its limits of palisades. The live stock has multiplied and consumes the grain raised. Some stones thrown across, the trail completely fence in the hogs and cattle. When the farmer has stock to <-ell he drives the animals down the private trail and strikes the road to Jasper.? Kansas City Star. Books Returned After Years. With the best system and careful watching books go astray, but it la bard to write them off as entirely "lost." since they have a way of turning up that Is only paralleled by the cat of lyric fame. The other day at the desk of one of the oldest city Institutions, the Philadelphia library at Locust and Juniper streets there was'returned by a fair borrower, a book that had been cut a tittle over three years. Fortunately for the borrower, no fines were exacted and after she bad gone tne question as to whether the woman bad not established a record, was asked. ?No. Indeed," said the librarian. "We have In the library several vol umes tbat were held ten. fifteen and twenty years, and one book that was returned to ?b arter bel?g gone for over a century! It is one of a val uable set of the classic?, and after .succeeding In hiding Itself-so. longv finally turned up Id Hollaad, when) Its label declared Its lawful place of abode and the honest finder lost no time iu forwarding it to Philadel phia. Yes. we have books out still longer, and 1 hav not tht least doubt that some o. .i?m will yet find their way back to- our shelves." Deepest Rooted of All Hates, The age long hatred of the whits race for the black, yellow and other colored 'races is by no means one sided. . It 1b fully mutual. Years ago Livingston observed tbat "There must be something iu the ap pearance of white men frightfully repulsive, to the. unsophisticated na tives of Africa; for on entering vil lages previously unvisited by Euro peans, if we met a child coming quietly and unsuspectingly toward us. the moment he raised his eyes and saw the men in 'bags he would take to bis heels In ;ti agony of ter ror, such as we might feel If we met a live Egyptian mummy at the door of the British Museum. Alarmed by the child's wild outciies, the mother rusaes out of the hut, but darts back again at the fir., glimpse of the fear ful apparition. Dogs turn tail and i ocour off In dismay, and hens, I abandoning their chickens, fly I screaming to the tops of the houses." ! The same Is true, though perhaps la a lesser degree, of the other color ed races. Where the Tip? Go. "Bet I can teil you something you don't know about the tipping system In the cloakroom? of some of the large cafes." remarked a midnight diner to his wife "Why?don't the small boys Just pocket all .they ?et?" Inquired she. "Pocket! Their uniforms are made without a sign' of a pocket so tbat none of the tips can And a lodg ing th^re; those boys get nothing but a salary which iB paid by a man wno has purchased the cloakroom prlv lege for as ugh as five thousand a year. The tips are all turned in to him. You- can imagine what the privilege is worth when he can ay down ;hat sum for the rljut." The nominee's Kail. A Carthage mit isti*r jokingly told a friend an interview would eust mm ten cents. The latter pretended to take the matter seriously and pre sented him with ten pennies The minister then aro^t to protest and while rising his Ciiali skiided and he stumb'ed.
