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.?

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."
