Senator Cummings, of Iowa, it is said, has suggested a new political party, with Theodore Roosevelt and William J. Bryan as leaders. The S:?ai tan burg Herald asks "where is v the harness that would hold these / two lead horses together." . The candidates are now going the rounds, and we bespeak for them a kind reception and a patient hear ing. Don't make up your mind who you will vote for until you hear all the gentlemen who are making the race for the respective offices. One candidate for treasurer iu Richmond county. North Carolina, paid another candidate $700 to with draw, whereupon the former wps ?presently ruled out by the executive committee. W'hy should the execu tive committee interfere in the mat ter? That is a pretty heavy charge Rev. J. Walter Daniel makes against Co lumbia. 'Debauched young men and young women" has a bad sound to our- 'ears; and we hope the good Doctor is mistaken in making such a charge against the young people of the capital city. Thomas G. Hudson. State Commis sioner of Agriculture of Georgia, pre dicts that cotton . will. sell for 20 cents this fall. He thought a half crop, combined with business condi tions and a holding movement by farmers throughout the south, would produce the high price. We hope when cotton gees to twenty cents that cotton goods of all kinds will go to a price at which the mills can spin the high price cotton at a pro fit. Then we will ? have prosperity sure enough. Ready made languages do not ap pear tz> wear well. Esperanto, like its predecessors in the same line, en joyed ephemeral popularity, but like them, again, it does not meet with general acceptance and probaly nev er will. Languages evolve and thai language which in the course of de velopment is.found most effective in commerce and trade and as the med ium of intercourse between peoples is the language which ultimately wili dominate, aad this position the Eng lish language evidently holds. . Many congressmen seeking a re nominatlon will put iu some streuu ous weeks from now on. In several cases- the political fences are either down or sadly awry, and in some in stances it will be impossible to straighten them or build them up again. It looks very much as if the independent vole will loom up lar ger than ever. Many predict that ?the only logical outcome of the poli tical flux affecting the two great par ties is. a realignment of parties in which men of kindred thought in ?both parties will coalesce for the success of the principles they hold hi common. Opiniou is uaturally divided us to the value of the Boy Scout move ment now so popular in England and which is also finding a lodgment in America. Many of the require ments imposed on the boys are un questionably wholesome and should make for manly character and good citir.tN.ship. But objection to it is raised by many on the ground that the movement fosters militarism, which probably it does. The same objection was advanced against the Boys' Brigade of a former day. On ly time can tell whether or not the evident merits of the movement will outweigh us defects. Apparently the cause of woman suffrage has made a distinct advance as the result of the recent vote in tbe British house of commons which showed a majority of 100 for the woman suffrage bill on the second reading. We say "apparently" be cause it is not yet possible to un derstand the lull significance of the rote. As the bill does not go into the committee stage this year that ?means the end of legislation for it until another year when the bill will have to be introduced anew, still the moral effect of the vote will undoubtedly be great, and therefore, encouraging to the advocates of wo uiun suffrage. As was to )?e expected many of ?the cities which show but a um all increase, or an actual decrease iu the census returns, are anything but satisfied. Civic pride and the desfire to boost m .town naturally leads to oftentimes unintential ex aggeration as to population. When ttiierefore. the census shows so many hundreds or thousands less than was estimated there is disappointment, ttut in ail probability the federal census is much more correct than any estimate made on a directory or school census. The nest way to re cover from any disappointment and dissatisfaction is for citizens to work unitedly a.:d intelligently for the in terests of their town. The Prfsidential Election. .With the Democratic party in the ascendancy and dissatisfaction with the Republican party constantly growing, so that Democratic control or the next house of representatives is practically assured, attention is being directed to the next presiden cy, the struggle for which will ac tively begin immediately after the result of the approaching Congres sional election is known. Aud some very competent s>o)itisa] forecasters . ??. tlj.u the Democrats not on ly can, but probably will elect the next president. It must be remembered that the vote of the country is not so very unevenly divided" between the two great parties. While the solid South is Democratic and at present consti tutes the bulk of that party's repre sentation in Congress and almost all of the Democratic vote in the last electoral ocllege, the Democratic pai ty in the North is very much strong er numerically. New York, for in stance, polled almost as many Demo cratic votes as 'he entire South, and Indiana almost ixactly as many as the four Democratic states of Geor gia, Alabatja, Florida and South Car olina. In many of the Western and Northern states the votes was so close that the change of a compara tively few votes would .have changed the result. And just this change seems to be taking place. The electoral college is now com posed of 483 votes. The new appor tionment under the 1910 census will probably not be made until af ter the election, but New Mexico and Arizona will be added. This "will increase the colleie to 489 votes, and constitute 245 necessary to elec tion. Even if the Democrats cannot carry Ohio, New Jersey, Montana or Delaware, they will still be able to poll in 1912 enough electoral votes to ensure a Democratic victory. A correspondent of Leslie's Weekly presents this forecast of Democrat ic expectations: Alabama. 11 Arkansas. 9 i Colorado. i> .Florida. s> Georgia.. 13 Indiana. Id ?Kentucky. 13 Louisiana. 9 ?Maryland. 8 (Mississippi.. . . .:. 10 (Missouri. 1* North Carolina. 12 'New York. 39 Nebraska. 8 Nevada.'. 3 ?Oklahoiua. 7 South Carolina... 9 Tennessee... 12 Texas. 18 Virginia. 12 /Total... 259 Here are 14 more votes than are needed,. >'and the loss of nebraska would not be felt. The Democrats could even lose Colorado and Ne braska and yet have votes enough to elect a president. The retention of Indiana and New York is all that is needed, and these two states will assuredly go Democratic in 1912 un less there is a great change from the present drift, which there is no reason to anticipate. The Augusta Herald, 1'rom which paper we take the above, ?ay3 it is a- long lane that has no turning, and the turn in the. political' iane has at last been reach-; ed. The election of a Democratic ? house this year will be followed by the election of a Democratic Presi-j dent in 1912. Growth of the South. The amazing growth of the South aud spu'rhwest already is becoming the sensation of the 1910 census, says the Anderson Mail. Complete returns for 51 counties i n Texas show a population of 817.475 m 1910, as compared with 552,906 in 1900. a gain of 46 per cent. This percentage maintained throughout Texas will mean a gain of 1,403,606 persons In the state, or a total pop ulation of almost 4,500,000. For Neuces county the census bureau reported a population of 21,955 in 1910. ar. increase of 110 per cent. Knox county showed a 500 per cent advance, and Tom ? Green county, close to 400 per cent. Without ex ception tha figures from Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama record start ling increases. On the present bas is of representation in congress, a member to every 194.000 of the ?country's population, the returns from 41 counties entitle Texas to an other member in the house. If this; ratio of increase is maintained in Texas, she will have a delegation of 2::. The figures from other parts of of the south and the southwest pres age a like advance in political power and importance. For this reason talk of renewing the northern de mand -or limiting southern repre sentation Is becoming general. Her increase in population does not only give the South more congressmen, but it will give her more strength in the electoral college and make it easier r.o elect a Democratic presi dent. We hon? the new apportion ment vill go into efTeet before the next presidential election. Some Plain Talk. Columbia Light, which is edited by a level-headed negro and pub lished in the interest of the race, says. "The Orangeburg Times and Democrat is pushing up the law on I the vagrants.'' Light then goes on to say: "Yes, we wish all the white pap ers would urge the enforcement of the law against vagrants. There are too many young negro vagrants here in our southern towns and cit ies and especially so in our state. "Pcol rooms are damnation to young negroes. They breed strife, gamblers, thieves and criminals of all kinds. Young negro men are too poor to spend days and nig.lits loafin-?; around pool rooms a-nd gam bling de::s. "The race needs their moral strength and their financial worth. They need to be at work helping- to buy land and build up hornet, ckcrna, churches and schools. Our minis ters might preach on these evils sometimes." Such plain talk as above gener ally gives offence to the young ne groes that loaf about pool rooms 1 and gambling decs, but it is the kind that is needed to uplift the ne ; gro race. Most of the meanness j that negroes do is hatched in Just such dens. CLASSIFIED COLUMN One-half Cent a Word Found Notices Free. I wish to hire several teams mules. Apply to W. D.

It Is a very easy matter t^ remove Ink spots from white ? material, but many become discouraged because the first application of some reliable Ink remover fails to bring good re sults. The finest material, such as mousseline, cambric and longcloth, hold stains much longer than a cheap er fabric, for which reason it is ne cessary to apply stranger solutions. Pure household ammonia will remove Ink from a handkerchief, table covar or aDy white article which does not contain silk or a color. Put the ar i tide In an earthen wash bowl, pour j ammonia over the Ink and leave it for Id or 20 minutes; take it out o? the bowl, wring out the ammonia, wipe the bowl and renew the process; then wash with lukewarm water. Peroxide of hydrogen, applied alter nately with ammonia and dried in the sun, will remove very bad blem ishes. Lemon juice can he applied tc white silk, and should it he a silk with a blue mark, the lemon wi l noi injure the color, but it would fade practically any other color than blue. A very thin white Purls muslin dress was. splashed with the entire con tents of an ink bottle, but the owner Immediately mit the dress into a crock of sour buttermilk and let It soak over night. While the blemish es were not entirely obliterated, and it was necessary to soak the dress in fresh buttermilk for several hours more, it finally came out pure am white and the entire dress bleached by the process. Ink marks on velve> r-aruet can he removed with warm skimmed milk. Scrub the carpet the same as with water and. when dry wash the spol. with benzine to re move the greasy appearance. Salt will absorb ink from a table covet and prevent it from spreading, hut It is not a reliable acent for the remov al of bad stains. Pure cider vinegar oxalic acid, cream of tartar, a weak solution of muriatic acid or jave'le water can be depended upon to re move all black Ink stains. Ammoni? will weaken red ink stains, wbicl should afterwards be treated wl'r borax and then washed in a boil' suds. When these powerful ink er adicators are used, it is absolutel;. necessary to thoroughly rinte the ar ticles in several waters. Making Coffee. The secret of good coffee Is an Im maculately clean coffee pot, fres'. boiling water and good material. I' Is better to pay a little more for yout coffee and use less in quantity than would be nocesrary In the cheapc grades. The cofTee pot rborld bt thoroughly washed ?.nd scalded afte: every meal and coffee never allowei to stand in it. Tl it gets discolored, put a lhlle baking sona in it once ;? week or so, fill with cold water a:., let it come to the boiling point. Tal. care that the spout and strainer a ? perfectly cleared. Ri.-iso and dr. thoroughly. Ujilike most codklrp utensils, which do better work whei their newness has worn off. a conV pot is better when new, whether ma l of tin, graniteware, nickel or alumi num. Many good housekeepers ad vocate frequent renewals from th* 10-cent store, discarding the old co! fee pots as soon as they become de colored, and .strong. .These are betl*i In the end than the most expeneiv coffee percolator that is not kept Im maculate. The time-honored rtt'e ft: making coffee Is a tablespoonful '<*< j each person and ore for the pot. Pv the coffee In the clean pot. pour In :? few spoonfuls of cold water to wet i: add a clean, freshlv broken egg shr-l! if you' have it. or a teaspoonfn] of im white of egg. pour on the belli up wa ter and let- it just come to the boil Take away from the fire, give a sec ond khake or stir the grounds down tben replace and let it come ajra::1 just lo the bol!. Do this tlire? Ihuw in succession, then push back on t! < stove to settle and clear. Some per sona prefer to make the coffee by th** cold-water method. In this cane cov er the coffee with the required amount of cold water, allow It to reach the boiling point, then proceed as before. The coffee must, not be allowed to boil hard, but merely reach the boil ing point each time. Jf not perfect!;, clear when ready to serve pour in a tablespoonful of cold water. The Young Housekeeper.
