The betting, on the Attorney-Gen rals race is one million dollars to one that Lyons will beat Evans two ? to one in the primary. ' We heard an old politician say the other day that M. L. Smith had dropped his political potato by not runni?g this year for Attorney-Gen eral. * We do not want any warmed over Democrats in the next congress. We want Democrats who will vote for Democratic doctrines in spite of big suppers and Tnist lobbyists. The Insurgent Republroans and standpatters have gotten together in Ohio and nominated a ticket, with w.hich they hope .to beat Harmon, but they are going to. be disappointed.. - The county of Greenville will soon vote on the question of opening the dispensaries again. The result of this election will be watched with In terest as it is the first of the kind to be held in the State. .. After all the -hot air expended by the Insurgent Republicans,, we pre dict that they will be found .pulling for the regular Republican candi dates where the. Insurgent Republi cans fail to get their men nominated. "While The Times and Democrat is. perfectly satisfied with prohibi tion, for Orungeburg- County.1 and ^vould not ha ve the law changed,' yet it, has no desire, to..force prohibition en Aiken County against the will of ?her people. T-'ie Republican party will, use millions of dollars in the- coming ?????essieh'arl ejection to-prevect the '"?eoaocrafs from controlling, the next Wouse. But if ail. the reports we ?hedr are only half true, the Demo crats will win in spite of money and fraud-, -v ,. .... ?Everytime a lady goes into a store and buys a pair of American made hose she pays a tax of seven "cents to the hose trust. Why. should the hose trust be given this right to plunder the people- The same may he asked iu regard to the lumber and other trusts. ...The Greenville News says its ?couuty has . as many voters as the seveoth congressional district has. If., that is true. Greenville county ntos4: have about fifteen thousand voters, exclusive of negroes. We wrili see how the figures of . the News holds out in the "primary. ,.. The race for governor at-this time js anybody's race. Some think that tiflcLoed and Peatherstone will be in the second primary. Others think that Blease will be in t.he second Tsce with one of the gentlemen-nam ed-above. And still others put Hyatt in, the second race. No one can tell. The best plan is to keep cool aud wait for the returns. '..Jt is reported that Bishop Hen drik has resigned from the Vander ?ilt University Board of Trustees. After doing all the harm he could takes this:method to save that four thousand dollars a year he receives as-a Bishop. We hope the other Bishops will see to it that Bishop Hetni ix is brought to trial for his betrayal of his high trust. ? The news comes that the "Beef Trust" is to be again probed. "What is the good of all this probing, if nothing ever comes of it? asks the Farmers Union Sun. which goes on to say it has "a suspicion that inasmuch as t.he elections are drawing near, it is all done for ef fect, and that there is no intention of tryig to get at tangible results: ' When the number of circuit judges was increased from eight to twehe a few years ago -the argument was ?that the necessity for special or amateur judges would lie removed. But The State says "whether the appointing of special judges has de ?creased or not could only be ascer taiusd by examining the records but the special judge is abroad iu the lawL-. The day comes wbeu it will ?be- contempt of court to accost a lawyer in the street by any other (title than Judge." Congressman Ellerbe says he and Congressman Lever iu repudiating ?the Democratic platform by voting to tax lumber did exactely what Wil liams Jennings Bryan did when he W&a in Congress. That is not true. When seeking the nomination Bryan said he would not support a certain plank in the platform and if Dem ocrats of the district wanted it car ried out they must elect some one else. It is quite different with Kl lerbe and Lever. They pledged themselves to support the platform ?before they were nominated and re pudiated it after they got in office. Robbed by the Tariff, j If the voters of this district would I study the 'tariff and see for them selves how they are plundered by it for the benefit of the trusts. Mr. Lever would not insult them by tell ing them he had no apology to make for voticg for a duty on lumber, by which the people of this country are held up and robbed of over one hun dred million dollars tach year by the huge lumber trust. He justifies 1 Ms voce by saying that the tax puts "' <?<: ;..;:;i:n dollars in the public uuasury. If tie people was posted on the tariff Mr. Lever would not j have offered any such flimsy excuse for breaking his pledge. There is hardly a tariff schedule that does not pay as much or more into the public treasury than the Slumber schedule in porportion to'the amount it taxes the people for the benefit of the trusts. This shows the absurdity of classing the lum ber schedule as a revenue schedule. The Republicurs themselves make no such pretense. Neither did the agents of the lumber trust who lob bied the duty through congress. They wanted a protective duty on lumber aud they got it. T.he so-called Dem ocrats who_ voted for it knew they were voting for a protective duty.. To show how the people are rob bed .by such revenue schedules as the lumber schedule, we will illus trate by the cotton hosiery schedule. For a good many years the stocking industry had prospered in this coun try. Figures presented to congress listed a dozen or more factories that made more than doubled their nei worth under the operations, of the Di.ngley law. But when the tariff ,,making was on last year these be seiged congress for an increase, claiming that their principal compe titors, the Germans, had developed to a point- where their competition menaced the American . industry. Turning to the figures, however, it will be seeu that the importations amounted^ to only about 11 per cent, of the total used in America. The duty was raised so that the ordinary stocking retailing at 25 cents a pair pays a duty of seven cents. The average foreign price for these is $1.00 a dozen pairs. The duty and freight and insurance add 90 cents a dozen. If there was uo duty the importer could lay these down in this country at 85 cents less a. dozen than it now costs him, and the. consumer could buy them for 18 cents instead of 25 cents per pair. About 87 per cent, of this tax goes, to the manufacturer, while about thirteen per cent, goes into the treasury of the United States. In other words, out of every one dol lar tax paid by the people for cotton hosiery thirteen cents goes into the '?public treasury while 87 per cent goes into the pockets of the cotton hosiery trusts; Now It would be absurd to call the cotton hosiery schedule a revenue i schedule.- It was levied purely as a protective, lax the same as the lumber tax was levied. We do not know whether .Mr. Lever voted for j the tax on cotton hosiery or not. To j be consistent he .should have done j so, because the cotton hosiery sched ; u!e brings more money to the public treasury than the lumber schedule does. . If the - lumber schedule is a revenue schedule, then the cotton hosiery schedule is more of a reven j ue schedule. As a matter of fact, ; neither of them are revenue sched ules, but the tax was; levied on lum , ber and on cotton hosiery so as the j trusts thai...control..them . could ex-j : tract millions of doHars out of the 1 pockets of the people without giv ! ing them anything in return. ? i i *. <t> e ,4. Some More Graft) Senator Dick is to be called upon to make an explanation concerning his - conection with a corporation owning a ? pneumatic device for the 'transportation of mail, and this w'll further complicate the political sit uation in Ohio. In view of the fa*?t that Mr. Dick is a member of the senate committee on postoflices and post-roads he is in a position to fig ure as something more than a "dearl head" in the enterprise. Unfortunately for him. however he has to stand for re-election at the hands of the legislature to be chosen this year, hence he is likely to be asked some questions abo it his interest in the United Pneumatic Transmission Company. William Hi Dinspel, the inventor of the pneu matic tu.be for which the com pa **y owns the patent, has attempted t . explain M-. Dick's conneclio" wita the corporation. "Senator Dick," lie says, "is a hustler and a fine man. He has about $2 00.000 worth of stock, which j is sei'ing at par. but of course he did not pay that for it. He paid S10.000 ror the first slock he got. Then 1 got him a lot more, and he j is very enthusiastic about the com pany's prospects." 'Evident!} Mr. Dinspel appreciates the advantages of having a "hnst j ler" on the senate committee- on j postoffices and postroads wh?> is in terested to the extent or $200.000 in jhis device. Recommendations from j that committee for the adoption of I the device should have great weight I with the postoffice department. Don't Rob Lever, j The Aiken Journal and Review says: "In this issue appears a let ter from Mr. J. O. Patterson in which he claims to have secured a survey of the Edisto River, with the view . of providing a direct route for the i transportation, of freight. Some i four weeks ago the Columbia State ] published an article crediting Con . greasman Lever with securing this I purvey, boing to the dredging of the Edisto River, which article also ap pears in this paper. Who secured it, w-e do not now. hut Mr. Lever beat Mr. Patterson to it, and will receive the credit for doing this work. ' We think the Journal and Review: has gotten a little mixed up on this matter. There is no doubt but Con gressman Lever got the bill through | congress to survey the Edisto River. and the propose! cacal from the Edisto river to the Ashley river. Con gressman Patterson, no dougt, got a bill through to have the South Edisto river surveyed up- to Aiken. We do rot wish to rob Congressman Patterson" of credit for anything he has done for .his constituents, but at the same time we think Congress man Lever should be given credit for all he has done for his constitntents. That he ?hould be given credit for the Edisto river survey and the ca nal survey connectirg the E.iisto and Ashley rivers there can be no doubt on the part of these who are ac quainted with all the circumstances connected with these surveys.
