(We have not heard of a farmer ?who sold his cotton before it was made. We think it is best. iA New York estimate places the cotton crop this year at twelve mil lion bales. That means good prices for the staple if it is not rushed to the market. ?We- agree with The State that "it will he a sad time for South Caro lina when honest men may not ex press their convictions and when the press may not temperately criticise a candidate for public office." We would remind the Manning Times tha? theiSantee River Lumber Company, which it says is oppress ing the people at the Santee River, is" one of the chief beneficiaries in South Carolina of the lumber tax, for which its frieud, Mr. Lever, vot ed: The Confederate Veteran Edition Ot the Spartanburg Herald is the best thing of the kind ever issued iii South Carolina. It contained much valuable information about bcoession and other matters connect ed with the war period. It is a handsome pice of newspaper work. The Department of State has done veil in urging citizens of this coun try not to accept titles or honors Dom foreign republics and govern ments. The acceptance of these things usually begets an aristocrat ic snobishness, of which there is al lcady an over supply among the idle rich. ' -iLoyalty to one's country is impos sible without loyalty to its laws, and ?Hiat involves respect for law and en forcement of law. In fact the prim ?nl meaning of loyalty is fidelity to ?the law. therefore he who disregards "the law or who. as magistrate, fails in'his duty to enfoce the law is dis Jcyal to his country. I- -' " i ' It has been contended by the South Carolina Congressmen who toted for the duty on lumber that ?lue duty did not raise the price of F.uinher in South Carolina. The statement of Mr. Miller, an official c?f the Southern Railway, does not |>ear out this statement. He says timber that cost a few years ago $9 a thousand now costs $23 per thousand. If we could trace back the career ci defaulters aud other dishonest an en we would probably find that with the majority the evil began in boyhood. The abstraction of a pen ny or nickel, or the pilfering of an apple or other thing in a store was the first step. At first there was a iheen wrestliug with conscience, but each offence lessened the sense of honesty, and ultimately evil gained the mastery. Mot long ago a Chicago woman tiied to set a hen that had no sit tiug desires on a dozen cold storage eggs. She tried earnestly, even tying Ahe hen to the nest, but the effort was a failure. In that there is a les 600 for the city man who, allured by the cry "back to the land." has the mistaken idea that without previous experience he can win out in farm ing. His .mistakes would probably be greater that that of the Chicago woman, and far more costly. Hunting for clam shells has a great fascination for many who are lured by the idea that they will he fortunate enough to discover valua ble pearls. No doubt a few are re warded for their search, but the suany are not. It is safe to say that tilling the soil is on the whole for more remunerative than search ing the beds of rivers, even where the shells abound, for there is more money for the Individ. ..i in corn, ?cotton and wheat than in pearls. The Newberry Herald and News Bays: "We were under the impres sion that some of our leading Dem ocratic papers in this Siat<- and Dem ocratic statesman held to the opinion that to be a Democrat. one must be tu slave to every minor sentence in that Western-made Democratic plat form." Will the Herald and News please tell us what is a Western made Democratic platform? We thought the platform was made by delegates from all sections of the country. The Branchville Journal is some what mixed as to what local option means. It does not necessarily mean that the county will monopolize the I'tcuor business, as the Journal seems io think, but means that the peopie should .have the right to adopt pro hibition or the dispensary as they may see fit. We have a local option I?w now, and under it Orangeburg County declared for prohibition, while Atken County declared for the dispensary. The law gives the ma jority the right to rule, which we believe is good Democratic doctrine. Tarns on the Screws. We publish on the fourth page of this paper an-article from the Man ning Times in reference to how the Santee River Cypress Lumber Co. is ti eating the people from whom it bought the lands It now owns for below its value on. the other side of the Santee River over in Clarendon County. Whether the people on this side of the riser are subjected to the same treatroant, we have not heard. The Times thinks the com pany Is trying to force certain par ties who own lands in the Santee swamp to sell to them, and it has adopted this plan to coerce them in 10 sellings. These parties to use their lands as pastures would have to fence them to keep their stock off the iands of the Santee River Cypress Company, which is an impossibility, and in consequence their lands are use less to them. In this way the lumber company hopes to force- the owners of these lands to sell out to them on their own terms. As the Times says "if things continue it will not be long before it will be impossible to shoot a squirrel, catch h fish or do any bunting whatever without having to pay a society, club or corporation for the privilege or be liable to land in jail." The Santee River' Cypress Lumber Company is a large concern, whose 'eal owners live North or West. It has acquired large bodies of land in this and Clarendon Counties for ?w hich it paid a v^ry low price. It is one of the chief oenefieiaries in this state of the lumber tax about which there has been so much discussion iii the last few weeks. As it has only been established in this sec tion a few years we suppose it comes under the head of infant iu uustries which some news-papers are in favor of protecting. But from the way K is treating the people it seems to he a heartless corporation that has outgrown its swaddling clothes. Where is the jus tice of taxing the people for such a corporation as ti'at? These swamp tonds are no good after the timber is cut off of them, and here is a 1 eartless corporation, for whose ben- j pfit the people are heavily taxed, re fusing to let the hogs and cows of poor people range on them. What tfoes our readers think of such a turiff fed corporation as that? it is cne that seems to have np con-' icience. \ The Lumber Tax, The following paragraph was pub lished in The Times and Democrat ast Saturday: The Branchville Journal says the duty on lumber is a small one. Will the Journal please give us the figures and tell us where to find them. Here is the answer the Journal rives to the above: That Lever .tax on lumber was a six per cent, ad valorem one. Figure up for yo?ruself how much that will be on a thousand feet, worth $10. An ad valorem duty of six per :ent. would come to sixty cents per thousand on lumber worth $10 per thousand. That is quite easy, but that is not the duty Mr. Lever voted lor. He says he voted for a duty of $1 per thousand, which, on lumber $10 per thousand, would be an fed valorem tax of ten per cent and not six per cent, as claimed by the .Journal. As a matter of fact, Mr. I Lever did not vo'.e for an ad valorem duty when he voted for $1 on lum ber. That was a specific duty on all lumber. In ad?ition to the specific duty, there is an ad valorem duty of 25 per cent, oa lumber. The 25 per cent, ad valorem duty on lumber worth $10 per thousand would be worth $2.50. "To which add the spe cific duty of $1.25, and you would have $3.75 as ^he duty on lumber worth $10 per thousand and not GO cents per thousand as the Journal claims. This may not be Mr. Lever"s tax on lumber, but it is the tax lev ied by the tariff law. We would suggest that the Journal get this law and brush up on the tariff be fore it attempts to discuss it again. a Still Harping on llryun. The Greenville News says: "The argument that Patterson should he reelected simply because he is tbe Democratic nominee is strikingly similar to the argument 'hat a Southern member of congress should always be bound to that Western made Democratic platform, 'hereby always humbly serving the ragtag and bobtail element typified, by Bryan, at no matter what loss u, t.he South." Bryan had no more to do with r.taking what the News is pleased to denominate "that Western made Democratic platform" that its editor did. The man who drew it up was Judge Parker, who was the Demo cratic presidential candidate in 1!M)4. He was assisted by such men ; s Senator Daniel, Senator Simmons und other prominent Southern Dem ocrats. If a candidate was to re pudiate a platform before he was nominated, as Bryan did on one oc casion, it would lie all right, but if he accepts the nomination on a plat form he has no right to repudiate il after election. The News will never forgive Bryan for opposing Ii i ship subsidy steal, which is one of the special pets of the News. A Three Million Jack-Pol. Anyone who knows Senator Gore will vouch for his honesty of pur pose and his truthfulness. Accord ing to Senator Gore's testimony, one Damon, the former Republican Na tional Co mm it teem an from OKla homa, attempted to bribe .him to pre vent legislation that would virtually k'll the McMurray contracts for a $3.000.000 fee for the sale of the Indian coal and oil lands. Mr. Hain an denies it. but his denial will hard ly convince sensible people that Sen ator Gore concocted the story. The evidence that corruption was afoot ?s strongly circumstantial, and in several respects is confirmed by the testimony of Senator Gore's secretary hnd of his brother. Then, there is the entirely independent testimony j <f Representative Creager that'an; attempt was made by Haman to in fluence .his vote by promises of a share in the "jack-pot." The com mittee of investigation must probe! ?he matter to the bottom and not Jail to take the testimony of he men "higher up." who are stated to he Vice-President Sherman and Rep lesentative Bird McGuire. Let no guilty man escape. Danger Ahead. One can hardly help viewing with lismay the meeting of the Conserva tion Congress at St. Paul next month. The Pinchot and Ballinger partisans! from everywhere will be back there I In force, and the stalwart Republi cans of Minnesota headed by the Governor, and ithe (insurgents led by Senator Clapp will back their re spective sides, so the Congress is likely to be turbulent. President Taft is to be there and presumably will endorse Ballinger. ? Colonel Roosevelt will be the principle speak er and undoubtedly will support the ninchot policy and not mince his words' in doing so. Yes, there can hardly fail to be some differences of opinion to say the least. As the I stalwart Governor of Minnesota and itic stalwart Mayor of St. Paul con trol the police power of the State, the Democrats should hold them selves in reserve to compel fair play between the rival Republican fac tions. Let us have peace and fair play if we have to fight for it. CLASSIFIED COLUMN One-half Cent a Word Found Noticet Free. For Sale?One farm of about 9< acres near Wagener. Apply A. M Gantt, Wagener, S.
