O. Mr. Lever is mistaken if he thinks we want /to, drive him out of the Democratic party. We only want him to he a better Democrat. That Liberian loan appears to have encountered a kind of African Mon roe doctrine invented by the French. ?Must we shoulder "the white man's burden" in Africa as well ;as here? The New tariff has evidently had a bad effect on the cotton and wool en mills and yet they are protected up to the highest notch. High prices and poor' business" generally follow each other. "' There is a big scandal brewing in the Ooaet and Godetic Survey; the charge being openly made that the coast survey steamer Bache "has been repeatedly converted into a pri vate yacht by some of the officials." The news ccmes from Georgia that Little' Joe Brown is no more, ?politically speaking. Ha was lost in the general shuffle on Tuesday, and Hbke Smith will reign in his stead as governor. . Teddy is to gjve out his keynote today and Big Bill will give out his slogan on September 30. Now just fancy what the Republicans of both Tarieties will do if the .double key notes are out of harmony with each other. The Spartanburg JournaL, says "Congressman Lever has written a iave-ooljtimn nefwspaper article, ex plaining why he voted- for a tariff on lumber. Folks who vote right do not have to go to so much trouble explaining." They are going to tax lobbyists in Georgia and compel them to register. What .a bunch-of tags it would take to fit out the lumber and other lob byists at Washington. 'But there is no fear of Congress following the lead of Georgia. The Sparenburg Journal has just installed a new perfecting press that will knock off Journals at the rate of eight thousand or more an hour. We - congratulate the journal and hope that in the course of time it will need even a faster press. When a hand on your place breaks fhis contract you would hardly recog nize the right of a neighbor to break in and say he did not do it, when you knew he did. What is the dif ference between such a bond and the man who breaks a political contract? President Taft, having abandoned his speech- making tour, finds it diffi cult to amuse himself with travel ling. A trip to Panama on a warship is projected with another warship as a tender, something of the plan of the journeys of the crowned heads of Europe. The Times and Democrat has nev er accused Mr. Lever of being a Re publican. It has accused him of breaking his pledge and voting with the Republicans to put a protective duty on lumber. As far as we have seen he has never denied either of these charges. Senator Tillman says party lines were not drawn in the Senate or the House as far as he knew on the lumber schedule. No, but they were drawn in the National Democratic Convention, when that body adopted a platform demanding the repeal of the tariff on lumber. The government will hold an ex-i amination in Atlanta on October 5 j iov a xylotomist. Just what an xylo tomist is, the government doesn't ex plain. It seems to be an employe in the forest service, and anyway it gets $1,100 a year. If you are one and wants the job here is your chance. ? If Mr. Lever will get Senator Till xuan's speech, which we published, he will find that it does not men tion Democracy or the vote on the lumber tax a single time. Therefore, it could not be used under any cir cumstances to impeach his Democ racyyas he claims. We published the speech to show that Senator Till man thought that the duty on lum ber made the farmers pay more for it. This seems still to be Senator Tillman's opinion. The "complimentary business" of giving franks and half-rate certifi cates by the Postal and Western Un ion Telegraph Companies has been discontinued since such corporations have been made common carriers under the new railroad law. It is about time that Express Companies took similar stops and the Interstate 1 Commerce Commission should stir fhom to action and reduce the rates 1 of all these corporations as excessive, especially the .express Companies. Does Not Touch the Cose. In a letter from Mr. Lever to Tbc Times and Democrat, which la pub lished on another page, that gentle man says: Inasmuch as you are trying to imaike it appear by reprinting Sen ator Tillman's speech in the Sen ate that this distinguished gentle man agrees with you in your ef fort to drive me out of the Demo cratic party and in your denuncia ? tions of me as being either an in dependent or a 'jlepublican, I en close you herewith copies of the ? correspondence which has passed recently between Senator Tillman and me with regard to the Dem ocracy, of my vote on the lu.uber schedule. o '-? Mr. Lever is mistaken when he says The Times and Democat ? re printed Senator Tillman's speech in the Senate to make it appear ."that this distinguished gentleman" agrees with us in Impugning his party Iuy alty for voting for a duty on lum ber. We had no need to reprint Senator Tillman's speech to impugn Mr. Lever's Democracy. Becausa Mr. Lever had impugned his own Democ- J racy when he openly deserted his .party, violated and trampled under foot its sacred platform, and voted with the Republicans to put a pro tective duty on lumber. ' Senator Tillman's speech was re printed to show tuat Mr. Lever's claim, that the people of thii dis trict was not taxed by the duty od lum'ber, was not true. It will be noticed that Mr. I e-er was as dumb as an oyster on this subject, when propounding ais cjutstious to Sena-, tor JFillman. Why did he not ask the Senator one more question, as to whether the ducy on lum^e.- did not cause lumber itself, and every thing that is me.de out of lum'.er, such as furnUiiro, vehicles, and oth er things, which the people right here in Or?ngeburg County have to buy, go up in pnee? There is but ;?ne reason why Mr. Lever did not include this question j with the other?. He knew that :oe Senator would ..&ve had to answer "yes." The trouble with Mr. i/ever is the Senator put whitewash on ini the wrong place. The Democrats of .Orangeburg County don't need any instructions from Senator Tillman as to what a Democrat is. They know that when a man votes against the platform on which he was elected ?that he is a traitor to his party, ?f makes no difference what Senator Tillman or any one else says about it. It is an insult to their intelligence to presume otherwise. Senator Tillman, in the 3pee"h that we are accused of publishing to prove that" Mr. Lever is not a Democrat, does not say a word about Democracy, nor- does he say any thing about-thosu who voted for the duty on lumber one way or the other. Then how could we, by reprinting it, hope to prove that the Senator agrees with us that Mr. Lever is an Inde pendent or a Republican for voting with the Republicans to tax lumber. But the Senator does say in that speech that the duty on lumber is a big tax on the farmers of ^.his section of the country, thereby flatly contradicting Mr. Lever's claim that it is not a tax on our farmers. So it will be seen that Mr. Lever disproves by Senator Tillman some thing that ha* never been charged against him by us. In other words, he formulates some questions which he knew the Senator would answer [ to suit him, and claims that they give him a clean political bill of health, but he says net a word about the only thing Senator Tillman's speech was published by us to prove, which is, that the duty on lumber is a tax on the farmers of. South Carolina, which Mr. Lever contends is not the case. Senator Tillman's whitewaaa does not touch the'spot on Mr. Lev er where it is most needed. I Only Did Our Duty. The County Record, published at ?Kingstree, pays The Times and Dem ocrat thi3 compliment: The Orangeburg TJmes and Democrat is making a manly and patriotic fight to uphold the integ rity of the Democratic party in our State. Thruoughout the ages people are prone to be led astray after strange gods and it takes grit and back-bone for a news paper to show up the fallacious arguments of a self-seeking poli tician, entrenched in a fat office, who is trying to justify himself before his constituents, whose in terests he has sacrificed in favor of the influential corporations. We appreciate the kind words of the Record, and can return them with interest, for the Record has made the same fight to "uphold the integrity of the Democratic party in our State" that The Times and Dem ocrat has made. But,-after all, we have only done our duty as a Demo cratic newspaper to the people of Orangeburg County in endeavoring ?to expose the Republican protective doctrine as exemplified by Mr. Lever in his vote in violation of his pledge before he was nominated. We all find it easy to pitch into candidates away from home for going astray, and condone the shortcomings of those near home, but The Times and Democrat proposes to do its duty to the people of Orangeburg regard less of where the candidate lives or who he may be. We have never de ceived the people of Orangeburg County and we never will. We try to give them our honest conclusions on public questions^ regardless of who it hurts, and they can act on it or not as they please. That is all we have done in this matter, and some of these days, if not now, the people will realize that we were right in standing up for pure and undeflled Democracy, which is the hope of Urn country. Things Not Denied. In the speech of Senator Tillma. published by us, which caused the correspondence between Mr. Lever and Senator Tillman. published on another page, Senator Tillman says he watched the effect of the duty on lumber put there by the Dingley bill several years ago, and that the price of lumber went steadily up, and that when he "saw that the far mers, who had to build houses, and fences and barns in the whole upper country, were being charged steadily increasing prices for their lumber," he changed his mind on the subject. The Senator said that he believed "in the greatest good to the greatest number, and' when I saw that the people who use lumber, practically ! four-fifths of' them, were paying an increased price, I decided if I ever got a chance I would take that tar iff off." The Senator got a chance last year and he was as good as his word for he voted, for free lumber. Mr.. Lever contends that the duty oh lumber does not increase its pries to the people in this section. Sena tor Tillman contradicts that claim flatly in the extract we .publish of his speech, but it will be noticed that the contradiction of the Senator is not questioned by Mr. Lever, nor is it denied by him in his leter to us or Senator Tillman. Many a man who exclaims loudly that everyone should earn what he gets will spend hours in ganbling in the .hope of winning something for nothing.

There are only a few trained pip In this country, but the scarcity of porcine talent is not due to lack of in telligence, as many persons are in clined to think, but to their pure cuss edness," says a veteran pig trainer. "A pig is not only smart, but, as any farmer who has tried to drive a num ber of them down a road or from one pen into another will tell you, they have also a fair amount of intuition. They know instinctively what you want them to do, even before you give the order, and they bend every effort toward defeating you. Perhaps it is the very contrariness of their nature that makes them so interesting for me to teach. I have trained all kinds of animals, but I would rather train a pig than any of the others. ' ?"Pigs are nowise ignorant as they appear. Take a little fellow of three or four weeks and a puppy of the same age, and the porker will be Vay up in the fourth or fifth gruae of his educa tional process before the puppy is out of the primary class. I have known pigs intimately for 20 years, but I have yet to see one lonely for human com panionship. They rather like to be petted and sometimes they grunt ap preciatively, but they never come jumping up into your lap or nosing about begging for a pat on the head. "One of the first things to impress upon an amateur pig is that you will not under any circumstances run after him. Of course, you are to take care that the inclosure is not large, so that when he runs he will not be lost:- Pay no attention to him whatever when he scrambles away. That will surprise htm considerably and you have, gained one point. Go on training the others, and after a while go quietyl and get the runaway, and, two chances to one, ne will stay this .time, especially if there Isvsome food in the reward."? Leslie's Weekly. Protect the Toads. Writing of Dr. C. F. Hodge, biologist of Clark University, who is shortly to publish ah important work on bird life, a correspondent of the Boston "Transcript" says: "What Burbank is to plant life, Dr. Hodge bids fair to become in bird life. He has already domesticated on his own premises the rutfed grouBe and the bobwhite, with a view to ul timately adding them to the National list of domesticated species. When you consider that for 400 years not an animal has been thus added, his work assumes epoch-making import ance. He believes that many most useful wild species may be domes ticated, and thereby render incalcul able service. "The toad, for instance, the enemy of the slug, introduced by Calla Thax ter into her 'Island Garden' as its only salvation, is already half domesticat ed. With Its voracious appetite for injurious insects?80 or more already listed in its dietary?the toad may lay claim to being a true philanthropist Dr. Hodge estimates that the school children of the United States?20,000, 000 unused forces?if taught to utilize .this one species, might save to'their country nearly half the cost of tbeir own education. As it is, the destruc tion of this useful species goes on un checked?ignorance being the prolific cause of folly." A Bank Note Curio. "Yes, I " collect queer bank notes," said the receiving teller. "I've been doing It for years. You know there are some very odd things written on bank notes sometimes." He pointed to a dollar bill hung in a frame of black oait on the wall. "Read that," he said. "And I've got queerer ones than that in my collection." On the bank note was written in a feminine hand: "Yon nave roooed me of all the rest, and or my soul also. May this bum your hand when you touch it. May all you ouy with it be accursed. You have the last. Are you now satisfied? Murderer!" The collector sighed sentimentally. "Think of the tragedy," he said, "that may lie hid behind those simple little phrases, eh?"?New York Press. "The Intellectuals" is the name by which a number of commuters who travel daily between their summer homes and New York are known by their fellow travelers. They make what they call "a white horse pool" every morning. They sit with their faces close to the windows, looking for white horses along the line of the road. The man who guesses nearest to the number encountered gets the pool. The news of the day and other subjects which interest the ordinary mortal have no claim for them, and they seem to derive much entertain ment from their style of gambling.? New York Tribune. Italy has a graduated income tax as well as a direct tax on land and houses. Small incomes are exempt from taxation.
