Remittances should be made by tffeeck, money order, registered let tars, or express orders, payable to de Times and Democrat, Orange fcwg, S. 0. 1 Teddy has taken Brave Bill's sc:?1?' ; without an effort.' In fact. Bill sur rendered before he saw Teddy in the distance: Big Bill Taft has no more back hone than a tadpole. He will see before he is much older that he ?made a mistake when he put on Teddy's halter. It was right amusing that Lever seized ..Tiliman's coattail after his ?friends had tried to prove that Till man was as deep in the mire as Lev er was in the . bog. The Hon. Thos. E. Watson will now esjpy his crow, no doubt. There are several distinguished gentlement in different parts of Georgia who ought to help him to eat it. The Farmers Union ought to take up the cottou tare business and let the farmers know exactly how the matter stands. Buyers all over the State are getting ready to resist the new cotton law. The fellow that every once in a while has to trot around and get a certificate from some one* he thinks is a little better than himself is generally a sort of wishy-washy char acter. It is the same way in poli tics. Any Democrat whose Democracy is worth the name has no need to ?have it certified to ,by Senator Till man or anybody else. People of good character don't have to carry ?round papers certifying to it. Neith er do true, true Democrats. ?Whether or not there shonld be government ownership or control of pubtto. utilities is a question over which differences of opinion will air ?/ays exist. "But certain it is that if iSever does come the immense com binations with their, inflated capital will l>e mainly responsible. ?From this distance it looks as if the Hon. Thos. E. Watson, of Geor gia, has about run his political race. Every candidate that he actively op posed in the election on Tuesday was elected. The people are evidently tired ofvWatscn and his ways. It looked as-if Henry Watterson had as good as. won that dinner he warred with The New York World that Roosevelt and Taft would be scratching at each other's eyes by December of 1911. Taft saw it com ing, and like Davy Crocket's coon he ?urrendered without being shot at Mr. Lever is welcome to his certifi cate of Democracy which he got from ?enator Tillman. But honestly and truly, does that wipe out the fact , that Lever violated the pledge that fee had to file with the State Demo cratic Chairman before -his name ^cjot?'UTvbe .enrolled as. a Democratic ? candidate? ?on't the - Sranchville Journal thtak that the old true and tried Democrats living in and around Branchville can judge for themsel ves what a Democrat is without be ing told by Tillman or any one else? K the Journal does not think so, we take pleasure in informing it that The> Times and Democrat does. The Branchville Journal isays Sen ator "Ben Tillman has gone right square back on the things The Times and Democrat was trying to prove fey him." In the letter Tillman wrote Lever, he does not contradict ? word he said in his speech we re printed. We challenge the Journal to prove its assertion to the contrary. St acems to be impossible for the city dailies to forget the Duke of Abruzzi and Miss Elkins. About ev >ery so often they re-engage the two young people and then proceed to disengage them. After all are the supposed or actual doings of the two of such supreme importance that it <s necessary to inflict them so fre quency upon the public? Congressman Livingston, w-ai re presented the Atlanta district ix.iy been beaten in the Democratic prim aries over in Georgia, and a real iDemocrat will take his place in Con gress. Livingston went bark on his party and voted with the Republi cans last year in Congress. How ard, another Georgia congressman, who voted with the Republicans, met the same fate that Livingston did. A real Democrat will take his place. The Greenwood Index says "things <seem to be pretty rough for Con gressman Asbury Lever in the Sev enth. He has to explain his vi>v oa free lumber and then explain bis ?explanation; tries to pour some sar casm oh the "big dailies" and gets some of it on the wrong paper, apol ogises and so on and on. Asbury will get back all right, but it's go ing to take more wind to make the race than he had any idea of v hen fee started." New'Cotton Law. There is much being said about t.he law passed at the last session of the' Legislature, whereby all cotton sold in this State may ,be covered with bagging and ties to the extent of six per cent. tare. One cotton "buyer over in' Hartsville 'suggests that no cotton be bought if the far mers attempt to enforce this law in selling their cotton. He wants to boycott the farmers it. to taking whatever price the buyers should see Jit : offer Jor the staple. This buy er should wake up. The day -has pabsed when the farmers can be forc ed to take any kind of an old price that they may be offered for their cotton. The News and Courier says the members of the Charleston Cotton Exchange are almost unanimously opposed to carrying out the law, and the directors of the exchange have passed ,a series of resolutions in which the law is "denounced as un wise and injurious to the cotton in terests of this port," and the "exces sive bagging as contrary to all the rules and regulations of all cotton exchanges, both domestic and for eign." In a preamble just proceed ing the resolution above quoted, it is said "in our opinion, such a law is only attempting to sell bagging cost ing three and a half cents per pound as cotton at an average price of twelve to fifteen cents." There is no ground, whatever, for the charge made .by the Charleston Cotton Exchange that the farmers of South Carolina are a lot of swindlers who are attempting to sell three and a half cents per pound bagging as cotton for twelve or fifteen cents. Such an indictment of the farmers by one of the chief commercial bod ies of Charleston will do that port more harm than the new cotton law will. The farmers only want what they are entitled to, and that they are going to have, regardless of what the Charleston Cotton Exchange may think or say about it. The farmers are not compelled to sell their cot ton in Charleston. The fact that the new cotton law is injurious to the cotton business of Charleston is net conclusive evidence that it is an unwise law. The law was passed to remedy an evil complained of by the farmers that is supposefl to exist. If the evil does not exist let the Charleston Cotton Exchange substantiate the fact, and the law will be repealed. Denouncing the law as unwise and the farmers, who had it passed, as a lot of swindlers, does not prove anything and will ac complish no good. As a class the farmers are just as honest as any other class, and they do not want the tare if they are not entitled to it. We have heard men who have vis ited the Liverpool Cotton Exchange say that in fixing' the price of Amer ican cotton the* exchange allows six pounds tare on every hundred pounds of cotton, and that the farmers in this country to get paid for all of his cotton should put thirty pounds of bagging and ties on .every four hundred and seventy pounds of lint cotton. We have seen the same statement timo and time again in the public prints, and have never seen ;it denied. The law complained of hy the Charleston Cotton Exchange was passed by the Legislature to pro tect the farmer in getting what be longs to him. If what we say above in reference to the tare .being fixed in Liverpool is not true the Charleston Cotton Exchange ought to have no difficul ty in proving .it untrue. Not by res olutions denouncing the lav/ and making false accusations against the farmer, but by the testimony of the people in Liverpool who is said to fix the tare. This is an ?mportan* matter, and it should be settled sat isfactorily to all. If six per cent, of his cotton is knocked off in Liver pool to allow for the bagging and ties, the farmer is clearly cd titled to put six per cent, bagging a.'id ties on his cotton when he sells it. Thi3 is the whole thing in a nutshell, The Handwriting on the Wall. "Returns from the primary elec tion in the Fifth and Eighth Cop ? gressional districts of Georgia will aave three distinct effects." says the state. "They will act as a wet blan ket upon President Tal't's hope of breaking the solid South, they will encourage Democrats to believe mre strongly in the faithfulness to ?arty principles of Southern Democrats, and they will induce cold chills in those alleged Democratic Congress men who. arrogant in their kno Al lege of local strength, are treating with contempt the National party platform and the local rules made by the people for the control of their Representatives. "Georgia has been considered a fair field Cor Republican prosulytinj?. Some of its public men and some of its newspapers were so confident of an independent sentiment in that Stale, and sc desirous of basking in the smiles of influential Republican politicians of the North and being regarded as "broad" and "progres sive," stat they progressed themsel ves out of their party. "They imagined the people did not care; they imagined they had their constituents in a slinj;; they imagined themselves the bosses. The morning after the election two Con gressmen from Georgia who had been thus dreaming, awoke. And their awakening was rude. "For Jwenty years Leonidas F. Livingston has representea the Fifth Georgia district in Congress: next in length oi service from Georgia is William M. Howard. Doth were con sidered invincible, and they were so arrogant in their strength that when a vote was tsiken in the Ho.ise of Representatives last December tc change the Cannon rules they voted for Cannon's side. "It appeared almost foolhardy tc oppose thc;;e Congressmen, but the} were opposed and the issue was clearly made upon the question oi thair fiaiithlessness to their party Both the faithless were defeated, i young attorney winning a decisive victory over the veteran, Livingston.' The defeat of those two traitors, ] who endorsed the Democratic plat i form until they were elected and then rapudiated it is a complete endorse ment of The Times and Democrat in its fight to make Congressman Lever ! respect the Democratic platform af ter as well as before election.
