I We must take the world as it is, not as we think it ought to be. ?60 taking it we shall have abundant opportunity to help it towards the ?ideal we have formed. A great many people speak of. a difference of principle when there :s nothing more than!: a? difference .-of opinion, and the gap between the two is often very wide. . ?Not every one that professes re ligion possesses it. yet it "is the pos session that counts .with both God and man.

' The Florence"'Times -says: "The Republicans in the'seventh dlstiiU . nrlU put "out two candidates^ for con -gress.

In spite of this . fact, Republican newspapers and spell binders are declaring that the npw , tariff law is such a good revenue producer that it has wiped out the ] deficit. ??i ?.Newspapers are often biamed, and perhaps justly for exaggerated and incorrect news, but think how much worse matters would be in this re spect without them. Tradition, or -'ihe handing or things diiwn oy ciiouth from, one generation to an other, is usually distorted and very Unreliable, whether relating to in ' dividual, local or general affairs. The j value of the press in gathering and preserving news for further refer ence is generally overlooked or too "little appreciated. is an old proverb that "hopo ?deferred maketh .the heart sick. ' it is to be hoped the public may not , iiave to realize this in the matter of ?the federal suits against great com fciuations charged with frauds and conspiracy to restrain trade. It is ,-of course recognized that the .machinery of the law moves slowly, . but this could be patiently endured ?were it not that the law, judging . -from past experiences, provides in ?its' numerous technicalities so many 4oop holes through which guilty men ?escape.

Under this caption the Charlotte Observer says: South Carolina has been term ed the State which requires least formality previous to entrance up on matrimony and which recog nizes absolutely no final sever . ance of such bonds. except by death. So widely are these idio : syhcracies of State law known that it will probably be a sur prise to most laymen' if not to a few lawyers, to learn that the South Carolina Supreme Court has never passed, on a case involv ing the recognition of a divorc* granted in another state. That this Is a fact, however, has been developed by a contest over a will originating in Spartanburg. Some fifteen years ago a divorce was granted in Alabama and the hus band moved to Spartanburg. Six j>r eight years later he married again, his second wife surviving his decease. The Observer is mistaken when it says "the' South Carolina Supreme Court has never passed on a case in volving the recognition of a divorce granted in' another State." Some years ago the validity of a divorce granted in Florida was passed on by the Supreme Court of this State and the divorce was declared Illegal .and of non" effect in South Carolina by that tribunal. If our memory serves us right, a man living in Colleton County quit his wife and children and went to Flordia and secured a divorce thare from the wife he had left, in this State. Later, he return ed* to South Carolina and married again, taking up his residence 'n Colleton County, where he accumu lated some property. On his death, the children by the first marriage sued for his property, alleging that his second marriage was illegal and that the .children by that marriage were not his legal heirs and should not inherit the property of their fa ther. The case was tried before Judge Izlar, who decided in favor of the children by the first marriage. The case was carried to the Supreme Court, which sustained the decision of Judge Izlar. The Spartanburg case is almost identically the same as the Colleton case, and rthe first wife will win out. , Making Home Attractive. ? JDays are rapidly. shortening and with equal certainty nights are leng thening. This means for children fewer hours of daylight for play and sports and, as a consequence, the old problem of how to keep the boys off the streets after dark once more presents itself. With many par ents it is no problem at all inasmuch as they let their children go when and where they please. But to the wise parents solicitious for the moral well being of their children the prob lem, is much in evidence. ? ,:Of ' course the wisest policy is td make' the home so attractive of an evening that children wili show lli tle -or,; no inclination to spend the hours.^pn the street. Games, bright yet .helpful literature for young, peo ple, and good company are the best attraction that can be afforded. But young people like to chum. Girls in a home like to invite their girl friends to their own room where they, can spend a pleasant' time to gether and, as a rule, the room' is I sheerful looking and properly fur nished. The boy likes to do the same thing with his boy companions but it is not often he has such a pleas ant room as his sisters in which to entertain other boys. Almost any kind of a room with scanty furni ture is supposed to do for a boy, but the boy doesn't think so and therefore the temptation to go on the streets or into a social , club or some other such place comes w-th added force. Make the home as co sy and attractive for the boy as for the girl. Crying in the Wilderness. Unole Joe Cannon, who is the scape-goat' of the Republican party, is crying out in the Republican wil derness that the agitation of the revision of the tariff is dangerous. You are dead right. Uncle Joe, it is very dangerous; in fact, it is like a stick of dynamite in the paws of i monkey. But what are-you going to do about it? The insurgents are toying with it as though it was per fectly harmless, and you do not seem to have any influence with them. Tilio only hope you had was in President Taft, and he now seems to agree with the insurgents that something will have to be done with the pesky tariff before the consumer will stop agi tating it. We would sure have a mess if President Taft and the in surgents should have a majority 'u the ? next congress, and attempt a piecemeal revision of the tariff as suggested by the former. But just hold your soul n patience. Un>:le Joe. the Democrats will be in control :n the next Congress, and they will see to'It that the-agitation of the tariff will cease. The standpatters iu the Senate may stop the passage of such a tariff law as the people want, hur when the Democrats get in complete' control of the government in IUI2 they will revise the tariff in the in terests of .the people, and then possi bly the ultimate consumer wiil be able to live again and enjoy life. n the meantime, you can go or cry!,ig in the Republican wilderness. Uncle Joe. It will do no harm. People Live Longer, ?The two oldest people in the world are said to be Frau Dutkie witz of Posten. Germany, who was born Feb. 21, 1785. and Mrs. Baba Vasilka o"* Bulgaria who saw the light in May. 2 784, less than two years after the independence of the United States was recognized by Great Britain. It is well known that there are recorded instances of great er longevity notably that of Thomas Parr who died in 1635 at the reput ed age of 152 years. But in his case and that of some other* the evidence is not altogether^ reliable being founded mostly on tradition. But in the case Of Frau Dutkiewitz and Mrs. Vasilka there is said to be trustworthy documentary, evidence. All this is interesting as showing the extreme length of life one may possibly reach. But what Is more to the point and of greater value ?is the fact that through greater med ical science, more wholesome living and better sanitation the average length of human life is steadily in creasing. It. is Interesting to note that about one person in an age lives to be 126 years old, but it is of greater value to know within the last century several years have been added to the average life of man.
