The man who is constantly suspi cious of others is probably not above ' suspicion himself The Spartanburg Herald says Or angeburg keeps' on making a noise like a growing town." (What a lot of misery in human li?e might be avoided if people were only more considerate of each other. The one who is constantly doing little acts of kindness and love can always be depended upon to do great things when the emergency arises. Wonder how many Republicans fend hear Republicans in Orangeburg County received a copy of John G Capers' lily white Republican party letter? ?Look out for the short chaage ar tist Such rascals follow in the wake of all big shows. So look out Cor them from now on. Don't change money for any stranger. The Herald, published at Griflln. Ga.., gives notice that it will accept a few frying size chickens on sub scriptions. Frying size chickens ov ?r here in South Carolina is scarcer than silver dollars. Several terrible accidents have al ready happened'in October. If it is fcept up through the month, the re cord will be an awful one. Let us in Orangeburg County be careful so as we will not contribute to the record. " fPeople should steer clear of the narpies that follow .big circusses over the country. The management of the circus does not know anything more about these people than you do. They are thugs and should be shunned by all. Senator E: D. Smith is quoted as saying that cotton this year will sell ?for a higher price than it has. sold <or since the war. We hope the Sen ator is right, and that the high pride will home at once, while the farmers nave their cotton. ?If Capers want some newspapers to back up his lily wbite movement there are a few so-called independent newspapers in the State that might be induced to get down on bis side Of the fence if he can convince them that it will pay them to do so. ? The murder of young Williams, of Columbia, by a lot of thugs that were riding on the circus train from Co lumbia to Augusta should be a warn ing to all people to have nothing to do with the hangers on of circusses. They would murder you for a dollar or less. Wonder if Capers sent any of his lily white Republican party letters to any of our Congressional nomi nees. He does not care bow a man votes in the State election so loug as he acts with the Republicans in rational agairs. Two of1 our con gressmen did that partly. The Independence League of New York, wbose vote Hearst had bar gained to the ticket nominated by Roosevelt, seems to have some meu in it who are really independent, as the league by a large majority has refused to ratify Hearst's bargain with Roosevelt and will run a ticket of its own. ?How self respecting men like John Temple Graves. Clarence .1. Shearn. and others, can do the bidding of a man like Hearst, has alway been a mystery. It must be a great strain ou their nerves to hold themselves always in readiness to believe and advocate just exactly what their po litical weather cockniaster believes and want advocated Such political slaves can have no inbuence with a free people. The man was a pessimist and therefore wrong who said that "man is born to trouble as the sparks fly upward." While, in all truth, there is much trouble and disappointment in every life yet it will not compare with its joys and realizations. And the sum total of joy and happiness in. almost every life would in crease steadily if people would ?but put more of cheer and resolu tion iuto their speech and action. fWonder. why all this fuss is be ing raised about Bryan and his re fusal to vote for a certain candidate oa the Nebraska State ticket? Bry an is a private citizen and has the right to vote for who he pleases Some of the very people who are now denouncing Bryan, ouly a few weeks ago wanted to hang us for criticising a congressional candidate for violat ing his ante-election pledge. Bryan has violated no pledge, he is no can didate, and is a free man to do as fee pleases. CS1.50 .75 .40 Passing; of the Negroes. .That the negroes will disappear from the face of the earth within nine generations, is the conclusion of Dr. Henri Bogart, of Indiana, in an article in the September Medical Summary, after a study of the vital statistics for Indiana. The doctor says, "A careful and-exhaustive com pilation and tabulation of vital sta tistics for two years has convinced me that the end is near, and that the end of the colored race in the United States is so nearly in sight that half a century will have elimi nated the nice question as to politi cal or racial significance." The Indiana statictics as given by Dr. Bogart show, that the tubercular | death rate among negroes is 490.3, while among whites it is 174.2. In the vital statistics for Texas, which has just been published, it is shown that the whites furnish two births to one death while the birth rate among negroes scarcely exceeds the death rate. Dr. Bogart shows that in Indiana, In 19G9, there were 948 births among negroes against 2,09J deaths, and he states, "the skrink-J age in the birth rate is so palpable as to be discernable from month to month." He also calls attention to the fact that the dying out of the negroes is recognized by that most cold blood- j ed of businesses, life insurance, the j old line companies having barred negroes absolutely. The Texas sta tistics show a fearful infant mortali ty 25 per cent, of the deaths among negroes being babies be tween the ages of one and five years. The Greenville News says these fig-1 ures may be startling to those who | "get their information always from others, but to any man of the South who walks the streets with his eyes open they present nothing he does not already know. The News then goes on to say that "the rapid passing of the negroes is as perceptible as the shortening of the days in the fall of the year Not only are there fewer negroes 'seen, but an able-bodied negro is', becoming a noticeably rare thing. I Of; all sickly,. weakly, beraggled. 'starvelings and invalids take the ne ! groes seen on the streets of any j Southern city or the cowering black |and yellow people that face a police magistrate at the regular morning I sessions of his court." We have no-1 ticed these same conditions among many of the town negroes ourselves. ,'Both Dr. Bogart and the State Health officers of Texas, comment ing on the Texas statistics, agree in attributing the direct cause of the high mortality among negroes to consumption. It seems not only that Jthe negro is more susceptible to the (contraction of consumption, but his power of resistance to that .dread di Isease^is far less than a white man's, the Texas Health Officer finding that a negro succumbs in from two to five j years, while a white man prolongs Jthe bafctle from seven to twenty Years. Dr Bogart attributes the ne groe's liability to consumption to the hook worm. He also assumes that the negro j has never been able to hold his own outside of a tropical climate. The ' News takes Issue with this statement of Dr. Bogarfs and calls his atten tion to the fact "that the negro did hold his own. and multiply rapidly land produce a magnificent manhood for two hundred years in the South I of the United State ? but with a white man to take care of him, as. the white man takes care of his horse. ? Further, if he had taken the trouble to question his medical bre thren of the South he would have learned that old physicians declare they never saw a negro consumptive till after the negroes were freed. (The News says the passing of the negro is seen, however, not only In the negro's miserable health, but it is startlihgly proven in economics, and then goes on to show that while workmen are fast pushing the negro aside in many of the callings and taking his place. The News con clude by saying that "the farm and i open country life will prove the ne groes physical and moral salvation if he would get in his natural ele ment." The report of the census l.on the negro, in the face of the above discussion, will be awaited with interest. If it agrees with the facts given above, the negro race in America is surely doomed. Political Ciiaugcs Signs- multiply that politics in this country are iu a state of flux. This doubtless causes many disquieting* among the professional politicians and throws party machines somewhat out of gear. It also puts many a can didate upon the anxious seat. But for all that such a molten, seething condition has its hopeful features. It shows that people are thinking, that there Is a wholesome dissatisfac tion with some things, and that out of it all will come purer politics, a curbing of rapacious power, and greater benefit to the people. Any thing is better than the stagnation of indifference which gives unscrupu lous men the opportunity to further their own selfish ends. One striking fact in the present political situation i? the rapidity with which both leaders and followers of similar thought and aims in the two great parties are drawing close to each other. So evident is this that there is a wider clevage between the two opposing elements in each party than between anyone element and its corresponding element in the oth er party. Does this presage a readjustment or realignment of parties under new names to supersede the old. or does it mean that the weaker element in each party will be absorbed by the stronger? The next few years will probably solve the question Postal Saving Rank.s ?Postal savings banks opened Oct. 1st. Whatever may have been the conflict of views as to their desira bility they are aow an accomplished fact and doubtless will be a boou lb a large number of people who from timidity have hidden their money in clocks, under trees, below the kit chen floor and in other places rather than deposit it in banks. The sav ing instinct. does not seem to be so pronounced in America as it is in many other countries and if the postal banks develop that instict it will be*a good thing. In Great Brit ain 10,000,000 depositors have over $700,000,000 to their credit, an aver age of $70 each. France comes next, with 4,000,000 depositors and is fol lowed by Russia, Germany. Japan and many other countries. All this indicates industry, thrift and confi dence. CLASSIFIED COLUMN One-half Cent a Word Found Notices Free, For Sale?Jersey Milk Cow and Calf. Apply to G. W.
