Times and Democrat, Orange tag, 6. O. The Augusta Chronicle says Ted has degenerated into a cheap politician. Was he ever any thing ?lse? The man who can speak eloquent ly can please a large number of peo ple, but he who is a'good listener -can even please more. The suspicious man never has any real comfort, for he is either sus pecting nril of others or else cred its others with thinking evil of him. No person is responsible for more good than is within the s**ope of his ability, but to that extent he is responsible. How great one's scope is can never be found without test ing. Unless a great change in political conditions take place between now and then, the Democrats of New Tort will bury Roosevelt and Hearst . in the same political grave on Tues day, November 8. ? ;It may be a far cry from the sen ate just inaugurated in China as part of. her. government to our free representative institutions, but it is at least a step forward and shows that even the most fossilized of As iatic nations are feeling the impulse ?of western civilization. Americans are great spendthrifts. If they make money fast they also spend it fast. A financial journal investigating the estates of 50,000 people, all of whom had large in comes, finds that only 2,000 of the number left property, after the es tates were settled, of more than $5, 000. ? The New York World, having been charged by Roosevelt of being in the foy of Wall Street, challenges him to show up books with it and see who has revived the most mon World, ^nie challenge will be ig nored, of course, for the best' rea sons. It is a matter for rejoicing that the. census returns, show that the gain in population is so general and not confined to one or two sections It means that the whole country shares in the great prosperity which this increase indicates and that fur ther development will continue to be national and not sectional. "Keep me and this buik clean" was the prayer of an old Scotchman in starting business which in after years grew to large proportions. The same prayer if more widely followed would mean fewer false ledgers, cooked accounts and false weights and measures. There is a crying need in some quarters for an old fashioned business honesty. Those people that imagine that the British government is becoming socialistic will believe their view to ?be strengthened by the fact that it has secured the en'tire telephone system of the country with its half a million subscribers and 18,000 employees. For many years the gov ernment has owned the telegraphs and if it handles the telephone as satisfactorily as it has the telegraph the people will have good reason to be glad. Why is it that so many violaters of 'the customs consist of wealthy manufacturers who have ma'de their wealth throug hthe advantages the tariff has given them? One would think that gratitude, if not patriot ism, would lead them to declare the goods they bring home with them from foreign countries instead of seeking to struggle them. Evidently they do net want to do for the coun try what they are glad to have the country do for them. The Cook-Peary controversy and the Elkins-Arbuzzi engagement or non-engagement will not down. Ap parently the public is indebted for this to the fertile imagination and pen of the foreign correspon dents and reporters of the large city dailies. The only way to settle it is for Cook to produce his proofs, if he can, and for the principals in the other affair to marry each other or some other persons. Then and not till then may we expect the "in cident closed." Apparently most of the recent disasters that have resulted in so great a loss of life have been due to carelessness or neglect of orders. No protection against accident and no regulations, however stringent, can avail to any extent unless those who have the carrying out of those orders properly perform their du ties. If human life were held in higher regard and the sense of re sponsibility for the safety of others more deeply ingrained there would fce far fewer tragedies and bereaved Jaomes. v How Their Vot*?s Hurt. The overshadowing issue in the present national campaign is the tar iff. It is the only-issue that the Democratic party has won a national victory since the war. It was this is sue upon which the Democrats won in Maine, and It is" upon this* Tssu'e that the Republican party has splic into two factions. As the State says from the Democratic viewpoint it is pitiable that the attitude toward pro tection of many Southern Democrats r?looking for" a dollar instead of supporting a principle?has weaken ed the party as a leader in tariff re form and given insurging Republi cans tenable ground on which to de fend themselves as the most reliable opponents of protection. ?When these Democrats deserted their, party last year and voted with the Republican machine in opposi tion to the principles of their par ty, The Times and Democrat de clared that these individual acts of desertion of party principles would be visited against the party as a whole in the next campaign, and the failure of the party to stand its ground would be thrown into the faces of Democrats throughout the North and West. That prediction is being daily verified. And now comes Collier's Weekly, independent, but powerful champion of tariff reform, declaring for Insurgents as against Democrats. Here is the reason Coll ier gives for preferring the Insur gents to the Democrats': * , Whereever an Insurgent is the Republican nominee, he should he elected. The Insurgents, as a body, represent the most wholesome and vital political movement in th? ' United States at this time. A Republican majority in Con gress, if that majority is dominat ed by the Insurgents, as now seems probable, holds out more prom ise of real tariff revi?iQn down ward than a Democratic majority. The Democratic National Con vention at Denver in July, 1908, put this plank in their platform: "We demand the immediate re peal of the tariff on wood pulp, print paper, lum'ber, timber and logs, and that- these articles be placed upon the free list." The Democratic orators thrust this plank forward in all the doubtful States. In the Middle West it was a popular battle-cry; it is not too much to presume that the scant 4,102 votes by which Bryan carried Nebraska were due to this plank. In April, 19v9, less than a year later, the Democrats had a chance to make good. In framing the tariff bill, an amendment was in troduced providing for free lum ber. That amendment was defeat-, ed by a vote of 200 to 181?ard 38 of the Congressmen who^^rjted against free lumber werf?-'Demo crats. They were: /**" ?From Geo r g i a--*^E d w a r d s, Griggs, Adamson.. -Livingston, Le.?, ?From North Carolina?Small, Thomas, Pou, Godwin, Page, Webb. From Virginia'?Glass, Lamb, Lassiter, Maynard,, Saunders. iFrom Louisiana?Est o p i n a 1, Broussard, Watkins, Ransdell, Wrickliffe, Pujo. From Mis sissippi?Bowers, Dick son. From South Carolina?Ellerbe, Lever. From Tennessee?Padgett, Gor don, 'Moon. From Alabama?Taylor, Hob son. ?From Florida?Sparkman, Mays iFrom Pennsylvania?Wilson. From Texas?Dies, Gregg. If these thirty-eight Democrats had not deserted their party to vote with the Republican machine, free lumber would have won by a vote of 219 to 162. Only one of these thirty-eight Democrats comes from north of the Mason J and Dixon line. Of course these Democrats voted for a duty on lum?ber because it was for them a local home industry?Which is exactly the same reason why the Pepublicans voted for high duties, and under the sufficient explana tion of our high tariff. Many of the Democrats were perfectly frank about it. Clark of Florida, for ex ample, said: "If you put what my people want in the bill, if you give them protection against Cuba on pine apples, and give them protection against the pauper labor of Egypt on long-staple cotton, and take care of their lumber and all these things, then you may put what you please in it." I No honest man can blame Collier for favoring Insurgent victory rath er than Democratic victory. It will be seen that when the Democrats had the chance to put lumber on the free list thirty-eight of them deserted their party to vote with the Republican machine. To our shame, be it said, that thirty-seven of these deserters were Southern Democrats. Only one Northern Democrat, to their honor be it said, deserted his party and voted with the thirty seven Southern Democrats for a du ty on lumber with the Republicans. If the Democrats are defeated in the election next month it can be laid at the doors of the Southern Demo crats who deserted their colors in the presence of the enemy, and final ly went over to them. Making Great Progress. The successful visit to this coun try of the Irish parlimentary dele gates who seek financial aid to help Ireland win home rule calls atten tion to the great progress in the direction of home rule that has been made in recent years. From the time that Isaac Butt was the first champion of the cause, up to the present time the struggle has had rts ups and downs, but on the whole it has been upward. The great task of convincing England, the "predom inant partner," that home rule for Ireland is right in both principle and policy has been accomplished, and the goal is now;in sight. The one remaining obstacle is the house of lords and, the impending drastic re form of that body will clear the way. Home rule for Ireland will probably be followed by home rule all around, by which is meant legis latures Jin England, Scotland and Wales to deal with questions partic ularly affecting those countries as a parliament on College Green will CLASSIFIED COLUMN One-half Cent a Word Found Notices Free.

That the agricultural resources of the State are to be fully exhibited at the State fair this year is shown by the fact that Clemson college has consented to aid the society In mak ing attractive the annual collecting of the field crops. In addition to the aid secured from Clemson college, the agricul tural schools of the State, the fair authorities are very anxious for farm ers to send samples of their products for exhibit. Encouraging letters have been received from every section of the State showing interest in this department and the superintendents say that they hope this year's outlay of field crops will rival all other de partments' efforts. During the summer Prof. J. N. Harper, director of the Clemson ex periment station, has been soliciting exhibits and their work has been crowned with success. In this work Prof. Harper was aided by his asso ciate professors at Clemson. When the State fair opens, October 31, Prof. Harper and those who are working with him, will be here to make an at tractive arrangement of the articles and samples of crops sent here. Clem son college will have a large exhibit, but nothing from the college will be in competition with individual ex hibits. O ? The premium list In the field crops department has been arranged in an entirely new manner this year. The first prize for best display of farm products is $75, second prize $26. The dates for the fair at Columbia are: October 31, November 1, 2, 3, 4. First Father is Cured of an Erup tion, that Burned and Itched Day and Night Then Baby is Cured nf a-Distressing Rash. Neighbors Pleased to Find a Sure Cure for Skin Afflictions. "I suffered for eight years with what the doctors called the 'seven year itch.' Thli was like small red pimples such as form on the face but they burned and itched, day and night. These pimples were from my ankles up, but mostly on my thighs and arms. I tried doctor after doctor but their medicines brought no relief. But at last I struck the right treatment ? this was Cutlcura. I bought a set of the Cutlcura Remedies ? Cu ticura Soap, Ointment and Pills ? and a few applications brought relief. When I had used about half the set I was nearly cured and after using two full sets I was well und best of all, I have stuyed cured. "About four months ago, our baby began to be covered with a rash and his head with & spreading sore. Back of the ears, the flesh cracked open and the poor baby would scratch till It bled. He worried, cried and could not sleep. Then we bought a set of Cuticura and with a few applications tie burning and itching ceased, baby steppjd worrying and could sleep. Whenthls sffiiUe set had gone we had no use for any more as baby was never troubled with the disease again. The neighbors who saw the condition of the baby all asked what cured him a id when we told them, they were surprised a 3d. pleased to find a sure cure for these sUn afflictions. Edward H.
