Remittances should be made by dbsck, money order, registered let tea, or express orders, payable to Che Times' sad Democrat, Orange, tars, & C We will not hear the last of Well man and his faiure to go to Eu rope by balloon in the hett six months, Walter i6 a huge humbug. ' it would "be no more sin to kill Ed Bird, now in the penitentiary at Columbia, if he is really guilty of the awful crime with which he is charg . ed, than it would be to kill a rat tlesnake. The Columbia State, with "its characteristic enterprise and push ?published the details of the failure ?f Well-man's 'airship trip to Eu Tope as written 'by Wellman him self. The' State believes in heading the procession. Roosevelt accused the New York Herald ot being controlled by "W&I1 Street The World retorts by offering to open its books-in full to Ilm, if he will in turn show up the list of his campaign contributors in 1904. This challenge put Teddy in a hole. Fish bait should be made of all such fiends -as the scoundrel who committed that aw/ul crime in Co lnmlbla on last Friady, regardless of the color of his skin or the skin of Iis victim. Such a fiend shoe id not .be allowed to desecrate this beauti ful world by his presence ten minutes after his guilt is established. ? The only danger that confronts Hie Democrats in carrying the nexl House is the fact that thirty-six Southern Democrats voted a tax on lumber. It is said on account of this vote the people out West are distrustful of the Democratic party being in favor of tariff reform and will vote for the Insurgent Republi cans. ?fThe boldness of that black fiend in Coluhbia, who entered the home of a respectable citizen in open, broad daylight and criminally assaulted hie wife at the point of a pistol, should be ? warning to ladies left alone, in the towns as well as the country. This crime was committed in a thickly settled part of Colum bia. As is usually the case, the black fiend who committed that, awfuf crime in Columbia the other day is a loafing, roving vagabond. It is just such scoundrels as he is that commit all such crimes. The honest, industrious negroes are never guilty of such outrages, and whenever one of these loafing rascals come along he should be made to move on or serve on the chain gang. In the finding of true bills by the grand jury at Chicago against' ten meat packers there has at last come to pass what has liong been needed? the indictment of individuals in stead of corporations. If the indict ed men should be found guilty and sentenced to prison terms more in that one case will be accomplished to break up unlawful combinations of trusts than could possible be done by any number of fines imposed -on corporations. .Those theorists who would regu late the size of families and control other domestic arrangements by statutory law mean well no doubt, ?but they do not seem to understand human nature to any extent. A lit jif more contact w'h society would probably make them less visionary and more practical. That there is great need of more common sense and consideration in many a family no one can question, but the way to "bring it about is by education and training rather than by arbitrary laws that interfere with the sanctity and independence of the home. '.Much harm often results from ig norance and uncleanly habits. The outbreak of cholera in Italy this summer can be traced to a band of gypsies that cooked their food in pots in which they had washed their clothes. Members of the band were the first victims of the scourage that has killed thousands and caused peo ple to flee in terror from infected cities. Cleanly ha.bits. plenty of sun shine and proper precautions and remedies are a thousand fold more effective in warding off the disease or i recovering from it, than charm? and amulets. Every community has Its shirkers and workers, its mopers and hopers. The general appearance of a place and its business and other conditions at once betray whether the people who shirk and mope are in the as cendancy or those who work with a will and in the spirit of hope and cheer. The people who stand in the path of progress and adversely crit icise every improvement are disloy al to the best interests of the place. Fortunately the characteristic Amer ican optimism and-local pride usual ly win in the end and account for the progress that most communities ?suake. ;. .91.90 ... .75 ... .40 South Carolina Corn Record. "Every now and then we have to stop to set our contemporaries aright as to the world-record of corn pro duction, and to see that the banner, which South Carolina bears so proud ly aloft, Isnot lowered or ignored," says The State. The State then pro . ceeds to give the facts as follows; South .Carolina holde the world I record, and will continue to hold it until the farmers 'o f other States can do a great deal better than they have iheen able to do within the last few years. Up to the present writing, they are not within sight of the corn pennant, which bears the magic num j ber?255. Under the caption, "Southern Corn Records," The Manufacturer Record of Baltimore1.. gJ-'es some so-called "records.'' These are not records at all, as they' do not approach the fig ures for corn-production in this j State though they are pretty encour aging as showing a laudable, desire to rival us. We are told of yields of 100 bush els to the acre and up. A crop of 117 bushels to the acre is declared to be very good, as it is; hut that U ,by no means a record, unless for some county or vicinity. When the "record" begins to crawl upward to 147, 150, 163, and: 192 the figures begin to talk. But they are still out of long-distance telephone connec tion with the South Carolina bumper crop. Just to keep the South Carolina record straight and fresh in the minds of our competitors, we shall here restate it: ' A? long ago as the year 1857, Dr. J. W. Parker grew 200 bushels of corn upon a single acre of land witbin a mile of Columbia, Si C. That is some corn-growing, but U was not good enough tor South Car olina. We felt that the all-responsive soil of this Commonwealth should do a little better. ? ? In 1889 Captain Zachariah Jordan Drake undertook to establish a real record for South Carolina and, of course, the world. He bandied an acre, petted it, stimulated it, nursed it?with the result-that he eclipsed the Parker record, which had stood j for a generation, by a clear 55 bush ; els, harvesting 255 bushels from a single acre of South Carolina soil. There is the world record?255 bushels of shelled corn to the acre. 1 Such another crop of corn has never been produced outside the border, bourne, and bounds of South Caro ] lina. The South Carolina record is, ' as it should be, the record of the ! world. i Harriman in Panama Canal Deal. ', The New York World, which had t to meet a criminal-libel prosecution by the United States Government for the original printing of the story about profits made by certain Ameri I cans out of the sale to the United , States of the old French Panama j Canal securities, brings forward now I a facsimile reproduction of a sheet from Kuhn, Lc-ab & Co.'s books ap ! parently shwin.:; that the late E. H. j Harriman, between January and j July, 1902, invested $40,822.48 in these securities, and in April, 1903, invested $115,070 more in them. His profits, when the claims were allow ed, were $86,447.38* on this showing. , The World notes that in October, 1904, when Qlr; Harriman contrib uted $50,000 to the Roosevelt cam paign fund of $260,000 which he per sonally raised, the railroad magnate knew substantially what his profits would be on the French Panama se curities and was giving only a part of that profit to the fund: !In this argument dates are impor tant. Between January and July, 1902, came the marvellous flop in Congress on the Nicaragua-Panama issue. On June 18 of that year a Senate that had been pretty even ly divided on the issue took up a House bill providing for Nicaragua Canal and voted to amend it as sug gested by Senator Spooner, giving preference to the Panama route. The vote was 67 .to 6. That was a startler to everybody. But when | the House, which had a few weeks oefore voted stoutly for Nicaragua, stood on its head and passed the iSpooner amendment by 250 to 81 [on June 26, the astonishment of ob-J servers was redoubled and it was natural enough to ask what Bort of forces had produced the change ol sentiment. iThe second purchase by Mr. Harri man, in April, 1903, was after the French interests had given the $40, 000.000 option and just before the option was to expire on March 4 of the same year. The troubles with Columibia were swelling. The ac ceptance of the option rested abso lutely with President Roosevelt, with whom Mr. Harriman was then on ex cellent terms. T?rat Mr. Harriman had his reasons for believing that the option would be accepted is clear ly the World's theory. Old as the Hills. "There is nothing new under the sun," and we find that Roosevelt's "New Nationalism" is as old as the Democratic party, and probably as' ancient as the Anglo-Saxon race, n."?? j that he has told us just what it j ftands for: "Efficient honesty and the right of the people to rule." Such has airways been Democratic policy; for the question, "Is he honest and is he able?" has always been applud to Democratic candidates for office. The right of the people to rule has never been questioned by any par ty; and to preserve that right from Republican despoilers, the Democracy has demanded and put in force? where it has been given the power? state-wide primaries, the initiative and the referendum, and is still de manding the election of United States Senators by popular vote, which the Republican majority in Congress has denied. It is plain, therefore, that Mr. Roosevelt in his search for something new has merely become a plagiarist of what has long been the property of Democracy. Get a move on you, Teddy, and invent some thing new, for your "New National ism" is as old as the hills to most of'tts, though'it has Jong, been hidden, under a bushel by the Republican leaders, including yourself. But are you sure that you have told us all that the New Nationalism stands'for? Circuit Court Sale. State of South Carolina, Coun*y of Orangeburg. ?in Commm Pleas.
