Times and Democrat, Orange* ?arg, 8. O. After next Tuesday Teddy will be a %as been. He will be disastrously "beaten la New York. The New York Herald predicts that 4ne Democrats will gain about ten ?congressmen in New York alone. This ia cood. Today one week we hope the Dem ocrats will snow under the Republi cans so deep that they will never be ?aible to crawl out. ?Eat and. drink what you can to? tfay with joy, and make merry, Tor tiomorrow?if the Republicans should <win?prices may go up again. iLet every man who is qualified to vote be sure and do so. Every vote may be needed to prevent the Eepublicans from unseating our man. The Times and Democrat is he-e to stay, aud while we edit it we shaih do our best to give the people the very best service that we possibly ?can. The R?publican confidence man -and fake spellbinders are working -overtime trying to take advantage o" the human nature that is natural to us all. The principle work that the Lily White have cut out for themselves 3s to run white men for Congress and Taavo them seated should the Repub licans have a majority. Remember Maine, where the Dem ?ocrats won a gJorlous victory be ?cause but few Democrats failed to vote. To get your vote in is the final test of your Democracy. Ta, ta, Teddy, you are bound for Salt river, and we wish you a safe voyage up to the head of navigation of that well known stream up wh<ch ?so many politicians have gone never to return. Speaker Cannon asks tbat Republi cans stand up and be counted. Thac s. ?U right, Uncle Joe, but a good ?many declare they won't stand up, and lots want to be counted on the Democratic side. Since Teddy has turned hiB atten tion topartis an politics the nature faltlrs are getting active again. We near of a nother living toad embed ded In rock and of an easle carry ing off a sleeping infant to. Its nest. The followers of Teddy are be seeching him: "Lead, Kindly Light, Amid the Encircling Gloom." Ted dy, trudging along at the head of the Insurgent procession, calls out -of the fog: "I can't, I've lost my way!" Should the Democrats have a land ?slide, which Is predicted by some, they are apt to carry several State legislatures now held by Republicans. This would give to the Democrats several new United States Senators in place of Republicans. Boss Penrose'8 candidate for gov ernor of Pennsylvania, John K, Teu er, has not taken the opportunity to explain his participation In 'na National Public Utilities Corporation swindle, and yet the Republican ma chine will count him in unles3 the majority against him is over 100,000. The New York Herald's political forecast, published on Sunday, Is favorable to the Democrats. The Democrats are steadily gaining in New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Indi ana, Massachusetts and Connection;.. They stand ready to carry all of thes?? States and a majority of the Hou3e ?of Representatives is about the way it looks now. Roosevelt, when President, was good to the bosses: Jxe faithfully] shook the federal plum-tree for Al-| drlch, Cannon, Quay, Penrose, Platt, I and even Addicks. But now he it out of office, Mr. Roosevelt Is trying to tickle the public palate by denounc ing the bosses who are not on his side. However, he still snuggles up to some of them. It seems almost too much to ex pect that partisan Republicans will do the square thing, although Ue census should be entirely uon-paru san. Tbe census frauds are so wide spread that they must have been or ganized from some political center, and nearly all the frauds that have been exposed are in Republican states. Turn the rascals out! If, in consequence of the high cost of living, j-ou cannot, afford to buy real wool for yourself, wife and lit tle ones this winter, and you all shiver with cold, remember that i Republican Congress refused to re duce the high tariff rates of the wool schedule which allows the Woolen Trust to charge about double price for its products, and did nothing that r<%cnitnd in lowering the price ?of other necessities of life. Official Advertising. I Some weeks ago the BranchvilU Journal announced that it would make an effort to have ths legisla ture pass a law dividing what as known as the ol'dclal advertising m Orangeburg Cor:nty among all tne newspapers published In the county and pay each one according to its circulation. Tho Times and Demo crat does not blame the Journal for wanting some of the official advertis ing, and really would have no oo jection to''4he- plan it proposes if it was at all practicable. Let us look at the scheme and see how it would work. There are four newspapers in Or angeburg -County who would share in the distribution of the advertis ing under the plan proposed by the Journal. First of all, the true circu lation of each of these newspapers would have to be ascertained. Haw could this be gotten at in such a way as there would be no question of its correctness? Then each official giving out the advertising would hare to make a copy of each advertise ment for each newspaper in the coun ty and pro rata the amount allowed for each advertisement among the different aewspapers. This would entail a good deal of work and expense, not only on the officials, but also on the newspapers. Bach newspaper would have to set up all the advertisements, it made no difference how little their share of the pro rata pay might be. Suppose for the sake of argument, that one of the newspapers had one-fifth ,ot the circulation only. It would hard ly pay that paper to set up sollo I brevier matter and run it three ! times for one fifth of what the law fallows for legal or official advertise ments. The Times and Democrat gets more than that for advertise ments for which it does not have to set a line of type. It is all right when there are only two newspapers in a county for them to agree to divide the official adver tising between them, and then divide the amount allowed by law for said advertising equally between them. But when there are four newspapers in a county the case is different. Each of them is entitled to Its share of the official advertising, and no two papers hrwe a right to monopo lize the advertising by combining. The plan suggested by the Branch ville Journal would be all right, ex cept it would be impracticable for the reasons stated above. The best plan would be, it Beems to us, is to break up all existing agreements about official advertising and let each newspaper stand on its | own bottom, charging full price fcr j all advertising brought it, and exact ing pay on the completion of the work; This would take In all the newspapers, and mould enable each paper to collect for all the advertis ing it does at full rate. We believe this plan would work to the advant age of all the newspapers. We throw it out as a suggestion. If any of the other newspapers have a bet ter plan let's have it, What we want to do is to arrange the matter so as even and exact justice will be done all the newspapers in the coun ty. S':obo J. Simpson. The announcement of the death of this distinguished lawyer and cit izen at hi3 home in Sparunburg was a shock to the Editor of The 'limes and Deinon-at, whose honor and priv ilege It was to number him among his frlenda for the last 35 years. South Carolina had no better citusen. The Spartanburg Journal says "while he was living it was believed anu stated by many who knew him that 'he was the leauing lawyer of the city, i and not only of the city but the cir Icuit. His fairness, his gentle man ners, his devotion to his profession, the absence of all the arts of the shyster, his studious habits, his ae sire to reach justice instead of doubt ful success entitled him to the first place. ('Now that he has gone from uv! it is not extravagant or undue praise to say that he was the first real law yer of the city. Just a few days ago a party in the settlement of an es tate said that she greatly desired his recovery. He was the attorney for the other parties in the settlement, but she could depend on him to do [What was right, although ha was on the other side. He could be depend ed on at all times to do what he considered right. "The home and social side of his life was admirable. All children who knew him loved him. His friends also loved him. We use that word as expressing the warmest affection mingled with respect for a good man. While he waB a good judge of char acter, he never spoke evil of any one. In the court house while mau againg cases he was always the g>n I tleman. The able lawyer, the good 1 citizen, the genial neighbor, the hum j ble Christian has gone from us, but hi? example, his life and character are our rich heritage." We endorse every word said in the above about Mr. Simpson. The true characteristics that marked his life were generosity, humility and faith fulness. In his generosity ho main tained students at three of the lead ing colleges of the State, besides I contributing to many other worthy ; causes moat liberally. In his profes sion, he was peculiarly generous and i helpful to all younj lawyers, en i'courag:ng them, assisting them over rough places in every way possible. A young member of the bar was , heard to say not long ago that 'Mr. {Simpson could oppose a young man jln a case, and could defeat him, and yet with it all, he never left a sting. A neighbor In speaking of him said "his faith and his faithfulness crown ed his life with all that Is best in life; his abounding faith In all that is good, and happy, and boly?and his faithfulness In putting Into ac tive practice the promptings of this faith. The poor, the widow and or phans, the discouraged and unsuc cessful ones, all turned to him for help, and to them above all others, Academy of Music One Night Only, Tuesday.
