The cold weather has come and j,one?but Is on its way again. The weh-bred person will never uiake light of sacred themes nor will be speak disparingly of a woman. Several murders have been com m. itted in this county in the last few ?weeks by negroes upon negroes. . The man of suspicion and jeal ous .nature never has any peace of mind. He Is always ready to imagine the Vorst and generally wants to. How foolish it is to worry oursel acs and others with what cannot be remedied, or 1o make ourselves mis erable because we cannot always have what we want. . Poverty is uncomfortable as many people can testify. But nine times out of ten the very best thing for a young man is to begin life without livo dollars in his pocket, but with a good character and undaunted spirit. The men who wero held over in I exington as witnesses in the Wil hams . murder case, say they never want to work on a circus again. Most of them left the same day they wero discharged. A young widow of Shreveport. La., recovered $500 damages from a man who kissed her by force. The judge ic entering judgment told the Kisser that he "looked old enough to know better. That is what we would call expensive ascertation. We fail to see how any one can justify a protective tariff that en riches the few at the expnese of the many, and if the Democrats don't show their willingness to lift the b?rden Imposed by the Republican tariff on the people they will stand no chance of electing the president ?n 1912. One way by which a lot of people may show compassionate thought fulness of the Christ is by doing their Christmas trading early. To wait to almost the last moment and theo wear oi$t a whole army of clerks by undue demands upon their) time and strength reflects anything bitt the Christmas spirit. ?it really looks as if England and Germany would at last agree to lim It t.'ie size and number of their war vessels. It is probably that both na-| tioas would be only too glad to cut ; down their naval expenses if it could be done without seeming to surren der a principle, for the burden of j taxation presses exceedingly and in-i c. -.. Ingly hard upon the people. I a> a result of the carousal on the :-ircus train The night young WIl-: 3lams was killed, Geo. Nichols, white, j and three colored men, Garland' Erorrn, John Wilson and Elijah C):.! ke, have entered upon life tori us at the penitentiary, and three other ne.oes will contribute three years or heir valuable time to help build go d roads over in Lexington Coun- ' ty. If "honesty is the best policy",] willen we do not for one moment1 tii ?.';tion, it is clear that a very large I n: atber of storekeepers throughout tl. ? country do not practice it.] vY ights and measures inspectors iu \ ir <y cities find well nigh countless n' asures of which the bottom is tc- ' near the top, scales that do not j b ' inee, and weights that go twelve ! ami fourteen ounces to the pound. Whether at sea or on shore the o>; iands of the worker for better] livSag conditions are usually reason-J shitty, however intemperate may j eoi'.otlmes be tbe expression of these remands. The vast difference be-j f wyon the daily wage of the laborer j ?od the untold mllions of profit reap ed by a few corporations Is not just I mill therefore is prejudicial to the' lc-> Interests of the state. That millionaire in Berlin who In I the company of a lot of men and wo-1 uu-n of his own moral stamped dis :o!.-d and plunged into a high tank o" water must bo the envy of some o' che guilded youth of Pittsburg a-id Newport. The whole incident in all Its details of laughing and ap plauding spectators and its Immoral1 iitiuospbere is slgnificent of the de moralizing influence of wealth and leisure when they are uncontrolled hy character and principle. One of 1he chief conservative slo- 1 {?ans in England in the present elee- ' tiou campaign, is 'The American dol- \ lar." The bogey with which they are seeking io scare the voter is the fact j several thousand dollars have been | Kent from this country to aid the Rght for Irish home nilo. The cry , will apparently act as a boomerang ; for the conservatives conveniently forget that Sir Wilfred Laurlcr and j ether Canadian statesmen, both iib- j oral and conservative, have al&o con-] tributed to the same.cause. Startling Statictics. The people of the United -States are far becoming the most mixed of ; 11 the peoples on the globe. The census of 1900 showed a little over 10,000,000 people in the United States of foreign birth, not to men lion some millions with one or the other or both parents foreign born. The census of this year will show a considerable increase in this foreign element. The- aggregate of the im migration to this country since the last census, Including the arrivals for the month of July, was 8,868, 539.. Of these only 910,851 came from English speaking countries ? Eng land, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. About twice as many Italians, or 1, S24.109, have im aigrated to the Lnited States in the last ten years. The Hebrews are next, with 880,539, followed in order by the Poles, with SS5.347; Germans, 703,744, and Scandinavians, with 538,794. These figures made a big inroad on our Anglo-Saxon race strain. The English-speaking immigrants eome from the British lies as fol lows: England, 383,125; Ireland, 373,794; Scotland, 134,911. and Wales, 19,021. The Italians came mostly from southern Italy. The mixed races that inhabit Russia and southeastern Europe sent of Rus sians. Rusniaks, Slovaks, Roum?n !uns, Croatians, Slavonians and Lith uanians an aggregate of 1,524,255. France, of all the greater European countries has been most niggardly in her donatiors to our composite citi zenship, sending in the last ten years but little over 100,000. Spain, with I CS,912, and Greece with 81,992, con tributed to the tide of immigration from southern Europe. [ Most of all this immigration set t'ed in the Northern and Westeru ! Slates, and most of this great built [has contributed to the swollen popu lation, as the pending census will [show, of the larger cities of the East and middle West. As far as people jof English-speaking races are con 1 corned, the completed census of this 3 ear will sltow a greater proportion of them than ever, as compared with the rest of the country, makinjfthcir aliding places in the Southern States The total immigration to this country since 1S20 is 27,85)4,293. The average for the vrst decade was 12,000; for the second, 53,000; tha third, 152,000; fourth, 304,000; fifth, 209,000; sixth, 496,000; sev enth, 525,000; eight, 359,000; ninth, SS6.000. The immigration the last ten years was 3,1500,000 greater than for all the years prior to the civil war, or forty years of immigration. The tide of immigration was highest in 1907, when it reached l,2S5,34j). !E. C. Syder, who compiled the above figures from the public re .ords, says no such movement of hu man beings towards a common desti nation is recorded in history. What effect this great influx of ignorant Italians and the mixed races that In habit Russia and Southern eastern P.urope will have on our political in stitutions Is a aerious problem. In the meantime, let us be thankful that 'ew of these people find their way lo rhe South. Twenty Dollar Corn Land. In the course of an article In Col lier's Weekly of November 26th the pilitor of that journal, after citing South Carolina's record in corn-pro duction and directing attention to he coming South Carolina Corn Ex 1 osition in Columbia?December 5-9 - -asked w;hy should farmers pay one hundred dollars an acre for corn land in Iowa when land that would produce as much corn could be bought in South Carolina for twenty doilars. Dr. R. J. Drew, of Kingston, Wis consin, writes to Collier's as fulhvvs: "In regard to your article 'The Com ing South,' can you give me tbe ad dress of anyone living in South Car olina owning or handling land in the rorn-growing section. At twenty dollars an acre corn land appears to me a good investment." We take the above from the Co lumbia State. In commenting on {t 'he State says "we print the letter fro there may be a contest open to to the State for Dr. Drew. The Commissioner of Agriculture, secre taries of the Chambers of Commerce, pnd owners of land can give him m lormation. He should be offered land at twenty dollars that is worth twen ty dollars." Why not locate Dr. Drew and many like him in Orange luirg County? Our lands are good for corn, cotton, or any other pro duce that is needed by man or beast. Dr. Drew is the kind of emigrant that we want to come and settle among us. They will be heartily wel comed. History Repeats Itself. There is a curious parallel between rhe recent mutiny of the Brazilian ll<-et and t?-i of the Brltsh C-j?t at ?> pith cad !>; 1797. In both instantes ?ic seamen overpowered their su perior officers, took possession of the ships and hoisted tho rod flag. In both instances, also, the causes wore the same?poor wages, poor and in sufficient food and corporal puir h '?.ionf. There was. however, ok- -lif feren.C9 in tho matter of corpo! 31 punishment in that while the Brazil ian sailors demanded its abolition the British sailors did not go so far but demanded that excessive flogging should cease. Tho difference be tween tho extent of the two demands indicates the progress of humanity curing the interval between the two mutinies. And. as a matter of fact, dogging in the British navy was dis carded thirty years ago. Another parallel is seen in the fact that in i btfth fleets the men gained their J ends. In tho British fie t happy re-1 ^.:its followed in the greater con tentment, mere willing obedience and b Uer living that prevailed. And ! provided discipline is not weakened, j the same results may be expected in ' the c;.so of the Bazilian fleet. Labored. "Do you call mat an explanation?" said Senator Aldrich. He referred to a brother senator's reply to a charge that he had contradicted himself in consecutive tariff speeches. "Do you call that an explanation? Why, it is as labored as the Duluth palmist's." "A Duiuth palmist," Senator Aldricb resumed, "said, as he studied the palm of a young Duluth shipping cierk: " 'Useless to pretend that you have a long lire before you. The life line, you perceive, ends right here. No, voung man, you are bound to die at the age of 4 OA "He babbled on five or ten minutes more. Then, forgetting what he had said first, he declared: " 'And this small line here shows that you will marry at the age of 37 and will have 14 children.' " 'Fourteen children?" gasped tht shipping celrk :'How the.deuce cat that happen when I'm to die at 40?' "The palmist, turning very ret. stammered: "Why?er?you see?the fact is?' "His face cleared all of a suddei and he said glibly: " 'You'll marry a widow with 3 little ones.' "?Louisville Times. Whsl's the Difference? The dinner had net gune at all well The w&.ter was slow, the fcod \va. cold, and the cooking was bad. The guest in the German restaurant was oi naturally peevish disposition anyhow, and he complained vigorously to the head waiter, and especially complain ed of the waiter at his table. As he was leaving the waiter said humbly: "If you only knew vat a bardt time us vaiters hat, you yould nicht be sc hardt." "Hut," said the guest, "why be a waiter?" "Vot else couldt I do?" asked the waiter. "Well," said the guest, "up at tht Metropolitan Opera House they pay a man $5 a night to play the oboe. Yoi might try that." "Budt," said the waiter, 'I don'1 know how to play dot o*boe." "What is the dill'erence?" observec the guer.t as lie turned away, leavini a much mystified waiter. "You don'i know how to wait,* either; you might scatter your incompetence."?Cosmo politan. Too Great a Strain.
