caused it already.
. .Among the sins which Governor
elect. Foss charges up to Senator
Lodge is >his responsibility for the
force bill, which enraged the- South
a. generation ago. Hit him again,
Gov-ernor, ? ,
Great Britian and Germany
agree to limit their armaments other
.nations would have to follow suit
as the main excuse for large and
powerful navies has been found in
the- xlvaltry and consequent action of
ihe two former powers.
^It Is a gTeat'mlstake to attempt to
?crowd too much work into a limited
amount of time. The result is in
completeness of achievement, and for
the individual himself anxiety ana
unnecessary nervous strain. One
tbiing at a time and that one thing
done well is the best rule to adopt.
Tho man who says that this coun
try, and the whole world are going
fast to ruin because extravagence
reigns supreme is no doubt the prey
of his fours. Yet it is well to have
such a warning for waste and extra*?
egance are altogether tco common,
and there is nothing truer than the
old proverb that "wilful waste makes
v?Oeful want."
?rhe song says, "Home, Sweet
'Homo.'.' But the simple fact is that
many homes are anything but sweet.
Instead of .peace, and contentment
?there.is nothing but discord and dls
?coatent. and the only peace one gets
tfs >wh.en' he is, away from home. Yet
?God meant, that the home should be
thai nearest approach to heaven that
?earth can present.
-Those people, who think that the
plenitude. of our natural resources
Justifies the extravagance practiced
in- our national government should
remember that in the miracle of
loaves and fishes the command was
given to "gather-up the fragments
that nothing be. lost." There was a
lesson in.domestdc and business econ
omy that many might take to heart
with advantage.
iThe News and Courier says "there
must he a general recognition among
the white people of the South that
' their own welfare demands that they
tn.torest themselves actively in doing
all that, they can not only to increase
the efficiency of the uegro as a work
man, but to Inculcate in him sound
corals." The white people of the
South have been doing that very
thin.;; as far as the negroes would
allow them.
.'.Those Englishmen who are raising
euch a row about the money contrib
uted in.this country to he'-p the Irish
Nationalists in the election now go
ing on in Enyland should remember
that self expatiated American. W.
Aster, has seut many thousands of
dollars derived yearly from his Amer
ican provsrty, In vain attempts to en
Iter parliament in the conservative
(Interest, and that he is one of the
Chief contributors to the conservn
iUve war chest.
Tho Emperor William must bo
(having some very bad momenta just
now as the result of the attacks made
upon bim ia the German parliament,
ffle will probably find out in time
that tho doctrine of divine right is
even mcro out of dale now than It
was in. the time of the Stuarts and
thV Bourbons, hut he need not fear
that Iiis fato will be that of Charles
K and Louis XVI. Times have
changed and. through the spirit of
liberty and demorracy is as keen as
ever it oxpresses Itself in less san
guinary form than in former days.
Mr. A. W. Brabham, who lives in
Bamberg County, says he can pro
duce tax receipts which show that
the taxes in Bamberg are from two
to four times as high as he paid in
Baxnwell County before the forma
tion of Bamberg County. He also
intimates that If Bamberg County
ever gets territory sufficient from
CoIIet.r.u County to allow thorn to (>o
so. tho people of the Salkahatchie
valley will vole themselves out of
Hamburg County. This is rather sur
prising, as wo have always been un
der the impressijn that Bamberg was
economically and admirably manag
ed.

The Newberry Obesrver says: '
?There 's so much to do and so lit- j
He tir'e to do it in, and yet there arc
Iota of people who do nothing but j
Iraf. How they live?well, that is
their owa busines?." "But is it?"
treks the New3 and Courier, "Has a
community any place for the man
who does nothing to justify his ex
istence-, who contributes of his own
efforts nothing to the well-being of1
(he 'community?"

i.traiU boms tili..i to-vts -ic just &i
low in small counties as they are in
large counties, wnile tue Press and
Standard holds that taxes are lower
in iarj/;! counties. Mr. A. VV. Brab
ham, of Bamb?Tg county, wrote a
letter to tbe Press and Standard en
dorsing its position in the matter,
'the Herald replied to Mr. Brabham,
claiming that he was mistaken. This
brought a reply from Mr. Brabham,
in which he said: "I can produce
tax receipts which show that the
taxes here now are from two to four
times as high as we paid to Barnwell
county before the formation of Bam
berg county. I paid taxes for my
wife in Colleton county on six times
as much land as I own here and bet
ter land, and the taxes on one-sixth
cf the amount (my own place here)
was almost as great as hers. Ana I
have this statement also to maks,
that each year I am paying higher
taxes; and this is true of my near
neighbors, and I hear complaint on
all sides of the advance in taxes.
Many gocd men refuse to vote, on
account of the yearly increase in
taxes, and if a gcod slice can be ob
tained frcm Colleton in a year or
so, Bamberg will almost be sure to
lose all the Salkahatchie valley. Any
ono doubling any statement I have
made, can refer to the records in
Bamberg, Barnwell and Co'leton.
The Colleton property was returned
by Augustus Verdier In Sheridan
township, my own was returned in
Barnwell county from Three-mile
township and is thus returned in
Bamberg county."
' The Herald makes his reply to Mr.
Brabham: *"
"If our good friend, Mr. A. W.
Brabham, will look up the report of
the comptroller general he will find
[that lands are returned 36 cents per
'acre higher in Bamberg than in
Barnwell, and that'Bamberg's levy is
one-fourth of one mill higher than
I Barnwell's. We have not discussed
the matter of anybody's tax receipts
for the reason that we don't know
anythins about them. Our conten
tion was and still is thr.t the official
reports show that there U very little
difference In the taxes of Bamberg
and Barnwell. As to ths valuation
of special pieces of property in the
different counties, it is likely that
some wa3 returned much lower in
one county than the other, hence
the difference in the amount of taxes
paid."
The Herald frankly admits that
the assessment in Bamberg is a little
hfrher than it is in Barnwell, and
that the levy is a little higher also
in Bamberg than in Barnwell, which
confirms 'Mr. Brabham's claim about
the taxes in the two counties. Put
the Herald does'not comment on the
claim made by Mr. Brabham that the
taxes in Bamberg county are nearly
six times as much as the taxes in
Colleton county. How in the world
than can he so, Is a mystery to us,
but as the Herald allows the state
merit of Mr. Brabham to pass un
challenged we will have to accept
it. Yet, if Mr. Brabham's statement
is true, we can't see why anr par',
of Colleton scanty should want to
vote itself into Bamberg county. The
tax levy of a county does not uidi
cate accuratel- what the taxe.-. are
in it as corapaicd with seme other
county. For ? ctance, one. county
might have a tax levy the same as
an aJJoiuiag county, but ha^e the as
sessment of property twice as high
as the adjoining county. To judge
by the levy one would think tha*.
the taxes in the two counties would
be the same, while, as a matter of
fact, the taxes in one county would
be exactly double what they are In
the other. The above cannot apply
to Mr. Brabham's case, however, as
he figures frcm his tax receipts,
which, of course, shows the amount
of cash paid for taxes in the two
counties. This claim of Mr. Brab
ham's would Indicate that large
counties can be run cheaper than
small ones.
Senate Will Be Close.
The Republicans have not yet
such a cinch on the United States
Senate as they had before the late
Democratic landslide, and the
chances for the Democrats to con
trol that body within the next few
years is excellent. In the late elec
tion the Democrats gained nine sen
ators, one each from the States of
Maine, New Jersey, New York, Ohio,
West Virginia, Indiana, Missouri,
Nebraska and Montana. With the
addition of tb<j four senators from
Arizona and New Mexico, which the
Democrats are almost sure to win,
they will have forty-five members In
the Senate, only flve less than a ma
jority.
Then they have a good chance, of
getting one more senator each from
the States of Maine and West Vir
ginia, as Senators Trye and Elkins
are both in very feeble health, and
may die at any moment. As both of
these States have Democratic legis
latures Democrats would be elected
as successors to these gentlemen
should they pass away in tho next
year or two. This would give tar1
Democrats two more senators and
the republicans two less, which
would tie the Senate, giving the
Democrats forty-seven members and
the Republicans the same number.
One more gain from tho ranks of
the Republicans would give the
Democrats forty-eight senators,
which would bo a majority of two.
Among the Republicans whose terms
will expire in 1913 besides Elkins
and Frye, are Borah, of Idaho:
Brings, of New Jersey: Dixon. of
Montana, and Guggenheim, of Colo
rado. The Democrats tow control
the legislatures of New Jersey, Mon
tana, and Colorado, and they ought
to be able to capture one or more
oc these seats, and hold what they
now have. From the above show
ing it will be seen that the prospect
of the Democrats controlling the
? crate v.:tn;n the next few years is
very encouraging.
Hurting Their Cause.
The resort to physical force by
some of the English sutfrageues w.Ll
scarcely coiun-tnd uitiu ur tneir
cause to a law abiding and reasonable
people. Smashing hats over tae
heads of elder.y men and kicking
;heir shins so that tne victims are
compelled to take to their beds sa
pors more of the actions of tue pet
roleuse of the French Commune thau
of supposedly staid British uiaoona.
If the Wiomen ad acted to such out
rages were of the so-calied lower
classes the wonder would not be so
great, but they are for the most part
of the fashionable clas3 and that
;.ass posts as the embodiment of re
finement and courtesy. It goes io
,how that when people p-S3 the
bound of reason in their advocacy of
i cause, however good that cause may
be, they bring discredit upon them
e.ves, and injure the cause they
.vould help. The question naturally
arises are such women qualified for
the ballet? They are not, and un
less they change their tactics it will
'jo 'a long time before they will he
