At least that, is what the New York World says. There are more lame ducks among the Republican Congressmen in Washington at this session of Con gress thsrU has been there at one time since 1392. when Cleveland went, in on a tidal wave. They are visible on every hand. The Columbia 'Record says: "Lou isiana Democrats have elected an other Republican to Congross. His name is J. R. Thornton, formerly a judge." We did not know that Lou isiana bad a Republican in Congress. Will che Record please explain. It was reported during the last campaign that Carnegie had contrib uted a larre sum to the Democratic campaign fund in Mew York. The published reports of the contributions show that Cr-.rr.egio gsvo the Repub licans ?2C:00u. but net a cent did he give the Democrr.ts. Our re'a:ion3 v.ilh Japan are bad ly,strain jd-ag . :\.

They have just caught up with a woman In New York who made a practice of stepping on banana peel ing and suing the railways. She got $5,000 in four years from seventeen railway anil steamship companies. All sorts of schemes are resorted to to swindle the railroads in damage suits. :A worn in reeen'.ly whipped a man on the main street of Mobile, Ala., | with a horsewhip because, as she ex-: plained to the police, the man had j told hrr a lie. If It becomes gen oral for women to horsewhip men for telling them lies, the demand forj horsewhips is going to be greatly in-; creased. In Massachusetts it. is unlawful to circuk'-te political oirr-tKurs u::s:gned. We agree with the Cilumbia Record that "it is i mighty good law, and oar (South Carolina letisl :tnrs would do well 16 icopy it. No person should be allowed to stab another In ihe back metaphorically any more than physically." Tii's has been an epoch-making week in the Southland. The Corn Exposition he'd in Columbia was an event of great import"nee. It means the indepi -d-.r.ic of the South in the matter of her bread and meat. She will fi> longer have her ''orn crib and her smoke house in the West, which m 'tins plenty and prosperity within her borders greater than ever known before in her history. In rep'ylng to an abusive article from the pen of Thos. E. Walsou. Mr. S-viy. editor of the Georgian, concludes that Watson, bis Cornier frien '. is either "a pitiable lunatic or a scoundrel who is attempting to live by blsokm i*l and depraved lying. Person - lly, Mr. Seely says he is in cline^ io ''believe that the latter can not l> - trat?." He thinks Watson is crazy. The Republicans on the Balllnger Investigating committee has done ex actly what they were appointed to do. ai d what everybody expected them to do, whitewash Rallinger. If they tbinic the people of the country wiil accept their vindication of Bal lin?er. they an1 mistaken. lie Is the tool of the* interests, and his paiti sans ou the committee can't con ceal that fact with all the whitewash that they can smear over him. John Cuftie. a Groetiville no?rc> who is sentenced to lw hanged on the first Friday i:i January for killing bis wife, is a sued subject for execu tive clemency. He went home one night unexpectedly and caught a white n an in a compromising posi tion with his wife. .".?!?: i;: attempting to kill the unprincipled white m:iu, ho killed his wife. P?eing a strops believe:- in the unwritten law, ?ve think thai Cufiie should be pardoned by Gov. Ansel. In noticing the death of Command er Platt, V. S. X., a Washington dis patch says ho "piloted the Federal fleet, under Admiral Dupont. into Charleston harbor in I SCI, taking lite first Are of the Confederate shun? batteries, as he pointed the way in the. small pilot vessel, and sticking to his wheel after a she"! had de molished the pilot house and given him a severe concussion." We think this is pure fiction. As a boy we saw that battle. We saw the Federal monitors as they came up lo the at tack, but we do not remember seeiug any little idiot boat leading them. A'ip It in the Bud. General Frederick. D. Grant, com mander of the Department of the East is the latest aivocate of com pulsory military service in the United States, but the idea is not and never will be a welcome one in this country, where the voiunteer plan has served well enough. Moreover, there has been a larie increase of our standing army, the nnmber of regularly eulisted scldlers having been augmented frcm 25,000, some Of teen years ago to about 76,000 at present. The Secretary of the Treas ury, in his annual report, ?hows that during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1910. the disbursements for the War Department amounted to $165, . 000,000. 1 This enormous sum. however, would look like a bunch of small pocket change compared to what tho cost would be if every able-bodie i raan in this country should be re quired to get "the necessary military trailing by three years of service in the array." "Just how much," says the Pioiiston Pest, "measured in j terms cf money, the drain upon the 'productive resources cf the country in order to sunport so stupeudous a military system would be, would re quire some expert figuring to ascer tain with exactness but tho .volume ? wcu'd be something enormous." There is no doubt about it and the cost cf maintaining our present i standing army is about as great a burden 35 the taxpayers care tu bear. This army is quite large enough to ? meet. the rieev!s of the country in [ thtye of peace, and in war it would j have a reserve force in the State I National Guard. The policy of uni ; versal military service which has ; been adopted by some of the great ; European powers will never cam i mand the favor of the American peo ! pie, for the reason that it clashes j harshly with our Uemoaratic ideals. iTho German peasant may be willing to carry a soldier on his back, but the American farmer will never ac cept such a burden and to discuss the id er. is a mere waste of time and . breath or. the pert of General Grunt !an:i. other army officers. The New New Orleans St:;'00,, j from which paper we r;\';o the ab Isars it l'sartily ogives with the view I express-id by the Pest that what this country needs to make it iny?lner iahlo is :'ot. ?Eiversa] military aervjee but thr> organization of more h .corn clubs. Thai, is true, 00 true can I be,; but at the same time this talk a'iout universal military service on the nart of our boys should be nipped in the bud. and those military men who are talkin?. it should be made to undersiand that America is not Germany or Russia. What the Census Shows. Had the county of Orangeburg re mained intact, and not been cut to fovm Calhoun county, she would still rank third lu poiut of population among the counties of South Caro lina, being outclassed only by Char leston and Spartauburg. She would have held third place without the ad dition of the good people that have come to her from the county of Berkeley. With these added, she would have pushed Spartanburg county for secund place. Even as it is, she ranks fif'h, being outclassed only by Andersou. Charleston, Green ville .and Sparenburg counties. Add the 15.000 people she lost when Cnllioun county w; s formt'1 to jher present population of nearly j56.000, Orangoburg county would have 0. pcpulatin of. 71.000. She ! rained about 5,000 population, ex clusive of v. hat came to her from Berkeley county, in the last ten years. This is a good showing, as it indicates that Orangoburg county is I keeping once with most of the conn : ties of t'.ie State, except the large j manufacturing corntles of Anderson, 'Greenville. Ricbland and Sparian ! burg. These fcur counties have [grown more rapidly than any coun jties in. the.State. Charleston remains the banner county, .with a population of SS,59*1, j with Spartanburg a close second j with S3,465. Then follows Ander son with G5.5GS. Greenville with . ok,p,77, Orangebrn with 55.S93 and jRichland with ?">.! 4. No other !county reaches the 50.000 mark. York county approaching thiit figure J nearest of any other county with j 47,7IS. Flehens county bears the 'banner for proportionate increase. 1 percentages of the loaders being, ap proximately: Pickens, 23.S: Ches terfield. 2J.4; Greenville. 21.S; Spar tanburg, 21.5: Florence. 20.1: An derson. 10.9: Richland. 17.3: Greer: 'wood. 17.2. j Dike the county of Orangoburg. ' Marion and Sumter lost heavily in ;population by the formation of new j counties, and therefore had decreases of 14,585 and 12,765 respectively, i Darn well also had a decrease of 1, 1295, Beaufort 5,140. Uorkeley 6,967, Dorchester 393, Georgetown 578 and j Hampton 3,2! 7. Except in the case of Berkeley, which ceded part of her 'territory to Orangeburg, it is ha,-d to explain the deoreascs in these counties. We do not bellow that there has been a real decrease in any ?of them. The apparent decrease, we i believe, was caused by the failure to set*all the people in these counties. Or it may be caused by the emigra tion of negroes. The Hoy of the Hour. While the baseball and foot ball champions, al;>ng with the great b y orators and essayists of the college world, are receiving their chaplets of honor for cue achievement or an other, we wish to call attention to Mo-ster .lorry Moore, of Florence cw.nty. who may or may not be an athlete or a scholar, but who has done ?semethiu: to put his State in the limelight of publicity and that makes him truly the boy of the hour. He Is !?>s than fifteen years of age and weighs less than one hundred pounds, hut he has produced a little more thr.n two hundred and twenry eight bushels of corn on a single acre at a orice that made hie crop a very profitable one. He won several prizes in his county and at the C-rn Expos't on (h Cj'umbia. Desi p.s these prizes Jerry wins a trip to the nation's ccpi'.al at the e.iner.n^ cf the government. His name and hiv !aeh'evcmcrt ill z- Inio the histor ? of S?rth Carolina, and he will b-.' pointed to as a boy whose achieve . ?ne.'ts a*e worthy of emulation. <?fv:*p C.OT-lfr** Vrs t>o--sands c boys like Jerry Mo-.re.

Jerry Moore and all the boys who joined with him in the ?reat corn revival in South Carolina, are entitled to our wann est ponrmondalion for the wonderful lessons they have taught and the benefit they have been to the State In showing her wonderful adaptability to the roising of corn of the very! best variety.
