If but a majority of the ?ood laws apon the statute books of the State weire only enforced what, a reforma tion there would be. A tree not only lies as it falls but It SaUs as it leans. This fact should teach men to consider which way their habits are leaning that they may straighten them if the leaning Is In the wrong direction. ?Sometimes men who are supposed Co be politically dead as the result of election defeat*1 have an uncomfort able habrt of coming to life again, which fact helps -to show what an au,o?irtainty politics is. Vast ?'re the services to mankind Of groat and distinguished men, yet It must not be forgotten that it is cot eo much to them as to the steady fip&tle work of the multitude of av eiagv men and women that the world owes its uplift Japanese newspapers are predict ing a war between their natives and the United States, and are urging Japan to get ready for it. We be lieve Japan la quietly getting ready for a war with us, which will come In a few years. We lament with the good folk; of Calhoun county their failure to get another member of the legislature, antt hope they will have better luck neat tfcr.o. In the meantime we in vite them to keep an eye on old Or ageburg and watch her grow. 15ach McGhee, the Washington cor respondent of the Columbia State, aays South Carolina may lose one of I her congressmen by the apportion ment under the new census. The .Anderson' Mail says we could get ?along without two or three- we have, >imt declines to name them. Always there are people who think fchit; conditions of life were better in bygone days thai* chey are at the pr?sertt'time. Of that class must be ,tbe'scientist, expert, or whatever he calls himself, who says that men are weaker and more effeminate than they were thirty years ago. ? ? 1 ?vGr in Tennessee a judge has ruled that the possession of a reve nuelit; :;or license is not prima facie thai thy possessor is violating the atate prohibition law. In South Carolina, says the Charleston Post, s man with such a license is not re fpirded as owing it for his health. A certain authority advised people aot to put their trust in princeB. In this country we have no princes but Cliero are lots of politicians, and it is the part ol wisdom not to trust over much in the promises they make. They will bear watching and their memory, needs oftentimes to be stim ulated. . ..Go v. Ansel has received long pe-? fltions from many counties for the pardon of Pink Franklin, but not one from Orangeburg county. Surely, before any action is taken in the ?C&ae of thi3 murderer, the people who U.now more about it than any other people will be heard from aboui, it. Tbe Messenger is the name of a aew paper just launched at Bates burg by -Tohn Bell Towlll. The Mos eenger is an eight page, six column paper, ably edited, and presents a fino appearance. John Bell To will is not ?. now hand at. the bellows. He is an old newspaper man, havln? edited a country paper before. We wish bin: success. The Osnbury, NT. C, Reporter says j (hat Elder J. G. Southern, of that bounty, a Primitive Baptiai preacher, has f.oen cured of pellagra by pray er. Pie was ill with the disease a' Ion? time; says he took a raft of! mciifiine. but getting no relief, he! prcscedod to pray for recovery, In I se.iSon and out, and now he is as j well ,in <>.vcr. The oardon of Pink Franklin j v,'ouK be au outrage on the people Of the .wtloa in which he committed his eotd blooded murder. There has been a good deal of sickly. 3c-nti W&ntal stuff written about this case, which we hope Gov. Ansel will not allow to Influence bis action ij: UioJ Case. With all tho glamour thrown! al'0::L It in lon? editorials in some off the daily ;.iress, It yet remains u coli! blooded murder for which tho our-| deror 3houId be hung. Most people with any regard for; the* d^tor.cies of Ufa will applaud tho I action of tho Chicago authorities in prohibiting the puublic presentation of Salome in thai city. In addition to ? "' :". the play wh*ch is Btig?estlvc! : c-' indecency there Is much thai; 's ? repel'ant, and altogether It is an j e* peril to thp morbid mind. Of course ' there a ~r.o.! deal of twaddlo about ?*hirh art." The truth is that with some people ;!?r?t which uy call ? "r *rl" Is synonymous w 1 low; c,....... . j-jjfj'- the an the' lower the c:era.is i Races Will Not Mix. We do not share the opinion or some people that the ultimate solu tion of the race question in the Souta will be brought about by the amalga mation of the whites and blacks. We [cannot conceive of a more horrible {fate for either race than the condi 'tion such a solution of the problem would bring about.. The white race of this country are not only preju diced'against the nagro in social mat ters, but against ail other races ex cept his own. Asi a proo! of this, take the recent incident at Pasa dena, Cal., where all the white glrJs refused to attend a ball given in honor cf Japanese naval officers con nected with Japanese war vessels visiting the Pacific coa?t. ?The city council of Baltimore ha? recently passed an ordinance pro hibiting negroes from living in cer tain sections of that city. Many of the Gtates have laws separating the races on trains and other modes of travel. The o?st hotels of a:> the States refuse rJgroes admicsi ?n be cause they know that their enter taining negroes would mean th? ius.? of their white patronage. A Repub lican President, though he is put in the White House dare n:n appoint a negro to any court where wti'tf ? People 1'tijate their deferences. V.'.'iiie"children in California refused to a'i'oni public schools where Jap anese children were received as pu pils. These incidents show that white people refuse to mix on the Dlar. j of sociaL equality with other races j besides the negro race. I The Spartanburg Journal says "In ! all the history of the world there has j never been a mixing and blending of j two races distinct in color and racial characteristics. It Is only on the J lower plane of society where there I Is miscegenation on a small scale, and the result is that the offspring Is generally vmore vicious and degen erate than either of the original stocks." This is true, as we all know from our own observation. It is nat ural that it should be so from the fact that such children are of neces sity born out of wedlock. Of course, there are some good colored men and women born under such coditions. But the great majority of those thus born are vicious and make bad citi zens. The white races are not going to unite with any of the blacks or dark people, and, as the Journal says, "ne groes may load themselves down with n-les and degrees from colleges, they may distinguish themselves In art and literature, but all that will not give complete social recognition in the humblest home of a self-respect ing white family. This is not a con dition imposed by the white races, but It is aloug the line on which God has been working all these centuries. This we say with all due respect to the many negroeB who are leading correct lives and who are truthful and honest in all business affairs. It is the plain teaching of six thousand years of history and Booker Wash ington, the Japanese, naval officers and the Afro-American society can not reverae the divine arrangement." He Knocks at the Door. One. of the greatest paintings In the world Is Bald to be that mar velous picture of Christ as He stands knocking at the closed door, says the Greenville News. The artist who painted the canvass allowed no one to see It until it w?s completed. Just before he was to put it on exhibition he called In an Intimate friend that he might see and pass upon the work. For some moments the friend ?:tood in silence gazig at that won derful conception of Christ. There was the door, battered and scarred. Vines had covered it and closed it In. It had 'not been opened for years. The pathway was nearly obliterated, so long had It bees, since feet had passed that way. But standing at the door listening for a response, with every feature of face and figure be seeching for an answer, stood the Christ, knocking, knocking, knocking at the door that was closed. The friend's eyes filled with tears as he gazed ou the graphic scene. Suddenly he started back as if in fear. Astonishment, amazement, alarm wert- written on his face. "0, he said, "I am glad that I saw It j first. You have made a terrible mis i take. You have made an awful blun ! der. Why man, your door?your j doer can not be opened. It has no handle. You have forgotten the handle." The artist smiled and shook his head. "Nd," he said, that is alright, I thought of that. The hr-.n^le is on the inside, the handle is on the inside.' If thero are any today standing before a closed door in the valley of I trouble, let them take this message: ;The handle !s ou the inside. The I dcor may be closed, may be locked, cn your side and you have the key. Jesus, the Savior of men, has drawn the hard bolts. He is waiting, knock ing for you lo or?en and let Him in. Throw wide that door and the valley of trouble shall become a highway to the land of promise, both now and in the life to come. Christmas Shopping. A trip throvgh tho shopping dis trict of tho city and a glance at the attractive show windows must con vince individuals that the merchants are quite prepared to supply the needs of holiday buyers earlier this season than in seasons pas .
