If Charleston had given the Edlsto j project her sincere support there j .- ?..? would be no doubt of Its going through. ., . If the Edlsto project fails It will not be any fault of (Mr; Lever. He ><? ' bas-b^en on the job ever since It was propc?ed, and is still on iL We hope ':'' he will yet win; Teddy has climbed back on the itandpat Republican band-wagon by praising President Taft in a public speech. The Democratic landslide seems to have sobered the great blus-, terer. Those people who are trying to read William Jennings Bryan out of Che Democratic party seem to lose Bight of the fj.ct that the party would be doomed to defeat if they succeed- j ed in their efforts. The first bs.ttle of Manassas. where the green troops of the South de- j feated almost twice their number,: balf of whom were socalled soasoaeQ . regulars, de>monstrated the fact that1 we dc not need a large standing army to defend our country from foreign Invaders. I The reports from Washington about the defenceless condition of the country will make cold chills creep up the backs of the New Eng landers, who are always scared to death by war rumors, hut tbey will hardly affect the people of any other sectira of the country. * The German Government has put a tax of one dollar per ton on potash, which is used largely by Southern Cancers. This will cost our farmers q gcod many dollars, and we would like to see the tax taken off, but as our government taxes a good many German made goods we fear there is no chance for that In. making Associate Justice White ?Of the Unltedl States Supreme Court, ?Chief Justlco of that tribunal. Pres ident Taft gives tc the (South the Exighest national honor conferred on this section since the close of the ?Civil war. If the South can furnish <a chief justice for the nation's high ?st court, why can't it furnish the nation with a president?. Chief Justice White was one of the "fossilized" justices of the United States Supreme Court whom Mr. Roosevelt rebuked for the de cision in the Knjght case. Yet at e. big dinner the other night Teddy toasted the President for making Justice White Chief Justice, and then -<eai<tM Chief Justice White himself. Could" anything be more Rooseveltlan than that!.^ It was heralded nil over the coun try just before the election' that President Taft had appointed a Bos ton negro to a very important office In Washington. Now It is intimated, that his nomination will be with-j drawn, as the office to which ho was' appointed will be unnecessary after j the present incumbent serves his j time oiiL At least that Is what i Ctacle Joo Cannon says. Nearly all the fine colored po3t- j cards eseri In this country up to a ' few months ago were raa'e in-Gcr-l many, but the duty imposed on th^m by the now tariff Jaw now shuts them out. and dealers are now com pelled to nay a higher price for iu-; ferior cards made In thte country, i Possibly tti:s la one of the reasons why Germany has put a one dollar p\;r ton fax on potash. In putting a tax on potash of one dollar per ton. Germany Ib giving the United Slates BQuie of its own medi clr^i. The only trouble about the tax Is that It falls principally on the farmers of the South, who suffer a3 much as the Germans do from the Operations of the tariff on which they are retaliating by putting this tax on potash. Thus it Is the farmers are robbed coming and a-going. Bryan is right In contending that, the reorganization of the Democratic party now 3hould not be entrusted to the socalled Democrats who'helped to elect Taft two years ago. The Baltimore 3un was a stron? sup porter of the Republican ticket In 1508. but it now wants to take ?Charge- and direct the Democratic ?oampalgn. We welcome back to the fold all erring Democrats, but wo *re opposed to putting them in ?Charge of the vital Interests of the oarty. Senator La Folette. the great In surgent Republican, gave out when ho reached Washington the other day that he had been operated on during the recess and cured of a trouble that had impaired his activ ities. When Crane, the standpat Re publican Senator from Massachu setts heard this, he threw up his hands and exclaimed: "Good Lord! If La Pollette was sick all the time Jie was kicking up those rumpuses In the Senate the past three years, what are we to expect now that he is ? New Cotton Compress. . The world's progress during the past two centuries has been largely a history of labor-saving and time saylng Inventions, says the Atlanta Journal. To this wonderful record another chapter has bean added by the perfection of a cotton compress that reduces the size, improves the quality and greatly economizes the transportation cost of the cotton bale. It is called the-Neely com press and, according to every indica tion, it means higher industrial ad vancement for all the south. A full description of this press was pub lished In The Times and Democrat several months ago. Perhaps the most signal gain made by t'-is invention lies in the fact that it does away with recompress ing. Under the old system the far mer's wagon load of cotton must be hauled to a ginnery, waence after it had been ginned and loosely packed, it must be shipped by rail to a steam I compress, frequently over a long dis I tance, to .be compressed again. Then it must take still another trip to the port. But under the Neely sys tem, the wagon load of cotton- is compressed at the ginnery itself. It comes forth ready for shipment to^ the remotest point In the world.' This, it is estimated, means a saving of not less than $5 to the bale for the cost of recompressing and re handling is wiped out, while the cost of rail freight, marine freight, bag- j ging, tare and many other ItemB is greatly reduced. I I In addition to this the new ginnery j compress vastly improves the pack age in which cotton is shipped from the south. For long years the Amer ican cotton bale has been a sore vex ation to the foreign market. At the' International Cotton congress, held i some years ago at Manchester, Eng land, it was declared: "The Eng lish, French and German vocabu i laries have been ransacked in vain j for words strong enough to de jnounce the American bale.'' i The new ginnery compres3 satis j flies this very need. The bale it turns jOut is rectangular In form and meas ures eighteen by thirty by fifty inches. With a density i of thirty pounds per cubic foot, it is so com j pressed that the bala Is freed from air .thus becoming well nigh imper vious to fire and water and proof! jazainst the wear of transportation.! It can girdle the globe and still be I in prime condition. Such a system j means money saved for the farmer, j the ginner, the carrier, the insurance companies and for the spinner. It is of local interest to note that this mechanism is the Invention of a southern man, Mr. Samuel M. Neely, of Chester, S. C. What the Farm Does. In his annual report Secretary of Agriculture Wilson- says "nothing short of omniscience can grasp the value /of the farm products pf this year. At no time in the world's his tory has a country produced farm products within. ono year with a value reaching $8,926,000,000, which is the value of the agricultural pro> ducts of this country for 1910. This amount is larger than that of "1909 [by $305,000,000, an amount of in I crease over the preceding year which [is small for the more recent years. I The value of farm products fvcrj [lS99 to the present year has been [progressive without interruption. If the value of that census year be re garded as 100, the value of the agri cultural products of 1900 was 106.4; that of 1901 was 112.7; that of 1902 I was-119.1; that of 1903 was 124.8; [that of 1904 was 129.8; and that of j 1905 was 133. "The year 190G was an extraordi nary one for*5 agriculture, both in quantity and inj value of production. [The value increased to 1*43.4, as i compared with 100 representing 1899. In the next year, 1907, the value of agricultural products rosa to 158.7; In the next year, 1 908, to 167.3; in 1909 to 1S2.8: and in 1910 tc 189.2, or almost double the value of the crops of the census year eleven years preceding. During this period of unexampled agricultural produc tion, a period of twelve years dur ing which the farmers of this coun try have steadily advanced In pros perity, in wealth and in economic I indenendence. in intelligence and a j knowledge of agriculture, the total value of farm products is $79,000, 000.000." Think of it. The farmers of this country in the last eleven years have added Beventy-nine billion dollars to its wealth. Can you grasp these figures? Remember that this im mense sum of money values was absolutely produced by the farmers in the last eleven years. In other words, in the last eleven years the farmers of the United States have created seventy-nine billion dollars where not a cent existed before. Has the United States any more valuable asset than Its fanners? Ought not the government to protect this val uable asset, instead ?f holding up the farmers who constitute it by the tariff law to be plundered of two bii ; lion dollars each yenr by the trusts, ? .and other plundering schemes, such as the protection of socalled infant 'industries and other pet Institutions? t It 6eems so to us. Tariff For Revenue. No deflnlto plan of tariff revision ?was arrived at at the conference in Washington Wednesday night be tween tho Democratic members of the ways and means committee, the Democratic members of the Ken tucky delegation, Georgo Harvey of New York and Henry Watterson, ac cording to a statement issued by Mr. Watterson Wednesday night. "Some brushwood was cot out of the way and a clearing made in the labyrinth of confusion and misun derstanding which always guard the approaches to the robber ca3tle of protectionism." said Mr. Watterson. Ho de^-nred that "the principal of revenue opposed to the principle of protection as the bedrock of what ever plan the ways and means com mittee of the house would adopt" was the general idea of those pres ent at the meeting-. He Eaii that tentative committee on ways and mems so:m would confer with the. newly elected members of the house a^d the work of collecting data, which "can not .be obtained by the government and mu3t be relegated to experts employed for the pur pose" would be begun at once. Advance the Colora. We take the following from the last issue of The Commoner, owned and edited by William J. Bryan: Believing that democrats do not desire to engage in a sham battle The Commoner confidently lays down these propositions: The democratic party must be progressive. 1 "No Wa!ll Street candidate can hope to hold the democratic vote. Democracy must go forward and meet present day problems boldly In the spirit of Jefferson and Jackson. The democratic victory of 1910 Is the result of fourteen years of democratic fight fer reforms. The party cannot retire now. It must go forward. We heartily agree with all Mr. Bryan says above. It would be sui cidal for the Democratic party to adopt any other course in the next canwjaljn. The people have turned to the Democratic party for relief, and if the party fails them now, it deserves and will be disastrously de feated. Advance the colors to the firing line, and let every Democrat rally to them, and victory is sure. Notice of Discharge.
