' Eemittances should be made by reg? btered letter, check, money order oi express order, payable to The Times and Democrat, Orangeburg, S. C. , ; The Christmas fires are getting In ? their deadly work this year - for a surety. . \ It has been rather an able-bodied winter thus far, even as the sign men predicted. But, says the Char-J lotte Observer, since these prophets make the same predictions every fall, j they are bound to be vindicated oc- i caslonaily. As an outcome of the agricultural conference the Federation Associa-. tloa of Agricultural clubs has been orgalnzed, and every agricultural as-j ! sociation in the state will be asked to affiliate. The next meeting will be j hold hi January, probably in* Athens. . Clarence MSckey hits the nail on the head, when he says that the com petition between the Western Union and the Postal telegraph companies must be kept up, and that the only alternative to that competition is federal ownership. It will come to that eventually. .Of the prices received by the farm er, Secretary Wilson says: "The! farmer receives hardly more than j half of what the consumer pays for poultry. 69 per cent, for eggs, 4S per cent, for cabba?e, 60 per cent, for celery." The middleman gets the bal ance. A Pittsburg man dreamed about Santa Clausa and becoming involved in a difficulty with hU dream-visitor, tumbled around his room until he had to be sent to the hospital tor repairs. We suppose that commit ting assault and battery will consti tute an absolute proof of the One old f/ellow's existence. "It seems to me that nothing could be a better augury of the fu-J ture or this country," says Ex-Pres-( ideni Roosevelt, "than tnat a Repub-? llcan President should appoint an ..Ex-Confederate of the opposite pollt- j teal faith Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court and receive the' unanimous applause of his coun trymen." . The Norfolk Virginian Pilot says: "As to whether North Carolina or South Carolina leads In corn-grow ing, we do not undertake to say; but j when ft comes to consuming the cer eal in liquid foru, the Palmetto .'Commonwealth isn't ace high to its neighbor on the north." Don't know j so much about that, if the Christmas booze consumed is taken into consid eration. All this talk coming from Wash ington about the defenceless condl-1 tlon of the country should it be ln-j vaded by a foreign? enemy 13 Intend-; ed to pave the way for a larger I standing army and the expenditure . of millions of dollars for warlike preparations. We do not need eith er, and we do net believe that the people will be scared into favoring any such.schemes. ?' The Columbia State of Sunday had an intensely Interesting and com plete write-up of a brief, but most Important era in ?outh Carolina's history. As we read it our mind went back to the beginning of the war, as we saw it as a school boy | In Charleston. We shall never for get the stirring events so well por trayed in the columns of last Sun day's State. The man in one of the western cities who compelled his erring wife to creep on hands and kuees from his house to church, a distance of sev-1 oral blocks, before he would forgive her must, we hope, stand alone in j .cruel meanness. It was but right j that his wife should express her con-; trltion, but to compel her to creep on i a."1! fours, sobbing her heart out, to be a spectacle for a gapintr. curious crowd was an excess of brutality al most unimaginable. *., It is announced that Champ Clark and other democratic leaders have decided not to retain to the speaker of the new house the power of ap- j pointing the committees, as was ad-; vocated by all the South Carolina j members except Mr. Johnson who stands for having the committees1 named by ihe house itself. The Spar tanburg Journal says to do so would have been absolutely inconsistent and undemocratic, but considerations of this sort did not seem to appeal to the South Carolina members men tioned. The Spartanburg Journal says: I "The release of Jones, the slayer of Pearlstine. in Orangeburg county, under bond of $3.000, shows that measures are already under way to defeat justice in this case. Under the constitution Jones has no right to bail In any sum." Let us wait anl get all the facts of the incidents | leading up to the killing iu this case' before entering judgment. We have heard some people who claim to know all the facts justify Jones. These facts will be known to the public sooner or later, and then we can julge. I f. A Proper Verdict. In commenting on the verdict in the merger crse, the Columbia Re cord says "the general assembly of South Carolina authorized the South ern railway to take over certain lines of independent railroad in this State. Later, the constitutionality of this act being called into question, the general assembly instructed the at torney general to brin-i an action to test the "merger" act. The attorney general, after several years, succeed ed in getting the case before a jur>, presenting the facts and the law bearing on the case. The jury has decided that the merger was legal and proper. That the supreme court, to which the attorney general will ab a matter of course take an appeal, will sustain the rulings of Judge Shlpp- and the findings of the jury there is little reason to doubt. "The verdict of the jury is In ac cordance with the common-sense view of the case. As to the techinal points involved we are not, perhaps, in position, to pass judgment, but the rulings of the court were favorable to the defendant, which Is evidence that the law as well as facts and jus tice were against the contention of the State. "It is not to be disputed that the best interests of the State of South Carolina, especially the communities affected directly, and the develop ment of the lines of railroad in ques tion, will best be served by the con trol of these ? lines by the Southern rallwa)'. Great Improvements in ser vice and equipment have necessarily been made by the Southern dur..;g its tentative control, and since the dispute Is now settled In favor of the railroad it i3 inevitable that for Its own selfish business ends the South ern shall devote its efforts to an up building of those particular branches of its system. The ^Southern now owes this to its own commercial self reupect, owes it to the State of South Carolina and to the communities in terested. Having contended that Its ownership of these lines will redound to the advantage of all concerned, and that contention having been sus tained in a court of justice, the case Is; to use a colliqulallsm, squarely up to the Southern. "It man be confidenly predicted that this policy will be pursued un der the enlightened management of President Finley, who has shown b'.mself keenly concerne1i for the j welfare of this State and this section no less than for the great railway system of which he is the head."" Should Stand Together. The Washington correspondent" of the Journal says according to the tentative agreement. of the Demo cratic leaders of the present house, the ways and means committee of the next congress, besides drafting a tariff bill, will also act as a commit tee on committees, to assign all oth er members of the house to their re spective committee places. It is pro posed to adopt this scheme of organ ization at the Democratic caucus to be held on January 19. All of the members-elect of the next houBC will participate in this caucus. It :is stated that the leaders plan to me.ke war on th forty-two Demo crats of the present congress who voted for a duty on lumber, when this schedule was, under considera tion In the house. It Is planned to punish these Democrats by denying them fair consideration in'the assign ment of committee places. These men have been classed as undesira bles by some of the leaders, who want to keep them off all important committees when the House Is re organized by the Democrats next year. The Times and Democrat hopes that no such action will be taken, as a prescriptive policy like the one pro posed, woul? cause friction In the party when we need harmony and good will. The men who these lead ers wish to prescribe were excused by their constituents and Bent back to congress, and all of them, with the exception possibly of these from Louisiana, are now ready to vote for any reform of the tariff that a ma jority of the Democrats in congress decile on. In other words, there should lie a general amnesty all around, and all men elected a3 Democrats Rhould be treated exactly alike, unless they do something when the next congress meets to exclude them from the par ty councils. Then they should be disciplined, not for what they did prior to the last election, but for what they do since the last election. The party has .brivht prospects for a grand victory In 1912. and that pros pect should not be blighted by dis cord in our ranks. Let us stand to gether and pull for a grand, glorious victory. Humanity Demands It. Strikes and lockouts are a barbar ism which very rarely may be excus able but which should never be re ported to until every other method of adjustment has been tried. In the lore run most of these disrfhtes are settled by arbitration, and the average man wonders why this could not have been done at the begin ning instead of the end and thereby considernblo interruption to business and untold suffering prevented. The dispute between the garment workers and their emplovers in Chi caco is one of the worst in recent years. Public opinion and symr-athy in the matter may to same ex;ent be divided, but anyone who knows any-! thing about sweat shop conditions, | the avnrice of the men who are re-1 Eponsiblo for those conditions and | the cruel advantages so often taken I of immigrant women and girls ignor ant of these conditions, may well !? iieve th^.t ihe workers have much cai'se for comnhint. But the saddest thine of all is the suffering of Innocent members of the families involve!. In the homes or the strikers impoverished by weeks of idleness five hundred children have been born since the trouble be gan. The thought of those infants coming Into the world at such a time and the wretchedness, suffering and Borrow it 311 means arouses the sym pathy and ilndignation of every lover of his kind. We read with horror of the slaughter of the infants in the little town of Bethlehem 1900 years ago, and yet in this Christmas season of peace and goodwill, infanta are b'lng slaughtered in the homes of Chicago because people will not . 9 to what is fair in wages. Humanity and juatice ought to find someway of ending it without delay.
