C, by registered let ter, clieck or money order. The Times and Democrat is per fectly willing to trust the people to elect 3chool trustees. The schools belong to the people, and they have Sense enough to manage them. " ? After being at the Tillman Volun teer's picnic all day Friday, Senator Tillman went down the street Friday night and listened to the music at the band concert. This shows that the Senator has considerable reserve strength. Nev York, Boston, and other Nor thern cities, that got so panicky dur ing the Spanish-American war, feel very much assured since Gen. Wood has assured them that the big guns <mouned on their forts could sink any floet that attempted to enter their harbors. Ser ator Piaynter, who has just quit the rt.ce for re-election in Kentucky, is a follower of Senator Bailey; he voted for Lorimer; he was a candi date ior re-election. He retired from the rice before the primary. It is thoucht Bailey will meet a similar fate ia Texas. Th'> statement of the State Board of Education in reference to the book adoption, which we publish on the ?first page, gives a different view to the natter. In fact, it looks to us like t knocks State Superintendent, of Education Swearingeh out of the box. Read the statement. * The concensus of opinion among the people is that eighteen hundred dollars for nine months work is a fine salary for the superinteudent of the schools of this city. When we take into consideration that the par ents of two-thirds of the children who attend the schools do not receive one half that amount for a whole year's work we fully agree with the people.* W? believe it is the desire of a large* majority of the people of South Carolina that Senator Tillman re main in the United States Senate un ' til he sees fit to retire. That being the case, those gentlemen who have a long ng eye on Ms seat may as well curb their ambition, because the Sen ator is going to be re-elected whether he actively enters the campaign next year or not ! A proposition to elect the trustees of the graded school by ballot In stead of the present plan, has been commended on all sides. One man said he was tired of having those personally interested in the matter picking out the trustees thev wanted elected and then ramming them down the throats of the people in a cut and dried meeting, and that the change could not come too soon for the ben efit of the schools. * As compared with the other book contracts, we consider the one recent ly adopted by the State Board of Ed ucation as most advantageous to the people in the long run. The fact tha: some of the books adopted cost a little more than the ones they dis place is no proof that the people wili loose money by the change. Some of the old books displaced were very poorly bound, and* should never have been adopted. The people who had to buy them know this, and they will welcome a better book, even if the first cost is a few cents more, as the higher priced book will be the cheapest in the long run. While all this fuss is being made ovtr the school book adoption, we would advise the people to keep their eyes on a bill that was introduced in the Legislature last winter, which has the endorsement of State Super intendent of Education Swearingen. Should that bill become a law the people would have no more to say about tteir schools than the man In the moon. It lodges all authority In the State Superintendent's hands, who would appoint all school officials frcm the highest to the lowest. This is one of the most centralizing meas ures ever proposed in South Carolina, and we would advise the people to se>> that it does not become a law. State Superintendent of Education Svearingon poses as an economist in ths adoption of school books, yet he wiirmly advocates the adoption of a sciool law for South Carolina that would entail thousands of dollars of additional expense each year on the people, and at the same time take all voice in the management of the schools out of their hands. The pro posed lav,- jreates several new offi cers at high salaries, and raises the salaries of all existing officers. Un der it the people would have to pay a hundred thousand dollars or more etch year in addition to what they now pay to the supervlsary schooi oficials. Besides all this, the law vir tually makes the State Superinten dent of Education a dictator so far as; all school matters are concerned. All school officials, from the highest to the lowest, are appointed by him <??? those he appoints, and are there fore under his control. i A Republican on Bryanism. "When Bryan began running for president he was an impossible can date, although none of us thought so during the first half of that memora ble 1896 campaign," 3ays the Sioux City Journal, a strong Republican paper. "The country had been in the habit of looking to a third party for such radicalism as Bryan then induc ed the democratic party to stand for. Business was thoroughly freighton ed when it found one of the two great parties taking up the theories of populism. It administered to the Bryan leadership an emphatic and comprehensive rebuke. The defeat did not, however,* kill Bryan or his influence with the democratic party. "He was back at the front again, in 1900 and again the fear of bis rad icalism worked his undoing. The pass ing of Bryan was duly recorded, and it was cheerfully assv.med thaf'Bry anism," as it was then called, was dead for all time. Bui. Bryan was not dead. He slept through the cam paign of 1904, when his party again took th e conservative side of the street, but that year the country went radical by a large majority, to the profit of Roosevelt By that time the seeds of radicalism planted by Bryan were beginning to put forth blossoms. Roosevelt saw it, and Bryan saw it. "Looking back one is inclined to marvel that Bryan was not elected in 1908. Evidently he was defeated partly through force of habit and partly because of confusion in the minds of the voters. The public got Taft and Roosevelt mixed. Roose velt had stirred up A great wave of enthusiasm for the Bryan policies. Taft was offered as the Roosevelt candidate. Taft was a natural con servative, or at most a moderate. The republican platform in the main was conservative. In spite- of the fact that Bryan, the original radical, was bid ding for votes on a really radical democratic platform, a good share of the radical vote went trailing after the Roosevelt .band. 'Bryan had been sure of election. He was dazed over the outcome, and in the light of af ter events it really was amusing. "No sooner had Taft assumed the Presidency than .the country began clamoring that he f.ct just as Bryan would have been expected to act. The country demanded, not the tar iff revision promised in the republi can platform, but the kind promised by Bryan. Taft tried to get through a national railroad regulation meab ure, ,but the radioals would have none of it. They wanted such a measure as Bryan would have ap proved. Presently all the progres sive magazine and newspapers were criticising Taft. jJven his sponsor, Roosevelt turned his back against him. Why? Because Taft was not radical enough?because, in other words, he was not like Bryan. The radicals in the republican party split away from the Taft leadership and voted with Bryan's party in Congress. The republican party in many states fell into a state of disorganization that made democratic victory last fall. There was every indication that the criticism of Taft had popular sympathy. What did this mean ex cept that this country had made a mistake in electing Taft instead of Bryan, the real radical? "Since the ferment Taft has been trying to make himself more radical. Hie has succeeded only indifferently. He will be renoninated next year, and will be supported hy the conser vative element. With this as near to a political certainty as anything can well be in politic* a year in advance of its occurrence, the democratic par ty is looking for & sure enough radi cal to oppose Taf.. If it can get the right man It confidently believes he can ,be elected over Taft by as large a majority as Taft had over Bryan in the confused campaign of 1908. The talk now is that Wood row Wilson is the right man it he can secure the endorsement of Bryan. Wilson Is a former conservative who turned radical after radicalism had been made fashionablo through the inia tive of Boryan. "Here again ws are up against the proposition that Bryan has been thrice nominated and thrice defeated. But his first two defeats were due to the fact that he was running at the wrong time. His radicalism was far ahead of the public temper. His last defeat was a mistake on the part of the public ra.'.her than a mistake in nominating Tryan. In 1908 the public did not realize how radi cal it was. But now the times have caught up with Bryan. The atmos phere has cleared. The seed Bryan sowed is bearing fruit. Folks eat it eagerly when offered by Roosevelt or La Follette or Wilson or Champ Clark. They berate Taft .because he doesn't give them more of it. They Insist that nothing shall prevent them from having a real radical for Presi dent after 1912." Habit of Saving. The advice given to its employes by one of the leading railroads to cul tivate the habit of saving by setting apart a small sum of money each day Is commendable. While the condi tions of life in this country may not call for such minute economy as Is necessary In European countries, there Is. after all, a great need of thrift. Americans are a spendthrift people and oftentimes the results are disastrous. Much poverty and distress and many a domestic tragedy would b."> prevented ii' families were more economical. The pendulum swings in business just a:> in other things, and I the extreme of prosperity is Invari I nbly followed sooner or later by a reaction. Ther., when it is too late, many people lament and suffer be cause they did not save when it was within their power. Coming Democratic Leader. The Washington correspondent oi the Springfield Republican, a most discriminating observer of national politics, declare; that in the impromp tus debate recently, on the Gore mo tion to instrucr. the finance commit tee to repoit promptly the wool and free list bills, Senator John Sharjj Williams easily carried off the hon cts and gave promise of becoming the real, if not the nominal, Demo cratic leader in the senate. The Co lumbia Record says "a careful read ing of the debate as reported in the Congressional Record will convince one that this estimate of the Mis sissippi senator's effort and ability is not over enthusiastic. The usual ly dry pages of the official record have not in recent years contained many, if any, as delightfully satirical and yet logical dissections of a subject as Senator Williams' analysis of pro* tection. His is a master mind; he possesses a remarkable faculty of analysis and his wide familiarity with the best literature is drawn upon for the embellishment of whatever he bus to say. In the senate he shoula fad an arena much more suited than the house to his Btyle of debate." OASSIHED COIDMN One-half Cent a Word Found Notices Free. For Sale?Two cheap mules. See R. J.

Trustees, _j The Times and Democrat has sev eral hundered more subscribers than all other white papers in Orangeburg County combined. Obituary. Mrs. Elizabeth Ann Ulmer was born October 12th 1850 and departed this life April 10th 1911. She leaves behind to revere her sacred niemory a devoted and affectionate husbanu, two dutiful sons, two faithful daugh ters, and a host of relatives and friends. Mrs. Ulmer was a faithful member of the Four Holes Baptist Church, a member of the Woman's Missionary society. She was ever ready for every good word and work. Her church she loved, and for its wel fare she prayed and labored. Indeed she was loyal and true in all the re lationships of life. Her home life was a life of beautiful service and de votion to the comfort, happiness and welfare of her husband and children. Like her Lord her consuming desire was to serve, and not to be served. Like Mary of Bethany she did what she could as a devoted and loving wife and as a fond and affectionate mother, for "days and weeks she sat by the bedside of her sick and suffer ing daughter Mrs. Minnie Burke, who preceeded her only a few days to the beautiful city of God. She refused to leave her sick and suffering child by day or night, staying by her to ad minister such comfort and cheer as only a devoted and fond, mother could, and from the sick room of her sainted daughter she went to nurse the sick in the home of her sister, and returning home just before day one damp chilly night this unselfish child of God contracted a cold which soon developed into pneumonia. Al ready she was exhausted from days and weeks of constant service and anxiety and loss of sleep the end soon came, and the angels that were hov ering around bore her pure Spirit to the Paradise of God. Mrs. Ulmer's life was sacrificed in loving service to others. She fought the good fight. She was faithful unto death and now she has gone to hear from ner Mas ter's lips the welcome plaudit "Well done good and faithful servant." The funeral services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. B. M. Foreman; the church was filled to overflowing with her relatives and friends who had gathered to pay their respects to the memory of one who had made her life beautiful and sublime by the sin cerity of her heart, the sweetness of her disposition, and by unselfish con secration to her home, community and church. Her remains were ten derly laid away in the Four Holes Cemetery near the church she so de votedly loved. Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord. Let me die the death of the righteous and let my last end be like His. Not dead, not dead but only gone before to the lane, where the sun forever shines and the flowers forever bloom. Dearest loved-one thou hast left us And oiir loss we deeply feel, But 'tis God that hath bereft us; He can all our sorrow heal. Yet again we hope to meet thee When the day of life is fled, Then in Heaven with joy to greet thee Where no farewell tear is shed. One Who Knew Her. In Memorlam. Mrs. Minnie F. Boirke, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank L. Ulmer, was born March 29th, 1877 and :fell asleep in Jesus March 17th, 1911. She leaves behind a husband, Mr. C. L. Burke and four sweet little chil dren to revere her memory. While quite young she joined the Four Holes Baptist 'Church and to the day of her death she was one of its m ost faithful members. A devoted moth er, a loving wife, an affectionate daughter, and a consistent ChristSan. As a faithful Christian she let her light shine In the home, in the com munity, and in the church until the death angel came to take her to her Father's home on high. Mrs. Burke suffered a great deal during her last sickness which brought to a close her precious earthly life, but during it all she was sustained by the daily presence of her Lord. The very peace of God that passeth all under standing was in her heart. Yea her very soul was filled from day to day with the light of heaven. She realiz ed that death was but the voice of Jesus to call her to his arms. Before 6he breathed her last she called all the members of her family to her bedside and bade them all an "affec tionate "Good-bye," and tenderly and earnestly exhorted them all to meet her in Heaven, and while she thus talked, one who stood by said her face did actually shine as the face of an angel. To such a ons there is no such thing as death, but simply a change of conditions, a change of homes. The earthly for the heavenly. For we know if this earthly house of our tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God a house not made with hands, eter nal in the heavens. Servant of God well done rest from thy blest em ploy. Minnie thou was mild and lovely, Gentle as the summer breeze, Pleasant as the air of evening, When it floats among the trees. Peaceful be thy silent slumber, Peaceful in the grave so low; Thou no more wilt join our numoer, Thou no more our earthly songs shall know. A friend. Are Yonr Hose Insnred?
