The Sparianburg Street Car Com pany is clearly in the wrong in the quarrel with its employees, and we hope it will lese its fight. "He that giveth to the poor lend eth to the Juord." Some zealous Christians evidently don't believe this, if we judge them by, what they do for the poor. Mayor Sain starts out well, and if he keeps up that gait his administra tion of the city affairs will be a great success.

Br;pan, under the auspices of the Nebraska democratic state com mittee, will, spend three weeks mak ing campaign speeches for the demo cratic state ticket, beginning Octobr er 5. Thai: don't look like Bryan is politically dead in Nebraska as some newspapers claim. The failure of the Blnford woman to meet.encouragement from and the refusal of a vaudeville manager to carry out his agreement to exploit the young woman who had gained an unenviable notoriety as the "woman In the case? in a celebrated trial for murder is one of the best proofs of the reality of the healthy moral sense held ;by poople generally. No doubt the closeness of the vote in Maine on the resubmission of the prohibitory law is unsatisfactory to ?both sides, but more especially to the prohibition forces because they have failed of their object. As the law will now remain a part of the consi tution a iihort time longer its sup porters , should see to it that it is more vigorously enforced. Recently both the Southern Rail way and the Atlantic Coast Line Railway arbitrated threatened trou ble with some of their employees, and settled the differences satisfac torily to all parties, and in this way avoided a lockout. We commend the sensible 'Course of these great cor porations to the management of the Street Car Company at Spartanburg. The Winnipeg Tribune says ' "It Is interesting to observe that the very nation which rejected Bryan as a can didate for the presidency is coming to regard the ideas for which he stood a3 desirable. Save for his fatuous advocacy of the free silver Mr. Bryan has stood, ior few propositions which are not coming into popular favor." Yet some so-called Democratic news papers speak of Bryan as the wreck er of the Democratic party. i The opposition to the prohibition law in Ms.lne was not confined to the advocates of saloons but embraced many tem perance men who are prohi bitionists in principle, but who felt that the present law was not enforc ed in the larger cities and that there was no disposition to enforce it. Therefor:* they felt that a good coun ty option law would be more effec tive. Certainly there is no evidence that the opposition to the saloon in Maine is less than it ever was. In opposing the recall in the recent governor's convention, Governor O'Neal, of Oklahoma, spoke of "the caprice of the majority," and added that "when you establish an arbi trary recall of judges you have in stituted mob law in this country." "Don't you all forget that the caprice of a majority gave you all your jobs," broke in Governor Gilchrist of Flori da, in a soft southern drawl, and for the moment there was peace that fol lowed the laugh from the two hun dred me a and women in the audience. Abusing an opponent and calling him hard names are not argument. So far f rom being argument or giving strength to the party or cause in whose behalf they are used but prove weakness. When reforms are urged that politics may be made purer or businessi life more righteous those who advocate the reforms are sure to be branded as traitors, socialists, disturbers, and what not. That has always been the case and always will be, but the ultimate effect is injury to the wrongdoers and not to the cause of purity. England is facing an industrial rev olution, which is simply a reasonable demand for a reasonable wage. It is the plea of the laborer for a more eqi table arrangement between master and men. They have seen the nobili ty and capitalists reveling in wealth, enjoying every luxury, and, with few exceptions, indifferent to the wants of the masses have been receiving, especially in some industries, a mere pittance each week scarcely suffici ent to hold body and soul together. The edict has gone forth that such an intolerable condition must cease. Hold for Better Prices, The fight of the farmers to get a fair price for his cotton should be made the fight of every one who is Interested in the prosperity of the South. It is not strange, than, that so many prominent men are ready and willing to help the farmer in his fight. Governor Hoke Smith wants the farmers of Georgia to hc,d back their cotton and market it gradually not sacrificing by flooding tue mar ket this early in the season. He figures that every cent per pound added to the price of cotton means 160,000,000 to the South. To help tl$5 Farmers' Union in its campaign of education, wherein sev eral speakers will be put in the field to explain to the farmers the advan tage of holding their cotton for a 15 cents market, Governor Smith gave his check for $100 to John T. McDan iel, secretary of the Georgia Farmers' Union. Mr. McDaniel called on the governor to thank him for a letter written to Governor O'Neal, of Ala bama, on the occasion of the cotton congress last week, wherein he point ed out the necessity of holding the cotton crop and marketing it grad ually. In expressing his views o& the cot ton situation, Governor Smith said he believe. I ;hat all the citizen:) will be benefitted by the fanners not sacri ficing their cotton, and as he very cordially approved the work of the Farmers' Union in this regard, he was glad to contribute a little to wards the expense of their campaign. He said he felt that the work the farmers were doing is for the bene fit of all of us and not simply for themselves and he had not. a doubt that cotton is worth more than the present price it is bringing. What Smith says applies to all in every part of the South. He says, "I am confident that while the crop will be a good one, the present price is fixed in Liverpool on the basis that the present crop is a bumper crop. I heard men in New York during the past ten days admit that the present price was fixed upon the idea that the crop would run to over fourteen million bales. I can under stand how this mistake has been made. Sixty days ago it looked like the biggest crop the South has ever had. 1 have no doubt that cotton in Georgia went off 25 per cent, since that time, and I really believe that the present price of cotton is fixed up/on the idea that the amount raised will be from 20to 30 per cent, above the actual crop. "If it was today conceded that the crop would not exceed thirteen mil lion bales, cotton would be selling at ! fourteen cents, I never felt more cer tain that cotton will sell higher later on, I would like to see the farmers receive when they seil? its full value, and even outside of farmers I would like to see our state and our section receive its full value. A loss of one per cent per pound means $60,000. 0C0 loss to the South. I am sure it is selling several cents per pound less than it is worth. Two cents per pound more even would mean $120, 000,000 to the South. I hate to see our section lose the money." - The Boy and His Opinions. In the "Woman's Home Companion -for September a writer on "The Boy and His Opinions." reports a case that contains valuable lessons for ,both boys and mothers. "My son," a mother said, with, perhaps a note of amused irritation in her voice, to the spruce college-boy, who had questioned the wisdom of one of her actions, "you must understand once for all that I do not wish to have you criticise me on any subject whatso ever." The lad opened wide'his eyes, and asked, "do you mean I am never to I tell you when you do a thing I think isn't right." "I mean just that," replied the mother. "For a number of years I have conducted my affairs with tolerable success without the benefit of your criticism, and I have faith to believe I can keep on doing it. Of course, you will criticise me , in your own mind; that is quite nat ural and I take it for granted; but I don't wish to hear your critcism unless I ask for it." Of course the boy did not like it, but he respected his mother too much to show any evidence of that fact. The writer in the Woman's Home Companion says he admired the mother for having given the boy the advice she did, and goes on to say that no essential part of reaching a boy to think for himself is served by ' permitting him to find fault with his 1 parents. As the mother 'jald he is likely to criticise mentally the con duct and demeanor of his parents, to look down upon their beliefs and theories and flatter himse).? he could manage most of their affairs far bet ter than they themselves do. All this is in a way a part of the boy's training in learning to think and act for himself, and the fact that he will probably discard most of his experimental theories, which his par- - ents had tested and thrown aside in ] their younger days, and come around eventually to the codes oi. his father and mother, does not make the edu cational value of the earlier process any less. But there is no gain for him in the public expression of his adverse opinions, and the self-con trol involved in their repression is good for his soul. In all other lines, however, en courage your children to air their views. Perhaps this might not be so desirable if they were likely not to ;be your views as well as his. But the wandering seeds of opinion to which I have already referred will ' grow in the soil you have cultivated and you will be able to advise him which are weeds to be rooted out, and which are useful growths; to be tend ed and fostered. Remember that some day your boys and girls will have to do all their own thinking. Trying to Mend His Fences. President Taft is now out West on a political junket trying to mend his fences and induce the Insurgent Re publicans to return to the fold. No one, whatever his politics, will be grudge him a good time in his swing around the circle. Party loyalty is not usually allowed to conflict with that good humor and sense of fair ness so characteristic of Americans and therefore however divergent may be the views as to the policy of such a trip and the results to flow from it the President will invariably meet with courtesy and respect and be fol lowed with the ibest wishes for all the personal enjoyment he can get out of his long itinerary. Whether it is or is not the wis est course for a president to engage In what is virtually a campaign for renominatlon, will, of course', be vart lously estimated. Biut anyway It seems now to be the fashion, and for that matter many, if not most of the presidents, have at some time dur ing their term of office traveled ex tensively to meet the people and jus tify their own administration. ' It is difficult to judge as to the value of such itineraries because so much depends upon the personality of those who make them and of the political conditions at the time they are made With President Taft the uncertain ty is all the greater becauso of the very peculiar conditions existing in both great political parties and the fact that the greater part of his jour ney will be through "the enemy's" country. It will require great tact and wisdom under such circumstan ces to avoid making some fatal mis take of speech or act. Of course Mr. Taft's supporters will hope that this may be avoided and that great bene fit may result to him and his cause. As for his opponents their wishes will naturally be of an opposite character. But all that feling is political only and apart from that all citizens will join in wishing the first citizen of the country a pleasant and safe jour ney.
