The march of democracy goes on
ward, and the man that attempts to
impede it will be ground to bits.
The difference between failure and
st:cccs3 is frequently marked by wait
ing for opportunities to come by and
getting out and hustling for them.
The pcetess who mourns that men
have ceased to love, could not have
heard of the old fellow out in Mis
souri who had eight affinities
Brer Taft boasts of being a middle
roader. That, is true. He discusses
uothing out west that is calculated
to cause a political ripple between
the Republican factions.
With most .people there is some
thing in the shake of the hand and
the manner of speaking that tells
whether or not there is a. warm sym
pathetic 'heart back of it.
There are many ways to bring up
children . Some are trained up, oth
ers are dragged up, and still others
are'left to shift for themselves. How
are yours being brought up?
Many people who would shrink
from throwing their .life away by one
rash act are getting rid of it piece
meal by fast living, or neglect of
health, or by worry and overwork.
The Greenville Daily Piedmont
says the ideal husband is found only
in novels or the cemetery. That may
be all true, but Brother Booker ought
not to be letting such secrets out.
Young man, don't mistake com
tmon sense and hard work in business
?far luck. All so-called "lucky hits"
in business are in nearly every case
brought about by applied common
sense and hard work.
Whenever the relations of a man
and his conscience are strained there
fa something wrong. To enjoy life
and be able to look every man in the
face squarely, one should be on the
best terms with his conscience.
In a speech at St. Louis recently
President Taft made the remark that
"The impeachment of a few judges
at this time would be a healthy
thing." That is an admission that
the recall of judges would be a good
thing.
? The tariff protected trusts are
doubtless most beneficent things for
the fellows who get the profits from
them, but not for the consumers who
have to pay for the music. This be
ing the case, why then should they
be protected in their raid.
"Only fools are afraid of trouble
between Japan and the United
States," said Prof. Inazee Nitobe,
who is specially commissioned by the
mikado to present a message of peace
and a better understanding to the
people of the United States.
Napolean's iprOiphecy of republi
canism stalking throughout all the
world is being slowly but surely ful
filled. Yet some sc-called statesmen
iu this country have the face to prate
about the "caprice of the majority"
or "the rule of the mob." Such men
are out of date.
Dining the discussion of the reci
procity question in Canada some very
hard things were said about Presi
dent Taft and our people generally
by some of the speakers. It is well
to remember that such talk is for
campaign purposes only, and it
should not cause ill-feeling among
the people who live on either side of
the bolder.
Partisan politics at the North and
\Y? st have modified very much in
the last few years. Political bosses
cat' no longer hand over the party
vote rl a State to this or that can
didate as of yore. That was true
once m some states, but today people
think I'? never befor? and because
they (hink they are going to decide
for themselves.
President Taft laments his many
blunders: deplores the divisions in
his party which have arisen under
his reign: would rather have been
chief justice than president any
way: didn't want the latter job
from the start, but will do the best
he can to hold it down. We are sor
ry for him. and hope he will be re
lieved of his onerous duties as soon
ae possible.
The cold blooded assassination of
Stolypin. the- Russian premier recent
ly by a young Jew. has not resulted
as some feared it would in a crusade
against the Jews generally in Russia.
This self-restraint is an agreeable
surprise, and is in striking contrast
to former days when, with or with
out reacon, pograms, in which Jew
baiting, was the principal sport, were
i'requent and widespread.
'?Caprice of the Majority."
It is surprising to an old fashioned
Democratic newspaper like The
Times and Democrat, which believes
in the people and is willing to trust
-hem with all power, to hear newspa
pers claiming to be Democratic and
professing to believe in a republican
form of government like we have,
?talk of the "caprice of the majority"
and of the people being a mob. Such
newspapers, if they would confess it,
believe more strongly- in a monarchal
government, in which the people have
but little part, and where the "ca
price of the majority" is not tolerat
ed, than they do in a republican gov
ernment such as we have in this
glorious iand of ours.
There has been considerable dis
cussion of the "initiative, refundum
and recall" of late. These proposed
reforms would enlarge the powers of
the people very materially and yet
they are fought by men who have
been called to high station by the
people. Governor Mann, of Virginia,
recently said he would decline to
hold office under a system that al
lowed the recall of officials. He went
on to say, "It would reduce the office
holder to the level of a. puppet. It
would make him a reed swayed in
the wind by every breath of public
prejudice. Such a position would be
unsupportable, and ? if it ever comes
to pass in my State I shall retire
from politics. I desire to have noth
ing to do with a system."
The Anderson Mail, which we be
lieve claims to be a Democratic news
paper and a believer in a republican
form of government, gives its en
dorsement to what Gov. Mann says
and pronounces it sound doctrine.
The iNewberry Herald and News, an
other supposed Democratic newspa
per and a believer m our republican
form of government, endorses what
Gov. Mann says as well as what the
Mail sayf. about it, and says "this
sounds vary much like Gov. Mann
had been -reading The Herald and
News," and sreeringly goes on to
say, "Of course, it is good Democrat
ic doctrine. All this stuff about what
we call recall of judges is the worst
kind of political roc."
The Times and Democrat does not
agree with the Mali that it is sound
doctrine te deny the people the right
to resall a judge or any other offi
cial that fails to do his duty, nor
with the Herald ar.d News that "all
this stuff about what we call recall of
judges is the worst kind of politi
cal rot." If the people have sense
enough to elect governors, congress
men, senators, and other officials of
high and low degree, they surely
have sense enough to sustain officials
whem they do right or recall them
when they do wrong. So far as we
are concerned we would much rather
ixust the "caprice of ithe majority"
than fche "caprice of one man,"
whether he be a judge cr some other
official.
A "caprice of the majority" may
have elected Gov. Blease to the high
est office in South Carolina, but The
Herald and News would hardly claim
for that .reason that the people can
not be trusted to exercise political
authority over all officials. Neither
would The Times and Democrat. The
fact that the peonle did not do in
that case what Th e Times and Dem
ocrat would have cione, is no evidence
that the people did not do as well as
The Times and Democrat could have
done in selecting a governor. Now
then if the people of South Carolina
can elect; a governor, we fail to see
where it would "be the worst kind of
politticai rot" to discuss the propriety
of giving them the right to call down
a bad judge. The Mail and The Her
ald and News oug'it to learn to trust
the people more.
They Know What It Means.
Italian socialists who number near-,
ly a half million adult men threaten
ja national strike in case their
country goes to war with Turkey
over the possession of Tripolli. They
are made up principally of working
men manning the industries of the
nation.
In Germany the socialists threaten
similar retaliatory' measures in case
the Kaiser's advisors make {rood their
subtle threats to war with France
over dominance in Morocco.
Only two yearr. ago- thousands of
workingmen in Spain rose in riots
because of the government's waste
ful policy in the Itiff war. These in
cidents from Europe are not apt to
be duplicated in the United States.
Over there war means misery and
hardships for the workingman and
his family. The father, husband or
son is expected to leave wife and
children and place himself in front
of bullets and cannon balls. He gets
little reward for so doing. He does
not enthuse ovet the prospect.
The above from the Augusta
Chronicle is a faithful portrayal of
the conditions as they visit in the
countries named. The action of the
masses against war show that they
are in advance of the ruling classes
in those countries. The masses have
learned by bitter experience what war
means to them, and they are right to
give no.ice that they no longer wish
tc be food for powder to gratify the
wish of some king or other potentate.
Will Send Him Back.
Speaking of the senatorial situa
tion in this S-ate the New York
World editorially says: "Should Sen
ator Tiilman be re-elected he will be
almost like a ghost in the Senate.
The battles in which he took part in
his prime are all ended. The friends
that stood by him and the foes that
fought him alil-e are gone. Yet no
one would be likely to accuse the old
statesman of 'lagging superfluous on
the stage.' He has always been a
brave, stalwart fighter, and it is
doubtful if Carolina has a man who
could better fili his place." That is
about the way the people of South
Carolini look ac it, and it is for that
reason that they will send him back
almost unanimously.
What True democracy Means.
Here is a definition of true de
mocracy given by Senator Allen of
Ohio sixty years ago a.t a banquet
that is worth preserving. "Democ
racy," said SenaCor William Allen,"
is a sentiment not to be appalled,
corrupted, or compromised. It knows
no baseness, it cowers at no dangers,
it opposes no weakness. Fearless,
generous, and human, it rebukes the
arrogant, cherishes honor, and sym
pathises with the humble. Destruc
tive only of despotism, it is the sole
conservitor of liberty, labor and prop
erty. It is the sentiment of freedom,
eattal rights and equal obligations.
The stupid, selfish, and.the base in
spirit may denounce it as a vulgar
thing, in the history of our race the
democratic spirit has developed and
illustrated the highest moral and in
tellectual attributes cf our nature."

"THE STAK SPANGLED BANNER"
We are shown the spirit of the
time of 1S12, and here we are intro
duced to Dr. Beanes and his family;
their friendship for the loyal young"
Key, and the doctor's sympathy for
the wounded and sick; the humil
iation and insult in his own house,
and eventually his capture by the
British soldiers. We also see Key.'s
prompt action in arranging to se
cure his release through the help of
President Madison.
.From there the story carries us to
ris rival on the British battleship,
and the release and exchange granted
to Dr. Beanes, who is held there a
prisoner, and shows ns why Francis
Scott Key was on board the ship a
prisoner during the bombardment of
Fort Mcllenry, which takes us to the
inspired moment when Key first
wrote his wonderful first and second
verses of the Star Spangled Banner
on the back of an old envelope. We
are also shown the following day,
when the Star Spangled Banner was
sung for the first time, in an old tav
ern, where, one Ferdinand Durang,
mounted on a table, sang the soul
inspiring strain and words that
caught the enthusiasm c-f the time
and the old tavern echoed and re
echoed with cheer after cheer.
Don't fail to see this great picture.

Valuable Pluntation for Sale.
I am offering to sell as a whole
until October the fifteenth, 1911,
one of the best cotton plantations in
Calhoun County. If not sold as a
whole by then I shall cut into small
tracts and sell.
This plantation is located within
one mile of Lone Star, S. C, and the
A. C. L. R. R. runs through place,
making it an easy matter to arrange
a plantation siding at almost any
point. There, are 1264 acres in the
tract, 430 of which are in swamp and
pasture land, GOO acres now In cul
tivation, and about two hundred that
can be cultivated very easily.
The land is a dark soil, practically
level and free of stumps; there
are twenty good t?ttlements on the
plantation, an 1 thr average rent for
the past twelve years has been 25,000
pounds of line cotton per annum. I
am asking $30,000 for the place, and
left as it is entirely to tenants it
yields a magnificent return on that
amount, but this could be very much
increased by push and personal at
tention, as the character of this land
is the very best and repsonds quick
ly to work and fertilizer.

THIS LADY'S
GOOD APPETITE
Mrs. Hansen, In a Letter From
Mobile, Tells How She Gained It.
Mobile, Ala.?"I suffered for seven
years, with womanly trouble," writes
Mrs. Sigurd Hansen in a letter from
this city. "I felt weak and always had
a headache and was always going to
the doctor. At last I was operated on,
and felt better, but soon I had the
same trouble.
My husband asked me to try Cardul.
I felt better after the first bottle, and
now, I have a good appetite and sleep
well. I feel fine, and the doctor tells
me I am looking better than he ever
saw me."
If you are sick and miserable, and
suffer from any of the pains due to
womanly trouble?try Cardul.
Cardui is successful because It Is
composed of Ingredients that have been
found to act curatively on the woman
ly constitution.
For more than fifty years, it has been
used by women of all ages, with great
success. Try it. Your druggist sells it
