Izlar Sims, - - Publisher. SUBSCRIPTION BATES. One year.$1.50 One year, by carrier.2.00 Six months.?'? V75 Three months.40 Remittances should be made pay able to The Times and Democrat, Orangeburg, S. 0., by registered let ter, check or money order. Sheriff Salley managed the Bowen - matter with promptness and discre tion. He and his officers are entitled to the thanks of the whola State for ^running down and catching the fiend. gj? iPresident Taft seeras to have suc -ceeded in putting New Mexico in the f. .^moeratic column. His veto of the -?ill making Arizona & State is said to hare changed New Mexico from Republican to Democratic. .The fight South Carolina, North ' -Carolina and Virginia are making on the reorganization proposed by the American Tobacco Company f under the decision of the Supreme Court ' ordering it to dissolve, shows very plainly that the decision did not hurt the tobacco trust. Tie Times and Democrat has never, and does not now, advocate the return of the dispensary, but it does not agree with, the, fanatics who hold that the sopalled prohibi tion that we now have in nearly all the counties of South Carolina is above criticism or comparison with the Old dispensary law. The Newberry Observer says the ^'carnival of crime" Is no' argument for the return of the dispensary. It la an argument, though, for a more honest and more rigid enforcement of the law against the sale of li quor." We think nearly every news paper in the State will agree to this. The Times and Democrat for one does. \ A colored lodge of Free Masons in Alken County unanimously ex pelled one of its members, one G. L. Livingston, for aiding Arthur Bow en to escape after his dastardly crime at Springfield. We commend the ac ' *iion of these colored masons to all other colored societies, and would advise the white people to keep an eye on Livingston, who was expelled. Clinton Glover, the negro who was convicted of having entered a white lady's room at St. George and at tempting a criminal assault on her, "will not hang at the time appointed as an appeal has been taken in his case. Such delays as this encourages fiends to commit these cfimes, and is responsible largely for lynch law, that all good citizens must depre ciate. ' We agree with the Spartanburg Journal that "there is no reason why the knifing of the democratic legisla tive candidates by the Smith-Nugent party machine In New Jersey should ?weaken Gov. Woodrow Wilson in the estimation of the people of the coun try at large. On the contrary this ought to be a tribute to him in their estimation, and will be when fully "^understood." The Newberry Observer says: "As to the character of the liquors fur nished by dispensary and blind tigers, we doubt if there is much If any dif ference. They are likely manufac tured by the same parties. There could hardly be aaything worse than the famous fuss X." As we have never had any experience with either hind, wre will have to accept The Ob server's statement. . It is said that it will be at least two years before th& Steel Trust can ft>e brought before the United States Supreme Court, and if it puts up a good pile of boodle to keep the Re publicans in power it will go harm less when It does gei there. All this pretended prosecution of the trusts is nothing more than a new fat frying process invented \o make them cough up the boodle to swell the Republi can campaign fund next year. The Newberry Observer says: "There are all sorts of liquors, and the quality one buys depends on the price, whether he buys it from the dispensary or from a liquor house direct. All the 'fiendish* decoctions' are not sold by blind tigers; Indeed It was about dispensary liquor that the 'old toper' made the remark as to the bull dog and the Jack rabbit." The Times and Democrat knowB nothing about the price or quality of liquor It based its remark on blind tiger whiskey being a "fiendish concoction" on the testimony of chemists who analyzed it at Green ville and Anderson in murder pases. The Newberry Observer says: "It fcas come as we expected: the old dispensaryites are attributing the wa* ? of crime to blind tiger liquor, ami ulind tiger liquor to prohibition. Our esteemed cotemporary, the Or angeburg Times and Democrat is among the first to raise the cry and demand the return of the dispen sary; because, it says, prohibition doeB not prohibit." The statement that The Times and Democrat de mands the return of the dispensary because prohibition does not prohib it is absolutely false, and it chal lenges The Observer to produce one line from its columns to substantiate its false charge. Taft's Vetoes Were the Issue. The Republicans made President Taft's vetoes of the wool and cotton schedules as revised by the Demo crats in Congress the issues in Mas sachusetts in last Tuesdt-y's election. The Rep'.i dican/candidate for gover nor, Lools A. Frothingham, in all his speeches during the campaign, made the support of the President the key note of his appealB to the people. The PresI denft himself in a speech be fore the Essex County Republican club, called upon the people of State to elect Frothingham and sustain him In his policy of protection to the industries of Massachusetts. At the same meeting at which President Taft made his appeal to the people to sustain his vetoes by voting for Frothingham, Senator Lodge predicted that the Te-election of'Governor Foss would mean a Dem ocratic president and a subsequent revision of the tariff that v/ould be harmful to the textile industries of (Massachusetts. Hard times and panic have been predicted In case of a Democratic victory by all the Re publican stump speakers in the indus trial centers. The Republican manager openly declared that the reelection of Gov ernor Foss would be construed by the people of the nation as a direct slap at President Taft. Governor Foss did not dodge the issue of tariff reform, claiming that it was one of the things most needed by the people. He al3o claimed reeleation on the ground that his administration had teen beneficial to the people of the State, and pointed to the many pro gressive measures that had been passed since he was elected governor last year. > ? ? . This was the position of the two parties in Tuesday's election. It will be seen that the people of Massachu setts were called upon to pass "djb rectly upon President Taft, and his vetoes of tariff reform measures. They condemned both by reelecting Governor Foss. This is one. bf the most signal backsets President Taft has yet received. He appealed to the people to sustain him, and they re plied by politically slapping him in the face. According to Senator Lodge the people of Massachusetts have put themselves on record as being in favor of the election of a Democratic President and a revision of the tariff. ? <? ? Boll Weevil is Most Here. The Augusta Chronicle says it is a common thing to hear farmers in South Carolina and Georgia declare that the boll weevil will never reach either of these States, and that too, despite the warnings of the State Agricultural Colleges and Experi ment Stations and the preachings of government experts. The farmer that believes that the boll weevil will not come to South Carolina, and Geor gia will realize their mistake now pretty soon, as the boll weevil is nearly here now. The experience of Texas, Missis sippi and Louisiana and now the news that the. bolliweevil" has invad ed six counties in Alabama, ought to make Georgia and South Carolina sit up and take<motice. The lesson of the boll weevil is crop diversification. He stops the raising of cotton and it is necessary to raise other crops if the people are not to go hungry and .starve. Our farmers ought to be making arrangements to meet the changed conditions that are surely coming. In speaking of the advance of the boll weevil into Alabama, the Mont gomery Advertiser says "the people of Alabama must view his advance with the same fearsome interest with which they would see the approach of a hostile army. The weevil is the greatest menace to our agricultural prosperity which has arisen since the war. His coming means a recasting, a radical change in our farming op erations in the southern half of Ala bama. This will be a diflicult and an arduous task, but it is the only way in which he can be successfully combated. "Cotton can be grown and it can be grown profitably under boll weevil conditions. 'But it icannot be grown as we have been accustomed to grow it, after the boll weevil comes, and money made on its production. The Alabama farmer has been flooded with advice as to what he should do, now that the boll weevil has come. He has the experience of Texas, Mis sissippi and Louisiana before him and he should know how farmers in those States have made money in raising cotton, notwithstanding, the boll weevil and its work." ? ? 4 Slap at President Taft. President Taft has some views which he Is fond of expressing on the initiative, referendum and recall. He uttered some of these thoughts when he vetoed the Arizona Statehood bill. Among other things he declares: "I love judges, and I love courts. They are my ideals, that typify on earth what we shall meet afterward in heaven under a just God. The recall is so pernicious in its effect, so destructive of independence in the judiciary, so likely to subject th^ rights of the individual to the possi ble tyranny of a populur majority and, therefore, so Injurious to the cause of free government that there could be no system more Ingeniously devised to subject judges to mome tary gusts of pasfion." It is declared that California in Its recent election has administered the most impressive rebuke ever giv en a Republican President by a Re publican state. That state aQopted the initiative, the referendum and re call by the following large majori ties: For the initiative and refer dum, 138,181; against 44,810. For the recall, 148,572; against 46,290. Go way back and sit down, 'Mr. Taft Figuring on Ginners' Report. The Spartanburg Journal says tak ing the average per cent of cotton ginned for the last three years as a basis of calculation, the present crop will amount to 15,288,000 bales. That leaves 5,319,800 bales to be ginned after November 1. It 18 claimed and generally believed that on account of the early maturity of the crop that amount will not he ginned. Suppose there will be 20 per cent less than the estimate, then the present crop will reach 14,154, 033 bales. Take this State's crop re ported at i;021,972. The average amount ginned up to the first day of November for the last three years has been 65.8 per cent. Making a cal culation on this basis the crop will be 1,553,000 bales. Making a 20 per cent reduction on the balance of 531,028 bales to be ginned the prop will then be 1,446,895 bales, a larger crop than the 'State ever made. Tex as has ginned 3,210,218 bales to date. The calculation applied above will give that State a crop of 4, 218,000 bales. The final account will give her four mdl'tion bales. BEAUTIFUL WEDDING.
