Teddy will be an easy mark for the Democrats to beat next year. Teddy launches his presidential boomlet by snuggling close up to the Crusts. The doubting Thomases know now ?that the talk of a County Fair at Or angeburg was not hot air. Looks as if those* Democratic edi tors who want to support Teddy for President will have the chance. We have yet to see the person who doeB not think the County Fair waa a great *big success in every partic ular. The men who got up and pushed the County Fair to a success aro the kind of men that build up counties and towns. The fact, that the County Fair in duced over' twenty thousand visitor* to come here proves thafMt was a grand success. ?Those pessimistic friends who saw nothing but failure in the movement to get up a County Fair are con vinced now that they were badly mis taken. 'I The. Time:! and Democrat had f:*.lth in the County Fair moveraent from tho start, and for that reason it helped it along all it could by word ^nd deed. I The opinion expressed long ago by The Times and Democrat that Tfddy "as a trust buster was a.fraud i* am ply borne out by th? fact that he ia willing to be trust candidate for President. '* We do not believe that there is a man in the city or county of Orsaige-| burg who attended the County Fair but will admit tlrar it was a success, it matters not what he may have thought of it before It was held. ?Wo should be thankful for national peace and general health; for golden harvests and overflowing graneries; for liberty in church and state, and .for being allowed to live in this grand land of the brave and the home of the: free. Congressman Henry, of Texas, pro poses to amend 1 - the Sherman antitrust law by making the viola1 tion of the law a felony punishable by imprisonment for from two to ten years. Such ah amendment could never be made a part of the law as long as the trusts have such a friend aB Taft in the White House. 'Creenvillo Dally Piedmont says: "Orangeburg having held1 a success- j ful fair, it is believed that almost | any county seat can hold one.' Brother Booker should pay Orange-' burg a visit, and he would! change his I mind about our .little city, which has Bet a pace in County Fairs that even Greenville will find it hard to keep up with. Predictions are plentiful that The odore Roosevelt will be a candidate for the presidential nomination be fore the approaching Republican con vention. The doughty colonel's re-| cent editorial in the "Outlook." writ-1 ten in the first person by himself, upon "chaotic conditions," is freely taken as an implied declaration of | his candidacy. ?The Herald says: "Augusta and Rich land county are by no means the only busy little divorce mill In this country- Reno Is perhaps more fa mous but in its own territory. Au gusta is just as popular especially with South Carolina folks as Reno Is with New York." Surely the divorce mill, over in Augusta is not run for the exclusive benefit of South Caro lina people? The Times and Democrat voting contest is growing In popularity, and those young ladies who hav-.? entered it are doing splendidly. It gives all a chance to win a piano, a fine sewin machine or a dinner sot by doing a little work. The contest is open to any lady, who can get all informa tion by addressing tho Contest De partment. Times and Democrat, Or angoburg. S. C. While it may not bo altogether true that "manners maketh man," there is yet so much of truth in it that tho man who possesses good manners, exhibits the little but charming courtesies of life, and is chivalrous in his relations to women, gains unbounded respect and is far in tho way 'o'success. Any man, os >? ''daily o:i?' in official life, lacking in j >d breeding and perhaps actually ?i.-h in speech and manner, handi hfcnself and wins but few i'.l.tids. ' Woodrow Wilson Alright. iThe solicitude of th? Republican wspapers for the success of the Democratic party would be most touching and; beautiful if it were not for the hypocrisy and deceit with which it is expressed. They are aw fully afraid that the Democratic party will commit political suicide by nom inating Woodrow Wilson as its can didate for President next year. These Republican newspapers point out to the Democratic party exactly how they can elect the next President, but, at the same time, they continue to preach the Republican doctrine, and take great pains to impress on the people that it would not be safe to trust the affairs of the country in the hands of the Democrats. .This ex poses their hypocrisy, and shows that ;hey are afraid that the Democrats will nominate Wilson, who they know woulbe a formidable opponent of their man Taft. These hypocritical Republican newspapers point out that in the re cent election in New Jersey the Re publicans captured the legislature, which was carried by the Democrats last year when they elected Wilson governor. But these Republican newspapers fail to point out that the Republican machine victory in New Jersey was only made possib.e by the help of the machine Democrats lead by Smith, whom Wilson defeated for the United States Senate. The re sult in New Jersey was a victory of ik<* political machine over the people i in their efforts to rid themselves of ] base rule. It makes the issue very plain in the coming national cam paign. i Up to last year New Jersey was one of the most corrupt States in the Union. She was boas-ridden and ab solutely controlled by large corpora lions until she was redeemed last year by the magnificent fight Woodrow Wilson made for the people and equal justice to all. After his election, Gov ernor Wilson ?ucceeled In forcing through the legislature a stringent corrupt practices act, backed the de termined efforts of reformers to have fair elections by driving repeaters from the poUs, and succeeded in send ing Martins, a real Democrat, to the United States Senate over Smith, a corrupt political boss. tBv insisting upon the election of a real Democrat like Martine, Governor Wilson incurred the undying hatred of Smith, and the result of tne late election shows that Smith used his I influence in his owa county of Essex, I which is usually Democratic by a ! good majority, to turn over its entire delegation of twelve members in the legislature to the Republicans, which gave them a majority in the lower !hous?. It will be seen that the legis lature of New Jersey was lost to the Democrats by the treachery of a de | posed Democratic boss, and1 not j through any loss of popularity on the j part of Governor Wil&on with the real I reformers of his State. ?Notwithstanding the treachery of such socalled Democrats as Smith, the Democrats made a gain of one in the Senate, which now stands twelve Re publicans to nine Democrats, while the new Senate will be composed of eleven Republicans and ten Demo i crats. Besides, the rew Senator from Essex County, whose election the I treachery of Smith made possible, Is I a strong Progressive Republican, and j the Republican Assemblymen elected, are more in sympathy with Governor Wilson's reforms than Smlth'B so called Democrats would have been bad they been elected. Smith's object was to discredit Governor Wilson. This the result in New Jersey, when the facts are known, will not do. As the Democratic candidate for President, Governor WilsoD would carry Essex County in spite of Smith, as he would be voted for by many of those who voted for the Progressive Republican legislative ticket should President Taft or some other stand patter be nominated by the Republi cans for President. Instead of the result in New Jersey hurting Wilson with the country at large, it will help him. The opposition of such men as Smith to Governor Wiison will make him more solid than ever with the people at large, as well as with the people of New Jersey. Spread of Democracy. Democracy slowly but surely is spreading over the earth, and it will rot stop its march until the last au tocratic government is overthrown and the people come into their own and manages things without the aid of men. That which most impresses everyone who studies the social and political upheavals going on in nearly every part of the world is the fact that they express more or less intel ligently the aspirations of nations af ter greater liberty. And as one notes the events of the past few years he Is conscious that great, progress in that direction has been made. Autocratic rulers have been banished, institutions popular ized, and a gratifying degree of lib erty attained that must be a surprise even to those who are most immedi ately concerned. Diaz of Mexico, Manuel of Portugal. The Sultan of Turkey and the Shah of Persia are either Involuntary exiles or i". prison, and tbe thrones of some other rulers are not too secure. Because the United States and Great Britaia enjoy far more of lib erty and better social conditions than most countries they have been al most unaffected by those movements that have convulsed nations less ad vanced a'ong these lines. At the same time people have been swift to recog nize that abuses do exist and that they need remedying. This is seen in Kngland in the recent check put upon the House of Lords, the agitation In the labor world and in the demands for reforms of various kinds. In this country political corruption, the alarming growth and power of monopolies, have created a demand, which steadily increases, that these abuses cease and that power and re sponsibility l>e more directly placed with the people. In all these move ments at home and abroad there is j seen the fact that "the older order. changeth," and that all real progress means better things for the people. Friend of the Blind Tigers. If the United States Government, instead of helping the blind tigers, would aid the prohibition States in enforcing the prohibition laws blind tigers would 6ooa be 6uppresEed and we would have real prohibition. "The practical effect of the United States revenue statutes, Interstate commerce laws, and the UEe of the malls, is to mate the government the friend and coadjutor of the blind tiger, the brewer and Jdetiller in de feating the will of the people by granting federal license to whomso ever will pay, to go into any prohi bition state and violate the law," says Judge W. H. Thomas, of Mont gomery. "If the government should refuse such license In prohibition ter ritory, a larger per cent of the illicit liquor selling could be substantially abolished in that territory. As it is, the practical working of the system, makes the saloon keeper the annual tax gatherer for the government of more than two hundred million dol lars, through the lowest appetites of the people. Is this the right exereiee cf the taxing power in a Democracy; and the wise ideal of a great, general and powerful nation." This is true, as every officer who attempts to en force the prohibition law knows. If the United States Government would refuse to issue licenses in prohibition States, and prosecute those who sold liquor without them, there, would soon be no blind tigers.

At the fourth quarterly conference for St. Matthews circuit held at Wesley chapel last Friday week, quite a number of important matters were attended to. Rev. J. M. Stead man, the pastor, reports that the financial returns for the circuit were extraordinarily good, when the finan cial condition of the church is taken into consideration. The matter of the construction of the new church and parsonage for the St. Matthews congregation was given a definite 6tatus. A building committee was elected, composed of the following: (Dr. W. L. Pou, chair man; J. E. Wannamaker, G. W. Wan namaker, H. A. Raysor, T. A. Amak er, Dr. T. Ii. Dreher, Dr. J. K. Fairy, T. W: Dantzler, J. A. Banks. S. E. Owens and M. M. Mann. This com mittee will be Intrusted with the de tails of the new church and parson age. The trustees of the church were authorized to sell the old parsonage. The fund of $26,000 given by the lato J. K. Wannamaker to assist in the creation of this church will he available in installments within the next two years. A new and conven ient parsonage in keeping with the church will be erected. The total outlay will probably be in the neigh borhood of $30,000. Makes a New Venture. The St. Matthews correspondent of The News and Courier s-ys "there was another announcement on the business curb Saturday which created a lively interest hereabouts. Mr. James H. Halgler, on January 1, will enter the Arthur Hardware Company, of St. Matthews, as a live and vigor ous partner. He Ls the popular audi tor of Calhoun county and a promi nent farmer of Cameron. He recently sold his farm of 200 acres for $18,500 and will move his family to St. Matthews about Chri?tmas. With only fifty years to his credit, he has fourteen liTing children, and still he haB prospered and developed from small beginnings la a financial way; is educating them, owes no man a dollar, and is straight as a shingle in all his dealings with the world." Death of Surgeon Riggo. Passed Assistant Surgeon Ransome E. Riggs, United States Navy, at tached to the battleship Ohio, died suddenly on board that ship in Hamp ton Roads Saturday, of acute indi gestion.

Warren Dibble, of this city, who graduated from Wofford in 1910, and who has been preaching in the Western North Carolina Con ference was appointed a few weeks ago to a charge at West Concord.
