X. H. AULL, 3DITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as second class matter. TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 6, 1904. The state executive committee has decided that no man should serve as a candidate on the electoral ticket who holds any office whatever, not even the commission as notary public nor as director of a national bank. It is well to take every precaution but this thing of holding but one office will get down so fine that the man who holds the office of good citizen will make him ineligible to a politi cal office. But then it is right and proper to take evey precaution in this matter. An impression has been abroad in this county that we favor high taxes and big appropriations. This is a mistake. We have always beleived it was best to deal honestly with the people and to tell the truth. We do not care for endorsement on any but a straight-forward course. We have told the people that in present condi tions taxes could not be reduced. That we would be as much pleased as any one to reduce taxes, and as a matter of fact we payaboutmuchRR matter of fact we pay about as much taxes as some people who are clam oring about high taxes. Appropria tions are about as low as they can be made as far as state matters are concerned. If you reduce county taxes you must first reduce county expenses. We hope we are mstaken in this po sition and that by another taxpaying time to be able to find taxes cut in half, and all debts paid. The body of Maud Allen was bur ied in Columbia on Saturday. The mystery of her death will probably remain unsolved forever. At one * time it seemed as if the police had a firm grip on the facts of the case, but * they. were compelled to loose their -Holt. * A New York man has appropriately named his autorachile "The Yellow Peril." The .\mer'.can chaficer and the Japanese soldier are nearly even matches when :a come~ to killing. A beautiful instance of (he Rus sian humane method of waging war as compared with Japanese barbar ism is furnished by the story of the Russian blind pits at Liao Yang into which Japanese troops, and even non combatants, fell and were impaled on wooden stakes. With Parker at Rosemount and Roosevelt at Sagamore Hill, both democrats and republicans can lift up their voic:s, for once harmonious in the- prand o.'d psalm of David, "1 will lift up m'ne eyes unto the hills, wvhenice comneth my help." * The Washington commission on in sanity established 'a bad precedent when it declared a man insane because he thought that the government owed him a living. - Newberry county has four cotton oil mills besides the one owned by the Southlern Cotton Oil company. One of these is at Prosperity and has been in operation for a year. It has been quite successful and declared a good dividend the first year and has recently increased its capital stock. The others-one at Newberry, one at Little Mountain and one at Pomaria will be ready this season. We hope they will all succeed. The farmers should be able, with this com petition to get their cotton ginned very cheap and should receive a good r.rice for their seed. Although Americans may view in safety the operations in the far-east, Europe is becoming restive under the continued and uninterruped success on land and sea of the JaJpanese. Eng land, for instance, is doubtlcss glad to see the Russians receive a good thrashing but there is a question as to whether the people of Great Brit ain would care to see the chastise ment continue as tar as it seems now likely to go. The geographical situation of Japan is too similiar to that of the British Isles for the English to look with anything but apprehension upon the growing power of the little Mongol ian race, wtile France and the other continential powers have already been awakened to the tremendous advan tage accruing from such insular situa tion, and are loath to see another world power spriog into like menac ing prominence.
