truth as it appeared ami yive both

doubt it." Newberry Herald and

mistaken. I lie Dailv Mail is that kind
"fa paper, and H is yetting ahmy jiM

We are ylad 1 ? know thai the

ami I hat ii i - succ liny. That
is what every newspaper should do
lutl some of our hiy dailies carrv
their persona! likes ;tnd dislikes into
their news columns and use their editorial
columns to abuse those who do

linn. William .leiininys I'rvan as he
was takiiiy ? I>ip fur Mexico announced
that he would "run a;iin for the
('residency in I!?JL? if circumstances
once more lorce me into the c/impaiytt.
So it would seem the ir.in~
strel who s;ij11 In- would vote for Taft
because lie 11iiyIit not have another opportunity
to vote for liitn. but thai he
could vote for I'rvan anv lime had tlie
situation down about riyhl.
Mr. Bryan is a great and good man
bill really he should no| monopolize
lite business of running as a candidate
of the Democratic party for the
presidency. It is contrary to the anti-trust
and anti-monopoly plank of
the Democratic platform.
A WISE ORDER.
*4dudye Klrtvh vesterday issued an
order prohibit iny person> from t>'11 itty
on the fl ?or or llin w iny litter of any
kind upon the floor of the court house
or indulging in any other ads or conduct
abusive to tho public property >-or
V
\
calculated to disturb I lie good ord?
of the court. Any one violating tl
order shall be subject to a fine. Judg
Klugh is to be eommended. Though
less people abuse public property, n<
because they do not know better, bi
because they do not care, and the
should be made to have a regard f<i
the county's property and the con
fort of others. We have never see
a court limine that did not resembl
more or less a hog pen, because of 111
indecency of tobacco chewcrs in e>
peel orating upon the floor. It's ur
sanitary and therefore unhealthy an
we applaud the order of Judg
Klugh."
The above was clipped from an e>
change and we think appeared first i
the (Jafl'ney Ledger and was, there
fore, an utterance of .Judge King
from the bench at fJaffney.
Judge Klugh is eminently eorrec
We arc glad to see the judiciary taV
ing aetion similar to this. Tt is usr
less to spool money in building an
furnishing nice court rooms if the
arc 1" be abused. People do not in
tend to abuse the property but do s
many times thoughtlessly. Beside
(lie unsightly appearance such con
duct makes the building unsanitary.
.Indue Memniinger on Saturday is
sued a similar order at Xewberrv am
placards will l>e piti i;m calling the al

the fact that spitting upon I lie floo

people who attend court will think fo

file recommendation of the gram

to lie used as an office building to h

Tlmse who favor retaining III

The letter of the president
Chairman Bailey follows:
I The White House, Washington,
November 0, 100S.
'My Dear Professor Bailey#
I wish at the outset cordially
thank yon for the way in which y
| have taken hold of the work you a
doing. No more valuable work f
fi (lie people of this country can He
ic done, bccausc no more valuable work (
[t* for tlie farmers of this country can ^
t- be don*. j
>t Now of course tlie whole success
it of the work depends upon the attitude (|
y of the people in the open country, of (
>r the farming people f the United (
l- Stales. If I hey feel an awakening in- s
n terest in what you are doing, the.v
e should manifest it. Moreover, il is
c essential that (lie farmer, the men
who actually live on the soil should ,|
i- feel a sense of ownership in this comd
mission, should feel that you gcntlec
ment in very truth represent them
and are responsive to their desires
and wishes, no less than to their
|]
n needs. It seems to me therefore that (
!- it would be wise to try to get into the
h closest possible touch with the farmers
of the country and to find out
t. from them, so far as you are able, just ^
what they regard as being the sub>
jects with which it is most importd
ant that you should deal. This you
\ are already doing by sending out a
i- circular of questions and by holding
0 meetings in different parts of tin- *
s Cnilcd States. Hut perhaps somei
thing m<?re can be done.
I accordingly suggest that you ask
- the farmers to come together in the
fl several school districts of the conn- *
"itrv so that they may meet and con"
J sidcr these matters. I suggest the V
l' ! school districts because the school '
t i house wonhl lie the natural and pro- ('
I per place for such a meeting; or fhe\ "
1 | could meet at other customary or conf
I venicnt places. It would be well if:
i' tlu? meetings could be held within
| the next three or four weeks; that is,
1 | before congress adjourns prior in the
P j Christ nias holidays, so that at the ''
time of t tic reassembling of congresj \
! early in January von will have the 11
j reports of the meetings and so will
j : In* in position to advise definitely '
I what should be done. 1 suggest that 11
Q I you ask them l<*? meet not later than
Saturday, December 5th; and you a
, will of course use your own judgs
ment whether to summon the meeting S1
,, by circular or otherwise.
r? Throughout this letter where I use j
0 the word "fanners" I mean also to ,
include all those who live in the
e | open country and arc Intimately con
! nected with those wtio do the farm j
s j work?ministers, school teachers, j
n | physicians, editors of country papers,
1 | in short all men and women whose .
oilife work is done either on the farm J
i j or in connect ion with the life work ^
it I of those who are on the farm. ,
. I ll
Vou know better than I what topics
you will suggest. How would it
do to include such topics as: s
( j The efficiency of tlie rural schools, j
Farmers' organizations. I
( j The ?|uestion of farm labor. ]
M j The need of good roads. ;
Improved postal facilities.
| Sanitary conditions on the farm. |\
Your purpose is neither to investi- i v
gate the farmer, nor to inquire into )
j technical methods of running. You j
' , are simply trying to ascertain what i ;
jare the general economic, social, edu- j
jcational, and sanitary conditions "f|a
I the open country. and what, if any-j
jibing, the farmers themselves can do j (
! t<) help themselves, and how the government
can help them. To this end i
your especial desire is to get in |
touch with and represent the far- _
t- mers themselves. The commission i t
?
now consists of five members. 1[?
shall ask two more gentlemen |o >erve j'
| upon it, so thai the full membership
g- | will be as follows:

ed as follows:
m- Commission on Country Life,
hi* November 12, 1908.
'ar Sir: The Commission on Country
In- Life is much gratified that its efforts
A. have met with your approval. 'Hie
public interest in the subject seems
to to be widespread and to be constantly
growing, as the purpose of the
work becomes known. Discussion of
the inquiry that the commission is
j making, among tli" people themsetto
ves. is the best means of arriving ai i
on Li clear understandin r of what the.
re j country life problems really are. The
'oj commission gladly welcomes youi
ingestion (lint till country people
mnu together to consider these great
(ucsliotis, and hereby requests all
>ersons who are specially interested
n the welfare of the open country to
neet in their usual gathering places
m or before December 5 to discuss
lie subjects you suggest, or any of
he questions on which the commisiufi
is making inquiries.
Copies of the questions niay be seured
by writing to the Commission
n Country Life, Washington, I). 0.
'he commission desires that so fai
is possible, a general summary 01
stimale of the discussions in all the
neetiug places be promptly sent to
Is ollice in Washington, so that it
nay have the benefit of all suggesions
in preparing its report.
Very respectfully,

THE REAL SECRET.

'harlotce Observer.
Many and various have been the
onjeetures aiming to account for
Aryan's third exit from the stage,
estiued, however, like I'atti and
tlier celebrities to make other farc ell
tours. A small coterie of Ob rver
admirers secretly maintain
hat the (Jreek-beaing gift of the
.ong (lander and the fat lien to the
eceder elder of Secession Chaleston
irst put Taft on his mettle and dislosed
to chairman Mack the waverig
allegiance nf the old guard.
It was a case of killing a man in

on, il belittled the popular crusade

mbition was excited to do som.-ling
real handsome for the other

) laughing over an incident, however
rivial, that soon became national;
ic cause of Oklahoma and Nebraska
:'lt the lack of a certain dignity in- ,
pparable from great undertakings.
In vain Mr. Bryan sought to steer
lie tide by publishing from day to
ay that a certain well known friend
' his had given $100 to Chairman
lack. People remembering the
'harleston raffle of these celebrated
irds were sceptic and shook their
cads when asked for a dollar.
It is not a strange or strained theiry
that is here maintained. Win
hould not a bird that saved imperial
