There is always soiething croppring out of the speeches of Senator Tillman which gives the newspapers a subject for criti cismn. and the latest is an old backeneyed boast that he would lead a mob to lynch for a certain crime. At Birmingham, Ala., he said "With the oath on my lips to uphold the law I would lead a mob any time to lynch a. man. black or white. who had ravished a woman." . Senator Tillman has said this many times before, but it has been regarded as a meaningless boast in'the heat of debate, but win he refers to the"oath on my lips" it has the sound of deliber ation, which to our mind, con sidering his high position, is not calculated to place him or the State he represents in an envia ble position. We doubt serious ly that the Senator could be in duced to lead a lynching mob, for did he do so it would jeopar dize his seat in the United States Senate. and we do not believe he would willingly turn loose that position. He might by his inCendiary utterances influence others to disregard the -law of the land and~ take the r-sk of legal punishment, but his per sonality would be far from the scene. It is a great pity that our senior Senator will not cut out these wild, sensational utter ances, they can do lQts of harm, and cannot do any good, They do not reflect any credit upon himself, and they bring discredit upon his State. Senator Till man is in position to be a great help to South Carolina, and now that he has been re.elected, and that too without opposition, he should be more guarded in his speeches and make a reputation for s. d statesmanship. MAKE THE UCENSE HEAVY. There is a law upon our Stat tute books requiring a license for immigrant agents operating in this State, This law was en acted to protect our farmers from the Georgia and Florida turpentine and lumber camps, that are annually sending into1 this State agents to entice labor away. Our labor conditions are becoming more and more serious and unless there is s-mething done to put a stop to enticing negroes away from the State, the farms. will soon be without hands to operate them. The license now is $500, but it has not had the effect of stop ping the traffic. Agents are go ing over the country, and at neaily all the railroad stations crowds of negroes are embark ing for the turpentine tields of Georgia. Many of these hands are leaving with debts behind them, and causing the loss of muc-h money to those who have accommodated them to make a livelihood. The only ,vay we can see to remedy this growing evil is to make the license $5,000 with a penitentiary penalty. The coming session of the legis lature would take this matter up and devise some means by which the carrying away of farm labor can 'be stopped. The American Book Company has bought out the University Publishing Company, and the school book trust is about as great an octupus as was ever the Standard Oil trust. No wonder new school books are re quired every year. Our politi cal leaders are always harang ing against the trusts, and yet, in this State there is a school book adoption which requires every child ,to study from trust, books. Literature is being circulated urging President Roosevelt for a third term. The Roosevelt third term National League with headquarters. at Chicago. claims to be a non-partisan organization and wants to elect President Roosevelt irrespective of party. We doubt very mnuch if this movement has the approval of the president, because he has declared that he would not ac cept another nomination. The only republican president that ever tried to get a third term was Grant, and that was at a time the r-epublican party was solid. He failed in1 convention and we -believe the friends of Roosevelt will also fail. The presidents determination to stand by his guns in the mat ter of discharging the negro batalion that "shot -up" the town of Brownsville is meeting with approva from the entire coun try withfthe exception of such politicians as Senator Foraker of Ohio, Riepublican. and Sena tor Tiliman of Sonthi Carolina, Democrab. Foraker is laying his pipes for the republican hopes by his fight upon Presi dent Roosevelt to capture the negro delegates of the south, but what is the motive prompt ing the South Carolina Senator is beyond conjecture, unless it is to aid the Republicans in try ing to prove to the negro that the Republiez-n party will stand b hinm. There is great complaint all over the county about the in crease of taxation, and few un derstand that the increase is due to the increased assessment required by the Comptroller General. It will be remembered when the Comptroller General issued his instructions to the auditors, we took the position that the legislature should not make the tax levy, but that tle gove-rnor should, after all the returns were in and the equali zation boards had passed upon them, call an extra session for the sole purpose of fixing the levy in accordance with the in creased assessment. Had this been done, in our opinion, the taxes paid by the individual would not be increased, while the books would show'a greater value of property. As it is now, the property assessment is fixed for four years,' and unless the State levy can be cut down the taxes cannot be decreased. To cut down the State levy will be a difficult task, because it is claimed that the amount raised is not sufficient to meet the ex penses of the government. The State colleges are clamoring for more money, and all of the other State institutions want more money; the more they get the more they want, and they man age to have enough friends in the legislature to make the ap propriations. $100 Reward, $100.

Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally. acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the sys tem, thereby desttroying the foundation of the discase.and giving the patient strength by build ing up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work.

"Soap was prescribed in the village for cramps, for sick headache, for a half dozen complaints. The people ad mittet that it was a nauseous dose, but on the other hand they pointed to its efficacy. -When I was taken down my mother would cut from the cake of yellow soal) in the kcitchben a chunk about as hi;: as a eh:st::at. 'Now. sonuy.' she would say, 'swal ler ihi!e.' and saidl hold the yellow mor s l in thnumb andi forefinger eiose to my lips. "'d be rin to whimper. The smell of it andi the i.1iea: of the lat'er that would form in my mouth-the lather I'd have to swallow-would fill me with despair. But may mother was inexorable. With stiff lips I'd take the soap into my mouth, I'd chew the soft and slippery stuff a little and then, with a groan and a dreadful gulp, I'd swvallow It. Horrors: "Horrors:" said the old man, smiling. "I can still taste those doses of soap that were so common in the village in my boyhood." Jewish Thrift. The Allgemeine Rundscau, Vienna, n an article on the Jewish question and anti-Semitism. has this to say as to Jewish thrift: "If we could only In duce our own lower class to acquire the Jew's thrift, his industry, his sense of order, his scrupulous exactituide, his religious loyalty and love for his famn ly the Jew on his darker side would appear far less dangerous to them* than Is at present the case- If one Sunday, by way of interesting experiment, one were to conduet an inquiry Into the station, wealth and religion of visitors to the various public houses, the fol lowing result would transpire: A large number of the guests would be Chris tians who would do far better to save than spend their money in alcoholic re freshments, gaming and tobacco. There might be a few Jews, but at the most they would content themselves with a cup of coffee." Anu Ancient Hebrew Bile. The highest amount ever offered for a single volume was tendered by a number of wealthy Jewish merchants of Venice to Pope Julius II. for 3. very ancient Hebrew Bible. It was then be lieved to be an original copy of the Septuagint version made from the He brew into Greek In 277 B. C., careful copies of the Hebrew tert tr"~Ing been prepared at that date f.)r the use of the seventy translators. The offer to Julius was ?20,000, which, considering ~the difference between the value of' 'oney then and now, would In our day represent the princely sum of $600,000. Julius was at that time greatly pressed for money to maintain the holy league whicli the pope had organized against France, but in spite of his lack of funds he declined the offer.

The burglary af a dandy's wardrobe meant a serious loss when it compris ed, as in John Osheal's case in 1714, "a scarlet cloth suit laced with broad gold lace, lined and faced with blue: a fine cinnamon cloth suit, with plate buttons, the waistcoat fringed with a silk fringe of the same coloig and a rich yellow flowered satin morning gown lined with a cherry colored satin. with a pocket on the right side." There is something a little more manly perhaps in the dress of the gallailt of 1000, pictured in one of Rowland S epigrams: Behold a most acconplished cavalier, That the world's ape of fashions doth appear. Walking the streets his humors to dis close In the French doublet and the terman hose. The mufreS. clvake. Spanish hat, Toledo blade. Italian ruffe. a shoe right Flemish made. There seems to have been no foolish prejudice against foreign made goods in 100.-London Chronicle. The Betel Nut. Chewing the betel nut in Siam, be ing a common habit, at every little dis tance as you go through the bazaar of Bangkok may be seen petty merchants busy making and selling the prepara tion so universally masticated. The leaves in which the prepared mixture is wrapped are from a vine known as the chavica betel. The nut is from the arica betel palm, which reaches a height of about sixty feet, whose branches bear several large bunches of nuts which harden and redden as they ripen and which resemble somewhat the bunches of fruit on the date bear ing palm. The dealers cut up their green leaves into the proper triangu lar form, crack the nuts and with wooden spatulas work the tumeric stained juice into a paste. It is amus ing to see how skillfully they form the pieces of green leaf into pointed, cone shaped cups, into each one of which they place a portion of the ingredients. Turks and Meerschaum. According to the best authorities upon the subject, the idea of using white tale in the manufacture of pipes is of comparatively recent date com pared with the age of the habit of smoking, and what is still more curious is the fact that in the oriental coun tries which produce white tale, or meerschaum, as it is called, and where the use of tobacco torms part of the education of the faithful the people never dream of making this substance into pipes. They make bowls and goblets of it, but no pipes. It may be that the long pipestems which allow the smoke to cool and lose its acridity before reaching the mouth leave the oriental smoker quite indifferent in re gard to the quality of the bowl. At all events, one never sees a Turk with a meerschaum pipe. Enormous Lifting Power. The shelless limpet pulls 1,984 times Its own weight when in the air and about double when measured in the water. Fleas pull 1,493 times their own dead weight. The Mediterranean cockle, Venus verrucosa. can exert a pulling power equal to 2,071 times the weight of its own body. So great is the power possessed by the oyster that to open It a foi-ce equal to 1,319.5 times the weight of its shelless body is re quired. If the human being possessed strength as great in proportion as that of these shellfish the average man would be able to lift the enormous weight of 2,970,000 pounds, pulling in the same degree as the limpet. And if the man pulled in the same propor tionate degree as the cockle he would sustain a weight of no less than 3,100, 500 pounds. Bers th hKn You Have Always Boght of a7 ( .Notice.
