The political conditions are very peculiar, and it is a prob lem to learn the difference be tween the two great parties; the party in power under the Roosevelt administration,. has. been, and is continued to be called the mother of trusts, mo nopolies and frenzied financier yet, this administration seems to have put the trusts on the run from the process servers. The great Standard Oil Trust has been haled before the courts, and fined severely; great rail road systems have felt the heavy hand of the law. Wall street has been thrown into spasms by the government's efforts to ex pose and punish rascality. Sui cide and the penitentary has claimed wrong-doers. The pres ent panic is charged up to the Republicans by the Democrats, and, at the same time, the accus ing party confesses the cause underlying present conditions is rascally conduct on the part of the high financiers, and these in dividuals are connected with both parties. It is admitted, universally, that president Roosevelt has brought down upon himself the ire of Wall street, and no stone would be left unturned to defeat him had he stood for re-election; of all men, Roosevelt would not have been supported by the money-sharks, but now, that he has given -a positive assurance that he will not be a candidate, these Wall street magnates are at sea, they cannot support Bryan for he liked Roosevelt, is honest, and, his oolices are so near like Roosevelt's that very little con scaion they can look for there, Hughes of New York is another one of those independent char acters that dishonest men fear, therefore Foraker of Ohio, is the only hope, and he will get their support in the hope of a compromise where by .the government will be called off, and they be allowed to continue in their swindling game of finance. The Democratic party will get no support from the big financiers because, it cannot afford to give them a promise, and the fact of Wall street giving a Democratic candidate support would at once be circumstantial evidence, of a compact which the masses will .never stand for. The people realize the cause of present con ditions to be no fault of the gov ernment, but on the contrary had it not been for the govern ment there is no telling what havoc these manufacturers of wealth by false pretenses. would have wrought, as it is, the trouble is but temporary, things hereafter will settle upon a solid business basis, and at matters not which party gets control .of the government. a repetition of the present condition can never come again. STAND PAT. Hon. Cole L. Blease, of New berry, has given out that he pro poses to introduce at the coining session of the General Assembly a bill to declare the State under Prohibition, with a provision to permit counties to vote a license system, 'which if he succeeds, would simply put one or two counties in the State under a license system-Charleston, and Georgetown, with possibly Rich land and iBeaufort. -Senator Blease was the leader of the State Dispensary forces last ses sion, and he made a very able fight for his cause, but now that the General Assembly is com mitted to the Carey-Cothran Act we had hoped that al men as the Senator from Newberry would be willing to let well en ough alone until the matter can be put before the people next summer for their arbitration. In our judgment the cause of temn perance will not be advanced by changing the State's present policy. Under the present law those counties unwilling to .sell liquor, can be rid of it, therefore we cannot see any need of dis turbing the present status at this session. Let the question go to the people, and if they -want State Prohibition, a gen eral assembly will be chosen to carrx- out their wishes, but' if this legislature makes any -rdi cal change it will only create confusion and make opportunity for a very corrupting campaign next summer. In the mean time let Colonel Blease and his friends aid in securing legislation which will investigate the conduct of the State dispensary from its birth to its death, and if it is a fact that any man or set of men are guilty of wrongdoing a way shouH be found to make them disgourge. It will help South Carolina's finances very much if several hundred thousand dol lars can be turned into the treas ample for the future if those guilty of theft can be put in stripes; the more exalted their position, the greater will be the effect upon civic virtue. CONSTRUCt DO NOT OBSTRUCT. Senator Tillman hopped on to the administration Monday with one of his characteristic spee ches. He plunged his pitchfork deep into the bowels of the fi nancial department to dig up and expose the methods of the ad ministration in flying to.the re lief of Wall street when the fi nancial flurry began, the Senator admits he has given no study to finance, his own labors in that direction having been confined to my own expenses," and he might had added that it was un necessary to worry about his own expenses until the Hepburn rate bill became a law. There is not enough of the senator's speech reported in the press dis patches to judge of its merits, but the inquiry he is demanding should be made, unless the agi tation is likely to intensify the present lack of contidence which is gradually being restored, we agree with the senator's view that handcuffs should be put on the wrists of these frenzied fi nanciers, but such characters are usually shrewd enough to dodge prisons walls; they manage to keep their secrets until opportu nity comes along to bury them with the dead. The senator ridicules the issu ance of clearing house certifi cates, and there is much in his contention, these issues have no doubt given considerable relief, but in our judgment the govern ment alone should have the right to issue them. The calling at tention to the management of the financial branch of the gov ernment may result in good and we hope South Carolina's senior senator will empty his pockets of the rocks he has been boast ing of, and go to work to con struct a firm financial system. $100 Reward, S100.

CHENEY & CO., Toledo, 0. Sold by druggists. -ooc. Hall's Family Pills are the best. Last Sunday's issue of the Columbia State, Christmas edit tion, was indeed a magnificient paper, worthy of the thrift and enterprise of a hustling city. The supreme court has decid ed in favor of Calhoun county, and the election took place yes terday. This decision will spur on the other sections lo6king for new county alignmenits. Wanted-One copy of the News and Courier published in the year 1907 which does not contain some mention of W. J. Bryan: -This copy is desired to keep as a curio, and in after years it may have a monetary value. - Hon. D. S. Henderson of Aiken has announced himself a candi date for the United States Sen ate. Mr. Henderson served sex eral years in the State Senate, and was looked upon as one of the ablest men of that body, He will make a strong candi. date, stronger by- far than any of the other gentlemen so far announced to oppose the present incumbent. Calhoun county, to be formed from parts of Lexington and Or angeburg, after a hard legal bat tle, won in the election yesterday in avote 598 to 113. St. Math ew's will be the county seat, and this new county will be one of the most prosperous in the State as it is located in a magnificient farming section, and populated with a thrifty prosperous people We welcome Calhoun as South Carolina's 42nd county. The greatest fleet of battle ship that has ever sailed the ocean from any country, is now on its way to the Pacific, and perhaps a tour of the world. The grand pageant Imoved out of Hampton Roads Monday, amid the booming of cannon. The Commander-in-Chief of the Armies and Navies Theodore Roosevelt, bade it God-speed, and American patriotism is fired with pride, as the stately pro tectors of her commerce and civilization goes abroad on a peaceful mission to let the Jap aneze and all othgrs know that Uncle Sam means to keep the peace, if he has to shoot to make peace. The Arkansas Senator, Jef fries Davis,made good his prom ise to speak in the early part of the session, and he will here after be heard from as "the Sen ator from Arkansas, who also spoke." When will the South learn that such tirades as the U.S. Senate was forced to listen to from the representative at the "Red Hillies" of Arkansas throws back her chances of be ing an influencial force in the nation ? We venture to say, while Senator Jeffries Davis was speaking, the blush of shame mounted the cheeks of our own Senator of pitchfork fame. There is even a limit to blackguardism DeWitt's Carbolized Witch Hazel Salve-don't forget the name, and ac cept no substitute. Get DeWitt's. It's The National Democratic Con vention which will, by acclama tion nominate William Jennings Bryan for president, will assem ble in Denver. There is very grave doubt of any Democrat being able to win the presidency, but in our opinion William Jen nings Bryan will have a larger vote polled for him than any other mar. the party can put forward. The difference in the policies of Roosevelt and Bryan are very slight, but should the democracy win, perhaps Bryan will have influence enough with some of our southern statesmen now making spectacles of them selves, and bringing their States into discredit to have them keep quiet. Whenever you feel that your stom ach has gone a little wrong, or when you feel thnt it is not in good order as is evidenced by mean headaches, nerv ousness, bad breath and belching, take something at times, and especially af ter your meals until relief is afforded.

It It is pleasant to take; will make you feel fine by digesting what you eat. Sold by W. E. Brown & Co. Hon. George B. Cortelyou sec retary of thetreasury, whom the anti-Roosevelt newspapers have been endeavormg to place in the position of being in an intrigue to use the appointive federal offi ces to secure the republican nom ination for president, has issued a sigred statement; declaring that he is not. and has not been a candidate for the presidency, andhe also denies that his friends have used their influence in his behalf, that should he become a candidate he will frankly say so, and give the reasons for his can didacy. The statement has the true ring of sincerity, and it will have the effect of putting the manufactures of falsehood to their trumps to find other mate rial. The Cortelyou letter while manly and sincere, will be re ceived throughout the country with disappointment by many. who, regardless of party affili ations look upon him as one of greatest men of the age, and would like to see him succeed his Chief. - A marvellous preparation containing the most healing ingredients. Hollis ter's Rocky Mountain Tea relieves when all else has failed. 35c., Tea or Tablets. Dr. W. E. Brown & Co. The cotton price prospect is becoming brighter, as is eviden ced by the steadiness of the cot ton goods market. Those in close touch with the situation are convinced that as soon as confidence is fully restored and the hoardings of the stampeded money savers is returned to the banks, cotton will reach a price beyond the expectations of those who have been standing out for a high price. The money scare has effected all of the manufac turing industries to the extent; that many of them have closed down and their laborers are out of employment, others are run ning on shortened time, but as soon as matters reach a normal condition which we confidently look forward to, unless dema gogues in congress bring about another scare by their insane at tacks upon all manner of money creating industries, if the po litical capital-makers, the crea tors of issues which appeal to the ignorant prejudices of the un thinking, and socialistic masses can be choked down, the country will return to its normal reason, and business will once more re sume the even tenor of its way. The present conditions are un natural, the country was never more prosperous, and yet, in the very midst of an unprecedented rosperity, on account of the bad onduct of a few, confidence is shaken, and a semi-panic is the result.

"A farmer should never use cotton seed directly as a ferti lizer when he may exchangeit for a fair equivalent of meal." "According to chemical analysis of each, 886 pounds of cot ton seed meal are abou't the equivalent in content of plant food, to 2000 pounds of cotton seed. -But owing to tlie superior r ' + cbanical condition of the meal and its consequently greateri7or C more promt availbility, it is safe to assume that 800 pounds of meal are-thefull equiva lent to one ton of see.4 + Therefore, whatever excess above. 800 ,pounds of meal the farmer can get in exchange for a ton of seed, or by selling. the seed and buying the meal, lets the cost of -hauling or fiight Z ing, is to much clear profit in comparison with using the ton of + seed !irectly as a fertilizer."
