Judge from the tone of a letter from Cope, S. C., to the Colum bia State there is a suspicion that the morning newspaper of Columbia is resorting to accom plish by bushwacking methods what it failed to do by open war fare. The writer of the letter dated at Cope does not believe "I. W. Justice" is the real name of the writer who signs the letters over that name published in The State, but that the writer of those attempts at satire is connected in some way with the paper. The writer from Cope is not alone in his belief; there are many who have the same opinion, and these think The State's opposition to the present governor could be made more effective if it would, in a conservative but open man ner, make known its opposition and the reasons therefor. If The State would commend the good things done by the governor, and in a proper manner criticize his mistakes it would be rendering the State a good service and its influence would be a potent force; as it is, the masses look upon The State's opposition as being prompted by personal spleen and that it would hesitate at nothing unlair to accomplish its purpose to cripple Governor Blease in the public estimation. We, too, have criticized the governor when we thought he should be criticized, and will con tinue so to do, but at the same time those of his acts which we approve we shall and have com mended. In other words we are disposed to be fair, and we think every newspaper should strive to be. GIVE HOME THE PREFERENCE. Governor Blease believes in employing home talent when the opportunity is afforded, and his position in the matter of employ ing an architect for getting up the plans for the new building which is to be erected at Win throp college is correct. The board in charge of this matter employed an architect from Char lotte. The governor is the ex officio chairman of the board, and he protested against going out of the State for an archiitect when there can be obtained in this State equally as good serv ice, but the majority of the board had already made the contract with the man from Charlotte; nevertheless the governor is right. The governor is also right in his position about requisitions from other States for persons charged with being guilty of "misdemeanor." Most of these misdemeanors consist of men who have left their homes owing a little debt and the criminal ma chinery is resorted to for the col lection of the debt. Frequently wben the party is arrested the charge is withdrawn upon the payment of the debt. SHAL.'WE HAVE HORSE RACES? The rain game has been leg islated out of a number of States, and now it is said there is a proba bility of the sport heading for South Carolina. Those who op pose bringing the races to this Saeclaim that they do not ob ject to the races but it is the bet ting they are opposed to. What would a horse race be without betting? A few years ago a bill was introduced to permit the establishment of a race course near Charleston, and if our mem ory is correct Senator Blease, now governor, opposed the meas ure and succeeded in having in corporated into it an amend ment to prohibit betting. This i..amendment was knocked out in--- ree conference. and the bill b'ecamne a law without this amendment. ~The probability is that at the next session there will be some legislation looking to the prohibition of these racing meets in this State. But if bet ting is to be allowed at the races at the State fair, we see no rea son to exclude it from other courses in the State. SMITH'S AU. RIGHT. The writer of "Who is Who and Why" in the Saturday Even ing Post in the last issue damns our junior Senator with faint praise. He indulges himself in a fine piece of satire at the ex pense of Senator Smith of this State. All the same E. D. Smith has made good in the legislative balls of congress, and is serving his people with a fidelity second to none. So far,not one of his votes have been questioned, every act has been in accordance with the promises of the party platform, and when he goes before the peo ple again, should he have oppo sition, which we doubt, he will be re-elected overwhelmingly. The people recognize his ability and his loyalty. IS JtINES A CONVICT? There is in the penitentiary at Columbia "for safe keeping" one Tohn J. Jones, convicted of the charge of manslaughter for the killing of Abe Pearlstine at Branchville, and he was sentenced to the penitentiary for a term of years. A notice of appeal was made, but pending this appeal, Jones has been in the peniten tiary, not as a prisoner, but as "a safe-keeper." Why it should be necessary to have this prisoner in the penitentiary instead of the jail of the county in which the crime was committed other than for Mr. Jones' own convenience does not appear. Mr. Jones is a lawyer by profession; this prob ably has something to do with the extraordinary privilege being accorded to him. It has often been claimed that human life in South Carolina is cheap, and that it is of rare occurrence a white man can be convicted when charged with homicide. The jury which tried the Jones case heard the evidence, rendered a verdict, and the trial judge fixed the sen tence. The mandate of the court has never been complied with. Why? The tariff debate in congress was opened by Kitchen, of North Carolina, and well he did his part. The next thing we expect to hear is that Mr. Kitchen was born in South Carolina. The Secretary of the Charles ton Chamber of Commerce pro poses to put a movement on foot to open up an automobile highway from Charleston to Asheville in one day. Well, he may be able to accomplish the feat, but we shall wait and see. Booker T. Washington. the famous negro educator, has re cently bought a summer resi dence at Fort Salongo, a section of Long Island, largely popula ted by the wealthy of New York. Washington is gradually drifting away from his people, but he annot change his color. Think of it. William Jennings Bryan and William Randolph Hurst have made up, and are to be political comrades in the future. It is said that politics make strange bed-fellows, but after the abuse these men heaped upon each other in the past to now become cheek-by-jowl is the limit. Governor Blease quietly slip ped away from .Columbia Sun day to go to Baltimore to con sult with specialists at Johns Hopkins. The governor is not a well man, he was-a desperately ill man when he took the oath of office, and although he has been at his post attending to the duties he has done so frequently in pain. We -hope he will come back in robust health. It has been our opinion ever since the United States soldiers were sent to the Mexican border this government would sooner or later cross the line and event ually annex Mexico. The re cent battle between the contend ing Mexican forces near the border line, at Agua Prieta, was in our opinion a trick of the insurrecto's to make the United States government take a hand, similar to the trick of the Cubans blowing up the Maine and forcing this government to war. The sheriff of Lexington is on the watch for the blind tigers in bis county, and he has notified the depot agent that if any liquor is delivered to persons other than to the party to whom it is addressed, the rail road will be prosecuted under the federal laws. He recently captured five barrels of beer and two barrels of whiskey consigned to persons who had no knowl edge of the shipment, but it is supposed the beverage was ordered for a social club. Sheriff Corley is acting upon the orders of the governor, who wants all of the laws enforced. The cotton demand is becom ing more active within the past few days than it has been for some time, and prices are tending to soar; it would not surprise us to hear of cotton getting beyond 16 cents before the new crop is harvested. The mills are short of stock, and the demand for goods is strong. With this con dition there is no telling what the price will bo in the next three months. We do not suppose there is much of the staple in the hands of the growers, it is only here and theire that a small lot of cot ton can be found, but those who are so fortunate as to have it will be well paid for it. The idea of establishing a new morning daily in Columbia is not dead yet, so we heard yesterday. There is in serious contempla tion a syndicate with a bunch of money considering the start ing of a morning newspaper at the capitol in the near future. To make a successful investment we believe the project will di ainish the bunch's bank roll the irst two years, and if they can aot stand being hard pinched for it least two years our advice would be, if asked, to stay away. olumbia's morning field is well :overed. True, there are many who disagree with the policy of he paper at times, but it must se conceded its management has ione a lot of hard and effective work for- that city as well as the I tate at large, therefore we say o go in to crowd out such a ewspaper is a huge undertak .ng which will take pluck, perse -erarne nl the cash. The tariff tinkers are at work in Washington making campaign material for the politicians, but in our opinion the country will see no benefit from it. The lower House being Democratic and the Senate Republican the one will send to the other what it will not have. The Republican Sen ate will not accept a Democratic made tariff schedule: nor will a Democratic House accept a Re publican made tariff, and there you are, the two parties are play ing shuttle-cock for political ad vantage, and the people are be ing buncoed right along. There is now a chance for the appointing power of the governor to have a test in the courts. In the case of the appointment of the magistrate at Greenwood who was appointed by Gov. Blease, his predecessor refused to turn over the books and papers of the office claiming the governor had no power to appoint without the recommendation of the legisla tive delegation, the matter now comes up before Judge Watts un der a rule directing the magistrate holding over to show cause why he should not vacate the office, and turn its effects over to his successor. We presume the de cision of Judge Watts will settle the controversy so far as the governor is concerned. President Taft has made his demands upon the Mexican gov ernment and the insurrectos to not molest American interests, but notwithstanding this the fighting is going on so close to the American lines that the peo ple at Douglas, Arizona, are greatly in danger. It is up to congress now to authorize the President upon further action. If congress decides it to be neces sary for the United States to in tervene it will mean war with Mexico. In that event the al leged secret treaty between Mex ico and Japan will then be ascer tained. In this day of expansion there is no telling what the Uni ted States intends to do, there are large American interests in Mexico and these interests will have the protection of this gov ernment at any cost. A Veteran's Endorsement. Editor The Mannink Times: In your issue of the 12th, you publish an article "A Worthy Call" written by Hon. J. H. Lesesne. The article- written is to the point and explains itself. I hope the call to meet at Man ning will be responded to by the young men to whom it is ad dressed, and a movement by them will be set on foot to erect 'n our court house square a innument to perpetuate the memory of Clarendon's soldiers in the late war between the States. To erect a monument to the h'onor of the Clarendon Confederate soldiers is a duty of the people of Clarendon. Forty six years have elapsed since the last- gun flashed for Southern Independence, and behold. there is as yet no monument. In conversation a few months ago with a gentleman who is a resident of Manning he sug gested to the writer a plan to bring about the erection cf a monument to perpetuate the memory of Clarendon's Confed erate soldiers, and this gentle man further said that with the plan he suggested he would wil lingly contribute one hundred dollars. It has been said that twenty five hundred dollars will build a suitable monument. Could not twenty four more men in Clar endon contribute a hundred dol lars a piece to this laudable un dertaking? A word to the wise is suffi cient, and Mr. Editor, I will say nothirng more along this line at present. GEORGE R. JONES. Davis Sta. April 15, 1911. High Prices '?or Tobacco. Editor The Manning Times: Will you please publish the following information to tobacco growers of Clar endon and adjoining counties: I have recently mnane a thorough can vass of the tobacco situation and pros pects in general for South Carolina and Eastern North Carolina, and from all that I can gather this certainly is going to be the banner year for our growers. People who have plants certainly are in the swim. 1 find that they are scarce not only in South Carolina, but in Eastern North Carolina, too. I also find that a good inany farmers did not prepare beds at all, owing to the high price of cotton last year, and especially was this true in North Carolina. I also understand that the tobacco crop last year was 35,000,000 lbs. short of demadnd. So you can readily see the need of plant ing all the tobacco you possibly can this year. The above figures come from men who are in the business and this is not hot air talk. Water your plants and save what you do not need for your neighbor. I copy the following from the Southern Tobacco Journal: We are of the opinion after a close study of the situation, that farmers in the bright belts will do well to increase their planting over last yeair. We do not mean that they should plant an ab normal crop, but as the crop that is just passed into history was both short and 3mmnon, we believe the demand for b-igts of desirable kinds will be great 2exi season at good paying figures. W'e would therefore urge Eastern orth and South Carolina to plant as nucb tobacco as they can well care for. Rt. D. COTIIRAN. STATE OF OtIO. CITY OF' TOLEDo. r LUCAs COUNTY- . FitANK J.

Brillat-Savarin, the author of "The Physiology of Taste," was the abso lute realization of the typical good liver. The French revolution confis cated his property and removed him from his office as-civil judge. He fled to Switzerland and then to the United States, where he played a fiddle In a New York theater to gain a living. His property was afterward returned o him, and he was made a counselor of the supreme court, an office he clung to successfully through changes of empire and kingdom. His "Physi olog of Taste" shared the fate of many celebrated books. It was re fused by several publishers and even tually was published at the author's expense, but without bIs name at tached to it, as he considered the na ture of the work incompatible with his judleial functions. It was Brillat-Savarin who declared that "the discovery of a. new food does more for the happiness of the human race than the discovery of a star." "Monsieur the counselor," a hostess asked him one day, "which do you pre fer, burgundy or bordeaux?" "Madame," replied the judicial au thority, "that is a lawsuit in which I have so much pleasure in taking the evidence that I always positpone judg ment" A LIBERTY WITH TIME. Castelar's Interrupted Lecture In the University of Madrid. In "Home Life In Spain" Is a fine story of the University cf Madrid, which once had among its, professors that Senor Castelar who was for a time president of the shoEt lived Span ish republic. But when Alfonso XII. was brought to Madrid after the fall of the republic Castelar, with his com panions, was exiled. Some years afterward an -amnesty was proclaimed, and Castelar returned in triumph to Madrid to resime his office in the university. A vast gather Ing attended to hear his first lecture, and the greatest orator in all Spain mounted the rostrom, looked Imper turbably at the sea of eager faces sur rounding him and began, "As I was saying yesterday" (Como decia ayer). Between that yesterdy and this day he had fonght the battle of the fallen republia and had knoWn the bit terness of years in exile. All memory of this, however poignant In the heart of Castelar, had passed fronl the pro fessor of Madrid's university, and ie continued his lecture at the very point at .which it had been brokenoff. The Sedan Chair. The sedan chair is named after Se dan, the town where it was first used. The earliest mention of it In England occurs in 1581. Early In the following century the Doke of Budklngham caused much indignation by its use In London. People were exasperated at that nobleman employing his fellow men to take the place of horses to car ry him. Prince Charles broinght from Spain in 1623 three curiousiy wrought sedans, two.of which he gave to the b 0ke of Buckingham. A few weeks ater their introduction Massinges pro duced his play, "The Bondman," and in it he thus adverts to the ladiesc For their pomp and care being borne In triumph on men's shoulders. The reference is doubtless to Buck ingham's sedan, which was born* like a palanquin.-"Bygone England." The Magnetlo Poles. The magnetic poles are nol: statioz& ary.

In ancient times india Ink, inade from lampblack and glue, was--used for writing on papyri, but 'inspection of the earliest vellum or aparchment MS. shows that iron gaBl inks twere Introduced not later than the ainth century.
