Hoyt of the Columbia Record with others connected with the same news paper, has applied to Judge Jones for an injunction against the racing meet in Columbia. on the ground that it is a public nuisance: the rule was returnable today, but was continued until January 4th, and if Judge Jones grants the injunction, we have no doubt but that it will have its bear ing on the Charleston meet also. Horse racing cannot be decreed a nuisance, but. the court may enjoin those promoting the rae ing game from betting, and a horse race without stakes will be a tame business we imagine. No, no Mr Hoyt is not a minis ter. but the next best thing to it, a newspaper editor, and there is no quicker way to break into the lime light than to assume the role of moral sponsor. We have no objection to good, clean, horse racing, it is fine sport, and it will encourage the improve ment of stock raising in this State, of course, racing meets can be over-done like everything else, but if the proposed meet in Columbia and Charleston is con ducted properly, in our opinion, it should not be interfered with. What strikes us about this mat ter is, that so little attention is given to the many immorai things which are permittel to existed in both the-cities of Columbia and C~r ston, and now to see or the activity of those 5(o would assume moral spousbrship over the races, is .That we do not understand. The supreme court, in our opinion, can only go so far as to decree against betting, because it is against the law to bet, but we cannot see how it can say "Thou shalt not race." True, a horse race without betting will not appeal to the average lover of the gamnest sport in existence, and it will be a losing proposi tion to the promoters, at the same time we hope that it wvill not be prohibited, but regulated so that the public may enjoy the game without peing buncoed. GOOD IMMIGRANTS WELCOMED. At the recent conference of Governors in Baltimore Gov ernor Blease m'ade a speech, which is being commented upon by the press quite generally. He declared that immigration in South Carolina was a failure, but he neglected to give the cause. Had Governor Blease told his cornferees that the fail ure of immigration was due to prejudice aroused by politicians apealing to the ignorance of the masses he would have placed the blame where it belongs. He ~lso declared that South Caro lina would not welcome "exiles" from foreign lands, evidently classing the exiles with the pauper class who flood this country. The "exiles" as a rule, are those who have sacri ficed themselves on the altar of hberty, they are offensive to monarchial tyranny, and be cause of their patriotic indepen dence they cannot remain at homne withor t suffering impris onment for their convictions, hence they come to the land of the free and home of the brave. where freedom of thought. and speech is vouchsafed. We have no idea the governor objects to such, but his objection is to the element which come here with their bags filled with dynamite, and the class who come here to receive support without work, and in this, his speech is endors ed by a large majority of the :people. South Carohna is al ways ready to welcome honest toilers from foreign lands, those who wish to come here to be a part of the country, and aid in its development. LeGRAJD WALKER FOR COMMITTEEMAN. The city of Georgetown is the first to organize a Woodrow ~iison Club and it started out right by putting at its head Le Grand Walker, but it made a anstake when it asked the State convention to instruct the dele Zgates to the National convention. th Carolina will not be guilty uch folly any more, the prin of instructing delegates to ~ention is wrong, there is gwhat will turn up, and ates should be in posi Stheir judgment. To a convention m sothem with out -d they may as well anat bomne, send their votes maiL Instead of sending an ucted delegation we should e to see our State convention 4ect LeGrand Walker South C arolina's representative on the ~National Democratic Executive Committee, in the place of the esent incumbent who is inca itated on account of the con i'tion of his health to undergo e strenuousity of an - exciting mpaign. Walker would make a first class m~n on that corn -mittee. IT IS A HERCULEAN TaSK. Senator Howard Carlisle ofj Spartanburg will introduce a bill at the next session which has for its purpose the driving out of money loaning sharks by making it a criminal offense to charge more than double the rate of legal interest. The Senator's purpose is a good one, but we doubt very much if he or any one else can frame a law to carry it out. as those engaged in' the "big interest loaning game" are shrewd enough to fix their papers so the law cannot reach them. The principal borrowers at robbery interest is a class who cannot afford to seek the law's protection, because the amounts they borrow are small, and they usually sign papers which they are not permitted to repudiate in court, as the paper speaks for itself, and is higher evidence than or al testimony. There is no doubt that the money loaning sharks arelan evil to a communi ty, not only those who lend moner, but those who sell patent medicines, books, bibles, clocks, cooking stoves, furniture and numbers of other things at tremendous prices to people who will sign any kind of a paper to buy on credit, do lots of harm, their methods of doing business demoralizes labor, nevertheless we can see no way by legislation to put a stop to it. There is in element in the United States working overtime to get ex President Roosevelt into the race for president, but Teddy is not the lkind to lend his fingers to pull chestnuts. Secretarv of War Stimson in his annual report is of the opin ion that the United States is un prepared for war. He thinks we would not be able to cope with a first class power, and urges a larger army. What do we want with a war anyway, isn't the price of living high enough? The McNamara brothers are now in the California State prison at San Quentin, but we behieve there is an understand ing between them and the prose cution that they will be pardoned and brought into court as wit nesses against others who will be charged with the same and! other offenses. Joseph M. Brown has come out victorious as the gubernato rial candidate in Georgia. He succeeds Hoke Smith who suc ceeded him. They have a queer way of doing things over the Savannah river, they elect a governor overwhelmingly one year, and the very next time they beat him out of his boots, then turn around and put him oack. Because Senator Tiliman de clined to allow a hack driver to extort fr-om him double fare, some of the South Carolina newspapers charge him with being small. The Senator has been living in Washington a long time, and it supposed he knows the usual charge for public hacks, and if a cabby attempted to impose upon him he did right in refusing to submit to it. Be cause a man gets $623. a month from the treasury is no reason why be should submit to extor tion, and we think it silly on the part of South Carolina news papers to criticize the Senator for refusing to be held up by a cab driver.____ Deafness Cannot be CureL by localappihcations. as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in named condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets Inflam ed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear ing. and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition.hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which Is nothing but an inulamed condition of the mu cous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can not be cured by Hairs Catarrh Cure. Send for ciclrf- J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo. 0 Sold by drusgists. Ec.
