Entered at thePosto"rce at maing as see oud cla% mh THE MILEAGE BOOK GOES. The recent orders of the rail roads to the azents to discon tinue the mileage books is just what we have been expecting the railroads to do since the legisla ture enacted the law requiring the mileage to be pulled on the trains. When the measure was pending in the general assembly the railroad officials pleaded with the members not to impose this upon them, claiming that it would be impossible for them to carry out the provisions of the Act, and give to their auditing department the proper attention. that it will result in a loss to the roads, cause them great delays in making time, and giving them annoyances in many ways. But the legislature heeded them not, because, there was a clamor ior the change from a number of the traveling men, not all by any means, there were many drum mers who were opposed to the change, and sided with the posi tion of the railroad officials. The -law was enacted to go into effect May lAt.. but it is conceded that the legislature has no power to force the railroads to put on tbe books, this being a matter of bus iness for the management's con sideration altogether, then what good has been accomplished by the change? It has done harm, in that, it deprives many who were willing to accept the rail road regulation to exchange mileage at the office window for a ticket in order to save five dol lars per thousand miles, from getting the advantage of this privilege they have enjoyed, not by force of law, but by a conces sion of the railroad management. We see that Senator Carlisle of Spartanburg, who was the author of the bill tells one of the Spartanburg newspapers the leg islature should at .ts next session adopt a two cent rate. The Sen ator, usually well informed, for gets that 'North Carolina and Virginia had to recede from the two cent position as the courts were against them, and decided that in this section of the coun try a two cent rate is "confisca tory" and therefore unconstitu tional. The next move that will be made, and it is threatened by some of the Drummers, is to re fuse to buy tickets but to pay the conductor on the trains, in this, they expect to bring the railroads to terms, as paying on the trains would greatly confuse, in convenience and hinder the con ductors in proper dispatch of their business; if this game is re sorted to we look for an order to refuse admittance on the tr-ains to persons without tickets, even if the companies have to enclose the stations with fences and have gates for the entrance and exit of passengers. In our judgment the Drummers have made a great error in demanding the change, it has done them no good, but it has been quite costly to the gen eral traveling public-a saving of five dollars out of twenty-five means a whole lot of money to the ordinary traveler. and when they have to go down irnto their pockets for this extra five an other song will be sung. The drummers themselves can not blame anybody but them selves for this condition, they were warned by the railroads that if their demands were granted by the legislatr e the books would most assuredly be taken off, but the drummers would not believe it and said it was a bluff. Well, we guess they have by now reached the con clusion that instead of its being a blaff it is the real thing and they will have to grin and bear it. We know of many travel ling men who contended the de mands by their fellow travellers was unreasonable, that if they really wanted to do service they should give their attention to schedules, comfortable .cars and freight rates, and let the finan cial management be where it be longs-with the railroads, as with every other business, those who invest their money and em pior men to manage know their business better than the man who rides up and down the rail roads as a means of livlihood. TEE STATE CHAIRMAN. A State chairman for the Democratic party is to be chosen by the executive committee to take the place so long and so well held by Geu. Wilie Jones, who has expressed a desire to retire- The position of State chairman is no easy one to till, it is no bed of roses, the recsponsi bility is heavy, and it requires a young active man, one who has the back bon~e to hold the scales with even justice--a pairtisau is not desired. There is no man inl the State who is better- qualiied for the head of the party than Maj. Dan Sinkler-. and we sinl cer-ely hope the committee will place this honor upon him. Major Sinkiler has had a long e-xpe ience with politics. and thr-ou-g out his car-eer no one has ever~( charged him with unfarnss He is an aggressive man, mtli gent, active and above all honest We believe with the c-hairmnan ship in his hands the Democr-atic party will be well taken car-e of. JT;E TF Tr L U., *L1 L L~L T I not w ii 1 h mnasses wi :o: m 1,~iV d tr ence. We- een w the course of cert neisa pers, these are holiering their throats sore against the present governor, they have not under-I taken to show wherein he has been aishonvst. nor have they undertaken to show that he has not stood within his rights as the chief executive. If the present overnor is not entitled to a re 'elea-t it is incumbent on the partof the newspapers that are so it1nt upon defeating him, to make a showing of corrup tion backed up with the proof, unless they do so the average voter will conclude their opposition is based upon his ex pressions against the class of editors |who misrepresented and malined him in the last campaign, and, really not be cause he has violated his trust as governor. It would indeed be refreshing to read a newspaper editorial op posing the present governor which is free from personal feel ing tan devoi of inisrepresenta tion, one dealing with facts and figures showing with reasoniing power that Governor Blease has not conducted the otiice in a be coming manner: we have been readino lots of a)use and whati we know is misrepresentation, but it has not had tile effect to convince us of the sincerity of i the opposition: what the masses would like to be informed upon is not what a gang of newspa per men think of the governor as an individual, but what he has done which was. and is a viola tion of nis proml',s when asking for their votes when a candidate for the office. And too, the peo-1 ple would like to have the infor I mation if it can be procured, as I to whether or not the governor I has administered the duties of his great office dishonestly: this is what the people prefer to know rather than to be told of the per sonal feeling that exists betw veen the governor arid some of the press which has heretofore had a strong hand in shaping the pol icies for other chief executives. We are sure the majority of the people resented the methods of some newspapers two years ago, and unless there is a more ration al policy observed in the coming primary the fight is all over ex cept the shouting, and their re i cently adopted idol will be smash ed. THE INSPECTION ACT. Trhe address of Dr. J. W. Jer vey, President of the South Car olina Medical A ss oei at io n charges the veto of the school! medical inspection Act as politi cal demagogy, and he practically charges the physicians in the' general assembly with treachery for voting against the measure, and sustaining the vote. Our recollection of this Act is tha it was vetoed because of its in adequacy, and not because of op position to pr-otection for the health of the school children. The governor in his veto pointed out wher-ein the Act was insuffi cient, and if we remember cor rectly lie advised its being amended so as to make it effec tive rather than a measure to merely provide positions for a class of physicians who were either incapacitated for general practice or who were just out of the colleges with nothing more than a diploma and a swell-head. The Act as passed was crude and without any power of enforce mnent, it permitted the meddling with the rights of parents, and was calculated to arouse antago nisms in communities. It also provided for the pay of these physicians appointed to inspect to get their salaries from the school fund, and it is known to all men that the school funds are not sufficient to run the average school for the regular school tern;. We are satisfied the next legislature will enact a law that will provide for such medical re quirements as the schools can afford, but tile Act complained of by the head of the medical association will never become a law. In our opinion, for the pro tection of the schools from dis eases the tr-ustees can formuliate rules and regulations best 'uited to their communities they can require doctor's certiticate be fore a chid is permitted to en rollment, this can be done with out extr a cost to the taxpayers, and without arousing antcago nim The family physician is etter qualified to say whether a child is in proper physical con dton to enter a school than a doctor who goes through a scool to make a perfunctory in spection. Th iedcitorials in tile newspa pers on the .Fitanic disaster if pulish'ied in book form would make at magniticent volume for future genIeration1s to read. HE CANNOT DO IT. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt is ported to have said that if he s nominated he will tight to L)reak the solid South. Col. Ioosevolt has surprised the :;untrv by his progress in his :ight for the Republican nomai 'aation. He started late and over Zreat odds, that he has suc :eeded in making the inroads be ias is simply wonderful, but xh'en he assumes the task of areaking the solid South it is iother proposition, one that he Lill be compelled to acknowl Ldge is impossible. There is no loubt that there are many in the South in sympathy with the principles of the Republican party, but conditions are such they cannot affoid to break away from the Democratic party; the party in the South is more of a white man's party than a party of political issues, therefore, as long as the negro has a voice in the politics of this country we do not believe it is possible to make an indenture into it. In somE of the Southern States there is a strong element of Re publicans. notably in Georgia and North Carolina, and if the congress ta-kes off the tariff on sugar Louisianna may become discontented to the extent as to have the nucles of a Republican party in that State, but regard less of the discontent the party will remain in tact and Col. Roosevelt with all of his mag netism and his political shrewd ness can never break the solidity of the South. WILL THERE BE A DARK HORSE? Congressman Gardiner of Mas sachusetts is after Colonel Roose velt fast and strong to get him into a joint debate, but the Col. will have none of it. We pre sume the Col. is too busy copping votes for the national conven tion to take up time with rag chewing with a congressman who is doing all in his power to lead him off the trail, but the great hunter knows his biz and will not be made to drop the substance for the shadow. When Col. Rooselvelt fired his sombrere into the ring it was so late in the game that we had no idea he-stood a ghost of a chance for the Repulican nomination, but if he misses the prize he will at least have the satisfaction of having been the cause of Taft's defeat. The mix-up in the Re publican party is such that in our opinion, if Taft or Roose velt is nominated, the Republi can party cannot win at the polls, both factions will tight each other, and either one would rather see a Democrat in the white house than for either Taft or Roosevelt to occupy it. The dog-in-the-manger-spirit has tak - en a strong hold upon both fac tions of the Republican party,. and its only chance for redemp tion is a compromise by which a dark horse will be entered for the contest. Senator Sullivan of Anderson, disclaims saying what the gover nor said was reported he had said with regard to shoveling coal, etc. Now Senator did you not think something of the kindI even if you did not give expres sion to the thought? Whether Senator Sullivan used the actual words attributed to him or not, if he will think a little he will recall many words that he did use which were equally as bad, but then he had a reason, his nephew was defeated by Blease. If Senator Sullivan will think a moment he will remember an invitation he asked another mem ber of the senate to deliver to the governor which was to go to the place where it is said there is much heat, but the senator declined to carry the invitation, preferring that Senator Sullivan go in person to extend such an impious invitation. The chamber of cormerce of Summer has gotten out a very neat folder which it is sending ut all over the United States and Wedgefield as an advertise ment. The folder was print ad by the Matthews-Northrup Works in Cleveland Ohio. Of :ourse the readers of the folders wi ask why does not Sumter et a printing establishment to g~o along with the enterprises that city is advertising? Man ing got up a folder once con taing the advertisements of our merchants, it was printed else-' where and when it arrived the amerchants disclaimed a guilty knowledge of its existence. and we think most of these folders re now quietly hiding them selves underneath the counters, that is to say, those which have ct found their way to the trash heap. Mor-al: It does not pay to send out advertisements with a for-eign imprint. Advertising is not effective which does not natonize the home town.

Smith the bill introduced by him which pro poses to end the discrimination against the cottou growers of the South, and which he believes vill prove of great benetit to them. Senator Smith is always to be depended upon to look after Southern interests, he has made a reputation in Washington along this line, and when there are matters fo-r consideration in the greatest law-making body in the world he is regarded author ity and his judgment is sought after. The following is the text of the bill he has succeeded in having passed through the sen ate, and he is confident it will get through the house: Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the Director of the Census be, and he is hereby, authorized and direct ed to collect and publish, in connection wish the ginners' report of cotton pro duction provided in section nine of an Act of Congress entitled "An Act to provide for a permanent Census Office," approved March sixth, nineteen hun dred and two, statistics of the number of bales of cotton consumed in manu facturing establishments of every char acter, the number of bales owned by such manufacturing establish ments, and the number of bales exported. The stat istics shall be collected and published in the same manner and under the same rules and regulations as the ginners' re ports are co!lected and published, ex cept that the statistics herein provided for shall be collected and published monthly, and duringthe months when the Census Bureau publishes ginners' report. The statistics herein provided for shall be published at the same time and in the same manner that the month ly ginners' report is pubiished. SEC. 2. That Lbe Director of the Cen sus shall raraish to the Bureau of Stat istics of the Department of Agriculture, immediately prior to the publication of each report of that bureau regarding the cotton crop, the statistics hereinbe fore mentioned. and the said Depart ment of Agriculture shall publish the same in connection with each of its re ports concerning cotton. SEC. 3. That the joint resolution ap proved February fifth, nineteen hun dred and five, also the joint resolution. approved March second, nineteen hun dred and nine, and all other laws and parts of laws inconsistent with the pro visions of this resolution are hereby re pealed. Amend the title so as to read: "Joint resolution authorizing and directing the Director of the Census to collect r.A publish cotton-zinners' statistics." Some time ago we said there may be a third candidate for governor to be voted for in the coming primary, and from what we have recently heard we still be lieve there will be. It has come to us that efforts are being made to persuade ;, gentleman into the running, who should he consent to make the race will be an acti ve' force and there will be great changes all along the line. This gentlem.an is not identified with either of the factions now in the limelight, and if he throws his hat into the ring he will make his appeal to the voters of the State on reform lines, his plat form will be altogether business. the reduction of taxation and the improvement of the primary schools. The gentleman referred to is well known throughout the State as a successful business man, has the full confidence of the people, and when he speaks the people will listen. Dan. J. Joyce, Sanville, Va., is so glad he escaped consumption and re gained his health, that he writes about it for the benefit of others. "I had a cough wvhich hung on for two years when I began using Foley's Honey and Tar Compound. 1 kept on until the cough Snally left me and 1 gained in weight from 113 to 185 pounds. In two vears I have grown strong and healthy, all from the use of Foley's Honey and Tar Compound, which cured me." Dick son Drug Store. GIBBONS MILL. Editmor The Ma-nningnTimes: Farrring in on the boom. to bacco is being transplanted, cot ton planted, corn planted, and in fact, busy is the word now. Miss Emnmie Reese spent the week end with friends here. On April 14th Miss Sallie Player and Mr. Morris, both of of this seetion, were married by Rev. Gibbons. Some one went out with lady friend in an auto, but borrowed a mule and buggy to take her back home. There's~ to be another mar riage soon. Guess. Mrs. Jno. Coker is away visit: ing her daughter, Mrs. Hamp Morris. Mr. Mike Robinson's Sabbath School class (consisting of one) is making good progress. Fishermen are busy and are real lucky. Dr. DuPre Vassar passed through here on his way home from the medical college in At lanta. We congratulate him and wish him much success. Commeucement exercises of the Hicks School will be held on May 16th. I hear there is being prepared an interesting pro ram. On the 18th of May the school invites all friends to join them in a picnlic at Hudson mill.
