He should be thankful that the word is no1 '"Whi?(e)ish." It would not bo American-like if Uncle Sam doesn't get up a boat that will down the speec record of the British shir Lusitania made last'week. "Why should not the farmers get 15 cents per pound for theii /cotton," asks the Times anc Democrat. After due reflcctior we have reached the conclusior that the one and only possiblt reason is that the buyers may refuse to pay this price. The town of Spencer, North Carolina, is having a touch oi adversity on account of the recent rate legislation in thai State. A few days ago 150 em ployees of the big Southerr Railway shops at Spencer wen laid off for an indefinite perioc in order that the company mighl meet expenses under the neu conditions. There is constant demand foi the boy or young man of sobei habits and a will to do things. At present there is demand foi at least a half-dozen young fellsws of this sort in the business houses in this place. There arc plenty of boys available foi these places, but our business men are not looking for cigarette fiends, rowdies, etc., to wait oi the trade. They want honest, sturdy young fellows who car be depended upon. The election here Saturday on the subject of a high schoo created little interest among th< voters of the town. It wa: generally believed that the elec lion would result, as it did. ir favor of the school, and those who opposed the proposition kept the matter strictly t< themselves, evidently taking the view that if the school was es tablished and proved undesirablt it could be voted out. There w> re only 18 votes cast, 15 fo: and 3 against the high school. In an article headed "Yorl Baptist Association," which i: credited to the Yorkville En uuirer, the Rock Hill Recor< cays, "In the cake-walk Mr dames Drennan and Mrs. Si< Williford were the successfu winners of the first cake pre r.ented. Miss Maud Blanks ant Miss Alline Cornwell won th< second cake in the next game o cake-walk." To us, the cake walk in a religious meeting ii entirely new and novel. The building of a side-wall along that section of White stree between the freight depot ant Sprattville looks to us like a use less expenditure of the town'; funds, as the walk is not needed There is only one family, ant that colored, living thereon, an< residents of Sprattville invaria bly use the railroad tracks to am from their homes. The railroa< furnishes much better travel an< there is little reason to believ< that the new street will be use< by even a few. Then too, th< sidewalk takes up a considerable portion of the ground which ha heretofore been used by the cot ton buyers as a place to stacl .cotton preparatory to shipmen and these men will now have t look up new quarters. Th< money expended in the gradinj pf this street could have beei spent to a great deal better ad vantage in curbing some of thi washes on other streets of th< town. Prof. John G. Clinkscales, o Wofford College is announced a a candidate to succeed Asbur; C. Latimer as United State senator from this State, and it i claimed by the friends of th< Spartanburg educator that hi has an excellent chanee to win We are not acquainted witl pither of the gentlemen furthe than the notoriety gained througl the newspapers of the State ari< while we have not looked witl favor upon Senator Latimer' attempt to obtain a lot of frei advertising in the nature o correspondence while abroad and not questioning the abilit: of Prof. Clinkscales, we ave the opinion that the latter wil discover his mistake when th< returns are in. It will be re membered that the Hon. Johi C. Hemphill, of Charleston, ; member of the Fourth Estat than whom there is no abler ex ponent of good, sound doctrine Was formally announced sonv days ago, and who wiil doubt less make his presence keenl; felt in the next campaign. A The bird law passed Hby the last legislature is the cause of much concern and discussion among the sportily inclined of j this community. Upon this subject, as upon all others in? in which the genera! public is * effected, there are wide differen, ces of opinipn. Some claim that the law is perfectly right in prohibiting non-residents the right j to hunt without a license, while others look upon the law as de" priving one of a personal right, j I In that he cannot invite a friend b from another State to hunt upon [ his lands. The numerous dis; cuasions upon the subject, how ever, have no effect and those p who object to the law have slim I chance to alter the same or re- ! taliate. Additional information; j upon the subject of non-resident [ sportsmen entering the State, 1 and that which has been given > little notice heretofore, is given by the president of the State Audubon Society in answer to an inquiry as to whether a non\ resident may hunt upon his own I land in this State without license. . The president of the society ret fers the inquirer to Section 8, j act of 1907, which says non-residents who desire to hunt in any part of the State shall procure a license in the manner provided by the Act and this applies to all P non-residents who wish to hunt [ in this State whether on their 1 own lands or the lands of others. Aside from our duty in aiding 1 in the launching of any enter* prise which seeks to further the 1 town's interests and welfare of t its people, The Times feels it a 1 special duty to impress, if possible, upon the people, and especially the young men of the comr munity, the good to be derived r through the successful operation , of the newly organized Peprpet* ual Building and Loan Associa tion. The building and loan is > the means by which scores of s working men have been able, * where they so desired to provide s themselves with comfortable res; dences. while others have laid 11 aside ample sums of money to , engage in profitable business en1 terprises and are now on the road to wealth. The payments in the association are so arranged r that the workingman, whether 1 his wages be large or small, can ; keep ud his stock with but little 3 inconvenience or self-denial. In . the Perpetual the payments be! come due, 50 cents per share, ? every other Saturday, and there 't are but few young men in the 3 community who could not carry 3 from three to ten or fifteen shares I without feeling to any noticeable : degree the obligation incurred. 1 Not only does such an association t. offer an excellent opporiunity of laying aside a competence, but it proves a blessing to the town and a benefit to all. The funds \ collected are invested by the s stockholders in erecting homes 7 and establishing other business enterprises, all of which aid in ; enhancing property values and | creating a progressive spirit. It is a pleasure to-note that the 7 young men of the community are subscribing liberally for stock P in the Perpetual, and there is every reason to expect much " good as a result of the new ors ganization. Officers Elected for B. and L. c ? t The stock holders of the Per1 petual Building and Loan Asso ciation met in the Commercial s Club Rooms Tuesday afternoon . at four o'clock and the following I directors were elected: W. B. i Mcacham, J. B. Mills, J. M. - Spratt, J. H. McMurray, L. A. 1 Harris, A. O. Jones and* J. L. 1 Spratt. After the adjournment I of the stockholders' meeting the e directors met and elected the 1 following officers: VV. B. Meach2 am, President, J. H. McMurray, e Vice-President and J. L. Spratt, s Secretary and Treasurer. It was found that the capital 1c stock of $50,000 had been overt subscribed, and it was decided o to increase the capitaliz&Lion to e $60,000. 7 The membership fee was fixed n at fifty cents to cover cost of - books etc., and Saturday, Sepe tember the 20th was the day set e for the first payment on the stock. The Bridge is Satisfactory. f s Supervisor L. J. Perry, of y Lancaster, ana supervisor T. VV. s Boyd, of York, met the latter s part of last week in Indian Land e to inspect the new bridge just q completed between the two counties. It was found that the (i | work was done according to r plans and specifications. The ti bridge is 350 feet long, 130 feet I being of steel.

Since the passage of the denatured alcohol bill at the last session of congress, removing the tax on alcohol which is so treated as to make it unfit for use as a beverage, it would seem that our farmers should begin to take advantage of ther opportunities, says the Charlotte Observer. Of course, no such roseate conditions obtain as those pictured by the propagandists prior to the passage of the law, but there is no reason why the waste upon the farms which is convertible into alcohol should not be made to yield reasonable returns. Alcohol, whether denatured or otherj wise, cannot be manufactured I out of old barrel hoops, brickbats and cast away shoes, but it can be made from decaying vegetable matter, such as beets, potatoes j and other starch or sugar vegetable. According to an ariicle in the daily consular report by Coni sul General R. P. Skinner, of Marseilles, some French manu| facturers are making a still, which can be manipulated by the average farmer, at a cost of $30.88. The still consists of a ontct null iuiiliicc ana Hierooic and accessories and has a boiler capacity of 264 grallons. The same combination is offered in ali sizes up to a boiler capacity of 644.17 gallons, worth $388. Mr. Skinner further says that the same manufacturers make portable stills, the boiler capacity of the smallest 52.83 gallons, selling i for $225. Our Murder Record For 1906. The Richmond News-Leader makes this interesting, though somewhat startling, ovservation of the murders committed in this State during the past year: "South Carolina again comes to the front with a record of 303 homicides for the year 1906. This, we believe, is an increase of about eighty over the year before. Students of the liquor problem will be interested and confounded to know that the State has tried open barrooms, confining the liquor traffic to the cities and towns, the dispensary system and prohibition and the murder record has continued tc increase steadily. Yet, during twenty years newspapers and preachers and prominent men in the State have been working patiently and fearlessly to arouse public sentiment to the point oi making murder unfashionable and dangerous. One South Carolina paper now points out that the State last year had twenty homicides for every 100,000 inhabitants and one for every twenty-nine nours of the year; whereas, in Maine the record is but one homicide a year to each 100,000 inhabitants. The facts present a problem which is straining the thinking apparatus ol Palmetto statesmen and publicists apparently without result." Orphans' Work-Day. Brethren of the press, please tell the tidings to everybody ir the State that Orphan-work Day falls in this month of September. And that means that everybody will set apart a day in this month to help the orphan institutions with their wages or salary or income for that day. For the Sunday School children, Saturpay the 21st, or if more convenient the 28th is fixed. Cotton will be ready for picking and it will be easy to make a day of it. Collections on the Sabbath following. But this day is not foi children only. Old folks make more money than children and money is what the orphans must have for their education. Ir the various institutions of the a? i? ^ - . oiaw, uL-iiuiiucia upun v/nnsuan men and women for support there are hundreds of orphans; the Thornwell Orphanage at Clinton, S, C. has 250; the Epworth Orphanage at Columbia has nearly 200, and the Connie Maxwell at Greenwood has more than that number. All these need help. And there are others It is hoped that September will result in great good to the orphans. It will be if all lend a helping hand. But let each reader of these lines say "it does ' not matter what others are doing, : I am going to send my help and give my day's work," and depend upon it, our fatherless children will be better off for it. - Mrs. R.
