THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 5, 1908.
Mr, Bryan Defeated
The latest returns from the
J en.-.? ' " ?T '
uwuuciiH o4.ai.cs 01 rne iNortn
indicate that MP. Bryan is defeated.
This result of the presidential
election is nothing short
of a calamity, and before the
four years of the Republican
administration which will be
inaugurated next March is at an
end the people of the North are
certain to rue the day they
turned the "Peerless" Nebraskan
down.
We shall have more to say of
the election next week, when
the result is definitely known.
Party Loyalty or Perjury.
We imagine that those who
are acquainted with the shifty
f>olilical convictions of the Yorkv)lle
inquirer were neither surprised
j?or disappointed to read
in a late issue of that paper an
editorial attempting to justify
iwlependentism in South Carolina
politics, the editorial being
baaed upon the unsupported contention
that the primary system
of selecting the Democratic nomijiess
is corrupt.
"If the primary system is to
last," says The Enquirer, "it
has cot to he reformed and Went
clean," because "there are in
South Carolina, to her credit, be
it said, thousands of good men
who cannot, under any circumstances,
be compelled to cast
their ballots for a man they know
to be absolutely unworthy."
(Parenthetically, it might be observed
that it would be an innovation
to knock a man dovvn,
then drag him feet foremost to
the ballot box apd force him to
vote against his will.)
This paper js pleased to believe?and
we are confident that
its bel\e/ ?s shared by an overwhelming
majority of the Democrats
in the State?that no fairer
system of selecting party
nominees has ever been devised
,than that afforded by the South
Carolina primary. Equally certain
are we that the system is
neither corrupt as a whole (as
The Enquirer charges) nor to
any appreciable extent. In all
probability the Enquirer could
pot cite a single instance of votebuying,
intimidation or ether
illegal practice which came within
its observation in connection
with the primary if it were
haled into court and forced to
submit the^. proof of its charges.
With The Enquirer the trouble
seems to be that it has been so
uniformily unsuccessful in its
efforts to influence the people
in behalf of this or that officeseeker
that it would damn the
whole primary system because
the people do not look to it to
tell them how to vote.
There is no foundation on
yvhich to base the statement
that there are thousands of good
men in South Carolina who cannot
be compelled to vote for an
unworthy man, at least these
thousands are not here as bolters
from the Democratic primary?
%the attitude in which The Enquirer
would present them.
There are of course many men
in the State who would not relish
voting for ar.y candidate whose
reputation was not good; but if
placed between the upper and
nether millstones of yoting for
the undesirable candidate, after
having participated in the r>ri
pviry in which he was nominated
and taking an oath to support
the nominee of that primary, or
willfully stultifying and perjuring
themselves by disregarding
t he oath, these same good citize
is would waive their personal
preferences in the matter and
support the party nominee,
knowing that it was only a matter
of time until an opportunity
would be presented to vote the
unworthy official out of office.
Happily for our State the undesirable
citizen is elevated to
public office so seldom that there
is Jittle or no just cause forcompjajpt
agaiij^t the primary sys\
wn
r
tern on thai score. The Yorlcville
Enquirer has placed itself j
in J,he unenviable position ol'
condoning perjury.
Our fnrmpps shnnlit vhicp cjif_
ficient corn to supply themselves
and their neighbors with sound
meal and hominy. The new disease,
pellagra, a kind of insani
ity, is found to be caused by
, eating unsound meal and hominy.
| At present there are about twen- '
j ty victims of the disease in the
! State insane asylum at Columbia,
I and during the past year there
: have been thirty-seven deaths
' from the disease. Medical experts
are now busy trying to dis- ,
cover a cure /or pellagra, but,
since a preventive is better than
a cure, our people could profitably
adopt the plan of eating less!
. Western corn meal and hominy.
Cultivate the Saving Habit.
Here is a piece of good advice
; culled from the columns of one
of our exchanges:
j "In starting out to make our
| fortune we should remember
i that a fortune cannot be made in
i a few years. We should be satis:
fied if we are making a living
! and saving only a few dollars
j each month. If we save twenty
dollars a month that is two huni
forty dollars a year and in thirty
years we would have about ten
thousand dollars. This is far
more than the average man;
makes in a life time, but qII !
could save this much by proper
efforts. If we spend our time in
waiting and wishing for the
j things that others have we will
: never have anything and our
I mu ds will be so diseased that
we could not handle even a small '
amount of money to advantage.
Industry, frugality and honesty \
will make your life happy and !
prolitable."
Think Logue Should Be Pardoned.
A number of influential citizens
of Charlotte have become)
interested in behalf of Edward
Logue, now serving a term on
the chaingang of Mecklenburg, I
and will ask Governor Glenn fori
a pardon for the prisoner.
Newspaper readers are familiar
with the trial of Logue;
and Charles Riggs in criminal
court at Charlotte about one year
ago. They were found guilty of
stealing the horse and buggy
j of Mr. Henry C. Dotger from
the First Presbyterian church
i yard one Sunday morning while
' preaching services were in ses- ,
| sion and driving to Fort Mill,
i where they left the team and
boarded a train. They were
later arrested at Columbia, and
! imprisoned. When brought to
j trial at Charlotte the defendants
conducted their own cases and
each addressed the jury.
The grounds upon which the
petitioners will ask for Logue's '
pardon are that he had no inteni
tion of committing larceny. It
is believed the pardon will be
granted.
A Warning to Milliners.
The South Carolina branch of i
the Audubon Society lias commenced
a crusade against the
proprietors of millinery stores
| who oiler for sale the feathers
of non-game birds. The first
blow was struck in Columbia the
I past week, when the proprietor ,
of a well known millinery store ;
was haled into court and convicted
before a magistrate on
the charge of olfering for sale a :
hat trimmed with a heron
feather. The proprietor plead
. guilty, and a fine of $2 was im,
posed.
It is not known whether the
Audubon Society intends to take
-similar proceedings against all
I millinery establishments in the
J State that offer for sale -Tints
trimmed with non-game birds'
. feathers or not. If the society
i undertakes to enforce the law
through the entire State, it is
; likely that many proprietors of .
millinery stores may be haled into
court.
Big Seizure of Rock Hill Liquor.
A special from Mooresville,
N. C., to The Charlotte Observer
, of Wednesday morning contained
the following:
Deputy Sheriff J. M. Deaton
IK lml.4 i nor ~
.<viv Kvuigub i/wyj ? anions
containing about 3 00 or 400
gallons of whiskey. Part of the
whiskey is marked G. A. Thompson,
Rock Hill, S. C., and part
.of it is without marks. The
drivers, one white man and one
; negro, the white man gi\ing his
name as O. R. Young, claim
that they are on their way to
Rock Hill. Mr. Deaton com- j
municated with the authorities
at Rock Hill this afternoon over
the long distance telephone and
they advise that no such parties
j are known there. He endeavored
to get the deputy collector at
; Statesville but was unable to
| get him at a late hour tonight.
The drivers say that they were
told to come to Mooresville and
turn toward the west and cross
the Catawba river, which would
have put them in Catawba and
Lincoln counties, and the general
opinion is that U>ey are not on
their way to South Carolina.
S gE 3fflD
Taft the M Presides!, j
Republican Candidate Carries Doubtful
States and is Elected by Overwhelming
Majority.?Joe Cannon is
Re-Elected.
Returns from throughout the
country up to an early hour this
(Wednesday) morning show that
Taft has been elected president
with 30(> votes, while Bryan has
received only 177 electoral votes.
No change is indicated in the |
complexion of the national house
of representatives.
Charles E. Hughes has been1
re-elected governor of New York i
by about 76,000 plurality.
Taft has apparently carried'
all of the doubtful States except
Nebraska, which is claimed by
the Republicans, but which may
show a small Democratic nhi
ruiity by final returns.
In New York State Taft gets a
majority of about 100,000, the
city of New York voting: for hi211
a plurality of about 11.000.
Ohio is also in the Republican
column by from 50,000 to 75,000.
Speaker Cannon has been reelected
by his usual majority.
North Carolina has elected
Kitchin (Democrat) governor by
a majority of 45,000.
Returns from Florida show a
Republican gain in the State of t
20,000 over the election of 1904.
The Solid South remains un- 1
broken.
The Cohen Crop of ICO Years Ago.
David Ramsey, M. D., wrote a
history of South Carolina covering
the period from 1670 to 1803,
and the book was published for
the author at Charleston in 1809.
Concerning the cotton crop of
that period the history says:
"So much cotton is now made
in Carolina and Georgia that, if
the whole was manufactured in
the United States, it would go
far in clothing a great portion of
the Union; for one laborer can
raise as much of this commodity
in one season as will afford the
raw material for 1,500 yards of
common cloth, or a sufficiency for
covering 150 persons."
The Greenville News figures it
out that the total amount of cotton
raised then was about 150,000
bales. It is therefore interesting
to reflect on the development
which has taken place in the cotton
industry during the century.
The Maryland Way of Road Building.
Ten years ago the building of
good roads in Maryland was begun
by the state geological survey,
says the New York Sun.
rne results were an object lesson
to the people, who were so
impressed with the advantages
of scientifically constructed highways
that they were heartily in
favor of the bond issue of $5,000,000
authorized by the legislature
last winter. The new fund is to
be used in the making of 1.000
miles of highways throughout
the State within the next five
years.
So Maryland is to expend
$1,000,000 a year in building
these main arteries for wagon
transportations. The personnel
of the new commission cf six
members seems to assure the
judicious expenditure of the
money. The State geological
survey is represented on the
commission by its director, Dr.
VV. B. Clarke; by Governor
Crothers, and by President
Remsen of Johns Ilopkin. The
commission is laying out the
1000-mile system, and the construction
of the entire work will
be in charge of the engineers of
the geological survey. There
was a very loud demand from
the press of Maryland, from the
business associations of Baltimore,
and from the agricultural
societies for wise conservation
of this fund, so that every dollar
of it might contribute fully to
the economic purpose in view;
and there is no reason to doubt
that the fund is properly safeguarded
against political manip
UUIUUI1.
Twenty years ago we seemed
a century behind Europe in this
important phase of civilization.
Now many of our state3 are
carrying out well-devised plans
for road improvement. Good
highways are money savers.
By turning a very poor road into
a line highway we reduce the
cost of haulage by from 5 to 7
cents a ton a mile. We still
have wagon roads as poor as
some in China, where the cost
of coal freightage is so high
that the commodity cannot be
carried to a market over twentylive
miles away

of Yorkville, S. C., arrived in

When a splinter has been
driven deep into the hand, it can ;
be extracted without paint by
steam, says the November Wo-j
man's Home Companion. Nearly
fill a wide-mouthed bottle with i
hot water, place the injured part
over the mouth of the bottle, and '
press lightly. The suction will
draw the flesh down, and in a
minute or two the steam will
extricate the splinter and the
