FORT MILL. S. C.. MAY 26. 1910.
The Rallying Cry.
Champ Clark's speech in the
national house of representatives
Saturday was worthy to be the
key-note of the Democratic congressional
campaign. In his
speech the minority leader ex- j
josed the insincerity of the Republican
claims that the tariff
benefits the workingman. He
brought out with forceful satire !
and stinging humor the weak
points in Mr. Taft's so-called
administration policy with regard
to the tariff. That speech
should go a long way towards |
convincing the doubters in the j
party that Democracy's hope
lies in a vigorous and concentrated
campaign on the evils of
Lilt; iiign protective system.
Pointing out the joints in the
armor of interests, Mr. Clark has
given the party a rallying cry
not a nev one, by any means, j
but one which is calculated to
unite the best elements of his
party.
Several straws recently have
given a clear indication of the
way the political wind is blow-1
ing. The growing discontent in
the West, which has resulted in
the powerful insurgent movement,
has already caused much
apprehension in the camp of the
Republicans. Despite Mr. Taft's
urgent pleas for the tariff, the
independent thinkers of the
West, who comprise a considerable
portion of the voting power
in that section, have discovered
the jokers in the Payne-Aldrieh |
biil, and- they are calling for
reform. They have seen through
the Republican claim, they
realize that the revision promised
by the Chicago convention has
proved a thing a thing of shreds
and patches most of the fragments
of which it is composed
being inserted at the dictates of
the Payne-Aldrich coterie, the
representatives 01 tne vested
iuterests, Wall street.
In the East, too, the tariff
agitation has assumed very
serious proportions. The victory
of Mr. Foss in a normally Republican
New England district,
gained on the tariff issue, shows
the strength of the reform idea.
Mr. Havens' election in New
York, over the Republican boss,
Aldridge, proves that the element
of corruption in the Republican
party, as exposed at the AlldsConger
bribe inquiry in Albany,
has sickened the decent people
of the Empire State.
With all these factors making
for Democratic success, with the
Republicans discordant, the time
is ripe for a determined battle on
the tariff issue. By holding fast
to its tariff for revenue only
ideals, the Democratic party may
well hope to achieve notable
Vlftfiripe in thti jinnirroooinnQl
elections this fall. It may even
hope to secure control of the
house, a momentous consummation.
Restricted Primary Defeated.
The advocates of the proposed
restricted Democratic primary,
which would allow only qualified
voters to participate in the selection
of the party nominees,
do not seem to know when they
are beaten. They should pinch
themselves and wake up. Overwhelmingly
routed in the State
convention last week, they yet
indulge the hope that the small
vote they were able to muster is
an augury of ultimate success for
their scheme; and we are assured
that the undertaking they
are pleased to term a campaign
for "a more enlightened citizen- ;
ship" is only begun. Meanwhile;
it is not amiss to note the headway
the campaign has thus far
made. With several prominent
newspapers and a considerable
number of well known politicians
striving with might and main to
influence the county conventions (
to indorse the proposal and later '
carrying the matter to the State
convention, they succeeded in
A. 11: i.. 4.1
controlling oniy one-mui me
vote in the latter body. Un- J
less the cause attracts recruits
in greater number in the future
than it has in the past, not for a
generation at least is any white
Democrat apt to be deprived of
the right to participate in the
party primaries.
They have no arguments in
support of their contention which
appeals to popular favor. In the
State convention one of the leading
proponents of the restricted
primary, Mr. John J. McMahan,
of Columbia, said about all there j
is to be said in behalf of driving
thousands of Democrats out of j
the party. His arguments were, j
at best, weak, and were completely
riddled by Mr, Cole L. |
Blease. We are a long way from ;
the restricted primary,

NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COMET j
!
Roanoke Timed.
Good people, be kind enough
to take notice that The Roanoke j
Times has not underwritten or
guaranteed this comet and is in
no way responsible for anything
it does or doesn't do or for where
it goes or doesn't go. It is Mr.
Halley's comet. He went off
and died after he had filed his 1
claim to it and tagged it with
his name and seems not to have
willed it to anybody and to have
left it wandering about in space
to do about as it liked. We
suppose the town constable of
Crawfordsville, Augusta county,
w v,oo oUo.,,* u: 11: .i n
- a., uas aiiuui <t uiiiium UUlliirs
in fines chalked up against it for
running over that town at 20,000 |
miles an hour while the speed
limit there is four miles by a
dollar and a half watch owned
by the municipality, the constable
being employed to wind
the watch and catch automobiles.
But so far as we know, nobody '
else has any claim on the comet
and we doubt whether Crawfordsville
can collect.
Citizens have been telephoning
and writing this office in a most
aggrieved and indignant way
about the comet. The next we
know they will be telegraphing
their protests at our expense.
They seem to think it is our
comet and complain with bitterness
and irritation that it is not
coming up to contract. They
can not see it and do not know
where to look for it and apparently
believe it is our fault.
They have a sneering, contemptuous
way of alluding to it
as if it was the automobile parade
of the Roanoke music festival
week. They say they haven't
seen any tail, haven't felt anything
give and generally want to
know why we don't have the
comet perform or quit talking
about it.
Now, we do not care what thev
say about the comet so they do
not blame it on us. We have
no use for it, anyhow. We half
; suspect it of being mixed up
some way with the meanest,
coldest, most contrary spring in
years and a middle of May frost
that killed the vegetables and
berries and spoiled the fairest
i fruit prospect of a decade. We
l do not want to have anything to
do with it. It has had more
I free advertising and press notices
than anything that ever
came along, except Roosevelt.
We have no interest in the enterprise
and no share in the box
office receipts. If we had our
way we would not play it on an
eighty per cent, basis. It has
disappointed and disgusted everybody,
scared some people nearly
i, _l > i *
iu ueain, caused others to Jose
sleep and been used so much as
an excuse for long poker krames
and staying out all night that
it has become thoroughly disreputable.
Mrs. Kirkpatrick's Porch Party.
One of the most delightful
social events of the season was
the porch party given by Mrs.
T. S. Kirkpatrick to a large
circle of friends at her home on
Booth street Monday afternoon.
An air of genial informality
characterized the occasion and a
j warmth of greeting and good
i fellowship sped the evening all
| too quickly. In the hall quantities
of sweet peas diffused their
fragrance, giving an additional
tone of welcome.
The guests were graciously received
at the door by Mrs. Kirkpatrick,
and were then directed
into the sitting room, where red
rambler roses held sway, by Miss
Christine South, of Greenwood.
Here delicious punch was served
by the hostess' daughter. Miss
Kitty Kirkpatrick. and her
friend, Miss Kitty McMullen, of
Kentucky.
From this room the guests
were invited, by Miss Mary
Boyd, to seats on the spacious
veranda, where they were given
questions to consider and solve
while listening to several piano
selections by Miss Kirkpatrick.
To Miss Lillie Massey was
given the pleasant task of directing
the guests to the dining room,
where pink roses and ferns were
used with artistic effect. Filmy
white net, entwined with smilax,
floated from the chandelier and
held suspended a large garden
hat heaped with pink ramblers,
while on mantel and sideboard
roses of the same delicate pink
were banked amid sprays of |
of their own foliage. Upon the
massive table, covered with an
exquisite piece of handwork,
were tiny sprays of pink roses,
while a cut glass vase held yet
others in the centre. Tempting
ices, cakes and sweets were
served by Misses Isabel and
Jackson Massey,
In the parlor the color scheme
of green and white was carried
out with magnolias and lilies.
Here the guests gathered after
leaving the dining room and
greatly enjoyed a number of!
songs by Mrs. Brown of Salisbury,
guest of Mrs. Jas. Young.
One interesting feature of the
occasion was the appearing, unannounced,
upon the scene of
one lone young man. Burton
Massey, who declared that he
came seeking one young lady, j
but found 4,000 instead.
The evening was greatly enjoyed
by the half hundred and
more guests.
