The opening of the last month before the State and congressional elections of 1910 finds the Democracy unitedly fighting Republicanism all down the line and confident of a great victory on November 8 which will equal if indeed it does not exceed that of 1890. Not a single incident has occurred in the elections held this year to give the Republican party hope of maintaining control of the national house of representative's* and in a dozen or more States which now have Republican governors and Legislatures indications point strongly to Democratic ascendency. Beginning with the by-election for a successor to Congressman De Armond of Missouri some months ago, every test of strength thus far between the two parties has recorded tre menuous Democratic gains. In Massachusetts, in New York, in Maine and in Arizona there has been a landslide to the Democracy which portends defeat far and wide for the party that has for so many years held control of the government by making fair promises to the people which were never fulfilled and which'were never intended to be fulfilled, for the Republican party lives, moves and has its being in selfishness and insincerity. It is (he party of a thieving tariff which permits the trusts to "steal from the poor man under the guise of law, and it fosters, urges and protects the domination of monopoly, plunder, fraud, prodigality and bribery. The people have no stomach for further Republican hypocrisy and are only awaiting the election on November 8 to restore control of the house of representatives to the Democracy, the only party in the country honest enough to have a care for the people's interests. Asking Something for Nothing. The Times hopes that the State fair soon to he held in Columbia will be a success, but it does not purpose to make financial sacrifices to help the fair succeed. Within the last week 20 inches of advertising matter were sent to this office by the press agent of the fair society with the request that it be run in these columns. Not a word was said by the agent about paying for the advertising, although the statement is made, seemingly authoritatively, that an appropriation is annually set aside by the society for newspaper publicity. It is fair to assume, therefore, that it was the purpose of the agent to welsh The Times, and perhaps other weekly papers. This sort of effort to "beat" a newspaper out of its due is contemptible and unworthy a great society that is, or should be, trying to promote the agricultural and mechanical welfare of the State. Napoleon Bonaparte Broward. It is a long way from cook and roustabout on a river tug to membership in the United States senate, but the trip was made by Napoleon Bonaparte Broward, senator-elect from Florida, who died in Jacksonville Saturday. The death of Mr. Broward puts a period to the career of a man whose rise in public life is nothing short of remarkable. Truly he was, as the .press dispatches tell us, a good example of the self-made man. As a boy in the early '70s, Mr. Broward lost his i father and mother. Left in the ' world without a competency, he J was forced to earn a livelihood as best he could. Cook and roustabout on a river tug is not an attractive vocation, but it had no terrors for young Broward. He saw in the work an oppor; tunity to support himself. Besides, he was illiterate and had the good sense to realize that he could perform only manual labor. So for several vears he helrl fn the job, meanwhile devoting his spare months to fitting himself i for a life of greater usefulness. Next he was employed as a river pilot and captain. When the war with Spain came on he purchased a third interest in a filibustering craft, which on one occasion he I ran into Havana harbor despite the presence of the Spanish menof-war. After the war closed he was elected sheriff of Duval county. Then he was sent to the Legislature and at the expiration of his legislative career served four years as governor. Last June he defeated James P. Taliaferro for the United States senate. His term of service would have begun March 4, 1911. He would have attracted attention in the senate if "his thread of life had not so soon decayed." Otis Accuses Unions. So far there has been no evidence upon which to base the charge that the destruction of the-Los Angeles Times building Saturday was the work of organized labor. It is true that there has long been a bitter fight on between the labor unions and the owner of the paper, (len. 1 Harrison Otis, but in this fact alone there is not sufficient evidence to incriminate the unions, ji For years Otis has been the inveterate foe of organized labor, !( uciiyinK wuraingmen me right to organize for mutual advance-. ment and protection, though always and ever cheerfully conceding capital the right to combine to oppress labor. Otis' feeling for organized labor is . that of an infuriated hull for a j red rag. Nothing was more natural, therefore, than that he should charge the labor unions with the destruction of The Times building. Birmingham! If there are any Rip Van Winkles in the country who imagine that the South is not growing they ought to rub their eyes and read the census returns of the marvelous growth of Birmingham, Ala., during the last decade. In 1900 Birmingham was the home of 38,(MX) people; now ; the population of the city is 132,000, showing an increase for the ten year period ending this year of 94,000. Birmingham's growth is attracting attention throughout the entire country and the I South generally is certain to be benefited from the rapid increase in the city's population. Ii the statement of a well i known citizen of Fort Mill is correct, for some time numerous blind timers have been doing- a flourishing business in this community, though there have been no recent arrests for violation of the liquor laws. The citizen (I noted may or may not have known what he was talking about, but if he has any substantial evidence upon which to base the statement it would seem to be his duty to put the law officers in possession of it. Illicit traffic in liquor cannot he suppressed unless good citizens are willing to testify against the law-breakers. Republican prosperity: Radium reduced in price. "Clean Up or Be Done Up."
