FORT MILL. S. C.. OCTOBER ?. 1910.
Victory Seems Certain.
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.

reduced in price.
