In the presidential election of 1908 the people were Riven to understand that if the Republican party were returned to power there would be a substantial reduction in the tariff. The country took the Republicans at their word and the man Roosevelt selected % for the presidency was successful in the elections. Shortly after the in" * 1 ** - 1fWY L. auguration of fresident laxi m ito uncalled a session of Congress to revist the tariff?not downward, in the intereat of the -people, as the country had been tricked into believing was the intention of the Republican party, but upward, in behalf of the "interests," as is now keenly realized by the consequent copditions which force every one to pay the increased cost for the necessaries of life. In the first nation-wide election following the betrayal of the people as reflected in the Payne-Aldrich tariff law of 1909 the country woke up and chose a Democratic House .01 Representatives. The record of this House for the special session of Congress which met on the 3rd of last April is such as to inspire the belief that the masses of the peopie now know, more than ever before, where to turn for relief from the burdensome conditions, which have grown up under Republican rule. That the cost of living has nst decreased since the De- 1 inocracy regained control of the House in April is due to the veto of the president, who, upon one pretext ano another, nullified the honest efforts of the Democracy to make living conditions easier for the great consuming public. A: But thanks to the wise and successof Ci?.nltur fhamn Clark 1UI icaut & 0ll*p VA L/^VM>iVt W victory for the party of the people in the next presidential election is all but assured. With the Republican party hop* iessly divided into warring factions, denouncing each other as thieves and highbindqty it would seem that nothing but a mirafcle could insure the reelection of President Taft; and as the day of miracles is past the Republican hide is certain to be found hanging in the Democratic- backyard on the morning of the 5th of November, 1912, if our party choose wisely in selecting its nominee. But the wisdom necessary to success will not be displayed if we go to the State of swamps and mosquitoes to find our candidate. To sa\e the feelings of those who are more or less dazzled and therefore blinded by the halo their imagination fancies is doing business in, around and about Woodrow Wilson we grant that he has made a Itetter governor than New Jersey has had in several years. He is a "very " *nn fKo litiuf R p. grvat iiii^iuTcmviiv VII MIV ww? ><v publics governor that State ever had and in ail sincerity we express the hope that he will find easy sledding in thi race for renommation and reelection. But when we come to talk of a Democratic nominee for the presidency oi the United States then our good wishes for Woodrow Wilson are at an end?or, rather, our bad wishes for the Democracy do not begin, in our opinion, ! as certain as cream rises to the top in a bowl of milk, the Democratic party will be beaten next year if Woodrow Wilson is put up as its nominee. Why'/ Because he is not a leader of men; ne is a driver of men. He drove the Legislature of New Jersey into electing Senator Martine, and won a pyrrhic victory, but he cannot urive the electorate of the American Union to the ballot box to vote tor Woodrow Wilson ; for president. It is high time the Democrats of South Carolina were taking an inventory of Woodrow Wilson's worth as a possible presidential candidate, with the view of sending delegations to the State convention next year instructed to vote against an 1 indorsement of his candidacy. Unless ' we would do the bidding of a few newspapers whose aim seems to be to control the South Carolina end of iht Federal patronage in the event of the J? -..j ..f u; i,.,.? iiuyiumuuii anu cicv uuu vi ?i Wilson we would better take to heart consideration of the advisability 01 nominating' the man the Republicans fear most?Champ Clark, of Missouri. The People Thinking for Themselves. It seems a little early in the game to begin hunting excuses for defeated candidates, since tne next primary is more than a year off, but some of the newspapers are already at it. The Spartanburg Journal, for instance, thinks that it ought to be dead easy for Mr. Jones to defeat Governor Blease next fall, but adds that it cannot be done if the anti-Blease newspapers turn their batterieB of denunciation on the 50,000 people who last year matU. Blease governor, and The Journal probably will find use for the j phrase "1 told you so" after the primary next year. There is little doubt ' in our mind that the papers which last year so bitterly opposed Mr. Blease will heap humiliation upon the heads of those who supported him, and we are likewise reasonably sure of the governor's reelection if he stands for the place. But we cannot agree with The Journal that the rantings of the opposing press will be the cause for the defeat of Mr. Blease's opponents in the race. In the campaign of last year, it will be recalled. Governor Blease toid the people what his policy would be if they elected him governor, ani^ since assuming the duties of the office last January he has in the main lived up to those promises. As we see the situaation, the fifty-odd thousand voters who followed the governor to the polls last yesx have-little reason to complain at ( the manner in which the administration is moving along, and, aside from the constant railing of a hostile press, ; little complaint is heard. Unless we , are mistaken, the voters of South Carolina some time ago ceased paying much of attention to what the press saidfar or agaihst..'offT'ce seekers. Nowa- J days people in general Vote according io.tjieir.osrn convistiona, and if. .Candid date Jones or any other man succeeds Governor BLease in 1913, it will be because the people of the State are not pleased with the incumbent and not on account of what uic newspapers may j say against Blcase or those who sup- : ported him. Some of the newspapers which are supporting Woodrow Wilson for the Democratic nomination for president rind it to their liking to habitually re- ! fer to him as "the Scholar in Politics," j as if he were the onlf educated man in the public life of the country. Likely f enough these same papers never heard of the ,"fair" education that Senator John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi, received at public schoob, the Kentucky Military institute, the University of th? South, the University of Virginia, and the University of Heidelberg, in Ger- | many. Woodrow Wilson's education is to John Sharp Williams' what tuning a musical instrument is to playing it. Still nobody ever refers to the great Mississippian as "the Scholar in Politics." We owe it to th<- community in which we live to do everyth'ng we tan in evAy way possible that will be to its advantage. Our neighbor's prosperity means a great deal more to us than the prosperity of one who iives elsewhere. We should bear th:s fact in mind in buying goods. We can well afford to pay our home man a reasonable profit on his wares rather than send our money away, knowing as we cio that every dollar expended with our own citizens will help in sustaining our schools, churches and other institutions. It pays richly to patronize home industry. i The statement was made on the streets of Fort Mill Saturday by a Rock Hill citizen that the formation of a stock company, to be composed of a number of business men of that city, is projt cted with the view of pufchnsing the Rock Hill Herald and converting it into a daily paper. Rock Hill is now a city of about 10,000 people, including the villages of the manufacturing enterprises just bcycnd the corporate limits, and it would seem that the field is large enough to support a good afternoon paper. The Times is pleased to note the improvement made recently in its neighboring contemporary, the Waxhaw Enterprise. A short time ago the Enterprise was one of the few papers ii no r\ uhrt.nt WllUOr II VI. I |U^l l?UO Ul ?VVV? Mi.l.v. v entirely to patent medicine advertising. Now, however, tht-se ads have been discarded and the } aper shows a big improvement, both in apppi arance and quality of matter carried. The printer has just as good grounds for asking the business men of a town to leave their job work at home as the business man has to ask the community to patronize him instead of the mail order houses. In fact the home paper does more for a town than any other I enterprise located therein. I.et the business men join hands with the home papers and both their interests will be greatly benefited. An exchange remarks that a man can start out any day and inside of an hour and thirty minutes he can engage a woman to work for life at nothing per | week, while it will take two weeks ol solid search to get one to work at high wages atul board. With all the get-rich-quick promoters in jail and about stcen to steenty trust magnates b -ir.g measured for a suit 01 j checkered clothing, there would be little doing in the way of Men of Mark in i the next year or two. The Limit. Charlotte Observer. "There are just as big liars in South Carolina," boasts The Fort Mill limes, discussing the reported movement to impeach Governor It lease, "as there I are in Atlanta." No strongi r ciaini J for South Carolina inendaciousnets' could possibly have been made. Newsy Notes From Gold Hiil. Correxix.ndence Kurt Mill Tunes. The people of this>vi ion are generally well, 1 think, and the furtiu rs aiv quite busy gathering the cotton crop, which is quite a short one. V\ e hear of a Mr. Smith who is done picking and is plowing up the stalks, pre paratory to planting other crops. Of course, now. he is none of your common, ordinary, or everv-dav Smiths. Mr. W. H. Windle has been running ! his gin both day and night, lor the cotton seems to be coming to him from all parts of the township. We would suggest that those farmers, rather than haul their cotton so far. move up into the Gold Hill section another year orwl fiotr t'ntlnn noiift r lhi? There is a little !> ;, \i iter at Mr. Edward GarrisonV .d, like Andrew Jackson, 'he was not born in North Carolina, either. Mrs. C. T. Cro<?k left la t v.it\ for Georgia, where she trues to visit a son. Up to a short while ago whenever a fellow trot dissatisfied here he woul' bundle up and go Texas, for it seemed then as if tlure was nowhere! else to go, but of late some of our people have discovered a mighty good spot down in Georgia, and they have the Georgia fever had. and are preparing to move there. And again, last week some of our neighbors heard of a good spot over in North Carolina and hiked out at once to investigate. We haven't learned the results, but if we knew , that North Carolina had any better ' land than we have got we wouldn't 1 let them know it, for it would make 1 the Tarheels saucy to know of our people emigrating over there. Hut it 1 steins that emigration and civilization | shifting has turned the other way. Quite a number of the young iadies and young men have departed these coasts of late. "Some are olF teaching, ! while others are at school. This has thinned out our population sharply, and parties are pn the wane, and now our dogs aire having a much needed rest. S. Gold Hill, Sept. 25. The new cotton mill law in Georgia goes into etfect on the i rst day ol January, li?12. It provides that employment in such mills shall not exceed sixty hours a week. A Dreadful Sight to H. J. Barnum, of Freeville, N. Y., was the fever-sore that had plagued his life for years in spite of many remedies he tried.
