PORT MILL. S.-C.. SEPTEMBER 28. 1911.
Thin Way to Defeat.
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

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

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'

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

another climate. But this is costly and
not always sure. There's a better way.
Let Dr. King's New Discovery cure you
