Greetings to you, Mayor McElhaney, and the gentlemen of the new city council. May your administration be one of progress, profit and pleasure. The Times regrets to learn from the Lancaster News that there has been no marked improvement during the last few days in the condition of Editor Connors, who has been ill for the past several weeks. We sincerely hope that Mr. Connors will soon be able to return to his duties on The News. Just because that Newberry j grand jury failed to find a bill against Tom Felder it is foolish to conclude that the Atlanta lawyer is immune from arrest or prosecution in South Carolina, and no one realizes this fact better than Felder himself. It's a dollar to a doughnut that Tommie F. does not set foot in South Carolina during 1912, at least. "When Commissioner Watson turned down that offer of a lucrative position from the Federal government * * * he had no idea that Cole L. Blease would ever be governor of South Carolina."?Gaff ney Ledger. Agreed! and thousands of others entertained the same mistaken idea. But does The Ledger possess actual proof that Watson has had an offer of a "lucrative position from the Federal government"? = i About the severest joJt the , presidential prospect of Woodrow Wilson has received was the dropping of his name from the masthead of Harper's Weekly, the editor of which, George Har- . vey, has for some time been one of Wilson's most ardent backers. J Just why Harvey has cut loose from Wilson as Democracy's leader is not clearly stated in the despatches, but many are of the opinion that Harvey saw the writing on the wall and gave heed to the warning. All true Democrats wish to see the party come out victorious in the elections next fall and that such is impossible with Governor Wilson in the lead is becoming apparent on all sides. Every day it looks more like Harmon pr Clark. According to a report sent out' from Columbia, Jas. A. Hoyt's | withdrawal from the manage-1 ment of the Columbia Evening Record was because of the fight which he had put up through his paper against horse racing and gambling at the fair grounds near the Capital City. Just how or in what manner Mr. Hoyt and some of The Rocord stockholders disagreed is not, of course, public property, but it is rumored that rather than sacrifice his convictions he concluded to sell his interests in the paper and retire. While the races are over in Columbia, it is understood that Mr. Hoyt will not give up the fight and will endeavor to prevent the game from starting in Charleston, and The Times hopes that he will succeed. The Elections Next Fall. There will be an increase over the acreage of 1910 in the num ber of candidates that will run, walk, stand still or slip backward this year. Commencing at what is generally considered the top of politi- j cal preferment Messrs. B. \R. Tillman and W. J. Talbert, both of Edgefield, will be rivals for the first named's seat and salary in the United States Senate. In the Second District Congressman James F. Byrnes will; stand for reelection. So far no opponent has announced a purpose to measure strength with him. The resignation of Chief Justice Ira B. Jones will go into effect 011 next Tuesday and his active campaign against the re-: election) of Governor Cole L. I fHeasellill begin. It seems that these two will have the race for Gubernatorial honors to themselves. It is possible that somej ambitious yet so far silent prohibitionist may think the door of opportunity open to him. The other State officials are political veterans and in no hurry ft> iaj^whether or not they de- j aire reelection. As all have good regords and the position of ^ [stptesman out of a job" is not ^ftieasant one it is presumed ttiey will be candidates, the Second Circuit a Solicito be chosen and several HAties will have favorite sons ; The Republic! Squabble. The row in fwt Republican party goes merrily on. The differences between the several factions grow apace as the time for the holding of the national convention next June approaches. Within the last few days President Taft has noted the Roose velt agitation by saying that nothing but death will keep the President out of the race for renomination, and that if the friends of the former President expect him to step aside to accommodate anyone a disappointing jolt is in store for them. Senator La Follette is still making a noise like a man who wants what he wants when he wants it. Only a day or two ago his campaign manager sat up to inform the country that the blustery Wisconsin would not sidetrack his White House ambition for Taft, Roosevelt, or any other man. So far Roosevelt has not stated positively that he is or is not a candidate for the nomination, but it begins to look as if he is biding his time and that in the course of a few weeks he will take the country into his confidence by announcing that Barkis is willin'. Thus there are two avowed candidates and one apparently respective candidate for the Republican nomination for the presidency. Heretofore, except in nn#> instance, everv ReDubli can President has received a renomination from his party without a contest. The exception was Hayes?the beneficiary of the work of the political pirates who stole the presidency from Tilden in 1876. Hayes was not renominated. The interparty fight which is being made on the President signifies nothing if it does not signify that the Republican leaders who are opposing him observe the handwriting on the wall. More Argus-eyed than the stanch friends of Taft, they see that if the President is renominated his defeat at the polls is inevitable. Nothing, in their opinion, can save him. Apparently they are right; but they are wrong in assuming that Roosevelt or J .a Follette could do any better, for with either "the loudest bagpipe in the squeaking train" or "Little Bob" leading the Republican party in the campaign next fall the Democracy would have a walkover the like of which is noon >C1UUUI O^li. Meanwhile the country is pleased that this Kilkenny flight among the Republican big-wigs is progressing so prosperously for the Democracy. When thieves fall out honest men get their due. About Posting Lands. An impression seems to prevail to some extent that if a landlord has not ' posted" bis land, or advertised it in some way, one can hunt on it with impunity. Not so. It used to be that one was not a trespasser in going upon another's lands unless the land had been advertised; but some years ago the legislature made it a trespass to go upon the lands of any person without his permission. Landowners, we are sure, understand this. The reason some of them advertise their lands against trespassers is that they do not wish to deal harshly with trespassers, and they hope that a notice of this kind will obviate the necessity. There are so many kinds of hunters that many farmers suffer, not only annoyance, but loss from trespassers, who roam over the country in the daytime with a dog and gun and at night with a dog and torch, till forbearance ceases to be a virtue. It is as little as any man can do, if he wishes to do rierht. to gret per mission of a land-owner before hunting: on his land. ?Newberry Observer. "Rock Hill" Plan Now Famous. The "Rock Hill" plan of reducing the acreage of cotton, as formulated by Mr. John G. Anderson, president of the Rock Hill Buggy company, is receiving deep and widespread consideration, and appears to rank foremost in the number of plans offered to reduce the cotton crop. Mr. Anderson is at the head of one of South Carolina's foremost business enterprises, with a plant whose buildings cover five acres and turn out 15,000 vehicles a year. The building of the business to its present important and extensive proportions, has been largely due to his native ability and energy, and he has taken foremost rank among South Carolina's leading captains of industry. Manifesting far more than the ordinary interest in the success of the Southern farmer, Mr. Anderson thought out, devised and arranged the details of a plan he believes will prove unquestionably etfective in materially reducing the cotton acreage of 1912, and he offers it freely to the farmers of the South, if they will but take hold and apply it. As slightly modifiied by the executive committee of the Southern Cotton Congress, at a meeting in New Orleans on December 21,1911, it is proposed that the plan shall be put intu operation by each State acting for itself and not in collusion with others. It is proposed to call upon bankers, merchants, mercantile and manufacturing interests foi * \ small subscriptions to meet the expenses of organization and the work to be done in the various counties. It provides for the selection of a State superintendent who shall have entire charge of the work in the State and be responsible f<?r it. It is suggested that the governor, the commissioner of agriculture and the president of the Farmers' Union start to work and arrange for raising the necessary funds. The State* superintendent is to appoint county committees in each county, composed, it is suggested, of men taking enthusiastic interest in the work? one a banker, one a merchant and one a farmer. The county committee is to have charge of raising county funds for the purpose of conducting a house to nouse canvass lur me purpuse ui sscuring signed pledges from all farmers, and those interested in farms, that they will reduce their cotton acreage in 1912, not less than 25 per cent or whatever amount may be agreed upon. Saved His Wife's Life. "My wife would have been in her Save today," writes 0. H. Brown, of uscadine, Ala., "if it had not been for Dr. King's New Discovery. She was down in her bed, not able to get up without help. She had a severe bronchial trouble and a dreadful cough. I got her a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery and she soon began to mend, and was well in a short time."

The story of the breaking of records of several years for cold weather in many parts of the country was the result of the steadily decreasing temperature that held the United States in an ! icy grasp Sunday. The cold I weather resulted in several deaths from exposure. The | thermometer dropped to 6 de~ grees below zero at JNasnviue, Tenn., 8 decrees below at Louisville, Ky.t 15 degrees below at Indianapolis, 16 at Chicago, and as low as 22 degrees below in Kansas. Lightning Kills Few. In 1906 lightning killed only 169 people in this whole country. One's chances of death by lightning are less than two in a million. The chance of death from liver, kidney or stomach trouble is vastly greater, but not if Electric Bitters be used, as Robert Madsen, of West Burlington, la., proved. Four doctors gave him up after eight months of suffering from virulent liver trouble and yellow jaundice. He was then completely cured by Electric Bitters. They're the best stomach, liver, nerve and kidney remedy and blood purifier on earth. Only 50c at Ardrey's Drug Store, Parks Drug Co. and Fort Mill ! Drug Co. Hub Evans indicted. H. H. Evans, of Newberry, former chairman of the State * 1 J - ? i 1 dispensary ooaru 01 control, was indicted in the Richland county court Friday on the charge of accepting rebates and for conspiracy to receive rebates. A true bill was returned and the case is expected to come up for trial in the near future. It is hardly probable that the case will be called at the present term of the Richland court of general sessions as the "label" case is to be tried. In the indictment it charges that H. H. Evans received $50 from M. A. Goodman as a rebate, i and that he conspired with Goodman to receive rebates. Ends Winter's Troubles. To many, winter is a season of 1 trouble. The frost-bitten toes and fin| gers, chapped hands and lips, chilblains, ' cold-sores, red and rough skins, prove ! this. But such troubles fly before Bucklen's Arnica Salve. A trial conj vinces.

Jack Johnson, champion heavyweight pugilist of the world, Saturday signed articles to fight a finish battle with Jim Flynn, the Pueblo firer^an, generally regarded as one of the best "white hopes." The fight will take place somewhere in Nevada next July. As a tentative date, July 22 was selected, but this may be changed at any time. The fight will be staged either at Windward or Metropolis. Johnson is to receive $31,000 and one-third of the receipts from the sale of the moving picture rights. Flynn's share of | the purse was not announced. He will be paid by his manager, Jack Curley, who represented | the promoters. Their identity is a secret. I # ^ # A Terrible Blunder. to neglect liver trouble. Never do it.
