Self-Development.
A town is in some ways like a
person. If it amounts to anything
it must be largely selfmade.
The town that drifts,
like the person that drifts, or
the ship that drifts, is not likely
to come to the right harbor. If
prosperity is the haven desired,
it will not be reached without
determination and self-guidance.
This truism has been applied to'
human conduct so often as to
become commonplace, and would
not be repeated here except to
emphasize the fact that it applies
to communities quite as much as
in/)ivi/)ng|a
bV IllUi V
A town is a problem like a
child. It should not be left to
grow up by itself. Its destiny
should be guided by the wisdom
of its elders. There is no lack
of elders in any town who have
opinions as to what is wrong
with it. They are to be found
at the groeery store, the cigar
store and every common meeting
place. If these wiseacres
would exercise their perspicacity
in figuring out what would be
good for the town, and then
would all pull together in trying
to bring that good about, the
result would be such a matter
cf local pride that nobody would
want to talk about anything else.
The destiny of a community, like
that of an individual, can be
controlled; the possibilities of
development and improvement
are almost unlimited; and it is
not only wisdom but money in
the pocket for citizens to take
their town in hand and try to
make it amount to something.
The 3-Cent Piece Again.
Three-cent pieces, with holes
in the center and 1-2 cent pieces
with escalloped edges will soon
be jingling in the pockets of the
citizens of the United States, if
the Bulkeley bill, which authorizes
a new, novel, and fantastic
coinage, becomes a law.
Secretary of the Treasury Mac?1
A Onnwnf ovxr A n
Y eagli, A&difiiaai ocvtcuii jr mi- j
drew, and Director of the Mint
Roberts have had their heads
together ever since the matter of
the new coinage came up, and as
a result some very remarkable
forms of shekels, pesos, rupees,
dubloons, rubles, and ducats, to
say nothing of livres, marks,
farthings, yen, yips and thalers,
not to mention gazettes, anna,
simoleons, copecks, and pfennings,
have been closely examined
by the eminent coinage
experts and their surfaces
searched for ideas concerning
tentative designs for those new
atoms of legal tender, the half
penny and the 3-cent piece.
Governor Blease carried the
Chester box in 1910 by 84 votes.
In Fort Mill Friday a traveling
man who claimed to know the
present political situation in
Chester said that the city would
give the Governor a majority
next fall of ISO votes.

The Docking Stool.
One of the wise old customs
practiced by our English and
New England forefathers was
the employment of the ducking <
stool. When people became obstreperously
opinionated, or slan- ]
derous, or too free in criticising i
the community, they were taken i
to the water's brink and pub- 1
liclv ducked. Nearly every town .
had its ducking stool, and it undoubtedly
exercised a wholesome i
influence in the community.
This form of punishment has
been deprecated by later gener- <
ations on the score of cruelty; <
but where the cruelty came in it
is hard to see. From the physi- |
cal standpoint the ducking stool
method of punishment could have
been little more than uncomfortable,
and mentally it was less
i* r J
severe than many iorms ox refined
torture employed in modern J
criminal procedure. Whether it
was cruel or not, it was very effective
and admirably adapted to
"make the punishment fit the (
crime." The person who is loud
in voicing contrary opinions is
generally making a bid for public
notice, and it is quite fitting
that such notice should be ac- ,
corded him via the ducking stool.
Today we have no ducking ,
stool. Possibly that is why we
have so many fault-finders. For
when society dropped the ducking
stool it also dropped some of
its healthy intolerance of such '
individuals. We can not revive
the ducking stool, but we can
and should revive that ancient J
and honorable disgust for the
fault-finder, the "knocker," the j
muck-raker, the antisocial critic.
They are a stumbling block to .
progress and should be kicked
ruthlessly out of the way.
Farce of a Primary.
The primaries being held in i
many States to ascertain the !
presidential preferences of the .
people are the veriest farces. In i
the Massachusetts primary the
other day the Republicans and 1
Democrats together cast a total I
cf 176,876 votes. At the gen- i
eral election in 1908 the Re- ;
publicans of Massachusetts polled i
266,966 votes for Taft, as the <
party's candidate for President, i
At the same election the Democrats
polled 155,543 votes for
Bryan. The two parties polled ]
at that election a total of 421,509 1
votes.
The polling strength of the <
two parties at the general 1
election four years ago was
greater by 234,633 votes than it
was at the primaries held last I
week. At least fifty-eight per I
cent of the voters of Massachu- 1
setts took no part in the pri- i
maries for the choice of a Presi- I
dential candidate, which, in the
opinion of thoughtful people,
would exercise a powerful, if
not determining, influence on 1
the contest for the Presidency I
this year. This shows a great ;
lack of interest in the primary :
by the voters of both parties. i
The Republicans voted 56 per
cent, of their 1908 strength in 1
the primaries on Tuesday; the
Democrats voted but 19 per cent ;
of the number of their party at
the polls at that Presidential
election. Together they polled
forty-two per cent of the vote i
they produced jointly in 1908.
At the Democratic National
Convention the vote of Massachusetts/
will be cast according
to the judgment of a majority
of an insignificant minority of

Tillman's Health Good.
The Washington correspondent
of the News and Courier writes
that paper that any impression
that Senator Tillman's broken
health is such that he is not able
personally to direct his Senatorial
business with intelligence
and force or that he is not able
to go about by himself in the discharge
of that business is erroneous.
The Senator is daily in his seat
in the Senate, daily confers with
his colleagues, daily dictates a
quantity of correspondence, and
visits the various government
departments in person when he
has occasion and goes alone unless
accompanying someone in
whose behalf he is acting. As a
matter of fact, he often goes unattended.
He walks daily from
his hotel to the Capitol and from
the Capitol back to his hotel, and
the distance between the two
buildings is at least a mile. He
did this even in midwinter, when
the streets were covered with
snow. * * * His office force has
to work hard to keep up with
him and no visitor to his office
would take any stock in the
statements that he requires to be
directed by others.
Court Ousts Biase s Appointees.
The State Supreme Court in an
opinion Tuesday ousted Governor
Blease's appointees to the office
of township commissioners in
Beaufort county as asked by
Attorney General Lyon, the
opinion concluding thus:
4Tt is therefore adiudcred that
the defendants against whom
these actions are brought are
still before the court, are guilty
of usurping and intruding into,
and are unlawfully holding and
exercising the duties of the
office of township commissioners
in Beaufort county, and it is the
judgment of this court that the
defendants be excluded from
said offices and that the plaintiff
recover costs in each case against
the defennants."
The opinion is by Associate
Justice Watts and is concurred
in by the entire court.

Governor Favors 2-Cent Mileage Rate.
Governor Blease stated that he
will go on the stump this sum
mer with his inaugural address
and recent statements in which
he advocated the passage of a
fiat two-cent rate mileage bill
and with his opposition to the
Carlisle bill, made a law by the
recent legislature and compare
these with the order of the railroads
in which the roads announce
that they will issue
mileage after May 1 for two
cents good only within the State
and not interchangeable between
roads and that interchangeable
mileage will not be good in this
State, not even for an interstate
journey, part of which is in this
State.
On the foot of the new "mileage"
act Governor Blease wrote
the following: "This act will not |
accomplish the good results that
a flat rate of two cents (if
passed) would have, I shall not
disapprove this act, but am afraid
it will be of little benefit.
"C. L. B."
Governor Blease in his inaugural
address advocated a two-cent
fiat rate and today he says he
will quote on the stump his several
predictions and show that
:he roads have benefited by the
"mileage" law.
The thing now to be done by
the legislature, as pointed out by
Governor Blease today and Senator
Carlisle recently, is to pass
next year a flat two cent raie

Mrs. Tillman Seeks Divorce.
Mrs. Lucy Dugas Tillman,
wife of B. R. Tillman, Jr., has
filed suit in the Insolvency court
at Cincinnati, Ohio, for divorce
from her husband. Mrs. Tillman
is a descendent of the famous
Pickens family of South
Carolina. Two children were
born to them, Douschka, now
aged 7 years, and Lucy Frances,
now 5. Over a year ago Mrs.
Tillman moved to Cincinnati and
has lived quietly, and having acquired
legal residence, filed her
suit for absolute divorce. In
addition, Mrs. Tillman asks to be
restored to her maiden name
once more. Her petition is verysimple
and short, merely alleging
gross neglect of duty and
failure to provide.
Young Tillman, who was admitted
to the Bar in South Carolina,
has been living i.i Portland,
Ore., for the past six months.
What Every Woman Knows.
That lodge sessions do not always
last until 3 o'clock in the
morning.
That sudden and vigorous talk
of poverty by her husband means
no electric car this year.
That it is certainly a great
mystery what her husband does
with all his money.
That her mother-in-law was
really not such a magnificent
cook as a certain party would
have her believe.
That the woman next door is
extravagant and is living beyond
her husband's income.
Repels Attack of Death.
"Five years ago two doctors told me
I had only two years to live." This
startling statement was made by Stillman
Green, Malachite, Col. "They
told me I would die with consumption.
It was up to me then to try the best
lung medicine and I began to use Dr.
King's New Discovery. It was well'I
did, for today I am working and believe
I owe my life to this great throat
and lung cure that has cheated the
grave of anothe.- victim." Its folly
to suffer with coughs, colds or other
throat and lurg troubles now. Take
