THURSDAY, JULY 4^ 1912~ As to the nomination of Governor Woodrow Wilson, The Times is not as well pleased as it would have been had the Democrats named Speaker Champ Clark as the presidential candidate. All along: it has been the belief of this newspaper that the Speaker was the stronger of the two and it is still of the opinion that a majority of the Democrats of the nation wished for; and expected the convention to nominate Mr. Clark. However, since the New Jerseyan has been chosen as the party's standard bearer, there is consolation for the Speaker's friends in the fact that he will continue to direct the Democrats in the National Consrress and that his services to | the party in the future will be none the less valuable than in the past. The strength and stability of a nation rest in its homes and not upon battleships and huge cannons, large armies and mighty navies. Especially is this true in a republic where citizenship counts for more than in a monarchy. The home, because of its ties and associations, is the most powerful institution in the world and when its atmosphere is filled with love and helpfulness there is nothing under heaven so beautiful. So mighty and sacred is the home that it is free from all intrusion. The president of the United States is by virtue of his office, if for no other reason, the most exalted person in the land and possessed of well nigh kingly powers. But even the president cannot enter the humblest cottage except by consent of its owner. The recent Republican national convention was conspicuous for a arrwu^ mnnv tViinirs. hilt it is " ' v o-? - ? j doubtful if anything has impressed the nation more than the heated language employed by many of the speakers of both contending factions, and the turbulence sometimes displayed. The over-free indulgence in expletives and other outbursts were, perhaps, the natural result of a campaign that has been marked by an unusual amount of personal detraction, but nonetheless the spectacle was anything but edifying and in time none will regret it more than those who engaged in it. Evidently many people have yet a good deal to learn in the way of courtesy, moderation and respect for others' convictions! where politics are concerned. All this can be said without any j party bias for, unfortunately, conventions and other gatherings of all political parties have not unoften shown the same heat and passion as that witnessed in Chicago, although that convention being of national character, j 4. - 1 4. 11.. greater prominence nas been given to what people of every shade of politics must deplore. Anything is better than stagnation, for stagnation means indifference and ultimate decay. That is as true in politics as in other matters and it is reassuring for it means that good will come out of political controversy and the surcharged political atmosphere which most people are now compelled to endure. The process may not always be pleasant but it can be borne for the sake of the purer air to come and the growing strength of the people. The proverbial weakness of Latin-American nations in selfgovernment is again illustrated in the outbreak of Cuba and the , rebellion in Mexico. It is de- i voutly to be hoped that it may not be found necessary in the 1 interest of humanity for this luumry u> urnc ui Cuba. America has ~ enough : problems of its own without adding to them if it can honorably avoid it. The immense capital now needed to establish industries makes < very remote the possibility of workmen to become employers, and it is likely this fact prevents J workers from taking tne same ! amount of interest in their work that was seen under the old | industrial order, when it was comparatively easy for a man to \ go into business for himself on a j < gull j} Doubtless poverty is a very uncomfortable condition, but oftentimes it has been the salvation of young people. The young man who has to make headway against hard conditions may have a trying time but .usually he wins out and the success is all the greater. To throw one overboard and let him sink or swim generally results in making him an expert swimmer. The demand for change just for the sake of change is no more commendable than a refusal to change when conditions require it It is simply an unreasoning restlessness. That there is much in the political and industrial U of /in 11 c rofrtrm i<j nunu uiav vauo tvi ivivnu undoubted but all reform should be undertaken intelligently and for the best good of the greatest number. If is no use asking the man who loafs on the street corner to do anything to benefit the town. He does not have the disposition and he always makes the excuse that he has no time. Ask the man who is active and industrious, he generally can find the time and just as surely he has the disposition. "You are a dirty liar, and nothing but a miserable coward would take the advantage you are taking. You are a dirty dog and infamous scoundrel." This is a bit of choice language used at Conway Friday by our attorney general in denouncing one of his hearers. 0 temporal 0 mores! Wilton and Marshall Nominated. Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey was Tuesday nominated for the presidency by the Democratic national convention. The nomination was made at 3:15 p. m. on the forty-sixth ballot, after 1 i - -i n 1 i 1 unaerwooa ana ross nau ueen withdrawn, and Clark had released his supporters. Following the nomination of Wilson, Gov. Thos. R. Marshall, of Indiana, was nominated for vice-president. Some Election Facts. The primary election will be held in South Carolina on August 27. A registration certificate is not necessary to vote in the primary. The registration certificate is required for the general election. The requirements to participate in the primary election are: Residence in the county 60 days preceding the next general election. No person shall be allowed to vote except his name be enrolled on the particular club list at which he offers to vote at least five days before the first election, which club shall have a separate polling place for primary elections; except in Charleston the voter's name must be on the particular club list at which he offers to vote at least 60 days before the primary election. Tbe Crow Not So Bad. Notwithstanding the fact that the farmers and State Legislature are all against me, I believe the crow to be a valuable friend of the farmer. This crow bounty business is a big piece of foolery which the farmer is going to wake up to some of these days. Have you ever been bothered with those sink holes along the tile drains in the low spots? These are almost invariably started by the crayfish or "craw dads," which have drilled down to the tile in their efforts to strike a vein of water. "That rascal," the crow, destroys a great number of these pests every spring. Have you noticed those "brown shelled bugs" which begin to appear the latter part of May. They are the June bugs, the pest which, if allowed to multiply, would cut every leaf from the fruit and forest trees. These beetles have many enemies, but none so voracious as our crows. There is much more damage done to the corn by the jaybird than the crow, yet the crow gets the blame for every hill missing or stalk pulled up since this bounty was placed on his head. Do you think the c row comes to pilfer every time you see him on the place? Just keep your eggs hunted up in the wood patches and around the outbuildings and the crow will not carry them off. Crows cease to bother much after a month or so in the spring, and during the rest of the year his wild food supply is sufficient and he is then a friend to agriculture. Last spring I observed two crows in a corner by the thicket feeding upon a large black snake they had dispatched. The snake would have destroyed more quail eggs and young birds in a sing.e season than a dozen crows. As the snake measured some 5 feet 6, he was getting dangerous, and those crows had rendered a good service to the neighbordood by getting him out of the way. The crow heartily hates the larger species of hawks and will not rest as long as one is in his vicinity. Certainly the crow has a worthy work to perform, as worthy as the quail, lark and other birds.?Indiana Farmer. ? , , Mr. P. M. Bailes, who graduated from Furman University the last commencement, had the! honor of winning the senior medal given for the best oration by the senior class. The title of Mr. Bailes' oration was "Victories of Peace." Mr. Bailes will go to the seminary at Louisville this fall Mast Bary Dead Animals and Fowls. The Barnwell Sentinel of June 27th published the following I section of a law which, it is presumed, was passed at the 1912 session of the Legislature: Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the : State of Soutn Carolina, That ; whenever any animal or poultry shall die from any natural or other cause, except from being slaughtered for the use of man, or the dead body thereof be found upon the premises of any person, be he the owner or tenant thereof, the owners or owner of such dead animals or poultry, or the owners or owner or tenants of lands or premises upon which such dead bodies may be found, shall immediately burn or bury, or cause to be burned or buried, such dead animals and poultry, and when buried, if an animal, it shalh be put not less than three feet, and when poultry, not less than one foot under the ground. The owners of such dead animals or poultry who KllUWlllg LlidL sutll ucau aiiimaio or poultry is lying dead upon his own premises, or a tenant on premises having such knowledge or having notice thereof, and refuses to bury or burn such dead animal or poultry as aforesaid, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof, shall be fined in a sum not less than five dollars nor more than ten dollars, or be imprisoned for a period of not more than thirty days. This Act to go into effect immediately upon its approval. The Army Worm. This pest has started on its depredations early this year. It has made its appearance in Georgia already and the Farmers Union is taking steps to fight it. The farmers in this State should be 011 the lookout for it and be prepared to fight it if it comes, which it seems likely to do. Paris green is one of the best agencies to check the onslaught of this worm, or any other worm or bug that chews the leaf. It will be necessary to find out where the worm begins and begin there with the poison, sprinkling it on the cotton leaf in the same manner in which it is sprinkled on potatoes. | Paris green in bulk is about the cheapost poison and most effective poison that can be bought. By watching the army worm and dosing that part of the field where they begin, the pest can be successfully checked. What Makes a Woman? One hundred and twenty pounds, more or less, of bone and muscle don't make a woman. It's a good foundation. Put into it health and strength and she may rule a kingdom. But that's just what Electric Bitters did for her. Thousands bless them for overcoming fainting and dizzy spells and for dispelling weakness, nervousness, backache and tired, listless, wornout feeling. "Electric Bitters have done me a world of good," writes Eliza Pool, Depew, Okla., "and I thank you, with all my heart, for making 3uch a good medicine." Only 50c.
