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

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

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.

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. Guaranteed
by Fort Mill Drug Co., Parks Drug Co.,
Ardrey's Drug Store.
A true bargain is that which
benefits all parties to the trans:
action. The bargain that bene|
fits but one party indicates selfishness
and injustice.
Insect Bite Costs Leg.
i A Boston man lost his leg from the
bite of an insect two years before. To
avert such calamities from insect stings

promptly to kill the poison and prevent
inflammation, swelling and pain. Heals
burns, boils, ulcers, piies, eczema, cuts,
bruises. Only 25c at Ardrey's Drug

People who look for the crooked
will find it and those who
look for the straight will be
equally successful, so true is it
that people find what they want.
