~ THURSDAY, JULY 18, 1912~
Mr. W. P. Pollock, candidate for
Congress, is quoted as saying, "I think
my election is almost certain." Mr.
Pollock probably thought the same
thing in his former races for Congress.
It will take better reasons than he has
so far been able to present, however,
to convince the voters of the Fifth
district that he, an untried man, should
be sent to Cor.gress in place of Mr.
Ffnley, who has done, is doing and will
continue to do substantial work for the
people he represents. If there were
no other reason to commend Mr. Finley
to the favorable consideration of the
voters than the fact that there is a
smaller number of Republican postmasters
in the Fifth district than in any
other district in the United States,
that alone should insure his reelection.
People who know what they are talking
about say that Mr. Finley has more
influence in Congress and with the departments
than any other South Carolina
member of the House. As an
illustration of what he is able to accomplish
for the district by virtue of
his membership on the great postoffice
committee one needs but recall what he
did for this very town of Fort Mill last
year in the appointment of the post.
master. A North Carolina Republican
had drifted into the community and it
did not taKe mm long to turn wvcwwo
eyes upon the postmastership. He
Bectired the endorsement of the State
Republican machine for the position, in
succession to the incumbent, whose
term was about to expire. The postmaster,
a Democrat and an ex-Confederate
soldier, depended upon the
influence of Mr. Finley for reappointment,
and he was reappointed?by a
Republican President. Mr. Pollock
ought to tell the voters what they
would gain by refusing to reelect Mr.
Finley.
The action of the North Carolina
Democratic State executive committee
in adopting recently a rule permitting
Republicans to vote in the primary
which is to select the successor of
F. M. Simmons in the United States
Senate is so obviously a scheme in the
interest of the reelection of Simmons
that it ought to have the effect of
making the nomination of Governor
Kitchin certain. North Carolina could
well afford to be rid of Senator Simmons,
anyway. He is a man of very
limited ability and if he should be kept
in the Senate until he dies of senility
the State would not have gained much
?from his services. Governor Kitchin,
on the other hand, is a strong man |
intellectually and would quickly take
rank with the leaders of the Senate, as
his brother. Congressman Claude !
Kitchin, has done in the House of
Representatives. No man can serve
two masteib. Simmons is a corporation ,
Senator and, being such, he is not in
position to serve the people. The
Democratic party cannot afford to
trifle with the interests of the people
by electing to Congress men who art
not in sympathy with the remedial
legislation which the country is demanding.
Senator Simmons' tariff
record, from the democratic ponu ui
view, ib indefensible and furnishes
sufficient reason for any Democrat to '
vote against him. Knowing this, his '
friends on the State executive com- j !
mittee seek to rescue him from defeat 1
by permitting Republicans to vote in <
the primary. Their action is out- 1
rageous and if it does not prove a '
boomerang we shall be greatly sur- (
prised.
Jhe stories that sometimes appear <
in the papers of phenomenal profits ob- <
tained off one or two acres of land are <
a detriment to the movement to per- <
suade people to get back to the land. '
They are as damaging in their way as
the pessimistic accounts of absolute
failure to make any profit whatso- ]
ever on small tracts of land. That ,
here and there a man may get a vast j
return from an acre or two is no f
doubt correct, but they are very rare 5
exceptions. If people would regard ,
them as such no harm would follow, ! r
but the trouble is that many impulsive j
and sanguine spirits with no practical
knowledge think they can go and do
likewise. When they make the try, as *
they usually do, they meet with failure
nine hundred and ninety-nine tin.es out , f
of a thousand, and then they lose c
heart, give up and loudly assert that l
the whole thing is a sham. But it is f
not. Living profits can be made by
almcst every one who puts common
sense. industry and intensiveness into t
his work. And if one will but adapt j
himself to new conditions he will not h
only make a financial success but also y
get lots of good health and enjoyment g
out of his venture. But let one al- \
ways keep in mind that there is no
bonanza and that there is lots of work
in it. But far better all that for many f
thousands of people than to live from ii
hand to mouth in a crowded city and /
under trying conditions. s

Several large signs to warn automobilists
that Fort Mill has a law prohibiting
the running of machines at
more than 12 miles an hour have been
completed and will be erected during rs
the next few days on the main roads
entering the town and it is to be hoped
that the city police will see to it that 1
further violations of the ordinance do
not occur.

Things do not seem to be breaking
any too well for Judge Jones in Lancaster
county if we are to believe the
somewhat plaintive appeals that are
being made to the voters in his behalf
by the Lancaster News. For instance,
in a recent issue, The News "asks the
voters of the county to think soberly
and calmly about the matter before
casting their ballots for Governor
Blease." Governor B'.ease, we are
informed, is arrying class against class
for his own personal benefit. That's
whatever, but it is a little singular that
our contemporary should find it necessary
to appeal to the voters of the
home county of the ex-judge, since we
were led to believe some weeks ago
that the contest would be so one-sided
in Lancaster county that the Governor
would be ashamed 01 me resun.
However, prayer availeth much?at
times?and if The News will pray long
enough, often enough, and sincerely
enough much good may yet come cf
its supplications. Meanwhile, Blease's
friends claim that he is certain to get
more votes than Jones in Lancaster
county.
The only reason why some people are
so continuously in the public eye is b?cause
they have money. It is not
character, or intellectual power, or
l disposition that gives them this distinction
but just the size of their
banking account. Money is a god to
which miilions pay homage, and there
is nothing so mellifluous to their ear as
the ring of the dollar. It is the
standard by which they judge men and
| objects. With bated breath they
speak of somebody being worth $50,000,000
though he may be a moral
bankrupt. They talk of the million
dollar mansion in which he Iive3, of
the $100,000 picture on the wall, of the
small fortune in the carpets, of the
costly furniture, and of the thousand
and one other things all tagged with
the dollar mark. Taste, refinement,
art, design, and other laudable things
are not considered?nothing but the
ring of the dollar. Yet the continuance
of this nation and its institutions
is dependent not upon money but upon
character.
Froth is sometimes mistaken for the
real thing and a little commotion on
the surface leads some people to think
that the water Is agitated clear to the
bottom. So, too, in things political
there is danger that some may imagine
that the turbulent scenes that occasionally
occur at political conventions
and the unfortunate attitude that a
few prominent men sometimes display
represent public sentiment. Happily
they dp not. Never before in the
history of this country has the civil
and political idea! been as high as it is
today, or the f>olitical and business
honesty of the average man been so
pronounced. The trouble has been that
the good natured self-sufficiency of the
nation has led people to think that
anyhow everything will come out all
right, and that idea is largely responsible
for so much misrepresentation
of the real public sentiment. But
there is now, fortunately, every indication
of a change, for the people more
than ever think and act for themselves.
The Charlotte Observer says that
Detective Burns, first assistant to
Tom Felder and the criminal experts
of the Legislature who are doing their
best to reelect Blease by their work in
the alleged dispensary investigation in
Augusta, Ga., has never been known
to fall down on a case. We presume
The Observer meant to say that so far
as it is informed Burns has invariably
made good. But The Observer's
information does not extend quite far
enough. In the Lorimer bribery case
Burns and his agents were seemingly
lightfully accused of manufacturing
evidence against the Illino.s Senator
and it is certain that their work influenced
to no appreciable degree the
expulsion of Lorimer from the Senate.

THE MENACE OF RABIES.
From the Columbia Record.
Hardly a day passes that does not
bring a report of some child or person
being bitten by dogs suffering from
rabies. The reports come first from
one section of the State and then from
others. At this time there are two
young girls in the city undergoing
Pasteur treatment for mad dog bites.
They were attacked by the rabid canine
near Union. Columbia can not hope
to entirely escape such an occurrence.
There are hundreds of dogs running
a* large on the streets and any one of
the hundred may at any time be afflicted
and become a menace to every
one on the streets. We have no plan
to offer for eliminating the danger.
We only know that it exists and that
it should not. There was once a city
ordinance passed which compelled
owners of dogs to muzzle them if
turned upon the streets. Later this
part of the ordinance was repealed.
For what reason, we know not. The
cruelty of it may have aroused a sentiment
against it. But should the cruelty
be considered when the dog at any
moment may become a menace to
lives of the citizens of the city who
walk upon the streets, and have a
right to expect all possible freedom
from danger while doing so? Half of
the dogs which roam through the city
and yards are absolutely worthless, and
yet a very valued life may be sacrificed
to the senseless desire of some one to
possess a worthless canine.
If there is no solution to the problem,
it would be well for every one to watch
every dog that comes near.
"The first striking symptom in a
rabid dog is almost invariably a decided
change in its disposition," writes
Walter Peet, in Harper's Weekly.
"It either becomes more cross, irritable
and sulky, or shows unusual friendliness
and wants to be continually
petted. Obviously, in the latter state,
it is a most dangerous menace to its
owner, who easily may be infected
through a scratch on the hand or by a
bite during unusual playfulness. In
either case the dog soon becomes extremely
restless, lying down, then
almost immediately getting up to run
around nervously for a few seconds,
and lying down again. This rotation it
keeps up without interruption for some
time. The dog is easily startled, growls
and barks on the least provocation. The
owner or keeper who knows its disposition
will easily discern this change
and by simply shutting up the dog
securely for observation will obviate all
furthur danger.
"The Pasteur treatment has been
proved prophylactic against rabies. It
will prevent the development of the
disease if administered properly and*
if used in time. The report of Jules
Viala, of the Pasteur Institute of
Paris for 1910 (Annales de l'lnstitut
Pasteur), states that during the year
1910 401 persons received this treatment
without a single death resulting
from any cause?rabies or any other.
During the past ten years 7,380 persons
have been treated of whom only
21 havedied from all causes, a mortality
of 0.28 per cent The record in this
country is almost as good."

Wilson's Nomination a Costly Affair.
The total expense at Baltimore in
nominating Woodrow Wilson was $4,991,400.
The money was spent as follows:
Cash raised by the city of Baltimore
to defray the expenses of Convention
hall and National committee, $115,000.
Estimated amount expended by delegates
and alternates, $326,400.
Amount spent at headquarters and
by campaign managers, $50,000.
To this may be added $4,500,000, estimated
amount spent by 50,000 visitors.

Take Pride in Your Work.
Being proud of one's calling, even
though it may be ditching or grubbing,
is one of the things that marks success
or failure. The man who is ashamed

of it, and if he has not, there is
strong reason on the part of others to
think that he has not put the right kind
of spirit in it. All work is an honor.
Not to work is dishonor. And any man
who does his work well, even though
he may not consider it the "easy" job
he sees the other fellow doing, has
cause to feel proud, especially if he
can do it better or as well as any one
else.
To see a man go about his work
cheerfully, as if he enjoys it, or to '
hear a mill man. standing to his full 1
leight say: "I have worked in a mill
jince I was a boy. I started as doffer
and have worked to where I am" some
af these have been overseers and superintendents
and even weavers ?is an
inspiration. One likes to see a man
ivho will tell you and be proud of it 1
that he worked in the mill.
If a girl is a good weaver and another |
