Our advice to the voters: If j
you like Blease as governor vote (
for him; if you feel that Jones
would suit you better, vote for
him; if you are not suited with
either, vote for Duncan; but be
sure to vote. (
<
Orangeburg county has ten t
candidates in the race for the
House of Representatives with j
five places to be filled. ?Of the t
ten candidates, seven have de- 1
clared themselves for Jones for i
governor and three for Blease. 1

With laudable regularity the J
sea serpant comes to view each
summer and it is a suggestive (
coincidence that it is always (
seen near some summer resort on i
the east coast. Yankee ingenuity i
and an eye for the dollar are j
probably responsible for the
fact?or fiction.

When people say they live up !
to the light they have or that |
they are answerable only for ]
what they do they may be pro- i
nouncimr their own condemna- j i
tion. Most of us ought to have 1
more light than we now possess t
and our performance should be
greater. This would be realized
by us to our own good and to s
that of others if we were more {
ambitious to excel. j
r
The recent conference of Em- \
peror William and the Czar of i
Kussia does not seem to have J
caused a single ripple upon the 1
usually disturbed waters of inter- i
national relations. A year ago :
such a meeting would have dis- *
turbed the money market and s
provoked suspicion and jealousy. \
That all this is absent at the t
present time is cause for con- *
gratulation. It goes to show i
that in spite of sinister efforts in >
some quarters to embitter feel- j 1
ings a better understanding is ''
being reached among the nations. J
c
s
Notwithstanding the advance j
made in aeronautics during the ,
lust year or two the element ol (
dan ger seems to be as pronounced 1
as ever. In l'act the knowledge i
gained as to air currents ana t
"air pockets" shows that flight I
is not merely a question ol rising <
above the earth but that the ail
has currents and eddies and de- j
pressions quite as pronounced as (
those ol the ocean and lar more ,
dangerous. Of course science <
will ultimately show how to deal
with these hazardous features
but the process must naturally
be slow and call lor the sacrifice j
of many lives.
Ideals ol character are not always
as broad and high and 1
positive as they might be. The 1
man who contents himself with <
saying that he never lied or stole 1
and that no one can impeach his 1
character falls short because he ]
speaks only of that which is ,
negative. Of course all that he ,
is trnnd so far as it ffoes but 1
what is needed is positive char- (
acter. One comes much nearer 1
the ideal when he is positively <
generous in his attitude towards 1
other men. and positive in his !
sympathy with what is true and j
nght. Not to knock a man down (
is certainly a good deal better ,
than to knock him down, but ]
still the attitude is negative. To i
help a man who has lallen to get I
upon his feet is positive and <
therefore better. To assume a :
neutral position towards some 1j
good cause is, of course, better
than antagonizing it, but the *
right thing to do is to wisely and [
earnestly promote it.
I
There are people who suggest I
that the reading of a newspaper 1
is a waste of time and that more ;
solid inlormation may be ob- '
tained by confiding one's reading
to books of value. It all depends j
upon tne cnaracter ol tne papers ;,
read. There is no denying the
fact that the large city papers I;
do not as a rule give the news.
They give one section of it and j:
that not always the best. That
which is sensational, lurid in j,
character is served up with painful
regularity, but news which
edifies is given in scanty form. 1,
So, too, the political and other
views of the paper often prevent
it from giving accurate
news of what transpires in the
world. The news is colored by
the opinions and wishes of the
paper. What the public wants
is news that it can rely upon,
not the distorted ideas of trust j
controlled editors or of news-j
>aper owners whose only aim is
o make money. Very fortunatey
the country press is, in the 1
nain, singularly from sensa- <
ionalism on the one side and 1
lullness on the other. It is also 1
nore independent and therefore \
rnjoys a freedom not often found 1
n the offices of the city press. ]
There are two main advantages j
n all this. One is that if the
ange of news is not so great the 1
lews that is given is more likely <
:o be accurate and palatable, j
\nd the other advantage is that ;
he opinions expressed upon any
given subject are usually' the
lonest conviction of the editor.
For that reason the country
iress is far more influential than
he city press in moulding public i
ipinion. The proof of this is;
sonstantly being seen and it is I
idmitted by most people who |
nve any attention to public af-1
'airs and the trend of public
hought.

Tom Felder's Backing Poor.
Discussing the political situa;ion
in this State, the Charlotte
Observer of Thursday had this
;o say editorially:
" * * * One Tom Feeder of
\tlanta seems to have been in
;he past an attorney and agent
Tor the liquor interests, and, in
etaliation for some thingsthat,
Blease has done, he seems de;ermined
to ruin Blease if pos?ible.
He seems now to be himself
at outs with the liquor men,
is well as in a tangle with
Governor Blease. Because of
Governor Blease's claim that he
vill put him in jail if he comes
nto South Carolina. Felder does
lot or cannot go into that State.
The dispensary winding-up board
ately held a meeting in Augusta, 1
so that Felder could be present
;o give his testimony. He
iromised great exposures and
lad one or more detectives, but
io important results ensued. His
lacking is a mighty poor backng,
being a combination of the
iquor interests and professional
ietectives.
"On the other hand, Mr.
Blease is charged with pardoning
oo many criminals, and this i
;eems to be true. From time to <
ime whispers are heard that
Blease has or may have received I
noney for some of his pardons, i
Ve have no idea that this latter i
s true, and whenever this sub- i
ect is pushed to the wall there <
s no foundation found for it as i
ret. We have no doubt that
awyers have prepared papers
n pardon cases and received i
"ees for same, and perhaps in
lome cases claimed a connection
vith Blease, but this is a very I
lifferent thing from the Governor's
taking' a bribe. It is <
inderstood that Mr. B. L. Abney,
vho is a cousin of Mr. Blease,
las been his private and legal
idviser throughout his adminisxation.
Mr. Abney is known
is one of the best lawyers in the
State and is a man of integrity,
[t was always charged that Tillnan's
majorities were largely
lue to persistent prejudices exDressed
by the conservative element
of the State. The same
;hing is said of the present camDaign,
and it may be true. Mr.
Jones, who is Blease's opponent
for Governor, seems to be a good
conservative, but the abuse
Blease is receiving from the
conservatives will probably drive
nany a vote to him on election
iay."
Tli? Dnv Davs.
Several inquiries have recently
oeen made in regard to the date
when dog days begin. As every
log has his day these inquiries
were informed that any person
bad aright to begin the dog days
when it suits him. In former
Jays when there were few almanac
makers each one selected
a special date for the beginning.
In Mediterranean countries twenty
centuries ago and even longer
the dog days began when the
sun and Sirius, or the dog star
r >se at the same time. The dog
Jays began twenty days before
this rising and continued twenty
Jays after. That corresponded
to the season of most malignant
Jiseases in these countries. Owing
to certain laws regulating
the movements of the stars, the
Jog star and sun do not rise
together until August 10. After
many years Sirius will rise in
mid winter. So if you wish the
hottest days you will have to
:ount from July 10 to August 10.
Some of the almanac makers of
modern times reckon these days
from July 24 to August 24 and
others from July 3 to August 11.
Just to settle the matter in your
own mind, fix the date of the
first dog day July 10 and the
last one August 20. That will
give you enough of them. Or it
might be more satisfactory to
select St. Swithin's day, July 15
as the first dog day and the last
one August 15.
Now there is no malignant
influence in the air at this season
of the year. The health of the
people is as good or better than
at other seasons. Most people
like to hold on to some superstitions
relating to the stars and
moon and this is about as harmless
as any one they believe in.
They will go on believing in
myths and superstitions until
their mortal bodies return to
dust.?Carolina Spartan.
Insect Bite Costs Leg.
A Boston man lost his lee from the
bite of an insect two years before. To
avert such calamities from insect stings
and bites use Bucklen's Arnica Salve
promptly to kill the poison and prevent
inflammation, swelling and pain. Heals

Lime Velaable to the Soil. $
An investigation made recently I
by President Finley of the South- I
srn Railway system has shown I
that experts in the chemistry of 1
soils are unanimously of the I
opinion that lime in some form I
will benefit many of the soils of
the Southeastern States by correcting
their acidity and improving
their mechanical condition.
President Finley has secured
the opinions of experts throughout
the Southeastern States and
also in the Eastern and Middle
States, in some of which experiments
with the use of lime
have been carried on for a long j
series of years. These opinions
have been published in an illustrated
folder which is being wide- I
ly distributed among the farmers I
in the territory traversed by the I
lines of the Southern Railway I
system. I
Farmers and uihers interested H
in this subject may obtain copies I
of this folder by addressing I

Thaw Still Insane, Says Court. ^
Harry K. Thaw, in the eyes of g
the law, is still insane and must I
remain in the asylum where he |
was placed on February 1, 1908. r
after he had killed Stanford I
White, the wealthy New Yorker, i
Justice Keogh, at White Plains, |N.
J., Friday denied Thaw's ap- I
plication for freedom. The court |
took the grounds that Thaw VI
release would be dangerous to I
public safety. | *j
In his opinion Justice Keogh 1
briefly sketched the attempts ft
made by Thaw in 1908 and 1909 I
to obtain discharge from the I
hospital. In both instances, Jus- B
tice Keogh said the court held that
Thaw was then insnne and
it would be dangerous to the public
peace and safety to grant his
discharge. I
Thaw's counsel has stated that
his efforts to secure his client's 1
freedom will not be abandoned.
Candidates Invade the Piedmont.
All the candidates are looking I
forward to the meetings in the j
Piedmont, says The State. It is J
recognized that in that section C
are numbers of townships each
of which polls almost as many (
votes as some low-country counties.
The candidate who carries
Spartanaurg, Anderson and *
Greenville counties, for instance,
could well afford to lose a half- I
dozen or more of such counties
as Beaufort, Colleton, Horry,
Berkeley, Dorchester and Jasper.
Local complications will lend special
interest to several of the
meetings in the Piedmont, particularly
Greenville, Anderson, 1
Soartanburg and Union. There J
is no prospect of leisure for any
of the opposed candidates before
the first primary, appointed to be r
held August 27. Next week, ,
during which no meetings will
be held, will be spent in strength- a
ening weak places, planning c
auxiliary campaigns in pivotal
sections, accumulating campaign c
ammunition, revamping routine f
speeches, the writing of many
letters and a general gathering
together of resources for the last )
lap of the race, which begins j
August 5 at Camden and ends
August 22 at Greenville. t

Death of an Aged Lady.
Mrs. A. E. Watson, 88 years
of age and probably the oldest
lady resident of Fort Mill township,
died Saturday night at the
home of her son, Mr. J. N.I"
McAteer, in the village of the'
Fort Mill Mfg. company. The
funeral service was held Sunday s
afternoon at 2 o'clock by Rev.
T. J. White, of the Methodist
church, after which the burial ?
was made in the city cemetery. !
Mrs. Watson had been in fee- F
ble health for a number of years, c
but her last serious illness was 1
of but short duration. She is J
survived by one son and a num- J
ber of grandchildren who deeply
mourn her demise.
The Fort Mill friends of Mr. \ \
Richard Young, of Charlotte,! 5
will be pleased to know that he ;1
is recovering from an illness of |c
typhoid fever.
