C.. a* mall maltop of lh?> NNM <'ta?i ^ THURSDAY. OCTOBER 10.UM2. I' c Simmon*' Democracy. ( Congressman Claude Kitchin ji risked little in announcing that r he would induce hla brother, c (iov. W. W. Kitchin, to with- t draw from the race for the Heat, ti now held in the United States ,t Senate by Mr. Simmons if t Senator Lee S. Overman would c ' vouchsafe that Senator Sim- t mons is regarded by his col- v league* iiH a loader in the Senate. j a Senator Overman is a truthful g man and will therefon? make no such statement, for Senator Simmons' service wus incon- S spicuous until the last month of u the extra session of Congress '1 which adjourned a few weeks t ago. Then, owing to Bailey's S refusal to push the Democratic n tariff bills in the Senate, Senator n Simmons, probably at his own t solicitation, was selected for the t work. Whether he proved him- c self equal to the undertaking is g a matter of opinion. We do not j think he did. Be that as it may, the sincerity of his zeal for lower tariff duties is questionable when ^ it is recalled that he served T Aidfirh ho Invnilv :i few vears c (11HI )< > ?w ...... ? , v ago when the Payne-Aldrich i tariff bill wan on its passage in g the Senate. The only thing the 0 old Rhode Island tariff robber a had to do was to give Simmons a a wink or a nod and the little e North Carolinian always trotted c. valiantly to the rescue of the y piratical interests. If the Democrats of North Carolina would r be consistent and they intend to reelect Senator Simmons, there L is no reason why they should not also vote for President Taft and is throw the electoral vote of their s< State to him. Why vote for di Wilson for President and Sim- f11 mops, for Senator? On the tariff 11 they are as far apart as the poles. Wilson would give the country relief from the protective tariff laws, which the Republicans, * * l _ .# I aided by Simmons, enaciea; n ^ "V Simmons could have his way it is , ^ \ doubtful whether he would give h the country any relief at all. f North Carolina Democrats owe t it to themselves and to the entire t country to refuse to reelect 0 Senator Simmons. As a Republican he is all kinds of a success; as a Democrat he is a poor ^ apology. j3 T* T i If the Democrats win both the r presidential and congressional elections this fall, one of the first things they should consider at a the extra session of Congress c which.it is presumed will meet d the 1st of next April is the re- j peal- of the un-American civil service laws now on the statute ? books. With the possible ex- c ception of the postal service, c there is not a single department of the Government which would c not be greatly benefited financi- a ally and otherwise by a thorough t cleaning out of the tens of thousands of parasites who are drawing salary from Uncle Sam c for doing practically nothing. i Furthermore, the Democrats c need the jobs, and it is high time they were coming into their own. I Civil service employees are sup- ? posed to be selected without re-11 gard to politics, but it is a fact that not one Government em- s ? ic o nomn/irat ! plU^CC III ^cvcii 10 u l/viwwiui.. City newspapers often poke j fun at country newspapers for detailing the coming and going j of people and other personal j mention. But if that be an of-! r fence the city newspapers are i , even more culpable, for in their t society notes and other depart- i ments thev are lavish in their r accounts of the doings of so- ) called society people. The prin- I cipal difference between the country and city press is simply ( in the fact that the rural news- ? paper chronicles the movements ? of people who are generally 1 known in the community while * the city press tells of people < whom the great majority of its ( readers know only by name. In r its personal mention the rural ' press is singularly free from * class feeling and flunkeyism, , while there is a strong feeling [ that both characteristics are i found in the social happenings \ recorded in the columns of large 1 city dailies. * . t The McLaurins, Wilsons and j lewises may try to wrest the I lieutenancy of the Newspaper ^ Debating Society of South Caro- j lina from Senator Tillman but ? apparently he has the job nailed < down. 1 An argument which is being sed against the renomination of Lttorney General Lyon in the i rimary to be held next Tuesday < } thut he bun never been able to ely upon his own resources to 1 rotect the interests of the State j n a single important case, but ( as invariably found it necessary , o call to his assistance high- | iriced counsel, for which the , /ommonwealth has paid. Young i 1r. Peoples, candidate against i 1r. Lyon, probably is no better i iwyer than his opponent, but in 1 ecent years the voters have ' eemed to prefer a novice in the fhee, otherwise Lyon himself 1 yould never have been elected. , It may be taken as a settled 1 act that hereafter all political ( turtles will decline to accept ' ampaign funds from corpora* ions. They will avoid such Htip>ort as carefully aH the average nan avoids contact with some onluirioiiM disease. This shows he disfavor in which irreat com inatioriH of wealth arc held, and he belief (only too well justified i >y experience) that these Heme orporations have nothing hut heir own Hellish interests in ' iew. Never are they patriotic nd considerate of the public ( tKxl. ( The eyes of the Kreat army of Southern commercial truvelers re today turned ujsm (ioorjfia. 'he news has jfone forth that he railroad commission of that ttate will today hear final testimony on the prayer of the commercial travelers for relief from he present ruling of the roads i) require mileujfo to he exhunted for tickets before bat* ;age can be checked, or the ourncy betun. The Democratic party of New fork State seems not to have nade a mistake in nominating Congressman William Sulzer of Brooklyn for Governor. Mr. lulzer has long been a member f the House of Representatives nd is regarded by the country s a man of ability. If he is not lected Governor it will be beause this is not a Democratic ear in the Empire State. m m m } j P01NTID PARAGRAPHS. i No person and no government ' i ever justified in violating )lemn obligations made with ue deliberation, for the sake of laterial gain. Whenever done ^ lessens the moral tone and ( reeds distrust, and in the long an it works injuriously to the iolator. i ?? I It is all very proper that one 1 e conscious of his own defects ut he should not desist from elping others until those de ects are overcome. If he should he world would show but little etterment. Neither would his iwn defects be remedied. Nothing sets so wide a mark >e^ween a vulgar and noble soul is respect for and reverential ove of womankind. A man who s always sneering at woman is norally low and coarse. People who live to no purpose ire generally the first to be weary >f life although they show no lisposition to reach the end. One of the best evidences of rood breeding is a disinclination o pry into the private affairs of thers. The ideals that a man cherishes lo not amount to much if they ire surrendered at the first atack. The man who comes up to his iwn idea of greatness has alvays had a very low standard >f greatness. With many people life's greatist worry is the habit of worryng over l'ttle things. The man who is perpetually ;uspicious is like a sentinel who s never relieved. Big Promotion for Pineville Man. Many in this section will be * ? i nterestea to Know tnat ivir. ^ewis Bailes, a Pineville young nan who some years ago resided n Fort Mill, has become head of he department of public speakng in the Alabama State Nornal college at Florence. The Birmingham Ledger, in a recent ssue, had this to say, in part, of Mr. Bailes' promotion: George Lewis Bailes, the head )f the department of public speaking which has just been tdded at the Alabama State formal College at Florence, is a rraduate of Wake Forest, North Carolina, and a former member )f the editorial statf of The Birningham Ledger. In recognition )f his services at Florence last ear, the board of trustees have nade a new and separate de)artment on public speaking and )laced him in charge. The course s required of all the students vho do regular work in the iterary societies and is growing ;o be one of the most popular in he institution. Mr. Bailes demoted a great part of his time at Wake Forest to the study of ;his subject, and is admirably itted for the new position. He s himself a polisheo and a fluent speaker, and understands the art >f imparting what be has learned jo others. N % < { The Cotton Crop. There is no more important matter to the South at thiH time uf the year than the prospect# for the cotton yield. A short , crop may mean high prices, hut < it also means less labor for the 1 work people, less profits for the ' transportation companies and middlemen and an uneven dis- , tribution of the value of the crop among the producers. On the other hand, a law crop stimulates trade in all lines, and it by no means follows that such 1 11 supply will sell at unprofitable prices, as the history of the past neason amply demonstrated. The consumption of cotton hy the world is increasing all the time, 1 und as the South supplies the irreat hulk of the staple required, this section must steadily increase its production if the needs of the consumers are to be properly supplied. There is no doubt that the crop now maturing and coming to markot was grown on a slightly smaller acreage than last year, and it is also a fact that the start of the crop was late. These facts would seem to promise a somewhat smaller yield than a year ago. On the other hand, the weather since the middle of July has been very favorable and much of the ground lost early in the season has been recovered. The grout cot ton-producing State of Texas litis had an unusually favorable season and from all accounts will produce an even larger crop than hist year. Oklahoma also, although planting a smaller acreage, will in till probability market ti greater yield than a year ago. The Mississippi valley, notwithstanding the handicap of floods and insect pests, promises to market more cotton than last year. On the other hand, the States.on the Atlantic coast and Alabama will probably fall short of last year in the season's outturn owing to the unpropitious weather during the spring and early summer. From all present indications, therefore, we are promised a cron somewhat small er than last year, it is true, hut nevertheless a large crop, probably second only to the immense yield of last year. Even a larger yield, however, will not prevent the world's needs from absorbing the great bulk of the offerings at paying prices, and it is this fact that should be kept in mind rather than the probable yield. There is no prospect of materially lower prices unless the production greatly exceeds present expectations.?New Orleans Picayune. Will Hold Big Fair. For forty-three years the people of South Carolina have had me place at which to assemble. It is the one time of rejoicing at the prosperity and progress of the State. Every fall the South Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical society has held its fair in Columbia regardless of conditions and crops. This year the prosperity of the State and the excellent crop conditions will bring to Columbia Oct. 26 to Nov. 1, probably the largest crowd they have ever had at a State fair. President J. Arthur Banks, Secretary J. M. Cantey and the force of officials have not been saying very much, but have been hard at work for some time per fecting the plans and arrangements to give the people who have been faithful and loyal to the fair a 'oetter exhibit than they have ever had. It is the intention of the authorities to have the new steel structure ready for occupancy for the fair t his year, and in this connection the exhibits of the field crops at the State fair will be to some extent the basis of the National Corn exposition. Exhibits that are placed at the fair will be retained, if they are prize winners, for the corn exposition. The program for the week will, of course, include horse racing, arena displays and games of football between Clemson and the University of South Carolina anu other teams, and many other features. Authorities or tne state iair have increased the premium list substantially, so as to emphasize the agricultural feature of the fair. New Stamps for Parcels Post. Arrangements have been made by Postmaster General Hitchcock for engraving and manufacturing a series of 12 stamps, unique in size and novel in design, for use in forwarding packages by the new parcels post. Under the law recently enacted by Congress ordinary stamps can not be used for this purpose. The new issue will be in three series of designs. The first will illustrate modern methods of transporting mail; the second series will show at work in their several environments the four great classes of postal employes, postoffice clerks, railway mail clerks, city letter carriers and rural delivery carriers. The third series will represent industrial scenes. The stamps will be ready for distribution December 1 in order that the GO,000 postoffices may be supplied with them before the law becomes effective January 1. Saves Leg of Boy.
