THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 14,1912. |
While it is of course unfortunate
that differences of opinion
have arisen among Democratic
congressman as to the wisdom
of the President calling an extra
session of Congress to meet within
a few weeks after the adjournment
of the regular session
on March 4 next, nothing resembling
a serious breach in the
party is anticipated as a result of
the conflicting opinions on the
subject. As the average man
views the situation, President
Wilson will do the right thing to
call the proposed extra session
as soon as practicable after he is
inaugurated. The country is
groaning under the burdens of
the high cost of living and if it is
possible to afford relief by a
general reduction of the tariff,
it is the plain duty of the Democratic
party to go to work to that
end as soon as possiDie. wuc
may attribute the Democratic
landslide of the recent election
to what he will, but the fact is
after all that the main issue upon
which the contest hinged was
th$ tariff, and if the present
tariff law is not responsible for
the high eost of living, then two
and two are six. In the North
and West, where the election
was decided, the masses pinned
p their faith to the Democracy because
it promised to enact tariff
legislation favorable to the pockets
of the people. The Democratic
party is morally bound to
. ? reduce the tariff schedules of
the Payne-Aldrich law and it is
in the interest of both the people
and the party that it be done
without delay.
This fall the Canadian Pacific
Railway is sending to the various
stations along its line one millior
flower bulbs besides a large
amount of seeds. These are tc
be planted in the grounds arounc
stations and the houses of sectior
foremen, and with the bulbs,
plants and flowers already plant
ed there will be millions of flowers
next spring beautifying the
premises of the company and
gladdening the eyes of the public.
In addition to the bulbs and
other things supplied the company
gives a large number oi
prizes for the best gardens, the
value running all the way from
five dollars to twenty-five dollars.
The company states in s
public letter that the beauty
spots at its station are not only
f pleasing to the eye, but that the
influence upon the station agents
and section men is most salutary.
It asserts that it leads them tc
have cleaner stations and platforms
and to dress more neatly.
Doubtless similar results are
noted by those wideawake lines
in/bur country that make provision
to have their stations present
an attractive appearance.
It is a wonder that there is an)
line that neglects so sensible ?
plan, especially when it is considered
that the results are sc
great for the small cost it imposes.
Yet it is a fact that then
are railroads that seem to delight
not only in refusing to do it, but
w ho seem to take a sort of un
hallowed satisfaction in having
their station premises dirty anc
unattractive to the great discomfort
of their patrons.
The presidential campaign just
ended was unusual in man)
respects, and its closing days
brought a deep tinge of sadnesj
by reason of the death of Vice
President Sherman. Mr. Sher
man as a politician had man)
opponents, especially in latei
vears as he retained his old po
litical beliefs during all thai
period of transition which lec
many of his former colleague*
to embrace views so differenl
from those he so tenaciouslj
held. But as a man Mr. Sherman
had hosts of friends anc
among the most prominent anc
steadfast were many who conscientiously
differed from hinr
politically. His genial disposi*
tion, sterling private and business
character, his charming
home life, and his superiority tc
f rancor combined to earn for hirr
gtt the sobriquet of "Sunny Jim,'
which he was popularly knowr
during the campaign of 1908.
Those cordial personal relations
he held with so many, both within
and without his party, were s
conspicuous proof that political
differences and private friendship
may consistently exist together.
And it is a noteworthy
fact that many ^ho gave and
took many lusty blows with him
in the political arena mourn his
departure as sincerely as those
who were always his political
allies.
There is much speculation as
to the future of Colonel Roosevelt
and his Progressive party.
The New York World says if t! e
new party is to live, it will have
to decide pretty soon whether it
is going to be Republican or
anti-Republican. In some States
it is Republican by name. In all
States it is so in principle. Circumstances
made it comparative ly
easy this year to have two
ably led and well-financed Republican
parries in the field, but
the conditions of 1912 are not
likely soon to return. Two protective-tariff.
trust and monopoly
parties are at least one too many,
and it will not take the practical
men who have been made rich
by protection and privilege very j
i.L.
long to discover me iacu
The Newberry Herald and
News very sensibly observes that
a matter which were better left
out of the newspapers is the effort
which young Ben Tillman is
making to regain possession of
his two little girls who were
given into the custody of their
mother by a decree of the Supreme
Court three years ago.
But it is a matter of news because
it is a matter in which the
people are interested. Sometimes
it is hard to recognize the
line of demarcation between what
ought to be printed and what
ought not, keeping in mind a
newspaper's duty to the public,
to the conventions of society, and <
to itself and its editor.
Too many people are nothing
but negations. If they are not
guilty of positively bad habits
they are equally free of good
habits. They exist not live,
vegetate and not grow. The
community is neither better or
worse for their presence. They
are simply nonentities whose
whole existence can be chronicled
by two dates -that of their birth
and that of their death.

MRS. WOOCR*
TILLMAN WELL AND HAPPY.
J. W. Gregory in Union Progress.
Senator B. R. Tillman, whom I
visited at his home at Trenton
last week looks very well and
hardy, and is taking a great deal
of interest in his farming operations.
It was on last Monday that I
went to Trenton and was met at
the station by Mr. Moore, a sonin-law
of Senator Tillman from
Atlantic City, who drove me to
the Senator's home about a third
of a mile from the station. When
I anived at Senator Tillman's
residence I found him working
among the flowers, and looking
unusually well and happy. In
the afternoon while we were
talking he showed me a scrap
book in which he had pasted
many cartoons and newspaper
clippings from ail over the world
about himself, and some of the
cartoons were, so ridiculous that
we had quite a laugh over them.
Among other things in the
scrap book, he showed me a letter
I had written him over 19
years ago when I was county
chairman of Reform movement
in Union, and manager of his
campaign here. Another letter
was one from the late William
v L-i? *? tU
A. IMCnUlSUU, l ui wiiujii wuv.
senator had quite a high regard.
In the parlor of the Tillman
home is what the Senator refers
to as his original pitchfork,
which was presented him some
years ago by his admirers in the
West. This pitchfork is silver
mounted, and on the tines are
ribbons of the national colorsred,
white and blue.
Senator Tillman who has always
been engaged in farming,
is now taking great interest in
it, and seemingly is making a
specialty of raising asparagus.
Last year he made clear over all
expenses $200.00 on an acre,
shipping the asparagus to New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore
and other northern cities, where
it commands a good price.
Just now Senator Tillman is
quite interested in growinghedge
which is "pigproof," and which
will do away with wire fencing.
From what he has been able to
do so far, he is very much
pleased with the experiment,
and believes it is entirely practicable.

who was born inPineville, N. C.,
Nov. 2, 1795.
Zachariah Taylor, who followlowed
Polk was a southerner, a

He was a whig.
Buchanan was a Democrat but
not a southerner.
Andrew Johnson was a native
of Raleigh, N. C., but was not a
