While the chances are that
I President-elect Wilson will never
{see this editorial and would perhaps
give it little thought if he
should see it, The Times nevertheless
avails itself of the opportunity
to add its indorsement to
the movement on foot in North
Carolina and elsewhere in the
Soutfr to secure a portfolio in the
cabinet of the President-to-be
for Josephus Daniels of North!
Carolina. Prior to and since the
Baltimore convention no man in
the country strove harder to elect
the New Jersey Governor than
the North Carolina editor. He j I
is entitled to something good at
the hands of the incoming Presii
dent and if he should be given a
I cabinet appointment not only
I North Carolina but the entire
L South would be greatly pleased,
p Another Southern man who is
' entitled to consideration in the
{ selection of the important of1
ficials of the new President is
Editor W. E. Gonzales of the
Columbia State. Mr. Gonzales
is a man of eminent ability who
would fill with distinction any ,
post for which he might be seWnnHmw
Wilson owes
WVW* ww
him no small debt of gratitude \
for the service he rendered dur- 1
ing the campaign. We are con i,
fident that the South Carolina ,
delegation to the Baltimore con- j
vention would not have support- |
ed the candidacy of Woodrow j
Wilson but for the influence of j
the Columbia State. The dele- (
gation would have gone to the >
^convention uninstructed and like- 1
ly enough Champ Clark would
have been its choice for the
nomination. I
There isn't any question that J
building yourself a house is a S
dollar-and-cents proposition. It 1
- -- - l ifl
takes money,' and to build it j
means to spend money you have (
saved or to save money you would
otherwise spend. It is pretty ]
certain to prove a good invest- j
ment. It will save you rent and i
uncertainty. It is likely to increase
in value as the town <
grows and earn more in excre- J
ment than the money would at j
interest. The building will depreciate
with time. But the lot j
should grow in value if this town '
does as well as the country at 1
f large, which is nearly doubling i
I its land values every decade. 11
But there is another side to it al- 1
so that is worth considering. (
There is another side besides the (
money side. Men of family are f
the house builders and the home ,
builders. They are thinking <
about something in addition to (
the money saved and money t
earned. They are thinking of c
the human* side. There is no *
doubt that one of the best in- (
flnpnpps fnr <?ood is the Ameri
can home. The children who j
grow up in it look back at it in
after life and the memory is an
actual moral influence. The kind
of person a fellow is when he is r
a man depends a good deal on r
the kind of home he had when t
he was a boy. i
= i:
President-elect Wilson's decis- t
ion to call an extra session of 1
Congress not later than April 15. ^
next, is in keeping with the good ^
judgement displayed by him in
all matters pertaining to public v
affairs. The American people o
have been promised a revision of t
the tariff downward and that f
promise will be kept by the Dem- e
ocratic party. The tariff sched- ?
ules have been so carefully considered
during the last two sessions
of Congress it is not likely n
that a great deal of time will be
required to prepare, report to n
the House, and have passed tariff n
schedules that will meet the requirements
of the country. t<
What is wrong with the people
of Bamberg county? The
Bamberg Herald says there were
nine murder cases to come up if'
there at a recent term of court, JJ
and Bamberg is one of the small- ^
est counties in the State. Mis- S(
sionaries to foreign fields doubt- S(
less could find plenty of work tl
nearer home. p
tl
The Abbeville Press and Ban- w
ner thinks the defeat of the big tl
Bull Moose was "the nation's P
loss and The Outlook's gain." w
'Pears to us that it would be J
more in keeping with the facts !
to say "the nation's gain and
The Outlook's loss." vi c
Congressmen to Name Postmasters?
A dispatch sent out from
Washington a few days ago said
it had been learned there from
an undeniably reliable source
that President-elect Wilson has
decided that, upon his entry into
the White House, March 4,
the appointment of all postmasters,
with the exception of those
under civil service rules, shall be
left to the members of the house
exclusively.
In the selection of such officials
the wishes of the respective
house members will be rigidly
-egarded.
Further than this it could not
be ascertained from this authority
what the President-elect will
do toward filling other positions
such as collector of the port,
district attorney, marshal 1, etc.,
but it is understood, however,
that these appointments will be
left to the recommendation of
the senators, although on this
latter point no direct information
could be secured.
This action would place the
appointment of all postmasters
not under civil service at the
disposition of the house members
and leave the larger places
to be filled as the various Demo
cracic senators nugm sukk^i.
That such a plan will be decided
upon there is no doubt,
this information coming from a
well known Senator who is on
the inside in such matters and
who has his ear close to the
ground regarding future presidential
appointments. Besides,
it is the custom followed in former
Democratic administrations.
Thanksgiving Proclamation.
In accordance with the annual
custom, the following thanksgiving
proclamation has been issued
by Governor Blease:
"The benign Ruler of the universe
having graciously granted
unto us, the people of South
Carolina, unlimited and untold
blessings during the past 12
months, having filled our borders
with abundance of everything
needed to make a happy
and contented people, it is but
right and proper that a day
should be set aside upon which
thanks should be rendered to
Him, the giver of all things.
"Therefore, I, Cole L. Blease,
governor of the State of South
Carolina, do hereby set apart
Thursday, November 28, 1912, as
a dav of thanksgiving, and in do
ing so earnestly request that, all
the people meet in their churches
ind other places of worship and
render thanks unto almighty
jod for His mercies and blessngs,
and petition for His contirtued
guidance and protection."

hree, four, five, ten, fifteen, ;
wenty, twenty-five, fifty and
eventy-five cents and one dollar. |

Telegraph Tolls of World's Series.
Newspaper men have figured
oughly that at least half a mil-j
on words were telegraphed out!
f each city during, after and
efore each game of the world's
eries. Over 200.000 words were
ent out over the regular wires,
lie great majority written in the
ress rooms of the hotels after
be game, while close to 300,000
rent out of the press box before
me game and while it was in
rogress. There were sixty-seven
dres in each city and each newsaper
man sent out an average of
000 words a day. These wires
rere strung to every point in
le country and some outside, as
anada and Cuba. . ' <
Winter Signs and Portents.
About a month ago a great
meeting of weather forecasters
was held in West Virginia. After
much deliberation the'forecasters
all decided that the coming
winter will be an unusually
severe one, basing their deductions
upon very plausible grounds
indeed. Some of their reasons
seem to indicate that the country
at large will undergo very cold
weather.
The mast is unusually heavy,
and extraordinary activity has
been observed among the jaybirds
and squirrels in storing up
caches of chinquepins, chestnuts,
acorns and beechnuts. Shetland
ponies are putting forth exceptionally
long and shaggy winter
coats. The persimmon crop is
prolific. Ground squirrels have
burrowed deeper than is their
wont. The little screech-owl has
already heavily lined their pockets
in dead trees with down and
grass. Apples are ripening before
maturity. Opossums and
raccoons are plentiful and fat.
The cows come home from the
| pasture earlier of evenings than
is their custom. Dogs are more
i than ordinarily canny and forehanded
in the burying of such
bones as can be spared from
their daily regime. And now,
i to'buttress the opinion raised by
this array of evidence that the
coming winter will be severe,
comes word from Pennsylvania
| of yet other indications observed
by the weather-wise Dutch of
Wyoming valley. They find that
I the feathers on geese hatched
last spring are considerably ruffled;
that ground hogs are digging
deeper holes; that trunks
of trees are green with moss on
the northern side; that muskrats
have already begun housing
themselves; that corn shucks are
thick, with the stalks leaning to
the west; that ducks and chickens
are growing a bony substance
on their feet; that toadstools on
old logs have many wrinkles, and
that hoot-owls have taken to the
big woods much earlier than
usual.
Surely, in the face of such a
preponderance of traditionally
trustworthy data, the unimaginative
experts of the weather bufooii
will nnf Hnrp fn nnpstion
the likelihood of a long, cold
winter season.
To Finish Election.
The voting by individuals for
President and Vice-President is
all over and the result" known,
but the following steps are required
to be taken by law. The
electors chosen on November
5th will meet on the same day in
January in their different State
capitals and cast their ballots for
the candidates that received the
most votes in their States for
President and Vice-President.
Three certificates will be signed
by the electors and sealed up.
One copy will be carried by
special messenger to Washington
arid delivered to the President
of the Senate, another will
be sent by mail to that offiekl
and the third given to the Judge
of the United States District
Court in which the capital is
situated. In February both
branches of Congress will meet
in the Hall of the House, where
and when the President of the
Senate will open the certificates
and declare the results. The
taking of the oath of office on
March 4th will finish the business.
The Tillman Troubles.
Capt. B. R. Tillman, Jr., has
brought habeas corpus proceedi
ings in the Supreme Court
: against his divorced wife, now
known as Mrs. Lucy Dugas, for
the custody of their two little
daughters. A few years ago
Capt. Tillman deeded the children
to his parents, Senator and
Mrs. B. R. Tillman Sr., but .the
court took them away and gave
them to their mother. Mrs.
Tillman went to Ohio and obtained
a divorce. Capt. Tillman
has tried to effect a reconciliation
with his wife, but in vain. He
fears she may marry again and
subject his children to a stepfather.
For three years he has
been a sober man and is farming
on his father's plantation at
Trenton.
Through Panama Next Year.
Some time next summer or fall,
no exact date being specified, a
vessel will pass what is now the
Isthmus of Panama, which consequently
must disappear from
the world's geography and by
the same human agency, the
Western Hemisphere will be
divided into two continents. The
vessel will not be the Oregon nor
any other famous ship, but will
be one of the many small water
crafts in daily use by the canal
buildings; and probably the only
passengers will be Col. George
W. Goethals and the staff of
American engineers, who for the i
past eight years have been carrying
on the greatest engineering 1
work the world has ever seen. '
It will be later than that, any- 1
where from six months to a year ?
perhaps, before the formal open- c
ir.g of the waterway will take ^
place and a naval fleet headed by
the famous old Oregon, will pass (
through into the western ocean .
and the canal may be fairly said
to be oj)en to trade.
The police officers of the town
have been very active during
the last week in their efforts to
break up the illegal sale of liquor
and as a result four arrests,
three white men and one negro,
have been made. Two of the
^hite men plead guilty and were
fined $25 each, while the third
was tried and acquitted. The
negro arrested was sent to the
county roads. ,
%
The Passing of Old Joe.
Uncle Joe Cannon, once the
Emissary Buck of the insurgents,
was long ago shooed to the
wilderness, says the New York
Sun. At last the ruthless 3avages
have eaten him; and may be?but
he won't?lie lightly in their insides.
We shall miss Uncle
Joseph. There have been better
men, but there has never been
such another specimen of the
early Assyrian type of beauty
and the pre-Progressive type of
politics. Unregenerate, uniformed,
unrepentant, he sat too
long on the seat of the scorners
while the wiser brethren were
being converted overnight, blubbering
their testimonies while
the Man of Sin was reciting from
the Dictionary of Profanity. Yes,
the old heathen will be missed.
A monument of palaeolithis politics
has fallen. Only the wicked
will dare to say that it may be
set up again and that two years
is no long time to wait when one
is as young in spirit and venerable
in deviltry.
Saves Leg of Boy.
"It seemed that my 14-year-old boy
would have to lose his leg on account
of an ugly ulcer, caused by a bad
bruise," wrote D. F. Howard, Aquone,
N. C. "All remedies and doctors'treatment
failed until we tried Bucklen's
Arnica Salve, and cured him with one
box." Cures burns, boils, skin eruption*

Hard Luck This.
His horse went dead and his
mule went lame, and. he lost six
cows in a poker game; then a
hurricane came on a summer's
day and blew the house where he \
lived away; then an earthquake
came when that was gone and
swallowed the ground that the
house was on; then promptly the
sheriff came around and collected

writes Mr. F. "for a dreadful
cough, when I was so weak my friends
all thought I had only a short time to
live, and it completely cured me." A
