It is a good thing for this country, thinks one of our exchanges, that a good, level headed man is at its head just at this time, and that after March 4 another good, level headed man will take his place instead of a firebrand like Roosevelt. It would be an easy matter to plunge this country in a war with Mexico, which it is estimated would cost the United Cfrntstr, AAA AAA ? J 1 CAA uvovtra ipi,wu,vw tx utxy ttiiu u\J\J, 000 men for two years at least, one third of whom possibly would be killed or die of disease. This or more is what intervention would cost us. For this reason we are glad that President Taft, whose treatment of the Mexican trouble has been very wise, and Congress has determined to move Blowly in the matter. It would be unwise for this country to intervene whenever a revolution may arise in the various countries simply because American capital is invested in them or because some Americans are residents of them. Americans who may live in countries where revolutions break out should take their chances with other citizens living there. We agree with Senator Tillman, Bacon and other high officials ot the Government, that the situa tion in Mexico is greatly to be deplored, not only for its rff.-ct upon the Mexicans, but for its possible effect upon ourselves. The greatest calamity that could befall us in this connection would be for a condition u> arise that would require or provoke: us to intervene and endeavor to take charge of affairs in Mexico. ; It would absolutely revolutionize this government. The SpanishAmerican War did more to overturn and re vol ui ionize ou** institutions than did the Civil War. Senator Bacon says "if we: went into Mexico it is very doubtful if we stiould ever come out of it If we were to attempt thereafter to hold Mexico and govern that country it could only be by making it a subject colony, , as it could never become a part of our representative govern- J ment." The senator is right, and for that reason the United States had better keep out of the Mexican mess, if she can possibly do so. In interveninc in Mexico we have much to lose and very little or nothing to gain. So we had better keep out of the mess. The Times had the pleasure (?) Monday morning of witnessing a resident of Fort Mill paying over to^n agent a subscription for a newspaper published in a distant part of the country. This transaction would have been of little interest to the average person and would not have interested the publisher of this newspaper, except for the fact that this particular resident was numbered among the few who only a few weeks ago were dropped from The Times' list for nonpayment of subscription. The agent was fortunate in collecting his pay in advance. The people of South Carolina are due Senators Tillman and Smith thanks for the part they took in the passage of the Webb bill, after it had been vetoed by President Taft. We have seen no record of how South Carolina's represent Olives in the lower house voted in the matter, but feel confident that they also helped rdong with the passage of the bill. jBgSJgt,' ;*7 4r t - ' v:.-V V Nix Cloud Kelt Dead.
