THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 6. 1913.
The future of any town depends
entirely upon its citizens.
If friends come to see you tell
them the good things about the
our town ? what we have instead
of what we need. If you
happen to have a legitimate
"kick" to make file it away until
your visiting friend departs.
There are many things in our
town to be praised and for which
we all should be thankful and
proud.
John L. McLaurin might have
made some serious mistakes
while he was United States
senator from South Carolina,

b personal success in withdrawing
from politics. Mr. McLaurin
some years ago proved himself a
political failure in South Carolina
and he has at last found it
out.
They may fight Mr. Blease in
Washington and through the
newspapers of every State in
the Union, but these do not
constitute the electorate of
South Carolina and our calm
and deliberate judgment is that
it is not going to be availing
toward keeping him out of the
Senate, observes the Charlotte
Chronicle.
And they do Hay that exGovernor
Joe Brown is to oppose
Hoke Smith for the latter's seat
in the United States senate, and
What's the wrong? If Brown

but natural for Smith to seek to
succeed him.
The Yorkville Enquirer speaks
of the gouging of the people at
the State fair last week by the
hotels. We were not present
but suppose the street car company,
as in former years,
chaiged double fares to and
from the fair grounds.
Real estate vhlues in Yorkville
are not considered by outsiders
quite as high as some of the
residents of that town appear to
believe, according to developments
of last Monday.
Say, Mister! Do you belong
to that class who has paid everyone
else except the printer? *
What 1 Saw.
Editor The Times.
One of the largest crowds 1
ever saw was packed into Mills
& Young's store. How that
crowd was ever handled so well
is more than I can fathom. They
must be giving their goods away.
The town was filled with strangers,
people who I never saw or
heard of before, and their buggies,
wagons and arms were
loaded down with nnoUorroj \
*
can't help but remark that "the
progressive merchant must get
the business." I had one of
their immense circulars and the
prices that were quoted is the
main reason, I presume, for the
vast crowds.
I am a disinterested party, but
can't help but make these remarks
in the hope of seeing the
same thing occur in our town
again. Big crowds make us feel
big and gives us a city appearance.
I congratulate Mills & Young.

THE NEWS IN BRIEF
FROM OVE^THE STATE
What was pronounced as the
greatest State fair in the history
of South Carolina closed its
gates Friday afternoon. Viewed
from the standpoints of excellence
of exhibits, attendance and
management, the State fair
. I l. _ _ 11 ? *
urutte an previous records. It
was distinctly educational in its
intent, stressing agriculture to
the subordination of everything
else, although th6 amusement
features were of a high order.
Probably 40,000 South Carolinians
saw the State fair during
the five days it was open.
Approximately 7,000 South
Carolinians have been inoculated
a&ainst typhoid fever since January
1, as a result of the sending
out of 24,000 ampules of bacterin
by the State board of health.
All of the bacteria is made in
the Columbia laboratories. Tedious
and careful work in preparing
vhe contents and in fixing
them for shipment is required.
A jury at Barnwell has rendered
a verdict in the case of
Fannie Broughton against the
| A. C. L. Railway for $15,000 for
personal injuries sustained while
a passenger at Denmark about a
year ago. A verdict against the
Southern Railway for $7,000 was
i also rendered at Barnwell in the
case of Lee Fowler, who asked
damaces on acrnnnt nf ininvioe
sustained by him at Blackville.
John Shirley, aRod 44 years,
shot himself in the head Monday
morning at 5 o'clock at his home
nearCornwell and died instantly.
He used a shotgun, placing the
barrel almost at his head, and
pulled the trigger tearing the
upper half of his head off. He
was a prosperous and industrious
; planter and was well thought ol
by his neighbors.
The board of directors of the
State penitentiary has been
called to meet in Columbia November
12 to decide finally on
the use of the convicts for the
; manufacture of chairs. The
hosiery mill, under the terms of
i an act of the last general as1
sembly, was closed Saturday.

Time required to go through
the canal, from ten to 12 hours.
Freight will be charged $1.20
per ton, passengers are free.
American coastwise ships may
pass through the canal free of
all charges.
The canal will save 8,000 miles
between New York and San ,
Frant^co.
New York is brought 5,000
miles nearer Valparaiso and the
west coast of South America.
Our Atlantic seaports are 4,000
miles nearer Australia.
The distahce to the Philippine
Islands is not reduced materially.
Hulk products like wheat, lumber,
minerals, wool, hides and
wines will get lower rates
through the canal from the Pa
wiwi- ports.
Eastern machinery, textiles,
manufactures and finished products
will enjoy cheaper rates to
Pacific ports.
Staple products of the South,
cotton, iron. coal, lumber and
ship supplies will have* similar
advantages to the Orient and
Pacific ports.
Immigration will be* deflected
in large number from New York
to Pacific ports.
The cost of operating the canal
will exceed $4,000,000 annually.
To pay interest 011 the investment
and operating expenses
approximately $15,000,000 revenue
per annum will be needed.
Traffic experts estimate that
for the first few years the
average tonage will be 10.000,000
ton, not enough at the $1.20 rate
to make the canal self-supporting.
The rates charged vessels are
the same as those of Suez.
The government will monopolize

coal and provisions and operating
repair facilities.
Great drydocks, wharves, warehouses,
repair shops and other
facilities to cost $20,000,000 are
under construction.
All permanent buildings will
be of the Italian renaissance
style of architecture. The route
of the canal will be beautified
with trees, etc.?Leslie's.

Saturday started upon the path
that is to bring billions into the
public treasury. Although it
has been discussed for many a
year, and its success was assured
by an amendment to the
constitutisn early last spring, its
collection by a government which
has not tried it will strain the
resources of the fertile minds in
the treasury department and
will be accompanied, it is not
doubted, with a thousand wur I
plications not now foreseen.
Ever since President Wilson
early last month signed the tariff
bill with its income tax provision ,
the machinery of the treasury
department haf been at work
upon the regulations that are to
govern collection of the tax.
Assistant Secretary Williams
said that the regulations of the
department were not difficult to
understand, but some other
officials in the department do
not agree. Thousands of letters
and telegrams bringing up for
settlement points in the new law
have poured into the department.
They have come from every conceivable
source and added to the
labor of making regulations and
nave made the task of the experts
one not to be envied.
