A pood deal is beinR said in tne presidential campaign oy republican Candidate Hughes about the number of Americans who have been murdered in Mexico since the revolutions began in that country several years ago. Of course Judge Hughes undertakes to place the blame for the outrages at the door of the Democratic administration, but the, country recalls without much ; mental effort that quite as many Americans were killed in that country under President Taft as ! under President Wilson. So like most of- the carping criticisms the ex-judge is aiming at the administration, this complaint is apt to fall on deaf ears. But aside from the thought of partisan politics, there is an observation or two we wish to make *u:? T. ill uus cuiiiieizuuu. 11 a ueplorabie fact that the rights of American citizens either resident or traveling through foreign countries are not respected as they should be, because of the vacillating policy of this government. This' condition of helplessness of the American citizen abroad is not chargeable to either of the great political parties. Certainly not since the Civil war has any administration been firm and insistent in demanding that the rights of our nationals in foreign countries be respected. We I could have profited much by fol-! lowing the precedent set by Oliver Cromwell in dealing with outrages perpetrated in foreign countries upon Englishmen during the time he was lord protector. Englishmen in Cromwell's reign were safe the world over from unlawful molestation because the world knew what manner of man Old Ironsides was and that if his countrymen J were not justly treated while abroad there would be swift and certain retribution for the injustice done them. Perhaps the day will come when the American citizen. in whatever part of the world he may he. will be as safe from mistreatment as Paul was when he asked the Jews who were about to strike him in Jerusalem. "Is it lawful to beat a Roman?" and the answer came from the captain of the guard. "Be careful what you do to that man." Every Democrat in South Carolina ought to have a registration certificate so that he can cast his ballot in the general elec tion next November. As we see the matter, there is an implied if not an express obligation on members of the party who vote in the primaries to likewise participate in the general elections. But bacause this is true, the fact does not afford State Chairman John Gary Evans sufficient reason to see things that no other man is even dreaming of. Because some irresponsible newspaper writer sent out of Colum bia a few days ago an imaginary story that there might be an independent candidate in the election against Governor Manning, Evans improves upon the incident to issue to "The Democratic Voters of South Carolina" an appeal to be ready to "face a seiious disaster." If Chairman Evans isn't entirely uninformed, lie know* that there isn't going to be a bolt from the Democratic nominee; but he could not withstand the opportunity to get a little advertising for himself. Announcement is made that Thomas M. Seawell, at present editor of the Hampton County Herald, has accepted the editor-1 ship and management of the York News and will take up his j ? w foaitKua October lit. < . t tt .Ti ~- ' / Not Educated. Commenting in his paper, the \nderson Tribune, on a remark attributed to one of his "friends" that he is a tolerably fair writer but lacks education. Editor V. B. Cheshire dissents in the first part of the editorial to the statement that he is uneducated, but finally agrees with his "friend" that his education is somewhat limited. He says, in part: "Not educated! Well, perhaps not. I sometimes feel as though my education has been neglected, when I see a man whose father made all the money the family ever will have doing his best to belittle the struggles of some poor wretch who has alwavs been compelled to earn every bite of bread he eats. I realize the lack of education when I meet a graduate in Selfishness, who does not seem to understand why a working man should be permitted to live. When I meet a professor of Envy, Spite, Hate and Impoliteness, I cannot help remembering that I am deficient in that line, because of the lack of early education in those very common branches. "Yes, I believe that I am uneducated. Of course, I have picked up enough by coming in contact with good men. to be honest, decent, God fearing, charitable and philanthropic, and to rejoice when I see other people i?rosperous and happy, but on account of meagre educational facilities am entirely ignorant in the higher branches of learning such as Hypocrisy, Envy. Jealousy and Selfishness." Will Redeem Federal Stamps. Individuals and firms who have federal revenue stamps on hand will doubtless learn with interest that by following proper procedure these stamps will be redeemed by the internal revenue department. As is generally Known, me stamp act was a polished by act of congress some weeks ago, and since that time I). C. Heyward, of Columbia, collector of internal revenue, has issued a statement in which he says that there is a special form for filing a claim against the internal revenue department and upon application this form. No. 4(>, will be furnished to anyone having stamps on hand. The reasons why the refund is asked, together with a statement as to where the stamps were purchased, that is from a collector's office or elsewhere, if purchased at a discount and the date of purchase, should be inserted on the face of the claim and sworn to by a notary public, with a seal iorwarneu to tne collector's office. After claim has been examined hv the collector, it is forwarded to the commissioner of internal revenue at Washington, where final action is taken and the claim is either allowed or rejected. The New County Matter. The.subject of "Catawba" county. which had been almost forgotten in the discussion of politics and other matters during the past few months, has again been brought to the fore by the announcement made in Columbia a few days ago that an en banc session of the State supreme court will be held on October 13 and 14. at which time the constitutionality of the ill-shaped county act will be passed on. The order for the en banc session was issued Thursday afternoon, and will be attended by all the circuit judges: Several other cases in addition to the "shoe-string" county act will be passed on at this session. ? York News. For "Curing" Meat. Now, that "hog-killing time" is near, the following information furnished by the government as to the proper methop of "curing" pork doubtless will be of interest to many of our readers: "Curing meats with brine is a good method for farm use. It is 1 . ii. less irouDie to pack the meat in a barrel and pour brine over it than to go over it three or four times and rub in salt, as in the dry-curing method. The brine j also protects the rmat from insects and vermin. Brine made of pure water and according to the directions in the following repipe should keep a reasonable length of time: "Hub each piece with fine common salt and pack closely in a barrel, and let stand overnight. The next day weigh It) pounds of salt and 2 ounces of saltpeter to each 100 pounds of meat and dissolve in 4 gallons of boiling water. Pour this brine over the meat when cold, cover well ana weight down to keep it under the brine. Meat will pack best1 if cut into pieces about 6 inches square. Pork should be kept in the Lrinc until used." j * , \ ^ I THE FOET MH | 4,0 I Writing Tablets bou mendous rise in the ] I Rexall line of tablets popular with student them realize values v t Put one of them besi< | of the same number < will find better papei Same leaves, bet Same paper, mo I Compare them.
