Scramble for the Presidency.
We agree with a contemporary that
there is sound sense in what Herbert
Hoover, ex-Secretary McAdoo and Senator
Borah say about this scramble for
the presidency. So far it's a scramble
based wholly on the political aggressiveness
of candidates whose views on
important questions are practically unknown
to the people. These men are
taking advantage of the psychological
condition of the public mind, dissatisfied
with but not decided as to a remedy. If
these candidates have given the matter
any thought at all they evidently believe
that if they succeed they can satisfy.
They are taking a big chance as are
the people who are "instructing" delegates
for them. It's the old game;
why not play it in the old way?
There are several reasons why a new
game should be played in a new way.
First, conditions may materially change
before the national conventions are
held, greatly influencing public opinion.
Second, tne independent vote
this year will be too big a factor to be
ignored with impunity. Third, there

many women as men will vote in thiB
presidential election, and women cannot
be counted before their votes are
cast. Such possibilities may in a
measure be discounted, yet this means
the taking of "the gambler's chance,"
besides the "uninatr >cted" delegates
generally reflect best at the crucial
moment public opinion of both issues
and candidates.
Justice for the Catawbas.
> Columbia Record.
Without questioning the humane and
friendly purpose of the South Carolina
commission which is soon to repair
t> the Catawba Indian reservation
near Fort Mill, for the purpose of
trying to effect a settlement with that
race, The Record hopes that full justice
will be done toward the Indians.
For nearly 400 years the noblest race
of mankind on the broad face of the
earth has been buffeted about, kicked
and cuffed like a yellow hound, insulted,
snubbed and openly robbed of home and
all that makes life dear, by a job lot of
hypocrites, stalking to and fro, boasting
all the while that they are the "most
liberty loving" people on land or sea?
that's us.
In other words, we take with the red
hand of the plunderer valuable lands.
virgin iure.su, roaring screams, and in
return "treat" with the victims we
have robbed and perchance give them
a "sop" out of the victuals we have
taken from them. Indeed, the Indian
of South Carolina, now alas ! only a
skeleton of his former self, has been
treated on the same plan as was the
Maine hunter's dog.
A hunter got lost in the Maine woods
and wandered about for several days,
with no companion save his dog. Finally
to keep from dying by starvation
he cut off the dog's tail, roasted it, and
after gnawing it clean, gave the poor
dog the bone of its own tail to gnaw.
That is the fate of the Red Man whom
we have about annihilated.
Now the tragedy will be complete if
the home life of the brave, proud, noble
people whom we know as the Indidans,
be they Catawbas or Pimas, if
every safeguard for their protection,
uplift and care are not thrown about
them. And while we are about it, we
again declare that South Carolina should
hang its head in shame because it tries
to force a proud, disdainful people like
the Indians to school their children with
negro pupils.
Thank God they refuse and that they
look not up to us, nor any animal, from
a white man down to a jack rabbit, to
this day.

DREAM OF All OPIUM-EATER
I DaQulnccy. I
< i??" 7^11^* 11 ^fcii^n^fcu^n^i] |
The Malay has been a fearful enemy
far months. I have been every night,
through his means, transported into
Asiatic scenes. 1 know not whether
others share in my feeling on this point;
but I have often thought that if I were
compelled to forego England, and to
live in China, and among Chinese manners
and modes of life and scenery, 1
should go mad. The causes of my horror
lie deep; and some of them must be
common to others. Southern Asia, in
general, is the seat of awful images
and associations. As the cradle of the
human race, it would alone have a dim
and reverential feeling connected with
it. But there are other reasons. No
man can pretend that the wild, barbarous
and capricious superstitions of Africa,
or of savage tribes elsewhere, affect
him in the way that he is affected
by the ancient, monumental, cruel and
elaborate religions of Indoetan, etc.
The mere antiquity of Asiatic things, of
their institutions, histories, mode* of
faith, etc., is so impressive that to me
the vast age of the race and name
overpowers the sense of youth in the
individual. A young Chinese seems to
me an antediluvian man renewed. Even
Englishmen, though not h?H In >
knowledge of such institutions, cannot
out shudder at the mystic sublimity of
castes that have flowed apart, and refused
to mix, through such immemorial
tracts of timp; nor can any man fail to
be awed by the names of the Ganges,
or Euphrates. It contributes much to
these feelings that Southern Asia is,
and has been for thousands of years,
the part of the earth most swarming
with human life; the great offlcia gentium.
Man is a weed in those regions.
The vast empires also, in which the
enormous population of Asia has always
been cast, give a further sublimity to
the feelings associated with all Oriental
names or images. In China, over and
above what it has in common with the
rest of Southern Asia, I am terrified by
the modes of life, by the manners, and
the barrier of utter abhorrence, and
want of aympathy, placed between us
by feelings deeper than I can analyze.
I could sooner live with lunatics, or
brute animals. All this, and much more
than 1 can say, or have time to say,
the reader must enter into before he
can comprehend the unimaginable'horror
which these dreams of Oriental imagery,
ani mythological tortures, impressed
upon me. Under the connecting
feeling of tropical heat and vertical
sunlights, I brought together all creatures,
birds, beasts, reptiles, all trees
and plants, usages and appearances,
that are found in all tropical regions,
and assembled them together in China
or IndoBtan. From kindred feelings, I
soon brought Egypt and all her gods
under the same law. I was stared at,
h(>oted at, grinned at, chatted at, by
monkeys, by paroquets, by cuckatoos.
1 ran into pago.ias, and was fixed for
centuries at the summit or in secret
rooms; I was the idol; I was the priest;
I was worshipped; 1 was sacrificed. 1
fled from the wrath of Brama through
all the forests of Asia; Vishnu hated
me; Seeva laid wait for me. I came
suddenly upon Isis and Osiris; I had
done a deed, they said, which the ibis
and the crocodile trembled at. I was
buried, for a thousand years, in stone
coffins, with mummies and sphynxes, in

kisses, by crocodiles, and laid,
confounded with unutterable slimy
things, amongst reeds and Nilotic mud.

pastor of the Fort Mill Presbyterian
church, of which the bride has been a
member for several years. During the
ceremonA, "1 l.ove You Truly" was

were spoken before an improvised altar
of ferns and ivy. The bride wore a
navy blue suit, with hat to match, and
a corsage bouquet. ,
