The new* of the election of Governor Roosevelt has been received favorably throughout all nations, JI Si ll F. FOR A CHANGE A California jury ha-s convicted a promoter" of forgery and grind theft in a loss of $110,000 suffered by a widow. .It was brought out in court that he induced the bereaved one to turn over to him money and Stocks to that amount for investment. Rut he made no investment. As the trial judge pronounced .sen-.' tence of from 18 to 220 years he is quoted as laying;. "I recommend that you be incarcerated until the prison clock ticks out the last sentence of your long term." Two hundred and twenty years 1 Heem* to be a rather exaggerated sentence for thievery in this day of lax financial morals. A couple of years with-time off for good behavior, we believe, is ;.b?.ut the amount of one's time the courts usually request in cases of this ?ort. Therefore it is ref-eshing to note that somewhere in the country the*e is a feeling that one shouldn't lay hold of anothers 4-arnings and squander them without paying " ju-t penalty for h:s enterprise.?Green vibe New-. ^ MHKI. LAWS OF STATE That South Carolina has the most abominable libel law* or lack of a real libel law. is an accepted fact. Hands of the newspaper* of the state are tied and the reading public is denied information, oftentimes to which it is honestly entitled. But legislatures for years have refused to offer any legal protection to the newspaper* in their efforts to honestly present the new*. There i? still a hope among Palmetto newspaper men that sortie time South Carolina will have a legislature that will treat newspapers at least as decently and as fairly a* does practically every other state in the union.?Rock Hill Herald. WHAT IS POP I PARITY? v Many folks, particularly young people of the reserved natures, often d<, not understand why they are not popular. They envy folks who alway have admirers and friends. ?*" Manv >!* superior intellect look (|,,w n on pt?jiu 1 arity. I*hej *av ?t -.how - a too easy going nature. The latter hold that if a person is to live sincerely and do his duty, he must often 'antag<?nize others, and make himself exceedingly unpopular. P<>pular.ty comes in different ways. In the old days of free liquor a lot of people acquirer! popularity by the freedom with which they passed around the bottle. Many traveling salesmen used the tactics of 'passing around booze to merchants to land orders. This was the basis on which many politicians got their start. They Were always ready to line up their friends in front of the brass rail and have several rounds at their expense. Mar.y people win popularity by free spending, by living extravagantly and mattering cash in all directions. On the other hand many people acqui-e popularity by devoting themselves > some public cause. ( ollege boy- who arry -m student activities usually a qu -e populari'y. They are en v. Cod.

SAVING FARMERS' BACON j Many lc? and Cold Storage Plant* to Cure Farm-Killed Meot Columbia. Nov. b.?"It now items I tbat our five-at-home program, ?o far , a* pork product* i* concerned, ha? i taken a considerable stride forward,": says J. R. Hawkins, extension live-! stock specialist, reporting results of killing and cutting demonstrations and efforts to seeure cold storage ; facilities^ for curing home-produced ' meats. : Following the four sectional meet-i ing* in early October to further train county farm agents in meat cutting,; when Mr. Hawkins was assisted by K. F. Warner, of the Bureau of AnjI mat Industry at Washington, Mr Hawk)lis and the agents have been hci^r.g p utting demonstrations for f\'mers jh various parts of the state. ; ' Several new ne and cold storages plants nave become interested in the j {Stor.(ig of meat for the farmer*",' " ays Mr. Hawkins regarding the , movement to get cold storage facilh j ties. "The Hartsvjlle Ice and Fuel ^Company has equipped a cold storage i room and has installed bins and plans! to extend the services offered last ,year so as to take fresh-killed meat,' chill it, apply the curing mixture, overhaul and resalt, and notify the far-' | mors when the meat is ready to take1 jout. At Johnston, McQueen Quattle-! baum is fitting a room in his cold, storage plant for taking care of meat :n a similar manner. The Allendale Ice and h ue! Company is planning to fit up one room in the plant to furn.>.h this service to farmers. The Florence Ice and Fuel. Company, is planning to fit up two cold storage plant- in Florence county to take are of the fneut in that section, and the K ng-tree plant to furnish the -e'vi- e m that -c lion, and possibly the plant at Manning as well. The Oiarichtoa Ice Plant, with ,branches at Hollywood and Summerville, is fitt.ng up these plants for receiving meat, and we have prospects that Mr. i'eiter of the Palmetto Fi-h arid Oysiter Company, Columbia, will arrange to take care of meat here. "We hope to extend the ifst conjs.derably to include plants in other - sections an<l thereby make this serj vice available to most farmers in the eastern and lower parts of this state. prevailing low price of hogs, together with the memory of the bad results of last year's meat curing, will lead many farmers to patronize cold storage plants as a means'.of keeping their meat." A new Spanish penal code to take the place of one adopted in 1R70 has just been published at Madrid. Under the new code the death penalty is j abolished and nf hcj- penalties are reduced. Ford assembling plants in a numi lx-r of cities over the country will be P. !o-ed withir. the next few day-. ;t is ; announced in dispatches of Sunday.

Expenses Outrunning Income A great life insurance company pays tens of thousands of dollars buying the most expensive advertising space to tell the people of the United States that strCce 1913 population has increased 129 per cent, rhe income of the nation 191 per cent, ar.d the expenditures of governments j or all grades, from township t-j na : ien. 1,.) per cer.t.

I Capital Observations (Special Corr?*pond?no*) Washington, D. C., Nov. 8.?A ^ew miles below Washington, on an eminence overlooking the historic Potomac river, lies Mount Vernon, the home of George Washington, the father of our country. Everything in and about the mansiofi' 1s as it was when occupied, and the sundry buildings on the place are in a wonderful state of preservation. ,'His coach used by General Washington on his trip to New York at the time of his inau-tiration can be seen. The premises a e in charge of and are the property of an organisation of patriotic women-. In the past efforts have been roadte to establish a national shrine there by the Federal government, and some objection ha* ??>een raised to the charge of the small admission fee, twenty-five COiVts. 0 However, it >* generally realised that the present management is ffes.lj and is not likely to be disturbed." The United States postal service is the greatest business organization in j the World, and its magnitude and multifarious activities are not generally realized. It has had a very material part in the development of highways I and railroads, particularly in new sections of the country, through the establishment of rural and star routes land mail service on the railroads. ' There are approximately 400,000 ^m- j ployees and over 3*5,000 post offices., j Formerly ' there' were several more thousand offices, but with the advc... of rural delivery a very large number were discontinued. The sight the other day of a basket of !u-ciou<. ripe persimmons br< ught to mind another delectable delicacy, the 'possum. In days long past?was over forty years ago? there was published in C. mcier. ' the Kershaw Gazette, well rem- niberei by the older citizen-, ahd a : spiend.d new .-paper it was, too. ' About this time of the year ?it would | remind its readers in eloquent and I welcome language that "possums | getting ripe." Flection day means nothing in Washington so far as voting is concerned, as there is no balloting here. There is intense interest, however, in the outcome, particularly among trie tens of thousands of residents in the government service, from every atA.e in the union. Many of the states provide for absentee voting, and that has been availed of very general.) this year. Senator Jas. F. Byrnes rendered valuable service in the national campaign just closed in the way of speeches, written articles and conferences regarding policies. In Lancaster this year Hon. T. Y. ! Williams was prevailed upon t-. re! enter public life hv offering for '.he legislature. He has a gloom \ but; doubtless well-founded view of the ! financial prospects of the state g >v-j crnment. and has expressed him-elfj j in the following language: "Our ec- j jonomic condition is not improving.! The state'.- income this year, .1 1 am iiorrectly informed, will be very ..ttle more than eight m.Hion dollars our, expenses ten million. Our sources of j income are drying up. 11c- shall probably collect two million do..arS less next year than this." In connection with the subject of | high taxes and the need for economy ' it may be noted that the salary paid the governor of South Carolina. $7,300, is greater than that of twentyfive other states. Nine pay the same as this state, while thirteen pay more. The adjoining states of North Carolina and Georgia, each larger, wealthier and more populous, pay less than South Carolina. The largest sa.ary paid by a state is $25,000 by New York, and the smallest. $3,000, by South Dakota. Wound Clock, loo? i The courthouse is a good place to -tudy human nature.

Pork Curing Plant For Georgetown Andrews, Oct. 25?-An efficient and practva* plan for curing pork for farmers ^nounccd here by M. M. McCord, agent as another atep in the terming in this section. Thftagh, an arrangement with an ice company having plants here and at Georgetown, a part of the Andrews plant will be traiv?foYti>ed? at once mto refrigeration rooms for curing the meat. , The meat will be brought to the refrigeration rooms immediately after the hogs are killed, It will remain there 30 days, sufficient for complete curing, and then be returned to the farms where it may be kept indefinitely. The killing, cutting, dressing and salting of the meat will l)e done at the farms before it is brought to the storage house. The smoking and other dressing for preservation will be done after it is returned.* Mr. MoCord said that during the last few years the livestock industry has undergone rapid development every farmer, he said, has a fine drove of good hogs and revenue from this ' source has gone a long way to offset [curtailment in tobacco and cotton production. Shipments of hogs have increased steadily, despite falling prices, and ' the agricultural agent said production ; prospects this year are better than ' e\ er be fore. Peeler Popular at Trinity Church Some ton years back (time flies, j you know) Rev. Joe T. Peeler left 1 the local Methodist charge, after a popular 5-year tenure of" office. He was .-on: to Camden, but those "Sandheolians" could only hold him two years. Next he landed in Trinity 'church. Charleston. where he is breaking all records. He has served ; five year-, and his loyal congregation I will storm the annual conference at ! Florence next week to send him back j some more. It is a great compliI mcnt and this community will testify that it is deserved. He and his won derful wife are congratulated on their I rapid climb to fame and a broader usefulness.?Calhoun Times. Pew Rent The Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church in New York city has cut its pew rent twenty per cent. A seat now costs from five dollars to one hundred and twenty dollars the year. A family o?f ten must pay an annual rental of twelve hundred dollars for a pew of that size in the "highest bracket." Many people in this part of the country probably have never heard ' of pew rents but in other years it was charged even in this very part of the world. Records of old ehurehe= in the Piedmont show that peW rent was a matter of fact feature. In how many cities in South Carolina. outside of Char.eston. do the churches now charge pew rent? It is assumed that pew rent is still charged in Charleston. Everything I that ever was done there is still done." ?Greenwood Index-Journal. Drawing The Lines An Irishman went into a barber shop for a "shave. "With his fade half lathered the barber was called to the next room. - He had a pet monkey that was always imitating his boss. The monkey grabbed the brush and proceeded to finish the lather. It next hooked a razor to do the shaving. "Stop," said the Irishman. "Faith and bejabbers, you can tuck the towel and lather, but, begorrah. your daddy must do the shaving." Wants?For Sale WANTED TO HI Y?A second hand p. a no. must be cheap. Address Camden Chronicle.
