Strange to say, the Orangeburg Times 1

: last week. Therefore, we do not know ,
what reply it made to our editorial, if .

* # # |
Every editor in South Carolina ought
to make an open, square fight for honest <
men for public office next year, not only <
in the State but in the counties as well, i
The press can purify politics if it will. 1
*##
8everal county treasurers have been
suspended on account of shortages. Veri
ly there is graft all around. The present \
condition of affairs in the State government
reminds one too forcibly of the days <
fs&k* of carpet bag and negro rule. 1
**#
The most important matter in the elec- 1
trie lights election is the board of public ;
works. Three good business men should
be selected for the position?men who '
will take an interest and pride in the
work and run the plant on a strict busi- ,
ness basis. We want men who will look
after the affairs of the plant as closely as
they do their own business, and who will 1
show no favoritism to anybody. There 1
Is no use to elect men who will take no
interest in it, for they would be mere
figure heads.
A
The Electric Lights Election.
H s,.
The election to be held in this city on
Tuesday, October 24th, for the purpose of i
deciding whether the town shall issue <
. bonds in a sum not to exceed fifteen '
thousand dollars, at an annual interest 1
fey rate of not more than six per cent., the
f bonds to run for forty years, is a most j
important one. At this election a board .
of public works is also to be elected, composed
of three men. The selection of this
board is a very important matter, for
they will have entire charge of the float'
. ing of the bonds and erecting and running
the plant. It is essential that safe (
business men be elected, those who will
take an interest in the business and look
i \ closely after it. Any business to succeed
must be closely watched, so our people
had best be very careful as to who they (
*/ elect as a board of public works. 1
. " We believe it will be well for the town 1
to own the electric light plant. We have ^
always favored municipal ownership of .
both water and light plants, for we be- :
lieve if a private concern can make ]
money out of these things, surely the j
town ought to. Then we believe our cit- <
izens will get better service and lower :
rates. But the plant must be managed in
a business like way. Properly managed 1
the town ought to make the plant pay all j
expenses and get the street lights practically
free, but this cannot be done until j
the private lights are considerable. Of <
course this could not be done as soon as ^
the plant is erected, but at the end of two <
years the plant should be makingmoney. j
Ifef ^ The State Fair. ]
The Chamber of Commerce of Colum- ]
bia, as has been its custom for years, is
aparing no efforts to make the approach- 1
ing State Fair one of the most successful *
. in its history. j
With cotton at 10c. and a wave of pros- ,
perity sweeping the State, it is expected (
that the attendance will exceed all foim- ]
er years. In anticipation of a large crowd '
/ the Columbia Street Railway has increas- 3
ed its facilities for handling the visitors j
by double tracking its line from the Trans
fer Station, or Capitol Square, to the ^
Union Station, thence a belt line circling :
the Fair Grounds, which is practically a f
double track all the way, and will afford
prompt and ample transportation. ]
In addition to the usual attractions of j
the week, the Chamber of Commerce has i
:?i.. engaged the Barkoot Carnival Amuse 1
? ?
ment Company, which, besides a band of 1
its own, has a variety of good clean
shows, which will give exhibitions at the '
several street corners, along with a number
of free attractions. As usual, the ;
theater management has a splendid card
for the week. {
Those expecting to visit the Fair, which i
begins October 24th, and desiring to se- 1
cure boarding and sleeping accommoda- <
tions, should at once communicate with *
Mr. E. B. Clark, Secretary of the Cham-. 1
ber of Commerce, who is now at work '
4
arranging to place and care for every
visitor to the Fair.
G. Frank Bamberg handles the best 1
buggies and wagons, yet the prices 1
are reasonable. 1

A young lady walked into a store in a j
Missouri town and selecting a piece of ,
cloth asked what it was worth. "Four ,
kisses per yard," said the polite clerk. '
The fair lady, abashed for a moment said 1
she would take four yards. The cloth 1
was cut off, nicely wrapped up and hand- '
ed to the purchaser, who received it with l
a smile and said: "Send the bill around to
my grandmother, she will settle for it." ,

Japan, now that peace haa been secured,
la evidently preparing for an
era of commercial development which
promisee to be unparalleled In the history
of the Island. Kingdom, says the
Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune, Already reports have
reached the bureau of manufactures to
the effect that Japan is to establish a
tine of steamers to 6outh America for
the purpose of Importing food product*
1be officials of the bureau say
that the purpose of the line is to get
cheep wheat from Argentina. Bice eating,
even in the army, la giving way to
the use of bread made from wheat or
from a mixture of wheat and rice or
other cereals. As will be seen by refer

1904*05 In trade, that country is bound
to go out to the ends of the earth to
tajty and sell. The Japanese government
recently charged its representatives
In Brazil to collect and report Information
concerning present trade relations
and possibilities between Brazil
and Japan, with a view to their further
development
Reviewing recent commercial development
in Japan, the bureau of manufactures
says:
Japan has thirty ports open to foreign
trade. At four of these In 1902
Japanese vessels registering 19,609,745
tons and foreign ships of 12,092,615
tons cleared. Osaka, sometimes called
the Liverpool of Japan, as Japan is
often called the England of the east Is
a veritable beehive of human industry.
Day and night there Is a ceaseless
whirl of wheels, a murmur of machinery,
a rattle of carts. It has a million
of people. Eight years ago $11,230,000
was appropriated to build docks, im
prove Its harbor, etc., with a view to
what will be wanted when the Panama
canal Is cat Nine million dollars
have been spent It Is thought that
from $15,000,000 to $20,000,000 more
will be expended before the city has
what its engineers deem necessary.
Everywhere one finds the people busy
not only in the work of today, but
building for tomorrow. Breakwaters,
dikes, piers, wharfs, warehouses equal
to those of Liverpool, London or Hamburg
are being built.
In 1884 the imports of Japan were
ralued at $25,000,000, of which the
United States supplied $2,000,000 and
Great Britain $11,000,000. In 1904 Japan
bought $185,000,000, of which we
furnished $29,000,000 and Great Britain
$37,000,000. The chief items were:
Mineral oils 15,500,000
Flour 4,600,000
Raw cotton 4,500,000
Machinery 2,000,000
Iron and steel goods 1,000,000
Leather 1,700,000
[Cotton manufactures 1,100,000
followed by wheat, other cereals,
canned provisions, cars and carriages,
leaf tobacco and coal, in the order
named, the last five showing figures of
less than $1,000,000.
Japan's exports in 1904 amounted to
5159,000,000. The principal buyers
were:
United States 150,428,000
[China '. 83,857,000
France 18,087,000
Hong Kong 14,024,000
Korea 10,154.000
[Jreat Britain 8,787,000
Italy 8,011,000
The purchases of the United States
amounted to one-third of Japan's total
exports. The growth of Japan's exports
in the last twenty years is shown
by the annexed table, which gives the
ralues for the year terminating each
Secade. The share of the United States
is also shown:

Tea 6,600,000
Mats and matting 2,300,000
Porcelain and earthenware 1,000,000
followed by camphor, straw braids,
wood chip braids, sulphur, tooth
brushes and rice, ranging downward
from $620,000 to about $800,000 each.
It Is one of the remarkable features
bf Japanese development that even
while the recent war was In progress
the commercial promotion of Korea by
lapan not only never waned, but It
bven Increased. The year 1904 was
>ne of the best in Korea's history. The
war helped rather than hindered trade,
the commercial highways being held
jpen. Cereals yielded large crops and
sold high, both Japan and Russia buying.
Labor was abundantly supplied
with work at good wages.. Much of
this had to do with the movement of
t'Twma Thin hrrmcht in millions of
lollars of unexpected and unusual
noney. It Is Interesting to note that
iie Koreans never bad so mucb money
to spend and that they spent It freely;
bence any Improvement In Korea or
n the east Is bound to be followed by
advantages to foreign trade. One disadvantage,
due doubtless to the war
md partly to the Increased wages, was
the increased cost of living. This advanced
50 per cent and in some cases
iully 100 per cent.
Railroads were built in many parts
it about $50,000 a mile, fully $8^000t

more than $28,617,487, of which $13,701,206
waa for importa from abroad.
The exports reached $3,466,732. The
rest are set over against movements In

ports In transit, etc. Railroad material
for more than $2,316,490 was entered.

Korea. The mining of gold goes on

bullion. Last year's gold exports were
$228?00 less than those of the year
previous?not a bad sign if it does not
indicate a decreased output of the
mines.
A large part of the banking business
Is in the hands of Japanese and Is
tending more and more toward complete
absorption by them. Everywhere
progress and prosperity are
marching hand In band. Natural hindrances
to trade are being overcome
by scientific methods worthy of the
west or by expedients worthy of the
east For example, the shallowness of
the river at- Chemulpo long hindered
the arrival of large vessels. This Is to
be obviated by running rails over
bridges to two Islands near deep water.
The work is being done by the Japanese.

Keung, a province In the north, under
Russia before the war. Seoul, the capital,
has 200,000 and Is constantly increasing.

BACK YARD HYBRID.
Cimuit Seeds Thrown From Kitchen
Produce Strange Berries.
Mrs. F. M. Roll, a Sault Ste. Marie
(Mich.) woman, purchased some common
red currants at a grocery store
and after making the fruit into palp
and straining out the seeds threw the
latter from her kitchen window into
the back yard, says a Sault Ste. Marie
dispatch. From these seeds sprang up
four or five shrubs, which were preserved
and cultivated in the garden
along with other currant bushes. Thjy
grew rapidly, and twice this year they
have borne fruit The shrub is o much
a vine as a bush, while the fruit Is unlike
anything ever seen at Sault Ste.
Marie before.
It grows on stems, like a currant
and when Immature is of a greenish
cast During the process of ripening it
becomes red, at which stage its taste Is
bitter, with a flavor much like that of
the cranberry. When fully ripened the
fruit resembled a^lack cherry and in
sire Is about midway between a large
currant and a aooseberry. Its flavor
then is delicious. It has not the odor
nor taste of the black currant nor does
it have the flavor of any of the currant
family.
Some of the berries as well as the
vines have been sent to Leo M. Gelsmar,
in charge of the upper peninsula
agricultural experimental station, who
has not yet determined exactly what
the fruit is, but will soon render an
opinion. An advance or preliminary
decision subject to change or confirmation
is that the fruit is a new hybrid
and a valuable horticultural product.
Students From India.
The arrival of many Hindoos from
India to enter as students at the Imperial
university and schools of technology
at Tokyo, Japan, has been noted
lately. It was intended to celebrate
the festival of the great Indian
national hero Sivaji at Tokyo this year
for the first time with great eclat
