The only cold weather that Charleston
has had during the winter lasted
just long enough to help the
plumber, without greatly helping
the coal man.?News & Courier.
"The wisest part" of Mr. Taft's
lj
inaugural address, in the opinion of
the Indianapolis News, "is that dealing
with the race question. Mr.
Taft does not propose to turn his
back on "the negroes, but neither s
does he prefer to intensify and keep
alive race prejudice by appointing
negroes to office in the South. All '1
that he says in this connection is (
well said. We do not see how either
the white or black people of the
South.can quarrel with the Pres- ?
ident on this subject." There will
be no "quarrel" with him by the
white people of the South, we feel .
sure, if he shall only stick to his
good resolutions, and we have no
doubt in the world that he will.
There is to be nothing spectacular
in Mr. Taft's administration, as we
understand, but it is to be wholly
constructive ''

the use of commercial fertilizers i
this year. The price cutting and
general uneasiness of the manufacturers
indicate a lack of demand
proportionate with their supply. Rural
Free Delivery, Farmer's Unions,
Good Roads and other educational
agencies are bringing the farmers
more closely in touch with the business
world and he is just now beginning
to realize what a strategic 1
and important position he occupies
in the world of trade. Heretofore
but few farmers were familiar with fT
the original cost of the various fertilizing
materials but now they are
more enlightened.
It pays to keep on the good side
of the man whose brain and muscle
are the financial prop of our
country.
The policy ot President Tatt n
refusing to appoint negroes to federal
offices removes one of the strong4
est obstacles to the development of

true that there is enough of genuine
democracy in the country to control
the situation, but the negro is
the basis of prejudice against Republicanism
in a large number of
cases and the policy of the pres- '
ident is bound to have its effect upon
such men. President Taft will
have to do something terrible to
teeep Charleston from giving him a
large vote in the next campaign.
We think that the President is doing
right, but there are much greater
things that he could do for hiscoun<
try?things with the effect of lightning
with not so much thunder.

THE STRANGER GIRL. [
, , i A Is
A young girl not over seventeen i ^
years old entered a Russian village
and inquired for conveyance t?? the utu'
nearest railway station. There was in
her face none of thnt freo-froin-care will
look natural to girls of her age. but RE
a serious, resolute expression as Rei
though she were intent upon some tha
great purpose. She had no baggage nio
except a leather traveling bag. which
was uotieeable, for she was tu>? <??
f ' ': it i -1. r vr < ' 1
.-v.;..,, iiic vmuge, and the groom !!l
was about to take his bride to his ,
!arin some versts away. .In.-: as i :~'1
they were about to start a man ?? - t
tered the sledge without an invita- 1 ''
tlon. The Broom objected, whet cup- ,,a
on the man showed the badge of a | s'(
government ofllcial. which siieneed .
any further refusal. <a
It was in the springtime, hut the s!'
snow had not yet melted. The air vvi
was cold and penetrating, and 'he
travelers were all wrapped in fur <>|,?
robes. Hut they were a gay party,
cracking their jokes and chatting t ho
newly married couple. Only two per- 1 r
sons sat mute the government "Hitrial
and the stranger girl - though Kf>
their rigid demeanor had no effect in '
dampening the spirits of the others. k'i'
Hut presently, on coming to a wild ""
tract that they were obliged to cross, ?'they
suddenly ceased their merriment.
From the forest came a sound tnuf- ^a
fled by distance, but none the less >:1'
terrible?a sound known only too
well to the occupants of the sledge
as the distant baying of wolves. The
horses threw up their beads in Might, a!
then sot off at a gallop. The groom
reached down under the seat and. not
finding what he looked for turned
pale. 1,1
"Tiie arms!" he exclaimed. "Where ',f
are they?" ar
He looki d at his young men friends *'v
successively. None had put in the
weapons. Each had expected some
one else to do so. They hud been a
left behind. to
Presently from the right and rear NV'
a dark mass came through the trees
like Mark water pouring in before a
rising tide. There is joined on the
road and became a pack of wolves.
There was but one weapon in the so
party, and that belonged to the goveminent
official. It was a revolver a1
with six shots in its chambers, its Pa
possession could not be considered a 1,0
chance?It was hardly even a hope. lo
Its owner drew it, cocked it and :,n
when the wolves came within range "*
Bred at thd leader and rolled him an
over A few of the pack pounced tip- ,rr
on the dead wolf, while the rest cnine i
t>n. The official fired the si\ shots ,-st ^
Intervals, with each shot killing a
wolf, and when he had done this he
had finished his defense. The party
were at the mercy of the wolves. (jjv
Though the horses were tearing along
at. frantic speed, the wolves were ?']i
drawing nearer every moment When loo
they had come to a distance of about \
fifty feet the stranger girl rose from
tier seat, opened her satchel, took out j 01'
? steel hall the size of an orange and, (
poising it in her tight hand, said:

The cotton plant cannot feed on barren land. Study
