A cutting of freight rates will
sound something like an uplift to
the farmers.
The weather Bureau claims to be
85 per cent correct?but then it
keep its own score.
Some counterfeit $100 bills are
reported to be in circulation. So,
you see, the predatory rich have
their troubles, also.
Several towns which have been
looking for Carnegie libraries will
have to give up their aspirations if
the income tax becomes effective.

OUR MAYOR
In the news columns of this issue
we publish a letter from a gentleman
who signs himself "Public
Spirit."
We are thoroughly in accord
with his ideas for the reason that
he advances are facts and not fiction,
for while they are very complimentary
the writer has adhered
strictly to the truth, and furthermore
if we are not very much mistaken
he has cast no reflection whatsoever
on Batesburg's past executives. He
is a man that does not beiieve in the
pulling down of some, for the building
up of others. Our present mayor,
W. C. Bates, has it is true done
more for Batesburg and its people
siace he has held office than has 1
been done in all the past administra- J
tions within the past ten years.'
Our roads are better, our streets are
better, our laws are kept, our whole
town has felt his influence for betterment
and we, asapeople making up
what is rapidly growing to be a centre
of business and industry should
uphold a man who has governed
our affairs in such a praiseworthy
manner. If it were not for the rev'val
of the old convention days,
we would suggest that he be not
f>nly elected but elected by acclamation.
As this cannot be done
why not each and every one of us
pull together and elect him back into
the office, which he has so faithfully
and conscientiously filled.
MenORIAL DAY,
May 11, 1909 marks a day to be
recalled with delight by all who
were piesent. No holiday in our
political calendar possesses t h e Ir
charm of Memorial Day. Its spirit
and purpose appeal with mighty
emphasis to the deepest and tenderest
feelings of the human heart.
Men. women and children turn
with glad, sad hearts away from everything
else and for the while give
themselves to exercises in commemi
oration of the character and courage
' the daring and deeds of those who,
1 nearly fifty years ago, were proved
be known as Confederate soldiers.
I And, at the same t'me the ofttold
i story is told again of the principles
! which made the Southern soldier
a'l he was and did. It is a most
significant fact that while the victtors,
north and south of Mason < nd
: Dixon's line are doing honor to the
men who wore the blue, the vanquished
at the same time and on
the same soil are telling of the patriotic
spirit and the heroic deeds
of those who wore the gray. Possibly
nowhere in all the world can
this be done except in the United
S'ates. This fact speaks volumes.
It is an object lesson to all the
world, as it does, the priceless lesson
of political freedom and the generous
spirit of our country. Tobel
known as a Roman Citizen was at
one time, regarded as a most honorable
distinction. But citizenship
in Rome was slavery as compared
with the liberty of the humblest
dweller within our shores. Every I
man of us ought to feel his bosom
swell with grateful pride in the fact
that he is an American.
Memorial Day, this year, was a
success to a degree possibly never
; attained in any previous year in the
history of Batesburg. The day was
perfect, the attendance was large
and practically everybody entered
heartily into the spirit of the occasion.
Batesburg has set a most
j worthy example to her sisier towns
n that all places of business were
closed from 11a. m. iu o p. in. nn
' unusually good program had been
- ?':s r4 childre oi" ; ;r
^?j?n.?.vaciaie veterans all had a place
; in the beautiful pictoric. Patriotic
and devotional songs were sung by
teachers and children, the band furnished
soulstirring music and one
feature of the exercises, a new one,
deserving of especial mention, was
an original poem written by Rev.
Joab Edwards and read by him in
connection with the decoration of
the graves. "Loved and Remembered"
was its title. The address of
i welcome to the veterans and their
I friends was by Mayor, W. C. Bates.
It was short, but sweet. The greetings
of the Daughters of the Confederacy
were presented in a model
I speech, in a model way, by Mrs. F.
E. Cullum. The address by Mr. W.
i M. Carter for the Sons of Veterans
I in matter and spirit did honor to
him and the occasion.
By way of preeminence Hon.
Mendel L. Smith of Camden was
regarded as "the orator of the day."
His fame as an orator had preceded
him. Our people naturally expected
something uncommonly good.
They were by no means disappointed.
Mr Smith's address was large- t
ly historical and for that reason was \
not of a popular order yet the en- f
thusiastic reception accorded him is *
an index to the charm and power of r
a
his oratory. It may seem a triflle f
ungracious to criticise, but it is un- c
fortunate that addresses like this, ^
intended to instruct the young and c
to inspire in all a spirit of generous a
forbearance, should be marred by ^
the suggestion that northern people ^
were actuated by naught but un- a
worthy motives in their opposition d
to r.he south. We dislike for the 1
people of the north to misrepresent p
us. Let us give to them the gen- p
erous treatment we desire and demand
from them.
Nothing said or done on Mem- ri
orial Day met with more generous w

KING'S POCKETS. 'f?|
Someone Has Ascertained Precisely
What He Carries in Them.
Like every man who carries the look
of his clothes King Edward carries
very little in his pockets besides a
handkerchief. his waistcoat, pocket
he carries a gold pencil ease, a
cigar cutter, a little pass key, a gold
watch, carefully regulated by Greenwich
time, and a half a dozen sovereigns.
In his coat pocket no carries
a tin> notebook and in tlio winter he
puts his gloves in the pocaet of his
topcoat. This king never carries a
cigar-case, except a gold case which
holds one cigar, but ho always has a
small box of lozenges. Unlike his
nephew, the Kaiser, he never carries
i fountain pen in his pocket.
Hearing Both Sides.
Last summer there died at Washington
a lawyer who for many years
had shocked a large numoer of his
friends by his rather liberal views
touching religion.
A friend 01 the deceased, who cut
short a Canadian trip to hurry back
to Washington for the purpose of attending
the last rites of his colleague,
entered the late lawyer's home some
minutes after tho beginning of the
service.
"What part of the service is this?"
he inquired in a whisper of another
legal friend standing in the crowded
nail way.
"I've just come myself,'' said the
other, "but I believe they've opened
for the defense."?Harper's Weekly.
Oldest Congregational Pastor.
The oldest Congregational pastor in
England is the Rev. Thomas Ixml,
of Horncastle, Lincolnshire. Although
he completed his ninety-ninth
year on April 22 last. Mr- Lord still
trices active part in religious work.
Recently he preached his five thousandth
sermon on the seventy-third
anniversary of his ordination. Owing
to failing eyesight the veteran
pastor has to trust entirely to hi3
memory, which is so clear that he can
recite entire chapters of scripture.
Farthest Point North.
Point Barrow. Alasku. is Uncle
Sam's farthest point north. A letter
from Detroit to Point Barrow goes
first by train to Seattle, 2,r>00 miles;
then by ocean steamer to Valdez, 1.G00
miles farther north and west; then
dog sleds, over Ice and snow 2,700
miles more to the north and west.
The letter travels in one direction
over G.8U0 miles?all the distance in

Annual Newspapers.
Journalists ought to have fairly
easy times in the polar circle, where
the papers are only issued once per
annum. There are three or four of
these. One of them is u.e Eskimo
Bulletin, edited near Cape Prince of
Wales, on Behring Straits. The English
missionaries there have established
a school in a village inhabited
by Eskimos, and as only one steamer

The word "petit" In connection
with French newspapers always
strikes the foreigner. Its origin is, in
itself, significant. The evening edition
was called "Petit" and originally
was petit, but the French newspaper

I shall traverse, under a blinding

"Against thai dazzling glare the j
backs of tlielr necks will be swathed
in white linen, and even their ears
will be protected. Nothing though,
will keep the sun out of their faces.
"Wondering about this, 1 said one
day to the cald of an Algerian village:
" 'Why don't you Arabs wear a cap
of some sort? You live In the world's
worst sun glare, but neither fez nor
turban under any circumstances has a
peak.'
"The Koran,' the raid answered,
'forbids all true believers to shade
tneir eyes. Obeying tho Koran impliclty
we dwellers in the desert avoid
like poison brims to our headgear.
In consequence there is more blindness
among us than among any other
