? Roosevelt says ho won't uud
he'll be banged if ho will be a
/candidate. The mills of the Gods
griud slowly, but exccediug|
small. We'll see.
? ?
?
? Bryan says that he don't
.want the nomination. He don't |
have to. It looks to us just now
as if he has a walk over for it.
.With Roosevelt out of the way,
we believe that Mr. Bryan has
more than a fighting chance.
? ?
?
? Tuft had a big send off iu his
candidacy for President. In
New York the other night where
he spoke before some club or j
other. He has been globe trot
ting for the past few months,
presumedly picking up dots as
to how to conduct war. The ma
jority of us know that he is
Roosevelt*3 secretary of war,
and is the President's favorite
for the position, Rut, he is
supposed to want to vacate.
We want to predict right hero
that Taft will not even smell the
nomination, and even if nomina
ted, wont come within a mile of
election.
STATE TAXES.
We note that Governor Ansel
recommends an iucrensed tax
levy of 2 or mills. This
proposition does not appeal to
us. What is more ueeded is &
sweeping reduction of appropri
ations. For a number of years
the General Assembly has been
spending money largely iu ex
cess of the quantity of water
that is imbibed by its members
during' the sessions. At lenst
that is the way it looks to us.
In the preseut state of financial
stringency, which is effecting
every lino sf business, wo can
not stand any largo increase of
taxation. Eveu>if our several in
stitutions of learning, and other
State institutions see hard times
for a period, we can see no ex
cuse for an iucrensed levy. We
must all suffer together. Proba
bly, with a change for the bet
ter financially, which will cer
tainly como, we may look favora
upon the increased levy recom
tneuded by the Governor.
MEETING OP THE GENERAL
ASSEMBLY.
Stealing a remark from one of
our Georgia contemporaries, we
may say that young mules will
lie scarce in South Carolina dur
ing the uext two yoars. The
General Assembly of our State
is in session, and, while from
past experienca with its august
bodies, we look dubiously upon
the work that may bo accom
plished during the present ses
sion, wo hope the personel of
ftae present Assembly will not
come so nearly lo the resem
blance of formor Assemblies lo
the animal which we mentioned
In a former issue as a speaker
from your heart.
There are great issues com.
fronting the representatives of
the peoplo now met and sitting
|n General Assembly. None of
Ihetn should bo handled iu a
partisan spirit, or, with an eye
to future political advancement.
As tho session progresses, we
hope to call attention lo indi
vidual measures that may be in.
troduced. -
A FOOL LAW.
There is some kind of a fool
law that has been, or will be in
iroduced In the National house
of Representatives which makes |
liX. i
Qf any lubHorih^ Hon than
ikiM month#, ?|A 10 uipoce tte
imm penalty aprm m; subseri
ber who uMjr be la arrears for a
looker period. This proposed
law will not pass. It is the
quintessence of nonsense. The
fellow who introduced it, or, who
msy introduce it msy well be
compared to that animal who is
depictured under the head of
auother editorial in this issue.
In other words, ho out Balsms,
Bulum. A little nonsefise is
relished by the best of men but
too much of it palls upon the
appetite.

Valuable Information.
We tick now lodge with thanks
the receipt of a pamphlet on
??The Cotton Mills of South Curo
linn," compiled by Mr. August
Kohn, which is very interesting.
It indicates a maitelous growth
in this industry. Our space does
not permit of extended notice of
this pamphlet in this issue.
We also note the receipt of a
bulletin from the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture (Forest Ser
vice) which deals with "The
Lumber Cut of the United States;
1900. Both of these pamph
lets and publications are well
worth reading, and we commend
them to the consideration of our
subscribers and others who may
rend this local.
