We give it to you below, aud iu connection, waul to tptike a few more remarks. In almost every great paper, aud fn not a few small ones, we note ittie clarion Shauxhie crow of re turning prosperity, presumebly as a result of the election of 'Judge Taft. This is the veriest /twaddle. Had Bryan been elected the results would have been the ,#ii me. The prosperity ot this ^country docs not depend upon the political success or failure a single individual. It de pends entirely upon tho law of supply aud demand, seasoned naturally by the wishes of the great money lords of the country, ^bat this class of people en 4BOtai>uMKed the defeat of Mr. Bryan, no sensible man will dis fiute. That Mr. Bryan's defeat |s a public calamity, we feel free jto say that no sensible man will dispute. That a revolution is imminent within the next decade ft* a result of such elections as was the last, no sensible man will dispute. When money gains Control of church, state and nation, down goes the influence' 4>f the oh arch for good in lite up " J i fling of tho people, down goes t he autonomy of state and ua ' iiou, and then will bo ushered in the greatest and bloodiest revo Jution that the world has ever jseen. The people, tho plain people have about como to the partiug of the ways, and unless speedy relief is given them, 4hey will rise in their might, ^nd 110 mail oan foresee the end. The following is the editorial referred to; VVe waut lo condole with the country generally on the result c f the election. So far as we can see, there is nothing but (lis jister before the working man of the country. Tho Republican }>arty, j*e entrenched iu power 4Vill unquestionably use, or, father misuse that power in the 4>enetit of the trusts and other corponile interests, to the de triment of the people at large. There may be a lime coining when money will lose its power to ^influence a free American vote, but we are beginning to |ose hope of it. Just to think, there was Taft, representing nothing under God Almighty's ?iiti but Hoosovelt's policies, de feating s knightlv gentleman, a pure patriot, and the most finished statesman that the 'Country has produced in a jtfeuerution. JftfK SITUATION. THE SITUATION, ?What is il? Not necessarily politically, for that lias been practically set. ?led for the next four years, but ?he actual situation that exists at present, ami that which future events will inevitable bring forth a result of the conllict between /japital and labor. Wu have on |*he one hand, Capital, entrench ed in the power of wealth and (&>olilia;>l power arrayed against j,ho (oiljn^ masses of the conn, f ry, the men and women who Jiuve i^ust largely contributed ^o t||.o success of the individual ;md the nation. We see til /nostallof out praciicajly gn. limited resources in the way (ft |ui ties, farms and factories ^fivou 0V?r jnio the hands of the /ew. Wis see a statu of unrest evident throughout the confines P* every li?horiutf district, be it jn mine, fj^rin or factory, either ' Realise shut downs on one Jiaud or long lay.-olT*, o'r. scant prices for faj'n) uud truck pro ducts. In a oo editorial we give you # ulyn^ the Hues of this, l#ut the kubj?vt in so great, the ra?|Kiniibility rMtinf fiU'littM'ily upou the sliduldera of who are responsible for lb? p res out situation that we cfcnnot re frain from souuding uuolher note of warning*. Wo toll these people who have more money than they cat) |x>$. sibly use, even if they indulge in the wildest profiiganey that if they do not turn their surplus into the legitimate avenues of manufactures aud Iciudred pur suits, their tenure ou that sur plus wili be a more or less short oue. In writing this,- we do not want to be eou founded with a socialist, or, with haviug any yellow proclivities. We merely want to sound a note of waruiug that the great body of the people are becoming heartily tired of beiug misruled by their mouied masters and unless speedy aud steady relief is afforded them, ihey will rise in their might, ami sweep into obliviun those whom they rightfully, or wrongly con sider their tyrants. NO LICENSE PAID, LIQUOR RETURNED Purchases by Ricliland Beard From John Mc Smyrl Illegal. RQL1H6 BY THE ATTORHEY GENERAL ? Under a ruling bv Attorney General Lyon, given ut the re quest of Dispensary Andilor West, 0.") barrels of corn whiskey purchased by Hie Richland dis. peusary board will have lo be returned lo John McSmyrl of Camden and proceedings against him for selling distillery pro ducts without a license urc con templated. At, the last, meeting of the Richland dispensary board an offer was made from Mr. Mc Smyrl lo sell the entire lot of whiskey on hand, it being under stood that he hail closed the dis tillery. The offer was accepted, as it is understood that the whiskey is high grade. During the past weuU 43 barrels of the stuff has been received and pre parations has just, been made to diMnp it into the vats for bot tling purposes when Chairman Cain was informed that the whiskey could not be touched, pending further proceedings. The rest of the shipment w as ex pected this weelc. The opinion from the attorney general is t Iks result of investi gations made by Dispensary Au ditor West, who heard that Mc Smyrl had not taken out a li cense for the present year. The following was part of the opinion : "Section SO of the dispensary law provides for license for cer tain persons to continue to maim fact lire and sell li/juor. This may be done by the payment of a yearly license t herein specilicd. It is my opinion that Mr. Mo Smyrl having failed to pay the license fee provided by the sec tion above referred to for the present year, cauiitt legally sell any liquors in this State, 110 matter when or under what^'ir oumsiauces the same were manu factured and tint his having done so is a violation of the law."1 Tlio sect ion provides a gradu ated license, the smallest sum paid for bottlers and distillers being $500. The Uichlaud board knew absolutely nothing about the license paid or unpaid by Mr. McSmyrl, and accepted the bid in good faith. It. may mean a shortage in corn whiskey for the coming qua.'tur, however.? The Stale. Good Hoa:ls Cougros No one awaits the coming of good roads with more profound appreciation than the southern planter, for to him it means not only easy travel, safety and speed but dollars ? thousands of them. For that reason the coin ing of the "(lootl KoadsOon.l gress" to be held in Atlanta dur ing the first week in December means much throughout the south. By reason of the act of the Gteneral Assembly of Georgia in breaking up the iniquitous con vit lease system and putting them on the highways to make joads, it )\-oul(J seetji tl^t, Ooioryi* is to lead her sister states in tbe procession of good und new roads fur the ne* south. ' They will go to work In April. 1000, for tbe present lease ex* pires ou March 31, 1009, suO from then oil good road build* I mxr, in Goorgin, will be cou- ( llllUOUS. { ' At this congress the advice of ptlier slates, us well us their ex* j perience, .is to be given, and' when thut congress is adjourned | it is believed a solutiou of the problem will be in sigh. | With railroads widely seperat ed throughout the south the piauler oftentimes has to haul his collou, cotton sued and other crops for twenty miles to tu a competitive market. Usually his trail marked by a string of collou seed caused by his wagoli bumping monotonous ly over the rough country roads. His slock is run down by Itio hard haul; his load is made as liirht as possible on account of the difficulties, und as a result his patience is exhausted and his trip hardly pays for itself All o:i account of the roads. But with well kept roads rolling boulevards stretching from county seat to county seat, as trunk lines, with well paved, well graded roads leading oil in to the byways and touching at every planter's front gate, cou-j ditions will be changed and a| new joy added to the life of the prospcrious southern planter the happiest man m the world. This congress promises to do more for I he south than any con gress held in the past twenty live years. Slaughter of Birds. Within live years the women j oC America must call in vain for! birds and plumage with which to' trim their hats, says Winston Salem Journal. Within the last three years whole regions of Florida everglades have been ! robbed ot every vestage of bird life. If wctneu persist in udonii ing themselves with these in nocent creatures, thecountry will soon lie barren of tropical birds. The Audubon Society bus taken up tlid matter and an effort will be made to prevent the whole sale slaughter. ??The aesthetic reasons for cheeking ibis universal butchery of all birds who bear the faint charm of beauty are secondary," said William Dutcher, president of the National Association nf Audubon Societies at Ms head quarters, 141 Broadway, today, ?The primary reasons are strictly economic. Those birds, entirely aside from their wonderful do lights as object s of beauty, Jorm the basts of our nation's health as well as prosperity. What, the street, cleaning department is to this metropolis the sea birds are Jo the whole country. As their activities as scavengers are checked by unnatural destruc tion, pestilence and death will surelv follow. The birds stand at the foundation of all our na tural resources and our very ex istence as well. To lake up this, hard I i k h t against the moneyed j interests that are killing our' count ry s birds we need I lie in- i dividual support? moral andli-j njuicial? of every man. woman! and child in the country. It js, reported that' we have Ween en- i do wed wit h a mi llion dollars; but ? Shis is untrue, as we depend ) solely upon the interest oT less' ( ha n a third ol this sum, and the1 annual live dollar bills of sustaining members. Many mil lions are behind our opponents, the business bird bu tellers. *' ? EXCLUSION KATES. To Charleston S. (V, an:l Ki'ttirn via Southern Kail way.
