Willard seemed to be Jess right.
What Moran needed was a meat-axe.
Some of our exchanges are referring
to him as General Perishing!
We have a growing suspicion that
General Villa will not die of old age.
That Omaha politician who claims;
that Mr. Bryan is not a Democratshould

The next stop will be All Fool's day.
The kiddies will remind you of it at the
proper time.
'Twould be a sad day for Villa if our
Terrible Teddy lived at El Paso instead
of at Oyster Bay.
Amundsen is going to make another
hunt for the North Pole. What's the
use? Didn't Dock Cook find it first?
We thought it was getting about time
for a Greenville policeman to shoot!

one shot a negro man.
When legislatorsistep in and say what
sort of advertising matter the newspa
pers shall carry, it's about time for the
newspapers to step o(ut or abolish the
legislators.
Some writer says: "G1 to a friend
for advice, to a stranger for charity,
and to a relative for nothing." And
ten to one you will be accommodated at
all three places.
The large number of disastrous fires
recently in large cities and small
towns calls to mind more forcibly the
fact that Pickens needs some protec
tion against fire.
We received a new exchange last
week, The Jeffersonian-not.Tom Wat
son'F, but Tom F. McNalley's, who gets
out a bright little weekly paper at Jef
ferson, Chesterfield county.
."What shall it profit Roosevelt if he
wins the nomiation and then loses the
nomimation?" asks the Anderson Mail.
But think what a "bully" time Teddy
will have blackguarding the other can
(ldiates!
Mr. Bryan, as delegate-at-large from
Nebraska to the Democratic national,
convention, says heo is for Woodrow
Wilson for the nomination, and that
there will be no other name before the
convention. So it's to be a tame affair,
after' all.
We do not like to be inquisitive at all,
but we would like to know what luck

ret From Voter
What has come over this deinocrati
state, 6 ours? We thought that th
government belonged to the people, waj
run by the people in the interest of al
the people. We thought that ever.
citizen had a perfect right to run foi
any office in the gift of the people if he
desires to do so, provided he had the
wherewith all to defray his part of the
expenses of the campaign? And yet
when a gentleman by the name of R,A.
Cooper of Laurens County at the earnest
solicitation of hundreds of good citizens
and voters of the State announced that
he will be in the race for Gov. the
news papers raise a howl and say he
ought not to run against. Gov. Manning,
that it had been our custom to give a
man a second term. If you strictly ad
here to that custom, is it democracy?
Why not go to work and make this of
fice of Gov 4 years instead of 2
Mr. Cooper has a perfect right to run
for the office he is a man of lawful age
and under the tongue of good report,
and there are thousands of voters in the
state who believe that he can, and will
be elected and when he is Gov. will be
as good a Chief Magistrate as the Old
Palmetto state or any other state ever
had. If Gov. Manning can make
enough voters believe that he ought to
have a second term we are democrats
and are willing to abide the decision of
the people at the ballot, box, but we
insist that every citizen who desire to
run for office has the right to do so.
But in the case of Mr. Cooper he would
not' have made this race at this time,
but for the urgency of his friends all
over the state, he feels like it is in an
swer to the call of duty, and to dis
charge ones duty is an honor higher
than to fill any office. VOTER.
Breezy Pumpkintown Notes
Rev. Mr. Smith preached at Oolenoy
Sunday afternoon, March 19.
As is usually the case with farmers,

Automobiles are a nuisance to pedes

o'e had nearly broken our neck getting
aut of the wvay, the bally thing turned
aff and sped away in a different direc
tion from the one in which we were
going. The rascall
Kisses are ripe in Oolenoy; or at least
those girls we saw kiss each other there
didn't make wry faces at 'em.

they will make their future home ani
where Mr. Harris will enter the mer
cantile business. Plainville is fiftee:
miles from Rome, Ga. Mr. Harrig
came to Pickens from Rutherford cotin

most prominent citizens of this county.
He was in the mercantile business here
for eight years, has served as magis
trate, alderman and mayor of Pickens,

the Pickens Methodist church for the
past several years and is treasurer of
that church. He is also a prominent

these organizations. For the past sev

real estate business. He has sold out
some of his business interests in Pick

real estate holdings. Mr. Harris and
his son have many friends in this coun

The county board of equalization met
in the auditor's office Saturday and
passed on the work of the township
boards of assessors. No change was
made in the assessments of- property
exdept in the case of the banks whose
assessment was reduced from 50 per
cent on capital, undivided profits - and
surplus to 33 1-3 per cent on the same.
If this assessment stands, the cpunty
tax on the banks will be the smallest it
has been in many years. Year before
last the tax was 60 per cent of the cap
ital stock of banks, and the surplus
was not taxed.
