The results in the several different states that held elections last Tues day should be gratifying to the Democrats. In New’ York city the Tammany Hall (Democratic) candi date defeated the fusionists by about 70,000 plurality, whereas two years j a no j j 0D g Thanksgiving day ago the fusionists defeated Tammany anc i turkeysjhad better gobble low for by about 40.000, showing a net gain | a while.—Johnson News, for the Democrats of 110,000. New, York city is normally Democratic,! A movement is on foot to secure but once and a while the people get' tired and turn the city over to the ! Republicans for a term or two, but the D'-mocrats generally get back, j There can be little doubt but that, Tammany Hall is a corrupt political ' organization, but with all its corrupt ness ths people of New York have not been able to select a government i that is better than the Tammany government. If Tammany would purify itself it would be benefitted. As matters stand it is the greatest political organization on earth have always admired Tammany—per haps that is because we are corrupt ourselves—for it has always been loyal to its friends. Any man with ability, no matter from wha: section of the country he may hail from— North. East, South or West, and even Ireland—may go to New York and join Tammany and he will be recog nized. Tammany has recognized more Southern men than any other political organization in the entire North. As we have indicated before, better pay for rural mail carriers. It ought to succeed; they are cot paid enough.—Easley Progress. Those who try to keep from serv ing on juries ^should not complain wnen the riff-raff jury brings in a wrong verdict —People’s Acvocate. The cotton farmer is entitled to an inning now and then for he is at the mercy of the guano men, the money lender and other obligations he is compelled to assume to make a crop. Here’s to ten cents cotton, with the hope that it is here to stay.—Green- We | vilie Daily Herald. When Governor Heyward and L. J. Williams of the State Board of Con trol closed up the tourist hotel privilege in Columbia iast’.week they did what every friend of the dispen sary law will endorse. If these places are permitted to be run all night, openly and flagrantly in violation of the law, real friends of iho dispensa ry system will be driven away in disgust. We doubt the wisdom of establishing these tourist privileges at all; bat when once opened they should be conducted strictly in accor dance with the spirit of the law. the crowning virtue of Tammany is otherwise we might as well have open its loyalty. No turning its back on ; bar-rooms.—Orangeburg Patriot, its friends. No knifing the unsus- ; ■ peeling. No exhibition of ingratitude toward those who prove loyal to it. They are, perhaps, out for the coin, and they get it, sometimes in a ques tionable manner, but with all her faults, New York is the best governed large city in the world and nobody seems to be able to improve on the government given it by Tammany. Up in Maryland the Democrats got back to their own, Warfield. Demo crat, being elected by about 9000 majority. The hand of Gorman was to be seen in the campaign in that State Gnrmun is an astute politi cian, iential possibility, and the election was a great victory for him. Our young friend Beckham was re elected in Kentucky by about 32,000 majority. This places the Blue Grass State safely in the Democratic column and is a just rebuke to the assassins of Gov. Goebel. In Rhode Island the two parties divided honors—the Democrats tak ing the bigger plum, the governor ship, and the|Republicaus the lieuten ant governor. The Democrats were also victorious in Virginia, but it would have been a great surpiise for the State to have gone otherwise. Ohio went Republican by a large majority. This was at one time a doubtful state, but of late years there does not seem to be anything doubt ful about Ohio. All in all the Democrats have great cause for rejoicing, and their victory is a sign of returning reason. Of course the Republican press will raise a great hue and cry about the victory of the Democrats, and warn the people of their corruptness. That is to be expected, but if the Demo crats will go on giving the people the best government the people will re ward them at the next election. MOTE8 AND COMMENTS. The old man Grover Cleveland seems to be fast regaining his old time popularity among the masses of the democratic party. One or two western papers, where Col. Bryan is supposed to be strongest outside of the South, have taken a vote con test among their subscribers, and in both cases Cleveland is far in the lead of any other democratic candi date for the presidency. The politi cians do not want him nominated again because they know him to be a man who does his own thinking, but the voters are fast returning to the fold and are demanding in uncertain tones “four years more of Grover.’’— Darlington News. Th«- O'l-iss Iti nvrrn .I’leane tli« I'eopiB. j The Howell Glass Blowers who are giving daily exhibitions in the store I room opposite the Star Theatre havo I been doing a very satisfactory busi ness since their opening here Tues day night,and no doubt will continue to do so until their closing tomorrow , night. To say that they are highly entertaining and instructive does not do them justice, but it is no doubt, as they claim it to be, the only ex hibition of the kind traveling The company consisting of Mr. It. A . Howell and wife, Miss Ida Pauly, E j Cross and Sig Bassay, are the most interesting and scientific artists ever seen here. Their work would be hard to describe. To see these artists take that hard brittle substance called glass and melt it in their tiny fires and twist it into all imaginable shapes and without the aid of tools make such articles as deer, globes, ships, vases and, in fact, all kinds of useful and ornamental articles, would convince one that they are really skilled artists. It makes no differ ence how large or costly aa article they make they do not sell it, but give what they make to each visitor as a souvenir. The exhibition of the glass blowers is worthy of the patronage of every intelligent lady, gentleman and child in our city and is highly recommended by the editor of this paper. The price 10 cents be- ng so small, they should test the capacity of the building Saturday afternoon and night. OLD FOLKS TESTIFY. Vinol Worth $1000 to A. J- . Baker- LETTER FROM A JUROR. Tli« Age.l, and All Kojin and DaiiKlitur* of Aged People In Gaffney Should He Interested. Mr. A. J. Baker of 713 Locust street, Evansville, Ind., writes: ‘‘I believe there is no other medicine equal to Vinol for elderly people. I would not take $1000 (or the good it has done me It makes strength for the aged as no other medicine seems to do, and invigorates the whole sys tem. Vinol was first recommended to me for a bad cough, which I could no. get rid of. Vinol not only cured my cough, but it made me strong and well, and I enthusiastically indorse Vinol." The Cherokee Drug Co., when in terviewed in regard to this matter, said: “YVe have never sold in our store such a wonderful vitaiizer and strength maker for the aged as Vinol; it is nature’s remedy for the sick, the weak and the aged. “Vinol owes its virtue and great medicinal power to the fact that it contains in a highly concentrated form all the active curative proper ties of cod liver oil, without a drop of the nauseating grease winch char J i Hi K H j v/ A. J. liAKKR. aoterizds old-fashioned cod liver oil and emulsions. “Vinol acts first upon the stomach, toning it up, and enabling it to obtain from the food eaten the elements needed for rich, red blood, healthy body material and sound, steady nerves In this way it repairs worn tissues, checks the natural de cline of the aged and never fails to replace weakness with strength. “In the strongest manner we un hesitatingly indorse and guarantee Vinol to increase the appetite, cure stomach troubles, give strength and renewed vitality to the aged, build up the ’’un down, tired and debilitated, make the weak strong, cure chronic coughs, colds and build un the con valescent, or we will return to the purchaser every dollar paid for it." Cherokee Drug Co. This seemed a strong statement for reliable druggists to make, end we think every person in Gaffney ought to take the advantage of the Chero kee Drug Co.’s offer; as, of course, they have a very wide knowledge of medicines, and what taey will, or will not accomplish.—Editor.

To Hie E.tltor of th*. Kpitrtikii:>urg .lournul About the Verdict. The following has been received from one of the celebrated Lexington jurors, one of the men who think it all ri^ht to assassinate an Unarmed and unsuspecting man five m mths after cause for anger had been given and after he had been thrown off his guard: Spartanburg Journal, Spartanburg, S. C. Sir ♦ I have read your article in the Co lumbia state which was an insult to Every Juryman who sits on the Till man case, not only an insult to that body of men, hut to the Judges who was concerned i . the case, you are following in the steps of the deceased Editor,* “abusing your liberty," I wish to be polite in this matter and show more wisdom than you did in writing up the Lexington court which tried James H. Tillman. To make my letter brief, 1 refer you to the annals of History when you will fail to find a single conviction of any man for shooting an Editor. The State and counsel for same was satisfied with the Verdict, otherwise the state could have gone to the appeal courts, the Masses have accepted the verdict as fair but seemingly the press wants more blood which can be found by walking iu the footprints of N. G. Gonza'es, Mr. Gonzales was an able man, but unfortupately he made a great mistake by abusing the liberty of bis press, the courts have sustain ed the defendant by which all law- abiding citizens should be satisfied, If I was an Editor and not satisfied with the Defendant’s acquittal and had the grit to follow my pen, I would certainly invite the Defendant to encertain me beyond the Georgia lines which would be more patriotic to my fellowman than to sit in my sanctum and abuse him with my pen. In extending this invitation mentioned above 1 would say to my Bro. Editor If I should prove the un* fortuntte one in the affair not to call it Murder but suicide by the abase of liberty with the wrong man, now, Mr. Editor with the kindest of feel ings toward all Editors will you kind ly give this note room iu your paper and ask the Columbia state to ccpy same, am not hunting a contriversy, but will assure the press that any comments made same will be answer ed politely. Very Truly yours, YV. I. Risinger. Lexington, S. C— 10-21st, 1908 In justification of the statement that the jury was composed of ignor ant men the reader is invited to note that this man says the prosecution was satisfied with the verdict because no appeal was taken to the supreme court. Every citizen intelligent enough to sit on the jury knows that the state has no appeal in criminal cases, the defendant only enjoying thit privilege. Perhaps this jury found Tillman not guilty thinning that if their judgment wao an error the supreme court would correct it. This juror tells what he would do if he was an editor. He does not happen to be an editor, to the good fortune of the newspaper profession. He also confuses us by referring to the “Annals of History.” We have been unable to find a copy of that publica tion, but have no doubt that this juror knows more about history than we do, so we will take his word for it. Wo print his communication cheerfully and If it will make the public think any more of him and his 11 colleagues they are welcome to the service. y o * ./—-—y --f«»» “ nrine ’Pi-w 2 >7 7 TO.” Those who have ever felt its keen, cutting p.nins-. or wit:’i • seo ..! intense suffering of others, know that Rheumatism is torture, ;;r i that i: is right ly called “The King of Pain."

Colored ServautN Wear WljfN WheuThey go North. [Greenville News, j Negroes who have gone from Green ville to take positions house ser vants in the North have discovered that, the people of that section are not disposed to look kindly upon the kinky hair of the colored folks, and as a consequence the latter have adop ted the plan of wearing wigs. This information has been transmitted to relatives here of chose already work ing in and around New York. One old colored woman from this city, io writing to her daught a r who intends to locate in New York, told her not to fail to bring a wig along with her. “Thtse people," said she, “want their servants to'have straight black hair. They don’t like kinks." It seems that there has been more or less deception practiced on South ern negroes by members of their race who have gone to New York to work especially in the matter of wages. Ac cording to stories told among the servants in this city, it is no trouble for a house girl to get $20 to $25 per month, while a good uouk can com mand a salary of $40. As a matter of fact, it develops that $12 or $14 is about all that the best colored cooks are able to secure in the metropolis, and they cannot, even at these wages, get off with the mere performance of the strict duties of cooks or house servants, but are required to put in their spare time at general work. In view of these things, it would not be surprising to see a largejreturn movement of colored servants from New York soon. Iu the meantime, however, the bouse servant market iu Greenville is being “bulled" by many who claim to have big wages awaiting them Id Gotham. Don’t forget the old man with the fish on his back.
