Hurrah for Heywardl
The Darlington News is a fairly safe
newspaper to follow in choosing men to
vote for. Its judgment of public men
is right in nine out of ten cases in
South Carolina politics. It is always
outspoken. It has a way of saying
things bluntly sometimes but its say
ings arc mostly true. Because of the
value that we place upon the News and
because we have more confidence in its
honesty and candor than we have in
some people's, we reproduce the follow
ing from its columns:
"Of all those who have been spoken
of for Governor thus far the Hon. Rich
ard I. Manning, in the opinion of The
News, is best equipped for the position.
In addition to being well versed in the
affairs of state Mr. Manning is a man
of sound business judgment, a quality
much to be desired in these days when
South Carolina is making such strides
in the industrial world. Of course the
election is too far off to commit himself,
but The News thinks that Mr. Manning
is the right man for the place."
Now we also believe in the worth of
the Hon. Dick Manning. We think
that there are few men in public life in
this State who are as good as he, but
we cannot declare for Manning for
Governor just now. For two reasons.
We are suspicious of Mr. Manning's
dispensary views. We are willing to
swallow Heywardi dispensary and all,
but if a change is to be made, we pre
fer no Dispensary. Capt. Heyward has
been a sugar-coat to the dispensary
pill.
Our second reason is that we favor
compelling 1). C. Heyward to run again
next year. He can be made to run.
We hope the people will discourage all
others from running. Let us" have
peace.
The Newberry Herald and News says
that a third term would be a bad pre
cedent, that Heyward is a good man
but "there are others:" Newberry has
three men suggested: H. H. Evans, C.
L. Blcase and A. C. Jones. We take it
for granted that the Herald and News
will support a Newberry man?one of
the three. Six years, or three terms as
governor, is equal to one ;tcrm as Uni
ted States Senator. A sheriff elected
twice serves longer than a governor.
We should like to know who The
Herald and News favors. What has it
to conceal? If it has a man it prefers
to Heyward, why not name him him?
If it has none it prefers to Heyward,
why not join The Advertiser in urging
the reelection of the incumbent?
?*?
The Commonwealth of Insurance.
Mr. Samuel E. Moffctt, writing for
Collier's of April 22 on ''The Empire
of Insurance Billions," says:
The nearest approach to that Co-op
erative Commonwealth of which the
Socialists dream has been made theo
retically in the business of life insur
ance. Here are the most gigantic com
binations of capital in the world, with
the widest diffusion of ownership. It is
safe to say that a clear majority of
the sixteen million families in the Uni
ted States are joint owners of the in
surance capital of the country, const
ituting the most colossal co-operative
organization ever built up in the world's
history.
Any wild notions about danger to the
policy-holders may be dismissed at
once. These huge American insurance
companies are now the strongest finan
cial powers on earth ?very much
stronger and more solid than the Bank
of England. Their failure would be in
conceivable. Now that the business
has passed the perils of infancy, life
insurance companies in America do not
fail. If Lawson's alarm bell and the
Hyde-Alexander mud batteries should
put an instant stop to the issuance of
new policies, and if the present policy
holders should drop out, the business
would go on without a jar, automati
cally providing for the remainder. The
system is impregnable.
Nor is the speculative element in in
surance investment altogether a bad
thing for the policy-holders. If the
companies were restricted, as the Mu
tual was by its original charter, to
mortgages on real estate in New York,
United States bonds, and New York
State and city bonds, their returns
would be so small that the policy-hold
ers would have to pay considerably
higher premiums for the same amount
of insurance, and the field of possible
investment would soon be exhausted.?
The restrictions of the savings bank
would have a similar effect. Under the
present arrangements there is a certain
amount of gambling, but it is gambling
with loaded dice. The insurance com
panies are not i t the mercy of the
market?they control it.
?
Plenty of Light.
For the past six months the city has
been "shy" on light. It is with great
satisfaction that we now behold every
thing in readiness to lift us out of the
dark.
Those who want their homes and
business houses wired can now get it
done by applying to Clerk Balle.
Every body in town should use elec
tricity; if you keep all the lights burn
ing it costs a lot of money, but if you
burn only what you need it is not ex
pensive- .; besides it saves matches to
say nothing of the trouble of cleaning
and fixing lamps. Furthermore you
are buying electricity from your own
city and you have to buy your oil from
Mr. Rockefeller and he has too much
money now.

LAUQH AND QROW FAT.
A CHEERFUL GIVER.
Bobby's father had given him a ten
cent piece and a quarter of a dollar,
telling him that he might put one or
the other on the contribution-plate.
"Which did you give, Bobby?" his
father asked, when the boy came home
from church.
"Well, father, I thought at first I
ought to put in the quarter," said
Bobby, "but then just in time I re
membered, 'The Ix>rd loveth a cheerful

ten-cent piece a groat more cheerfully,

ABOUT RHEUMATISM.
There are few diseases that inflict
more torture than rheumatism and there
is probably-no disease for which such a
varied and useless lot of remedies have
been suggested. To say that it can be
cured, is, therefore, a bold statement
to make, but Chamberlain's Pain Balm,
which enjoys an extensive sale, has
met with great success in the treat
ment of this disease. One application
of Pain Balm will relieve the pain, and
hundreds of sufferers have testified to
permanent cures by its use. Why suf
fer when Pain Palm affords such quick
relief and costs but a trifle. For sale by

What The Southern Cotton Association
Stands For?
(BY HARVIE JORDAN.)
The Southern Cotton Association
stands for the South's supremacy agri
culturally, commercially and finan
cially. The present effort of tho Asso
ciation, looking to the reduction of cot
ton acreage and use of commercial fer
tilizer, is merely an incident in the
great work which it was organized to per
form. The principal object of the' As
sociation is to unite in one grand busi
ness organization the Southern farm
ers, merchants, bankers, cotton manu
facturers and all other allied lines of busi
ness to develop the vast resources of the
South to maintain the price of our great
staple crop cotton, at a fair and pro
fitable figure to the producers and cot
ton milling interest of the country. To
develop Southern ports, extend the
building of cotton mills and bring about
closer trade relations between this
country and foreign nations, and more
especially with the Central and South
American Republics to seek wider
markets for the sale of our c.tton and
cotton goods, to the end, that consump
tion may be made to keep pace with the
extended cotton production. To organize
and perfect a cotton company for the
purpose of protecting tho sale of our
cotton and to safe-guard it from wide
filuctuations that aro brought about by
speculative influences. To encourage
the building and maintaining of a first
class system of bonded warehouses, in
which cotton can be stored at a mini
mum cost, or encourage the proper
storing of cotton on the farm so that
the crop may be marketed in such
quantities as will meet the legitimate
demand for consumption. To encourage
the better handling of the cotton crop
so that it may go to market in the best
possible condition and thereby bring to
each grower its maximum value. To
gather correct and accurate statistics,
bearing upon the production, manu
facture and sale of cotton so that the
producer will be as well informed upon
every phase of the great cotton indus
try of the world as those who handle
the crop after it passe from tho hands
of the grower.
NON ANTAGONISTIC.
The Association does not propose, and
will not antagonize any legitimate line
business or industry carried on in the
South, but on the contrary, its best en
ergies will be directed along the lines
of a higher developement of agricul
ture, more extended buiiding of facto- j
ries, wider developement of our com
merce and increasing our financial j
strength. These are the fundamental i
underlying principles of the Southern
Cotton Association, and in that work,
it earnestly seeks the active co-opera
tion of the entire agricultural, commer
cial strength of the South.
ORGANIZATION NECESSARY.
Organization, of course, is one of the
essential features of the Association
because without unity there can be no
Strength. The organization of the As
sociation throughout the various cotton
producing States and Territories, is
patented after the political form of the
United States government. The Asso
ciation, in its head formation, is made
up of representatives from the 13
States and Territories producing cot
ton; each state division is composed of
a representative delegate from each
county or parish; each parish or county
organization is composed of three re
presentatives from each civil sub-divis
ion and each civil sub-division is made
up of the units of the people. Thus we
have a centralized oaganization, begin
ning from among the people at the bot
tom and working through the counties,
or parishes, up through the state di
visions and forming the parent head?
The Southern Cotton Association. The
strength of tho Association is there- j
fore, obtained directly from the people, i
and its success must depend upon the j
people, whose interest it seeks to safe
guard and protect. It is a movement
in which the sympathy, support and ac
tive co-operation of every man of busi
ness and profession in the South should
be cordially enlisted.
EXISTING CONDITIONS.
For the past fifty years, the South
has directed its energies principally in
the production of cotton; our people i
have taken but little interest in (levis- j
ing the proper ways and means for
marketing the staple, or in-obtaining
proper and correct knowledge of the
use to which our cotton has been put
and its consumption among tho nations
of the world. We have, therefore,
known but little of its value beyond the
price offered us by the people who have
come into our markets to purchase it.
