If the Republican national conven tion could nominal<? the Democratic as well as the Republican candidates for President, it would nominate Bryan in the former capacity. Then it would proceed to nominate Taft, Hughes, Cannon, Root or even Cortelyou in the certain belief that anybody can defeat Bryan. Meantime the signs are plenti ful that tho Democrats will do pre cisely what the Republicans would have them do. STRANUE. ' The proceedings against the Isle of Palms "blind tiger" last week were rather funny. The "blind tiger" had clesed three days before the papers were served. Tha injunction can have no practical effect until next season. Why the injunction was not obtained before is difficult to conjecture. ENTERING COLLEGE. Boys entering college at this season should study hard from the start and one of the subjects that should have their attention is what they are going to do with themselves when they grad uate. Four years is none too long to spend In college but a youth of sixteen is old enough to know what kind of work he likes. 'This does not mean that he should decide at sixteen upon a profes sion but that he sliould begin to ponder about it. For example, a boy who is fond of mathematics is more likely to have an aptitude for civil engineering than is another who likes literature. Such a boy may choose branches of study in college that will be of much practical benefit when he begins to study tor a profession. One who ex pects to be a physician should devote himself to chemistry in college and he should give attention to botany and zoology. One who wishes to be a law yer should learn all the logic, history, English literature and constitutional law that he can. The study of English literature affords mind training quite as good as that which the study of Greek affords. A knowledge of it is a useful working looI of a lawyer, editor or preacher but Greek is worth tho time and labor re quired to learn it to extremely few persons. Boys should understand that the modern languages are coming to be of more practical value every day. We believe that a boy who masters Spanish or German will on that account be able to obtain a first rate position as com mercial traveler in South America or in Europe, Asia or Africa. The commerce of this country is rapidly widening, "drummers" will be sent to foreign countries by American houses in a few years just as they are sent to travel in the States now. College professors shovrid teach their students to study themselves and the professors should watch their tastes and characteristics. The courses of study shpuld be arranged so that the student should obtain not merely a good mental discipline but all the prac tical information possible. The old theory that a student should be taught abstract mathematics, moral and men tal philosophy, Latin and Greek and then turned out to begin over and pick up practical information afresh has played out. Life is so short that the four years in college should contri bute to stocking a boy's mind with use ful as well as ornamental information. w-have said heretofore, no boy Shoul 1 be given a diploma of any kiln', from a college until he has m?s ten! the principles of book-keeping. Every man should know how to keep books. THE SENATORIAL RACE. Mr. John C. Clinkscales, a professor in Wofford College, is said to be a candi date for the United States Senate. We know nothing about him. He is de scribed as a ready speaker, a lively and nimble stump-speaker who can hold his own with most people. He is a good man,, of pure morals. That is going to be his strong point. The people who are opposed to whiskey and gambling and "cussing around" and slandering and abusing people are dominant in South Carolina. These people, includ ing many of tho former leaders of the "Farmer's Movement," are sick of the atylo of man that Ben Tillman is. Of course all of us are willing for Tillman to stay in the Senate. It is better to have him out of the State than in the State poisoning and firing the people's minds and hearts against each other and stiring passion that cause all man ner of trouble. What a wonderfully pleasant thing it has been that the Chatauquas are willing to pay Ben Tillman handsomely to speak! Not in lrl years have we had such a comforta ble summer as this one just past with .jno Tillman bobbing up here and there to denounce some good man or other as a liar or thief or rascal. Wo hope that - "Yankee money*' will continue to tempt him to stay out of the neighbor hood of his own constituents in the summer time and that the supply of it will never give out. Then let him atay in the Senate. If he shows any symp tom of getting tired, let them raise the salary from $7,600. te $10,000., so that, peradventure, ho will change his mind and stay a while longer. So far as this Mr. Clinkscales is con cerned, he his nover dono anything or said anything that we have heard that stamps him as a man of the big ness to represent this state in tho great council of the world's greatest nation. To wear worthily the honors of a sena tor a man moat have intelligence, char acter and catholicity of view lifting him far above his fellows. One of the six or eight strongest men in South Carolina should be elected to the United States to succeed Mr. Latimer but pro bably not one of them could be elected. Only one or two men of known power as leaders of men are oven mentioned in connection with the office. Mr. Clink8cale8 may prove to be a man of power but he has not yet proved it. Probably he could rattle off glibly the catalogue of things that he has done and said but you could not point to one single notable achievement in his career. But you could point to Mr. Latimer and say that he has had a chance and that there is nothing to be shown on the balance side of this ac count except the getting of a few fed eral court houses and other small ap propriations together with tho estab lishment of rural routes. To be sure, he is said to have made a fortune for himself and we have no objection, pre suming of course that he made it legi timately. It is a creditable thing to make a fortune. Old General Pettus and old General Morgan of Alabama to whom the people of this Republic from Oregon to Florida lifted their hat in token of unconscious American respect for brains and high character didn't make money while in congress. Oppor tunities didn't come their way. They were singularly unlucky men or else they were of mighty little account; if to die poor is1;he test. Perhaps they were slow workers, for they never found time to devote to any -other interest than that?not that of their Alabama constituents?but that of their Ameri can fellow citizens. We would pick a man who would do credit to South Carolina in the Senate. He is able. He is an excellent speaker. He ia thoroughly educated. He is clean of tongue and hand. His life has been given largely to that kind of work which elevates his people especially young men and for which the return in money is little more thnn a first class carpenter earns in a city. He is mod est. One hears his name infrequently for he does not vaunt himself but there are written in the records of this state utterances of his that worked mightily for the cause of good good government and high morality. Personally, we know him scarcely at all but one does not need to shake hands with a man and slap him on the shoulder familiarly if one knows how to know. Were he to speak here in Laurens those hear ing him would not have many opportu nities to laugh for he has no qualifica tions whatever for the vaudeville stage. Many would go away disap pointed because they had not heard the voice of either a fool or a demigogue but in the United States Senate this gentleman, still in the prime of man hood, would be pointed to as an Ameri can thinker who could be trusted to mark out the lines of a people's pro gress. But we shall not name him. What would be the use?. MILLION BALES FOR SOUTH CAROLIN\ The Crop, it is Estimated, Will Yield to the Farmers $68,500,000. (from the state) With over 1,000,000 bales of cotton to be marketed in South Carolina this year, at the existing prices, the income from the baled cotton will fall little short of $60,000,000. In addition to this, if all the sec I is sold, an additional $8,500,000 will be paid for that product to the farmers of the Palmetto state. This means much more for South Carolina than most people think at first glance. It means first of all, a pros perity never before known to a hard working, striving people. It means al so the forging ahead of a state *now leading in many other branches of in dustry. It means a great stride for world-wide recognition of the south's greatest product?cotton. It may truly be said with Henry Grady: "Cotton?What, a royal plant it is! The world waits in attendance on its growth; the shower that falls whisper ing on its leaves is heard around the earth; the sun that shines on if is tem pered by the prayers of all the people; the frost that chills it and the dew that deeenda from the stars are noted, and the tresspass of a little worm upon its green leaf is more to England than the advance of the Russian army on the Asian outposts." And as a writer has recently put it: "You get up in the morning from a bed clothed in cotton; you step on a cotton rug; you let in the light by rais ing a cotton window shade; you wash with soap made partly from cotton oil; you dry your face on a cotton towel; you array yourself chiefly in cotton clothing; the "silk" in which your wife dresses is probably mercerized cotton; at the breakfast table you do not get away from King Cotton; cotton oil has probably taken the place of lard in the biscuit you eat and even these may be made of cotton seed flour; the beef and the mutton are probably fattened on cotton seed meal and hulls; your "im ported olive oil" is more likely from a Texas cotton farm than from an Italian villa; your "butter" is probably a pro duct of Southern cotton seed meal, and is certainly improved if about 20 per cent, of Cotton oil has been added in the churning; the coal that burns in the fire may have been mined by the light of a cotton oil lamp; sheep from which your woolen clothing came were prob ably fed on cotton seed meal; the tonic you take may contain an extract of cot ton root-bark; the tobacco you smoke not unlikely grew under a cotton cover, is put up in a cotton bag and may be adulterated with cotton seed hulls; your morning daily may be printed on cotton waste paper?and even in the war it tells about in some far country the contending forces were probably clothed in cotton duck, slept under cot ton tents. Cotton was an essential in the high explosives which were used, and when the last war had done its worst surgery itself calls cotton into requisition to aid tho injured and dying, until they are laid away in a cotton shroud.''

Wilk.es & Co. THE DEMAND FOK HIGH SCHOOLS. Sup*. Martin and Prof. Hand Held Con fereoce Concerning New School Act. Columbia. Sept. 12.?(Special). State Superintendent of Education Martin and Prof. W. H. Hand, who is high school inspector under the new law, were in conference today concerning the establishment of high schools under the Act of 1907. Mr. Hand now has a list of 43 high school districts which have qualified under the law. having held an election and voted a special tax. These 43 high school districts in clude 150 common school districts, as in many cases, several school districts combine to establish a high school. There are six or seven other districts which have partially complied with the high school regulations and which will doubtless be able to qualify by the time the State Board meets on the 20 inst., to consider these applications. It would be well for those districts which have held elections and are planning to se cure high schools to send in their ap plications before that date. Each of these high schools will re ceive from $300 to $800., the average being about $500. At this rate only about one half of the appropriation of $50,000 will bo utilized this year. The amount received by each high school under the act cannot exceed 50 per cent, of the amount raised by the high school districts, through a special tax or otherwise, and the matter is regula ted by a rule adopted by the State Board, as follows: An approved two year high school shall receive $000, an approved three year high school $700, and an approved four year high school $800; provided that in each case the above amounts shall not be more than GO per cent, of the annual income of such high schools; provided, also, that schools which meet tho requirements of the act and of the Board's regula tions in regard to courses of study and number of teachers, but do not have annual incomes double either of the above amounts, shall receive 50 per cent, of this annual income available for high school purposes; provided, further, that for each additional fifty high school students above the first 100 of enrollment a high school shall receive $100 of additional aid and that an approved high school having at least $.'100 worth of equipment for teaching industrial and commercial branches shall receive an additional $100 a year, provided of course that the total aid does not exceed 50 per cent, of the an nual income of any high school district. The State Board has reserved the right to apportion any unexpended balance upon the basis of enrollment to the schools which have not recoived as much as 50 per cent, of their annual in come for high school purposes. The enrollment of 50 or more high schools within one ye r in South Caro lina, as now seems pi oable, will be a very good start indeed towards secur ing a high school system to fill the gap between the common schools and the colleges. This step forward is secured at a very small cost to the State, com paritively, and the success that has fol lowed the enactment of the high school law shows how easy it is with little effort and organization to induce com munities to improve their school condi tions. While the State makes an ap propriation for these high schools the communities themselves really bear the burden and in this way the principal of self help is impressed upon the pupil. Mr. Martin today sent to the county superintendents of education the fol lowing letter in regard to this matter: To the County Superintendents. Dear Sirs?Wo are very anxious to get the high school applications into the best possible shape prior to the meeting of the State Board of Educa tion on September 20th. There are many places which have voted favor ably but have not filed their applica tions. The State Board can not take action unless it gets the information asked for in that blank. Some places voted early as single districts and sent in their applications in accordance with such elections. Nearly all of these have since voted as "an aggregation of districts" and these complied with the law, but in some cases the amended ap plication has not been filed. Please use your influence to get all of these papers correctly filled and filed at once. The State Board of Education will probably make arrangements to receive applica tions after the 20th instant, but it is highly desirable that as many reports as possible be sent in at once. Inclosed you will find some blanks which ask for information up to date. Please see that one is filled out at once for each high school district in your county. Sincerely yours, ().
