The financial situation is a little bet ter this week than last week. The North will not bo satisfied unless the South turns loose its cotton at ten cents and under, and the good signs are in creasing that the Southern farmers arc holding beautifully. Within a few months the price of cotton should go up. If we had it we would hold it. THE ELECTIONS. The elections last week were a dog fall. Roosevelt's man, Burton, was beaten for mayor of Cleveland. Tam many was successful in New York city. Maryland was carried by the Democrats. Kentucky went over to the Republicans in spite of the stump-speaking through the state of William Jennings Bryan. Bryan got less consolation out of the voting than anybody. Of course the Democrats were beaten in Bryan's own state, Nebraska,?they always are. New Jersey almost went to the Demo crats but didn't. Massachusets was carried by the Republicans, the Demo crats having thrown away their chances by a split. The most significant features of the elections were the blow dealt to Roose velt by the defeat of Burton in Cleve land and the blow landed on Bryan by the defeat of the Democrats in Ken tucky. The country is getting a little weary of these two brethren. SHOULD ANSEL RUN? Perhaps before this article is pub lished the doubt as to whether Gover nor Martin Ansel will be a candidate for the United States Senate will be settled, and we hope that it will be. Gov. Ansel has an inalienable right to run for the Senate, if that be his wish, and it will have to be considered in his favor that he has, so far, made an ex cellent governor. He has attended strictly to his business, the business of his ofTice, and he has made mighty few mistakes. He has been a very positive man in office, and his record has utterly confounded those of his critics who in sisted when he was a candidate that he lacked firmness and decision of charac ter. We have had few governors who have been so careful and just in the exercise of the pardoning power, and we think he has been moved by patri otic considerations in all of his import ant acts. Should Gov. Ansel become a candi date for the Senate, he will disappoint his friends, including thousands of those who are chiefly responsible for his election as governor. At the be ginning of the campaign of 1900 he was taken up by the advocates of local option because he was deemed to be the strongest candidate who stood for that principle. On this point his views were unequivocal; they were circulated all over South Carolina in a poster, and wherever a voter was to be found who believed that decent government de pended ipon the destruction of the State dispensary and the substitution of local option for it he chose Ansel as Iiis man to support?a choice which nearly every newspaper in the State opposed to the State dispensary com mended. But the local option principle is not yet safe. It will be attacked in the next campaign. If Gov. Ansel is not its defender, and is a candidate for an other office, he will be accused of run ning away from a fight after having collected the rewards when it was half over. We do not think he will be a candidate for Senator. We do not see bow he can bring himself to be, and, entertaining for him the highest regard now as always, we declare our confi dence that he will stand by his princi ples through another campaign and not retire from the governorship at a time when retirement will plunge the people into an unpleasant contest for which they are not hungry. Of course there are plenty of good men who might be elected governor, but nobody wants a gubernatorial race next year. Should Gov. Ansel announce himself promptly as a candidate for re-election, he would have no serious opposition; we do not think he could be beaten for governor; his record is too clean and strong and good for the people to refuse him an other term; but his refusal to run again would be explained by his ene mies as due to cold, calculating uelfish ness that puts the public interest in second place beside his personal ambi tion. We do not know yet who will be the candidates against Senator Latimer. As between Latimer and Ansel The Advertiser would probably not be es pecially solicitous about the result. We cherish nothing against Mr. Latimer, though we do not regard him as a heavyweight, but we could not be en thusiastic at this time for Gov. Ansel as a candidate for the Senate, though we reserve the privilege of changing our mind every day or two until the elecion is decided. If Gov. An sel should be a candicate for Senator the credit that he won by an excellent administration as governor would bo endangered. In no event will the chioce be limited to Latimer and Ansel. Should Mr. John Gary Evans, Mr. (icorge Johnstone, Mr. Daniel S. Hen derson, Mr. Joseph A. McCullough and Congressman Asbury F. Lever be can didates, each of them would, in our judgment, stand as good a chance to lead in the first primary au would either Mr. Latimer or Mr. Ansel. Of course, if Ex-Governor Heyvard should enter that would upeet all calculations: and the State has some other excellent ma terial. Ex-Governor John C. Sheppard would make a fine Senator, so would G. D. Bellinger, so would others; and we have in mind one whom we may name later. A Narrow Escape. G. W. Floyd, a merchant of Plunk, Mo., had a narrow escape four years ago, when he ran a jimson barr into his thumb. He says: "The doctor wanted to amputate it, but I would not con sent. I bought a box of Bucklen's Ar nica Salve, and that cured the danger ous wound. 25c at Laurens Drug Co. and the Palmetto Drug Co. BANKERS MEET IN COLUMBIA. Pinn to Ease the Stringency in Moving Cotton Crop. Columbia, November 6. ? About thirty members of the South Carolina Bank ers' Association, including Mr. W. D. Morgan, of Georgetown, president, met in Columbia today. These gentle men represented the "finances" of practically every banking town in the State. They adopted a resolution that is a compliment to the banking institu tions of Columbia and Charleston. If the request of the State bankers is complied with, there will be an im mediate easement of the stringency, and the banks will be able to give much more assistance to the cotton growers. It was decided to ask the association of banks in the two cities named to issue clearing house certifi cates to take tho place, locally, of other forms of cash that have been drawn to the great centers and held there. The following resolution was unani mously adopted: "Whereas, The financial disturbances in New York have resulted in a scarcity of actual currency, so much needed at this time to move the cotton crop of the South, while our banking institu tions are in the best condition they have ever been; and "Whereas, This scarcity of actual currency is also depressing the price of our products and causing them to be sacrificed; and "Whereas, Some measures for sub stituting a circulating medium in place of this currency is of extreme import ance for the protection of the values of our products, "Now, therefore, We, the said meet ing of bankers of South Carolina, do hereby resolve: "1. That the clearing house associa tion of Columbia and Charleston be re quested to issue clearing house certifi cates for the general relief of such con ditions in this State as is above de scribed. "2. And that all banks in the State be requested to urge the use of such certificates in lieu of currency until conditions again become normal." If the banks of Columbia and Charles ton issue certificates in response to this request, these certificates will be ac cepted as money by banks all over South Carolina, and will, therefore, be as good as gold for any use in this State. Mr. Giles L. Wilson was present at the meeting as secretary. It is healthful, wholesome. It's as for one as the other. A little dose will make you sleep and eat. Makes peo ple happy.

Ansel issued his first Thanksgiving proclamation, nam ing Thursday, Nov. 28, as a day to cease from all labor and assemble in places of worship for the purpose of returning thanks to Almighty Cod for the many blessings that have been be stowed on the people during the past year. The governor says: In conformity to a beautiful custom established by our forefathers and per petuated by the religious sentiment of our people, I, M. F. Ansel, Gover nor of the State of South Carolina, do hereby designate and appoint Thursday, the 28th day of November, 1907, as a day of general thanksgiving. The State of South Carolina has been signally blestted during the past year. We have enjoyed the liberty and se curity guaranteed by a peaceful gov ernment; we have advanced in educa tion and morality; our material re sources have developed; our fields have yielded their harvests in great abund ance; we have been spared from fam ine and pestilence, and no public ca lamity has befallen the commonwealth. Let all the people, therefore, put aside their usual vocations upon the day herein appointed, assemble in their houses of worship and in their homes to return thanks to Almighty God for his wonderful love and mercy to us as a people and as a State, and for the manifold blessings he has bestowed up on us. Let us, also, on this day of thanks giving and praise, remember the poor and needy, the widow and fatherless, the sick and distressed and the orphan ages In our State with words of com fort and cheer, and with our gifts. Out of our abundance let us enrich and make glad the unfortunate, realizing that the greatest of Chistian virtues is charity. And let us evor invoke the Great Giver of every good and perfect gift for a continuenco of His infinite kind ness, that peace, prosperity and happi ness may abide in the land forever.

THE Pfl?Y OF A GRIZZLY. By ? LIU to Ovsrsight Bruin Was Rob bed of ? Good Meal. In the early settlement of California grizzly bears wore numerous and trou blesome, but few men ever had a more singular experience with a grizzly than Paul Sweet, who kept a tannery near 8anta Cruz. The story is told by Mrs. Dnll In "My First Holiday." Mr. Sweet was one day walking alone lu tho woods when be came sud denly upon a grizzly bear and her two cubs. He was quite unarmed, and be fore be bad time to consider any plan Of action tho bear was upon him. She struck him down, but he kept his pres euce of mlud nnd lay perfectly quiet. The grizzly stood over hlui for a mlu uto or uiore, then seized him by the waistband and began dragging him along! He did not resist, aud she drag ged him for a dozen rods to a Uttlo sandy hollow, where sho dropped him and began digging n bole In tho sand. Into this hole she rooted the man, and thc'i nosed and pawed the sand over htm until ho was buried from sight. The prudent animal, not being hungry at tho moment, was innklug n cache of her prey. Mr. Sweet's heart lightened ns he realized the brute's intentions, and ho began to hope that he might escape. Ho waited a few minutes after tho bear had covered him In, and then, thinking that sho had retired from tho scene, he bogan to work himself freo very cautiously. Tho grizzly was on tho watch, howevor, and at the first movement of hor prey rushed to the spot and with two or three strokes of her paw snugly tuekod him in again. Mr. Sweet instantly became motion lass again and allowed himself to be roburled In the sand. Luckily his hat had slipped over his face, so that the sand did not fill his nose and eyes, and by raising his head a little he was able to throw off tho sand sufficiently to brent ho. He was more wary next time and lay Btill for an hour or two until he felt pretty suro that the grizzly had retired from the spot. Very cautiously then ho worked himself free from the sand j and crept away. LAPSE OF REASONING. Instanoos by Two of tho World's Greatest Benefactors. To Illustrate the kiud of lapse of rea soning power from which great In ventors are known to suffer, like that under iiifiuenco of which Sir Isaac Newton cut one hole in a wall to let a cat pass through and then u small hole for tho kitten, nn old story In the lifo of Morse will answer well. Long beforo he Invented the telegraph Morse was known to the officers of the patent office as a persistent applicant for pat ents. When his great iuveutlon of "distance writing" was nbout eomplet- j ed he wanted the Baltimore and Ohio j Railway company to try it. To get rid of him tho president of the road turned him over to a subor dlnate. This official was struck with the beauty of the invention nnd became i so interested in it that ho sat up half the night discussing It with tho in ventor. At length Morse confessed there was only one thing which baf fled hlui. "As long as the railroad runs,'* he said, "where poles may be erected It will be easy sailing, but when we come to the big bridges what is to be done then? We can't erect poles across the stream, and without them the who would sag and perhaps break j from its own weight. I confess I don't know what to do. Can't you suggest | a way out of the difficulty? "Why don't you fasten the wires to the bridge?" asked his companion without a moment's hesitation. For a moment Morse gazed at him, with open mouth, and then exclaimed: "Why not, indeed? Why, I never thought of that. It's the very way." The layman's tip put the finishing touch to the work of the great in ventor, nnd thus wires came to bo strung on bridges when crossing large streams. Biemarck's Retort. One evening when the German troops were before Paris Duke Ernst of Saxe Coburg-Gotha began grumbling In Bis marck's presence because the iron cross of the first class, given for brav ery In the field of battle, had been dis tributed too Indiscriminately. Bis marck replied that the distribution of such decorations was always a dellcato and difficult task, "for," said he, "con spicuous merit has to be rewarded, but In some cases conspicuous position, with or without merit, ennnot be over looked. See now," he said, "Moltke has it, Roon has It, Blumenthnl has it. Excellent! But," he added, "your high ness nnd I have it, too, and surely it is not for us to grumble!" An Odd Legacy. Thomas Jefferson, the founder of the Jefferson family of actors, was re niemborod curiously in tho will of Weston, who was himself nn esteemed member of Garrick'S company. Wes ton's will contained this itoni: "I have played under the manage ment of Mr. Jefferson at Richmond and received from him every politeness. I therefore leave him all my stock of prudonco, It being the only good quali ty I think ho stands In need of." 'l>K A Heated Discussion. "What's tho matter with the flro eater?

"It's as easy as rolling off a log for a girl to disguise herself as a boy and to keep her iden tity unknown in thj;; city," said Mrs. Natalie Clark, who says her real name is Mrs. C. S. Pool. "I have done it fiye years right under the eyes of tho Pinkcrtons and the police, "Not only that, but I have earned my living as a clerk in a jewelry storo in ono place for three years and in a Maiden Lane shop for three months. There never was a moment when I felt fear of detection." The young woman told yesterday of the adventures that had happened to her during the five years in which she dressed and appeared as a dapper young man. In spite of her arrest for masquerad ing as a man, Mrs. Pool is so entranced by the freedom of the life, and also by the comfort of masculine attire, that she declared yesterday that as soon as she could disguise to outwit the police again she was going back to men's clothes. "While I believe it is far healthier for a woman to wear men's attire, dis card corsets and lead an outdoor life, I can tell you from actual knowledge that it is far more expensive to dress as a man tban as a girl. "I found that just by wearing men's clothes I lost a lot of the petty traits inherent in my sex, and I learned to look at things from a far broader point of view. I have been married twice, but I will never marry again, for I in tend to lead the life in which I have had my greatest happiness?as a man? if I can do so without being detected.'' Mrs. Pool gives as her reason for as suming male attire that she wanted to find her husband, who had deserted her and who frequented the cafes and pool rooms of the Tenderloin. "I knew I could not go to those places as a woman, so one day I made up my mind to see how I made up as a boy. I have always lived in the West, and, as I am strong and robust, I found the clothes looked very well indeed on me?so well that I scarcely recognized myself." She says she was married to C. S. Pool, a salesman in the Little Church Around the Corner, in March, 1896, and that afterward her husband fell in to an inheritance and deserted her. "I have often seen him in cafes and restaurants with other women, but he never recognized me in my boy's clothes," she said. "I would sit at the next table and hear him converse about various things, hoping in this way to learn his address, but I have never been able to find that out. I am seek ing him to be released from him." She says she is the daughter of a Russian princess and that her father, who is dead, was a captain on a ship plying between Seattle and Alaska. She was born in Alaska, and she says there is Indian blood in her family. She is a comely young woman, and there are distinct traces of her Indian parentage in her dark face and brown eyes. Wonderful Eczema Cure. "Our little boy had eczema for five years," writes N. A. Adams, Henri etta, Pa. "Two of our home doctors said the case was hopeless, his lungs being affected. We then employed other doctors, but no benefit resulted. By chance we read about Electric Hitters, bought a bottle and soon noticed im provement. We continued this medi cine until several bottles were used, when our boy was completely cured." Best of all biood medicines and body building health tonics.
