Theie is some talk, we underitand, of taking off the Lanes-Florence train, which was put on last fall on condition that if, after fix months operation, the railroad authorities could show that the train failed to pay expenses of operation the railroad commission would allow the service to be discontinued. t* 1 11 18 ruuiuieu iuat iuc imuwu people clairr that this tiain has failed to pay expenses and under their agreement with the ommission it will be taken off. Whether the rumor referred to 18 authentic we are without definite information, nor are we able to say whether or not the tram has earned ruuning expenses. But we have heard from various lources that this is one of the best patronized trains on the Northeastern railroad. If this be true, it is hard to understand why it does not pay. During the time it has been opeiated this train has been a great convenience to the local traveling public and it would be a hardship to have it discontinued just as the people along the line have begun to appreciate it most. It is a matter for the railroad commissioners to pass upon and it behooves tbeni to look well and carefully into a matter that affects so rnanv people. If the railroad officials can demonstrate that the train actuary fails to pay expenses, in all fairness, they can scarcely be blamed for taking it off. But is. that a fact? There's the rub, and it ie up to rhe commission to decide. Needed?A Live Board of T Id view of the fact that the business conditions of this community, along with others, have lately been subjected to trying circumstances, there are problems now confronting its busiuess men that should receive their concerted and sympathetic discussion. In order for this to be most effectively done, there should be a; live and enthusiastic organization, composed of the business men,: "Ahere tlit*y might engage freely , in open discussion of all prob- ! j lems confronting the business' * I community and formulate plans! | for the betterment of business)] ! 1 (conditions. Point out a town or I ! 1 j city that is forging to the front N along commercial lines and vou' ^ JO ] invariably point to one where j, there is a wide awake organization ^ of the business men. Therefore, ! i ? ! the business men of Kiugstree J < should take some steps towards ( the reorganization of the board of! ( trade and inject into it life and 1 I I enthusiasm in order to beat pro- j i mote the business affairs of our ! < ( ! town. i < ; No Victor, No Spoils. In an interview given outj Tuesday to several Washington j J e nov.spaper correspondents Senator1 | Tillman says: j Now, having been goaded into this thing. I am going to tell von what I think about this tempest in a teapot about instructing the delegation. Gonzales wants to; make it appear that he is the i biggest lb van man in the State so that if Bnan is elected the edi-1 tor of the State can control the South Carolina patronage. Senator Tillman or Editor Gonzales need not waste his beauty sleep apportioning the spoils of a Bryan victory. As the little boy said about the apple, "There aint goin' to be auy core." ? i Senator Tillman is certainly j improving. 5 ________ The remote possibility of there j being any "Democratic patron- c age" in the near future isn't ^ j worth quarreling over. ( ? ( How tame South Carolina pol- f ] itics would be without an affectionate jab now and then from 1 "Uncle Ben's" pitchfork. v When the instructed delegates to the State Convention instruct other delegates to the national J convention to vote for Bryau "first, last and all the time," why g not carry the process of instruction still further and instruct Mr1 Bryan what to do when he is in- 1 ducted into the presidential office, j If "vox populi" is the slogan c play it to the limit. ^ - | ? We have little doubt that MiBryan will be nominated as the Democratic candidate for presi- 1 dent and we feel equally conOdeut that he stands no show i of being elected. It may be very j well, however, to let Mr Bryan I have another chance this lime, j If any other candidate were1 c t named he would probably be de- , feated and many blind, fatuous j 1 worshipers of Bryan could never! i be oouviuced but tl at had the silvertongued Nebraskan been the standard-bearer he would have led, the party to victory. ! r s Read the Farmers & DIerctian i Bank's ad. this Issue. - - !? State has Borrowed $200,000. 1 ; c A loan of $200,000 has been made j ( the State of South Carolina for the purpose of paying the running expenses of the State until July 1 and the State pensions, amounting to t $250,000. There is now a balance c of over$G0,O00 in the treasury, but 2 ! the additional loan is necessary be- * I ; cause of the ordinary expenses. \ It is probable that another loan 1 will have to be made during the lat- c ; ter part of June to pay the semi-an- E j ual interest on the public debt. The ? J law does not allow the State to bor- i row over ?500,000 each year and it is c probable that all of this sum will i have to be applied for dnring 1908. I The State pays 4 1-2 cent interest on | this loan. fl / / A USEFUL BUSYBODY. II Tells Philadelphians Who Is at ths Front Door. If you were to ask the average icrson what a busybody is the replvould probably be "one who do lot mind his or her business." Su t definition would be laughed at Philadelphia. A "busybody" Philadelphia is an inanimate obje vhich reveals animate objects. N\ vhcre in the country are busybodies ?niploved so extensively as in the | Quaker City. They are to be found I in almost every house, at \y~ jvcry house of any protons; I'nless you have lived i lelphia such an explanation . tot prove satisfactory, however ... .. r.f ? JU?? I^'ni ? is?

One piece of jlass is set at an angle to catch a eflection of all that is going on at he right side of the street and an)ther to reflect the approach to the eft. In Philadelphia, w ere ninety- j line out of every hundred Inm .? ?{ ire built out to the sidewaj^ ind all houses are built in ine, busybodies become great t 'avers for housekeepers.
