Train to be Taken Off?
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' *

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

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

if the bui'ding <.;>n |>v looking into
he topmo ? pore of glass see what
s going on in the street below or
rho or what may he passing up and
lown the street without opening the
vindow to look out. The mirrors

The primary object in setting up

Tont door or who may he approaehng

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. If '
arable callers come to th
loor the busybody gives

By keeping an eye on the .-ybody
lie woman at her sewing maehine
an detect the caller the moment he
omes within range of the mirrors,
ind plenty of time is given for
irinking.
The busybody is useless on a
louse which has its front covered
vith a porch or which sets back
:rom the street.?New York Tribine.

"Tobacco isn't the only thing

'I wish it was. In the far east

they add a little lime. It's a

Vegetable Ivory.
The nlant vielding the vegetable

macrocarpa. It is a native

ilong the Magdalena river, in Coombia.
It is a stemlcss, palmlike

vith from twelve to twenty very
ong leaves. The fruit consists of a
'onglomerated head in six or seven
ections, the whole being inclosed in
t woody covering, forming altogetht
a globe as large as a man's head.
V single plant sometimes bears six
