THURSDAY, NOV. 26. 1908.
Be slow to make a promise,
but having made one fulfill it,
whatever may be the C03t.
The Republican campaigu contributions
have at last been made
public, amounting to $1,655,518.27.
The most practical form of
thanksgiving is to do something
for, or give something to some One
who needs it. The greater the
sacrifice the gift or service entails,
the greater the glow of satisfaction
the giver will feel.
^Tis not in mortals to comf
mand success; but we'll do more '
Semphronius, we'll deserve 1
it,'' which sentiment of Mr Ad- '
i
dison seems very much a propos '
in contemplating the overwhelming
defeat of Mr Bryan. The
gifted Commoner did not win at
the ballot box, but the principles
h? advocates will lead to ultimate
victory, whoever may be the
* standard-bearer. As Mr Bryan
himself says, "it is merely a battle
lost-, not a war.''
, Mr Robert Lathau, who resigned
as stenographer in the
child judicial circuit to take a
ipoetion with the Charleston News
& Courier several years ago, has
recently been promoted to the responsible
post of city editor on a
that newspaper. During his iu- s
cumbency as stenographer on this v
^circuit, Mr Lathan gained many
friends and performed his duties
\tt the court room with the same I
' ]
conscientious zeal and energy that
characterize his newspaper work. 1
Merit will tell and we*are glad j
that the discerning management <
of the News & Courier has rec- 1
ognized and rewarded the conspicnous
ability of Mr Lathan. t
?
We understand that on account ^
of his feeble condition brought ]
on by long-continued illness, Gen
R R Hemphill, the editor of the
Abbeville Medium and the veter- t
I
an clerk of the Senate, will not a
s
o#er for re-election. Gen Hemphell
has made an excellent official
and we do not know anvone we ,
J s
would prefer for the place; but if
our friend is not going to run
again our next choice is Ed H
DcC.unp, editor of the Gaffuey
Ledger. DeCamp is affable aud (
courteous, pains-taking and com- j
petent and "business" to his finger
tips?an ideal man for this
responsible post. We hear that
he is goiDg to try for the
place and here's hoping that he
may win.
But tnat we fear she is surfeited
with sweets on account of
the numerous bouquets already
received, we would say that Miss
Estella Smoak, the editor of the
? Branchville Journal, gets out one
of the brightest and cleanest
"weeklies" that come to our office.
We doff our chapeau to
this fair member of the "Fourth
Estate" and congratulate her most
i
heartily cm the excellent newspa-j
per she is giving her readers. ;
Few people realize the hardships :
and never ceasing grind, the physical
and mental labor it takes
to edit a weekly newspiper, and
for a:; inexperienced young lady
to take tiie helm and steer her ;
frail bark through the troubled i
waters of journalism with tiltskill
and sure hand of a veteran
is worthy the admiration of all
her fellow-sufferers in the cause. J
Our
editorial reference last week
flia .1 rO aarvimtimr fVlP oniirl nf
IV kUL UVl OV^UIMVUSjj, v.a v vv??% - j
sessions and the court of common
pleas was based on o ir comprehension
of the subject in a gen- :
eral way. Since writing this ar-)
tide we have had a conversation!
with Senator Bass (ivlio assumes
responsibility for it) with regard
to the new law and we are con^'
viuced that our information when
the editorial was written did not
cover certain points which place
the matter in a different light.
/
In referring to the matter in the
first instance it was far from our
intention to reflect on anyone, but
merely to call attention to what
we deemed an act of useless and
unnecessary legislation, costing the
sounty several hundred dollars.
Senator Bass reminds U3 (and we
ire glad to be set straight) that unier
the old law the court of
mmmon pleas could not be op
med until Wednesday and it
arould have been impracticable for
;he same set of jurors to ?e
n both courts without
;ime" from Monday until
lesday of the first court v*
;herefore the county is out nc
ng so far as the paying of j
ors is concerned. We believt.
lowever, that the act might be
imended so that | both ^courts
:ould be held the same week, the
me immediately following the
>ther without loss of time, by <
fhich arrangement the county, in ^
i majority ofj cases, would , ^bo ,
aved a .substautial amount'in the
vay of expense.

The kind of Republican He Was.
Mr. Alton is one of the tew wbite ]
Republicans in his section of Arkan-:
sas. He has in his employ an aged j
negro known as "Uncle Reuben,"
who "feudurin' de wall had fit for de
Union."
A few months ago Uncle Reuben
applied for a pension. As Mr. Alton
was riding past a field where the old
man was plowing one .day hist week,
he was hailed in this wise:
"Marse John, I done got my papahs,
an' I wanter 'knowledge dem
'fore you."
"You cau't acknowledge them before
me, Reuben," was the response,
"you must go to Squire McC'abe or
some other magistrate."
"'Taiu't so," was Uncle Reuben's
indignant rejoinder. "My gal read

notorious Republican, au' dat'a what

A coastal tribe always considers j
itself superior to an inland tribe, :
and even its meanest member ^
claims to rank higher than the ^

most powerful man of an up conn- ^
try tribe. A man may marry any ^
woman lie likes of any tribe, it be- ^
ing held that he gives her his own j
status, whatever that may be, but f ^
it is almost unheard of for a woman
to marry "beneath" her. As a re- |
suit some of the women of the most ^
superior coast tribes, like the ! j
Mpongwe, look to marriage with j ^
white men and frequently attain to j *

The an English see, ,
being a and somewhat
troubled with a neglected diocese,
thought to inspire his clergy to take
occasional services during the week
by periodically visiting out oi the
way parishes 8nd taking one himself.
On one of these occasions, having
formed quice a good congregation
and having been moved to much eloquence
in his sermon, he felt a little
not unnatural desire to know if he
bad made any impression on the
usually unimpressionable vokcls and
put some leading questions to the ~~
aid clerk, who was helping him to
unrobe in the-vestry. "Well, I hope
they've been pleased with ycr," said ^
the old man patronizingly, "and I'm ^
sure we tuk it worn- kind o' yer j en

humility, "one could ha' bin found.""
Why He Attracted. ^
hn
A broker who had the reputation
of using strong language on the golf
links started out on a sunny au- pr
tumn afternoon to play nine holes, pa
Looking back after he had drivenoff,
he saw a great crowd following. ^
There were young men and old,
good players anch l?ud, all trailing ?
close behind with looks of interest ,
and expectation. In
The broker paused and turned. u<
He smiled politely and nervously, ve
"Really^ gentlemen," he said, "this is
very flattering. I hope I am in jn
good form this afternoon. I trust ve
I shall play weH enough to reward Li
all this kindly interest."
"Oh, it isn't that," replied an eld- _
erly lawyer, with a chuckle. "We

An Inch of Rain. ; _
The rain fell in buckets, the
thunder racketed terribly and the R<
lightning drew zigzag lines of bright
gold upon the violet sky. _
"So you, too, don't know what an
inch of rain is ekactly," said the m
weather clerk, as he looked at his
rain measuring instrument. "Very
few people do, it seems. I'll explain ;
it to you.
'*An acre is 6,272,640 square '
inches. An inch of water on an
acre is therefore 6,272,640 cubic 11
inches. That amount, at 227 cubic ?
inches to the gallon, equals 22,000 5j:
gallons or 220,000 pounds or 100 ou
tons. or
"An inch of rain is, in other
words, rain idling at the rate of _
100 tono to i'. e acre."?Philadelphia
