Woodrow Wilson and declaring that his views of free trade and protection were to bo measured by the effect upon business conditions. Mr. Hilles said in part: "I seo it is intimated by Gov. Wil? son that the Republican party is try? ing t<> evade discussion on the tariff. It seems to me that in that respect the boot is on the other leg. J have yet to llnd any of the Democratic speeches a clear definition of what, they propose to do In regard to the tariff if they control the government. "The essential question is how they propose to make those tariff reduc? tions without injury to labor and to American business enterprises. "The opposition should answer the question clearly and definitely, whether they propose to so far reduce existing tariff duties as to bring for? eign goods into effective competition with American goods of the same character and thereby to increase im? ports. If they do not mean it their I platitudes about tariff reform are a fraud and a delusion upon the Amer A'an people. If they do mean it then certain American Interests must suf? fer. "I think it is becoming clear to the business community and the working men that wasting their votes upon the i third party candidates is just as dan? gerous to the preservation of the pro? tective principles as voting directly for tho opposition candidates. it seems to be the purpose of the third party managers to defeat not only the Republican national ticket, but Republican candidates for congress, by skimming off just enough votes for J their own candidates in every State and district to wipe out existing Re? publican pluralities. "The effect of this policy would be appalling if it should succeed. It WOUld result In the return of free trade Democrats to congress from dis? trict after district now represented by Republicans. If the plan succeeded, there would not be left In congress a corporal's guard of members friendly even to a moderate degree of protec? tion. Even if Gov. Wilson, elected president under such conditions, i Should repent of the extreme policies of his party anil should veto measures aimed to carry out the policy of Champ 'Mark of levelling the custom houses to the ground, there would not be votes enough in the two houses to sustain the veto. "This || the road along which the third party candidate Ii seeking to b ad the country -not merely the de? feat of a worthy Republican presi? dent, but turning the country over, bound hand and foot, to tht mercies of a radical majority, which would be too powerful to be Influenced ev< n by it.-! more sober and conservative element^." ?

Said he. only an individual who gets the opportunity to go into hun? dreds of private premises in Sumter has any idea of how many thousands of splendid chickens are annually raised in Sumter. In some of the yards as many as one hundred can be seen. The poultry exhibit from Sumter city alone will be a splendid advertisement for Sumter county. Then again, said he, we must take Into consideration another most im? portant feature of our home pro? ducts which will show up Immensely. 1 have been honored by being given a peep int<? hundreds of pantries of Industrious housewives in Sumter Cl y and in different sections of Sum? ter county. Now here is where the mouth waters and the eyes grow wider when you see from time to time the many thousands of jars of preserved peaches, pears, watermel? on rind preserves, cherries, and other fruits, and the many hundred ( ans and jars of artichokes, tomatoes, beans, peas, and other vegetables an? nually put up by Sumter county's thrifty wives and daughters. And yet "the half has never been told." Wlu n we consider the thousands of farmers who can put on exhibition the most magnificent specimens of Held products, hundreds of splendid hogs, cows. horses, sheep, goats, mules, why you begin to realize just what Sumter county can do at a county fair. Then take tin manufactured pro? ducts of Sumter and Sumter county grouped together in one building. Imagine yourself gazing at many ex? hibits of hardwoods, curly and long leaf pine, and other native woods. The home manufactured exhibit will require much space and will be together with other natural resources exhibited a magniticent advertise? ment of Sumtei- county as a very de sirable place to live and for diver? sified manufacturing, farming, and live stock, ami poultry. Altogether speaking we have much to be proud of and to show to the thousands of visitors who will be at? tracted here by a county fair. Bum tor county and city have made great strides during the past fifteen years in many ways Our own people do not realize the great changes which have taken place. Prosperity has smiled on our people's efforts. But we don't get together verj much.

Toky??, Sept. 26.?An appalling lows Of life and property resulted from the typhoon, which swept Japan from ; end to end last Sunday, according to j reports brought by persons arriving from the. provinces. Tens of thous? ands of persons are homele**, and the damage exceeded $20,000,000. 1 The storm was the worst that has occurred here for over half a cen? tury. Where the full fury of the typhoon was centred nothing has been left , standing. Whole villages have col? lapsed, temples, schools, houses and theatres have been wiped out and In : cime places whole forests have been i destroyed. The loss of the mail boat at Shim onozkl is said to he due to negligence I of the captain, who has since at- j tempted suicide. Four hundred Sa porl fishermen were lost in the hur? ricane.

Fi?<?n Pre? dicts 15 Cent Price for Crop. Columbia, Sept. 26.?The follow? ing statement has been issued by President Dabbs, <?f the Str.te Farm? ers' Union: To the Farmers Ol South Carolina: Never before that I can recall have We had better prospects of good prices for cotton. Sixty days ago cotton sold at 13 1-2 cents at interior points. All of a sudden, "without rhyme or reason," the market broke and It J continued to go down until 10 1-2 cents was reached in the local mar? kets. Not having the desired effect of stampeding the farmers like it has in the past, we see it steadily going up. Bach day the "wise-acres' sny it will break tomorrow. Each day they say Liverpool should come down six or I seven points. Bach day sees the re j port that Manchester continues fo buy ! at higher prices than can be paid on this side. What does it all mean? ; If it means anything it means that cotton Is in demand; that organiza? tion Is telling, or that there Is fear of I it; that the farmers, the merchants and the hankers need but to pull to- . gether and we will see l?-cent cotton for two-thirds i f this crop, it also means that they are working togeth? er more closely than ever before. Market Blowly and the price is ours. We rejoice in the activity display? ed in organizing Chambers of Com? merce In the towns and cities of the South. We rejoice in such boosters' trips as Richmond, Va., just pulled off and as Sumter will pull off in a few months. We rejoice ;<t the hopeful htt.-rs from the various counties of South Carolina that look to thorough organization of the Farmers' Union in them. V. s, we will organize. When ?ach county has its strong Farmers' Union and each town its aggressive I Chamber of Commerce all working in harmony, then ws will tea a State Farmers' Union and a state Chamber of Commerce building a greater , South Carolina. i:. w.

Arc <i|..-inv mm (.1 niest Advantage uf Op|M>rtuiiit,>. Atlanta Georgian. This is the great week of the year all over the United States. It is the week of the public schools. Millions of children begin again the year of study, of mental work ?a year of hup.- and opportunity. In the great city schools of iron and brick and glass the children go in hundred- and thousands?a great pro? cession blocking the. streets at the morning and evening hours. In the country, on lonesome hill? sides, the small schools arc opening patient women are ready for the work that means so little pay and to little gratitude, and a few children gather frcm far and near under the slanting shingle roof and the flag that files above it. No week means as much as this week of school opening to the people of the United States and especially to the futuie ofthe United States. At the opening of school fathers and mothers should talk to their children and impress upon them what the public schools mean. For ages human beings were rul? ed, they were miserable, oppressed and helpless; because they were ig? norant. Very slowly the people at the bot? tom moved toward the top. Slow1}' and painfully, in one country after another, they acquired the greatest of all rights, the right to knowledge. In this country, more than in any other, that right has been developed. Every boy and girl who will may learn. The wonderful art of printing and the knowledge of reading open all science, all history, everything that is worth while to the mind of every child. The boys as they go to school today look very much alike and act very much alike. The big boys tease the little boys, and the little boys retali? ate, when they dare. A spirit looking down from above upon the children would see little dif? ference. Hut the difference is there, and it is largely in the spirit in which the opening of school is greeted. Try to make your children real? ize that school is their opportunity. Make them feel that when the school doors open it means more to them than if the door of some great mine of Aladdin's wealth were opened be? fore them. Wealth without knowledge is noth? ing. Knowledge alone makes posses? sion worth while. Tell your boys and girls how the greatest success in the world has been won by study, and usually by children who had little opportunity?except the chance to get knowledge. Make them understand hOW long it has taken to establish p.iblic schools and let everybody learn. Tell your little boy that he has as good a chance today as any boy born in the country?if he will take it. Make your little girl feel that what the school teaches to her she will teach to lor children in the future and do work as important as th H of any man. Interest yourselt |g the SChOOl life of your children. In their studies, in their success, and especially in their disappointments and school SOITOWI ? those sorrows arc very real to little children. If you can do so. hoe ?me SCqUUlttt ed with the teacher In whose hand* your children are placed. Make the teacher feel that you appreciate the work th i\ the teacher does?the greatest work in the world. Mak?- your children realise what they owe to the teacher?Obedience, Respect and Gratitude.
