Stand by the Democracy.

There is general approval of the
position taken by Senator Irby in
favor of sticking to the Democrat,

Senator Irby's. It's the sentiment
of the great body of Demcratic vo-
ters in South Carolina. We can
not afford to experiment with a
new organization. Such a course
would lead to Generalization, con-
fusion, disruption-all tending to
the advantage of the common enc

Everybody knows that the earth
makes one complete revolution on its
axis once in each 81 hours. Rut few,
however, have an idea of the high rate
Of speed ut which such an immense
ball must turn in order to accomplish
the feat of making one revolution IN a
day and a night. A graphic idea of
the terrific pace which the old earth
keeps up year after year may be had
by comparing its speed to that of
cannon ball fired from a modern high
pressure gun. The highest velocity
ever attained by such a missile has
been estimated at 1876 feet per sec
ond, which is equal TO n mile In 2-10th
seconds. The earth, in making one
complete revolution in the short space
of "a hours, must turn with ? velocity
almost exactly equal to that OF the can.

IN CASE OF WAR.

Since the war scare was started con-
siderable attention has been devoted
to some statistics recently PUBLISHED
by Michael Mulhall, the English stat
istician and political economist. They
relate to the producing powers of the
different nations of the earth and go
to show that were every port in this
country blockaded so that it could
have no communication with any
other country of the world the people
of the United States could support
themselves in great abundance for
any length of time. They would raise
food, manufacture clothing from
home grown raw material as we'll as
provide arms, munitions of war, build
ships and railroads and do everything
else necessary for the protection, we'll
being and prosperity of the country.
By the figures which he has tabu-
lated Mr.. Mulhall shows that from
1920 to 1890 the foot ton power of the
United States increased from 4,392,-
900, 900 of foot tons daily to 129, ,306,-
OOO,OOO ioOo COlS "A lOOO OOh 10 o.
method statisticians have of measur
ing the producing powers of coun-
try. It signifies the ability of a man
to accomplish with ordinary exertion
in ten hours an amount of work equal
to raising 800 tons a foot high. In
1920 the forces at the command of
Americans we're equal to 436 foot tons
of power per caput of the population.
By 1890 the productive forces had in
creased to 1, $40 foot tons per caput.
No other civilized nation in the
world possesses equal power. This
country is the worlds food producer.
It raises more grain, stock and other
foodstuffs than any other nation. 1t
grows more cotton and yields more
timber, iron, coal and other natural
products which go to minister to
mans comfort, happiness and wealth.
Next to it in the scale comes Great
Britain, the producing power of which
is 1,47O foot tons to the inhabitant
daily. Germany's forces amount to
9O2 foot tons for each person daily,
those to France to go foot tons, those
of Spain to $50 foot tons, those of
Austria 20 $50 foot tons and those of
Italy to $50 foot tons.

The constitution of Utah contains
several new features. For instance, it
provides that juries shall consist of
eight men instead of twelve, and that
in civil cases three fourth of the num-
Der may render a verdict. Another
provision is to the effect that the state
shall never go into debt exceeding
5000, 900, except in case of insurrec-
tion; and another guarantees to every
citizen the right to obtain employ,
ment wherever possible, and makes
any interference with this right a
crime. 1t is generally known, that
suffrage is given to woman on equal
terms with men.

1t seems that Benjamin Harrison,
like many other lonely and disconso-
late widowers, seriously contemplates
matrimony. The fact is affording no
end of comment, and the press talk is
silly, if not disgusting. The story is
circulated that some of Benjamin's
children are mad and that they
threaten to kick up big row if mat
rimony transpires. This is not the
first instance of the kind where child
rem have objected to the marriage of
parents. The smoke will blow away
in due time and the children will be-
come reconciled, and the mother will
prove both beloved and useful to the
family. The lady to whom the good
Ex-President is to be married is Mrs
Dimmick, sister Of his late wife, and
an estimable lady. What need of any
great ado about it?

Notwithstanding the continued dis

Notwithstanding the continued dis
parity between government receipts
and expenditures, against the former,
the reports show that there are now
locked up in the treasury considera-
bly, more than hundred millions in
treasury notes, which therefore, can
not be used to raid the treasury gold,
and it appears that the raiders are
''hustling" about collecting currency
certificates and using them to draw
greenbacks to be used in turn for
drawing gold. This situation empha-
sizes strongly what might have been
the situation if the receipts had con-
tinued all along to overbalance the
expenditures,
