What Kind Of Love.

What kind of people does Goo
want US to love?" asked Willie. He
was getting ready for bed.
ssHe wants us to love everybody
said mama.
"Oh! that's too many" said Willie
"altogether too many, I think"
"You mustn't say that" said nam,
ma, patting her little boys curly
head.
But all the people in this big
world, mamma! See how many there
would be-" argued Willie.
"No NATTER" replied mamma.
"God loves them all-every one. He
has shown US way, too, by which
We may love them; can you think out
Gods way?@
spraying for them?" asked Willie,
Yes" said mamma. "Praying
for them is loving them
So Willie knelt down and prayed
for the kind of people God would
have US love. This is the way he
closed his prayer: Il mean all the
folks there are anywhere in this big
world. Amen"

Wien We see country editor dis

the country the proper financial
policy to adopt We get fat:gued. But
when we bca: Q farmer who has not
saved enough money to run a ore
horse farm Without giving lien, DO

The idea Of a man knowing how to
manage the finances Of the country

The financial questions Of q coun-

that confront the Statesman, and rot
a dozen men in the country know
enough about it to command decent
consideration, but the veriest idiot in
the country can settle it off hand.

Premature Dancing.
Abbeville Press and Blnner.

Abbeyil,e Press and Blnner.
Many of the political braves seem
TO be performing the war dance, as
they suppose, over the political grave
OF Governor. Ellerbe.
The Governor may be as dead as q
door nail, but We are not ready to
believe it. We shall be very much
surprised if he is not a factor in the
next primary.
1t is true that the Governor has
made political mistakes, and it is
equally true that the Legislature has
not endorsed some of his official acts
The acts Of the General Assembly
have been construed as evidence Ct
the hostility Of that body.
We believe the Governor made a
political mistake in appointing Epton
Comptroller General.
We believe a majority of the mem
bers Of the Legislature voted for
Derham because they thought the
Comptroller Generals clerk should
have the Office.
We believe that the members were
not actuated by any unworthy desire
to humi.iate the Governor.
The Governor having made othel
recommendations, other forces, Oh
good and sufficient reasons, were
present to induce the peoples Rep
resentatives to act according to then
own judgment. There is 10 gooc
reason why the Legislators should
sub ordinate their own judgment te
that of any other person.
The members Of the Legislature
will command public respect by th'
exercise of q little self-asseltion.

Good for Tillman.

Atlanta Journal.
The Journal has said go many Sc
we're things about Ben Tillman, every
one of which he richly deserved, that
we are glad he has given US an op-
portunity to commend him for some
thing.
This unexpected but most welcome
opportunity is offered by Tillman's
speech in the senate last Wednesday
oa the Hawaiian treaty. He scored
telling point on the Republican
senators, who are arrayed almost
solidly for the treaty. when he re-
ferred to the recent Revolution and
to what he termed the effort of the
Rpublican party to establish a gov
ernment in the interest Of the white
people in the islands when they mum
bered only about one out OF thirty of
the inhabitants, and in this connec,
ton referred to the reorganization OF
party lines in the South after the
war. I'VE were then," he said, lin
South Carolina attempting to estab-
lish white mans government. The
Republican party interferred with us
then, or attempted to do so, profess.
ing to hold opinions about the sacred
rights of the majority to rule.
I should like to know" he continued,
whether the Republican party has
changed its opionion on this subject
of the right of the white man TO rule,
for if it has and will extend it to the
Southern States I will vote for the
treaty"
That is what we call square
knock out. The hypocricy of the
Republican advocates of Hawaiian
anexation has never before been SO
neatly exposed, and we have read
with pleasure one speech of Ben
Tillman's upon which we can hearti.
ly congratulate him, and for which
We would like to shake his hand.

The Difference.
Columbia Evening Record.

Columbia Evening Record.
The Lexington Dispatch, which has
strong reason for its friendship for
Governor Ellerbe, reads The Record
this lecture: "Just the other day
the Evening Record gave Governor
Ellerbe Hail Columbia for appoint
ing about a forty-eleventh cousin as
his private secretary, but when Con
gresham Norton appoints his nephew
his private secretary our evening
neighbor is as dumb as an o; ster.
Come, be consistent, and condemn
this nepotism run wild, il as severe
terms as you did Governor Ellerbe.'
Consistency is something The
Record always aims at preserving and
if consistency demanded condelnna-
ton of Congressman Norton, The
Record would condemn him, regard
less of its warm friendship for him.
The governors private secretary is
not his "forty eleventh. cousin. We
have been assured by prominent
citizens Of Marion county that the
relationship between them is very
close-witbin the sixth degree.
There is law in this State which
prohibits the appointment by the
head OF any department OF the gov
eminent to any position Of honor,
trust or enrolment of any person re-
lated to him within the sixth degree
by affinity or consanguinity.
It was Governor EiIerbe's violation
of this statute which the Record con-
demned, and it expressly stated that
it expressed no opinion as to the
wisdom or justice of such a law.
Congressman Norton is federal off
cial and rot State officer, and hence
is not subject to the State statute
against nepotism. If he were violat-
ing State law, the Record would
not withhold it's condemnation. If
Governor Ellerbe can disobay law
he has sworn to enforce, why cannot
the private citizen do likewise. Pos
s,bly he thinks the anti repotism
statute unwise or unjust, but that is
Nd excuse for violating it. Very likely
tie men who sell liquor illiciily think
the dispensary law unwise and unjust,
but Governor Ellerbe would not re-

Woman's Drawback.

They are I'll Too Often Because

mess Woman's Telling Words.
From the Free Press, Detroit, Mich.
The greatest drawback to-day with
women that wolk in the stores and
factories is, that they do not take
the right care of their health. Busi-
ness men frequently say they cant
depend on women because they are
i'll too often. Ii every young woman
would take the right care OF herself
this complaint would never be heard.
Many thousands of young women
are working, suffering agonies that
would force man to a sick bed.
They bear their tortures in silence
because of their inborn modesty and
blame their mother for not advising
them.
Mrs. c.. ". Mansfield, of IS Farrar
Street, Detroit, Mich, is business
woman, and q successful one too.
Employing many young women and
having years of exp risncs in the bust.
ness world she is in position to speak
OF women who earn livelihood.
"For years." she says, Il suffered
in silence and was so worn out at
night that I could not sleep. I
visited female specialist who said 1
had complication of ailments pecu-
liar 10 women l could not find relief
from her remedies and tried 50 many
kinds OF medicine that I had given
up all hope of ever getting better.
Il was given box of Dr.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People, by q
young lady in my employ. The first
box gave me much relief and 1 was
able to rest at night for the first
time in many months.
II then bought more pills and
think I must have used a dozen boxes
in my own case: but have given away
to suffering women double that
amount. Without a doubt these
pills are good medicine for they
cured me, and have cured several
people to my knowledge.
Il think that if you should asl
any of the druggists of Detroit. who
are the best buyers of Dr.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People, they
would say the young women.
"These pills certainly build up the
nervous system and many a young
woman owes her life to them.
Gas q business woman am pleased
to recommend them as they did more
for me than any physician and I car
give Dr.. Williams Pink Pills TO,
Pale People credit for my genera
