Last week F. NJ. Robinson gave us
special "ad," which we put across
the top of a page of the paper, offering
lonsdale domestic at the low price OF
81 cents. From some reason, which we
attribute to an over-supply of cotton
goods in all the homes of Greenville,
only bolt of this cloth was sold, when
25 bolts should have been disposed of,
as this goods can not be bought at the
mills for less than 81 cents today, and
with cotton still advancing there is no
telling what It will be worth six months
hence. Mr. Robinson, together with
the other merchants who advertise in
The Times are not offering you cheap,
catch-penny stuff, but goods of real
value at tempting prices. So in the
future read the advertisements that
appear each week, and by taking adj
vantage Of them many dollars will at
the end of the year be left in your purse.

Blood

We live by our'blood, and on
i. We thrive or starve, as
or Blood IS rich or poor.
There is nothing else to live
on or by.
When strength is full and
spirits high, we are being re.
freshed, bone muscle and brain,
in body and mind, with con-
tinual flow of rich blood.
This is health.
When weak, in low spirits,
no cheer, no spring, when rest
is not rest and sleep is not
sleep, we are starved ; our blood
is poor; there is little nutri-
ment in it.
Back of the blood, is food,
to keep the blood rich. When
it fails, take SCOTS Emulsion
of Cod Liver Oil. 1t sets the

HOar's Philippine Speech.

The comments of the Republi-
can press on Senator Hoar's Phil
ippine speech are interesting. They
commend his speech as an orator
ical effort in the highest terms,
but they mildly dissent from the
position he takes as to the method
that should be pursued in dealing
with the Philippine Islands. In
fact, they gently insinuate that the
senator is no longer one of the
trusted leaders of the Republican
party-that he has had his day,
and is back number. They do
not of course, say boldly that he
is a back number, but that seems
to be the idea which they enter
tain of him. Still, the fact is
recognized that he has consider
able influence in Massachusetts
and some of the other states, and
there is, therefore, a disposition
manifested not to say anything
harsh of him.
There is no apparent sentiment
in the Republican party in respect
to the Philippines like that ex-
pressed by the senator.
If a practical view is taken of
the entire Philippine question, it
is probable that it would be i'm
possible To deal with the islands
in accordance with the views of
Senator Hoar. His theory ap-
pears to be very fine, but it would
prove a failure in practice. If he
had his way the United States
would soon be in greater trouble
in the Philippines than they are
in there now.
1t is safe to say that the senator,
by his speech. made no impression
on his party that will cause it to
change its Philippine policy in the
least. If he made any impression
on it at all, it was that he is, en-
titled to place among the back
number statesmen.

Divorce From POpuIism Suggested

There was some plain talking at
the dinner of the Brooklyn Demo
cratic club Wednesday night. One
of the most notable of the speeches
was that of Hon. James +. Camp
bell, former governor of Ohio. His
subject was The Restoration of
Jeflersonian Democracy Among
other things that are exciting
comment, he said, in effect. that
the Democratic party had a great
opportunity this year To get con-
troll of the government, but in
order to do 50 it would have to cut
loose from populism.
There is quite strong senti-
ment in the Democratic party in
favor of dropping out of the plat
form that will be adopted at
Kansas City some of the things
which are in the Chicago platform
and of severing all connection with
the Populists. Mr.. Campbell
pointed out that the Democratic
party had not only lost the cam
paign of 1896, but had been losing
in every election since then. He
attributed these successive defeats
to populism.
We deem it a serious question
whether the party would gain any
thing by abandoning some of the
declarations made IN 1896. If it
could consistently do so it might
be freer to conduct a campaign on
issues which have come into ex-
istence since the last national
campaign. 1t would secure a big
army of recruits on these issues if
presented independently of those
which are connected with popu-
lism, but it would also lose many
voters from its ranks.

IT is now regarded as a certainty
that Sir Thomas Upton will make
another effort next year to lift
the Americas cup. His new boat
is to be designed by Fife, who is at
present engaged in making ex-
haustible tests of the Shamrock
model, and his friends predict that
the new boat he will evolve will
make the Shamrock look like a pre-

DIPLOMATIC relations between
this country and Turkey are some
what strained, growing out of the
bad faith the sultan has displayed
in fulfilling his promises. He
promised to pay indemnity claims
of American missionaries during
the Armenian massacre in 1895,
aggregating some s90,0O0 But
Uncle Sam should act wisely in
this matter. The English holders
of Turkish bonds might cause the
British government to take sides

lowing suggestion: If the people

Convict Lease System Is Bad.


The press of Florida has in nu-
merous instances heretofore dis
cussed the evils of the present
system of leasing out our state
convicts. This subject has been
prominently mentioned by differ
erent newspapers just prior to the
state legislature for several sessions
past, but the notice seemed to have
failed to reach the mark intended,
and our Florida legislatures have
allowed the matter to proceed in
the same old way.
Georgia was afflicted with the
lease system for a number of years,
but for a year past has had di-
rect control of the convicts with
good results, which may be cleaned
from the following paragraphs
taken from the Enquirer Sun, of
Columbus, which says:
The first years operation makes
a very gratifying showing as COM
pared with the results under the
old system. The report for the
year shows that the operations of
the new system have brought into
the treasury the sum of $500, 0,3S9.13
in addition to a net profit of 50, 900
made on the prison farm at Mill
edgeville. The sum of s120000
was appropriated to defray the ex-
penses of the system, but not all
of this amount will be needed.
Placing the expenses at the out
side figures, however, there is still
left to Georgia a clean profit of
$50, 900 for the year as a result of the
operations of the new convict law.
Under the old system, by which
the state practically sold her con-
victs to the lessees, the annual
profits rarely exceeded ten or
twelve thousand dollars. Under
the new system the state retains
control of her cOnvicts and looks
after them carefully.
They are fed by the state and
guards named by the state have
charge of them, and are responsible
to the state for their proper treat
ment. The cOnVicts are also cloth
ed by the state and are given good
medical attention. The lessees sim
ply designate the work the convicts
are to do and the state protects
them from mistreatment, and sees
that they are properly looked after
The new system is Il decided i'm
provement on the old lease system,
which was fruitful of so many scan
dals and the subject of so many ad-
verse criticisms. Georgia was GER
tainly fortunate in making the
change, and Florida would do well
to follow the example set by her
sister state.

There is no reed to hurry. We
