THE oleomargarine tax is being dis
cussed in the senatorial campaign
PSome of the candidates favor the tax
and some oppose it. 1t is true that the
question Is now purely academic, be-
cause the tax has already been imposed;
but still we are glad to note the discus
sion, because of the educational Valu:
of it. The question is like this. One
side holds that the tax is to the benefit
Of the southern farmer, because 1t is In
the nature Of a protection to butter
The other side holds that 1t Is disad-
vantage to the southern farmer. be
cause it curtails the market for cotton
seed oil. The purely political phase OF
the question Is not being emphasized
From that standpoint, the tax Is Re-
publican protection. Democratic doc
trine opposes the tax. We are more in
terested in the matter from an economic
than a political standpoint. and con-
slider local before national interest
Therefore, we are opposed to the tax
It is true that oleomargarine cheapens
the price of butter and that this tax on
oleomargarine raises butter prices
This, however, Is only applied to the
northeast, the west and those sections
where the manufacture Of butter fol
market is a large and important indus
try. In the southeast the manufacture
of butter for market is a comparatively
unimportant industry. At least the
quantity Of pure butter is so limited as
to command a good price, and that
price Is not interfered with by oleomar-
garine. The number Of people who pre-
fer and who will have nothing but pure
butter, is large enough to consume all
the pure butter to be obtained. We re-
fer especially to the kind Of people who
would not use oleomargarine at any
price Undel these conditions, it is IL
the interest of the people Of this section
that cotton seed sell at the highest price
possible, and the greater the demand
for oleomargarine, the higher the price
of cotton seed. Of course it may be
that we can sell our cotton seed to the
northern butter makers; but as between
the two conflicting interests of the
north, the oleomargarine manu'actu-
rers hold out the steadiest and stiffest
demand and, therefore, the southern
cotton seed producers find it to their
interest to back the northern oleomar-
~ fo of,
northern butter makers.

THY people Of the northern part OF
Spartanburg county have taken on
new county craze, and unable to secure
the desired territory in Spartanburg
have conceived the idea Of annexing the
adjoining portion of North Carolina, in
cluding the greater part of Polk county
The idea is fathered by John B. Cleve-
land, who, with that peculiar kind OF
generosity which takes the price of COW
eted conveniences out of other peoples
pockets, would swap Fort Mill and
the northern part of Lancaster, for the
desired territory out Of North Carolina
The argument is that the interests OF
Polk county would be subserved by the
proposed arrangement, just as would
the interests of Fort Mill township and
the northern part of Lancaster. AS to
whether the Polk county people would
be willing to become sandlappers we
have not sufficient information upon
which to base an opinion; but there is
little reason to believe that the Fort Mill
people have any desire to become tar
heels. However inconvenient their sit
uation might appear, they seem to be
getting along very well, and so far as
is known, there is no dissatisfaction
among them.

ting. Near by there was a large alb
cess that was filled with pus, and this
was opened. 1t is claimed that but for
the operation the king would have died
within few hours. The king stood the
operation well. and shortly after the
operation it was stated that although
the condition of the king was critical,
the trouble would not necessarily prove
fatal; but at the same time the corona
ton must be indefinitely postponed. It
was the wish of the king that all the
celebrations be carried out as originally
contemplated as far as possible; but
the people had no heart for such work
under the circumstances, and what was
intended to have been a day of enthu-
siastic joy became day of public and
private prayer.

If a large attendance at campaign
meetings is desired it is real pity that
the state convention did not only per-
NIT, but insist, on Senator McLaurin's
going into the primary. The people
would have enjoyed the situation i'm
mensely and would have taken great
pleasure in manifesting their compe-
tency to deal with the issues. If the
campaign had developed that Mr.. Nc
Laurin was the kind Of man the as
pirants to his seat and their friends
had represented him to be. the voters
would have rebuked him most effectu-
ally, and if, on the other hand. the con-
trary had been developed. the rebuke
would have peen bestowed elsewhere
But since the politicians have not seen
fit to trust this matter to the voters,
they, of course, are not especially in
terested in the existing condition. and
the politicians have no reasonable
ground for complaint.

SENATOR Morgan is not sulker'
Since his entrance into public life he
has been working for the construction
of an isthmian. canal. From beginning
to end he advocated the Nicaragua
route. 1t is probable that his choice
was influenced originally by the fact
that the French had acquired a prior
claim on the Panama route. But he
was consistently faithful to his first
love. However, when the senate decid-
ed in favor of Panama he at once ac-
cepted that choice in good faith, doing
all he can to see that Panama goes.
Senator Morgan is not sulker.

THE senate has passed the Appalaci

THE senate has passed the Appalach-
ian Park bill; but it is stated that
Speaker Henderson will not allow the
measure to come to a vote in the house
at this session. This bill provides for
the conversion of many thousands of
acres in Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina and Tennessee mountain lands
into a national park. The proposition
is of peculiar interest and Importance
to the entire southeastern section of the
United States, and it is hoped that 1t
will be carried into effect; but there is
little reason to expect definite action on
the subject for the next few years at
least.

speaking Of Neely, the abscondine
insurance man, local business man said
yesterday: II would not be understood
as defending Nicely; but I'll just tell you
that If the case ever goes to trial, 1t is
not at all certain that he will be con-
victed. This thing Of obtaining money
under false pretenses with intent to de.
fraud, Is difficult to prove. Suppose
Nicely did misrepresent things, Is 1t moi
common for life insurance men to dc
this? He got the premiums that were
paid him no doubt: but so far as
know, he did not take any assessments
They were paid over to Mr.. Herndon
the secretary and treasurer, who Is able
to account for everything that was paid
to him. Nelly was entitled to his pre-

am not going to say that Neely ought
not to be punished; but am doubtful
as to whether he could be under the
law"

A GREAT many people are settling
down to the conviction that If Cover
nor McSweeney desired another term
he made a mistake in not running. The
most serious handicap would have been
the unwritten law with reference to two
terms; but, under the circumstances,
the governor would have probably been
able to overcome this with the plea
that he was elected to only one term.

IT Is quite evident that Whatever
other people may do, Mr.. Bryan wants
no harmony of the kind that is proposed
by Mr.. Cleveland. He also holds to the
view that the minority should bow to
the will of the majority, and not that
the majority should bow to the will OF
the minority.

4 CELERY CAMELIA.
The Flower Was Missing and the
Vegetable Was Made to
Serve Instead.

While speaking of the serio-comic side of
stage lite recently, relates the New York
Times, Miss Clara Morris told the following
story as an experience of her own:
somewhere in the wide world" she said,
there is an actor-and a good one-who
never eats celery without thinking of me- 1t
was years ago when L was playing Camille.
In the hrst scene, you will remember, the
unfortunate Almond takes a rose from Ca.
mile as token of love.
We had almost reached that point when,
as L glanced down, l saw chat the flower
was missing from its accustomed place on
my breast.
What could i do? On the flower hung
the strength of the scene. However, I con-
tlnued my lines in an distracted fashion,
and began a still hunt for that rose or
substitute. My gaze wandered around the
stage. On the dinner table was some celery
Moving slowly toward it, grasped the
celery and twisted the tops into rose form
Then began the fateful lines:
Take this flower; the life of camelia
IS short-if held and caressed it will fade in
morning or an evening"
Hardly able to control himself, he spoke
his lines, which ran: 1t is cold, scentless
flower. 1t is strange flower
L agreed with him."
