HE DESERVES CREDIT.

Monroe Journal.
The last whiskey distillery that existed
in Union county has folded its tents and
stolen away, and Union county is per
haps as clear of liquor as any county
will be so long as the stuff is made in
<he country. To whom belongs the
credit? Oh, to lots of folks. Compari
sons are invidious and personalities are
disag reeabe Many earnest men have
worked nobly at the cause, but when the
history of it all is written large space
must be given to the persistent little
man-large in purpose and accomplish
ment-who went as straight for the blind
tigers as the needle to the pole and kept
it up steadily, all the time, with never a
furry nor a stop-Dr. Henry Dixon

Chicago is always presenting something
new and bizarre. This time it is an al
derman by the name of Stanley Kunz
who has a somewhat novel way of back
fairs. He has contended that the city
has been paying exorbitant prices for
street paving, and now that certain con-
tracts are to be readvertised he has
wagcred $4,000 against two new hats that
the price will be less than $422 per square
yard. The hats are put up by the Presi
dent and Secretary Of the Board of Local

The Augusta Chronicle in commenting
on the price of cotton says editorially:
1t is now reasonably certain that ten
cent cotton will be the rule for next
winter, and that no farmer need get less
than that figure for his product.
The total yield is placed by the Finan-
cial Chronicle at 10,758,326 bales for the
crop year ending August 81, which slightly
exceeds either of the two preceding years,
although falling short of the high record.
From the previous crop there was car
red over 172 $40 bales, making the total
supply 0,930, 946 bales. Net exports were
6.64S 203 bales exclusive of 49, 1863 sent to
Canada. Domestic spinners took 4,151,091
bales, of which northern mills had some
thing more than one-half Total stocks
on September /, 1908, were 16S, 1876, practl-
cally the same as were carried over from
the previous year.
Despite the fact that many mills have
been idle for some time owing to lack of
cotton, new plants have been completed,
so that the number of sDindles in the
United States has increased from 21,500,0O0
to 22,20O, 900 OF this increase 100000 or
about so per cent was at the South.
There is no marked shortage, however,
in the worlds production of cotton, the
total so far being 14,651, 900 bales, rs
against Ia, 413 900 in the preceding year.
In view of the increased consumption,
competent authorities regard 10 cents as
the logical price for spot cotton, and 91a
cents as the minimum.
''The December option says Dun's Re
view, "has declined to fairly representa-
tive position, 912 cents promising to be
as low as the relation of supply to de-

"SMART-SET" FRIENDSHIPS.
Few Are Formed without n Purpose,
Political, Social or FL
nancial.

Thenthere are friends in what is
labeled ''the smart set" whose motto in
lie would appear to be: Danish duh
care" These are the people who give
those cheerful dinners where nobody
cares a rap for precedence, writes the
Countess, in London Outlook. Every
body takes his affinity in to dinner; the
host starts off with the prettiest girl and
the hostess is taken down by some
beardless boy. 1t is Liberty Hall, with
nicknames for. all present, abundance
of "chaff" and stories something more
than risky. They are all great friends,
of course, and. call each other dear
things" ansl know exactly how much is
meant by ttab%hile they smile sweetly
and say "Gat" in connection with most
Of them behind their backs. Few Of
these so-ealled friendships in society
are made without a purpose; either po-
litical, social or financial The peerless
wants a Zip" from the millionaire,
either a stock exchange tip or one affect
ing coin or copper or whatever his spe-
cial line may be- Our mice" friends are
nice In so far as they are useful to us.
At the same time in justice to society 1t
ought to be pointed out that no one is
taken in BY these interested friendships.
The people who only make friends cal
culating how much they will benefit
thereby are seen through by everybody
and disliked so openly that only their
toadies fail to let them seesit.

The Length of Presidential Campaign
Cincinnati Enquirer.

ClnClnuau Enquirer.
Four months is not long for president
al campaign. Representatives in Con
gress are elected on the sane day Presi-
dent is chosen. Surely the people Of the
country can spare a little time through
four months for go important matter.
Whether the nominations shall be made
early or late, the usual time will be devot-
ed to presidential and congressional poll
tics next year. The excitement incident
to the nomination of candidates for Presi-
dent and Vice. President is as disturbing
as the actual presidential campaign. The
conventions have a settling effect. Usual
ly there is lull after the nominations are
made. Time is given for the wounds to
heal, and for those who swear with both
hands and feet that they will not vote for
the nominee to fall into line rather than
help the enemy, even by indifference.
There is always a great deal of fol.de-rol
about political contention disturbing bust
ness. Men who are never satisfed-who
always want to be making more money
let acquisitive imaginations run away with
them. Business men owe more tran they
usually allow to government, and govern
ment cannot be run without politics. A
long and exciting presidential campaign is
a good teacher in government.

if they will abandon the attempt to OPP

of which we conceded "the Republicans

among the live issues, in our humble judy
ment, the currency and the tariff issues,
and expressed the ouini on that these were
among the points on which the Republ'
cans were weak. These views have prompt
ed the esteemed Tazewell Republican TO
ask, "Can our brilliant contemporar'
think for a moment that the people oil
this country will put the Democratic party
in power to reform either our financial or
our tariff system?" We may be mistaken,
but that is exactly what we do think, pro

This they rnthlessly do. What with these
facts before them, and considering that
evils resultant from the long trial Of the
Republican party are steadily growing and
are recognized by men IN that party, who
are powerless to correct them, we are still
innocent enough to think that if the Dem
ocratic party will wipe out its platforms of
the last eight years, accept the gold
standard and foreign possession questions
as settled, and strike out boldly under
honest and intelligent leaders for tariff
