De Boer won't be governor Of Vermont
this year-perhaps he never will fool
around with a candidacy. but the De
Boer idea and the De Boer gang will
handle more than 1872 votes in the next

The Time to Sow Wheat.

Wheat is a biennial plant in that 1t
requires the fall of one year to make
roots and the spring Of another year to
make grain. II you SOW too late for
proper root development then you will
be apt to have a light crop Of grain.
The longer the fall period for root
growth the stronger the plant will be,
and the crop will be heavier. There
will be less danger from rust. So II
one could SOW wheat in September 1t
would seem advisable to do so. But
there are two difficulties in the way.
The Hessian fly is pretty sure to get
wheat sown in September. And II we
have mild open fall, as we frequent
" do. the wheat begins to joint and
prepare for heading before very cold
weather.
For4hese reasons October is decided
" the time to SOW wheat We have
never failed to make crop sown
properly in October. II we begin in
time and prepare thoroughly and sow
in October and roll the land well after
breaking and narrowing We will never
fail on wheat.
About nitrate as topdressing, we
are strong advocates for that. Sow
hundred pounds nitrate Of soda per
acre as soon as the wheat covers the
ground or would hide rabbit. This
generally greatly increases the yield.
The same is true Of oats or barley. Nj
trate acts very promptly and should
not be put OF until the crop Is well ad-
vanced. Other fertilizers are too slow
for topdressing wheat.-Southern Gull

..Ihe Ayeras se Teacher"

In speaking of the article We pub
lished last week under the caption
Cruelty in Schools" the Newberry
Observer says the Abbeville Medium
draws doleful picture of the average
teacher and of the miserable life
led by the children committed to her
care. The basis Of the Mediums pic
ture is what a young woman OF Oco-
nee county is alleged to have seen in
some schoolrooms No doubt if the
teachers referred to were heard from
there would be quite different story.
There are lots Of people who complain
about cruel enthusiastically they
are parents with badly-spoiled children
who have never been controlled at
home and do not wish to submit to
authority at school. But, really, the
Mediums charges against teachers are
so grossly exaggerated and so unjust
that they do not deserve serious con-
sideration. Taken as a class, almost
without exception, there are no peo-
pie on earth who perform their duty
more faithfully or more efficiently
than teachers-the large majority OF
whom are women Of the highest char
acter and intelligence. While We
believe there are some teachers, so.
called, that the Mediums article hts,
we are glad to say that our experience
with teachers Of both sexes leads us to
endorse, without reserve, what Editor
Wallace says above. He is an accom-
plished gentleman, who has had many
years experience as a teacher, and
what he says about teachers is entitled
TO consideration.

Bryan's Veto Rights.

A Washington dispatch to The New
York Herald says Of the Democratic
outlook as to Presidential candidate
next year: Mr.. Bryan intends to ex-
ercise the absolute veto power over
the nominee party. He feels that be
will be able to prevent the election Of
any candidate whom he does not en-
dorse. He therefore has decided to
oppose all candidates who represent
the element that knitted him at the
polls in 1896 and 1900. In this cata-
cory be includes Judge Parker, Sena-
tor German, Mr.. Cleveland, Mr.. Olney
and David B. Hill. He would proba-
bly, also include Judge Gary OF Della
ware The Charleston Post con-
strues this to mean that Mr.. Bryan
will not approve tie nomination Of
any man who has the slightest chance
to win the election, and says: But
this right OF veto, whence and how
comes Mr.. Bryan to possess it," We
are surprised that so well informed pa
per as The Post should ask such
question. 1t is conceded by bis bit
terest enemies that Mr.. Bryan has
the largest following OF any ore man
in the United States, and no ticket

To Tax Franchises.

Mr.. w. J. johnson of Fairfield has
presented a bill to tax franchises
which will be given considerable atten-
tion in the house. The measure pro-
vides that every corporation must
make an annual return to the secre-
tary Of state, giving the names of the
officers, amount of capital, place of
business number Of shares and kinds
of stock. Every such cooperation is
expected to pay to the secretary OF
state one mill on every dollar Of
capitalization The bill is modelled
after the Ohio law. The revenue
thus obtained in Ohio is enormous
and the State Of New York gets 3d.
900. 600 annually from the franchise
tax. On a corporation of $1,000, 600
capitalization the income would be
81, 900: but due to the difficulties in
The way OF organizing cotton mills in
this State, the bill proposes to let
such industries of upon the payment
Of $40 annually.

Hampton's Monument.

Among the new measures introduc-
ed in the House of Representatives on
Wednesday was one by Mr.. Richards
Of KerShaw to appropriate a sum suhi.
cient to bring the Hampton monu-
ment fund up to $4,000. The legis-
lature last year appropriated 1000
for the equestrian statue, and the peo-
pie Of the State were expected to con-
tribute $4,000. A commission was
appointed and. these gentlemen have
made repeated srequests for all socie-
ties to turn in money contributed but
the appeals have been disregarded to
such an extent that it is impossible to
tell just how much has been given for
the erection Of the monument. The
commission has heard in an informal
way of hundreds Of dollars scattered
around over the State and those in
charge locally have made no report.
The people outside Of South Carolina
are looking to see the State make
proper acknowledgement of the SER
vice Of Hampton the man and Hamp-
ton the exponent Of the men who
were loyol to a great cause. Mr.. Rich

that the meeting proceeded without

nominated by the Democrats can be
elected unless II receives his support.
The only exception to this Is Cleve-
land. Should be be nominated, he
would split the Republican party IN
two. have all the Doodle OF the trusts
at bis command, and win, because the
boodlers, who are bolding up the peo-
pie Of the country, would prefer him
to Roosevelt. But Cleveland is no
Democrat, and his election would be
a boodler's victory and not Demo
cratic victory. Mr.. Bryan's influence
is among real Democrats, and We are
glad to believe that there are millions
Of them in this country. These real
Democrats claim the same right to
follow their leader, and vote against
the nominee if be does not represent
their views, as The Post did in the
last two presidential campaigns, and
they will do it. In doing so they
simply follow the example set them
by the very men who are now anxious
for them to maintain party discipline
and vote the straight ticket, provided
OF course it is composed OF men who
knitted the Democratic ticket In 1896
and In 1900.

The State Out ofDebt.

The reports Of the fiscal officers Of
the State for the past year will he in
the nature of a surprise to the gener-
al public, for instead Of a deficit a
small surplus, something in the neigh
borhood of $50, 900, will be shown. 1t
is explained that this Surplus is due
to the money Senator Tillman obtain
ed from the United States on account
Of Indian aud other claims. That
sum will rot be available again tn S
wear in counting the recipients, but il
is expected that increased valuation
of property and increased receipts
from other sources will place the State
on a cash basis. This is probable.
even if nothing is done in the way OF
tax reform, and there will be nuner-
Gus schemes on that line to come be-
fore the legislature.

a SAD CASE
That .CameIJp sLast~ Week in the
United States Court.

The Columbia State saysa peculiar
iy sad case is that OF T. A. Bateman,
formerly OF Columbia, who pleaded
guilty OF impersonating United
States official and collecting money on
such Misrepresentation. Bateran's
mind is said to he undermined by dis
ease. His first departure from paths
of rectitude was in Charleston where
it is alleged he canvassed the the igno-
rant illicit whiSkey sellers, represent
ing himself as an officers Of the United
States, and threatened his victims
with arrest. The Illicit dealers, it is
said, would offer money compromise
which was Bateman's sole motive and
always accepted.
Bateman was tried at Charleston %
one Of these counts in the United
States court in 1902 and was acquit.
ted. Later ne came to Columbia and
worked the scheme with some success
among negro blind tigers for a short
while, but was detected for a fraud by
a wary white alleged tiger-operator
who had him arrested Bateman has
lain in Richland county jail for six
months and his physician testified
that his malady caused him intense
suffering.
Thursday before Judge Brawly be
pleaded guilty and begged for mercy,
reciting to the court bis terrible men
tai and physical experience. The SEN
tence was one year in the government
prison at Atlanta, Ga. This is not a
hardship but blessing to Batenan
as the court ordered the prisoner
transferred to the government hos
pital for treatment.

a SAD STORY.
Dark Shadow on the Once Happy
Home of LaWrence COpcIand

Home Of Lawrence Copeland.
A case full of sadness and pathos.
picturing the cid, old story yet ever
fresh with heart interest and human
interest, OF whiskey bringing dis
honor and shame and want to blaeken
and blast and disrupt once happy
home full Of sunshine and hope and
gladneSs, was that in the federal
court Tuesday against Lawrence L.
Copeland, a handsome and well-dress-
ed young man whose features and
bearing and language stamped him as
having been reared in refinement and
culture. He pleaded guilty to en-
bezzling s935 Of government funds
while postmaster at kershaW. In
entering his plea and throwing him
self on the mercy OF the court Nj.
Copeland said that this was his hrst
experience as an offender Of the law
but that he had only himself to
blame. as be had allowed whisky to
get the better OF him. He said that
he bad spent the money for whiskeY,
and that that was all there was to L.,
but that he hoped the court would
remember him as mercifully as posi-
Bile on account of his young wife and
little child, Of whom be was the sole
dependence for a living. He hoped
after serving his sentence to begin bis
life over and thought he would be abe
to be man and give his family the
support they needed. Sadness ard
repentance and remorse were written
on his face, but it was all pathetically
mixed with sort Of dignity, both Of
bearing and tone of voice. There WIS
no cringing or tear-shedding. Mrs.
Copeland, a pretty little woman who
has probably suffered intensely on ac-
count Of her husbands weakness, but
who is said to have borne her troubles
with that patience and unfaltering
courage and devotion that makes a
true woman great, occupied seat
within the bar. She bore the ordeal
bravely while her husband was enter
ing his plea which published bis
shame to the world. but the tears
came freely when Judge Brawley SEN
fenced Copeland to two years in the
Atlanta prison, and as the bailiffs led
him out Of the court room she follow
with her handkerchief to her eyes.
There was also a fine of 1895 imposed,
but no effect attaches this, inaSmuch
as Copeland has run through with all
Of his property. An officer Of the
court who has investigated the case
said that Copeland probably used
little Of the missing money, that be
was not in his right mind en- account
of drinking for many months before
his arrest, that he had his Office in a
a badly mussed condition when it was
Investigated. He would often 90 out
without his hat, and would be found
wandering about aimlessly.-T b e
