gewinR mt Night,

The best of all lights for sewing al
night is the good old time lamp, well
flled with kerosene oil, the well trim
med blaze covered by an opaque white
porcelain shade. Having settled the
question of light, use some judgment
In the selection OF the material on
which to sew. Black or other very
dark colors and red are particularly
trying to the eyes, AZ is material with
fine stripes or checks. Reserve such
goods for daylight work, and at night
work on white and delicate colors as
much as you can. BY right planning
the different colors can be made up
under the best light and thus save
much needless exhaustion.

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
InAcxinE Packages.

In the ordinary household there Is q
great waste OF tbse and nerve force in
looking up articles that have been pus
away In boxes or wrappers. al thfe
waste time and strength can be saved
by the use of numbers and an index
book. Get L fair sized book. On each
page paste number and letter, be-
ginning with the lowest and going up
in regular order until the book Is filed.
Have a little box Of corresponding
numbers. When box or package is to
be put away write list Of its con.
tents under one Of the numbers and
paste corresponding number on the
package. When an article is wanted
look 1t up under the letter and num-
Der, and You can put your hand apon
It at once. Calendars will supply the
numbers and the newspapers the large
letters.

SAVE US FROM OUR FRIENDS,

Governor Lanham, 4 brother
of Hon. J. G. Lanham OF sum
merton. has been renomlnateo
governor of Texas. In the same
convention which renominated
Governor Lanham, Ex-Governor
Rogg made a speech in which he
took occasion to speak a kind
word for President Roosevelt,
and denounced the methods
adopted to nominate Parker, at
the same time saying he would
support the Democratic ticket.
\ number of newpapers are
severely criticizing Governor
Hogg for speaking his mind so
plainly, they say his support is a
mockery, and intimate strongly
that he does not want Parker
elected. We think the conduct
of both Ex-Governor Hogg and
Col. w. J. Bryan, inexcusable.
If these two men who have been
the recipients OF exalted honors
from their party are gong to
give that party support: it is a
most arrant hypocrisy to be
saying that Parker is ''the tool
of Wall street" or that 1.-The
Trusts bought his nomination
for him. and other expressions
which are calculated to drive
away honest Democratic votes in
States where the party must get
them if victory is wanted.
Colonel Bryan through Mr..
Wall has rendered his services
to the National Democratic com
mittee, but if Tom Taggart is
the shrewd politician he is reput-
ed to be, the offer will not be ac-
cepted, or if it is, Billy Bryan
will be confined to the State Of
Nebraska where hemight induce
enough Republicans to join with
the Populists to elect coalition
legislature, and thereby send
Bryan to the Senate. We hard
ly think the Democratic commit
tee will take chances with Col.
Bryan to send him to Indiana,
Illinois, Connecticut, Delaware,
or New Jersey. He might IN
his eloquent denunciation of
monopolies confess that Parker's
nomination was secured by these
influences. and that Roosevelt is
as much of a Democrat as Par
ker. Bryan of Nebraska, and
Hogg of Texas Notwithstanding
their promises to support the
ticket, will serve the party more
faithfully this year if they will
take a trip to Europe, or 60 into
retirement altogether.

the party simply means political
ostracism and no one but an in
sane creature would offer before
the Democratic voters on any
other but the platform adopted
by the party. Instead then OF
filing up the time in proving
loyalty to the party, it is more
profitable in leaving that matter
to States where the people are
not one way Of acting, and dis
cuss such things as come nigh
home to US, that tend to improve
our roads, our schools, our local
government without burdenlng

NO SOCIAL EQUALITY.

The platform of an Anderson
county candidate for the legisla-
ture, is to provide separate &C
commodations for white and
negro convicts in jails, chain
gangs and the penitentiary.
This is carrying the social ques-
ton to an extent heretofore un
thought of, and IN the hill sec
tions Of that county it might be
a popular demand. II a white
man steals a hog and is convict
ed, it would be very humiliating
to him to be forced to work on
the chaingang beside a ''nlgger"
who helped him steal the hog.
If white man is convicted Of
burning his neighbors barn, it
would be a social outrage for
the law to conine him in the
penitentiary by the side of a
s'nigger" accomplice in the
crime, and should a white man
and :'a niger" be convicted Of
some diabolical murder, the
law should have higher regard
for our social status, than to
swing these two fends from the
same gallows. The Anderson
statesman who conceived the
brilliant idea of preventing social
equality among convicts, should
not content himself with the
State legislature, Congress is
where his services are needed,
where "Jim Grow" legislation
can do the whole country good.
Our present political method is
calculated to conceive just such
a breed of lawmakers, and too,
the racial prejudice with some
people is so great that a loud
mouthed demagogue can win
votes with just such clap-trap.
He goes forth among the people
and tells them a yarn, how "a
Door white man unable to en-
ploy a lawyer was convicted and
is forced to work side by side
with a negro, eat the same kind
of food and is treated the same
as the negro" but if he is elect
ed to the legislature he will
make a law which will require
the authorities to put white con-
victs to guard and superintend,
and make ''the niggers'' wait
upon them. He will be designat-
ed as 'sthe white mans friend"
and many a vote will be polled
for him.

GIVE US SOMETHING FRESH.

There is hardly any need for
US to discuss National issues IN
these columns, as we all are COM
mitted to the action of the party
convention, and it matters but
very little whether we are in ac-
cord with the Parker, or the
Bryan methods, the edict has
gone forth, and there is nothing
to be done but to obey the party
behests. Therefore when we
hear a man in this State profess
ing loyalty to the Democratic
party, it reminds US Of a fellow
who was working a swindling
graft in a religious community
while a revival was going on. He
went about among the good pious
people exclaiming, :I've got re-
Iigion and don't care who knows
it," In a short while several of
the most sanctifed were duped
by this loud mouthed professor,
and when too late, one Of the
duped ones approached another
brother il distress and said IF
that that stranger does not return to
me what he swindled me out of:
he'll be damned" to which his
comrade replied with some little
heat brother if you are fool
enough to look for that chap to
come back, then I'll be damned. "
And so it is, what in the name OF
sense is the use of protesting our
political loyalty when every man
with a thimbleful of sense knows
that disobedience to the edicts of

We have received a copy of

published at Nashville. Tenn,
with our attention requested to
a long article written by Dr.. G..
c.. Brown of Sumter. The ar
ticle is entitled "The Science Of
Wire pulling" It is written in a
semi humorous vein. and evl.
IDENTIFY intended to satarize some
of Mr.. Browns opponents in the
Baptist church. The article is
too long for US to reproduce,
even were we inclined to do so,
and as there are several denomi-
national papers in this State, we
think it more proper for them to
repuolish it. We do not care to
get entangled in any denomina-
tional controversies.
