ATTENTION DEMOCRATIC CLUBS,

We direct your attention to the
call OF your county chairman in this
issue Of the Times. 1t is the duty Of
every true Democrat to join a club
and attend the meetings, cast his bal
lot for delegates to represent his club
In the county convention, and it is
the duty Of every delegate so elected
to attend the county convention. In
the organizations and meetings is the
beginning OF our county and State
politics; in these meetings the fever
OF enthusiasm and the awakening OF
interest in the welfare of the party is
begun, and with what feeling and zeal
you start the campaign will charac-
terize it throughout. A cold spirit
less meeting has the effect to chill
the warmest member and the fellow
who, by his absence from the club,
or by his pessimistic utterances
throws a damper on his brother mem
bers is like cold potato, will choke off
the more ardent supporters Of Demo
cratic principles.
It never fails that those who say
they don't care to bother with poll
tics, have no time to fool with your
club meetings or conventions are the
very first to kick and find fault when
poiitical matters don't go to suit
them. and say IL I had been there,
such and such .thing wouldn't have
happened. Now, such man is more
to blame for things going wrong than
any one else, because he not only
don't take part himself, but by his
example keeps other good men from
doing their duty to their party and to
their country. We know that there
are some persons who dislike politics
and to mingle is distasteful. Such
persons forget that politics Is the
science Of government, and IL politics
is corrupt and low they are somewhat
to blame by keeping out Of it instead
OF taking part and thereby make it
better, politics might then become
more reputable and political affairs
be carried on upon higher plane.
No man can lay claim to patriotism
or love OF his country who stands
aloof and shirks duty, his party,
people, or country call upon him to
Oft op1 fhia 10 q
duty he dare not neglect. We urge
all who call themselves Democrats to
attend, join the club, work in harmo-
ny to a man, shoulder to shoulder
with unbroken ranks. Let the Dem
ocratic wheel begin to roll without a
missing spoke, roll on and on without
losing single spoke. Democrats,
heed your country's call

HIGH PRICE OF BRRAbSTUFFs
AND OTHER EATABLES

We are daily confronted with the
psrplexing and annoying problem of
why the price Of breadstuffs, meats,
dairy and garden products and other
necessities Of life continue to com
mand and demand such high prices.
Dun's Review and Bradstreet report
that prices have reached "the high
est level in thirteen years, nothing
like it since 1891, the year Of the
Russian crop failure"
Bradstreet attributes the high
prices largely to sentimental influ-
ences Of the war between Russia and
Japan, and goes on to say "that the
idea Of its being sentimental is cor
raborated by Dun's reports which
points, out that Russia is actually ex-
porting more wheat than the United
States"
Dun's Review says: 1.-THE total
value OF breadstuifs sent abroad dur
ing March was only $l1, ,557 526, as
compared with $1S, ,34O,2 in Mar.h
of last year. 1t is necessary to go
back many years in order to find a
monthin which exports OF wheat
were as small as the 1,212,9I3 bush
els shipped in March, and even in
cluding fairly large outgo OF -four,
equivalent to>5, ,So5, ,184 bushels of
of wheat, the aggregate 81 7,O68, ,127
bushels was the smallest record of
recent years. ExpoftSsf corn. were
only 1850, $50 bushels against IT,
597 ,685 last year"
In view Of the above facts and fig
ures we are borne out in our conciu-
sions that the high prices now pre-
vailing are purely speculative.

1t is the fact that he cannot di |cuss

solution without alternating either the
voters upon whose sufirages he must
rely, or tho fiuanciers from whom

would be reflection upon the intelli-
gence of the party to think that it's
members could be brought to the
support of an aspirapt who only re-
fuses to give ntterance to his opinions
but places his campaign in the hands
Of men known to be hostile to thS in
terests and rights Of the common

The above appeared in tho columns
OF The Commoner," w. J. Bryan's
own paper. This has the ring of pet
~ spite; the fact that Judge Parkor
has remained silent when there was
DO necessity for talk, doubtless srg-
gests the painful truth to Mr.. Bryan,
that he, Bryan, talked at time when
silence would have been golden. The
assertion that Judge Parker has plac. q
his campaign in the hands OF nrv
man or set Of men is absurd, since the
political and personal friends Of Judge
Parker, have as is usually the case,
undertaken to manage. the campaign
for Judge Parker, without his having
placed the management in their
hands. That these men who have
undertaken the management are any
more hostile to the interest of the
common people than that Of tho B.y-
an campaign proved to be, is without
foundation in fact.

VERDICT FOR $4,000.

The verdict for $25 900 rendered by
o Greenville jury in the suit for dam
ages by Mrs. Franklin against the
Southern Railway Co. is in our hum
BILE judgment just what the Green
Vile Daily News says, perfectly
outrageous. Not being present at
the trial, our only means Of informa-
ton upon which to form an opinion
or conclusion, has been the accounts
published in the Greenville papers,
whose statements we must conclude
are correct. This verdict gives puni-
tive, and vindictive damages only, as
the testimony showed clearly that
the plaintiff had sustained neither
actual nor consequential damage.
That mental anguish statute has
opened wide the door for the practice
Of fraud by the INSCRIPTIONS, espec:
tally upon corporations, and the YER
dict In the Franklin case based upon
this statute has established a most
dangarogs precedent, and is unpre-
cedented in the history of,eiyil court
proceedings I'm This State.
- There was another suit against this
Railway Company tried at the same
term of court; this was brought by a
widow for the killing OF her husba I'D .
Verdict in this case was for the de-
fendant company; this showed the
temper Of the jury.
