It is financial impossibility for any
man to get rich honestly on salary Of
800 q year. "Where did they get its:'
Say, weren't the streets in nice shape
last Friday and Saturday? Those who
went to the opera house Friday night
no doubt enjoyed ~ trudging through the
mud and water in the dark.

Mr.. Jos. W. Stewart, who has been
travelling passenger agent of the seaboard
Air Line Railway, with headquarters in
Columbia, has resigned his position to
become manager of the Columbia Daily
i Record. We have a very pleasant &C.
uuaintance with Mr.. Stewart, and feel
glad at his connection with South Caro-
lima journalism.

d No newspaper possibly has positive
proof that the State board cf dispensary
directors have accepted rebates from
sHhiskey houses, but it is nevertheless
!: j fact that dispensary officials have sud-
denly and mysteriously amassed wealth
after getting these positions. We all
! know Of men who went into the dispen-
! asry poor but soon got rich. where did
/ they get it p

The solid South is worth something to
Democracy in the matter Of votes but some
/ politicians and newspapers Offset all this
sabya lot of fool talk. Some of such are
now letting off an accumulation of wind
son the subject of Roosevelt and square
deal fer, the South. It is folly to expect
anything at his hands, not even justice,
and there is no use or reason in discussing 6
him or his Southern policy.

A prominent business. man Of Augusta
& refused to sign an invitation asking Pres
ident Roosevelt to visit that city. he is
exactly right. His reason was that he
did not care to meet the president on
5 terms of social equality, and this should
3 Be the position of every Southern white
man. And yet some Southern cities arc
hantically endeavoring to induce him to
nay them a visit! 1t would serve them
exactly right if the president should come
and bring some of his negro friends along.

&c There is no likelihood of an extension
of the time for paying taxes this year.
Everybody appears to have money, and it
8 would seem to be folly to extend the time.
I'm fact extensions never do the poor man
any good. he goes and pays up in time,
sbntth rich man who has his moneyin use
win not pay as long as he can avoid it.
There never was greater humbug than
that of extending the time for paying tax
es in order to help the poor man. In
iact, the really poor man owns so little
that it is no great burden for him to pay
his taxes any time.

The Bamberg Herald proposes charging
one dollar for subscriptions paid in ad-
vance, and one dollar and half on time.
We are persuaded that our contemporary
will have lot of trouble in carrying this
rule ont. We tried it, and so we are not
speaking without experience.-Green-
wood Journal.
We do not expect to have much trouble.
You see, contemporary, at least seventy.
five per cent. or more of our subscribers
Spay in advance now. Those who want
.it on time will prefer to pay s1.oo in ad-
vance We are merely working to get
our list all paid in advance, and we think
the plan of charging higher price on
time mighty good way to get subscrib-
ers to pay cash.
