"Sane and DANGEROUS.

When Judge Parker was nominated
one of the cabinet officers said that the
Democratic party was "sane and dan
gerous." In warfare one should never
dowhat theenemy desires. The Repub-
licans are hoping for the quarrel to
keep up between the two wings of the
Democratic party. Who ever foments
such strife, indirectly, ls an enemy OF
his party. In South Carolina the vote
will 90 for Parker and Davis. While
there is no necessity for any exhorta-
ton to Democrats to vote the ticket
our voters should be well informed as
to the issues of the campaign, 30 that
they may vote intelligently and always
be ready to give reason for the faith
that is in us. Let us prove to our
friends, the enemy, that we are sane.
Then let not our men 60 about the
country with their heads down, &C
knowledging that they are whipped
before the battle is joined. No one
ever gained a victory unless he went
into the fight believing that be would
come off victorious. Let us in a most
earnest and dignified manner submit
able and convincing arguments and
show that we are also dangerous.
With no oquarreling amongst ourselves,
with q plain statement of the short
comings, and especially the far reach
ings of the other party and united
front at the ballot box we may de-.
monstrate that we are both sane and
dangerous.

I 3, 1904. ESTABLISHED 1914
A City OF working Girls.
Milwaukee Sentinel.

"Speaking about working girls, there
is no city in this country and possibly
not in the world that for its size, can
beat Jackson, Mich.," remarked Oscar
A. Foster to group of travelling men
who were discussing the subject of fe'
male employment.
IA woman suffragist could make q
success os6 in that town. Recently 8
newspaper of our city took census OF
girls who roomed and found that the
number exceeded 1000. Add to this
the many hundreds who live with
their parents and you will appreciate
better what I mean to say. These girls
are employed in the corset and under
wear factories of Jackson, which are
by far the largest in the world. They
are happy lot and it certainly Is q
sight to watch them coming out Of the
factories when their days work is done:
The streets in the evening are 80 crowd
ed with these working girls who prom
enade up and down Main street that
mere man sinks into insignificance."

Watson. Mr.. Watson has just return.
ed from a visit to Horny county and
while there went over tract of go, 900
acres of the most desirable land in the
State. The land was personally in
spected by him, and as result there
will be in a few weeks q colony of
about thousand families or Scandi-
navians settled there as soon as the f.
nal arrangements are closed up.
While there Mr.. Watson visited the
Homewood colony, which has been
such a conspicuous success, and on
the plans followed by this settlement
the new colony will be conducted.
The settlement will be devoted to
truck farming principally and all kinds
of truck for the northern markets can
be raised on the land and shipped. At
Cladburn, a short distance over the
North Carolina line, the Armours for

The Scandanavians are a most desi-

years, and it is stated that this is but

colonies of which announcement will

Presidential Chances.
Boston Traveller (Ind.)

We are not surprised that the Re-
publican leaders are showing unmis-
taxable signs of panic. The conf
dent feeling that appeared to rule be-
fore the Democratic convention ap-
pears to have taken wings to itself
and flown away. The campaign plans
are being reconstructed, it is announc-
ed, and herculean efforts are to be put
forth in an effort to save the day
The Republicans had counted noses
too early. They relied upon New
York, Indiana, New Jersey and Con-
necticut as practically sure for their
candidates, but the firm stand taken
by Judge Parker on the monentary
question has swept these five states
into the extremely doubtful column.
Before the Parker nomination Mary
land and West Virginia, with their
fifteen electoral votes, were placed in
the doubtful column. The Republi-
cans now concede these states to
Parker.
New Jersey, three times carried by
Grover Cleveland, is regarded as
pretty safe for Parker, and the same
opinion is held of Connecticut. This
situation presents this apportionment
Of the states:
Observation-Disclosures, II; Arkan-
sas, 8; Florida, 5; Georgia, l3;
Kentuck Ky, 13; Louisina, 8; Mississ-
! ippi, 10; Missoury, IS; North Car
olina, II; South Carolina, 8; Tenn
e-see, y; Texas, 1S; Virginia, -;
Maryland, 8; West Virginia, 7;
Colorado, 5; Idaho, 8; Nevada, 3.
Total, 1T.
Observation-Disclosures, 10; Dele
ware, 3; lava, Is; Kansas, 10; Maine,
6; Massachusetts,, 16; Michigan, IA ;
Minnesota, IL; Montana, 8; Nebraska,

Oregon, 4; Pennsylvania, "a Rhode
Island, 4; South Dakote, 4; Utah, 3;
Vermont, 4; Washington, 5; Wyo-
ming, 3; North Dakota, 4. Total, 1856.
In Doubt-Connecticut, 7; New
York, 80; Illinois, 27; Indiana, IS;
Wisconsin, 13; New Jersey, II. Total,
113.
Of the 476 members of the electoral
college the winning candidate must
have the votes of 239. On this basis it
will be seen that the Democrats are
in magnificent position Tor victory.
II is of interest in this connection to
recall former votes. In 1880 Garfield
had 214 electoral votes, against l55 for
Hancock in 1884 Cleveland received
PIG, Blaine 1872; Cleveland in 1888 re-
ceived 16S votes, Harrison 233; Cleve-
land in 1892 received 277 votes, against
145 for Harrison. Mckinley received
271 in 1896, while Bryan had 176. In
1900 McKinley's vote was 292, and
Bryan's 155. Tilden carried New
York in 1876 and Cleveland carried
it in 1884 and 1892. Wisconsin, Hi
nois and Indiana went Democratic in
1892. But greatest of all signs is thai
which lies from Republican dissatis
factionwith President Roosevelt anc

by his own stalwartness, has aroused

Parker Will Carry wisconsin.

E. C. Wall in Milwaukee Daily News.
In an interview yesterday Edward
G. Wall again repeated his firm belief
that Wisconsin would be carried by
Judge Alton B. Parker this fall. Mr..
Wallis statement on the situation was
as follows:
"Ibelieve Judge Parker will be elect
ed president. I still think as l did
when sent him my telegram after
his nomination that he has reasona-
BILE chance of carrying Wisconsin for
the Democratic party. I have seen
nothing since that time to make me
change my mind. Judge Parker did
the manly thihs in coming out boldly
for sound money. ANY one who has
followed my political career knows
what my views are and that have al
ways stood for sound money. Judge
Parker will make q safe executive.
The country will be safe in his hands,
and steps he will take will be in the
right direction. =.
1'In regard to the platform, it is
quite remarkable that the party was
able to form one which appears TO be
generally good out ofsuch diversity
of opinion as existed among the de-
legates to the national convention held
at st. Louis. But I think the fight
will not be on platforms, but on Roose-
velt as man. he is the Hamilton
style of political leader as opposed to
the ideal leade~ ! the Jefferson type,
which is my zeal. Roosevelt would
make typical head for an empire and
wonderful improvement on the czar
of Russia"

Woman's Leap Year Privilege.

The question is often asked, "Why
is it women are permitted to propose
during leap year?" Never having ex-
perienced the pleasure of such a pro-
position from maiden, contides the
editor of the Easley Progress, we are
unable to explain her privilege during
leap year, but here is an answer. given
in contemporary.
"It appears that in the year 1888, a
statute was published by the Scotch
Parliament ordaining that during the
reign of "Her Maist Blessitt Marjisty
Margaret " every maiden or lady of
high or low estate should have liberty
to speak to the man she liked. If he
refused to take her to be his wife, she
would have the privilege of fining
him 100 pounds or less, according to
his estate, unless he should make it ap-
pear that he was betrothed to another
woman, in which case he would be
free to refuse. After the death of Mar
garet, the women Of Scotland became
clamorous for their privileges, and
to appease them another act of Par
lament allowed them to propose every
fourth year."

Sunny Slope Picnic.

The following appeared in lasqweeks Issue
Of the paper and as We overlooked reading
be proof there were errors in 1t which made
II uninteligible in places. We reproduce
from the original copy:
The annual picnic at Sunny Slope as usual,
passed of most pleasantly, deapite the fact
that 1t raiDed during the greater part Of the
morning. Various estimates put the num-
Der present close around fifteen hundred
which we think Is not far from the mark.
Delightful refreshments served from stands
erected on the grounds, q brass band, splen.
did picnic dinner and pretty women were
such attractions as set at nought the incle-
ment weather.
The picnic grounds lie in front Of the
residence Of Capt. Robt Pratt; and that anoth-
or success has been scored, Is due in large
N easure to hisssfas;,s In looking after the
comfort and enjoy aaent OF those present. =

with pleasure to this day Of enjoyment with
the hospitable peopleiof the Level Land and

that we should be careful not t.
neglect the orphans of our own peo
