Their Points of Superiority Over tho
Long Trousers.
The long trouser has every fault
which it is possible to combine IN q

which is not true of the knickerbocker.
r you turn up the trouser, then you
create horizontal crease, which is just
as bad as the rubbing OF the edge. A
band Of leather does not really save
the trouser from attrition against the
boot.
Then consider the knees. No amounr
Of pressing or stretching Will really
save pair Of trousers from becoming
baggy at this singularly inopportune
joint. The man who is true to MS
trousers must never sit and must new
er run. Only by standing still or at
most walking slowly can he preserve
the contour Of his costume.
Here again knickerbockers solve the
problem. The chief beauty of knieker'
bockers is that they are baggy at the
knees. Their virtue Is the trousers

The Wilson Railroad for Manning.

=! Our readers will remember in our
last issue, we suggested that efforts be
he made to induce President Wilson OF
the North Western Railroad to bring
that road to Manning. Mayor Bradham
and others agreed with the suggestion,
and they knowing that The TINES
editor and Captain Wilson are personal
friends of long standing, requested him
to interview Captain Wilson on the
subject. Captain Wilson spent the
past week in Manning, engaged in at.
tending court, and in trying to defend
his railroad interests from damage
suits, and under ordinary conditions
this would have been an excellent OPP
portunity to bring him and the busl-
ness interests of Manning together, for
we know from an intimate acqualnt-
ance with Captain Wilson that he has
always entertained kind feeling for
this town and county, and naturally
so, because he is one OF the
largest taxpayers ir the county
and was formerly a resident of it. but
Captain Wilson is like most all men
who, when they feel they have not been
Justly dealt with, are not going TO run
pell nell over themselves to do tarors
for men or communities that manifest
an antagonistic spirit, and he feels that
such spirit was manifested towards
him in the railroad cases, more especl-
ally the case where mis- agent at Davis
Station resented an insult from a negro.
We approached Captain Wilson on
the subject of bringing his road here,
and, unfortunately, we found him in no
humor to give any encouragement
70 our argument from his con-
sideration. the man was indignant
at what he regarded unjust treatment
he received in our court, and did not
hesitate to express his opinion OF what
he calls s'the pull, and wire-pulling sys-
ten" in this county. 1t did not take
US long 20 learn that this was no time
to impress an argument for railroad
to Manning on Captain Wilson, never
theless, we endeavored to lay before
him the advantages Manning had to
offer his road, and that in our opinion,
| it was to the mutual Interests OF MS
road and this town for the road to come
here, and that because of the acts OF a
few he should not punish himself and
the town. Captain Wilson's reply was,
ssI realize all that you say IS true, and
I admire your zeal in behalf OF your
town. I like to see men stand by their
towns: it is such a spirit that IS fast
making the town of Summerton ousi-
ness center for this county, and 1t is
such spirit which has made, and con.
tinues to add growth to the city OF

= little study of the bank statements
of the Bank OF Summerton and the
Bank of Clarendon in our last weeks
issue, and the statement of the Bank Of
Manning in this issue, will convince
the most pessimistic that Clarendon
county has, within the past few years,
made wonderful progress OF recent
years. All three banks have made
money. and have done much good. The
Bank of Manning is the Oldest in the
county, and therefore the largest,
which is shown by the tremendous de-
posts, and the column of business done
by that institution. The fact that
since the other two banks have been
organized, the Bank of Manning mas
increased its business which speaks
well for its management.

A Healthy Financial Condition.

With all the excitement In the caIl-money
market during the past few weeks there
has been no suggestion of panic, and no
reason for any apprehension as to the flu
ture. The stock market has occasionally
felt the effect of the money stringency, one
or two periods of liquidation having re-
suited from sudden advances In the inter-
est rate. This has been caused in some
part by the desire to obtain cash for use
in more remunerative operations in the
loaning of money while the rate was high
and partly by the calling in of loans to
spectators, who have been forced to
realize on their holdings to meet these
demands. But at no time has there been
any sign of a real softening of the stock
market. such as might IL continued for a
considerable period. undermine the founda-
lions of the investment basis.
The Secretary OF the Treasury has resist
ed all appeals TO relieve the money market,
and his refusal is. it is believed, now justf-
fed by an appreoiable lessening of the
strain Each autumn there is a steady
tightening of the rates for call loans The
banks are disposed to nurse their balances.

Massachusetts at the White House.

Curtis Guild should drop the junior from
his name. 1t gives an erroneous impress
sion. He cannot be so young. Observe the
neat way--the old foxy way-in which he
forestalled the Douglas delegation at the
White House. He was there by letter be-
fore them, and made a stronger presenta-
ton of the question at issue. Read his let
ter to the President, and note how frankly
he puts the case. He favors free hides,
but that does not measure the tariff ques-
ton as he sees 1t. Along with free hides
he wants some other things, and looks to
the republican party for them.
Observe also how clever the calculation
which brings this letter to light. Appear
ing, as it does, as part Of the story CIV
ing the particulars of the Douglas dele
cations call at the White House, 1t be-
comes the star feature of the story, ana
leaves OF interest to the rest only the fact
that the President paid his compliments
very pointedly to Henry NJ. Whitney, and
conferred with the delegation in the pres
ence of a stenographer. Upon the whole
1t was a great day for the bay state at
the capital of our beloved country.
The President heard the Douglas people
and took the papers. He was not to be
expected to do more. He is to give his
views 10 congress IN a fortnight Oh tllS
general state of the country, and Massa-
chusetts was entitled to nothing in ad-
vance of the message. That the message
will contain a paragraph on the tariff ques-
ton seems likely, although some tacticlans
hold that a later day and special mes
sage would be better This view is founded
on the Importance that attaches to the
railroad rate problem, and the contention
that Congress should not be overloaded at
the start.
This sentence from Governor-elect Guilds
letter is full of meat:
The republican ticket in my Judgment
would have been Overwhelmingly defeated
if our platform, on which both Mr.. Draper
and | stood had not contained a plank IN
dorsing the position taken last spring by
our delegation in Congress favoring imme-
date tariff revision"
And yet the standpatters can see no
reason for any change in the tariff sched-
ules at this time. Where is there any COM
plant? they ask. Why disturb business
when everybody is so we'll off and every
thing is humming? Beware of the the
orists. And here in the heart of practical
hsrd-headed, Ievel-headed New England,
the home of protection and prosperity. the
people of both parties want tariff revision,
and want it now.

Jerome and the Future.

There Is some talk of Mr.. Jerome for gov
ernor of New York next year. Mr.. McClel-
Ian Is out Of the calculation. and the field
at present shows no politician of any conse-
uuerce available for the democracy in what
may prove a very important race. Hence
the question. why not nominate the man
who in other than political field has DEM
oustrated such exceptional popularity and
campaigning power? Put him up for gov
ernor next year. and if he wins that race put
him up for President in 1908 and let the
voters express themselves as to a demo-
cratic Roosevelt for the White House.
There are two objections to this. The
first is that the duties of district attorney
for New York will be very important for
the next few years. and no man could hope
TO discharge them quite so satisfactorily to
the public as Mr.. Jerome. This, of course.
is not to say that he is the ablest lawyer
at that bar. or the only entirely honest one.
But his record in the Office has brought him
such prestige, and the situation at present
is so peculiar, he is thought TO be the one
man above all others to go on with the
work of the Office And then, while no
promise was eXaCted of him. as in the case
. of Mr.. Mcclellan and the mayoralty there
was no other thought during the campaign
than that if elected he would serve full
term.
The second objection to the proposition
is that the qualities and methods which Mr.
Jerome so highly capitalized in the county
campaign would not work in a state cam
paign He is a democrat, and would have
to run as the democratic candidate for gov
ernor, and be dependent on the activity of
the democratic organization for support
What would Tammany do? Fight him for
the nomination, and If defeated there, sulk
or knife in the campaign. The Tammany-
lite Is a real Indian when it comes to treas
urtng up the memory Of an injury and tax.
ing revenge at the first opportunity, and
Mr.. Jerome will long linger in the minds
of the braves In the circumstances he
would probably be very weak candidate
for governor. So soon after helping to lay
out Tammany, in turn he would be certain
TO feel Tammany's displeasure in a state
race.
The best friends of Mr. Jerome are those
who hope TO see him remain In his present
Office and meet, as they believe he WILL
all of the fiattering expectations of the
public. not only Of New York, but of the
whole country. He Is young enough to
wait for the higher places if he is political
iy ambitious.

and 1t IS expected that there VIII soon be
a steady outflow of cash to meet the de-
mands for call money, and consequent
drop in the interest rate. Meanwhile the
rate on term loans has remained virtually
unaffected by the somewhat sensational
advance In call rates.
The steadiness of the stock market, de-
spite the disturbing influence of the money
market has been accepted as s'gn OF the
substantial prosperity OF the country and
the wholesome condition of the securities
Of all kinds. Had there been a large bulk
of "undigested securities awaiting pur-
chasers this temporary money stringency
could have had no other effect than long
series of sharply spasmodic drops. But
with every selling movement, occasoned
by a new jump in the call-money rates,
there has been a ready buying tendency,
and this whole incident has been accom-
nenied. indeed, by unmistakable signs OF q
sturdy spirit Of investment rather than OF
speculation.
There Is indeed, no reason to apprehend
market troubles for a long time to come.
The enormous crops harvested during the
past summer have yielded heavy profits TO
farmers and railroads and retailers ana
middlemen There Is an abundance OF
money now seeking investment. The banks
are all in good condition Trade balances
are favorable. There is no outflow OF goio
and there are no conditions at home threat
ening any sudden failure Of public conf
dence In these circumstances the outlook
is indeed favorable for a good year.

State Rights and National Duties.

At the convention held in Chattanooga
last week to consider the questions of ma
tional quarantine and southern immigration
Gov Vardaman of Mississippi was the only
delegate who stood upon the old ground of
state rights. The delegates were all south
ern men of high position. all democrats, and
thoroughly representative of their party
and section. All, with the single exception
Of Gov. Vardaman, pronounced in favor of
national control in the matter of quaran-
tine and when the subject comes up In Con-
gress the influence of the south Will be ex-
erted in behalf of legislation to that end.
1t seems likely, too, that the south viii
vote I'm Congress in favor of establishing
national rate-making power in the contro-
versy about transportation. Last spring the
railroads thought the south a fine field for
missionary work. and sought to cultivate it
by references TO the dangers of strongly
centralized government Beware of lodging
too much power In Washington. Have
care lest state lines in all of the higher
things disappear altogether 1t was report
ed that orders had gone out from New York
to fire the southern heart on this point and
ring all possible changes on 1t.
II those orders were executed the pro-
gram was misconceived The southern
members of Congress are talking In any
thing but railroad strain. There Is every
promise, indeed, that when the subject
comes up they will he found on the side of
ratc-making by the national government i'll
all cases where complaint is made of ex-
tortiou by the railroads. The state rights
bugaboo, the threatened annulment of the
Jim Crow car laws, both have failed to
work any fear in the minds and hearts of
the southern politicians on this subject.
As matter of fact, however, the old
shlbbOleth of state rights has for years
been losing It's force. 1t was always a
vague term, twisted and turned by agile
reasoners to serve different purposes, like
the general welfare clause Of the Consti-
tuition. As Judge CulbersOn of Texas said
