AT last, &c, the trained eye there appeared
far in the distance a cloud of dust on the

After the high swing Billy was given the

And then they literally crawl.

The Blind Mouse.

One day while sitting under a shady
maple tree by the roadside reading book
the soft rustling sound made by the wind
blowing through a field of tasseled wheat
caused me to look up. To my great surprise
/ saw two large field mice slowly crossing
the road to the wheat field.
One mouse had his eyes tightly closed and
seemed totally blind, while the other mouse
was cautiously leading him along by a
small stick which they both held In their
mouths.

all powerful, with the result that
political thought and speech is
moulded by the leader in charge.
This condition does not suit a
proud and intelligent people,
their very blood chills at the
thought Of having their birth
right censored by men in their
own interests. In this condi-
ton no man can assert himself
politically without his views re-
ceive the label of approval OF a
coterie of political place-hunters
who are controlled by one indi-
vidual. If a South Carolinian,
by hard study and a heart full
patriotism should discover 4
plan for the betterment OF the
peoples condition, and that plan
was likely to shake the throne
of the political king, the small
coterie would at once proclaim
1t hereSy: ana drive the heretlc
out of the party-let a patriot
with ability advance an idea not
made for him by the ring and
he is mathematical, slandered
and pronounced a Republican,
and it is because of this condl :
ton, that unscrupulous politl-
clans hold their grip on the
machine: resort to very deSrad-
ing practices to succeed. They
have slandered, bribed, debauch-
ed, and stuffed ballot boxes or
had it done, and the bill of the
Aiken delegation seeks to put a
stop to this. If the bill becomes
a law and the law is enforced,
the day for men Of bad char
acter in our Offices of honor, and
trust is over, and God speed the
day when we shall realize it.

There appeared in number
of daily newspapers in this and
other States a very strong letter
from Hon. John L. McLaurln
on the cotton situation, and as is
usual with him, whenever he
appears in print there is some
thing said worth thinking about.
It was our intention to publish
this letter in this issue, out as
we have not the space for this
and an editorial comment: we de-
cided to have both next week.
We want every reader of The
TINES to look outfor McLaurin's
letter next week.

No More Stomach Troubles.

All stomach trouble is removed by
the use of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. It
gives the stomach perfect rest by di-
gestlng what you eat without the
stomach's aid. The food builds up the
body, the rest restores the stomach to
health. You don't have to diet your
self when taking Kodol Dyspepsia Cure.
J. D. Erskine, of Allerville, Mich,
says, II suffered Heartburn and Stom-
ach trouble for sometime. My sister,
in-law has had the same trouble and
was not able to eat for six weeks. She
lived entirely on water. After taking
two bottles of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure
she was entirely cured. She now eats
heartily and is 10 good health. am

their weight, but it is a fact that
there appears in many dallles
outside of the city, able work,
equally as good English, weighty
in every way, but they lack the
prestige of New York dating.
New York City has assumed
such proportions that the May
orality today is second in point
of position and prominence only
to the Presidency OF the United
States. With the rapid strides
now being made-there is no es,
timating where the greatness OF
the city will end. To Visitors
the great changes and advance
ment are more noticeable than to
residents. Immense structures
that impress them are found at
time of next visit overshadowed
by later ones: it really looks as
if there is no limit to the gradeur
of architecture here. One bust
ness building alone has 5000 oc'
cupants, a city within itself-yet
only a few brief years will pass
when others will rise up to con-
tain double this number.
People of moderate means
here enjoy life as the richest.
The modern apartment houses
have every convenience and
comfort. provided for the palaces
and combination and installment
plans enable them to have every
want supplied that the millions
of the wealthy can furnish. Fam
lilies are clothed for a dollar a
week-the $4,000 worth being
supplied upon the payment OF
the first dollar-so It's easy for
the wage earners to dress we'll
and meet the expense in easy
payments. Everything is as
cheap here as in the interior, but
wants-needs are more numer-
Gus so that the total expense is
far greater-yet wages are in
proportion. In the majority of
cases here, every member of the
household is a wage Garner, the
head of the family alone is not
looked to for all the income.
The female wage earners Of the
city, aggregate great army; 1t
it surprising how much Of the
business of this country centers
here, still more so, the amount
of the business transacted by
female help.

PURIFYING ELECTIONS.

One of the most important
bills introduced in the Legisla-
ture at this session so far, is one
prepared by the Aiken delega-
ton, looking to the purifying of
our primaries, the corruption of
which, is fast driving decent men
out of the political arena. The
professional politicians will not
relish this bill because it carries
with it fine and imprisonment to
offer, or give any sum of money
or other valuable consideration
for support for office, and it also
makes it a crime punishable by
fine and Imprisonment, to receive
money, meat, drink or other
valuable consideration for pro-
curing or assisting to procure
any Office or place of trust
through any general or primary
election. This is a move in the
proper direction, and one which
will throw out of business the
peskey "heelers" who bob up
just before primary election to
do the dirty work of unscrupul-
Gus politicians, The law should
pass, and the people should keep
a close watch on it as it goes
through the legislative mill, to
see who has the termerity to
vote against honesty, and the
man voting against such a meas
ure should be marked by his
constituents as an unworthy
Representative, r and unfit to oe

Taxpayers return what they own
on the first day Of January, 1905.
The assessors and taxpayers will
enter the first given name of the tax
payer in full, also make a separate
return for each party for the town
ship the property is in, and where
the taxpayers own realty, to insert
the post Office as their place Of resi-
dence, and those who only own per-
sonal property, to give the partys
name who owns the land they live
on as their residence, which aids the
taxpayer as well as the County Treas
urer in making the collections and
preventing errors.
Every male citizen between the
ages of twentvone and sixty years
on the first day of January, 1905,
except those incapable of earning a
support from being MANNED, or from
other causes. shall be deemed taxa
BILE polls. This does not apply to
Confederate soldiers over fifty years
of age, who are exempt.
All the returns that are made after
the twentieth day OF February will
have a penalty OF so per cent. added
thereto, unless out of the county du-
ring the time of listing is no excuse:
The assessing and collecting of
taxes is all done now in the same
year, and we have to aggregate the
number and value Of all the horses,
cattle, mules, ETC., and their value
that there is in the county, and have
same on file in the Comptroller Gen
erals Office by the thirtieth day of
June each year. And from that time
to the first day of October each year
the Auditor and Treasurer's dupli-
cate has to be completed and an ab-
stract of the work in the Comptroll-
er's Office by that time, which will
show at a glance that the Auditor
has DO time to take in returns or do
anything else much, between the
first day of March and the first day
of October each year but work on
the books and blanks. Therefore, /
hope that all taxpayers will do me
the favor of making their returns in
time.
