"A Man Named Baker,"

There has been going the rounds of
the papers, without comment, an item
which was started by the Washington
correspondent of western paper to
the effect that in the capitol at Wash
ington, among the statues of celebrat
ed men, is the statue of IA man named
Baker" but that no one knew who
Baker was or why his statue was
there. The statue, it was stated, was
in one of the inches assigned to the
state of Oregon. How ephemeral is
fame! When the battle of Balls
Baker fell at the head of his troops,
the whole nation mourned his death
as a household word for genera lions.
And now we are told that nobody in
Washington" knows who he was or
why Oregon has placed his statue in
the capitol. The correspondent would
not have serious trouble in finding
many who know who Baker was and
who can give good reasons why his
memory is honored.
Edward d. Baker was born i'm Eng
land, was twice a member of congress
from Illinois, friend of Lincoln in
Sangamon county, and one of the pi-
oneers of Galena. He was a colonel
in the Mexican war, and succeeded
Gen. Shields in command of a brigade
at the battle of Cerro Gordo. He was
one of the promoters of the Panama
railroad. and, having thrown in his lot
fornia and then with Oregon. was cho-
sen by the latter state United States
senator. Upon the breaking out of the
war he was commissioned major gen.
eral, and was killed in one of the
earlier engagements of the war. An
alien by birth. he held general rank in
two wars of the United States, and
represented two states in congress-
one in the lower house, one in the up
per. Killed in battle at a time when the
death roll was not yet long or filled
with illustrious names. he ended in
picturesque fashion a .romantic career
in the full blaze of the spotlight. Fate
seemed kind to him no less in the cir
of l,an in, ha
success which had attended his ad-
venturous career.
The roll of Oregon's statesmen since
the war has not afforded any name
entitled to displace Bakers. His
statue in the capitol is credit to the
state and to the nation. If it is true
that fame is ephemeral, and that with
out the statue the new generation with
its new heroes would have forgotten
Bakers name, its presence there
proves that his own generation was
grateful and that it was wise to per-
petuate in this way the memory of a
man worth remembering America is,
as II then was. the land of opportunity
Inc young man i'm whose heart ambi-
hon stirs need look only at what this
man accomplished in a short life to be
encouraged to greater effort. And the
country is fortunate which has so
great a wealth of patriots that men
ike Baker are lost i'm the crowd

Our esteemed cotemporary should
know that child labor bill was pass
ed at the session three years ago and
has been on the books for three years
already and under it no child under
twelve years Of age shall be permit
ted to work in the mills. 1t surely
cannot be that the law is so ignored
by the mills Of Clinton that our CO.
temporary saw the need Of such law.
It IS unfortunate that the law is not
more riGidly enforced.

When Candidate II. II. Evans of
Newberry declares on the stump that
any one holding that there has been
corruption in the dispensary is liar,
he raises a question of vcracity be-
tween himself and a few score thous-
ands of South Carulinians.-The
State.
This is not exactly fair criticism
as Mr.. Evans did not say what is quot =
ed and while it is very nearly what he
said correct version makes quite a
difference in meaning. Mr.. Evans
said: "Anybody who got up and said
that the state dispensary is corrupt
through H. H. Evans is a liar and
am here to make good.' Then he went
on to say that he had been connected
with the institution for six years and
he had seen no corruption.

The Oranyebur" Times and Demo-
crat cditorally denies that the "Chic-
GO FAM was in evidence at the meet
in" of the Press association. When
the editor Of the Laurensville Herald
offered his testimony Of similar pur-
port, the senator did what he could
to discrcdit it by sayin" that the fan
would not have been given to him.
The editor Of the Times and Demo-
crat, an honorable and upright man,
need not deceive himself that Sena-
tor Tillman will consider Of value any
statement Of his not in harmony with
the Senator's wishes. The fans were
not seen by anybody at the Press as
sociation, but dcnialS Of the senator's
statements are uSclcSs.-NewS and

The first and only fan we saw was
the one Senator Tillman had in his
satchcl as he came from IaurcnS.
There were no fans ut the press meet
ing and we told Senator Tillman the
same Saturday morning after his
Laurens speech.
The fans and Tillman 5 and Hey-
wards pictures had nothing to do
with the Press association any way.

The government report of the cot
ton crop which came out on Saturday
shows the crop condition to be 80. 8
out of possible 100. This is little
better than the ten year average of
824. .
1t will be observed, however, that
the increased condition of the crop
this year over the ten year average
Is not in South Carolina,
North Carolina or Georgia but
in the states further west.
The crops in this county taken as a
whole are below the average, we be-
lieve, more than the government re-
port indicates. In somc sections the
cotton looks we'll but there is not
much fruit and dry and hot August
would cause much of this to shed.
