representing the Manning bar.
These we're seen coming down
the sidewalk Of Main street all
abreast, and their front was so
majestic that the natives took to
the street. One was rigged up
in hunting costume and was very
effective. Ii he escaped FROM a
fine from our Judge for appear
ing in his court in such a pic
turesque attire he can consider
himself lucky. The one in Tie
center gripped a paper bag,
which contained. we venture to
say. peanuts, which he intended
to scatter among the audience,
so as to make things seem natur-
t al, for some can't do their best
unless they feel at home. The
third, he with the square shoul.
ders, we venture to say, had a
pair of broken spectacles in his
pocket. His use for same will
be only divulged for a fee.

Senator Tillman is nc longer
one of the common people. He
has commenced to boast Of his
pedigree. Nobody ever did look
upon him as a ''gray-neck," not
even when he wore a sun burnt
alpaca coat and used the sleeves
as a handkerchief. He was not
even regarded a clod-hopper
when he wore brogans creased
with tallow.~ True, his public
speeches were to arouse the
common people, one OF whom ne
claimed to be, against the Bour-
bons or aristocrats, and every
body else that failed to appre-
ciate Tiliman's methods. The
glamor Of the footlights and the
comfortable feeling of fat purses
has made d great difference: who
would not realize The difference
between peddliug eggs in Au-
gusta at the market price per
dozen, and being the star attrac-
ton at a talking function at 5000
per night?

There is some likelihood of an
oratorical scrap between Presi-
dent J. G. Kilgo of Trinity Col.
lege, North Carolina, and Sena-
tor B. r. TilIman. It is to be
hoped the affair will be pulled
off in this State. Both men are
professional wind-jammers, and
bot. equally sincere in their
chase after the coin of the realm.
If Senator Tillman will hold
himself strictly to the issue
raised by Doctor Kilgo, we are
satisfied the preacher will make
it interesting for him, but If he
takes the issue for MS text and
branches of into matter calcu-
lated to muddy the debate Till
man will carry off the hurrah.
The two men are smart, Kilgo is
a scholar and an orator. Tillman
is not a scholar nor an orator.
but heis possessed of current in
formation which he has a knack
of putting in catchy way. He
is also a shrewd agitator and an
actor able to magnify mole hills
into mountains and shape them
to his advantage.

Ever since the State dispen-
sary was legislated out Of busi-
ness the Columbia Record has
been very sriteful, and doing its
level best to provoke an argu-
ment; falling in its purpose 1t
makes faces at the country press
and charges the county newspa,
pers with having no editorial
force. The News and Courier
of today defends the county pa,
pers from the charge, but while
the motive prompting this de-
fense is appreciated, it was al
together unnecessary. Newspa-
per readers appreciate the value
of county newspapers as sentl-
ment moulders, and they know
whether or not these papers
need the solicitous care of The

Rev. J. c. Yongue. formerly
pastor of the Methodist church
at Summerton, now stationed at
Walhalla, seems to have been
giving utterances relating to
the financial system Of the Meth
odist church, that were Of
tending and on last Sun
day he made an humble apology
for what he had been charging.
1t was. we believe, similar
charges that got Mr.. Creighton
into trouble with the Methodist
church. We are very fond of
Mr.. Yongue and it is gratifying
to his friends in Clarendon, if he
saw that he committed an error,
that he had the manh ood TO ac-
knowledge it.

The leaders of the cotton as
sociation are endeayerlng to or
ganize "Cotton Holding Com
panies," which they claim is ab-
solutely necessary for the cotton
association to accomplish re-
suits. There is no doubt IN our
mind that by organization and
loyalty to each other, the farm
ers of the South have in their
own hands the monopoly of a
product which means wealth, de-
velopm ent, the independence of
the South and the making of
agriculture the highest and
nobIest of callings. The whole
thing rests in the hands of the
farmers, and all they have to do,
is to stand firm, be true to them
selves, and to their neighbors,
and the desired end can be east
ly reached.

The financial depression

The financial depression in
this section brought on by the
short crop Of last year is purely
sectional and not at all general.
The State and country as whole
was never more prosperous, and
the short crop blow our people
got will prove a blessing in dis
guise. It has forced economy, a
curtailment of cotton acreage,
and more discreet use of ferti-
lizer and credit. AS a conse-
quence there will be more farm
ers with cash at the end Of the
season than there has been in
many Years.

Ralph Bingham will be the at
traction of the Lyceum course on
the night of the 22nd inst, Fri
day night. The previous num-
bers have been well enjoyed and
a night of pleasure and profit is
again anticipated.
Carolina Day was celebrated
at the graded school this week.
Principal Walker had nice pro
gram and many friends and pa
irons were present to enjoy the
exercises.
Miss Elise Walker of Georgia,
has been engaged as assistant in
the music department of the
school, this department having
become 100 much for one teacher.
Some of the foundation for the
new graded school building has
been laid, and it will soon begin
to take on shape. There is some
talk of developing the school in
to one of higher scholarship by
adding two more grades. and
converting the three highest in
to a high school.
There has been several changes
in real estate holdings the past
few weeks, and soon there will
be another campaign Of the saw
and hammer. Mr.. J. M. Plow-
den will soon begin the erection
of a handsome dwelling on n.
Dukes street.
Main street is now a thing OF
beauty, having been very much
improved by the recent work.
Several of the other streets have
been improved very much also.
Mr.. W. 81. Anderson is back
from Mississippi for the sum

has bought a home at West
Point, Miss, where he is en-

be missed from our community.

learn that our friend and old

AFTER DISCOVERED DEBTS.

1t begins to look as if the 4
nancial deficit for Clarendon
county at the end Of the year
1907 will bring about compul-
sorv raise in the tax levy. When
the legislature convened the con-
ditions in the Office Of the coun
tv commissioners were such that
only an inaccurate statement OF
the finances could be obtained
for the Information OF the dele
cation. A statement was
furnished but 1t was incomplete,
because of the fact, that there
were outstanding claims of which
there was no record in the office.
On last Thursday Col. W. A.
Neal of Atlanta, representing
The Good Roads Machinery Co.,
came here with notes Of the
county amounting to s,3, ,235
and these notes are past due and
drawing interest. The notes Will
have to be paid sooner or later,
and the sooner paid the quicker
will the interest stop. The debt
was not contracted by the present
board, and the people must not
hold them responsible for the
transaction, but the money must
be paid all the same, and there
is no provision made for the
payment this year. To pay this
debt will necessitate an addl-
tional levy of one mill; there is
no way to avoid it so far as we
can see. II at the next session
of the legislature no provision is
made to pay this past indebted
ness, the parties holding the
notes will put them in judgment
thereby adding costs and attor-
news fees to an already burden
some debt, and by certain court
proceedings force a tax levy to
Iiouidate the debt. The present
legislative delegation is opposed
to making the tax burden heavl-
er than it is, it is already unjust
" distributed, there are too
many who have lodged taxation
by making false returns, and by
doing so placed the weight upon
the honest man, so far, there
has been no plan conceived to
stop this inequality, be that as
it may, we are now confronting a
condition which compels the
delegation to consider matters
from a practical business stand
point. 1t must say whether or
not it is wise to raise the tax
levy an additional mill and wipe
out an interest-e eating debt that
must be paid, or rock along and
increase the debt by letting it go
to Judgment and have it to pay
anyhow.
Our objectin directing atten-
tion to this matter at this time,
is to inform the taxpayers OF the
condition so they may not be
taken by surprise when their
representatives cause them to
paw more taxes later on, and
also. that they will place the re-
sponslbi3ity for the financial cen
dition Of the county, not upon
those now in authority but upon
those who preceded them,

AN IMPOSSIBLE HOPE.

Zach McGhee. the Columbia
States Washington correspon-
dent in issue of 10Th inst, has
ex-senator John L. McLaurin
an enthusiastic advocate of Pres
ident Roosevelt for third term
asthe nominee Of both parties.
Senator McLaurin has always
been a warn admirer Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and we believe
he is in earnest in wishing the
president to succeed himself,
but we doubt very much if the
United States contains man
who can be elected president for
a third term. If however, there
is such an one, his nameis Roose-
velt. In our judgment he is in
closer touch with the masses
than any other man that has
ever filed the executive hcalr,
and he is also more out Of touch
with the great corporate inter
ests than any other president.
Roosevelt is reported to have
declared time and again that he
would not be a candidate to sue
ceed himself: but notwithstand-
ing his declarations, both Demo
Gratis and Republicans, North
and South, East and West, feel
that the great work of regulat-
ing corporations, and the con.
struction Of the Panama Canal
will need the genius and determ-
ination of the present chief.
Therefore there are many VINO
regard the reelection Of Theo-
dore Roosevelt necessity for
the country's continued pro-
gress.
There was a time when to
hear a Southern man praising
a Republican his motives were
questioned and he was regarded
with dlstrust, but such is not now
the case, because there are thous-
ands Of Democrats all over the
South who like McLaurin, have
the manhood TO speak their hon
est convictions and to render
unto Caesar the things that are
Caesars. McLaurin regards
President Roosevelt as a man
higher and broader than any po-
litical party, andi it is just such
men the country needs IN order
to get out of the clutches Of de
signing politicians who are the
henchmSsf corporate greed.
When S6ern men speak out
sincerely boldly like John
McLaurin tneAhole country is
the better for it.

There has been so much aa-
verse railroad legislation both IN
State and Nation that the rail
roads are groaning under the op.
preston, and the people at large
are the sufferers. In every State
in the Union the legislatures are
filed with men who have made
their campaigns for political pre-
ferment on platforms of railroad
antagonisrn, and the result is,
they have built up a sentiment
which demands extreme legisla
tioI-railroads are treated as
enemies instead as developers of
the country. All of this is wrong
and politicians are responsible
for J. We believe in treating
the railroads as fairly as any
private institution; to hamper
the railroads with meddlesome
legislation tends to cripple the
efficiency. and the public must
suffer. We believe in having
just laws and requiring the rail
roads to comply with those laws,
but we do not believe in enacting
such laws as makes it almost an
impossibility for them to carry
out. nor do we believe in enact
ing laws that tend to curtail
their earnings. Very few men
in the legislature have any idea
Of the financial operations of a
railroad, and when they attempt
to make laws that limit rail
roads earning capacity, it can
only result in limiting and cur
failing the railroads ability to
serve the public.
