The streets of Gaffney yesterday We're
the scenes of quite an unusual spectacle
for the season. Load after load of cot
ton was being hauled through the
streets, and upon inquiry it was learn
ed that lot of 365 bales of the staple
had been bought by r. S. Lipscomb,
cashier of the Merchants and Planters
Bank, from Lemaster Bros, DR.. Jeffer'
les, J. D. Hughes and others This lot
represents about all the cotton which
was left from last seasons crop In
Cherokee county. The price paid was
13 Is cents. Buying cotton is some

he is always ready and willing to do
good turn for his farmer friends.-Gaff-

THE sOUTIIERN DEMOCRACY

The American, of Waterbury, Conn,
does not think the south can be de-
pended on to lift the democratic party
out of it's slough. 1t declares that the
south means well,' bu it has not
the courage of its best aspirations and
has no proper appreciation of the er-
feet of the characters of men upon
the judgment of the entire American
people"
We are afraid The American has
about sized up the situation. 1t looks
like the democracy of the south is go
ing to pursue it's former course of per-
feet submission to the dictation OF
party leaders in other sections in the
country, still consenting to entirely
efface itself as to all party matters
except the election of the only demo-
cratic presidential electors, although
were it to realize its power in the par
it could dictate the platform and the
it could dictate the platform and the
candidate to the party and could
WELD great influence in the manage
ment of national affairs. The apathy

private life, and a venerable man of
| God who as minister of the gospel and
educator through the columns of his
own and other papers had successfully
striven to lead men to better things.
| Jackson, Bum and Whitaker-three
men representing three callings in life
which do more for the enlightenment
and elevation of mankind than any 9TH
ers-laid down their burdens and pass
passed to their eternal rest.
Of the three Rev. r. II. Whitaker,
who died in Raleigh Monday evening,
had the widest circle of acquaintance.
He had passed the three score years
and ten usually allotted to man and
had nearly closed another ten. He
was an earnest minister of the gospel
and had also devoted much of his
time to journalism. Fifty-tour years
ago he began his newspaper work as
cultOI. III ldLSi yCd1o lAC oAiy WIZ r.
of this kind he did was in the way of
letters to the Sunday issues of certain
state papers He laid down a life of
seventy-nine years spent in doing good
to his fellowman and has entered upon
eternal rest well deserved.
Hon. B. H. Bum was one of the
leading lawyers of his section of the
state. His public services in elective
offices show in what esteem he was
held by his people In private life he
was esteemed and loved as few men
are. One knowing him we'll has said
of him:
Captain Bunns motto in life has
been ''tO live SO that the world will
say of me after am dead that There
lies an honest man." He suggests
that any man who is honest and en-
ergetic will succeed, and he has never
been able to conceal his contempt for
deceit in any form.
Walter F. Jackson had made his
mark as a useful citizen and man cap
able and willing to aid his fellowman
reach better things. He was an editor
and, though cut down at an earlier pc
riod in life than the other two, had
given plentiful indications that had he
lived their age he would have done his
full share of duty toward mankind.

GROWTH OF TEMPERANCE
MOVEMENT.

The report of the commissioner of
internal revenue shows that for the
last fiscal year the governments
tax on acoholic liquors and beer
amounted to $27O,O0O,OO0 and that the
amount Of spurious liquors consumed
increased nearly 100000 gallons and
of beer nearly 100000 barrels Tt is
said that figures cannot lie If that
is so it would appear that the cause
Of temperance was retrograding. But
while it may be true that figures can
not lie it has been said by some one
that the men who handle the figures
can lie. Figures can be juggled with
so as to be made to show a different
state of facts from what really exist,
and sometimes figures, without any
juggling, when presented in a certain
way, present a false condition, and
this is the case with the figures above
given as to the consumption of liquors
In this country. While they indicate
increased intemperance there are other
figures which show just the reverse
an Improvement in the drinking hab-
its of our people. These figures are
that while fftv wears ago the annual
consumption of spurious liquors was
four and half gallons per capita, last
year it was only one and two-thirds
gallons 1t would not take these lat
ter figures to refute the idea that there
is an increase of drinking among our
people, as one might think is indi-
Gated by the other set of figures. The
rapid progress prohibition has made in
all sections demonstrates the truth
of the assertion that drinking has de-
creased Without discussing the ques-
ton as to whether or not prohibition
prohibits, every one is bound to ad-
NIT that it's tendency is to lessen the
general use of liquors and that the
widespread adoption of prohibition is
indicative of a growing sentiment In
favor of temperance, though it il not
here cpntended that all who favor pro.
hibition laws are total abstainers.

COLUMBIA's SENSATION.

OF course it created stir in Colum-
bia when il came out in evidence be-
fore the recorders court that two
druggists in that city, members OF
leading firms, had been in the habit
of selling cocaine 10 negroes, in viola
ton of the state law and secretly. It
| is true that the testimony as to the
actual sales was all from negroes who
claimed to have bought the drug from
them and to have seen them sell to
others. 1t was testified that one of
the druggists would meet the negroes
by appointment in back streets and in
alleys and deliver the goods, tell
ing his customers not to come to the
store after the drug because his partner
was opposed to making such sales.
There was testimony by a member
of a wholesale drug store as to having
sold cocaine to one Of the accused
from time to time in half ounce pack
ages. The purchaser paid $1.55 per half
ounce and retailed it for $1,000 and up
wards. This man made positive denial
of the charges; declared he had never
sold cocaine to negroes, but admitted
that he did on several occasions give
the negroes orders on the wholesale
drugstore for cocaine; that this was
done in order to accommodate the ne
negroes by enabling them to secure the
drug. but he did not at any time re-
ceive a cent in compensation.
The matter is to be thoroughly inVes-
tigated by the courts. The accused
stand high in business and social cir
cles in South Carolina's capital.

Caorlina recently enacted against the
sale of this deadly drug, because Of the
horrible effect it has on its victims
and Of the fact that so many negroes
in recent years have become habitual
users of it.

ROOSEVELT AND GLENN
The Boston Tribune Places in Nomi-

C F. Kings newspaper, The Boston
Daily Tribune, today nailed to its ed1-
torial masthead these cOlors: For
President, in 1908, Theodore Roosevelt,
of New York; For Vice-President.
Robert B. Glenn, of North Carolina" +"
At the close of it's editorial leader
The Tribune says:
Although The Tribune is not in pol
itics, neither as party organ or as 81
disseminator of purely political news,
even in politics it has duty to per-
form towards the investors Of this
country. In the light of such utter
ances as those of President Roose-
velt at Provincetown, that duty points
US to the emphatic declaration that
Theodore Roosevelt should be his own
successor in the White House in 1908
AS his associate upon the ticket we
nominate Robert 3. Glenn, whose fear
lessness as Governor of North Carolina
fully entities him to stand shoulder to
shoulder with the man whose words
at Provincetown are ringing in the
nations ears. 1t is true, that Glenn
is a democrat, while Roosevelt is re-
publican, but the Tribune Is for men

BRYAN:S ULTIMATUM.

Those who are waiting to get tnelt
instructions from Mr. Bryan as ~ "nA'
the democratic party must DO Will h@Ne
to possess their souls in patience LOT
about the space of two months anu
half. then they will hear the clarion
note sounded from Lafayette, lnd-'
whore If is said, the leader or the par
tv in a speech already scheduled 1o'
that time and place, will announce HIS
candidacy for the nomination TOR presl-
,o+ h1 tho democratic party and will
also dictate to the party the platlorhl
which it must adopt.
The announcement has been autnorl-
tatively made by friend OF Mr.. Bryan
that during the month of November he
will make an address in that lnolaha
citv in which he will lay down the
nltimatum to the democratic party.
We suppose Mr.. Bryan will say to the
party on tudt oCCdoioA 'li"' 49,
proper man for it to nominate anc
that as it's nominee he must and Will
stand on a platform which makes gov
ernment ownership of railroads the
chief issue and the one of next I'M
portance the initiative and reteren-
dunn the tariff being relegated to the
tail end of the document.
The question is, will the southern
democracy submit to MI Bryan's as
suming the candidacy and declaring the
platform on which he will make the
contest for election?
If he is allowed to do these things
the country may at once make up its
mind to witness the breaking up of the
solid south on the Tuesday after the
first Monday in November, 1908; for,
as sure as fate, if the democratic party
makes Mr.. Bryan it's standard bearer,
simply because he announces h1mselt
as a candidate for the nomination, and
humbly accepts as it's party platform
any declarations on political princi-
pies he suggests-Or rather demands
the party will not only be aeleateo,
but the solid democracy ii the south
will be broken. Mr., Bryan cannot
carry all the southern states on a plat
form containing the political prlncl-
n1ae he has announced since his re-
+urn from his tour around the world
IT NAV be that the democrats will
have no chance to elect their cahol-
date for president, no matter VINO ne
NAV he what section of the country
he has come from or on what klnd OIL
a platform he may be nominated; put
a man nominated by a democratic con-
vention in which the delegates express
their untrammeled preference for a
candidate and their unbiased OPINION
as to the party tenets would receive
more popular votes the country over
and would have a bigger electoral
vote, whether he be an ex-confederate
brigadier or citizen of some northern
state, than would Mr.. Bryan, nominal
ed on a platform composed Of the prin-
ciples he has recently announced.
II our party is going to be defeated
let's have 1t in way we are not
ashamed of; let's go down lighting for
the man who is the choice of the party
and not for the logical, self-imposed
leader. There is more honor in that
kind of defeat and more cnance OF
successful rally after defeat.

Trace History of SeeCi ess Pear.

Spokane, Dec. Pathological
experts and nurserymen in various
parts of the United States and Cana
da will be invited to trace the vari-
ETY. and history of a seedless and
coreless pear recently discovered by
Albert I. Mason, an orchardist, oper-
ating southwest of Spokane, among
his trees. The tree yielded 800
pounds of fruit, and is looked upon
as a horticultural wonder in this
part of the northwest. The pears are
of the size of the Bartlett, Of deep
yellow and delicate flavor. The
flesh is finely grained and is solid.
The tree is in its sixth year, its yield
until this year being SO small that
Mr.. Mason intended to destroy it.
The tree was labeled as Clapp's Fa-
vorite, but experts, who have exam
ined it declare the variety so far is
not known. 1t bears later than the
earlier trees and earlier than the
late varieties. They also say that the
discovery is of value to horticulture
if the tree continues to bear seedless
and coreless pears. Samples have
been sent to Luther Burbank, the
fruit wizard. ny ME-
