Foraker Bent on Revenge.

The New York World says
Foraker is out to defeat Mr.. Taft.
and is going to bend all his political
energies toward that end. Anxious
as he may be to lift himself up,
is no less anxious to pull Mr.. Taft
down. AS the campaign progresses
and Senator Foraker perceives how
homeless is the task of rehabllltat-
ing himself it is obvious that he will
work the more desperately to defeat
the Republican candidate for Presl-
dent. Whether he can accomplish
his purpose depends on the amount
of influence that is left to MIR. Foraker
since the exposure Of his relations
with the Standard Oil Company.
But one thing is certain. In all his
political career Mr.. Roosevelt has
never had to deal with so able AMI
desperate an enemy as the one who
NOW confronts him in Mr.. Taft'S
own state. 1t is war to the death.
No one can blame Senator Foraker
for wishing the defeat OF Roosevelt
and Taft. Should they win, For
aker's political race is run. as they
would defeat him for reelection
70 the Senate. But should Bryan
win, Foraker might again win over
the political cnrpses of Roosevelt
and Taft. So we are not surprised
to hear that Foraker is trying To
defeat his two most bitter political
enemies.

but for the fact that the negroes
in the Western and Eastern States
are in a state of rebellion anu
threaten to bolt the Republican
ticket and vote for Bryan and Kern.
This being the case, two colored men
are tolerated on the electoral ticket
out Of nine, but the business men are
assured by Capers that no negro shall
be nominated for Office In South
Carolina. This is the inducemen:
held out to the white business. men
of the State to vote for Taft and
Sherman. So, according to Capers.
the negros who furnish ninety-nine
per cent. of the Republican vote in
South Carolina, and by virtue Of
which that gentleman holds good
fat office, no negro must aspire to
Office in this State, In other words,
he is willing to throw all the ne
groes over board If he can get few
white business men to vote for Taft
and Sherman.
Capers goes on to say that a prom
inent merchant, of Columbia pre-
sumably, had advised him the MORN
ing he as talking that he would vote
the ticket, except that he would
strike off the last two names, Baxter
and Grant, who are the only coiorel
men on the ticket. Capers yoes on
to say that "He advised his friend
that he could not regulate that, as
it was a matter of his own choice,
but that it seemed rather inconsis-
tent in view Of the fact that the
Democrats had today on the roll in
the paid employment of the Bryan
Democratic committee three negro
preachers and at least twenty-five
negro preachers urging their people
to vote the Democratic ticket for
Bryan and Kern"
We do not know who this proml-
nent Columbia merchant is who
Capers says will vote for the white
electors but gags at the colored
electors on the Republican ticket,
but it seems to us he is inconsistent
If he knows anything at all, this
prominent merchant must know
that if it was not for the negroes
that there would be no Republican
party existing today in South Caro-
lima, and no fat offices for men like
Capers to hold. Then, why should
he refuse to vote for the two negroes
on his party's ticket? If he re.
fuses to mix with the negro politi-
cally he is not good Republican,
as the party teaches that politically
the negro is as good as anybody.
We fear this prominent Columbia
merchant, who has given Capers so
much encouragement, is entirely too
particular to make good Republ!'
can.

Loyal, Brave and True.

The St. Matthews correspondent
of The News and Courier says:
Mr.. J. E. Wannamaker, who
has been loyal and brave in his
cooperation with the Southern
Cotton Association in its fight
against Wall Street spectators,
and who stood to his guns with
the tenacity of Napoleon's Old
Guard, has like Ney and Nc
Donald and the chief himself
at Waterloofi been forced to sur
render to the inevitable and sell
some of his cotton. Though
possessed of a splendid rea!
estate, he is not a bloated bond
holder, and held no fat job to
give defiance to the bowling
wolf. AS matter of fact, he, has
spent of his substance in order
to realize his beautiful dream of
Is cents cotton, but the tempt
ing ignis faCIns seemed eIsa-
.ually receeding from view and
there was nothing left for
man Of large family and
moderate income, but to stack
his arms and ask for an honor
able truce.
The editor of The Times and Dem
ocrat takes great pleasure in en-
dorsing every word said in the abov'
about Mr.. John E. Wannamaker. l
any cause ever had a loyal, brav'
and true defender in this world,
the Southern farmers certainly hat
such a champion in Mr.. John E
Wannamaker. He gave his time
money and talent to their cause
and he has the proud satisfaction
of knowing that it was through M
act of his that the grand fight O
the farmers for their rights has no
been successful. If every county Il
the South had such an unselflsh an.
intelligent man as MIR. Wannamake
to lead the farmers the result woulf
not be doubtful, and the people o
our beautiful Southland would sool
come into their own. While all tina
Mr.. Wannamaker labored for has no
been realized, still his noble worl
in the interest of his fellow mai
has not been in vain. We hope tt
rejoice with him yet in the full &C
complishment of his Noble work II
behalf of the farmers in particula
and the people in general of ou
beloved Southland.

Entirely Too Particular.

In putting out q Republican cleo
torial ticket in this State Capers, who
seems to be pretty much the whole
push in South Carolina Republican
ism, says For many years business
men had announced that they would
vote the Republican national ticket
but for fear of local negro domina-
ton. We now give these business
men an opportunity to vote for Taft
and Sherman without the remotest
fear Of negro domination in any
form. In fact. there has not been.
nor is there apt to be Republican
nominated for Office in this State
national, State or county-as the
Republicans will content themselves
under the peculiar existing CON
ditions. with an appeal to business
men of the State to vote the national
Republican ticket.
The ticket put out by Capers has
only two negroes on it ,and they
are of the very much mixed variety
Even these so-called negroes would
not have been allowed on the ticket
