In conclusion we would call Mr..
Wannamaker's attention to the fact
that during the past summe" a great
many bitter things were said about
Orangeburg and her people by some
of the promoters Of Calhoun County.
Among other things the people of
this city were accused Of robbing the
country people of the proceeds of the
road tax collected here and using it
on their streets. 1t was also charged
that they contemplated pulling down
the present courthouse, taking the
public square as park and making
the people Of the county build a
handsome courthouse in some other
part Of the city.
These charges were puDllSned ID
the newspapers, but surely Mr.. Wan
namaker could not have noticed them,
or he would have '::writted in the in
terest of truth, justice and fair play"
long ere this. In contemplating the
many hard and bitter things said
about Orangeburg and her people by
some Of the promoters of Calhoun
County we fully agree with Mr.. Wan
namaker that ''in a moment of time

New Postal Ruling.

The postmaster general has issued
an order, which went into effect on
Jan. /, 1908, which requires publish
ers of all papers to drop from their
subscription lists the names of all
subscribers after q specified term
following the expiration of the time
for which the paper is paid for.
Hereafter publishers Of weekly
newspapers can not carry subscrib-
ers in arrears more than one year,
semi-weeklies, more than nine
months, tri-weeklies longer than six
months, and dailies longer than three
months.
For each violation the publishers
will be fined / cent for each four
ounces. Since the average newspa-
pers weighs four ounces or less,
each paper sent to subscriber in
arrers for a longer period than in
dicated will cost the publishers l
cent fine.
The same ruling requires that all
papers sent through the mails as Sec
ond class matter must be paid for
and not sent complimentary. The
ruling will .revolutionize the newspa-
per business, and will relieve the
postal service of tons and tons of
Newspaper matter, which is carried
at very low rate of postage.
The Times and Democrat, with all
other papers, will be compelled to
comply with this order. and we now
call upon all subscribers who are in
arrears to come up and settle or we
will have to drop their names from
our subscription list. Under this rul-
ing we cannot credit any subscriber
longer than nine months.

Blind Tigers the Cause.

Sometime before the election in
Union County on the liquor question,
which came off last Friday week ago,
the correspondent of The News and
Courier at Union predicted that the
dispensary would win. The CORES
pondent said that the county was
carried for prohibition by such a
large majority in 1905 the people
were anxious to give it a trial but
that since that time innumerable
blind tigers had been doing business
in the country as we'll as the towns
and liquor could be purchased at
nearly every other house in the
county, The Aiken Journal and
Review says nothing but the exis-
tence Of such conditions could explain
the great change in the vote in that
county in two years. There was no
dispensary in the county so that 1t
cannot be charged that it was due to
the efforts of any officeholders; the
newspapers of the county worked
hard for prohibition; the pastors of
the various churches delivered lee
lures on the subject, at points in the
county, and no champion of the dis
pensary's cause appeared on the
stump. On the day of the election
the women of Union canvassed for
votes and at the polls served lunches
to the prohibitionists. With such
organized work on behalf of the pro-
hibitionists the only explanation Of
their defeat is the statement of the
correspondent at Union that the vot-

Keep the Record Straight.

AS the statement quoted in these
columns as to what Senator Tillman
said in reference to the disfrachised
Democrats in the territory embraced
in the proposed County of Calhoun
has been called in question in COM
munication to The News and Cour-
ier, we feel called upon to state in
substance what Senator Tillman did
say and give the names of those who
heard him say it. When it was ex-
planned to Senator Tillman that the
men who were fighting Calhoun
County were residents of the propos-
ed new county who could not vote
because their voting places had been
left out of the new county territory,
and they could not legally vote any
where else, he said he was satisfied
the Supreme Court would and should
declare the election illegal, az no
legal voter should be deprived of his
right to vote. This, in substance, is
what Senator Tillman said at the
dinner table at the St. Joseph Hotel
in this city on Wednesday, January
1. 1t was said in the presence Of the
Hon. John H. Dukes, Sheriff, Hon,
I. W. Bowman. Alderman, Capt. j.
H. Claffy, Superintendent Dispen-
sary, Mr.. J. C. Ransdale. a promi-
nent merchant, and the Editor of The
Times and Democrat. all of whom
were dining with the Senator when
the remark was made by him. so

Some Plain Talk.

The News and Courier says there
is no question whatever that the i'm
provement of the Edisto River should
have the careful consideration of the
River and Harbors Committee in
Congress. Representatives Patter
son and Lever, of this State, are en-
gagged in an effort to make this
stream navigable for boats of very
light draught from Charleston to
Orangeburg. Last year, as Mr.. Le-
yer showed in his recent statement
to the Rivers and Harbors Board of
the War Department, 1000 bales of
cotton and 10000 tons of fertilizers
were sold in the city of Orangeburg.
Sixteen thousand bales of this
cotton were shipped to Wilmington
and all the rest, with the exception
of "a bales, which came to Charles
ton by some good fortune, went to
Savannah. All of the cotton market
ed at Orangeburg should have been
sold and shipped through the port to
Charleston. That it did not take this
direction, as we have heretofore
pointed out, was not on account OF
the rates charged by the railroads
for the transportation of the cotton.
GAS a matter of fact the rate to
Wilmington from Orangeburg was
80 cents the hundred pound, to Sa-
vannah % cents and to. Charleston
25 cents. The advantage Of rates en-
joyed by Charleston as compared
with Wilmington amounted to 25
cents the bale Of five hundred pounds,
and of 20 cents the bale as compared
with Savannah. Something more than
the deepening Of the Edisto River,
evidently would be needed to draw
the cotton from Orangeburg to this
port, and that something must be
supplied by the people at Charleston
who are engaged in the cotton busi-
ness"
The News and Courier is right.
The people of Orangeburg would like
to see Charleston handle not only all
the cotton that comes here, but the
trade in all other lines as well. We
have no interest in common with Sa-
vannah and Wilmington, but we have
with Charleston. and for that reason
and others, we would like to enjoy
closer business relations with the
metropolis and largest seaport of
the State. The matter is altogether
in the hands of the merchants Of
With such an advantage
in freight rates as The Ne US and
Courier points out they should not
let Savannah and Wilmington come
and take business that legitimately
belongs to Charleston.
