Senator Otis from Gafney
says in an interview. "The State
of South Carolina has no right
to ask protection from whlskey'
dealers outside of the State
while it authorizes it's county dis
pensaries to sell liquor into dr.T
territory" Senator Otis is 8
LAWYER and a very jealous worker
in any cause he enlists in, but
there is no law permitting "coun-
ty dispensarjes to sell liquor into
dry territory and no one Knows
this better than the senator from
Cherokee. Then why make such
a statement? County dispense
ries only sell over their counters
and do not ship their goods any
where, but the Senator from the
county of frequent homicides,
where prohibition, he says, IS
enforced, becomes most extrav-
aeant in his remarks since tax

The Kingstree County Record:
makes the point that Senator
Tillman has tenaciously clung TO
that Clemson college trusteeshlp
in plain violation of the State
constitution that he himself help
ed to frame" There has been
several attempts made to bring
Senator Tillman's position OF
trustee before the legislature,
but it has never succeeded. We
suppose it is because the sena
tors services on the boards of
Clemson and Winthrop are valu-
able. His Clemson trusteeshlp
however we believe is not affect
ed by the constitution, because
he was made a life trustee by the
will Of the donator Of the college
property before the constitution
of 1895 was made. We do not be-
lieve the courts would decide that
Senator Tillman is holding the
Clemson trusteeship unlawfully,
unless it declares the Clemson
will invalid.

If Cherokee County keeps up

the name of 'tBloody Ground" )"
Cherokee county is a prohibition
stronghold and yet it becoming
no new thing to read of blood,
letting and homicides there. But
then we believe, certain minis
ter on searching the records
found more crime in the prohibl-
ton counties in this State than in
counties where prohibition has
never been tried. We presume,
if this is a fact, that the law
against the 'scrime producing
liquid is not enforced as itshould
be. or the officers are prevented
from curtailing the consumption
by the interstate commerce laws
which permits public carriers
taking the staff into "dry" coun-
ties.

THE PRESIDENT MAKES 'EM MAD.

President Roosevelt has
brought upon himself the ire Of
many newspapers because he US
ed "that short but ugly word" in
answer to the intimations that
certain Americans got a 'srake
off" in the Panama canal deal. It
was alleged that a a~syndicate Of
which the presidents brother-in-
law, and the brother Of the pres
ident-electwere members, bought
the Panama canal for S12, ,000-,
900 and sold it to the United
States for $40, 100000 All of the
Americans connected with Pres
ident Roosevelt or Judge Taft
have strongly denied the allega-
ton and President Roosevelt has
threatened, ii the criminal libel
law can reach certain individuals,
he purposes using it to punish
them.
President Roosevelt entered
upon his second term the most
popular man in America, but he
now has many enemies among
those who were loud in singing
his praizes. Thus it is with pub
lie life, a man may give clean,
conscientious service. and his re
ward is censure from those who
could not or would not see as he
saw. If a public man is time
server; his walk in public life
may be smooth, but if he is of in
dependence, and dares to do that
which he thinks is right, it US.
ually results in division of
opinion-the making of bitter
enemies, and strong friends.
President Roosevelt is a strong
minded man, of ten blunt and even
harsh in, speech, but when his
enemies intimate dishonesty, or
charge hypocrisy, an investiga-
ton will show an ulterior mo-
tive, a disappointment, the Pres
ident could not be used by them.

THE EARLY BIRD CANDIDATES.

The talk among politicians
these days. is the man to succeed
Governor Ansel. Col. c. G.
oatherstone. has made the early
L ! announcement and Hon. r.
I. manning, has given it out suf-
hciently to cause his friends to
count him in the running. Feath
stone has decided advantage, if
the prohibition sentiment con
tinues to hold out, he is regarded
by many to have the prohibition
vote ':cinched, !" and he ought to.
because he stepped upon that
platform when it was not as pop
ular as now, and he has consis-
tently staid right there. If South
Carolina is to have a prohibition
Governor, then we say Feather
stone has the best claim.
Colonel Manning has not an
nounccd his platform. but judgi-
ing from his past public utter
ances he is not Prohibitionist,
and even, should he decide to run
on a prohibition platform, his op-
ponents will make it disagreeable
by reminding him Of his record
in the senate, and his speeches
on the stump. There is only one
position for Mr.. Manning to take
as a candidate for Governor: that
is, to have the liquor question
eliminated entirely, and go before
the people on a strictly retrench-
ment platform. It is evident to
our mind: that many people are
tired of this incessant ding dong
about liquor, they want business
legislation. something that will
lessen taxes. If Mr.. Manning can
devise a plan which will appeal
to the people as an argument from
a successful business man, it may
have the effect of bringing the
voters to his leadership rather
than continuing following a one.
idea impractical theory.
Richard l. Manning has dem
onstrated his business ability,
made a huge success Of his pri-
vate affairs, such a man would
make a safe Executive, but before
he can attain to this position he
must be able to bring the masses
to believe it is far, better for them
to give consideration to practical
business propositions in their pol
itics, than to make sentiment,
their whole thought for prohibi-
tion is only sentiment its sincere
advocates hoping it will have a
tendency to improve morals. Re
trenchment and Reform should be
the next campaign slogan, taxes
are growing burdensome, the peo-
pie are groaning under the
weight, not only are taxes in
creasing but the public service
needs improving, therefore we
say there is more need for hnan-
cial craftsmanship than forsenti.
mentality.

There is every prospect for a
revision of the tariff. President
elect Taft is pledged to use his
good Offices to that end, and the
Sentiment all over the country is
so strong Congress will be com
pelled to make some sort of a re-
vision. The question is not so
much tariff revision, with US, as
it is, will the revision give us
cheaper goods, and a better price
for cotton? Free hides, and high
price shoes is no revision OF IN
terest to the masses.

THE GAME SPY.

The Audubon Society's secre-
tary Mr.. J. Henry Rice: is be
coming quite notorious by his de.
tective methods in enforcing the
game laws. He looks into the
window of a millinery shop sees
a non-game feather, has the mil
liner arrested and fined. He goes
to a hotel for dinner, is served
with a partridge, walks out, has
the hotel proprietor arrested and
fined for violating the game laws.
The fines are usually small, not
enough to cause Il milliner or ho-
tel proprietor to test the law. 1t
is our Judgment if the law was
tested Mr.. Rice will 6n6, the
game protecting laws are not in
tended to operate against the
serving Of cooked birds, or the
manufactured feather. The pur-
pose of the law being to stop tie
destruction Of game birds by
those who make it a business: but
once the birds are killed and sold.
the party buying and serving
them has not violated the law: no
more so, or as much, as has the
hardware man who sold the gun:
powder and shot which the birds
were destroyed with.
The game laws, like all other
laws should be enforced, but it
should be done with reason, and
we do not think it reasonable to
arrest and fine a hotel manager
for serving birds on his table.
The man to line is the one who
killed the birds. Then it seems
to US, the proof would have to
show the birds were killed in
this State, and in the county in
which the warrant is issued. If
Mr.. Rice is correct in his construc-
ton of the game laws, then the
legislature should modify the law,
so that Mr.. Rice shall not have
to play the role of detective to
make money for his society. We
have no patience with spying and
see no difference between a bird
and whiskey spy.If our memory
serves US Alright Mr.. Rice when
in newspaper work made
some severe structures against
:'the whiskey spies in State dis
pensary days, now he has turned
out to be a bird spy.

larity. The issue raised was Of
fetal probity, of which we had no
personal knowledge but based
what we had written on written
information in hand, with more
promised, but: which on the
morning of joint debate, the
party who promised to furnish
additional proof, arrived the
night before on the same train

iously left the next day without
furnishing the additional prom.
ised proof of irregular financial

Notwithstanding the desertion,
enough for Tillman to occupy
over four hours in explanation:
this though, has not one thing to
do with Editor Gonzales past po-
litical disloyalty, when he refus-
