the policy OF protection so that Il may
not occur again The Congressman
who visited Hawaii are helping Dele
gate Kuhios anti-American bill be-
cause the commercial bodies in Homo
lulu have wished Il. They have not
considered the matter from the broad
er and National viewpoint We have
recently seen the withdrawal of an
American steamship line doing bust
ness across The Pacific because It could
not secure Protection, and now we aim
to injure the four American companies
that are doing business between Ha-
wall and the Pacific Coast, to take
some of their earnings from them and
give them to foreigners, for no other
reason than absolutely unadulterated
selfishness.
We can imagine how Secretary Taft
chuckles to himself at the idea of
those fellows in Hawaii fighting Pro-
lection for Philippine sugar and ask
ing for Free Trade in shipping. Should
he be elected the next President of the
United States, what can we expect
from him when we ask for Protection
to Hawaiian sugar, for our coffee, 81
sal, rubber, pineapples, bananas and
other products? The Tariff Will be
revised in 1902 that is a certainty.
The Ways and Means Committee will
be influenced by the President without
a doubt. The President may be either
Taft or Roosevelt again. They both
want Free Trade for Philippine sugar
Hawaii does not. But we want Free
Trade in shipping and Taft or Roose-
welt will concede the point. How, ther
can we consistently ask for protection
to Hawaiian sugar or for any other
Hawaiian product?
The Philippine Tariff bill, as orig
inally drawn by the Secretary of War
simply meant that the American Gus
toms houses were to swing their gates
wide open to Philippine sugar and TO-
bacco. AS regards sugar it is now
modified to 100000 tons, seventy-ive
per cent as much as Hawaii produces
If Hawaii is an advocate of just and
proper industrial Protection, it must
equally upon just and proper Protec-
ton for shipping. The very same pow.
err exercised for the Protection of oul
industries on land is the one that au-
thorizes the Protection of our mari
time industries. And there is no 9TH
er. We cannot juggle with one hand
and jiggle with the other.
Let the progress of the un-Americar
Hawaiian shipping bill, now before
Congress, be stopped at once.-Trans
Pacific Trade.

Mr.. Devore's Chances Good.

Should the proposed new judi
cial circuit be formed, it will
necessitate the election of ancth.
er circuit judge. And it gives us
pleasure to state that Edge6eld
through the election Of Hon. j
W. DeVore, will probably secure
the judg' ship. Hon. C.M. E6rd, ol
Lexington, is also a candidate, but
Mr.. DeVore's friends believe that
be can secure the prize. In the
furtheranch of his candidacy, no
stone will be left unturned.
The Edgefeld Bar met on Sat
urday morning last and unanl-
mouslY adopted the following

County AUDITORS Notice.

The Office of County Auditor
will be open to receive tax re-
turns from the first day of Janua-
ry 1908 to the Goth day of Feb
ruary 1908.
All persons owning property Of
any kind whatsoever or in any
capacity, as husband, guardian.

tee are required to make returns
of the same 10 the Auditor. under
oath within the time above named !;
and the Auditor is required by
law to add a penalty of fifty per
cent to all property that is not re-
turned on OF before the Doth day
of February in any year,
All male citizens bstwtan tbs
ages of 21.andeo years, except
those exempt law, aresdsemed
taxable polls.
AS the law now requires the Au-
ditor to take charge of the Treas
urer's duplicate on the 1st day Of
January and count a penalty of
one per cent on all delinqueEta
and as his Office is also required
to be kept open on certain days
during the months Of January and
February, for the benefit of the
county pension board, it ls a
physical impossibility for him to
do this and at the same time re-
ceive tax returns in the various
townships; and as but very few
take advantage of the township
appointments, | will be found in
the Auditors Office during the en-
tire term for receiving tax returns,
and for the convenience of those
who desire to make their own re-
turns at home I will be pleased to
mail them blanks for that purpose

Public Building.

Congressman J. o. Patterson
has introduced bill asking for
an appropriation of $125,000 by
the national government for the
erection of public building in
Edgefeld in which to transact
Uncle Sans increasing postal
business. The erection of such a
building would be a great boon to
Edgeield, and if Mr.. Patterson
secures the appropriation our en-
tire populace will rise up and call
him blessed. A post Office such as
Uncle Sam would build would not
only be an ornament to our town
but greatly facilitate the handling
of the mails.

for folr times as much as cotton
seed oil.
Kerosene oil is found to be in-
ferior TO cotton seed oil in i;l1mi.
n ting.
n the manusac'ure of pure,
sanitary soap cotton seed olll
used very much.
This product has been used
very successfully in the treatment
of anemla, tuberculosis and in-
digestion.
In conclusion of my discussion
of cotton seed oil, I quote a part
Of a recent speech os DR.. Geo. 81.
Brown before the Georgia Cotton
Seed Crushers' Association, DR..
Brown said:
"The object of the great Ameri-
can -Anti-Tuberculcsls League, ct
which I have jnst resigned from
the presidency, ia to teach people
hygienic living, and I assure you
that we expect to teach them that
cotton seed oil, in all its forms, is
the healthiest, most easily as
simulated and most strengthening
preparation known t6 man, to-
day."
The mass of kernels, left after
the hulls have been removed and
thu oil extracted is called cotton
seed meal.
The wonderful fertilizing value
of this meal has, until a very late
date, been entirely unknown. II
has been estimated that this prod
uct alone increases the value ot
the cotton crop thirtS-Gvo par
cent each year. 1t is. however,
imprudent to use meal directly al
a fertilizer when the fact is taken
into consideration that it may be
used as a food for ANNALS, giving
them health, str,ngth and devel-
opment, and the manure so OBJ
tained lose only ten per cant OF
it's original fertilizing value.
Experiments have shown tha
meal may be used in the making
of bread. lfien pounds of colt
seed meal be- mixed with one hun
dred pounds of -four, the nutritiv
powers of the bread made there
from would be increased eight .pe
cent and would no: be harmful t
the digestive organs. Formerly
The lint was thought to cover tn
whole question of cotton manu-
facture. But now it appears tha
the lint is to be put aside AS n bv
product and the production o
seed products be given tho promi
nence it so rightly deserves.

"Prohibition ia Coming,

The failure Of the present legis-
lature to enact a prohibition law
should not be construed as indi-
eating that there has been wan
ing of prohibition sentiment. On
the contrary, the anti-liquor SEN
timent is stronger IN South Caro-
lima to-day than it has ever been.
The defeat Of prohibition legisla-
tion is due solely and entirely to
the fact that the members of this
Legislature were elected upon the
issue of state or county dispense
ry and local option, and had,
therefore, pledged themselves in
advance to one or the other OF
these policies. Prohibition fol
the state at large was not then an
issue. This accounts fo" the fact
that men who were avowed pro.
hibitionists cast their ballots
against measur.s that provided
for statewide prohibition.
The conditions under which
present lawmakers were electec c
and under which they made theil
pledges to the people, were differ
ent from the conditions that OBJ
tain to-day. The action OF th'
Legislature i'll refusing to pass
statewide prohibition measure
should. therefore, be construed a.
rejecting the sentiment and con
ditlons of two years ago rather
than the sentiment of to-day.
1t is conceded by some o
the leading anti-prohibitionist'
among the Legislators tha:. "pro
hibition is coming They admi
that the antl-whiskey tide i
South Carolina is too strong to b
stemmed by the opposition.

The Prohibition Sentiment in &c,

The Prohibition Sentiment in Ger
many.
We have grown so accustomed
to agitation against drinking of
intoxicants in this country, es-
pecially in the South, that we
would not be- surprised to hear
that congress had passed law
forbidding stimulants in the c,un-
try in any potable form. 1t is ac-
cepted as almost a foregone con-
clusion that the prohibition sem
timent will spread all over the
country in some modified form or
other.
But even to us it sounds queer
ly to hear that eucb a country of
drinkers as Germany is going
over to tho "water wagon" idea
rapidly. Yet such seems to be the
case. Consul Guenther Of Frank
fort writes thai so far has the
fight againet alcoholic orlnks
gore that the wine and liquor
trade Is not in prosperous con-
dition owing to various adverse
causes. Last years vintage was
poor. The frequent court trials
and convictions of parties engsg-
ed in wine adulterAtion have, &C.
cording to statements of wine pro-
ducers, produced prejudice and
distrust in the minds of the pub
lie, thereby lessening the con-
sumption of wine.
The steady agitation of reli-
gious societies against the con-
sumption of alcoholic drinks has
also had an adyersa-etfect. But
.tIse most serious handicap is the
change in the theory of the medi-
cal fraternity IN Germany in re-
gard to the use of spirituous Ii
quor. Formerly the doctors would
in many cases prescribe wine or
brandy as a tonic or vital res
torative to their patients, but of
late these medical men have
adopted 8 new fashion by crying
out against the use of alcoholic
beverages by healthy people as
we'll as invalid. Thus, in many
German families, where Rhine or
red wines were the hahitual liquid
at meals, there is now only the
water decanter or bottles of min
eral water to be seen on the ta-
bles. To guard their health, some
Germans will forego drinking
wine or brandy. Even the brewer
les and beer saloons complain of
this new fad as injuring their
trade.
Ii this sort of thing keeps up it
will be hut a matter of q few
years before the entire civilized
world will be as arid as dasert
as far as Intoxicating drinks are
concerned. Next we will hear taat
Russia has abandoned vodka in
favor of kumiss and that pulque
is no longer manufactured in
Mexico. 1t will soon be time to
call a halt unless the world is
really going dry. Then we will
have prohibition sure enough
