Ready for independence.

The Philippine assembly Friday, on
the eve of adjournment, declared by a
vote of 81 to - that independence was
the aspiration of the Filipino people and
that they are ready for immediate indie
pendence. Speaker Osmena, in address
ing the House formally at the close of the
session, brought up the question. He
said that it was his aspiration to have
independence. The people wanted it and
there acts and achievements showed that
they are capable of receiving it. The
progressista party leaders demanded
separate vote on the question, their
spokesman declaring that the people are
not yet ready for complete independence.
All wanted independence, he said, some
day but the time was not yet ripe for it.

privileges. and they will care for
the lower classes who have nd
privileges. Noblesse oblige! Such
is the philosophy which Mr.. Taft
represents. The antithesis of dem
ocracy, it proposes patronage
from above instead of growth from
within.
And as with Mr.. Taft the candi-
date, SO with his platform. In
spirit and letter it is the platform
of party that contemplates privi-
leges for the few and protection
for the many.
The Republican platform boasts
that the wealth OF the United
States is $4,000, 900, 900; but it is
discretely silent about the distri-
button of that wealth.
In considering the question Of
the accumulated wealth of coun-
try with reference to the boasts of
a political party long in power, it
is much more important to know
how the accumulated wealth is
divided than how much it foots up

COMPETITION

Bryan has good deal to say
about returning to the good old
days of competition. He assumes
that competition can be restored
by legislation. w. ID. Wattles
says: Competition in business
originates in the idea of u limited
supply. 1t grows out of the sup
position that because there is not
enough to go round, men must COM
pete with each other for what there
is.
is there any truth in this idea
that competition is necessary? Let
us see. The things that are es-
sential to life and advancement.
mental and physical, are food. cloth
ing, shelter. education and amuse-
ment. For three of these, food
clothing and shelter. we look to the
world of nature for supply. These
three with their appurtenances and
extensions in the way of luxuries.
decorations. art and beauty. con-
stitute what we call wealth. Is
there any limitation to the supply
of these?
Take into consideration, first
the question of food supply In
this country we have not yet be-
gun to sound the possibilities Of
extensive agriculture. Texas. il
all its resources were organized for
the production of food. would pro-
duce enough to feed the whole
present population Of the globe,
and feed them we'll.
There is. therefore no need for
men to compete with each other
in order to get enough to eat
AS to the second essential.
clothing. we find the same true
The supply of clothing is inexhaus-
tible. No need to compete with
one another here: no need for one
to go in sackcloth that another may
wear purple and fine linen: there
are purple and fine linen for all.
'As to shelter the same condi-
tions prevail. There are great
banks of clay waiting to be made
into bricks and tile: there are vast
lodges of building stone unquarriesl
MS yet, 1t is an undisputcd fact
that u mansion finer than Wander
bits might bc erected for every
family in America. No need
for some To live in novels in order
that others may bc dclicatcly
housed! -
Modern machinery has solved
the problem of production. The
producing power of labor hns been
multiplied by six hundred in Il
little more than n generation. Ia
making nails. for instance. one man
does the work which required ,
thousand men one hundred year
ago; and the same is approximate.

with such an abundance in thu

ST rong, Manly Defense.

In his argument against the
Especial box" resolution before
the county Democratic e1scutivs
committee on Saturday Hon. j.
William Thurmond took astrong
and manly stand for prohibition
in our, town and county. He stated
that he was an ardent advocate Of
tho di,pensary and believes now
that it accomplished much good
in closing up the barrooms
throughout the state, but since
prohibition has been tried every
ore is compelled to admit that
conditions have impr owed .tre-
mendously. Mr.. Thurrnoud stated
that in his Judgment not one
twenty-ff.h as much whiskey is
sold now as was sold before pro-
hibition went into effect.
He stated further that a farmer
who resides SONS twelve miles
above Edgefe!d recently told him
of the very marked improvement
in the conditions upon his farm
since the legal sale of liquor was
abolished. Whereas formerly When
his tenants came to Edgefeld and
purchased supply Of liquor from
the dispensary he could scarcely
manage them, while now they
give him no trouble.

Map of Edgefield County.

While in conversation with
Prof. Jerome II. Courtney sever
al days ago, he informed US that
he is contemplating making a
map of Edgeield county. There is
now no complete map of the eoua-
lty in existence except the old,
out.of-daSe Bolas map which was
made in 1871. Since that date,
Aiken, Saluda and Greenwood
counties have been formed, which
not only reduced the area but
very materially changed the
boundary lines Of the old counsy
There is great need for map of
Edgefeld county as it exists to-
day, giving the townships, public
roads, principal streams, location
of churches, principal school
house, country residences, towns,
railroads, etc. This is a gigantic
undert aking. but we know of no
one who IS better qualified for the
work than Prof, Courtney. Ge re-
csived his technical straining at
the Citadel and has bad much
actual experience in surveying.
In fact, he assisted Mr.. w. H.
Nicholson in making survey OF
the entire boundary line of the
county several years ago, and has
the field notes of this survey now
in his possession, which would
very materially aid him in the
contemplated undertaking. We
trust that Prof. Courtney will
meet with sufficient encourage
ment to cause him to begin work
at once.
