DEMOCRATS CRITICISED.
Have Failed in Contrast with Achieve
ments of Republicans.

We call the attention of the Amer
ican people to the fact that none OF the
great measures here advocated by the
Republican party could be enacted and
none of the steps forward here pro-
posed could be taken under Demo-
cratic administration or under one in
which party responsibility is divided
The continuance of present policies
therefore. absolutely requires the con-
tinuance in power OF that party which
believes in them and which possesses
the capacity to put them into opera
ton.
Differences Of Parties.
Beyond all platform declarations
there are fundamental differences be-
tween the Republican party and ita

worthy and tine other unworthy Of pub

Democracy and Republicanism Is that

hood has been lifted to a nobler sense
of duty and obligation. Conscience and
courage in public station and higher
standards of right and wrong in privat g

The great accomplishments of President
Roosevelt have been, first and foremost
a brave and impartial enforcement of
the law, the prosecution of illegal trusts
and monopolies. the exposure and pun

ice, the more effective regulation of the

Washington, D. CDR. Harvey
w. Wiley, food expert of the Govern
ment has few simple rules for eat
ing and drinking during the heated
term. Here are his commandments:
Eat one-fourth less in summer than
in winter.
Eat meat in moderation. Select
the lighter meats.
Danish all alcoholic beverages.
Eat most largely of cooked fruits
and vegetables.
Drink nothing below sixty degrees
in temperature, and drink sparingly.
. Be careful to seek the society of
cheerful friends.
Practice moderation in open air ex-
ercise.
Don't fret; don't worry.
Thousands of people are made
sick in summer because they do not
know how or what to eat" observed
DR.. Wiley. But the same criticism
applies to the winter season as we'll.
Few people follow definite rules.
Moderate eating, moderate drinking.
moderate exercise in the open air and
cheerful friends will keep any good
man alive through the summer.
Eating in summer should be di-
minished by about one-quarter, mas
much rs the heat energy is one-ouar-
ter less than in winter.
Fruits and vegetables are the nor

are cooked. If eaten raw they

Address by Governor Ansel.

Spartanburg, Special.-The pres
ence of Gov. Ansel and the usual
great interest in the occasion caused
fully 5000 people to gather at Cedar
Springs to attend the annual closing
exercises of the Goth session of the
South Carolina School for the Deaf
and Blind. While possibly 1000
people gained entrance to the build
ing, hundreds were turned away who
spent the day in true camp meeting
style.
The exercises were exceedingly in
teresting, bringing out the work of
this splendid institution, whose lab
ors for the afflicted children of the
State are so generally appreciated.
The graduates to whom Gov. Ansel
awarded diplomas are Annie
Pauline Crisp, Osgood Andrew Darby,
Annie Louise Dwight, Maud Lee
Edwards, Edith Eula Edwards, Mar
garet Ella Hudson, FREDERICK fr'''-
Hugh Livingston, Hennie Matilda
Virginia Mary Rector.
Near the conclusion of the pro-
gramme, Gov. Ansel was presented
by Col. T. j. Moore, and made a
brief but indeed, a most appropriate
and beautiful address to the students.
He PAID high tribute to Mr.. N. Z.
Walker, the head of the institution
and to his sons, who are engaged in
the same work, two of them in other
States. Gov. Ansel, after dining with
Walker, held public
reception during the afternoon for
more than an hour and shook hands

receiver for Ed Kessie, the largest
merchant of Calhoun Falls. Kcssie
states in his petition that his assets
are $4,000 and his liabilities about
5000; that the reason for wanting
a receiver is because his creditors
are pushing him and he wanted the
court to take charge of his affairs.
Mr.. McCord was empowered to buy
and sell and to conduct the business
as he saw fit. His bond was fixed
at $4,000, which was prmoptly mace.

Or for any person to sell to man
who does not have such license.
Such licenses should be issued by
county and city, a reasonable fee
being about SIS a year for county
licenses and from 81 to So a year for
city. This would bring in a larger
revenue than under the present
license system, and would put the
burden where it belongs.
Each license thus issued should
have attached thereto photograph
of the person taking it out, so there
could be no using of the license ex-
cept by this man. 1t should also
contain a provision that a conviction
for drunkenness at any time would
be punished by revocation of the
license for a period of six months or
year. This appears TO me to be the
