BIG TIME AT CLOVER.

Everybody who went to Glover on
Wednesday to attend the picnic an
nounced to be given under the auspi-
ces Of the Heptasophs, went with the
expectation Of having good time and
so far as the record goes none were
disappointed, and II there were any
1t certainly was not the fault of the
committee in charge or Of the people
of Glover generally. So far as the
weather was concerned 1t was all that
could have been desired-a typical
August day, clear and warm, yes hot,
but the crowd did not seem to mind
that.
1t is estimated that the crowd num-
bered from 1900 to 1900, and they
came from all the surrounding coun-
try and from various points up and
down the railroad, and commenced to
gather early in the day.
OF course baseball was the leading
attraction. There were two games,
one In the forenoon and the other In
the afternoon. The morning game
was between a picked team represent
ing the Glover Cotton Mill and the
Begonia teams and although 1t was q
seven inning affair was greatly enjoy
ed by the large crowd that witnessed
it. It was apparent almost from the
start that the mill team was outclass-
ed by the visitors, but notwithstand-
ing this fact they made a plucky
fight and as a result the score at the
wind-up stood 8 to In favor OF the
visitors. The game was called at the
end Of the seventh inning because OF
the fact that the hour had arrived
for the delivery Of speeches by sever
al invited speakers. The crowd re-
paired to the grounds In the rear OF
the Presbyterian church where
speeches were made by Congressman
d. E. Finley, Hon. T. B. Butler and
Solicitor ]. X. Henry, all avowed can
didates for the position Of represen-
tative in congress from this district
at the election to take place in Au-
gust, 1910, and Mr.. ]. B. Sloan, dis
trict organizer for the Heptasophs.
The congressional candidates did
not have a great deal to say about
matters political, but addressed them
selves to the subject Of fraternity, all,
of course, heartily approving Of the
aims and objects Of the Heptasophs,
and all other similar orders. Aftef
the speaking was over. dinner was
spread out and there was an abun-
dance for all, and to spare.
In the afternoon the second ball
game was called at about o'clock.
The contest was between Lowryyille
and Glover and although there were
a number Of errors, especially on the
part of the visitors, the game was q
good one. At the close Of the ninth
inning the score stood to in favor
Of Clover While 1t Is generally con-
ceded that In no town anywhere Is
there a larger population Of baseball
enthusiasts than in Glover, 1t is safe
to say that no where do the ladies,
old, young and little girls, display as
much interest and become as enthu-
siastic as do those at Clover, and
their enthusiasm. on Wednesday was
fully up to their average.
Taken all in all, the day was a
complete success and, there was not
single incident throughout to, in any
way, mar the pleasure Of the occa-
sion. The Yorkville Cornet Band was
on hand and dispensed high class
music at intervals throughout the
day.

THE fact that the Cretans offered
no resistance to the cutting down of
the Greek flag seems to indicate that
all they want is protection from the
Turks. When the forces Of the allied
powers, which had occupied Canae
since 1897, were withdrawn during the
latter part of last month, the Turks
resumed sway and that move aroused
the Cretans almost to desperation. So
long as the allies will continue to oc-
cupy Canea there will be no trouble.

viction is growing that the real solu-
tion of the problem lies, not so much
in gathering all the dependent girls

vate families throughout the state

AS a temporary measure of relief

rwo TONS OF GOLD

There were two tons of gold mon
ey piled up in the California state
treasury, one day last week. and It
amounted to s9i9.4O6. This sum
was the taxes paiG by four rail-
roads. What pleasant thing to
contemplate that the soulless rail-
roads should pay this money and
that the poor taxpayer should be re-
lieved of the burden! sf .~ q
In this connection, it, is interesting
to inquire where these two tons of
gold came from2 Was Il eonoreted
from the sunshine, or baled up out
of the river, or have the railroads a
big cave somewhere, where they go
in and shovel it out. Being little
interested in this matter, we asked
railroad man where the four rail-
roads got those two tons of gold, and
he said they got it off of the people,
of course
When we asked him if they didn't
have some alchemical device for pro-
ducing the gold or some subterranean
labyrinth where they could scrape It
up with hoe, he laughed in DISCUS.
and almost swore at the absurdity of
1t, and exclaimed, "why, no: when
the public asks a thousand dollars
of us we call on the people to pony
up; there is no other way. So the
people think they have put it on
the railroads; that seems to satisfy
them"
And that Is true as to all other
taxes, and il is the art of the states
man to keep up the deception. If he
can make the man who works be-
lieve that the extravaganza of gov
ernment is paid by the nabols and
the interests, instead of out of wages
Of toll he fortines himself in the
leisure and luxury of position.
II the people of this country could
be made to feel the burden that they
bear instead of being deceived by IL,
they would take a deep interest in
the affairs of government and make
prohigacy impossible in high positions
II we had n tax system that would
90 at the people directly, instead OF
in roundabout way the RESPONSE
bilities of government would be felt
and the people wou;d see things as
they are.-Ohio State Journal.

One way to have enough money TO
pay the public expenses is to con-
duct the peoples affairs in an econo-
mical and careful manner. II the
public revenues are dissipated in ex-
travagance and wastefulness there
will be deficit. There is no escape
from that result A writer of the
early world declared when the
wicked rule the people mourn" and
that is as true today as it was then.
Likewise it is true that the careful

moneys will conduce to the satisfac-

ASTRONOMICAL EVENTS.
pROHIBlTlvE TARIFF A
y MEANS OF EXTORTI0N

The power to levy taxes is one OF
the great prerogatives OF government
ana Il must be used with conserva-
tism and wisdom. This fact has al
ways been recognized by every re-
spectable writer. Hence, we take the
position that radical prohibitive and
extortionate duties, under the shelter
OF which monopolies may be organic
"a, are indefensible And much less
should consumers remain silent when
there is a proposition to raise the
duties on stockings, gloves, glass
ware, earthenware, cotton and wool
en- weaves or anything which now is
carrying hign and even excessive
tariffs The effect of a prohiDitive
tariff is:
i. To prevent all importations and
hence all revenue to the government
on that article OF goods.
si2. To give the American producers
an exclusive market.
a'3. To afford an opportunity for
tile American producers to erect a
monopoly and charge excessive
nrices.
"a. To give the American produc-
4fs the opportunity to coerce labor
and make their own terms to the
Wageworkers, thereby giving the cap
italists an unfair and improper ad-
vantage over the laboring men.
II thus observes the ambitions OF
the rich and powerful and serves to
rivet fetters about the limbs of pov.
erty The writer is an employer OF
labor but he is opposed to placing
the handicap of governmental nonop-
olies upon the workers.
But some one may ask How does
1866 per cent. tariff under which is
fostered monopoly put shacl,les
upon labor? Well, with such a tariff
wall as those figures erected no com.
peting goods could get in this coun'
try. That is clear, They couldn't
afford to make the goods and shiT

easy to organize monopoly as has
been done in many lines of business
like thread, beef, oil, coal, lumber
and dozens of other trusts and with
the power of production thus gather
ed into the hands OF one set of mel
they could dictate terms to the wage
workers. II the men In the work
shops should not accept their terms
then they could turn them out and in
yite anybody to take their places.
But If tariffs are maintained a
reasonable figures, the chance TO
labor is better than it is under do
mestic monopoly because the powe
Of the capitalist is not so unques
toned and arbitrary, For the abov
reasons we are opposed about equal,

World.

It is intimated that the President
IS in favor of all the tariff revision
downwards but does not think much
of the efforts made to push up the
schedules and If that is done he will
veto the bill. He is reported as not
desiring to dictate to the coordinate
body but will maintain his own pre-
negatives without compromise In
the Presidents speech of acceptance
ne said
THE tariff in number of the
schedules exceeds the difference be-
tween the cost of production of such
articles abroad and at home includ-
ing reasonable profit to the Ameri-
can producer, The excess over that
difference serves no useful purpose,
but offers temptation to those
who would monopolize the production
and sale of such articles in this coun-
try to profit by the excessive rate"
If he will stick to that he will find
that while he may have trouble with
the magnates of monopoly the people
will appreciate ii. A veto of a tarifi
for monopoly would clear the atmos-
phere.
