TuLMaN Is RIGHT.

Senator Tillman declined the
invitation TO attend the luncheon
that certain citizens" viii give 10
honor of President Taft in Co.
lumbia on November 9th. and his
letter to the Secretary Of the
Chamber OF Commerce giving his
reasons for declining is indeed a
hot tomale. While we do not see
any necessity to read the Colum-
bians a lecture on good manners,
we quite agree with the Senator
that it is unusual to invite gen.
tlemen to a luncheon and make
the condition of acceptance a
price, in this case $40. It was
our understanding .hat the city
Of Columbia through its chamber
of commerce invited President
Taft to visit Columbia, and it was
given out that Columbia would
have the President as her guest.
Committees were appointed in
Columbia, outsiders were not con-
suited, then when invitations
were sent out. the guests were re
quested to accompany their ac-
ceptaace with $40. THE TINES

II Senator Til!man goes to the
State Fair as is his custom. the
committee had better not ask him
to make a speech on the fair
grounds, # he speaks he will like
ly have something to say to Ger:
tain citizens who have been nag
ging at him because he would not
consent to encouraging Colum-
bias idea Of entertaining guests.
We very freqently differ with the
senior Senator, but in this mat
ter he is absolutely right. We too
had an invitation to the luncheon.
but we declined to attend for the
same reasons as those given by
the Senator. but instead Of writ
ing the committee an offensive
answer we simply declined in as
polite a manner as we knew how.
in our humble judgment Colum-
bia. in this matter has exhibited
a cheap-skate manner. but then,
something had to be done to help
out certain citizens" who are
running the Taft luncheon's hnan
cial affairs.

DO NOT GET SCARED.

The cotton mills are carrying
their threat to shut down their
plants on account of the high
price of cotton and yet the price
is advancing. We sometimes
think the American splnners are
the victims OF the foreign manu-
facturers just as the cotton grow
erS were once the victims OF the
Texas growers. a number Of
years ago Texas was about to
make a bumper crop, and they
Knew that if their crop was put
on the market with all of the
other cotton made in the South,
the price would be far below the
cost of consumption, so they sent
a Mr.. Terrill all over the cotton
belt to urge the growers to hold
their cotton, promising that Tex
as would hold, our farmers be-
lieved this man and they held.
while Texas slipped her cotton
to the mills and got fair price,
and our people got less than
the cost Of making the staple.
ever since then the farmers have
been hard to get organized and
still harder to stay organized: all
because they were humbugsed.
Now comes the English mills
urging the manufacturers to cur
tail their operations, and the
movement to shut down in Amer
ican has begun, but instead Of
the price falling as the English
mill people hope for the price is
advancing, and it will continue
to advance, because the demand
and price Of the manufactured
product justifes higher prices,
ard besides. the cost Of every
thing else is advancing, then why
not cotton?
We do not advise the holding
Of cotton at present prices but we
do believe before next March we
Will see the price nearer twenty
cents than fifteen. But do not let
your creditors wait, pay your
debts first and then if there is any
cotton left hold 1t.

ARE THEY MARRIED:

If under our law, when a man
and a woman openly acknowledge
themselves man and wife, and
follow it with cohabitation, they
are married in the eyes Of the
law" Then we cannot see the
force Of Judge Aldrich's decision
recently made at Anderson in a
case of q petition to annul the
marriage relation between two
persons who had been living to-
gether as man and wife. and op-
enly acknowledging themselves
as man and wife: bat who had
never had a marriage ceremony
performed, now they agree to
separate and to prevent their be-
ing arrested for bigamy, in case
they should marry, they are pray
ing for a legal separation, but
Judge .A!drich decides that while
they ere man and wife in the eyes
of the law, because Of their hav-
ing openly lived as such, yet
there not having been marriage
ceremony, there was no marriage
contract and the decree was re-
fused.
Here is case Of a man being
married and not married at the
same time. Should he marry
some one else, he is liable to be
punished for bigamy, and should
he have property the woman he
has been living with would have
no dover in that property. It
strikes us that this is q matter
for the lawyers in our legislature
to look after.
