MR.. Theodore Roosevelt stepped
down and out Of the White House yes
terday, and is now making prepara-
tions to start for Africa. AS to just
what kind Of an estimate to put upon
Mr.. Roosevelt, we do not exactly
know. At times we have thought that
he was remarkably fearless In the
cause Of right, and at other times we
have thought that he was deliberately
wrong. For instance, there have long
been on the statute books stringent
antitrust laws. AS to whether these
laws are practicable, there Is reason to
doubt; but there Is no doubt OF the
fact that they should be enforced as
long as they are laws. 1t is a fact
that no other president has made a
really serious effort to enforce the
laws against the trusts. The Standard
Oil is the biggest trust except posi-
bly, the United States Steel corpora
ton. AS we understand 1t, one Is just
as much in violation of the law as the
other. Mr.. Roosevelt made great
show of attacking and breaking down
Standard Oil. He was the steadfast
friend and partisan Of United States
STEEL In all his public utterances,
Mr.. Roosevelt seemed to stand for hon
esty and decency, and against the use
of trust money in carrying elections
Judge Parker accused him of being
the beneficiary Of contributions from
the insurance companies and rail-
roads. He denounced Judge Parker's
charges as untrue; but in subsequent
development of insurance scandals,
etc., and by the testimony Of Harri-
man and others, the charges were
shown to be true. The thing looked
bad, and it looks bad yet. Possibly
it may be cleared up some day. But
there is no use to try to deny the fact
Mr. Roosevelt has given the country
a remarkable administration. He Is
being kicked right and left now in all
quarters; but We have not been able
to see that anybody has been able to
bring him into serious discredit. 1t
would be foolish to deny that he could
have gotten another nomination if he
had wanted it, and there is little rea-
son to doubt that he could have again
been elected. AS to whether Mr..
Roosevelt will ever be president again
it would be foolish to predict. Eight
years is very long time in politics.
Even four years is a long time. But
Mr.. Roosevelt is still a young man
comparatively speaking, and whether
we like it or not, we expect him to
figure quite conspicuously in the af-
fairs of this country and of the world
for some time to come.

Glover, March 5.-While 1t Is q fact
that business Is not so brisk at this
time as 1t probably would be were cot
ton bringing 12a cents, still there is
something doing. The people are not
buying heavily because their needs are
small at this time, as they usually are
at this season. The farmers are haul
ing out fertilizers quite freely. Some
who are posted express the opinion
that there will be little, If any differ
ence in the total sales this season as
compared with last. The demand for
corn and meat so far has been much
less than last year up to this time.
Although there have been no DEN
mite developments as yet, 1t Is quite
likely that the matter OF building
cotton seed oil mill at this place viii
take shape at an early day, as a num-
ber of the leading business men are
Considering the proposition seriously
and it is safe to say that If they decide
that the enterprise shall be launched,
it will be pushed to completion and
success. There is no doubt Of the
fact that Glover offers an inviting neld
for such an enterprise.
For sometime past the State news
paper has been inviting Its readers TO
suggest a name for Columbia's 1908
baseball team, the idea being to adopt
the name that receives the largest
number of votes by certain date.
Among names suggested are the Pal
mettoes" the Chicks" and the Semi
noles." Recently one Of Clovers most
popular citizens and one who invested
in a block Of Seminole Securities stock
last summer addressed a postal card
to the State on which he wrote: call
ii Seminole. The ball will go into the
hands of q receiver; the other fellow
will be down and out and Columbia
will have a run for her money" The
vote was recorded but his reasons were
omitted.
"Out in the Streets" is the title Of
a play that Is to be presented In the
local opera house on Friday night OF
next week by local talent under the
auspices Of the Ladies' Aid society OF
the Glover A. r. Presbyterian church,
and 1t is safe to predict that there Is
a treat in store for each one who at
tends.

Glover has been in position to offer
as much or more for cotton during the
present season as any Of the surround

more cotton has been sold mere tnan

vote. This would have allowed him
to move to reconsider and have anoth-
er vote on the bill. The speaker in
formed him that the vote had been
announced and his request came too
late. Thirty Republicans voted against
the measure and four Democrats for
it. The Democrats voting for the bill
were: Bartlett (Nev.), Estopinal Ga.),
Hobson (Ala.), Jones (Va.)

1t is proper to state that the new
part of the Yorkville cemetery was
surveyed and plated under the direc-
ton of the Cemetery association sew
eral years ago. The plat is now in
possession of the officers Of the asso-
citation, and any lot in the cemetery
(new part) can be located at glance.
And it is proper to repeat also that
If the public had only kept up with the
facts that have been recorded from
lime to time, it would appreciate that
the association has done lot Of good
work with very little general assist
ance.

WE believe that Mr.. Taft is going to
make a good president and that he Is
going to have the support Of the en-
tire country to a more marked extent
than any president who has occupied
the White House during the past fifty
years. That is the way things look
now; but there is no way Of judging
such things with certainty, in advance.
We can only await developments.

The regular monthly meeting of the

Fire In Rock Hill.
The Record, yesterday: This morn
ing at 1.30 an alarm was turned In
and It was discovered that the Rock
Hill Pepsi Cola plant was on fire. The
fire company responded promptly, but
before they could get in very effective
work the plant and that Of the Rock
Hill Coca Cola plant were practically a
total loss. The laundry, which is very
aged very little. The reporter saw Mr..
s. N. Sowell, proprietor Of the Pepsi
Cola plant, and he states that his loss
will be somewhere between four and
five thousand dollars, with about $1,000
insurance. He was not positive as to
the exact amount and had not had time
to investigate 1t. His plant is total
loss, there being nothing left that will
be Of any value unless 1t Is his safe.
Mr. Mauldin's plant was well insured
and his loss will not be large. He
telegraphed to Charlotte this morning
for a car of coca-cola SO that he could
supply his trade. The buildings be-
longed to Mr.. VIM. M. Mitchell, and
Of course were insured, but we do not
know for what amount The building
Of the pepsi-cola plant is total loss
practically, and the wall will have to
be torn down. It Is not known how
the fire originated.
Counting the Mail.
The Federal law requiring all mail
carriers on rural routes to count ev-
cry piece Of mail they handle went
into effect March /. Every mail car
rier in York county and throughout
the United States from now on will
be required to count the number Of
pieces Of mail they handle. The OBJ
ject In requiring rural carriers to
count the pieces Of mail Is to enable
the postoffice department to ascertain
Just about how much mail Is carried
on each route, and will be in effect
only thirty days. The carrier must
count each piece Of mail on going out
and also the number Of pieces he COL
lects along his route during the day.
The average for the month will be
taken by the postoffice department as
indicating the amount Of mail busi-
ness Of each route. The move on the
part Of the postoffice department is
understood to be the result Of laws
recently enacted prohibiting newspa-
pers and other periodicals sending a
long string of papers on which sub
scriptions have not been paid, In con-
sequence Of which publishers have had
to discontinue papers in many cases
and thus greatly diminish the Quanti-
ty of mail handled by the postofice
department Those, however, who
handle more than five thousand pieces
of mail each month are exempt from
the new law. Counting each piece ev-
cry day will be laborious work, and
many carriers are hoping their pa
irons will remember them by writing
as many postal cards as possible, so
as to bring their mail up to the re-
quired five thousand pieces.
