THE SILVER FOX.
He Is Glorified Freak Of the Red
Fox Breed.

He Is a GIorified Freak of the Red
Fox Breed.
Only those wise in the woodlore Of
the north can fully know the magic in
the name silver fox. The silver fox is
not Of different kind. but Slorihed
freak Of the red race. His parents may
have been the commonest kind Of red
foxes, yet nature in extravagant MOOD
NAV have showered all her gifts on
this favored one Of the offspring and
not only clad him in marvellous coat,
but gifted him with speed and wind
and brains above his kind to guard mis-
perilous wealth. And need be has OF
all such power, for this exquisite robe
IS so mellow ricl, so wonderful ID
style, with its gloss black and delicate
frosting, that it is the most desirable,
the most precious Of all furs, worth
many times it's weight in gold, the no.
blest peltry known to man. 1t IS the
proper robe Of kings, the apDanage OF
great imperial thrones today, as was
the tyrian purple in the days Of Rome.
This is indeed the hunters highest
prize, but so guarded by the cunning
brain and the wind and limb Of the
beast himself that it is through rare
coed luck more than hunter skill that
2 few Of these fur jewels are taken
each year in the woods.
There are degrees of rank among
these patricians. They range in quail
ity even as diamonds range, and the
hunters have jargon of their own to
express all shades between the cross
and the finest silver black.-Ernest
THOMPSON Seton in Century Magazine.

A resolution was adopted by
the Florida senate to submit to
the voters of that State a consti-
tutional amendment providing
that voters shall be white male
persons of the age of y and up
wards" It looks to Us as if the
adoption of such resolution will
nullify the franchise clause of the
constitution OF the United States.
But should it stand the test OF the
United States supreme court,
every Southern State will amend
its constitution, and new party
alignments are bound to result.
We have no idea such an amend,
ment to the Florida constitution
can stand.

DEPENDS on WHOSE OK IS GORED.

Senator Tillman, in reply to a
statement made by Senator Nc
Cumber Of North Dakota, that
Southern Democrats are making
stronger appeals for protection
than the Republicans Of the old
school" said I'VE are getting SO
badly mixed here that it IS hard
to tell the sheep from the goats,
and I am afraid that before we
get through there won't be trough
enough for all the hogs to get
their scraps, .
The senior senator from this
State is evidently wondering
where the Democrats are at. The
Democratic platform is altogether
opposed to the principle OF pro.
lection, and yet, the Democratic
representatives, especially from
the South are cIamoring for pro
lection on everything which the
oOUCu Is luGS1 SSCCo III.
Protection for the products of
the North is what made that sec
ton rich, and as long as the South
had no manufacturing, the de-
mand of this section was for free
trade, but a change has come
over this section, the South is
manufacturing more and more
every year, therefore our states
men realize the good Of protec-
ton for US, hence, while they
subscribe to the so.called Demo
cratic principle Of free trade: or
tariff for revenue only: when ii
comes to taking the tariff off OF
southern products the yoke be-
gins to chafe, and they protest.
We do not think the tariff ques-
ton should be considered from a
political standpoint, it IS purely
a matter of business, and politics
should not be allowed to enter IN
to it's consideration. If there are
southern products that protection
will help, by all means letus have
1T.
Our representatives are doing
excellent work for the southern
masses, in having all materla!
which goes to the makeup OF
fertilizers placed on the free list,
it will save untold millions to this
people, and not hurt any industry
in the South, because these ma.
terials come from foreign coun,
tries, and we have no competl-
ton with it, but when it comes to
those articles manufactured IN
foreign countries as well as ours:
America cannot compete with the
pauper labor of Europe and for
that reason protection will be
helpful to US.

It was stated in last Sunday $
newspapers that Senator Smith
contemplated moving to Spartan
burg on account Of its education
al advantages. but the senator,
upon reading the statement gave
prompt denial of it. OF course
he has no idea of moving to
Spartanburg, when Florence
has given him such warm vel,
come. Whenever Senator Smith
gets ready to move from Flor
enco, Manning is entitled to his
first consideration, as it was here
upon our court house square that
Smith began to show to the peo-
pie of the State his size. and the
quality of senatorial timber that
was in him.

WHAT'S The USE TO KICK ,

Editor Cunningham of the
Bishopville Leader and Vindica-
tor, a temperance advocate all OF
his life, does not approve of paid
missionaries being brought to
South Carolina to harangue our
people to vote for prohibition,
and because he entertains such
views. Rev. J. L. Harley the
head of the anti-saloon league in
this State proceeds to blister him.
Our old friend Cunningham,
should he continue his indepen-
dent thoughts and expressions,
will bring down upon his head
the wrath of the intolerant, the
fanatics, and the place seekers.
We quite agree with the Bish,
opville editor in his objections to
hired missionaries. The people
of this State are as capable of
knowing how to vote, as are those
of Ohio and Georgia, they need
nc foreign instructors. Let a man
or woman from some other State
come here to advocate the other
side, there would be howl from
Mr.. Harley and his followers, and
properly SO.
The prohibition movement in
this State is so thoroughly or
ganized, that it is conceded four
ifths of the vote will go for pro
h;bition. and this too, without the
aid of hired missionaries, it is a
sentiment to Try the experiment,
and those who differ from this
conceded sentiment are only wav
ing a red rag in a mad bulls face
when they have the frankness to
express themselves. Therefore.
while we do not relish the idea
of this missionary work, and Go
not agree with the majority on
prohibition. we have decided to
lay down before the prohibition
iuggernaut and take the con-
sequences.

Col. William Jennings Bryan
writes to the Florida legislature
in effect, that congressman Clark
who repudiated the Democracy's
leadership by Bryan, that if
Clark does not voice the senti
ment of his constituents he should
resign. Congressman Clark may
not represent the sentiments of
the Florida legislature, and yet
be in accord with the masses. The
only way to ascertain what the
sentiment of Clark's constituents
is, would be to put Bryan can
didate out against Clark, and
make Bryan the issue. There is
no doubt IN our mind, Bryan can
never again secure the support
of Southern delegations IN a nom
inating convention.
