Ellcrbc and Lever.

The News and Courier has been ap-
pealed to by IA Williamsburg Voter"
for its opinion respecting the charge
brought against the Hon. j. T.. Ell
lerhe, candidate for recollection to
Congress in the 9th district, that by
his vote against free lumber when the
Payne tariff bill was under consider
alton 10y Congress some eighteen
months ago, he read himself cut of
the Democratic party. If so, the
Democratic party has ,Iso lost con-
gresham AsburH T.. Lover. of the eth
Congressional district. who is under
criticism on precisely the same
grounds. and probably half of it's
members i'm Congress.
In our Judgment Messrs Ellcrhc
and Lever should have voted for free
lumber, because. as we stated at the
time, duty on lumber amounts i'm
effect to putting premium on the
destruction Of our own forests. Nev-
crth"lcSs. some thirty-Gvc or forty
Democrats i'm the House of Repre-
Scntativcs voted for such a duty.
and while they are properly answer
able To- their constituents as to
whether or not they acted wisely. il
cannot in justice and fairness be
maintained that they thereby wrote
themselves down as Republicans. any
more than 80 or 60 Republicans who
voted for free lumber could now b.,
claimed as Democrats. Party fcalty,
as we conceive it, docs not require
the absolute surrender Of ones own
judgment, although Of course lie who
takes issue with his partys platform
must be prepared TO defend his action
in so doing to his own satisfaction
and that OF his constituents.

Death.

Mrs. Heyman Williams died at her
home in Marion on last Saturday
morning. She formerly resided in
Sumter and is pleasantly remembered
in this city as Miss Aubrey Williams
Her personal beauty and attractive
manners made her a general favorite
with her friends who will mourn her
untmely death at the tender age of
eighteen years. She was married less
than one year ago and removed to
her native home in Marion
The sympathy of the community
goes out to the grief stricken hus-
band, brothers and sisters, in their
peculiarly sad bereavement.

Women's Time Schedules,

Few women speak Of train starting

train, for example, or the 3:12 Three"
will do. 1t bothers a man q heap to
60 hunting for 3 o'clock train by
feminine directions when it is a 3:12
train. For some women "3" will do
for the 2:54 train; it's near enough.
Then the man following feminine di-
rections, unless he is on his guard
against these pitfalls, is lost. Prob
ably If it weren't for his business train

Death of Former CharlcstOnian

telegram has been received from
Toronto, Ont, announcing the death
of Mr.. James Dean Enslow, a former
resident of Charleston, S. c.. He
was we'll known there, while engaged
in business with his father, Mr.
Jospeh A. Enslow. Several years ago
he went to Colorado, where he car
ried on his literary pursuits writing
for papers and magazines. He after
wards got up books of prominent
cities, the first being a handsome
book of his native city. His charm
ing and genial manner endeared him
to many. He is survived by his
wife and three sisters, one of whom
is Mrs. NJ. DeVeaux Moore, of Sum

voted for the Payne bill, as a whole
delegation, their case would have
been different. AS matters stand, the
point really at issue is not the Demo-
cracy Of either of these gentlemen.
but whether or not each of thehm
acted for the best interest of his con-
stitutents and the country. and if
be regarded. We have already stated
our own opinion that Mr.. Ellerbe and
Mr.. Lever should have voted for free
lumber. The effect which his fail
ure to do so should have upon the
candidacy of each of these gentlemen
must be decided in relation to his rec
ord of service, viewed as a whole,
and also with regard to the character
of the candidate OF candidates op-
posing him.
While, therefore, the discussion,
which has been aroused over the lum-
Der vote for these two congressman
has doubtless been interesting and
instructive to percentage of the
voters In the sixth and seventh dis
tricts. and will not be without beneft
upon the South Carolina delegation in
Congress, it is not likely to have a
preponderating effect in shaping the
choice of the next Congressman from
either Of these districts, nor should
1t have. The point at issue in each of
these districts Is which of the mer
seeking to represent the district at
washington is best fitted for that
task in character and general ability.
In the consideration of this problem
the voters cannot afford to shut their
eyes to everything except a single
vote OF a candidate on one clause of
bill against which in it's entirety
the candidate voted
We are not of course, advising the
voters of these two districts that they
should vote for Mr.. Ellerbe and Mr..
Lever. We are merely indicating our
view Of the manner in which they
should arrive at a determination in
this matter.-News and Courier.

Some Random Thoughts.

The Farmers Institute at Shiloh
last Friday was not so we'll attended
on account of fOdder-pulling and so
many political meetings in that sec
ton during the week. Sumter, Clar-
endon, and Florence counties had
campaign meetings and the voters
were quite impartial in their treat
ment of the various campaign parties.
The size of the meeting was no indi-
cation Of the vote, for the voters
were merely comparing the candi-
dates by counties
Well, to go back to the Institute.
Mr. A. G. Smith talked about an
hour and a-half on tile drainage and
farm management to a very thought
ful bunch of some thirty or forty
farmers. The entire institute being
confined to these two subjects, Il is
very probable more good was done
than if the program had been carried
out in full
In regard to the fight on the Union
Brokerage Company: Where there Is
SO much smoke, there is bound to be
some fire. And, however foolish
such cause may be, somebody
must be saying spiteful things against
the farmers business enterprises.
Perhaps the fact that we get on 10
these schemes and know more of
certain plans than we publish has
done much to prevent an open fight.

would be a great step toward prac-
tical prohibition when not a news
paper in this State would carry a
whiskey 'ad." and the papers that
wish to be the leaders of the thought
of the State cannot begin too soon to
cut out this source of revenue. They
may be leaders now, or think they
are, but sooner or later no paper that
carries a whiskey "ad" will stand
any higher in the State than the DOOR
fellows who succumb to their allur-
ing advertisements; and who cannot
get job on the very papers that tell
them where to buy their best or
worst (just as you please) booze!

would like to know who more inter-
ested in sobriety and peace than we
farmers in the unpoliced rural dis
tricts? Just as 1 think the farmers
and producers are vitality interested
in peace, for the burden of war
ultimately falls on us; and the middle
men, and spectators, still trusts
and money trusts place burdens on
us in year or two of war that two
generations cannot shake off. We are
still bearing the burdens Of the war
of 1S6165 and our children's chill
dren will be bearing the burdens of
the Spanish war and that unholy war
for Philippine subjugation. If this
is not good farmers union doctrine,
then pray what is?
