The way our live business men,
those who advertise regularly, do,
just after the holidays. They close
up like 4 clam, SO far as pushing
business is concerned. and if their
customers didn't gress different,
would suppose they had all gone in
search of Cook. They ought to
know, and probably do know, if they
think about it at all, that just after
the holidays is when most of the folks
are in search of bargains, having
bowed themselves on f%oolishness,
ETC., to the full limit. Right now is
the time to tell the people you are
still on earth and have the greatest
bargains ever heard Of. Sure thing.

Turns on she Screws.

We publish on the fourth page OF
this paper an article from the Man
ming Times in reference to how the
Santee River Cypress Lumber Co. is
treating the people from whom 1t
bought the lands it now owns for
telow it's value ou, the other side OF
the Saptee River over in Clarendon
County. Whether the people on this
side of the river are subjected to
the same treatment, we have not
heard. The Times thinks the com
uany is trying to force certain par
t.es who own lands in the Santee
swamp to sell to them, and 1t has
adopted this plan to coerce them in
10 selling
These parties 20 use their lands
as pastures would have to fence
them to keep their stock off the
lands of the Santee River Cypress
Company, which is an impossibility,
and in consequence their lands are
use less to them, In this way the
lumber company hopes to force. the
owners of these lands to sell out to
them on their own terms. AS the
Times says 'if things continue it
will not be long before 1t Will be
impossible to shoot a squirrel, catch
4 fish or do any hunting whatever
without having to pay society, CLUB
or corporation for the privilege or
be liable to land in jail.
The Santee Rive: Cypress Lumber
Company is large concern, whose
zeal owners live North or West. 1t
has acquired large bodies of land
iii this and Clarendon Counties for
W hich it paid very low price. 1t is
one of the chief beneficiarles in this
state of the lumber tax about which
there has been so much discussion
il the last few weeks. AS it has
cnly been established in this sec
ton a few years we suppose it
comes under the head of infant In
uustries which some newspapers are
In favor of protecting.
But from the way ID Is treating

Danger Ahead.

One can hardly help viewing with
uismay the meeting Of the Conserva-
tion Congress at St. Paul next month.
The Pinchot and Ballinger partisans
from everywhere will be back there
n force, and the stalwart Republi-
cans of Minnesota headed by the
Governor, and the insurgents led
by Senator Clapp will back their re-
epective sides, so the Congress IS
likely to be turbulent. President
Taft is to be there and presumably
will endorse Ballinger. Colonel
Roosevelt will be the principle speak
er and undoubtedly will support the
ninchot policy and not mince his
words in doing so. Yes, there can
hardly fail to be some differences of
opinion to say the least. AS the
sialwart Governor Of Minnesota and
;hc stalwart Mayor of st. Paul con-
troll the police power of the State,
the Democrats should hold them
selves in reserve to compel fair play
between the rival Republican fac
tons. Let us have peace and fair
play if we have to fight for it.

The Lu9ubcr Tax.

The following paragraph was pub
llshed in The Times and Democrat
last Saturday:
The Branchrille Journal says
the duty ON lumber is small
one. Will the Journal please give
us the figures and tell us where
to find them.
Here is the answer the Journal
gives to the above:
That Lever tax on lumber was
six per cent. ad valorem one.
Figure up for youruself ho" much
that will be or a thousand feet,
worth $40.
An ad valore,a duty of six per
cent. would come to sixty cents per
thousand on lumber worth SlO per
thousand. That is quite easy, but
that is not the duty Mr.. Lever voted
for. He says he voted for duty OF
81 per thousand. which, on lumber
al $40 per thousand, would be an
I'd yalorem tax OF ten per cent and
not six per cent. as claimed by the
journal. AS a matter of fact. Mr..
Lever did not vote for an ad valorem
duty when he voted for 81 on lum-
Ter. That was specific duty on all
lumber. In addition to the specific
duty, there is an ad valorem duty OF
25 per cent. on lumber. The rs
per cent. ad valcrem duty on lumber
worth $40 per thousand would be
worth: $3.50. To which add the spe-
cific duty of SIPS, and you would
have S3.75 as the duty on lumber
worth $40 per thousand and not GO
cents per thousand as the Journal
claims. This may not be Mr.. Lever s
tax on lumber, but it is,the tax lev
led by the tariff law. We would
ggest that the Journal get this
law and brush up on the tariff be-
fore it attempts to discuss it again

The Dranchville Journal is some
what mixed as to what local option
means. l. does not necessarily meaii
that the county will monoWliZe the

hibition Or the dispensary as they
may see fit. We have local option
iaws now, and under it Oranseburg
