The Thornwell Orphanage.

This home and school for orphans
is under the control and is the prop
erty of the three Presbyterian syn
ods of South Carolina, Georgia and
Florida. AS Thanksgiving day is
the only day appointed by these
synods to make collections for the
large family of three hundred, all
loyal Presbyterians will on that day
send their gifts or collections to the
home. 1t is located at Clinton, S G..
The Thornwell orphanage receives
pupils from all parts of our common
country. There are now within its
cottages 1873 orphans from South
Carolina, Is from Georgia and 2S
from Florida. This home is unique
in that it does not require release
by guardian or mother of the child;
it gives the child first class liter
ary education, instructs in some
trade, and sends it out fully
equipped for self-care. The child
taking the full course is ready for
life's battles on leaving. The presi-
dent is Rev VIM P Jacobs, Clinton,

Senator Tillman's Joke.

Senator Tillman tells of an old
man he used to know who drank too
much. He said: He was a fine old
fellow in other respects, land it was a
pity to see him disgracing himself.
One day | read him a long article on
the sin of drunkenness. Water ]
said, is the thing. Stick to water,
James
WE'LL the old man answered,
there's only one place in the Bible
where a man asked for water, and |
guess you know where he was.

The Annexation Election

With equanimity, if not actual
satisfaction, the people of Kings
tree seem to regard the transferr-
ing Of certain portion Of Will
ismsburg to Florence county.
tEame have expressed misgivings
: that the establishment of dispen-
saries at Lake City and Scran-
ton would iniure Kingtree CONNER
cially, but most people here re-
gard that as a remote contIn-
gency, as it was distinctly and
unequivocally denied at the out
set of the movement that any
such motive actuated the promo
tsrs. Even supposing the dis
pensaries were established, the
advantage derived would be but
transitory, as within year or
two the question of dlspcnsary
or no dispenSary may again be
submitted to the people OF Will
liamsburs. Tha prohibition law
as now administered in town and
county i; admittedly failure
aud some change will undoubtedly
be made a. soon Is practicable
but that is another matter
which opens a wide field of dis
cussion.
Returning to our muttons, as
the French would say, we think
that the separation of the dlSaf-
fectcd territory from the mother
county is best for both sections.
Where the sentiment for division
is 50 overwhelming, there could
be but little unaninity or co-ope-
ration between the sections ST. aS
best to promote the welfare OF
the whole county. We have left
in Williamsburg ample territory
and ut the present rate of pro-
gress and development, in few
years the waste places will be
built up, the population and rc-
sources multiplied, and We can
possibly spare another slice to
our .Johnsonville friends wien
they get ready to form their new
county. Subtracting the part to
be cut off and Williamsburg still

Curiously, it seems, the Cover.
nor in his proclamation order
ing the annexation election fail
ed to specify the number Of
miles contained in the area af-
fected. Something less than a
hundred miles-a bout ninety
three, we understand - are in
cluded in the territory to be
annexed. but the proclamation,
we think, should have specified
the exact number of miles.

Truth About Milne.

Sufficient time has now passed to

principally upon state and local
issues as the Republican leaders
have tried to represent, The most
prominent issues were:

TO fulfill it's campaign pledge to re-
vise the tariff d ,wnward, high cost
of living, Cannonism' Haleism,
questions pertaini1g g to prohibition.
The Democratic congressional
candidates promised to investigate
and expose the following:
The cost of living as affected by
the tariff and the the trusts. Ex-

Possible Democratic Senate.

1t is not without the range of
possibilities that a Democratic Sen
ate may be returned at the coming
election. There is handicap be-
cause CT the number of Republican
seats that must be won over to ac.
complish that, but the wave of in
surgency and discomfort which is
sweeping the country may not
cease it's flow until numbers of
state have been captured from the
opposition, just as many districts
have already been captured from
the house.
The term of 30 senators will ex-
pire this year. OF these, six are
Democrats; practically sure of re-
election. 1t is not considered pos
sible that there should be n Dem
ocratlc loss OF the remaining "a
the Democrats will have to secure 3
seemingly much to expect. Yet
Democratic success seems quite as
possible III many other states as it
was in Maine, where the Repubh-
cans have just lost senator In
Indiana Senator Beveridge, insur-
gent, has no walk away. This was
once Dem Jcratic state. SO was
Connecticut before factional distur-
Dances In that state there is very
strong opposition to Senator Bulke-
ly' who is looking for re election.
and there is the same fight in the
Republican ranks over the COVER
norship as there was in Maine,
Teere is strong probability that
Hitchcock, Democrat, will be sue
cessful in Nebraska. Missouri, a.
normally Democratic state, has a
senator to elect, the present encum-
bent being republican. Nevada
and Montana have usuaely returned
Democrats. In the latter state in
surgents and Democrats are work
ing together to defeat Senator Car
ter.
The conditions now existing IN
New York, close state, where the
Republicans are seriously split and
the Democrats harmonious. make it
not unreasonable to expect success
there. That Harmon will be re-
elected governor in Ohio seems GER
lain. With him would very likely
go the Legislature, insuring Dem
ocratic senator. In Mississippi
there is possibility of Lodges de
feat 1t is strong Republican
state, but 50 Maine was thought to
be. Arizona and New Mexico
ought to help along. with good
chance in New jersey,
North Dakota and West Virginia.
1t is much 70 expect, but the De-
mocracy has waited long and the
people have suffered much.
