THE PLEBEIANS.
Their Secession From Rome and Their
Rise to Power

Rise to Power.
Plebeians were the commons Of
Rome. who were originally forbidden
all political rights. They were for the
most part poor and were not allowed
to iutermauy with the patricians
They served in the army without pay
and were sold into slavery for debt
and could even be cut into pieces foI
distribution among their creditors.
Finding their condition intolerable
the plebcians in 40T b. c. seeded q
Nous Sacer, near Rome, where they
resolved to build a new city. But thil
step so alarmed the privileged classe
that they granted to the commons thu
right Of annually choosing from theA
own numbers two magistrates, called
tribunes. with power TO protect them
against the aggressions Of the patri-
clans
After the lapse of about 200 years
the disabilities Of the plebeians were
almost entirely removed, and between
the years $4,000 B. G. they secured
the dictatorship, the censorship and
the praetorship as we'll as the right TO
be pontif and augur. Thus the Ro-
man republic, after two centuries of
existence, finally secured a democratic
form Of government. - New York

Some Random Thoughts.

What with the late and cold spring.
and too much rain in June, July.
with hot rainy weather in October,
it looks like the cotton crop viii
be SO short that the price may again
reach 20 cents per pound, not on q
speculative squeeze, as in August, but
for steady market. If it does re-
main for any length of time steady
at the figures now prevailing or the
higher figures that seem so sure to
prevail, there will have to be a re-
adjustment of a great many values.
Land which is already so high it is
cheaper to rent at what some years
ago would have been a buying price.
than to buy will go still higher
And rents will have to advance to be
in the right relation to the value OF
the land.
Interest rates will go down be-
cause of the abundance of money
and the purchasing power of a dol
lar will be so far deprecated that as
some one has said the dollar and it's
interest at the end of the year will
not be worth the dollar that was
loaned out at the beginning. Well,
It's a long lane that has no turning"
and for many years the borrowers
mad to pay interest and repay loans
in money that was constantly in
creasing in value. SO now it seems
that the borrower will pay interest
ard repay loans in money that has
less and less purchasing power.
Some years ago Senator Tillman
said in a speech at Memphis, Tenn.
They taunt us with wanting a so
cent dollar, 1 hurl back at them that
they want 200 cent dollar" We
wonder what kind it will be called
now?
We have thought for many years
that rents should be in part of the
crop grown on the land. In the
years of low prices the landlord
would have shared in the depression.
and now in the years of high prices.
he would share in the increase. And
there can be no question that when
he or she is dependent on rents for
support, where those rents are IN
money, on the same basis of = the
years of low prices or even of 10
cent cotton, that support lis very
much curtailed now on account of
the smaller purchasing power of the
dollar.

FUNDS TO SECURE RAILROAD.
Darlington Citizens Raise Money for
McBee Line-BOnd Limit Reached.

Darlington, Oct. "A mass meet
ing of the citizens was held this af-
ternoOn to consider the question of
financing the proposition to give
the new railroad from McBee to
Darlington a right Of way through
the town and a depot site. Recently
there was an election on the uues-
ton of issuing $4,000 worth Of
bonds for this purpose, and it was
voted about three to one TO issue the
bonds. 1t now appears that the
proposed aid offered the railroad will
cost about $4,000. The constitu-
tional limit has been reached. and it
becomes necessary to raise $4,000
otherwise. A committee was appoint
ed to devise plans whereby it may
be done. Torty-two Of the leading
citizens have pledged themselves as
individuals to provide the necessary
amount and thus the new railroad
is assured. 1t is true that it Is un-
derstood that the town will eventual
~ relieve these citizens Of this OBJ
legation, but regardless of this under
standing these patriotic men have
provided the wherewithal for a new
railroad.

REBELS TURN UPON CLERGY.
Priest Slain in Attack Upon Jesuit
Monastery.

Lisbon, Oct. 8.-The proclamation
of the Republic of Portugal is being
received by the people generally i'm
a matter Of fact way. While order
mas been in a measure restored, the
fear still prevails that the attacks
against the religious establishment
may become general. The marked
feature of the situation now is the
resentment shown by a portion of the,
populace against the clergy.
Last night the Republican troops.
attacked the Jesuit monastery in the
Rau do Quelhas, after they had been
fired upon from the windows. One
priest was killed and the others were
placed under arrest
The hosting of the British flag
over the building had the effect OF
checking the five oil the troops.
Armed bands have descended upon
the houses Of various officials close
ly affiliated with the monarchy. but
''iS iiOuoSS were lOunu empty and
the property was not damaged.
Because of this condition Of affairs.
police measures have been increased
and patrOlling parties have been sent
out to guard against maurauders and
rioters. The Government has grant
ed amnesty in the case of all political
crimes and has revived a former law
increasing the liberty of the prcss.
One of the most interesting features
in the new regime will be the line
up of the different parties in the
constituent Assembly.
All the old party groupings have
disappeared and there must spring
up new divisions. A majority OF the
party organs. such as those repre-
senting the conservatives, the pro-
gressives and the regenerators. have
suspended issue.

GERMAN POTASH DISPUTE.
Attempted VitiatiOn OF Contracts
Cause Of Contentious.

Berlin, Oct. 9.-One of the most
vigorous and stubborn diplomatic
fights ever put up by the United
States is now going on quietly in Ber-
lin in connection with the German
Governments crusade against the
American potash interests
The battle has been raging for
several weeks and the end is not yet
in sight On the American side it is
being conducted by Ambassador Hill,
with the special assistance Of NJ. II.
Davis of the commercial division Of
the State department, and the ad-
ivsory cooperation of leading men
of the American potash and chemical
trades. headed by Robert S. Bradley
Of Boston, president Of the American
Agricultural Chemical Company. and
s. T. Morgan, Of Richmond, presi-
dent Of the Virginia Carolina Chemi-
cal Company other interests involv-
ed are mainly those Of the great
Chicago packers who have sent a
delegation here specially to watch
their end of the negotiations.
The Kaiser's Government has ap-
pointed Herr Sydow, the Prussian
minister of commerce and trade. as
its negotiator.
The chief point at issue is the at
tempt of the German Government to
nullify the private contracts made
by the principal American potash
consumers with the owners of the
German mines. The German Gov
ernment itself is a heavy partner in
the German Potash Trust. The
American contracts were made a
year ago, during a dramatic midnight
pause. when the trust for at least
fifteen minutes was technically not
in existence. and the individual Ger
man mines were at full liberty to sell
below the trust schedules. The Ger
man Government later counteract ed
now disputed by the passing of re-
strictive laws limiting the potash out
put and imposing prohibitive export
duties. The effect of these laws has
been to vitiate the American contracts,
which represents millions Of dollars,
America being the heaviest consum-
er of German potash.
The United States Government has
unreservedly identified itself with the
position of American potash com
panies, and Ambassador Hill Is In
sisting unequivocally upon the in
volatility of the contracts in ques-
ton. There are indications that
Germany will give way, but it is pre-
mature to say so with positiveness
America has not intimated what she
VIII do If Germany remains obdurate,
but the retaliation to which Wash
ington may be compelled to resort is
the withdrawal Of the minimum rate
of the Payne-Aldrich tariff law on
German imports on the ground that
the German potash regulations are
direct discrimination against Ameri-
ca.

SUMTER SETS THE PACE.
Facts Stated by A Charlotte Paper of
Which Sumter Should Feel Proud.


Which Sumter Should Feel Proud.
County Supervisor Pitts, and his
associates on the board Of county
commissioners, Messrs. F. z. Thomas,
John |. Brogdon, w. ]. Young and E.
T. Minis ought to feel proud after
reading the complimentary remarks
reproduced below from the Charlotte
Observer.
The comments by this influential
and we'll known journal in the Tar
heel State" further show that good
Judgment and business management
OF city or county affairs are good
and far reaching advertisements for
any community.
The tax payers of Sumter county
will no doubt feel as proud of the
showing made which has attracted
the attention Of even people from
other States, as the board Of county
commissioners.
One thing the Charlotte Observer
eft out in commenting on the article
of the Sumter correspondent of The
Columbia Record. That was that the
correspondent also referred to the
expert manner in which the books
and accounts of the county commits
sioners office are kept by Mr.. John
r. Sumter, clerk Of the board. and
to the fact that Mr.. Sumter can at
moments notice give out any infor-
nation wanted about the county af-
fairs.
The Columbia Record recently
published some figures furnished by
it's Sumter correspondent which evil
dence the unusually prosperous con-
dition of Sumter county. with all
ordinary expenses and claims against
the county paid" says this report,
the balance on hand October /
amounted to 6,546.04. The county
will have ample funds to defray all
expenses up to January 1 and will
have surplus of about $4,000 from
the 1910 revenues" On the 1st Of
last July there was interest on saw
ing banks deposits due the county
amounting to nearly $1,000. Three
years ago the county borrowed S25,-
600 from the State for the purpose Of
building a new court house, and Of
this debt only $4,000 remains unpaid
and plans have been made for it's
entire liquidation within twelve mnths.
The people of the county authorized
issue of $4,000, but not one dollar
of this has been used, as it has not
yet been required. That the road
making of the county is by no means
standing still is evidenced by the
construction since January Of
seven miles of first-class sand-clay
road and the cutting out of more
than three miles Of new road through
swamps.
This is a record Of which any
county might be proud and demon
strates that the commissioners who
have directed affairs have been en-
| ergetic and far-sighted. Their ad-
ministration has been marked by
conservatism, as is evidenced by
their excellent financial condition;
but the new court house, the bond
issue and the road construction show
with equal plainness that they are
progressive. Their success should
prove an incentive to all county au-
thorities and in itself offers a fine sort
Of encouragement.
