Considerable is being said nova
days by the press about the high cost
of living, and many causes are CIV
en- for it. Free traders say it is the
fault of traffic; those opposed to Or
ganized labor lay it at the door Of
labor unions producers say that the
retailers profits are too great, and
the retailers say the manufacturers
and wholesalers charge them too
much. The Secretary of Agriculture
has started an investigation, and
perhaps the truth will come out. The
question then will be, what is to be
done about it.

No Scarcity Of Labor.

Commissioner of Agriculture W.
A. Graham returned from his
farm in Lincoln county Sunday
night. He says the corn crops
are good, but the cotton crop will
be short.
Major Graham says that he
does not hear the farmers COM
planning on account of the lack of
farm hands this year as in the
past. They saem to have all the
help they need. This condition
is probably due to.the increased
cost of living. The poor man has
to work hard for a living, and the
farm offers moro inducements to
the laborer. Possibly another
cause is the closing down of the
cotton mills. Most of the mill
hands came from the farms and
when the mslls closed down they
went back.-Ralelgh Times

MORE TROUBLE FOR REPUBLICANS.
United States Senator Sends In His Resig-
nation to Hamilton Club.

Chicago, Sept. 10.-A terse note
of resignation from the Hamilton
Club, of which he had been a
member many years. was the ans
wer made here today by United
States Senator William Lorimer
to the action of the club president
John II. Batten, in Withdrawing
his invitation to the Roosevelt
banquet Thursday night. The in
vltation was withdrawn at the de-
mand of Colonel Roosevelt, who
refused to attend a-hanquet at
which Senator Lorimer also was a
guest.
While Senator Lorimer urged
that his resignation be accepted
Immediately, 1t is said tonight
that the Senator's friends en- the
club board Of Governars probably
will refuse to vote the acceptance.
Together with the resignation
today news of correspondence
from President Batten to Senator
Lorimer developed, showing that
the junior Illinois Senator also
was to have been guest of honor,
and it was the hope that the club
would make the dinner notable as
harmonious OCCASION where all
factions of the Republican parsy
had broken bread together.
At least three invitations were
sent Lorimer, each urging him to
attend the banquet, and to the
last of these he sent his accept.
ance. After this, on the day of
the banquet, came the sudden re-
call of the invitation.
The note of resignation was
written after a conference of the
Senator with number of his
friends, and at first was believed
to be a cue which would be follow
ed by q number Of his admirers in
the club. Later 1t was decided
by his friends to refuse to accept
the invitation.
Pittsburg, Sept. 10.--Colonel
Roosevelt heard tonight that SEN
ator Lorimer had resigned from
the Hamilton Club following the
attack which the colonel made on
him two days ago. He was great
ly interested in the news of the
Senator'S action, but he would
make no ment on it.

PRoGREsslvEs NOT REPUBLICANS.
Those who approve of the sem
tlments of such genuine progress.
ives as Victor Murdock of Kansas
will be disappointed if they ex-
pect that the Republican party
proper has any intention of carry
ing out such ideas. This is made
plain in the Republican text book
just issued by the Republican
congressional committee. The
campaign book emphatically
does not recognize insurgent re-
publicans as republicans, and
thereby tacitly serves notice to
the public that If the next House
is Republican the people need not
expect the ideas of progressives to
bs carried out. The Republican
textbook. however, officially in
dorses sentiments of the Aldrich-
Cannon-Guggenheim type of Re-
publicans as being Simon-pu1e
Republicanism. As the Demo-
cratic campaign book accepts the
sentiments of many Of the gen.
uine progressive Republicans as
being truly Democratic, it would
seem that the surest way to secure
progressive legislation would be-
by voting the Democratic ticket.
REPUBrICANIsM IS CANNoNIsM
In spite Of anything the pro.
gressives can do CT say, Cannon
ism and Republicauism ere sy-
nonymous. The record of the last
Congress proves this beyond suc-
cessful contradiction. Page 1890
of she Congressional Rec ord shows
that on March 10 resolution was
reported providing for unseating
Cannon as speaker. Of the entire
Republican membership only the
following nine voted to unseat
Cannon: Murdoch, of Kansas !;
Cooper, Cary, Nelson and Lenroot
of Wisconsin; Lindburgh and Da.
Wis of Minnesota, Poindexter Of
Washington and Gronna of North
Dakota. Thus it is 1ndisputable

that Cannonism DONNA tes all but

get by dividing 219, the total Re-

WHO WILL Be GOVERNOR?
Second Primary In South Carolina was Held
YESTERDAY,

South Carolina Democrats yes
tsrday made their final choice fol
Governor, Adjutant General
Railroad Commissioner and Con
gressmen in two districts. The
voting constituted the second
primary, made necessary wher
there are more than two candi.
dates for one office and no one Of
them receives a majority.
Chief interest in this second
primary naturally centers in the
contest for Governor between G.
G. Featherstone of Laurens and
Cole L. Blease, Of Newberry. Mr..
Featherstone entered the cam
paigu as the champion of the
Statewide prohibitionists, while
Mr.. Blease ran on a local option
platform. Since T. G.. Mcleod,
another local option candidate,
was eliminated at the first prima-
ry, it has been maintained by
leading newspapers of the local
option persuasion that the issue
is no longer one of measures, but
question of personal fitness as
between Mr.. Featherstone and
Mr.. Blease. Supporting this view
several of the prohibition leaders
of the State have come out with
admissions that the Statewide
prohibitionist cause was practi.
cally defeated at the first prima-
ry.
Since the first primary the
campaign has been bitterly con-
tested with adherents of both
candidates working hard. The
press of the State, with q single
exception, is supporting Mr..
Fsatherstone and attacking Mr..
Blease. Predictions Oh the out.
come are futile.
For Adjutant General W. W.
Moore of Barnwell and J. M.
Richardson are in the second race,
while James Cansler and G.. Nc

In two congressional districts,
the second and the sixth, there
are second races. In the second
district J. 0. Patterson, incum-
bent, of Barnwell, and J. F.
Byrnes of Aiken are in the second
race. In the sixth district J. 4.
Ellerbe, incumbent, and P. A.

The HOME OF PLEASANT MEMORIES.
A Charming Home Such as Nearly all Of US
may Have.

| To all Of us who knew it it seem
ed almost she ideal home the one
to which we always accepted invi'
tations with gladness, and the
home to which, if we had to leave
our own, we would most willingly
have gone.
It wasn't fine place, at all :
just a little white cottage with a
neat and ample lawn in front of
it; big tree OF two to shadow and
guard it; on one side an old-fash-
ioned hedge of Towering shrub
berry, and clamberlng roses, and
stately holloyhocks and lilies, and
back of these bright and fragrant
beds of pansies and violets and
snap.dragons and sweet williams
and old-time pinks and all the
.. hardy flowers that delight to bios
som in an informal garden.
Inside, too, it was all very SIM
pie and unpretentious with no fus-
siness or show, but it was always
neat and fresh and home-like.
There was ever blazing fire on
oold winter evenings, and ever al
air of shadowy coolness on hot
summer days. On the walls were
one or two tasteful pictures that
had stories to tell, pictures that
didn't grow old; one side of the
little sitting-room was lined with
books, not gaudy volumes left by
wandering agents, but well-selec-
ted editions of Dickens and Scott
and Shakespeare and other mas
ters, piano, such as no home is
quite complete without. filled an
other corner. And something in
the spirit of the place made one
just snuggle down, as it were, into
his little nook, and enjoy the
book or the game or the song.
Perhaps it was the keeper of thu
home who gave it this atmos-
phere; for she seemed part Of,
90 like herself she made it. With
all her household duties she found
time to enjoy life and to make
others enjoy it. One marve'ed
how che did SO much, possibly it
was because she had learned how
to save labor, and because, hum
BILE as the home was, 1t was con-
venient aud equipped with the
definite idea Of making her work
easy. Il would rather spend
money for comfort and leisure
than for display she said. So
she found enough leisure to fill her
home with comfort, and to make
it place to which one tired or
discouraged could always turn and
find rest or inspiration.
And the best part CT the story
is that nearly all of us. if we only
try, may have such homes as this
for our own. Is not the result
worth the effort?- Rsleigh, N. G.,
