If you can wait and not be tired by

If you can dream-and not make

If you can think-and not make
thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with triumph and
disaster
And treat those two imposters
just the same;.
If you can bear to hear the truth
you've spoken
Twisted knaves to make trap
for fools,
Or watch the things you gave you
life to, broken,
And stop and build 'em up with
wornout tools;.
If you can make one heap of all
your winnings
And risk it on one. turn of pitch
andtoss,
And lose, and start again at your
beginnings
and never breathe a word about
your loss;
If you can force your heart aud
nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they

Except the will which says to

If you can talk with crowds and

Or walk with kings-nor lose the

If neither foes nor loving friends can
hurt you,
If all men count with you, but
none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving min.

Should Be Eliminated.

There is too great a difference be-
tween the price received by the far
mer for his produce and the price
paid for the same by the consumer.
AS a matter of fact two many men
handle the commodities before they
reach the consumer and as each one
has to have mis- profit it means that
the farmer does not get enough for
his products while the consumer pays
too much. If some of the middle
men could be eliminated and more
direct relations established between
producer and consumer it would
make for the financial benefit Of
both.

SWEEP I'm new YORK
VICTORY FOR THE DEMOCRATS
Is CERTAIN THERE.
That Is the Way 1t Looks to the
Postmaster Of Mobile, Who is a

Postmaster Of Mobile. Who Is a
Republican.
A Washington dispatch says it is
an unusual thing for Republican
federal officeholder to admit that a
Democratic victory is possible, even
when it appears TO be a certainty to
the rest of mankind, but there is
one. such in Washington. He is
Postmaster P. B. Barker, of Mobile,
Ala, who is Just back from New York
State, where he had both eyes and
ears open and learned few things.
1T seems to be in the air all over
New York state" observed this
southern Republican, "that the DEM
ocratic ticket will make clean sweep
at the coming election. Mind you,
it will not be so much a Democratic
party, as an anti-Roosevelt triumph.
OF course, the Democrats will read
the advantage-that Is inevitable,
but it is the conservative business
men of both parties who are moving
now to head Roosevelt off from the
nomination for president in 1912.
"People at distance hardly real
ize the tremendous significance of the
revolt against Roosevelt in the Union
League Club, which Is composed of
Republicans who. are. at the very top
in New York financial circles"
reports received from the east
and west are most encouraging, and
there is every indication that the next
house will be controlled by the DEM
ocrats," said Representative Finley,
of South Carolina, vice chairman of
the Democratic congressional COM
mittee, who is in charge of the head
quarters there.
THAT ISSUE" he said, "is the cost
of living, and the people are i'm
pressed with the fact that the in
creased price Of foodstuffs is caus-
ed by the Payne-Aldrich tariff. In
surgency in the west has split the
Republicans in that section as free
silver did the Democrats in the east
in 1894.
while the. Democrats now are
most hopeful, they are not idle, and
in every debatable district they are
waging war on the high price of
living. What about Roosevelt? Why,
he is doing good work for u.s.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Several Notes Of Unusual Interest
Chronicled.

Already Senators and Members
are arriving in the city to look up
quarters for the coming session OF
Congress. This is always difficult
problem to .thnse with moderate
means, as rensssare excessive in de-
sirable localities and hotel accomo-
dations are in many instances inn
practicable. The wealthy however,
have no trouble as they either buy
sor lease residences ito suit their
tastes and demands, as these can al
ways be secured even in the most
fashionable and exclusive portions of
the city owing to the constant shift
ing of this part of the population.
But very few eff the foreign gov
ernments own their embassy quarters.
England has an elegant residence
and Office connections in the center
of the ultra fashionable locality, but
most of the diplomats rent their
homes and they are generally chang
ed as new men come in.
Up to August /, 171,669,529 Lin
coin pennies had been issued, the
Philadelphia mint, which coins all
the copper coins, turning them out
at the rate of 100000 per day. Near
ly 10000 Of these have been secured
by collectors and are not in circuia-
ton. These are the first ones coined
having on them the initials of the
designed of the coin, the V. D. B.
representing the uame Of Victor D.
Benner. This issue was stopped by
the authorities as soon as they dis
covered this error, and these partiC-
ular coins are now practically all
in the hands Of collectors or speCu-
lators who are Offering them for sale
at two for FIVE cents, as it is thought
they will be at a premium in few
years.
The Agricultural Department has
recently issued set of fifteen valua-
BILE charts showing in the case of
each article it's food value. They
are printed in six colors, on sheets
81 by 27 inches, with full erplana-
tory margins, and art for sale at 81
per set. They are especially useful
to instructors and students in phy-
siology, domestic science and other
branches in which food nutrition OF

A Warning to Boys.

"A Pennsylvania school teacher at
tempted to administer corporal pun
ishment to one of her charges the
other day, but the first lick ignited
a handful of matches reposing in a
hip pocket, with dire results to the
trousers and greatly to the detri-
ment of that order and regularity
which should obtain In all public
schools. It ia q pretty safe guess,
however, that one particular boy was
good for a whole day.

ROBINsoN's CIRCUS.
Pleased Large Crowds at Both Per-
formances Yesterday.

John Robinson's Circus was at Or
angeburg yesterday for two per-
formances according to advertise
ment The ring acts were all good
and entertained the audience during
every minute, acrobats, trainc hor.
ses, tight rope walking and wild west
features making the bill varied
and enjoyable one.
The feats of strength performed
by Warren Lincoln Travis, who has
an ambition to be a prize fighter
excited the keenest interest among
the masculine part of the audi snce,
Eunice de Motte, a dainty and
graceful young girl pleased the aud
ience very much by her bareback
riding.
The elephants were fine. TIL" big,
old bulky animals are trained to per
fection, and can trip the light fan
tastic toe with surprising ease.
The races, the acrobatic feats and
the usual complement Of circus acts
made the performance thoroughly en-
joyable throughout.
Another interesting feature is the
aggregation of indians. Genuine
Sioux Indians they are, and they
were never off the reservation be-
fore Robinson took them. Minnie
Goodboy says she likes the circus life
better than. sitting on the plains
smoking her pipe, and her husband
with Indians cupidity, offered to sell
ser for So to one Of the men.
There is one old Indian, Bird
Necklace, who wears about his neck
a heavy gold peace medal which was
presented to him by President Ar
thur for service rendered to the gov.
'ernment during the Sioux rebellion il
1890. Bird-Neck-Lace is 81 years
old and is the medicine man Of his
tribe. He is canny old Indian,
whose stolidity is easy broken when
a stranger admires his handsome
peace medal.

Vote for the Railroad.

The special election, which is to
be held on the 25th instant, to de-
termine whether this city will issue
bonds to the amount Of $4,000 to
aid in building a railroad from this
city to North, is of far reaching con-
sequences. It would pay Orange
burg many times over to put $4,000
in such an enterprise, and we are in
favor OF the issuance Of the bonds,
properly safe-guarded.

Small Number Register,

The books for the registration Of
voters in the city closed on Thurs
day afternoon, when 16S names had
been placed on the books. This is
hardly one-third of the vote of the
city, and indicates that not a great
deal of interest is felt in the election
on the railroad bonds, which comes
off on the 25th instant. The small
registration indicates little or no op-
position to the issuance of the bonds.
