|, In speaking Of the Farmers Free
List bill, which has passed both
Houses Of Congress and now awaits
the action of President Taft, who
must either sign it or veto it, The
Charleston News and Courier says
"it means the entrance free from
duty, into this country Of agricul-
tural implements, cotton, bagging
cotton ties, leather, boots, and shoes
fence wire, salt, timber, lumber, sew
ing machines and other articles. Ad-
mittance free of duty means lower
prices despite the contention of Re-
publican organs to the contrary, and
the farmer will have before him a
practical demonstration of just what
the effect Of high tariff duties on
prices is.
The News and Courier goes on to
says that president Taft has it in
his power through approval Of this
bill to reduce the operating eX-
penses of every farm in the United
States, and, therefore, to increase the
income of every farmer in the United
States. There is a disposition to
trust him to do what is manifestly
the right thing. VIII his advisers
be able to talk him into an opposite
course? We do not think it took
much talking to put Taft against the
bill, and. would be surprised if he
signed it.
with all his pretensions to the
contrary, President Taft is a strong
friend of the pred;4,ory interests in
this country that have for years been
preying on the people and he will not
do anything to injure them If he
can help it. The result Of the elec-
tions last fall scared him as we'll as
the predatory interests, and so they
agreed that something must be done
to appease the wrath Of the people.
To do this they selected the Canad-
ian reciprocity pact. and they will
go no farther, Therefore we feel
sure that President Taft will veto
the Farmers Free List Bill, or any
measure that may be passed for the
relief of the people by the Demo
Gratis.

Poor Innocent Men.

News comes from Pittsburg, Pa,
that detective sare working there
on what is believed to be the most
gigantic case Of blackmailing by or
ganized gangs of pretty girls in the
histody of the country. Scores of the
wealthiest and most prominent men
in the western part Of Pennsylvania
are said to have been victimized. The
police are Informed not less than
100000 has been paid out TO the ad-
venturesses.
These pretty young blackmailers
are said to have made a practice of
getting the names Of men of promi-
nence, prospective victims and then
by some means scrape acquaintance
with them. The men are fed entic-
ing bait and in the human angling
that ensues they are led one step to
another until the progress of legal
intimacy slowly but surely approaches
the point where !llegality predom-
mates. Then the poor, unsophisti-
Gated men paid up and looked hum
Bile.

the McKechine hearing, sensational

Push the County Fair.

In many counties of this and other
States people are getting ready for
their annual fairs, Pigs are
being fattened; big squashes
are being carefully fed; house
wives are planning to make
prize butter or prize cake; horses
being put through their PAGES on
county roads and on practice tracks;
candidates are busy arranging speak
ing dates, and business firms are
planning for the arrangement of ex-
hibits. That is what the people Of
this county must begin TO do at once,
so as the County Fair which Is to
open on Tuesday, Nov. IA, will have
the benefit of their erhibits.
County Fairs are great educators,
and the one that will he held in this
county will learn us many new
things. County fairs bring to the far
mer the latest ideas liz labor saving
farm machinery; it serves to make
producers work for a high standard
Of products; it introduces new and
successful varieties or cotton, corn
and vegetables, of grapes and fruit:
it glorifies the work of the farm, and
it brings farmers from remote dis
tricts into touch with each other,
greatly to their benefit. The social
and entertaining features of the coun-
ty fair are important too. Aviators,
doing the latest aeroplaning stunts"
visit these fairs, and many other won
derful things are shown at them.
The Times and Democrat believes in
County Fairs, and it wants to see our
first fair a grand success.
To that and let us all put our
shoulders to the wheel and push the
Fair along 1t is possible to over
do local patriotism, but it seldom oc-
ours. AS a rule people are too in
different to the place in which they
live. In too many instances love of
ease or an unconscious selfishness in
terfere to prevent that enterprise and
incentive to betterment without
which no community can flourish. A
pool which receives no supplies Of
fresh water becomes stagnant and
dries up, and many town has had
the same experience because its citi-
zens had no public spirit. Opportun-
tiles for growing were neglected and
the result was death. Let US guard
against these pitfalls and work to
make Orangeburg the best town In
this section.
Few towns will grow without be-
ing pushed by its people. The town
that grows without being pushed has
greater natural advantages than Or
so If we want our town to
expand and become tie commercial,
educational and social centre of this
section each Of us must do his or her
full share to make 1t so. In this land
there are places possessing great ad-
vantages of location, water power, or
natural resources that remain sleep
ing, decaying villages because stupid
ity. narrowness of view and other
failings had and continue to have
the right of way. 1t Is impossible to
make live town with dead citizens.
Let US all remember this, and work
for the County Fair. We know of
nothing that would help Orangeburg
more.
