Under the constant whooping
up of the Columbia State the
Wilson and Marshall fund con-
tinues to grow larger daily. The
cause is a good one and we think
everybody regardless of local
faction should give what they
can to help democracy win. We
believe this is Democratic year,
and the indications are that it is
the year for a Democratic tidal
wave, but it costs a lot of money
to conduct a national campaign,
and every democrat should feel
that he had a part and parcel in
bringing on the great victory
which will be theirs on the 5th,
of November. Let everybody
send something to The State for
this fund, they need not send a
large sum, any contribution from
one dollar up will help on the
cause of good government which
is promised by the Democratic
party.

Since tho nomination of Oscar
Strauss for governor of New

political situation in the Empirs
State is somewhat complicated.
and it would not surprise US in
the least to learn that Strauss
has been elected, we are salts

many thousand votes. The
voters of New York are indepen.

Strauss by an overwhelming
majority and give the electoral
vote to Wilson and Marshall as
they are to give their entire
vote to either the Democratic or
Republican parties. With the
intelligent voter of New York it
is men and measures to consider
rather than mere party prefer.

Marshall to get plurality and

The First Mountaineer.

a Munich paper has been searching
the records Of history to discover who
were the first mountain climbers. 1t
gives the palm to Moses for bis as
cent Of Mount Sinai and rules out
Noah for his ascent Of Mount Ararat
because he made it in a boat. There
is sufficient evidence to show that the
ancients thought mountain climbing
sheer madness. No one in the time of
Horace or Polybius wanted to go
climbing for a summer holiday. A
Chinese emperor in the seventh CEN
tury was the first to make climbing
fashionable in the east but the first
true tourists in Europe seem to have
been Dante. Petrarch and Leonard.
Then came the Emperor Maximilian
l., who used to hunt In the noun
tains near Innsbruck, and after him
Conrad von Gesner and Josias Simler
explored the Swiss mountains. But
climbing for pleasure such as we know
it today was not thought Of until quite
recently.

paintino Turkeys' ledS.

Among the many trades which exist,
but which are not as rule filed up ID
the census papers. are the takers OF
all kinds, from the manufacturer OF
antique furniture and brasses to the
bird fancier who can pass sparrow
as a canary. Perhaps the most curious
form of taking is that which deals
with turkeys, dead or alive, and which
is principally practIeed In France. The
age Of q turkey is told chiefly by Its
legs and beak. These are filed and
treated with q special varrish by the
"faker" two or three times week BE-
fore the bird is to be sold. It will then,
to all appearance. have renewed It's
youth, and its owner is able to obtain
a much higher price. The freshness OF
the dead birds IS also largely told by
the color Of the legs, and for this, too,
a varnish is used The varnish was

Chapellier, who seems to have been a

Hardworkina Dollar.

II noticed a statement in an eastern
paper the other day that has disquiet'
ed me a good DEAL" said Cleveland
man recently. The item called to my
attention the fact that it takes a dol
lar at the usual rate Of interest more
than two years to earn q dime You
can see the effect. Every time speno
a dime I think Of that toiling dollar
spinning away in the dark somewhere
The dime spend means more than two
years Of steady application, and yet
let it go as If It were Of too small
value to be at all considered Why, It
takes a dollar more than year to
earn 5 cents! Think Of that when you
slip the next nickel across. It really
makes me feel uncomfortable. I wish
I hadn't read the stupid thing

Subsistence of the Bermudas.

It is contended that the Bermuda
islands are merely the remnant Of an
island, very much larger than the pres
ent entire group, which has sunk Into
the ocean. The original island, it IS
asserted, had an area Of 300 or 4OC
square miles, whereas the Bermudas
Of today are only about twenty square
miles In area. Within comparatively
recent period. according to Verrll, the
Bermudas have subsided at least so OF
100 feet. Their base is the summit OF
an ancient volcano, while their surface
is composed Of shell sand drifted into
hills by the wind and consolidated by

A NEW PARTY IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

The Bull Moose party has
been launched in South Caro-
lima, and will no doubt put for
ward a ticket for electors, but
we have no idea the projectors
OF this new party expect to be Of
much strength this year, they
are merely founding party for
the future in this State. The
Democratic donkey will hardly
feel the existence of the Bull
Moose, but it is our opinion that
after this election the new party
will have to be reckoned with.
There is an element in this State
very much disgruntled with the
present political control, they
would prefer wrestling this con-
troll from those who have it now
through the regular channel, but
this they have not been able to
accomplish, and we believe, that
sooner or later, they will 90 over
horse foot and dragoon to the
new party if that organization
makes any show Of respectibil-
|ity.
Should the Bull Moose party
make a positive declaration to
stand for the repeal of the 18th
and 10Th amendments to the con-
|stitution of the United States,
we believe there will be a gener-
al breaking up in the South and
the Bull Moosers will become a
strong and potential force; even
under the present conditions
there are manyheretofore Dem.
ocrats. who are restless and want
to get out of the old ruts, these
do not care to go into the Repub-
lican party because of the dis
agreeable association Of former
years, but at heart they are op-
posed to many of the theories
advocated by the Democratic
party, and too, they regard the
Democratic party of today as diff
fering very slightly from the
Republican party, they would,
if assured Of the elimination Of
the negro, JON the Bull MooSers
OF any other party which would
come nearer to their ideas of
government than does either of
tie two great parties which are
regarded the dominant parties
now.
It will not do 10 consider light
ly the entrance Of this new party
into the political arena, we be-
lieve it is here to stay, It has not
been founded upon vagaries as
was the Greenback party, but it
has in it's platform something
up to date, and which appeals to
the student of political, indus
trial, and commercial conditions
as they exist, therefore we say
it is not for Us to treat this party
lightly, it will not be laughed

complied with before the next
election. So far as reforming
the primary laws are concerned,
we think there is more of the
wailing of the licked in this de
mand than anything else, if the
other side had been successful in
the recent primary there would
not have been all Of this hue and
cry from The State and its fol-
lowers for the reforming Of our
primary laws, but we are not op.
posed to amending the rules OF
the Democratic party to insure
honest elections, we are opposed
however, to any amendmenes
which will restrict the right OF
any white man to vote in our
primaries, and with ali OF the
force we have will resist any
attempt to make law or rule
which will deprive white man
of his vote. -.
None of US want ''repeaters"
or s:non-residents" to have a
voice in our elections, and we
are sure these two elements are
only brought into play where
there is money to pay them for
their illegal acts; in our recent
primary it is a notorious fact
that the defeated side had
money. and it can be proven
that right in the city of Columbia
money was literally paid for
votes to defeat Governor Blease,
many of those getting this money
stuffed it into their pockets, and
went straight to the polls and
stuffed their ballot in the box for
Blease; afidavits from a number
of those who took this Jones
money and voted for Blease have
been obtained, and are in safe
possession for future use should
the solicitors comply with the
demand of the State Executive
Committee to prosecute those
guilty of violating the election
laws. 1t is all very we'll to claim
virtue and to hold up the hands
in holy horror against the other
side, but Be sure your sins will
find you out, and in this case
those who were crying fraud the
loudest are the most guilty, it is
a case of crying stop thief" as
the proof will show if ever there
is a prosecution for bribery and
repeating.
We stand ready and SO do all
the supporters of Governor
Blease to make rules and laws
that swill give a guarantee
against repeaters and non-resi-
dents and other unqualified men
voting" +" because had i not been
for the purchase of Such by our
opponents, Blease would have
defeated Jones by at least 10000
votes, it was this element in our
primary which came near steal
ing the election from the honest
people of the State. and forcing
upon them a man against their
will, but justice prevailed in
spite of the unprecedented ef-
fort to sti1e it.
So far as the threat of The
State is concerned it does not
matter one way or the other
whether it stands by the party
nominee or not, neither does it
matter how much it stands for re-
stricting the primary: those IN
authority will look after the
party law and it will take more
than the threats of the opposi-
tion to make the majority driye
white men OUT of the councils of
a party which they helped to
make, and for which they made
many sacrifices long before the
editor of The State was in posi-
ton to assume a role to dictate
or threaten.
