DEATH OF D. B. MILLIKAN
RESULTS FROM FEVER
EStimabIe Young Man Passes
Away Here

The announcement yesterday morn
ing of the death of Mr.. Dan B. Mil
likan was not unexpected, in view OF
his recent illness of three weeks with
typhoid fever, though greatly de-
plored among his many friends and
business associates, who held him in
high esteem for his many excellent
traits of character.
Although a resident of Americas
but a few months this genial young
gentleman, just attaining his majority
had already won for himself the hign
regard of many friends here.
Three weeks ago he was stricken
with fever and despite the tenderest
ministrations of friends and the best
attention that could be bestowed, the
fatal malady claimed him a victim
He was for four years with the Kress
Company, and no young man Of the
many in its employ was regarded more
highly.
His brother, Col. J. n. Millikan, of
Greensboro, N. c., was at his bedside

ment yesterday afternoon, many floral
tributes from friends covering the
handsome casket.

IN MIDST OF ELECTIONS
The VOTER WILL REVEL
The Current Year is Pregnant
With Politics

In Americas as elsewhere in the
state the game of politics will be
played to finish this year, for start
ing next week with the formal election
of GoVernor-elect Brown on the 10th
inst, the battles of the polls will be
numerous and exciting. For from
Governor on down the line there will
be plenty doing in local politics.
The congressional race will, OF
course, command attention, but this
scrapfest is deferred until the general
state primary in August, and in the
meantime there will be other stunts
political to entertain the able voter.
The county officers are to be elected
again this year. and this feature, IS
heretofore, will be one of great inter
est locally. 1t is too early yet to view
the lineup of candidates, and if any
of the capable officials now serving
the public are to have opposition the
fact does not appear on the surface.
But in politics nearly anything is
liable to happen.
Then the legislative candidates must
again be reckoned with, and many of
Sumter's sons may want to pose as
statesmen, in Atlanta Then there Is

The Opinion OF the People.

Gentlemen who talk affrightedly
about the hasty judgments of the
people lack either honesty or OBJ
servation. The judgments of the
people are. not hasty, but DELHI
erate-even slow. The people are
naturally conservative. They bear
long and patiently; they turn from
the old ways and old ideas with
reluctance. But there is some
thing tremendous, like the force of
nature, in their accumulated con-
victions. The need of railroad
regulation, the demand for pro-
lection from poisoned food, the
right to control the parties for
which they furnish the votes, none
of the deep, abiding convictions of
the public have come as sudden
waves, as hasty judgments. But
deliberately, very slowly, the peo-
pie have reached these national
conclusions. There are many in
stances of sudden changes, of
whirlwind convictions, of radical
moves on the part of men manag-
ing great business concerns, of
statesmen, of judges even. But
the judgments of the people are
deliberate, slow, cumulative, and
there never was a more groundless
fear than that a majority of the
nation may be played upon at will
by demagogues and blown into a
flame of rashness that will consume
our sacred institutions"-or any
other sort that are worth keeping.

Roosevelt.

Bull Moose Roosevelt has cross
ed the RuUicon and burned all his
bridges behind him. He has aban-
doned the Republican party and his
followers will make a fight in all
the States. All his life a political
acrobat, a plunger and smasher,
Bull Moose Roosevelt in his new
role is in his element. His pur-
pose is TO smash Taft to the death;
his ambition is to create a new
party on the ruins of the old.
For seven years the Bull Moose
was President. He stole Panama
and started the Panama canal. 1t
was a princely act of land grab
bing and the Inauguration of canal
building noble achievement.
Agents of the transcontinental
railroads at Bogata bribed the
Senate of Columbia and defeated a
treaty which would have insured
the building of the canal without
the absorption of Panama. Bull
Moose fought the devil with fire.
He won. But he never tanned the
gigantic and voracious trusts.
They fourished like a green bay
tree during his administration.
He never tanned the money trust
of Wall street. At times he ate
out of its hand, and when il
threatened to bring about a finan-
,cial panic, Bull Moose Roosevelt
lost his nerve, threw away his
bluff and permitted the steel trust
to gobble the Tennessee Coal anc
Iron Company. He wasn't g

The Demon Of Worry.

Worry is one of the most fatal
of all trangressions. 1t is a sin
against not one organ of the body,
but against the body as whole.
It is a demon whose pressure is
felt upon the heart, and there is
not a capillary in any gland or It's
sueewhich does not shrink under
the glance at its gloomy eyes.
A man who worries is slowly
draining the springs of life. He
not only stunts himself, but he
makes it harder for others to
grow and blossom. Depression is
vice, and like all vices it must
be dealt with firmly and with
vigor to be overcome. What is
the effect of your presence in
your home9 Does your look fall
like a sunbeam or shadow across
the breakfast tablet Does your
conversation lie like a strip of
summer sky, or patch of mid
night across the family lifeY
Upon what subjects do you speak
with largest freedom and keenest
relish-your aches and failures, or
the things which are beautiful and
fine and highs For your own
sake and for the sake of others,
you ought to bring your soul into
a jubilant mood. All your virtues
grow best under a sky filled with
sun, and the man or woman who
persists in being gloomy and sour
and moody will have his home
filled at last with weeds and bram-
bles and briers. Arkansas Thorn

Consistency.

Consistency is said to be the yir-
tue of fools. Bull Moose Roose-
Welt is never consistent. Neither
is he a fool. He is after the lead
ing place in the middle of the stage,
he loves the huzzas and plaudits of
his countrymen, he loves the music
made by his own voice and he is
on the rampage. He has Taft be-
tween the devil and the deep sea.
The Bull Moose is the devil and
Woodrow Wilson is the deep sea.
The handwriting appears to be on
the wall and the devil and Taft,
unless all signs fail, will need life
preserversi in November, after their
plunge in the deep sea, to save
their lives. All Democrats should
pray for long life and loud life for
the Bull Moose. He is croaking
and choleric Moses, but as a guide
for the donkey he may assist Chair
man McCombs to lead the donkey
to the promised land.-Arkansaw
