MOTHER

This world, itself, is a finished essay
to all right thinking men and women,
young or old. for II carries memories
and associations most tender and en-
crossing. Even viewed from the ami
NAL side, the tiger ticks its young with
a yearning no tongue can tell She
would fight for 1t and die for it.
On the human side, the mother will
fight and die, by agonizing inches, II
needs be, not only for the man child
OF strength and OF courage who sus-
tains her and gives her solid basis
for her pride and admiration, but for
the son or daughter, deformed weak
ling though they may be. and no matter
how unworthy. The mother love knows
no limit nor asks return. II is lavished
on the worthy and the unworthy, and
Il endures forever, regardless.
Few great men fail to ascribe their
greatness to the mother who formed
their character in the tender years OF
childhood.

For the second time Michigan has
written into its statutes that voters
OF one political party cannot vote for
candidates of another party unless the
enrolment corresponds with the bal
lot asked for. In other words a re-
publican will be a republican, dem
ocrat will be democrat and so on.
II means that a democrat cannot
vote for a republican unless the demo-
crat changes his party enrolment and
vice versa. The aim OF the law is TO
prevent one party voting for a weak
candidate running on the opposition
ticket, hoping thereby TO make the
chances for election OF his own party
candidate easier
This bill was introduced.in the last
legislature and is one of more than
200 laws that became effective this
week. Governor Ferris was strongly
opposed to the passage of the measure
but the majority republican house and
senate was adamant and insisted that
the bill go through.
Comparatively speaking the demo-
cratic vote in Michigan is small so all
the advantages OF the old law remain
ed with this party.
For years the democrats have had
little difficulty picking a nominee; In
fact more trouble has been experience
ed getting men to run while the re-
verse has been true OF the @. o. p.
Under the old law II the republican
ticket was headed by weak sisters,
who probably gained their nomina-
tons through the cooperation OF
democratic votes, II made the demo-
cratic ticket that much stronger In
the election.
The puzzling question facing the
G. o. p. leaders In national, politics
today finds, a parallel in Michigan
who will be nominated for governor
and which of the various candidates
mentioned stands the best show of
carrying the ticket to victory"
II seems that the cry most popular
in republican ranks Just now is "any
thing but Wayne county man" In
ternal dissension has caused a bad
split I'm the party in Detroit and IL Is
believed a candidate from Wayne
could not hold the solid republican
vote while an outsider might cement
the cracks and unite the two factions.

GINNER'S REPORT

Prices Should Rise.

The genners' report for the cotton
ginned up to the first of November
came out on Monday 1t is bullish
report and should cause the price Of
cotton to go up. The total number of
bales ginned is 7,3S3,OOO. The total for
the short crop Of 1909 for the same
time was 7.35O,OO0 and the total crop
for that year 1O,6OO,OOO bales, includ-
ing linters. There is a greater per-
centage of the crop ginned this year
than in 1909 and the acreage has bee2
reduced. This report would indicate
a total crop of less than 1900 900
bales. In that event there is no reason
why the price should not go to l5

The State.
Judge l. W. Bowman, VINO has held
the terms of criminal and civil court
of Richland county, yesterday decided
that the gallon-a-month liquor law was
constitutional. The judge sustained a
demurrer entered by Frederick n.
Dominick, assistant attorney general.
The case will be appealed to the su-
preme court by attorneys for the plain
tiff, Thomas F. Bremen Of Columbia.
Judge Bowman will hand down for
NAL order in the near future.
The decision of Judge Bowman is
the opposite Of that given by Judge
Frank B. Gary several weeks ago.
The suit was brought by Mr. Bren-
men against the Southern Express COM
pany in order to force them to deliver
more than a gallon of intoxicating
liquors within a month.

The corner stone Of Smeltzer hall

A remarkable coincidence is con-

built in Newberry and Smeltzer hall.
fihen they were each torn down and
their corner stones opened for exam
ination nothing whatever was found in
either of them. a. number of persons
who were present at the laying of each
corner stone were excited with keen
expectancy by the fact that when the
corner stones were opened they would
behold again the interesting collec-
ton of coin and other articles which
they had seen deposited in the recep-
tacles. The old corner stone at the
college was hewn out of solid granite.
The receptacle was not very large. But
strange to say, when it was opened,
not single article was found in it.
There was nothing to snow that any
thing had ever been placed in it. No
decayed material of any kind was Wis
ible. The corner stone of the church
was receptacle formed OF brick Ill
the northeast corner of the foundation.
There was nothing to show that the
church had ever had a corner stone.
The only explanation is that the arti-
cles were extracted from the recepta-
cles by some one who wanted the
coins, and everything else in them was
likewise taken out Of them.

whatever she is told and do it quickly.
To turn her cheek to the smiter is
hardly a virtue in her case. 1t is a
matter of stern compulsion. Having
no means of defense she has no
choice. Doubtless virtue will have its
reward in the long run, but the run
is so very long that the reward can
hardly be considered as practical. The
stern fact remains that we are living
in the days when might makes right,
when the weakest goes to the wall.

mistakable preference for big bat
talions and remains neutral only when
the odds are equal.
