The Vital Matter of Taxation.

No good citizen wants to be exempt
from taxation, but it is one thing to
support the government economically
administered, and quite another to
maintain it gantIJ administer
ed. The one IS consistent with patriot
ism and State loyalty, the other stran@-
les PATRIOTISM One could wish thai
the last proposition were not true but
human nature has to be deal with
just as it is ound and not otherwise A
gene! alton ago when the writer read
Of other peoples being tax ridden he
did not hen dream that Cle day he
himself would be ground down beneath
the iron heel of the tax gatherer; but
the unexpected has come to pass. It
is to be hoped that Newberry's sena-
tor and representatives favored med
Grafton in making appropriations at
the last session G. the legislature, but
il is certain that the major part did
not have economy before their eyes
I hope that those upon whom the hon
or of making our laws is conferred
will forbear to drive the tax payer to
desperation. Once it was unctiously
proclaimed that our country was the
asylum for the oppressed of all nations
and lands, but this saying is fast be-
coming a hollow mockery so ar as
South Carolina is concerned. Time
was when our State signalized her op-
position to oppression and wrong. Is
she losing this pristine virtue?
But I loyalty appeal to our dear old
State to tighten the burden that is
crushing some of her honest tax
payers.

Remember the Horse.

If you find these days, with their cold, dis
agreeable weather and the thermometer
showing an aversion to climbing any height
with the flames from a CRATE or stove enact
ing the role of friend in need while your
heart fills with gratitude that there is a
shelter over you head
If you find these days such that they
would entail suffering to you and yours were
it not for provisions against them don't for
get your good friend, the horse-your pa
tient, obedient friend who is dependent on
your thoughtfulness for his comfort and
safety.
When you sit down at a table loaded with
appetizing and wholesome food stop for a
moment to consider whether you have re-
membered to place corn, hay or oats in the
manger for your dumb animals, and pause
another moment and ask yourself if you
have comfortable quarters for them.
They are only poor, mute brutes unable
to call your attention to neglect but they
have heart and brain, and in their way will
not fail to thank you.

The Don't Gossip Club
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

The rush hour is coming when your sister
straphangers will not discuss other women S
compilations and regulations, interesting as
these may be; when, strange as it may seem,
you'll be able to get your number instead
of the excessively popular Mrs Busy on your
telephone; when your stenOgrapher will have
displayed such diligence that none of your
correspondence will be signed in a business
college hand because it was dictated but not
read; when back fences, dumb walters bar
Der chairs and afternoon tea will sigh, oh,
so pathetically, for the days of yOre For
gossip, it is said, is on its last legs. Some
people thought the breathless business of
the dansanting would put it out of business.
1t did not. Where dancing fails efficiency
is about to chase little more of the ancient
joy of life into the shadows. 1t is sad to
realize that the Woman's Business Bureau,
headquarters New York city, is founding an
endless chain of Don't Gossip Clubs Cos
sip, says the bureau, is the most subtle, in
sidious and deadliest of sins" witness the
Ninth Commandment.
1t is sadder still to contemplate that the
first Don't Gossip" president is a stenog-
rapher It will be interesting to see her
photograph. The chances are that her hair
isn't bit fluffy, and that she doesn't wear
spats, abbreviated skirts or those very long
and very blonde boots. But the saddest
thing about the whole affair is that dues
to the club are only % cents a year That is
not enough. 1t is a needless temptation.
Any one, for the sake of a few minutes in
teresting conversation, can afford to be eX-
PEELED. The Don't Gossip Club" should not

Gubernatorial.

DR.. L. G. Hardman has entered upon his
canvass for the office of governor. The Com
merce physician is a splendid type of Geor-
gian He has met with unusual success in
the business world, and as a public man has
a Legislative record that shows his devotion
to the material progress and moral advance
ment of his state. But despite that there
are those, many of them, who think his can
didacy at this time is inoppOrtune, that the
incumbent, an old veteran with an honor
able record, high-toned Christian man and
a jurist of eminent ability, should not be
required to make a campaign before the
people for a second term, an honor that has
usually been accorded here in Georgia. But
to that view the friends of DR.. Hardman-
and he has them in every part of the state
emphatically dissent and only the ballots
of the sovereign voters will decide the issue
In the meantime there may be other an
nouncements

Spanked Them
From the New York World.

Small politics and smaller politicians re-
ceived a castigatiOn long to be remembered
when in the United States senate Thursday
John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi ad-
dressed himself to them for few minutes.
Evidence of Mr.. Williams ability has not
been wanting in the past, but on this occa-
sion he asserted commanding leadership in
a body that has not been notable for high
average of craftsmanship.
In his mastery arraignment of those Who
for political reasons or personal ends are
nagging the president into war with Great
Britain, Germany or Mexico Mr.. Williams
was as unsparing of democrats as of repubm-
cans. With courage equal to his candOr he
rebuked demagogues on both sides of the
chamber by asserting that he would not shed
drop of blood in quarrel over business or
property, even cotton, and as to the grayer
disputes over human life wantonly sacri-
feed he insisted that the matter must rest
in the president who is entirely competent
to deal with them
We believe that Mr.. Williams speaks not
only for the better part of the South, but
for the better part of the country. He is as
bold as truth and as circumspect as justice.
Formerly it was not unusual for a senator
of the United States to rise above PARTISAN
ship and address himself to the welfare of
the whole people In his revival of stand
ards long forgotten by those who play poll
tics and ignore duty Mr.. Williams honors
his country, his state and himself.

The Amazing Russians
From the New Republic.

The recuperatiye power OF Russian armies
is amazing and as the war continues Ger
man fear of the Slav peril becomes more and
more comprehensive. Last summer no one
expected a Russian offensive until the
spring and few expected it then; but already
General Ivanhoff has launched a general at
tack on the Austrian lines, and now the
Grand Duke Nicholas is advancing along the
whole length of the Caucasus front not to
mention the campaign in Persia. In all like
lihoOd the object of the Caucasus movement
is to prevent the reinforcement of the Meso-
potamian army from the north, and re-
treat of several kilometres" reported from
Constantinople proves that the Russians
have found a weak point in the Turkish
lines in the Arasa river zone. One wonders
where the Russian soldiers come from, but
above all one admires the Russian spirit.
Few people doubt now that the battle of the
Marine was won by a Russian sacrifice at
Tannnenberg, and today in order to try to
save TOwnsends ridiculously inferior force
at Kut on the Tigris, the grand duke drives
on through mountain snowdrifts, and sacri-
fees his muiks in the rOadless Businesses of
the Caucasus. No money, no lOan can ever
pay the debt which France, England and
Italy owe to Russia. 1t has become a COM
mon thing in this country to laugh at the
Russian steam roller" but they are not
laughing in Berlin.
