S. C. President Taft seerns to be in favor of most any old scheme that will help the trusts get their hands in the people's pocket. Mr. Harley says we know that his father was not even, a member of the Baptist church, much less a deacon.

We never said he was either. No doubt his father was a most estimable citizen, but we knew no more about his church relations than we know of thousands of other good men. The News and Courier finds it necessary to let it be known that it does not endorse some of the schemes advocated by President Tatt to make it easier for the trusts to get their hands deeper in the people's pockets. We fear that Brer Taft has nailed the last spikes in he coffin of the Taft party launcheu by our Charleston contemporary. The article Mr.

Harley takes us to task for publishing was sent to The State by Mr. W. P. Calhoun of Edgefield, aud published in that paper nearly three weeks ago. Why did not Mr.

Harley jump on Mr. Calhoun and the State who first originated and published the article instead of The Times and Democrat for making extracts from it? Rev. Mr. Harley charged that newspapers are being bought up by the brewers' association, and because w6' said the revierend gentleman ojught to be more specific and name tho? newspapers thajt have been bought up by the brewers' he wants us crucified. It is the stock in trade of all demagogues to fly blow those newspapers they cannot induce to sing their praises.

Rev. Mr. Harley says we have known him from his youth. The reverend gentleman has certainly slipped a cog. We never heard of him uutil a few years' ago.

We know it is an unpardonable sin in the 'sight of the gentleman, and a great misfortune to us personally, not to have known such a distinguished gentleman from the time that he donned swaddling clothes, but it can't be helped now. fear that Rev. G. W. Gardner, of the Greenwood Journal, has fallen from grace.

We notice that he has a half column circus advertisement and an iUustration showing the street parade of the same circus in the last isBue of his paper. We that Brother Gardner holds that an editor should not advertise anything in his paper that he can't endorse in his editorial columns. Does Brother Gardner endorse the circus he is advertising? By an ingenious arrangement of figures to meet their own desire, it' is very easy for people to delude themselves into the belief that the world will come to an end on a certain date. Considering how old world continues to go on undisturbed in spite of the innumerable times that have so confidently been sec for its break up, the wonder is that the prophets of such woe do not get discouraged and quit. But they do not even in this enlightened twentieth century.

The Rev. Mr. Harley says he will stand by the church and the right if he has to wade through an army of devils neck deep. That is a few more devils than we care to encounter at one time, but we do not thiuk the church needs powerful deyil fighters as Mr. Harley seems to think he is, as badly as it does pious, consecrated preachers, who refuse to lay down the preachlug of the gospel for another job.

although it may pay him twice as much money. In his diatribe Mr. Harley says, "your attempt to slander me. and especially the name of my deceased father, will not be tolerated." The Times and Democrat denies slandering either Mr. Harley or his deceased father.

After we copied Mr. CaJhoun wrote about Mr. Harley's Speech saying his father ran a still, we.made the comment that Mr. Harley pretty severe on tho old folks, even if what he said about tbem was true. Nothing slanderous about that comment.

Mr. Harley says "I shall stand by my gun in defense of my ancestors; in defense of the church and the right, if I have to wade through an army of devils neck deep." That reminds us of a statement once made by a man that he would secure the rights of the people if be had to ride through blood up to bis stirrups. That man was never called on to swim through his sea of gore and we hope Mr. Harley will never be called on to wade through an army of devils more than knee deep. The Facts in the Case.

No doubt those of our readers who perused the blood and thunder article of, Mr. Barley's published in The Times and Democrat of last Thursday thought we were guilty of a most heinous crime, unless the innocent article pub-' lished by us on September 25, which called forth the reverend gentleman's bitter diatribe. In order that our readers may havje their memories refreshed so as they can judge of' our great crime, we will republish the articles that have so stirred the indignation of the reverend gentleman. On Saturday, September 25, I we published th'e following under the caption "Hard on the Old Folks:" In a communication from Edgefield to The State, Mr. W.

P. houn tells of a speech made there 1 by Rev. J. L. Harley, State Superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, last Sunday afternoon.

He says, among other things, Mr. Harley stated, with much vim, "that down in Barnwell county where he was born, his father, a deacon, ran a still, his uncle, a deacon, a bar, and that the members of the church brought their fruit and other things to the still to be turned into brandy. That even the little boys drank and that sometimes when he was sent to pen "the calves he could not tell whether he was going to the fence or the fence was coming to him. He thanked God that those old days were gone and that now we had gentlemen." It will be noticed, we gave the source from where we got the article, as well as the "name of the gentleman who wrote it. In commenting on the article we said we thought Mr.

Harley was pretty heavy on the old folks, even if what he said about them was true. Our comment shows that we did not accept the statement without some doubt. We also said we did not know that such a condition ever existed anywhere in South Carolina among church people, as Mr. Harley says existed at his boyhood home In Barnwell county. We repeated the statement made by Mr.

Calhoun, quoted above, that Mr. Harley said when he was a boy he tanked up so on brandy that when, he was sent to pen the calves he could not tell whether he was going to the fence or the fence was coming to him. and made the comment that while we believe confession is good for the soul, we doubt very much If the parading of his youthful depravity by a man will help any one to a better life. The article which Mr. Harley complains of, and which he adroitly tries to make public believe was written by us, was, as we stated above, written by Mr.

W. P. Calhoun, of Edgefieli, and published in the Columbia State nearly three weeks ago. Just why the reverend gentleman ignored it until some one here sent him a copy of The Times and Democrat containing an extract from Calhoun's article, is one phase of Mr. H.arley's indignation that we cannot understand.

While we have no desire to 'shirk responsibility for repui'Ushing the extract from the article ire did, at the same time it seems to us that Mr. Harley should seek redress first from the man who wrote the article and who lives at the place where his alleged speech Is said to have been made, before tackling a newspaper published a hundred miles away from the scene of the offence for publishing a very small extract from the alleged offensive article. That is what we would do if we wanted to get at the truth. While The Times and Democrat has not as exalted an opinion of the Rev. J.

L. Harley as he evidently has of himself, we certainly have no desire to do him an injustice, and would have published any denial he might have made of Mr. Calhoun's article concerning that speech he is alleged to have made at Edigefield. We know nothing of the facts by Mr. Calhoun, but we know him to be an honest, hightoned gentleman, and feel sure that if he has done Mr.

Harley an injustice he will gladly correct the same if his attention is called to the matter. After the Wrong Man. In his diatribe published in The Times and Democrat last Thursday, Rev. J. L.

Harley accuses us of saying: Rev. J. L. Harley says his father was a deacon and ran a still, and his uncle was a deacon and ran a bar, and all the church members carried their fruit and other things to the still to be turned into fhen. with a great flourish of trumpets, pretending that he does not know we published the above paragraph on the authority of an honorable, high-toned gentleman, who published it in The State over two weeks ago.

the Rev. Mr. Harley makes this grand stand play: Now. Sir, I call upon you to tell when you ever heard me, or knew me to ever make any such statement, anywhere or at any time. Mr.

Harley knows that this is a I safe challenge, because he knows i that we never claimed to have heard him make any such a statement. Hut Mr. Harley knows who did charge him in the columns of the Columbia State with making the statement that he tries to saddle on us. As a refresher for Mr. Harley's memory we will state that the statement was made by Mr.

W. P. Calhoun. of Edigefield, over his own signature. Mr.

Harley should get a retraction from Mr. Calhoun if he wants to set himself right, as that gentleman originated the charge. A retraction from a paper that only published an extract of the original article would amount to nothing, as it would leave the original charge unretracted. We Demand the Proof. In his scurrilous screed published in the last issue of The Times and Democrat the Rev.

J. L. Harley makes this slanderous and untruthful charge against The Times and Democrat: "All I ask of you and the other few papers that are fighting the prohibition movement in this State, is to publish the truth. Your attempt to Btab the Superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League and thereby hurt the cause, is understood." The charge contained in the above paragraph is specific, and, of course, no high-toned, honorable gentleman would make such a charge unless he had the data to prove it if called on to do so. Mr.

Harley accuses The Times and Democrat of fighting the prohibition movement in this State. We pronounce this statement an absolute, unqualified, falsehood, and we demand that Mr. Harley make good his charge by the proof or stand a confessed falsfier of the' truth. We do not propose to allow Mr. Harley or any other man to wilfully misrepresent The Times and Democrat without demanding his proof.

The prohibition movement is a much bigger thing than the bombastic Superintendent of the AntiSaloon League, as big and important as he thinks he is. If we wanted to attack it, we would strike at a more vital part of the organization than we conceive a well-paid agent of the organization to be. GALLANT FOES HONORED.

Dear Sirs: For a number of years I have been a great sufferer of Rheumatism and Backache.
