The only unpleasant thing that oc-
Cured was the fact that quite a num-
Der OF those who partuok of break
fast at the Post room in the morning
became suddenly and very seriously
sick, showing symptoms of poisoning
Some of them recovered in a short
time while others did not get over it
until the next day. Several went
home on the first train. Just what
the cause of the sickness was nobody
was able to discover. There were
wild reports and statements, but all
recovered. Whatever was the cause
nobody was disposed to blame the
people of No. Troy who had taken so
great pains to treat the visitors with
more than ordinary kindness. The
visit, outside of the matter of the
sickness, will be remembered with
pleasure by all who were present.

A special from Orangeburg TO the Charles
ton News and Courier says: For some time a
petition for establishing a dispepsary at Ello-
rec, in this county. has been before the county
board OF control The matter had. however,
not come up for final action until at the last
meeting Of the board this week. 1t seems
that ceI tain parties have been creating nu-
meFous new freeholders in the LaurenS style.
for the purpose OF furthertng the chances for
the esta blfshment of the EllOree diSoenSary.
Readers Of the News and Courier are doubt
less familiar with what is known as the
Laurens syle. The requisite number OF free
holders could not be obtained to petition for
establishing dispensary at Laurens, so some
bright mind conceived the idea OF dividing
up a big piece Of land and giving numerous
nOn-freeholGer5 titles TO lots the size of the
kind that one buys on paper sometimes, never
hearing any more Of his title or land This
mOnstrouS scheme worked in LauTens and the
town got a dispensary The same circum-
the Laurens board we're in the Elloree case
scheme didn't 20 here. The temperance So
ciety a Elloree sent up MFR. Sturges. with
instructions TO go before the board with an
attorney and tight the issue to the bitter end
Mr.. Sturgess requested Robert Lide, formerly
OF Elloree, but now bright young law stu
dent IN the Office Of Capt. B, Hart Moss, to
take the matter in hand. The board gave Mr.
Lide an attentive hearing. and, after some
deliberation, decided that IL would be very
dangerous precedent to establish dispen-
s2ry upOn the strength Of such petition as
| the one presented by the Eloree applicant.

~@E-s5scgI ITALIA
Italia Sc ha ocupado con excessive
cello en- estos 11ltimos amos de los
asuntos marroqu1es. Parece asimis-
mo que Sc ha esforzado en- ganarse
las simpat1as del emperador dc Ma
rruecos y de los principales persona
jes del pals.
No creemos, sin embargo, y sobre
todo en- el estado actual de sus fnan-
zas, que tenga decision de apoderarse
de territorio alguno africano. Italia
estA llamada ciertamente a jugar un
gran papel en- Ell Africa del Norte !;
pero muy especialmente por ell lado
de Tr1poli, del Fezzan y de la eyre
naica, desde donde podr1a penetrar
en- el Sudan Oriental. Como quiera
que estos paises no estan vacantes,
tiene Italia sobrado tempo para pre-
pararse esta obra que Sc avendr1a
muy NAL con la desastrosa situacion
fnanciera en- que SO encuentra. No
obstante, 81 Marruecos viniera a una
completa disgregaci6n que permitie-
ra q Italia establecerse en- uno de los
cinco Q seis puertos del Atlantico,
quizas no le fuera la empresa impo-
sible a condici6n de no dejarse ganar
en- velocidad por Inglaterra, Alema-
MIA i otra cualquier potencia; pero
de cualquier modo no ser1a otra oosa
que una satisfaction de amor propio.
EsPANA Y FRANCIA
Como verdaderos herederos de Ma
rruecos no puede haber mas que dos
naciones, Espana Francia no pen

ces la opinion de que ser1a una gran

leguas de costas en- ell Norte de Afri-
ca, pudiendo llevar gradualmente

lazar nuestras posesiones del Medi-
terraneo y Senegal, y quizas hasta el
mlsmo Congo, tenemos en- Que pen

conquistas amparandonosd de una gran
parte del imperio de Marruecos.
Debemos facilitar Espana la po-
session de semeiantes territories por-
que Espana es el mejor vecino que
podemos tener. Espana, debemos
anadir, no tiene ning1n inter6s en-
precipitar la caida del imperio de
Marruecos, porque la conquista de
este pals, a juzgar por nuestra expe
riencia en Argelia, le costar1a muy
bien un cuarto de siglo y como dos
mil millones de pesetas.
Hubiera sido prudente prepararse
esta empresa gigantesca por una
grande econom1a, y la restauraci6n
s6ria de la que esta bien lejos-de
las fnanzas espanolas. Una parte, sin
embargo, de Marruecos nos acude a
la mente, pero es seguramente la me
nos importante; a saber: la region

CONSIDERACIONES


Ell conficto de los espanoles y mo-
ros en- territorio rifeno ha tornado
s1bitamente importantes proporcio
nes. Dada la situaci6n y grado civi-
Gzador del pals en- que Sc desarrollan
cabe pensar y preguntarse cuales
seran sus consecuencias y cual su re-
percussion. Sc acepta hace va tempo
que ell imperio de Marruecos es una
especie de moribundo cuya herencia
suscita rivalidades ce1os5os. Aun-
que pensamos y presumimos que VI
vira todav1a algunos amos, no esta
fuera de razon y de l6gica Ell que exa-
minemos las eventualidades que pue-
de suscitar la dislocaci6n de este Es-
tado.
En- realidad de verdad, en- derredor
de Marruecos SO agitan mas que CO.
dicias, celostas. Sera en- cua!quier case
cuando suene la hora de la disolu
ci6n una presa dif1cil de repartir y
mas dif1cil de asimilar.
Inglaterra, que es una potencia
martina no una potencia militar,
que tiene va bastantes responsible
dades en- las Indias y ell Sud de Afri-
ca, no tiene pretension alguna de
&poderarse de aquel vasto territorio.
Sabe Inglaterra que los marroqu1es
no son los egipcios y que no bastar1a
una batalla como Ia de Tell el-Kebier
para garantizarle la possession de un
semejante y tan vasto pals. Pero
siguiendo su tactica traditional es
natural que SO apoderar1a vozmntaria-
mente de uno de los principales puer-
tos de Tanger indudablemente, pues
todos los pol1ticos ingleses 10 desig-
nan asf desde hace tempo, 10 cual
con su reciente establecimiento en- Ell
cabo JUDY sobi i borde del Sahara
septentrional le asegurar1a dos puer-
tos importantes al Norte y cerca de
la frontera meridional de Marruecos.
Sc ha pretendido vislumbrar, hace
una quincena de amos, un concurren-
te eventual q Ia succession del empera-
dor de Marruecos, en-. 80 la Alema-
MIA. Los alemanes tienen va muchos
negocios en- Cameron, en- Togo, en- ell
Este africano, en- Damevaland y en-
ell pals de los Namaguas. Debemos
consignar que hasta el presente el
Africa rccibe media'aGmeaate los ale
names. No pensamos que el Gobier
no aleman quiera echar sobre sus
hombros un nsgocio militar y fnan-
ciero de tan grueso calibre como la
conquista de Marruecos, adn en- el
case de que este pals cayera en- su
completa disoluci6n. ST los alemanes
acometieran semejante empresa Sc
debilitarian demasiado en- Europa;
sus fanzas Sc derrotar1an y su ejer-
cito sufrirfa mucho. Por otra parte,
como colonia de poblaci6n, Marrue
cos convendr1a muy POGO a los ale
names, que tienen y sufren, como es
sabido, una gran mortalidad en- la
Argelia contra una debil1sima nata

The present winter has been
very severe all over the northwest.
There is said to be more snow now
on the west slope of the Cascade
Mountains than has been known
before in many years. The Co
lumbia River has been frozen over
SO that people have crossed it in
many places where strong ice has
formed this year for the first time
in the memory of men. The loss
among cattle in some districts has
been slight, in others exceedingly
heavy. In Kittitas county, Wash,
fully three-fourths of the range
cattle have perished. The snow,
which on some ranges is waist
deep, has kept the animals from
the grass uLtil they died of hunger
and cold.

Feather beds have an inexplica-
BILE and undeserved popularity in
the southern states. Even in sum-
mer the northern visitor meets
the solicitous inquiry, "will you
have a feather bed?" and it is the
ambition of every negro house
wife to possess such a bed. An
old colored woman, who came
north leaving her husband behind
her in Virginia, bemoaned the
fact that she had not heard from
home for many weeks, but aston
ished these who suggested that
doubtless her husband was in good
health, by the announcement that
she was not worrying about the
old man, but lest he should have
sold her feather bed. It would be
easy enough to get a new husband,
she affirmed, bnt it hardly fell to
the lot of mortal colored woman to
own two feather beds in the course
of lifetime.
