PROTESTING Pharmacists.
Additional Argument Against the
Alcohol I'm the Arts Tariff.


Alcohol in the Arts Tariff.
Charles A Catterhill, representing Parke,
Davis & Co. of Detroit. said to be the
largest general manufacturing pharmacists
in the world, had a conference with the
treasury officials today In regard to the
section Of the new tariff act exempting
from tax all alcohol used in the arts and in
medicinal preparations. Although very large
users Of alcohol, this firm is strongly OPP
posed to this provision In the new act. One
Of their principal objections is that they
claim 1t would open the door for the sale of
numberiess inert, worthless or harmful COM
pounds miscalled medicines. They contend
that manufacturing druggists throughout
the country should constantly strive to
elevate and purify pharmacy, and as
means to this end should do all in their
power to discourage the manufacture and
sale of quack compounds Of every char
acter. This new provision, 1t Is asserted,
would result In flooding the country with
preparations that would certainly prove a
menace to the lives and health of tnous-
ands, particularly of the poorer classes, by
whom they would be largely purchased.

AMERICAN CATTLE ABROAD.
Institution of Rigorous Quarantine n
Belgium and Its Causes.


Secretary Morton is in receipt of advice
from the Secretary Of State Of a cable re-
cefved from the United States minister at
Brussels to the effect that an order of the
Belgium government subjects all American
cattle to forty-five days quarantine. An
exception is made for cattle en- route before
August %. but this only on condition that
they be killed at the public slaughter house
on arrival DR.. ID. E. Salmon, chief Of the
bureau of animal industry, referring to this
quarantine, said: I'VE were building I'D
quite a little trade in cattle with Belgium.
line Of cattle ships having been establish
ed between New York and Antwerp. This
exception noted in regard to cattle shipped
before August 20 indicates that the conces-
sion allowed by the British government
permitting the landing of cattle provided
they be slaughtered within ten days with
out leaving the dock is not to be accorded
by the Belgium government. The alleged
cause Of these restrictions is the sickness

pronounced to be contagious pleuro-pneu-

vigorously kicking against John Gary

Sumter Freeman, an Alliance paper, he
says:
Farmers of the State, in 1890 we went
into the Farmers Movement to crush q
big ring that the people might enjoy
their rights and liberties, and secure re-
lief from oppression. The fundamental
principle of the Farmers Movement was
that we would have direct primary for
State officers. The ring was crushed

chinery to hold the offices and hold the
money that is in them, they found little
ring IN big one-a condition worse than
ever before. They have suggested
through the little ring a reckless strip

tend through the big rings 10 force him
on US. This STRIPPING, In the recent cam
paign in the State, contributed largely to
making it disgrace to baroarism. He
declared against peace in the State. He
advocated strife and blo0dshed. He
cares not whose blood is shod, if he can
crafty his vaulting ambition. The at
tempt to force this mad youngster on the
country in this way is an insult to
every farmer who went into the move

Farmers of the State, yes, Carolinians
all, will you stand by idly and see this
reckless chap elected Governor of this
State and subject to his caprice the lives
of your wives and children and all Of
your property? Never, no, never, un-
less you have lost your love for them and

Question OF the Hour.

CoMUMBIA, S. c., September 1.-The
Supreme Court has been called to decide
the validity Of the dispensary law of 1898.
Chief Justice McIver has written that
after consultation with the other mem
bers Of the Court, and in consideration of
the importance of the matter, that the
Court had agreed to meet as soon rs the
agreement could be made between the
counsel engaged to submit the appeal at
an extra session of the Supreme Court.
The papers have been prepared and the
agreement will be signed to-day.
While it is not known exactly when
the Court will meet, it is generally ex-
pected, for some reason, that it will as
semble here about the 10th of the month
to take up the diispensary cases.
The Aiken and Greenville cases,
which, by consent, will involve the con-
stitutionality of the law, will be made
the basis for the arguments.
It is possible that the entire argument
will not take over day. So far as
can be learned the only counsel engaged
in these cases are those originally engag-
ed.
This morning I had a talk with one Of
the lawyers engaged in the original fight
and he said without boasting that he has
no doubt in the world that the law can
be upset In the highest Courts, and
that the final decision only depended
upon the way in which the fight would be
made.
There was some talk of getting out
series of injunctions, but it is more than
likely that nothing would come out of
the matter.-,Spccial to Nc,cS and Con
