Colorado has taken to killing
Italians, believing, o doubt, that the
State is safe from a bombardment by
Italian warsbips.
Rice as four cents 8 pound is a long
way ahead of cotton at FIVE cents, and q
good many farmers will plant rice as a
money crop.
The moooshiaers Of the upper coun-
ties continue to pursue the Uneven tenor
of their way. and those who prefer the
pure mountain dew to d;spensary still
have the satisfaction of drinking it
occasionally.

Tom Watson, over in Georgia. is
pursuing a policy of moderation and
conciliation that is passing strange

Judge Simonsou has sent the dispen-
ssry law to the United States Supreme
Court, where it should have gone long
ago, and it is to be hoped that the en-
tire law will be taken up and sifted
through and through BY this highest
tribunal Of the land aud finally settled.
The Law is, on It's face, a monopoly, and
iutrrterss With between the
States as We'll as iofriuges the personal
liberty of the Individual citizen.
We have no doubt that the rabid
friends Of the %dispensary will proceed

The farmers who Intend using ferti-
lizers have adopted a plan that appears
to us as wise. They are. says Mr. D.
P. Duncan, manager of the State
Alliance Exchange. buying the
materials-cottou seed meal, etc-and
manipulating them into ammoniated
fertilizers themselves. By the adoption
of this plan the farmers will
save not less than s. per ton,
and will obtain fertilizers that are
as good in every respect . those
prepared by the fertilizers companies.
Gov. Evans refused to appoint the
gentleman nominated fer County
Treasurer. Of Charleston County at the
regular Democratic primary, and, 10
consequence. the regular Democrats Of
Charleston are somewha. indignant
and grieved. This action of Gov
Evans is a black speck in the bright
sky of reconciliation between the don't
nant element and Charleston. We are
not surprised that Gov. Evans did not
appoint the gentleman in Charleston
for we know that had be had sufhcien;
excuse he would DOT have appointed
