To BE Investigated.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Sept. 10.--If what
has been whispered about in the last
few days since the revelations made
by Governor Evans as to!what certain
people know about the affairs OF the
State dispensary be true, then the
outside world may look for spicy
reading next week bearing upon the
big State scandal. The State board of
control has been called in extra session
to fully investigate the scandal a1d
see what is behind it. Colonel Willie
Jones, chairman of the State board OF
control of the State dispensary, yester-
day notified the four other members
of the board that there would be an
extra session on Tuesday night next.
The first Tuesday night in each month
is the time for regular meetings. He
was seen by representative of The
State and asked why he was going to
hold an extra meeting. He replied
that in view of the recent charges
made by Governor Evans against Lii
quor Commissioner Mixson he did not
see how the State board could do other
wise than investigate the matter.
There vera charges and counter
charges by Governor Evans and Com
missioner Mixson and these naturally
reflected upon the management of the
dispensary In fact, if charges like
those of Governor Evans had been
made by any reputable citizen it would
rest on the board to sift the matter.
This investigation was due the board
itself, he said. and due the people of
the State, and due also Commissioner
Mixson. In answer to the question of
what the probable action OF the board
would be, he replied that he did not
know. As chairman of the State
board he felt that it rested upon him
to assemble the board and let it take
whatever action it saw proper. In
his letter OF notification to the board
he made no mention of his reasons for
calling the meeting, but simply
stated that certain business demanded
their immediate attention.

The actual crop of Texas is given at

The crop Of Oklahoma Territory

cotton bale during the past season was
lighter than for the previous one by
6.S pounds, equal on the whole crop to

give him forhis remarkably early and

The Last Cotton Crop.

The Atlanta Journal very justly says
Mr.. Hester, secretary OF the New Or
leans Cotton Exchange, has accom-
plished remarkable feat. The cotton
crop year of 1s95-96 ended August 81,
and On the next day Mr.. Hester pub
lished to the world the size of the cot
ton crop of tae United States, the de-
tails of its market and its consumption
as far as it had gone The Journal
says hitherto several weeks have
elapsed after the close of the cotton
year before this information could be
obtained. In giving it on September
l, Mr.. Hester has shown great enter
prise. The high character of the New
Orleans Cotton Exchange and Mr..
Hester's own record make confidence
strong in the reliability of his report.
The cotton trade is greatly indebted to
him for the pronptness with which he
has obtained and given out the impor-
tant facts as to the last cotton crop.
He makes the cotton crop OF 1885
Z, ,157, ,346 bales. as compared with q
crop of 1901, ,251 for the preceding
year. a falling Off of nearly 5000, 900
bales in the cotton production
is serious matter: but it result
ed mainly from systematic, and gem
eral reduction of acreage, the higher
prices which resulted enabling the
farmers to realize better results from
their crops of last year, short as they
were, than followed from the sale OF
the enormous yield Of 189495. Mr..
Hester shows that Southern mills have
consumed 904, 701 bales of cotton, as
compared with S62, ,S3S during the pre-
ceding year. This represents q very
handsome increase in consumption, :
which is the more interesting from the
fact that the takings of northern mills
show heavy falling off. Northern
spinners consumed 100000 bales. as
against 2.0S3, 600 bales last year, 8 re-
duction in the consumption of nearly
500, 600 bales. In these figures isfound
striking evidence of the drift of the
cotton mill industry toward the south.
Mr.. Hester will make at an early day
a report of his investigations into the
workings of southern mills, and ii will
undoubtedly contain much interesting
information.

their legally chosen representatives,
are because of their more intimate &C.
quaintance with LEGAL conditions, bet.
ter qualified than the President to
judge of the necessity for federal inter
ference. Those who framed our Con
stitution wisly determined to make as
broad an application of the principles
of local self-government as circum-
STAGES would permit, and we cannot
dispute thecorrectness of the position
taken by them without expressing a
distrust of the people themselves.
Since governments exists for the
protection OF the rights Of the people
and not for their spoliation, no ex-
penditure Of public money can be JUS
titled, unless that expenditure is nec-
essary for the honest, economical ad-
nainistration of the government. In
determining what appropriations are
necessary, the interest Of those who
pay the taxes should be consulted
rather than the wishes of those who
receive or disburse public moneys.
An increase in the bonded debt OF
the United States at this time is en-
tirely without excuse. The issue Of
interest bearing bonds within the last
few years has been defended on the
ground that they were necessary to
secure gold with which to redeem
United States notes and treasury notes :;
but this necessity has been imaginary
rather than real. instead of exercis-
ing the legal right vested in the Uni
ted States to redeem its bonds in either
gold or silver, the executive branch OF
the government has followed prece-
dent established by former admins
tration and surrendered the option to
the holder OF the obligations. This
administrative policy leaves the gov
ernment at the mercy Of those who
find pecuniary profit in bond issues.
The tact that the dealers in money
and securities have been able 10 de-
plete or protect the treasury according
to their changing whims shows how
dangerous it is TO permit them to ex-
ercise controlling influence over the
treasury Department. The government

financial policy, NC only without the
aid of syndicates, B in spite of any
opposition which I'd syndicate may

allowed to use their powers Tor the
public injury.
The right of the United States gov
ernment to regulate interstate COM
merce cannot be questioned, and the
necessity Of the vigorous exercise Of
that right is becoming more and more
imperative. The interests of the
whole people require sucn an enlarge
ment of the powers of the interstate
commerce commission as will enable
it to prevent discrimination between
persons and places and protect patrons
from unreasonable charges
The government cannot afford to
discriminate between its debtors and
must therefore prosecute its legal
claims against the Pacific railroads.
Such policy is necessary for the pro-
lection of the rights of the patrons,
as well as for the interests OF the gov
ernment
The people of the United States,
happy in the enjoyment of the bless
ings free government, feel gener-
ssympath toward all VINO are en-
deavoring to secure like blessings for
themselves. This sympathy, while re-
specting all treaty obligations, is es-
peciaily active and earnest when ey
cited by the struggling of neighboring
people, who, like the Cubans, are
near enough TO observe the workings
of a government which derives all its
authority from the consent Of the
governed.
That the American people are not
in favor of life tenure in the civil ser
vice is evident from the fact that
they. as a rule, make frequent chang
es in their official representatives
when those representatives are chos-
en- by ballot. A permanent Of
tice-holding class is not in harmony
with our Institutions. A fixed term Ia
appointive Offices, except where the
Federal Constitution now provides
otherwise, would open the public ser
vice to larger number OF citizens
without impairing It's efficiency.

give way as soon as the territory IS
sufficiently advanced to take its place
