NOT MADE PUBLIC YET.

Several of the daily papers have under
taken to discuss the "Roddey Plan"
without being acquainted with the de-
tails, and in the Columbia Register, OF
yesterday, Mr.. Roddey publishes the
following:
'I desire to state, through the columns
of The Register, that my plan has not
been given out; that I did not ask the
adoption of any plan in Columbia, and
that comments on anything unknown,
credited to me, seem rather an injustice.
I have the very great satisfaction Of hav-
ing confidentially discussed it with some
of the most prominent, Intelligent and
practical business men in the south, as
we'll as some prominent southerners now
in New York, and have yet to find one
who does not approve of it. When the
charter is granted and the plan given out,
I believe not only every farmer, but the
press and business men, will unite in
trying to bring out the desired end. We
must all agree that everybody must work
as unit, for unquestionably we all are
unit in the desire to better the condi-
ton of the SOUTH"

THE YoRKvILLE ENQUIRER takes
The Herald to task for stating last We'd
nesday that the defeat of Mr.. w. j. Cher.
ry in the late primary election showed
conclusively "that sectional lines were
drawn" The ENQUIRER is entitled to
it's opinions, as we are to ours. Believing
what we wrote to be the truth, we had no
hesitancy in expressing the opinion we
did, and THE ENQUIRER has not yet con-
vinced us that we were wrong. When II
says that Mr.. Cherry was not as we'll,
known as Mr.. johnson it assuredly did
not intend that it's remark should apply, to
Yorkyille, where Mr.. Cherry is we'll
known to all the voters. THE ENQUIRER
may argufy and squeak as it will but the
fact that they are "agin us" is palmer
still.-Rock Hill Herald.
That The Herald is open to conviction,
we have not the slightest shadow OF
doubt; but we are more than curious to
see the remarkable array of facts by
which it can be convinced. We thought,
for a time, that the returns from the re-
cent election were peculiarly adapted to
the purpose. Figures, however, being
unable to prevaricate, it seems that such
a task is beyond their power.

- That is wonderful story told in an
other column by Mr.. E. D. Thompson, of
Point, and should be read and studied by
every cotton grower in the land. What
Mr.. Thompson has done, ought to be
done by any other farmer who will use
the same means, and as it is clear pro-
position that cotton production, to con-
tinue profitable, must rapidly drift into
the system here so well demonstrated
and described, those who are first to fol-
low along the path that Mr.. Thompson
is blazing out, ought to be the quickest to
reach the goal of success. We feel called
upon to congratulate Mr.. Thompson for
his splendid achievement, and, incident
ally, it might be remarked that all the
cotton growers of this section have a
right to considerable pride in the fact that
York county has broken the states record
for single acres production.

CIRCUIT COURT.

Owing to the unexpected coming up Of
case which, it was thought, would not
be pressed for trial during the present
term, Judge Benet was unable to dis
charge the jurors on Wednesday after
noon as previously promised.
When his honor became aware, on
Wednesday, that he would be compelled
to hold the jurors over for another day,
he explained that they could not be COM
PEELED to serve on Thanksgiving, Day and
gave them the choice of working that
day or Friday. All were anxious to get
through, and they voted unanimously to
work on Thanksgiving Day.
The case of Martha E. Poag against j.
w. Dobson consumed all of "Wednesday,
the jury returning sealed verdict on
Thursday morning. The verdict was in
favor of the plaintiff, giving her three
quarters of an acre Of land in dispute
and damages to the amount of $50 for
fence that had been destroyed by the de-
fendant.
The next case was that of Miller & Har-
rison against J. Nj. and NJ. E. Taylor.
This was a suit on planters Register
note. The jury found for the plaintiffs in
the sum of Sl45.5O. Counsel for the de-
fence gave notice of motion for new
trial.
There being no further business for the
Jurors after the conclusion of this case,
his honor thanked them for their patient
and painstaking work, and at 4 O'Clock,
Thursday afternoon, discharged them
from further attendance.
Mr.. Jos. A. Smith, foreman of jury No.
2, speaking in behalf Of all the jurors,
has requested the reporter to make pub
lie acknowledgement of their apprecia-
ton of Judge Benets thoughtful kindness
and consideration as evidenced by his
honor at every opportunity during their
term of service.

government has arranged to leave the
$13, 100000 on deposit in the vaults of
the banks. The remainder of the pur-
chase money will be paid into the
treasury from time to time as the in

disbursements for its subsidy bonds, of
which nearly $30,0eO,000 fall due on
January /. The treasury will receive
no benefit from these transfers of funds,
as the money paid in will be absorbed
in retiring bonds pr recouping the

- The position assumed by Governor
Ellerbe with regard to the dispensary,
seems to be as nearly straight prohi-
bition as the most ardent Prohibition
ist could ask for. This is especially
true should the governor finally declare
for a restriction of sales to strict medi-
cinal and sacramental purposes, and the
probability is that from now on the
fight will be along the lines the gov
ernor has laid down.

The Registration Law.

Columbia State: After January l,
next, which is now very close at hand,
the registration laws of South Carroll
ma will be on velvet. That was the
way a lawyer expressed it yesterday.
The reason for this statement is that
on and after that day the simple edu-
cational and property qualifications for
the franchise will be all to remain OF
the suffrage scheme devised in the late
constitutional convention. The Gun
derstanding clause" will on that date
become a thing of the past, and in the
future no legal pitfall will stand in tAe
way of the stability of the suffrage ar
ticle.

- The Abbeville Press and Banner
suggests that instead of abolishing the
dispensary constabulary, the administra-
ton should seek to improve the service
by employing higher priced constables.
Maybe there is something in this sugges-
ton, for experience has certainly not
proved the wisdom Of entrusting powers
of life and death with the two-dollar a.
day kind.

- The Columbia State, of yesterday,
contained an editorial endorsing the ad-
ministration of Governor Ellerbe. The
governor has been the butt of more vi

torial in question, coming at this time is,
to say the least, refreshing.

HELP FOR SPAIN.
England and France Will Not Permit
the q. S. to Aid Cuba.

st. Louis, Mo-, Sept. 9.-Comte Henri
Di Pinaloza, who has been visiting
friends in St. Louis for a few days, said
that the runor of an understanding be
tween Spain and other European ma
tions looking to a check upon American
interference with Cuba was confirmed
by information which came to him from
high authority. Di Pinaloza has been
introduced in st. Louis as member of
an old Spanish family whose sympa-
thies are with the Carlist party, but
whose connections with high politics in
Spain keep them posted on most OF the
important diplomatic movements
He said: Some time last September
when the Cuban question was so much
agitated in the United States, even to
the point of furnishing planks to the
declara tions of presidential conventions,
senior Canovas del Castillo, then prime
minister of Spain, received assurances
from the English and French govern
ments through their representative in
action on the part of the United States
other than very perfunctory recogni-
ton of the belligerency of the insur-
gents
: 'On August 5, before leaving Paris, I
learned from trustworthy sources that
this assurance had been renewed. Cen
eral Azcarraza, the new premier, has
received the French and English am
bassa dors who have once more assured
Spain of the sympath of their govern
rnents and of their willingness to give
her their diplomatic help"

ELLERBE'S THREATS.
Won't Stop Railroads Carrying Liq-
uor Into South Carolina.

Columbia, S. c., Sept. 9-Governor
Ellerbe has theatened to either prevent
the railroads from bringing liquor into
the state for the use of original pack
age houses or to get the roads ground
between state and federal antagonistic
laws. Railroad people are not disturb
ed at the prospect of losing the char
terS, which would result if Governor
Ellerbe's threat was carried into execu-
ton. Some of the roads, they say,
would find it more profitable to be
without a charter, as they own their
road beds and could continue to run
private enterprises and with great
saving of interest on bonds But the
governors threat is considered much as
a bluff from which nothing will come.
The situation is this: The legislature
passed an act at it's last session pro-
viding that if a railroad corporation on
being sued by the state in state court
went into the United States court to
escape the issue its charter shall be for
feited- Now, Governor Ellerbe says he
proposes to apply to the roads the dis
pensary law, which prohibits common
carriers transporting liquor in this state
except for the dispensary. This law
fixes penalty of $500 for each offense,
and the roads could not stand that as
daily thing. Then if they go to the
United States court their charters will
be forfeited by the state law.
A prominent official says, as they are
forced to carry these goods under Uni
ted States laws, that they would con-
tinue to do so. whatever the conse-
quences, and take their chances of pro-
lection.
