In circular letter to the Mayors and
Intendants Of cities and towns in the
State, Gov. McSweeney calls upon
them for information relative to the
enforcement of the liquor law. He
calls their attention to the necessity OF
seeing the dispensary law rigidly en-
forced, and wants to know if he can
depend upon these officers to assist him
in enforcing the law, and that the vio-
lators Of the same are arrested by the
police and brought before the proper
tribunals for trial. The Governor asks
the aid and views of these off :ers.
What he wants to know is will city
and town councils give the aid neces-
sary. AS far as Andersoni is concerned,
the Governor may rest assured that he
will have the hearty aid and co-opera-
tion of our city authorities. The dis
pensary law has always been enforced
here, and to-day there is not even a
suspicion of "blind tiger'' ii this city.

An exchange says: Talk about your
moral waves, but an epidemic OF COM
mon honesty between man and man is
what the country most needs. This
way of scowling like a thunderstorm
at the more open sins, while mans bus
mess obligations to his fellow man are
disregarded is not even philosophy"
There is not in all the books Il more
solid chunk Of wisdom or decency than
is contained in this paragraph. A man
who will not pay his obligations gets
NO in meetings and subscribes some
large amount to the preacher, to mis-
sions, to the poor, to the propagation
Of religion, when the best thing ne
could do would be to get some religion
for himself. True Christianity will not
allow any man to be generous before
he is Just. No human creature can re-
commend himself to Heaven by large
aims and a disregard for his own obi
cations. A man who can afford to give
in church has already settled his ac-
counts or is ready and willing TO do 1t
without any delay. Are VIC right

Can a Man Hold Two Offices !.

|. ME. EDITOR: d. H. Russell, editor of
the Peoples Advocate, as the writer
has been informed and believes, now
holds two offices-that Of Magistrate
and that Of Census Supervisor for the
Third Congressional District. (a) Can
any one in this State legally hold two
Offices at one and the same time?
(b) What will be the result Of the cases
that may be tried before D. H. Russell
and sent up to Court, since he qualified
as census SUPERVISOR CITIZEN.
[Sec. 2 OF Art. II of the Constitution
says: every qualified elector shall be
eligible to any Office to be voted for.
unless disqualified by age, as prescribed
in this Constitution. But no person
shallhold taco offices of honor or profit
at tic same time; provided, that any
person holding another Office may at
the same time be an officer in the mill
tia on a Notary Public" Itseems to us
that this is very plain. The position
of Magistrate is one Office and that of
Census Supervisor another, and COM
missions are issued in both positions
We are no lawyer, and do not know
what would be the legal effect of any
case sent up by Russell The question
could be answered by the Attorney
General, and we suggest that 'sCitizen,,'

member OF the County Board of Con-

city, the question was raised, and he
was told that he would have to give
up one of the positions. Under the

Henry M. Neill, the New Orleans Cots
ton expert, has announced his estimate ate
of this years cotton crop at 1s,ooo'Wo
bales, the largest ever made. His estl-
mates an to the crops Of the past few
years have been so near correct that the
great cotton markets Of the world be-
lieyc him, and the price is bound to go
down. The Government crop report
for August issued on the 10th inst.'
puts the condition of cotton at "a points
out Of possible 100. This isthe lowest
August average for ten years past.
South Carolina is foot in the cotton
class with a per centage OF IS. We
hope Mr.. Neill is mistaken in his esti-
mate and will soon change his figures.
Our only remedy is for the farmers to
hold their cotton off the market for
awhile.
