The total liabilities are 1897 900, and the

Portland feels happy over the prospect
OF the establishment there of an immense

Boston and Maine railroad made expert
ments in burning coke, which proved
successful. 1t is proposed now to build

| Nova Scotia mines, and manufacture
coke for use on the Boston and Maine and
Maine Central railroads, selling the by
products to the Portland Gas company 1t
would be necessary to have large area, as
one ton OF coal makes forty bushels of coke
and the Maine Central railroad alone now
uses something like 10000 tons of coal
| year. Storage would therefore become all
| important factor unless the roads dis
tributed the coke as fast as made.

Manager Newcomb testified that the COM
pany owned only one vessel, the "Penta-
goet" which was lost in the November
gale. A number of other vessels had been
leased. The expense of getting them from
the lakes and repairing them caused a
depletion of the capital. The creditors

Commenting on the recent face
tious deliverance of Solicitor
Henry before York county jury
the Abbeville Medium, Gen.
Hempbill's paper, remarks:
York county is the territory of
the First Associate Reformed
Presbytery, which denounced the
dispensary some years ago, but
said nothing against the barrooms
in the North Carolina part of the
Presbytery. Some of the Seceder
preachers were loud in their de-
nunciations of the Tirzah dlspen-
sary and fought for its removal,
but we have not heard u word
from them about the whiskey
drinking that has been going on
since that establishment was
closed.
We do not say anything about
our church or against these
preachers, but they certainly can
not afford to be Indifferent under
the present circumstances. So far
as the law stands, they have
prohibition now, but Solicitor
Henry cannot enforce the law un
less he has the support of the
juries of York. There is a solemn
responsibility on the preachers of
York in this emergency.
The result of their Iabors SO
far has been to remove the Tirzah
dispensary and open the way for
contraband whiskey brought over
the line from the grogshops of
North Carolina. What will they
do about itl
General Hemphill fully under>
stands that in North Carolina the
Presbytery is not made party
to the sale of liquor, while IN
South Carolina it is made part
ner with the dispensary in"deailng
out helltire by the pint" as Rev.
ROD Plyler used to say.
We believe the record will
show as many convictions in
York as in any other county in
the State of persons indicted for
selling blind tiger liquor in VIOLA
tion of the dispensary law.-Ro ok

A bridge over the Catawba is
very desirable, but it would pay
in safety for the extra cost to
have it some distance from the
railroad bridge.
