In the Democratic primary election
OF last year the vote on the whiskey
question In Anderson County was as
follows: Prohibition, 1889; Dispensary,
1881; License, 536. If the Democratic
party would leave the question to be
settled in the primary election next
year, and agree to abide by the decls-
ion of the people, the tlispensary law
would be wiped out of existence. Let
the people pass judgment on the law
and the result will forever settle the
question.

A dispatch says that money is needed
in Honolulu. In one respect at least
Honolulu is thoroughly Americanized.

The good people of Greenwood coun-
ty are right in using every effort to
arrest and convict the scoundrels who
recently perpetrated the outrages upon
a few negroes of that county. The
whole State of South Carolina has to
suffer on account Of the acts of these
"whitecappers," who should be made to
suffer for their conduct.

Does the Lord allow man to sacrifice
his neighbor in subscribing to the
heather? There are lot of old whited
sepulchers up on the front seats going
to the devil as fast as they can, be-
cause, while they are loud-mouthed in
church, they are dishonest. They may
pray loud and often, but in the last
day they will learn that He never knew
them.

THISTLE FACTORY FIRE.
Burning of the Dye Works Building
at IIchester.

ElIicott City, Md, Feb. S.-A detached
building, 40 by 100 feet in size, belonging
to the Thistle Mills Company of Leicester,
was destroyed by fire yesterday morning,
together with a large quantity of raw cot
ton and valuable machinery. There were
in the building one hundred bales OF cot
ton. which were partially burned The in
terror of the building was almost wholly
occupied by the extensive dye works OF the
factory. small electric lamp hanging
over loose cotton is said to have bursted
and started the fire. 4 small boy, whose
duties called him to the spot. discovered
the blaze as soon as it started, but could
not extinguish it and barely escaped him
self.
But for the timely arrival on the scene
of the Ellicott City" sNs,aen the loss would
nave been much than ii was, tho
factory building proper being threatened
with destruction. The Catonsyille fire ap-
paratus. which got there half an hour af-
terward, also did effective service. The
factory water supply was temporarily dis
arranged by improvements going on i'll the
mill machinery.
The fire damage and loss is estimated
at $1,000 said to be covered by insurance
in the New England Mutual Company.
Both silk and cotton are manufactured at
the Thistle Mills, silk having been recent
ly added TO their product There will be
but slight interruption to the factory
operations.
The offices of the company are in Balti-
more. Samuel F. Patterson is president
and Robert F. Deal general manager.
About $50 persons are employed by the
company.
j. Malcolm, solicitor for Ellicott City.
has called the attention of the mayor and
city council to a recent decision of the
Maryland court of appeals to the effect
that of the 50 per cent tax rate on all
bonds and stocks of foreign corporations
held by residents of the town, one-half of
that rate should be levied for the uses of
the town. This provision, if carried out.
will yield a considerable additional reve-
nue. for Ellicott City. The decision arose
over a controversy between Frederick City
and Frederick county and applies, as Mr..
Dorsey showed TO all towns that have
power TO levy taxes on such property.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
OF MARYLAND
Report of the State Board of
Education.
Professor Prettyman Submits Some
Suggestions.
An Equitable Share in Public Lands
Wanted-How to Secure More
Money.

Annapolis, Md, Feb. S.-The annual re-
port of the State board of education, which
includes the report Of the secretary, Prof.
Z. b. Prettyman, has been transmitted to
Governor Lowndes. The report is a vo-
luminous document printed by King Bros,
Baltimore.
With the prospect apparently before US
of getting rid of State debt Mr.. Prettyman
suggests that the tax on that account be
then levied for schools. He says:
"It is evident that at the next session OF
the General Assembly in January. 1900.
the question must be settled, What shall
be done with the Ia cents heretofore
used to pay the State debt. but happily no
longer needed for that purpose? There can
be but two propositions: First, to abolish
the 5 IA cents tax; and secondly, to in
crease the State school tax by that amount.
This is live question. and now Is the time
for all interested in public schools 10 aid
in concentrating public opinion in favor
of the increase of the State school tax.
1t is a grand opportunity that should not
be neglected nor postponed.
THE next Congress is Opportune for the
presentation of the claim OF the State of
Maryland for its just and equitable share
of the proceeds Of the public lands of the
United States for the support of our State
public schools, and it will be presented by
the committee of the State board of edu-
cation, Governor Lowndes. chairman, and
as We are advised, will be urged by cur
Senators and Representatives"
The Anne Arundel school board took an
other vote yesterday, the twenty fifth in
order, without making any change in the
Office of examiner, which is held by Mr..
Eugene Wathen.
Blanche G. Butler was appointed as
sistant teacher in the first grade of the
Annapolis colored school.
The Anne Arundel county commissioners
awarded contract at $3.50 to the Maryland
Republican" for publishing and printing.

GEMS IN A SNOW BANK.
Policeman Dougherty's Rich Find OF
Jewels.

New York, Feb. S.-Roundsman Dough
erty recently detailed for theatre duty TO
the Thirtieth Street police station made a
find last night which together with the
snow and the cold made him think he had
suddenly been transported to the Klon-
dixie. He was on duty at the Metropolitan
Opera House at $50 O'Clock last evening
and had taken up his position at the Broad
way entrance of the building. AS he was
rejecting on the relative merits of patrol
and theatre duty, his eye fell on a bright
red object lying in the snow at some dis
tance from the curbstone. His first inn
preston was that some auctioneer's flag
had blown down.
Stepping up to the spot he stopped down
and picked out of a little snowdrift lady S
red plush bag, which on being opened,
proved to contain jewels to value which
would far exceed the roundsman's pay for
q year.
The bag, which bore no initials. or other
clew to its owners identity contained:
One handsome pair of gold and pearl
opera glasses, valued at $3.50; one-three
carat diamond ring, the value of which
no one who saw it placed below $500; one
marquse ring in the form of snake, stud
ded with two large emeralds, two-carat
diamond in the centre, with two other one
carat stones on each side of it and clus-
ter of fifteen small stones, value estimat-
| ed at $1,000; one marquise ring, with &
one carat stone in the centre, and a cluS-
| ter of eighteen small stones, value not es-
| timated; one lady's embroidered handker-
| chief two keys on ring and quill tooth
pick.
! The faithful roundsman plowed through
| the snow so rapidly that he was out o.
! breath when he arrived at the police sta.
| tion in West Thirtieth Street and turned
over his precious freight to Sergeant Da.
| ly He then breathed sigh of relief. Ser.
| geant DAILY congratulated the roundsmar
on his find. and got the jewels out of sigh
/ as soon as possible.
| LES Huguenots, under the auspices o
the Purim Association, was the opera Civ
en- at the Metropolitan last night. and i
was surmised that the gems were dropped
by some one who got out of carriage t.
| enter the building. No one has called TO
the plush bag and it's contents up to noon
