Exposition Activity.

Says Charleston dispatch of Sun
day: Exhibitors and concessionaries
are coming to Charleston in large num-
bers and during the past two days q
hundred carloads Of exhibits have ar
rived here for the exposition. Tonight
Mr.. S. c. Meade, president Of the New
York state commission, and four other
members and employees Of the COM
mission, reached Charleston by the
New York Elyde liner Comanche, and
tomorrow twelve members Of the ad-
visory board Of the architect in chief,
Mr.. Gilbert, will reach the city from
New York. The New York commission
has come to inspect the New York
state building, and Gilbert's board for
the purpose Of advising with the archi-
tect as to the last few finishing touch
es on the marvellous work he has done.
Architect Huston, Of the Philadelphia
building Is here also to receive the
building from the contractor. It is
ready for the Liberty bell, which it will
shelter during the exposition. More
than 1000 men are now employed on
the exposition grounds and the Midway
city is going up like magic. The hous-
Ing committee Of the woman's depart
ment has already secured more than
10000 dodgers for exposition visitors in
private families and boarding houses.
The usual rate for lodgings will be 81
day and for lodgings and breakfast
SLIPS. Nearly every mouse in Charles
ton will be converted for the exposition
period into a house of entertainment
and the sentiment Of the community Is
against every attempt to exact heavy
tolls Of the visitors. The railroads have
agreed upon low rates, 80 per cent.
lower than the rates made for Buffalo
and the city council will pass an ordi-

PRISONERS IN JAIL.

The following prisoners-15 In num-
ber-are in Jail awaiting trial at the
approaching term Of the court or gen
eral sessions on the charges mentioneo'
Reuben Stewart, murder; Will Jones'
assault and battery Of high and ag-
gravated nature; James Lindsay, muir
der; Sol Dorsey, murder; Rufus Lind
win, robbery from the person; VIII
Worth, housebreaking and larceny;
Monroe Lockhart, abduction; oscar
letter, violation of the dispensary law;
John Barber, grand larceny; Henry
Green Wylie, rocking railroad train;
Jim Bratton, forgery Will Walker,
housebreaking; James Knox, rocking
railroad train; William Thomas, as
sault and battery with intent to kill.
AS to whether or not any of the
above prisoners will be tried will prob
ably depend upon their own desires In
the matter Notwithstanding the ques-
ton as to the constitutionality Of the
iuries, the determination Of this isue,
IL it should be raised, will hardly be
disposed Of until after all who may de-
sire to be tried have been accommo-
dated.
The three murder cases mentioned
are all Of a serious nature. Reuben
Stewart is charged with having killed
a woman at the works Of the Catawba
Power company. The case against him
is an ugly one. Jim Lindsay killed
another Negro at Bethel. In his case
there Is an element Of self-defense; but
as to lust how much self-defense there
was will have to be determined by the
facts as developed. Sol Dorsey killed
another Negro at the works of the
Charlotte Brick company on CataWDa
river.

step Mr.. McLaurin was denounced all
over the state as Republican by peo-
pie who had little other politics than an
ambition for affice. Although in their
good judgment, the voters rewarded
Mr.. McLaurin before they began to see
the practical results Of the legislation
on which he had risked his political fu-
ture, they have since had the gratifi-
cation of noting a material increase In
the amount of rice produced In South
Carolina along with the investment OF
millions of northern money In the de-
velopment Of South Carolina lumber
interests. Of course, The News and
Courier thinks that these things "just
happened" and that Senator McLaur-
in had nothing to do with them. The
same objection would be open to 9TH
er things that we had in view when we
penned the paragraph that seems to
excite the curiosity Of our contempora-
ry, so as an easy one, we will point
to the story Of Senator McLaurin's
efforts to secure the government ex-
hibit for the Charleston exposition as

THE report Of the United States COM
missioner Of navigation, summary OF
which is published elsewhere, Is espe-
cially interesting as showing the pro-
gress and growth Of American ship
ping during the past few years. 1t
will be noted from this report, that
while our coasting trade shows rap
idly increasing tonnage, the ocean car
rying trade, under the American flag,
is making but little progress. Among
the reasons for this situation some are
quite obvious, especially the fact that
because of better wages to our work.
men, it costs more to build ships In
America, and because Of better wages
to our sailors, we are unable to COM
pete with foreigners in the ocean car
rying trade. The tremendous increase
in the tonnage engaged in our coast
ing trade Is due to the fact that for
eigners are not allowed to engage in
this business. AS to whether or not
foreigner competition would make
coast freight cheaper, we are unable to
say; but 1t is fact that although 1t
costs us more to build vessels, and we
pay our sailors a higher rate Of wages
than does any other nation Of the
world, our coasting freight rates per
ton per mile are far less than those
Of any other nation. This fact would
seem to suggest that IL the government
would only give the ocean carrying
vessels enough help to get fair start,
it would not be a great while before
the flag of the American merchantmen
would sweep the flags Of all other mer-
chantmen off the sea.

Columbia State, Saturday: At last
the big distillery Of the Richland Dis
tilling company, erected here on the
banks Of the Consaree river, Is run
ming at It's full capacity. Work on this
plant was commenced late last spring,
and 1t has been pushed along from the
very start. Messrs. Wilson, Block and
Farnum, VINO are the principal parties
interested, feel that they have a model
distillery. The plant in fact is said to
be one Of the most valuable and up-to-
date this side of the Ohio river. The
plant has been erected at a cost of
about 100000 or more and the machin-
cry and equipment Is modern in the
smallest details. The plant grinds 300
bushels Of corn day and the daily out
put is 5000 gallons Of corn liquor. The
tanks In the distillery each hold 1,500
gallons. The pay roll per week
amounts to over $1,000. The grade of
liquor manufactured is said by experts
to be as good as any that can be
bought anywhere, the mountains of
North Carolina not excepted. The sup
ply is furnished to the state dispen-
sary. Four government officials are at
present stationed at the distillery On
Monday an additional officer will go on
duty at the warehouse.

THE president has spread dismay
among the Republican organizations in
Fort Worth, Texas; Clarksdale, Miss. !;
Decatur and Union Springs, Ala, by
disregarding their recommendations as
to postmasterships. At Union Springs,
two Republican factions were fighting
for the appointment, and the assistant
postmaster, who was endorsed by
neither faction, got the place on his
record. At Decatur, Ala, the daughter
of the retiring postmaster got the ap-
pointment in spite of the recommends
tion of the Republican state committee
presented by another candidate. At
Clarksdale, Miss, w. G. Cole was ap-
pointed on the recommendation of the
Republican national committeeman,
and on the strength of protests to the
effect that he was a carpet bagger"
who had resided in the town less than
six months, he was turned down and
Anna Durham, who had held the office
during the Harrison administration,
was put in his place. George w. Bur-
roughs was made postmaster at Fort
Worth in spite of the machine, and
the good party people generally have
been thrown into stew.

IF it can be shown that Mr. Koester
will appoint George Washington Muir
ray to the position Of deputy collector
Of internal revenue purely as a matter
of choice over all other elligibles who
could be induced to take the office, then
the case against Mr.. Koester will be
pretty serious. If. on the other hand.
it can only be shown that Mr.. Koester
is to appoint Murray in compliance
with the conditions under which he got
his own appointment, then the case
will not be nearly so bad. In fact, any
other individual who would have taken
the position Mr.. Koester holds under
any conditions whatever, would have
probably taken it under the same con-
ditions that Mr.. Koester may have ac-
cepted. Furthermore, among the
newspapers writers who are criticising
the appointment of Murray, there are
right now at least half a dozen or more
who would be glad to take other jobs
under Mr.. Koester that are not quite
so good as Murray's. But such is the
way of the politician. 1t has ever been
thus and 1t will always be so.

WILL the Columbia State please ex-
plain it's reason for not printing its
regular weekly letter from "Mr. Doo-
ley" last Sunday. In view Of the
many nice things it has said about
Mr.. Dooley, editorially, the fact that
it should deprive its readers Of any of
his productions is rather surprising.
Many of its readers, too, were no doubt
disappointed. Had it not been for the
fact that the Augusta Chronicle and
other southern papers, printed the let
ter as usual, they would have thought
that their genial old friend had taken
day off," 1t was not Mr.. Dooley, but
The State that did the skipping. Why?
