THE DIsPENsARY COMMENDED.

The topics of the message sent by the
Governor of South Carolina to the Legis-
lature yesterday which will attract the
most attention. were the states financial
condition, the public school system, child
labor in the mills and the dispensary.
The finances seem to be in healthy
condition. The treasury has a fair sur
plus on hand. and the rate of taxation
does not seem to be excessive in compari-
son with that in adjacent states. The
public school system is not entirely salts
factory. There are no intermediate
schools between those teaching the com
| monest branches and the colleges. Besides,
the country schools are not in session as
many months in the year as the people
would like. The Governor suggests that
the counties will have to do something
for the schools by means of a local school
tax Some of the counties thus supple
ment the aid received from the state. and
1t would be advisable for all OF them TO
adopt this policy.
The Governor is against prohibiting
children between the ages of and 10
from working in the mills. but thinks that
it should be provided that children be-
| tween these ages should be required to
attend school during the months the
! schools are IN session instead of being
employed in the mills. lie commends the
efforts being made by some of the mills
TO help the children-the mills that have
provided libraries and employed teachers.
The dispensary system has the Cover

year become more popular with the best
element of the state. The opposition to

the course of a few years more the cost
OF carrying out the dispensary law will
be small in comparison with what Il was

thinks that the dispensary system tends

It furnishes a pretty large revenue to the

If you want to learn all about New
York and Chicago get away from those
places and establish a perspective, says
the New York Press. A man from Gin
ton, 5. c., tells this story about the
Rockefelers and McCormicks: The
ThornwelI Orphan Asylum at Clinton, a
splendid institution, is maintained by the
McCormicks, and one of that name mar
ried Edith Rockefeller When Mccormick
asked John D. for her hand. the Standard
OIL magnate said in rage: You are
like all the rest of them; you want to
marry my daughter because of her for
tune. You all are money hunters. You
know she has a million in her own right
and you'd like to have it. l refuse to give
my consent" Mccormick, made of good
stuff, replied: Il want Edith; l don't
care a rap about her money or yours.
I've got enough to support her in the style
she is accustomed to, and as soon as
marry her l shall return to you the mil
hon you gave her She shan't have a cent
of your money" Rockefeller liked the
young mans spirit, You may have her
on condition that you do return the mil
lion" he said. We all remember the we'd
ding, but the most interesting feature was
kept secret for some time. One of the
presents was a bundle of securities worth
$4,000 900 from the brides father.

Judge Evans told an amusing story
about political "grafters" to a party of
friends who were discussing ward heel
ers" and their methods a few days ago,
says the Columbus (O) Dispatch. The
judge ran for the Common Pleas Judge
ship once without opposition. That was
when the Democratic nomination was
equivalent to election. One day a man
came 10 him from the til ward and
told him tale of how things were going
bad for him in that ward. The man was
a stranger to the judge.
What is the matter up there?" he
asked.

why. the Republican who is up

The judge saw that the fellow was try
ing TO talk him out Of some money, and
probably did not live in the ward at all
probably not in the city.
What have they got against me?'' he
asked.
"Oh, nothing. Judge; they are just go
ing for the other fellow. and they've got

A GOOD AMENDMENT.

The Senate did a popular thing when
it struck out of the army bill that pro-
vision which provided for veterinary
corps. The provision. it Is safe to say. did
not have the approval of army officers.
There Is need of course for horse doctors
in the army. but there is no good reason
why they should not be employed Just
as they have been heretofore. No doubt
the provision got into the bill through
the efforts of those who are anxious to
elevate the profession of the veterinary
surgeon.
If the provision should be put back in
the bill and the bill should be passed with
il in 1t, we should have new lot of Off
GERS appointed from civil life, many of
been in the army for years. That would
doubtless be a source Of trouble Secretary
Root objected to the provision, but he
placed his objection on the ground that as
drawn, a new bureau in the War De-
partment would be required. 1t is prob
able thaf his real objection was to ere
ating a veterinary corps.
1t is a safe assumption that 1t would
cost a great deal less to hire veterinary
surgeons as they are needed than to pro-
vide for large number of permanent
ones, giving some of them high rank
Under the system proposed it would not
be long before there would be a large
number OF men in the army who would
have practically nothing to do except in
time of war, and it is doubtful If their
services would be of very great value
then. 1t has been pointed out that in
South Africa the veterinary surgeons
connected with the British army have not
been of much service They have not
been able to check disease among the
horses.
1t may he that the idea Of having a
veterinary corps in our army was Dor
rowed from the British. They have a
corps OF that kind. 1t is fine thing in
theory. but it does not seem to have
amounted to much in practice. Now that
the provision that provided for such a
corps is out of the bill it is to be hoped
it will be permitted to remain out.
