Governor McSweeney has declined
to accept the designations of Senators
Tillman and McLaurin and have re-
turned them to these gentlemen with
some wholesome advise, which it
would be we'll fer them to treasure
up as lesson for their guidance in
their future action whenever they
think of resigning again.
In declining to accept the resigna-
tions of these belligerent statesmen
he has risen to the requirements OF
the occasion and has acted in q very
commendable AID patriotic manner.
He has saved the State from bitter
campaign that gave every promise of
being disgusting in the extreme, ard
he richly deserves the thanks of the
inte!lies ut and peace loving lem, Mt
of the State, in doing as he has
Senator Tlllman contt nds that the
Governor had no authority to dec'ire
to sccept the designations and up to
this writing has not withdrawn his
letter of resienati' n.
Senator McLaurir, in his letter to
the Governor Withdrawing his resig-
nation, says that, "ior the sake OF the
peace, property and happiness cf
the people of this State, I am willing
to hold on to my commission as
Uuited States Senator" and thu
ends the episode for this year at least.

The crop OF Senatorial candidates
are growing with startling rapidity.
II something is not soon done to
check th7 gro tn thore will be but
few voters left to weed the crop.
Among those who have heretofore
announced their candidacy the fol-
lowing have started their little sena-
torial boomlet: M. L. Donaldson, J.
a. Mooney, former solicitor Aasel,
Ex-Governor Evans, G. G. Feather
stone and host Of others too unmer-
Gus to mention. There are two things
about the South Carolina statesmen
that make them different from those
of other States. One is they are not
backward about making their wants
known and the other is they are all
in the hands of their friends.

also likely to stimulate the shipments
Of merchandise to this country; hence
the natural tendency of our foreign
trade would be towards smaller exports
and larger imports, or a gradual reduc-
ton of the abnormal trade balance
which has been such a feature of our
prosperity during the last three or four
years. Much, however, depends upon the
foreign demand for grain and cotton.
General business continues in good
condition and merchants generally an
ticipate a season equalling last year in
volume. It is noticea BILE however, that
very few expect to exceed last year,
and there is a wholesome feeling ofcon-
ServatiSIn in mercantile circles. Rail
road prosperity seems to go on without
interruption Gross earnings show
steady gains in spite of the large in
creases of the three and four previous
years. This is chiefly the result of bet
ter rates and shows the value of har-
mony to owners of railroad securities.
As a matter of fact many of the roads
are carrying a smaller tonnage than
last year, but they are earning a fair
profit as result of reasonable and sta
bic rates.
We might have had a September
boom had it not been for the adverse
effect of the strike and the corn dam
age. These destroyed all bullish outside
sentiment and left the market entirely
dependent upon inside support, which
it has had in unmistakable fashion.
There is some talk that the big men
intend to put the market higher. With
STOCKS SO CLOSELY nGiQ LueU cOnlIOA
it would be foolish to deny their abil-
ity to do so. But natural conditions
are hardly in favor of higher prices at
this time In addition to the reasons
cited above the money market is likely
to be a serious obstacle to any bull
campaign. The reserve went down last
Saturday to SIS, 900, 600, compared with
$23 600, 900 a year ago, and is likely to be
entirely exhausted before the return
movement begins in Novem ber. West
ern banks have considerable deposits
in the reserve centers, which they will
soon draw upon for crop purposes. This
weeks statement Will probably show a
further decline in reserves. Bankers
seem perfectly confident of their ability
to take care of ordinary crop and busi-
ness requirements; but any active spec
ulatiOn in stocks would rapidly produce
a stringency that would automatically
impede a bull market. All discussion
of gold imports and bond purchases just
now is problema tical. These resources
might be available and they might not.
High prices would use up the available
supply of funds more RAPIDLY than low
prices. Taking all the facts into con-
sideration, natural conditions are not
just now in favor of higher prices.
Forced manipulation may raise the
market to a. higher level;but under such
conditions operations should be con-
Quoted with unusual care. and We
should advise selling on the rallies.

pointed.
Chief Stahl spoke for twenty minutes
on the subject of Temperance" to a
responsive audience that packed every
inch OF seating capacity in the house.
After reviewing his work in prosecuting
the jointists he said that in the future
he expected to pay more attention to
the slot machines. drug stores and
social clubs of the city. Speaking Of the
clubs without specifying, he said: Il
don't really think they are doing the
harm that the joints are. but If you'n
just wait I think you viii hear from
them before you're a great deal older"
He referred to the drug stores with
out mincing many words. ''The joints

place for them. Many times I 60 to the
