ing greater freedom TO Chinese in the

for the Treasury department to secure

appear that all Chinese within the Ter

MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE
GOVERNOR.

Citizens of this Territory have the
right to talk of and plan for new Gov
ernor to their hearts content. Just at
the present time, however, the bust
ness of the Territory is ~ such con-
dition as TO make the personality Of the
Governor a matter of least Importance.
Whatever President Mckinley may
do in the future It is certain he will
not make any change in the Governor
ship until Congress is in session.
Should the Office be vacated by death or
resignation, the Secretary would doubt
less act as Governor till Congress as
sembed.
Meanwhile the Territorial treasury
Is struggling along on makeshift ba-
sis, pubic work is at a standstill. This
will continue until the Legislature can
he called together to provide funds.
The ever present demand Is money
tc properly carry on the public bust
ness OF the country. new Governor
cannot create funds and the people of
the Territory are merely wasting time
in useless endeavor by dwelling upon
the chief executive problem. Legisla-
tive leaders as well as their supporters
should devote their time and energy to
reaching an understanding whereby it
will be possible to assemble the Legis-
lature IN special session for the pur-
pose of providing bonds for public
work and an additional income through
license or land taxes. 1t requires no
crest amount of education to convince
the most humble citizen that the pres
ent state of affairs is unnecessary and
utterly devoid of any good results.
No more serious reflection can be
offered against the citizenship OF the
Territory, than the record made by
demonstrated inability OF factions or
parties TO reach a mutual agreement
whereby the present situation in Telsi-
torial finance can be relieved. The
Executive and the legislative leaders
should get together on a non-partsan.
business basis, Put the Territory first
and for once let personal ambitions,
factional strife and legislative fads
give way.

THE LION AND THE BEAR.

The friction between Russia and
England, with a possibility Of hostili-
ties in the near future, unless an ar
rangement is agreed to, has created a
great deal of apprehension throughout
the world during the past ten days or
two weeks.
The present trouble is not under
stood to be the result of a new quarrel;
but rather of a manifestation of the
same old jealousy, rivalry and suspic-
ion that has existed between the two
countries all the while.
THE friction now up grows out Of a
dispute as to the right to a side track
at Tien Tsin. The merits Of the ques-
tion are not clear. Russia claims the
side track and so does Great Britain.
Great Britain had possession and for
a time resisted Russia's advances.
Russia, however, persisted, and it is
understood that at this time both ma
tions are standing guard over the bone
of contention, while the diplomats are
trying to settle the quarrel.
AS to the extent to which the United
States may be involved in this dispute
or it's developments, it is not safe to
say. All along this country has been
pursuing a policy of non-interference
except for the protection Of American
interests. The recent order under
which General Chaffee must leave for
the Philippines, is probably based to
some extent upon a desire to avoid
being mixed up in complications.
From the general tone Of the dis
patches from London, it appears that
there is really not much danger Of
war. Great Britain seems to realize
that she is in no position to cope with
Russia and she is disposed to back
down. Russia, Of course, will con-
tinue her policy of aggression until she
carries her point or knows the reason

Spartanburg special Of March 10 to
Atlanta Daily News: In an order in
the court of common pleas yesterday
Judge James Z. Klough, circuit judge,
practically granted divorce. AS is
weilknown this state has no divorce
law OF any kind. The only possible
way Of dissolving marital bonds is to
set Il judge Of the higher courts to set
aside the agreement of marriage on
the grounds of noncompliance. Chas.
peurman, a young white man, appear
ed In court today asking that an al
legged marriage between himself and
Ida Padgett, made in 1892, be annulled,
reciting that he was married to the
woman when he was so intoxicated as
not to be able to make a valid con-
tract; that he had not recognized her
as his wife, and had not lived with
her. The woman was not present; but
through her attorneys agreed to the
petition, confirming the statements.
She says Dearman was drunk ut the
time of the ceremony; but she thought
he would ratify 1t when sober. Both
parties have been married to other
PARTIES since the alleged marriage in
lS1. l'rnrnan WAS once prosecuted
tor hisnuy. Judge Klough said that
under the circumstances he would de-
clare the contract invalid because the
petitioner was Incapable of making
and because the contract was
not ratified by compliance.

June Is the imports at Che Foo ceased,
all commercial transactions being nil.
The effect of the Boxer movement Is
shown to have been felt much earlier
and more seriously at Tien-Tsin than
at Chez Foo. Ships loaded with Ore
gon lumber reached Taku and were
unable to land their cargoes, thus en-
failing an enormous loss upon the
American lumber trade. At Mn
Chwang, which saw less fighting than
Tien-Tsin, the trade was almost COM
pletely wiped out. The only foreign
power that lnterfered there, it is stat
ed, was Russia, that government seiz-
ing the port as early as August 4. On
August IL it had control Of the custom
house. The total collection Of duties
for all China during the quarter ended
September 80 last, showed loss of
2,459, 9,591 hiakwan taels, as compared
with the same period of 1899. The fig
ures submitted, Consul Fowler points
out, do not fully show American losses,
for immense quantities of merchandise
were held up in various ports, and
which must be worked off before i'm
portations can begin. The losses to the
cotton trade alone are estimated at
over $3,000,000.

FUNERAL OF MR.. ASHE.

The funeral of Mr. John r. Ashe, an
account Of whose tragic death appear
ed in the last issue Of THE ENQUIRER,
took place on Wednesday afternoon at
2 o'clock.
1t was first intended to have the fun
eral in the morning; but Messrs. JEFF
ferys and John, the two sons who were
at the Citadel, having failed to make
connection at Chester, did not arrive in
time and the exercises were postponed
until the afternoon.
The church was crowded with peo-
pie, including most Of the representa-
tive population of the town, personal
friends of the deceased and Of his fam
lily, and a large number Of factory op-
eratives. Rev. w. G. Neville conduct
ed the exercises. After prayer, he
talked briefly, stating that 1t was not
his province to eulogize the dead or to
inquire into Gods mysteries; but rath-
er to afford comfort and consolation
to those upon whom the sad blow had
fallen with especial force.
The remains were followed to the
grave by nearly all Of the members Of
the large congregation, and the obse-
quies throughout were unusually sad
and impressive. There was also a no
ticeable absence Of unnecessary osten-
tation. =.

| x The fire alarm was sounded last
Saturday night on account Of blaze
in the upper story Of the old Wheeler
coach factory. Those who first arrived
on the scene found pile Of burning
trash, which they quickly threw out.
The flames were thus extinguished. 1t
was suggested that the fire may have
been caused by parties who went into
the building to gamble.
N<The building occupied by the Drake
ford Newspaper company was the oc-
casion of fire alarm, Thursday, short
ly after noon. The firemen responded
promptly, and reached the spot before
the flames had time to make headway.
The fire originated from defective
terra Gotta stove flue, over the kitchen,
and was communicated to the shingles.
The bremen were as careful as possi
BILE; but were unable to avoid a GER
tain amount Of water damage. The
flames, however, were extinguished
with but trifling loss. .''.'
The residence of Mr.. w: O. Rawls,
superintendent Of the waterworks, had
a narrow escape from destruction by
fire last Monday. Fire broke out in the
ceiling overhead, through a defective
flue, and had made considerable head
way. Mrs. Rawls was alone. AL
though the big pump and the reservoir
from which the public water supply
comes is located within so. feet,
there was no provision for such con-
tingency. After some quick thinking,
Mrs. Rawls finally succeeded in at
taching a piece Of hose to the pipe
through which the steam boiler is fed.
and thus got a stream with which to
put out the fire. Adequate fire protec-
ton will now be provided without fur
ther delay.

ALTHOUGH this section is still young
in the cotton manufacturing industry
it seems that experience has already
been sufficient to make it realize fully
the inevitable fluctuations to which the
business is subject. The past ten
years have witnessed periods of inf1a-
ton and depression. The imitation Of
a year ago seemed to be out of all rea-
son; but it was hardly more marked
or abnormal than the present depres-
sion. 1t is a tendency of human ma
ture to rush to extremes. AS times
improve. individuals, in their imagina-
ton and action, are inclined to rush on
ahead and go too far. 1t is the same
as times appear bluer. The DISPOSE
ton is to eXaggerate the situation un-
til it appears bluer than it really is
People need to be more conservative.
Although cotton mill stocks will not
sell for as much today as they would
three months ago, they are hardly less
valuable-especially where there has
been proper management. 1t would be
well then, If people would hold them
selves more stiffly to the rack, and
guard against the development of pam
icky impulses. Cotton manufacturing
is just as important as it ever was and
in the nature of things it cannot be q
