Is not as large decrease as had been
hoped FOR 10y the bulls.
Another fact calculated to make bulls
uneasy is that stocks are $1,000 bales In

Municipal Restaurants.


The city Of Nantes, in France, has
been recently experimenting in feed
ing the poor and destitute by means
of municipal: soup kitchens. At first
these charities were operated at q
heavy costto the city, which has now
been reduced to about 81, SEQ a year.
The kitchens are opened from the
18th Of October to the 18th Of April,
and two meals are served each day
the morning one from 10 80 a. N. to
Il 80 D. IN. and an evening meal from
5 to 7:3O p. m. Tickets emitting the
sholdersto one dish on the bill Of fare
are deposited for sale in the various
bakeries and tobacco shops Of the city,
where they are purchased for sgratult-
Gus distribution by the charitably dis
posed.
The privilege of taking meals in
these kitchens is not restricted to the
destitute classes. Many laborers take
their meals there on account of the
moderate prices. For example, q meal
costing FIVE cents can be obtained,
which will consist of plate Of meat,
sa-bowl Of soup and a small loaf of
bread.
It Is interesting to note in .connec-
ttiion with these kitchens that no wine
is served in any of them.-Rich chmond

Mr.. Carnegie and His Castle.

The public will regret to learn that
somebody is trying to make trouble
for Mr. andrew Carnegie. The great
steel king and founder Of Libraries
owns castle-Skibo castle as every
one knows, OF ought to know. Mr..
Carnegie bought the place In 1898 for
1925. 600, which wasn't much, but Mr..
Carnegie is democratic and doesn't
care a great deal for castles. he could
have bought higher priced article if
he had wished to do so. But now
comes Mr.. Evan Charles Sutherland
and sues in the Edinburgh court of
sessions to have the sale to Mr. Car
negie set aside. Mr. Sutherland says
he bought Skibo castle in 1872 and
paid $3.50, 600 forsit, and that he con
veyed it as security to two concerns
from which he borrowed money. 1t is
alleged that there we're Irregularities
and the plaintiff wants the sale set
aside.
We know nothing of the merits OF
this suit, but our sympathies are with
Mr.. Carnegie. We dislike to see his
leg pulled, except in the regular way,
the method which he has indicated as
most agreeable to himself. "A tlanta

THE TRUE i';E SOLUTION.

Representative Kitchen, Of North
Carolina, shaszi oduced joint reso-
luton providing for the repeal Of the
Fifteenth Amendment Of the Constitu-
Stion OF the United States.
Here is the simple solution OF the
negro problem in politics.
We believe that the great majority
of the white people OF the United
States are, at heart, in favor Of ME-.
Kitchens resolution, and if they had
the courage to vote as they think, a
dark cloud which hangs over this
country would be dissi pated and the
political atmosphere would be much
clearer. We believe that the very
best thing that could happen to the
black man would be the repeal. Of the
Fifteenth Amendments. An honest,
:straig ghttforward suffrage law would
then be enacted inseach Of the South
.ern States and the black man would
be admitted to the suffrage as he
showed himself to be qualified to vote
intelligibly.
But the Northern people haven't the
courage to right thesWrong that they
have done: Richmond Times:

New oil Competition.

Russia, which competes with the
United States for the export petroleum
trade Of the world, prod in 1900 IS
per cent. of all the petroleum offered
for sale insthe markets Of the world
namely, 3665 million gallons, out OF a
total production Of one billion gallons.
But Russia in the same year produced
three and a third billion gallons Of
naptha, while the production OF the
United States was only two and one
tenth billion gallons.
The weakness shown by Russia IN
supplying the worlds petroleum mark
ct was due to the fact that the Rus
sian freight rates to the seaboard were
too, high and the means Of transporta-
tion insufficient. The reason usually
given in Russia in explanation Of why
producers give more attention to the
manufacture of naptha products than
to the refining Of oil is correct only be-
cause Of the obstacles to transporta-
tion just menti ioned. .....;q1.;
Atspresent the@means for conveying
the oil from the shores Of the Caspian
Sea, where it is produced, to the
Black Sea, where it is opened to the
markets Of the world, is By the Bakn-
Batum Railway. This line is 55s
miles long and has a donble track for
only two short stretches. It is ecapa-
BILE Of transporting with its present
equipment only about 400, 600. 600 gal
Ions per annum, but the amount is
rarely over 800, coo, 600 gallons, owing
to the frequency Of railway accidents.
The Russian Government is seeking
to facilitate the transportation ct oil
by the construction Of a pipe line,
which will parallel the railroad. There
have been about 23O miles of this line
constructed so far, and an imperia
order has been issued for the construc-
tion of the rest. This will give an an
nual output of 625, 900; 600 gallons per
annum. The cost for transmission for
each pood five gallons) of petroleum
through the pipe line will cost the
State six-tenths of cent, the net cost
by rail being two cents
These statistics, which are taken
from the advance sheets Of the con-
sular reports, make it clear that the
Russian petroleum industry will soon
be enabled to compete with the Amerl-
can in the markets Of the world, If
other conditions remain favorable, for
the Trans Caucasian petroleum pipe
line will force Russia into the worlds
markets as a seller This will place,
in Germany's hands powerful
weapon in the negotiating of new COM
mecial treaties with Russia.-Courler

Columbia, Dec. 99.-The effect Of the
attorney generals opinion in the mat
sterSof the return Of liquors seized by
the constables has been to at once
throw upon the chief executive the
consideration and sdisposi tion Of many
application that were pending before
the State board.
The governor tackled the job yester-
day and disposed of1a,number Of cases.
One interesting case was from Able
vile county Two. negroes were car
;ried before Magistrate Ashley and the
wagon they we're driving was con
if6scated. One negro was fined and the
other vas discharged. The magistrate
asked what to do with the mule and
wagon. IT seems that the team be-
longed to, a white man who had abso-
lIutely no knowledge Of the liquor mat
ter. The governor ordered the team re-
turned to It's owner.
Some men put team belonging to
Probate Judge Ira B. Jones Of Ian
caster county to the same use in the
same manner. and the constable took
the team. The governor promptly or

A unique case. is up from Sumter

return of liquors undoubtedly bought
for personal nse were granted, and
some dozen or more for the return Of
liquors evidently bought for Illicit pur-
poses were refused. 1.-The State.
