THE Cuban exhibit, which was tc
have gone from the Pan-American ex-
position to Charleston, is tied up al
Buffalo because of custom regulations
Of the treasury department, and 1t will
take a special act Of congress tc
smooth over the difficulty. Upor
learning of the situation, Colonel Ave
rill appealed to Senator McLaurin, as
has been customary in connection with
these matters. The senator went i'm
mediately to the treasury department
and secured a promise to the effect
that bill, looking to the desired end
would be ready for introduction during
the opening days of congress, and there
is reason to believe that the present
hitch will not become a source Of Sc
rious inconvenience. The same dis
patch that brings this information
says that the president will recon-.
mend in his message to congress that
the government pay the expense In
connection with transporting its ex-
hibit to and from Charleston and in
caring for it while there.

BY the Drink.

We see 1t stated In the papers tnd'
whisky and other intoxicants are to be
sold on the Charleston exposition
grounds by the drink, and that the
governor and state board Of control
are to hold themselves blind to this
violation of the law.
It is explained that the exposition
authorities have represented to the ad-
ministration the fact, unless visitors
can be assured Of easy access to a!co-
holic refreshments they will not come,
and that this temporary suspension OF
the dispensary law in regard to the
exposition grounds is necessary to en-
sure the largest gate receipts.
That there Is something in the repre-
sentations Of the exposition authori-
ties, we shall not attempt to dispute.
Whether morally right or wrong, it IS
fact that large per cent. Of the ex-
sition visitors will want their daily al
coholic refreshments, and unless as
sured of their ability to get the same
on the exposition grounds, will no:
venture away from a convenient source
Of supply. But that is not the princi-
pal point involved.
The constitution Of South Carolina
prescribes that intoxicating liquors
shall not be sold in this state except
in sealed packages between the hours
of sun-up and sun-down, and that
there shall be no drinking on the prem
ises where the said liquors are sold.
This provision Of the constitution is
we'll backed up by statutes prescribing
in detail what it means, and how it is
to be carried into effect.
The governor and the members Of the
state board of control are under espec-
ial oath to observe and enforce the
constitution and the laws of the state
on this subject. They stand as the
agents of the people Of South Carolina,
and so far are they from being allowed
the slightest discretion in varying the
letter Of the law, on account Of their
solemn oaths, they are more closely
dividuals.
The real question here involved is
not the subject Of prohibition. 1t is
not the question as to whether the sale
of whisky is morally right, or the
drinking Of whisky is morally right.
1t is not whether the state has more
right to sell liquor than has an individ-
ual citizen, and neither is it question
as to whether the financial interests Of
the exposition will prosper or suffer.
A still greater question than any of
these is whether or not the governor
and the members of the state board of
control are going to measure up to the
ordinary moral responsibility by which
they are confronted.
AS we see the situation, grave issues
are involved. Among other things the
precedent to he established involves
the question as to whether the COVER
nor is greater than the people or the
people greater than the governor. The

THERE is no objection to any Of the
delegates that Governor McSweeney
has appointed from this county to the
Good Roads convention, to be held In
Greenville during the week beginning
December 16. From one standpoint OF
another, all Of the appointments are
proper and appropriate. In fact, the
list is very representative as it stands
But it Is fair to remind the governor
that should he be called upon to make
out a similar list at another time, he
should include the name of DR.. r. A.
Bratton, Of Yorkville. When 1t comes
to intelligent, practical interest in road
building, DR.. Bratton stands in the
front rank Of Yorks citizenship. He
more than any other one man, is re-
sponsible for the fine work that was
done on the Charlotte road for five
miles out of Yorkville and he has given
his hearty cooperation in every simi-
lar undertaking since. The governor
would have made no mistake had he
named the doctor as a delegate from
the state at large.

Spartanburg special of Saturday to
the Atlanta Journal: There appears
to be an organized gang Of postoftlce
robbers in this section Of the state.
Safes have been dynamited and robbed
at Pacolet. Converse, Woftord, Fair
Forest and this city within the past
week. The safe in the postoffice in this
city was blown open Wednesday night
and about s40O in cash and stamps Sc
cured. The explosion of the dynamite
attracted the attention Of Marshal
Walker, who was near by, and upon
investigation he found three men In
the building, and a pitched battle with
pistols followed. The burglars finally
escaped. The postoffice was In the
store Of Williams Bros. whicn was
broken open several weeks ago.

been practically eradlcated In that city,
although. of course, 1t might still be
introduced by other means--bay oys-
tiers, for example, as well as bad
water. being an easy vehicle for the
disease.
The lesson which Lawrence has so
graphically Illustrated has not only
worked a revolution in the methods,
of water supply in Massachusetts, cities
and towns but is having its effect all
over the world. A notable instance is
the city of Albany. which by system
of filtration mas been enabled to obtain
a supply of pure water from the Hud-
son river, previously "A constant source
of disease. The gravity of the problem
in the case of large cities has resulted
in the expenditure of enormous sums
for the maintenance of wholesome
water supply either by direct purlfica-
ton or by the disposal of sewage so
as to, prevent contamination of the
source. The case of Chicago Is well
known, where $50, 600, 600 has been spent
on drainage canal, which, By carrying
the sewage into the Mississippi river,
has quite revolutionized the city's
water supply, At St. Louis, where the
question of an adequate water supply
is now being particularly considered
with reference to the great Louisiana
Purchase exposition, the river bears
the drainage of Chicago. St Paul, Min
neapolls and scores of other cities. and
yet Professor Sedgwick states without
hesitation that by means of filtration
ST. Louis can obtain its water supply
from the Mississippi with absolute
safety.
This general Importance of questions
of water publication and sewage dis
posal has gone So Ear as to result. at

Establishment of en interesting and some
what unusual course in sanitary science
designed for architects and civil en-
gineers. The instruction undertakes to
give students a right point of view in
regard to disease ana TO inform them as
to the latest problems in the purifca-
ton of sewage and water and the
whole subject of the promotion of the
public health. The equipment which
1t gives. however. valuable as 1t is for
engineers and architects is not to be
compared with the more detailed in
struction in the OCULAR meteorological
laboratories of the institute, where the
work which Is the test of all expert
ments In public sanitation IL done 1t
Is somewhat remarkable to what extent
'the sanitary engine oring of the coun-
try is in the hands of men trained in
this special department Of the Insti-
tute of Technology, nut it is still more
remarkable, ii may be noted. from the
point of view Of the department itself
at any rate, that any modern city
should fail to avail itself of the protec-
ton which sanitary fcience offers, and
that ignorance of the pollution of a
city's water supply should be allowed to
sacrifice its scores and hundreds of
lives.
