DURING the last session of the general
assembly, there came up the question
of allowing the various counties, unoer
certain conditions, to vote on the mat
ter of abolishing the sale of liquor with
in their borders. The bill passed the
house one afternoon; but it's opponents
cot a reconsideration next day ana
voted the proposition down. The prln-
cipal argument was that Columbia ana
Charleston would vote out the dlspen-
saries and have free liquor. 1t was
claimed also that the dispensary ques-
ton is settled, and that it should not
be opened up again. But these were
not the real reasons why the bill was
killed. 1t is more probable that 1t was
because those who are most interested
in the maintainance of the dlspensary
for political and personal reasons, dare
not submit the matter to the people Oh
the county surrounding the towns in
which they are located. 1t is very well
understood that while the state as a
whole may endorse the dispensary plan
as the best solution of the liquor ques-
ton, there are many counties in whlcn
the people want nothing of the kind
about them. AS matter of fact, the
argument with reference to Columbia
and Charleston is no good. Both Oh
these towns would rather have open
saloons than dispensaries, and neither
is willing to substitute the by-the-bot-
tie for the by-the-drink plan. They
know that they can violate the law
safely only under the shadow of the
dispensaries, for otherwise the author
tiles would be more vigilant, and for
that reason they would never run the
dispensaries out. And neither is the
dispensary issue settled. No moral
question is ever settled until it is set
tied right, and there are many COM
munities in South Carolina in which
the moral level is high above the liquor
business. We believe that to be the
case with York county, and we believe
that if the people of York county, as Il
whole, ever have the opportunity to
vote on the question of permitting the

the total output of the country. The
local union officials declare their ac-
tion has the support not only of the
National Federation of Labor, but the
active cooperation of the other flour
mill employees of the country. They
claim, therefore, that If strike
shall be declared here the action will
be followed elsewhere by a sympathet-
ic movement. Six hundred members
of the union this evening voted on the
proposal to strike. 1t was decided by a
Is per cent. vote to select committee
to submit an ultimatum to the mill
owners on Tuesday. This ultimatum is
to include an invitation for an answer
by Thursday, the understanding being
that if an eight-hour day shall not be
granted, the strike is to go into effect
week from tomorrow. If the strike
shall be declared the demands will en-
brace a stipulation that none but un-
ion men shall be employed in the mills.
The flour leaders and packers and
nailers' unions expressed sympathy
with the demand. If the strike is de-
clared 5000 men will walk out.

WILL DICTATE PRICES Virginia
Carolina Chemical company, according
to The Evening Sun tonight. contem-
plates largely increasing it's facilities
and placing itself in a position to die
tate prices of cotton seed and cotton
seed oil. The Sun says:
The sale of $7,OOO,OOO of bonds by the
Virginia. Carolina Chemical company to
Hallgarten G. Co., and Blair & Co., has
put the company in possession of ample
funds to enlarge its business and ma
terially increase it's resources in every
way. This step has been contemplated
since the company purchased it's potash
plant in Germany last summer, which
has served to strengthen the company
immeasurably. The bonds will reim-
burse the company for the outlay in
volved in this purchase and also for
number of other purchases made dur
ing the last year in the way of cotton
mills and mining plants. 1t Will also
give the company all available means
necessary to continue the manufacture
of fertilizer and cotton seed on a large
scale. An enlarged trade in fertilizer
is expected by the management during
the current year.
The cotton seed oil business, on the
contrary, will, it is believed, be less
brisk The rise in price of cotton seed
promises, however, not only to curtail
the sale of oil, but also to make the
manufacture of oil losing business to
new outside mills as they will be COM
PEELED to buy seed at the highest prices
and sell oil at the low price because
the facilities of the Virginia Carolina
Chemical company will enable it to die
tate prices for both.-New York special

IT is not likely that Secretary Hays
recent identical note to the powers that
signed the treaty of Berlin, in behalf
of the oppressed Jews Of Roumania,
will amount to anything. The treaty
of Berlin pledged Roumania to fair
treatment of the Jews, and the powers
that signed the treaty obligated them
selves to see that Roumania carried out
her agreement. But as a matter OF
fact, Roumania has never given much
attention to the treaty. The Rouman-
ians have no love for the Jews. The
trouble, of course, is the same that has
existed from the time of Abraham.
Given half a chance, and the Jew will
accumulate wealth and power far above
that of the average Individual of any
other nationality. It was this charac-
teristic that brought them under the
ban with the Roumanians. Laws
were made to discriminate against the
Jews, and the effect Of those laws has
been to reduce the majority of the
Jewish inhabitants Of Roumania to
poverty. 1t can hardly be said that
Secretary Hays note was dictated by
sentiment. To escape unfair treatment
in Roumania the Jews are emigrating
to the United States in large numbers.
A majority of these emigrants are paul
pers. In one important particulaS-the
United States is like all other coun-
tries. The people here think a great
deal more Of people with money than
of people who have no money. There
is no objection to the immigration OF
all Jews Of the world who bring dollars
along; but our state department wants
no pauper Jews, or paupers of any oth-
er nationality. But still the persist
ence of the Roumanian Jews In their
desire to come to America is trouble
some, and the secretary hoped that II
he could secure fair treatment for them
at home, they would be disposed to re-
main there. This is why he wrote his
identical note. But that note Is not
likely to count for great deal. BE-
cause Of her influential Jewish citizens,
Great Britain is disposed to talk nice
ly about the matter; but the other
European governments are about as in
tolerant toward the Jews as are the
Roumanians. They will not, therefore,
interfere in the matter, and it is pretty
certain that neither the United States
nor Great Britain, will go further than
to express their sympathies with these
oppressed people.

Why was it not built years ago? There

business of five cotton mills, and al

Wide Extension and Increased Cost

Postmaster General Payne will ask
congress at the coming session to ap-
propriate $12,0OO,0OO for rural free de-

For the fiscal year 1901, the sum Of

purpose. For the fiscal year 1902, these
figures were more than doubled. The
postal officials have available for the

cover the expenses Of the service, as
from present indications there will be
a deficit of about $sOO,000.
On July 1, 1903, $4,000 rural routes

take 100000 to maintain the service

some. The fact that there is revolu-

they are stronger. Among their strong
holds was Ciudad Bolivar, on the Orin-
oco river. News has just been received
in this country to the effect. that on

it was, many were killed. The resident
United States consul demanded an
apology for the outrage, and the Vene-
zuelan government duly made the apol-

foolery of saluting the American flag;
but of course, the government at Wash

that kind of thing. The Venezuelans
will have to be looked after, and it will
