: 'MERE-NENTION.

SMiss Alice Roosevelt is very anxious
to attend the coronation Of King Ed
ward VII, and if her father permits her
to do so she will probably be treated
as princess. &. The empress dewa-
ger Of China has issued an edict pro-
viding for the sending abroad Of young
men between the ages Of Is and 25 to
learn foreign customs, and she Is also
arranging to encourage the discourage
ment of the custom Of binding the feet
Of female children. About two mil
lion dollars worth Of property was de-
stroyed by fire in Waterbury, Conn.,.
last Sunday. Nearly 200 Japanese
soldiers were frozen to death on the
north end Of Honda island a few days
ago.. The Tampa strike Is again re-
ported as settled:.. :. William G. Whit
ney, who Is now go years Of age, has
announced it as his intention to retire
from active business and to devote his
time to pleasure. ......A severe blizzard
has been raging throughout the north
and northwest during the past few
days. From the utterances Of the
Mexican press, 1t appears that the Lat
in-American nations are building up
among themselves sentiments prejudic-
ial to the United States. ......A Mar
ion, N. c., special of Sunday, to the
Charlotte Observer says Fred Dula, on
Saturday night shot \and killed Mr..
Shuler, Of Lenoir. EShuler was a
lawyer. ..'..Admiral and Mrs. Schley
were entertained in Nashville on Sat-
urday, Sunday and Monday.

- WITHIN THE TOWN.

There was some business in mule
flesh last Monday; but not a great deal
q Barlow & Wilson's MINISTRIES are to
be at the opera house this (Tuesday)
evening.
There was a large, well-behaved
crowd in town last Monday, salesday
for February.
The county board Of commissioners
will hold it's regular monthly meeting In
the office Of the supervisor today.
" Rock Hills principal objection to
rrfe establishment of dispensary, was
on account Of Winthrop college. In
the Kings Mountain Military academy,
Yorkville has one of the best schools
for boys to be found in South Carolina.
Our people would show very little ap-
probation Of this deserving institution
If they should set up a dispensary be-
side 1t.
There are those who claim that q
majority Of the qualified voters in the
town of Yorkville are in favor Of the
establishment of dispensary. A care
full poll of the town will show few
changes of opinion on the subject since
the last election. There have been q
number Of new additions to the citi-
zenship Of the town since the last elec-
ton. Some are probably in favor Of i
dispensary and others are probably
against 1t; but as to whether a major
ity Of the qualified voters are in favor
Of the proposition is doubtful-very
doubtful. However. the anti-dispensa-
ry people cannot afford to let the mat
ter go by default. If they would make
sure of 'upholding their principles they
must be up and doing.
THE, 'dispensary petition referred to
in divers other places in this issue OF
THE ENQUIRER, was circulated by Po-
liceman A. Rose. From this fact, q
number Of people have gathered the
idea that the paper has official sane
tion, and is to be taken as confession
from the town council to the people
that they are unable to deal with the
whisky situation, and that they are
asking for the establishment Of dis
pensary. Mayor Willis said yesterday
that this impression is contrary to the
facts. policeman Rose" he said,
"came to me to know whether I had
any objection to his carrying the petit
ton around. I told him positively that
did object; that whatever may be the
individual views Of the members Of the
council on this subject, I did not con-
slider myself warranted in authorizing
any action that could be construed into
official interference. The action Of Mr..
Rose, therefore, contrary to my ex-
pressed wishes, Is on his own respon-
sibility."

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
More Important Proceedings Of the
House and Senate.


COLUMBIA, February 3.-The third
week of the general assembly has end
ed the half Of the session Is gone, and
more than an average amount of work
has been accomplished.
The bill relating to the matter of most
immediate and practical Importance
has passed both houses, and as soon as
several minor amendments are agreed
upon will be ready for ratification and
enrolment as an act. This Is the jury
law" presented for the purpose of rem
edying the recent confusion caused by
the decision that owing to diScrepan-
cies and differences in the acts regard
ing drawing Of juors for the various
counties. The bill now about to BE-
come law is general, applying un3orm
system to al counties, and as 1t goes
into effect at once it will enable the
courts to proceed with the business
which has been accommodating for sew
eral months, in some counties amount
ing to good deal.
Another measure of great technical
Importance is the ratification of the
code, embracing the whole statute law
Of the commonwealth. The codif1ca-
ton of the statutes for this period
was begun by Commissioner Breazeale
and completed by his successor, Com
missioner Townsend, and the house jul
dietary committee reported a bill rat
flying the report of the latter. There
were some technical objections on the
ground that the constitutions provfs-
ions required the Breazeale codes adop-
ton; but 1t was held that the Town
send code is merely an amended form
of the other, and after considerable de-
bate the committees bill was accepted.
1t is Of much Importance, but very
brief. as follows:
Section 1. That the code as submit
ted by the code commissioner Of South
Carolina, "a copy Of which Is hereto
fore attached) be, and the same is here
by declared to be the "Code of Laws of
South Carolina, 1902" and said code
is hereby declared to be the only gen.
eral statutory law of the state on the
14th day Of January. 1902.
OF all the matters presented to the
Legislature, three might be named as
having attracted the greatest public at
tention and discussion, viz: "Redistrict-
ing. child labor and the soldiers home.
None of these has been finally disposed
of.
A re-districting bill mas passed the
house. as previously reported but 1t has
not yet been considered in the senate.
and even if the "McGowan bill' passes
the upper house, it is sure to be liber-
ally amended in that body. The strong

Three C's and Southern.

The interview will Senator Brice,
published in another column. puts the
proposition. for the consolidation Of the
South Carolina and Georgia Extension
road with the Southern in light that
ought to be, perfectly clear to any in
dividual who is disposed to look at the
question from a common sense stand
point.
While we sympathize with the peo-
pie Of Rock Hill and Blacksburg in
their fears lest the passage, Of the Hy-
drick bill will deprive them Of the bene-
fits Of competition that they think they
now have, we are unable to see where
these fears have any substantial foun-
dation in fact. Rates Of all kinds, es-
pecially in the state, are fixed by law
and agreement between the railroads,
and about the only substantial effect
of competition these days is to make
the railroad people be a little more po-
lite and accommodating than would be
the case If they had a monopoly.
So far as the town of Yorkville Is
concerned, the situation cannot be
changed for the worse. Even IL it
were not fact that the South Carolina
and Georgia Extension railroad is
controlled by the Southern, the town
would Still. be left with two dis
tinct railroads after the consolida-
ton. On the contrary, If the South
ern proposes to improve the South Car
olina and Georgia Extension property
in the event of the passage Of the pend
ing bill, the town will necessarily be
benefited by the change.
And what is true Of Yorkville Is es-
pecially true of every other town along
the line of the South Carolina and
Georgia Extension that is without other
railroad facilities. Where now these
towns have to pay local rates on all
traffic, whether originating on this road
or not, after the open consolidation they
will be entitled to through rates from
all points on the Southern railroad.
This is a benefit for which they can
never hope under existing conditions.
OF course, it is a common and popular
thing to oppose any and everything
that might be desired by a big railroad
corporation like the Southern on gene
raj principles. There is no doubt Of the
fact that the railroads need constant
watching, and for the best interest Of
the public they cannot be watched too
closely. But at the same time it should
not be forgotten that blind opposition
often proves expensive and sometimes
even puts us in the position of cutting
off our noses to spite our faces.

DISPENsARY PETITION.

There is a petition in circulation for
an election on the question Of establish
ing a dispensary in Yorkville. The
matter has been under favorable dis
cussion by the dispensary advocates
since the proposition sustained its last
defeat at the polls; but 1t has only
been within the past few days that a
petition has been put in actual circula-
ton.
Under the law, the only condition
precedent to the holding Of an election,
is a petition containing the names of
one-fourth Of the qualified voters OF
the municipality asking for such an
election. The reporter has not seen the
petition referred to; but has been ad-
vised that it contains number Of sig
natures, and that the claim Is being
made that the number is sufficient to
warrant the calling Of an election.
That an election will eventually be
held there Is little reason to doubt
There is no question. Of the fact that as
many as one-fourth Of the qualified vo-
ters of Yorkville are anxious for the es-
tablishment of a dispensary. In view
of the fact, however, that the town
registration books are to be opened to-
day, and there will be no means Of Of
ficially determining the number Of quail
flied voters in lne town until after they
are closed, it is hardly probable that
the election will take place until after
three months from this date. .

possible for the blind tiger to be. 1t Is
even more sure. 1t is true that it Is
impossible to pronibit the illegal sale
of whisky; but no reasonable man will
try to hold that this traffic has not
been and is not restricted, and If 1t Is
admitted that there is any evil In the
sale and consumption of whisky, then
the less Of it sold and consumed the
better for all concerned.
1t is a fact that much Of our whisky
money is going to North Carolina, and
that the town is getting no revenue. 1t
is also a fact that If dispensary were
established larger per centage of our
whisky money would go to Ken
lucky, Ohio, Illinois, etc. In neither
case is anything left mere except the
net profit in money ard the debauchery
in moral character. Neither system
adds one cent to the wealth Of the town
or community. Both systems detract
from the producing capacity Of our
people to a far greater extent than they
could hope to be recouped by alleged
revenues.
We deny that the town is drying up
in a business way for want Of a dis
pensary or that the establishment Of a
dispensary would add one cent to the
business prosperity of the community.
If it should prove to be fact that the
dispensary would draw really valuable
trade that does not now come from
the vicinity Of Rock Hill, Fort Mill, Clo-
yer, Hickory Grove and Sharon, there
would be nothing to prevent the estab-
lishment of dispensaries in those towns
to Offset the advantage.
After all has been said, the most
plausible argument in favor of dis
pensary, is that which refers to the rev.
enue that would be realized; but look
ing at the matter from all standpoints
Of reason and common sense 1t Is not
difficult to see that this revenue can be
supplied much more economically and
with much less hardship by direct tax
alton.

week, the guest Of DR.. and Mrs. 8. A.
Weber. Mr.. Gilbert and family left for
Charleston on Monday evening.
Mr.. James Duncan, whose illness at
the residence of Mr.. M. L. Murray was

Mr.. r. L. Williamson, formerly of the
Bethesda section, now Of Port Tampa,
Fla, is back at his old home for short
time, having just returned from visit
to Havana. He was in Yorkville Mon
day as the guest Of his friend, Sherin
Logan, and while here paid The EN-
oU1RER a short visit. Though he had
never been to Havana before, Mr.. Will
hanson was not exactly stranger In
the Cuban city. He found there many
American friends and acquaintances
with whom he had become more or less
intimate IN flOTlQd QuEluS Ills 10 yeas
residence in that state. Speaking OF
Havana, he said that the city was much
cleaner than. he expected to find 1t.
This is one Of the benefits Of American
occupation. AS the result Of converse
tions with his friends, Mr.. Williamson
satisfied himself that the substantial
element of the population, especially
the Spaniards, who own most Of the
property and control most Of the busi-
ness, are in favor Of annexation with
the United States. They do not believe
that the Cuban people are capable OF
self-government, and they are very ap-
prehensive Of what may take place
when the United States troops are
withdrawn. Among the Cubans, the
common element, which Mr.. William.
son considers inferior to our Negroes
there is burning desire for an inde-
pendent government, and the OUTLOOK
for Cuba is anything but bright.

that the tax levies shall not be increas-
