mated, and to eliminate which Is not
desirable. But it Is also a fact that
with many good families in South Car
olina the higher education Of their
children, especially daughters, is most
serious matter from the standpoint of
neighborhood Of equal, dress goes long
way these days toward fixing social
popularity. 1t ought not to be so; but
people who are able to pay most atten-
for the time being in the average esti-
nation, than do people Of more mode
rate means Girls who are compelled
to dress plainly from reasons of econ
omy are often at a disadvantage in the
presence of other girls otherwise their
interiors, who may be able to dress
themselves more richly. This fact can
easily count for much in the making Of
character and disposition. When all
are compelled to dress alike, regardless
of means, it is difficult to see how char
acter or disposition can suffer on this
account. Real worth becomes the rul-
ing element in the determination of
comparative standing, and to the dis
interested observer this Is the only
standard that can possibly be worth
consideration. 1t is no hardship on the
girls who are able to afford fine dresses
to require them to deny themselves the
pleasure during their college days, and
1t might fairly and properly be said
that they really owe it to their poorer
sisters to do so. If then there has been
any departure from this very desirable
feature of Winthrop the more quickly
the lines are drawn back to original
plans, the better for the institution and
the better for all concerned.

CHARLES Francis Adams. of Boston,
thinks that ultimately the cause for
which the south fought, will be admit
ted as right. In a speech delivered at
Chicago last Tuesday, he said:
"I look forward with confidence tU
the time when the bronze effigy of Rob-
ert E. Lee, mounted on his charger and
with it's insignia of it's Confederate
rank, will from it's pedestal in the ma
tion's capital, look across the Potomac
at his old home at Arlington. When
that time comes Lees monument Will
typify the historical appreciation of all
that goes to make up the loftiest type
of character, military and civic, excm-
plified in an opponent once dreaded
but ever respected. Above all 1t Will
symbolic the loyal acceptance of the
consequences Of defeat and the patient
upbuilding Of the people under new
conditions by constitutional means
which I hold to be the greatest educa-
tional lesson America has yet taught to
a once sceptical, but now silenced
world"

G.. L. NV. Hard Hit.

Lincolnton dispatch Of June 16 to the
Charlotte Observer: Recent heavy rains
have badly damaged the Carolina and
North Western railroads new roadbed.
This company has been using every
effort to run trains over the new part
of the line by July 1st, which is the
contract limit, and thought it would
finish laying the track this week, but
yesterdays heavy rains ploughed deep
burroughs through the fills all along the
line and some large ones in the newly
made fills in town. Some Of the trestles
are also swept away. This will be a
heavy loss to the company, both on
account Of the additional work to repair
these places, and by the delay 1t will
cause in getting the road completed
within the contract limits. The cotton
mills which it will touch have agreed
to pay a considerable sum to induce
the Carolina and Northwestern to
build this road down the river, which
was to be completed by July 1St, and
this is why it was very important that
it be completed by that time.

DISPENSARY SALES.

Dispenser Snider has called the at
tention of the reporter to the fact that
the statement Of dispensary sales, as
published in the last issue of THE EN-
ou1RER, was badly mixed up. Investi-
CATION develops that the mistake was
Mr.. Snider's. Intending to call off the
figures recording the daily sales. he
gave, instead, the invoice prices on
daily sales. The mistake went through
the record of the first week. The bal
ance of the figures were correct. In
order to keep the record straight. and
for purposes of comparison hereafter,

statement of gross sales. which Mr.. Sni-

for this assumption Of the costs OF
Gomez's living expenses the conditions
in Cuba might have paralleled those in
the Philippines. and the United States
government, after fighting Spain to Sc
cure freedom for the Cubans. would be
obliged to turn upon them the force OF
her armies. The necessity being pres
ent then, in Secretary Roots views,
the only other point was the legality
and propriety of the payments. He
soon satisfied himself that there was
not the slightest doubt on that score.
The military government was obliged
to assume the responsibility for his dis
bursements and to exercise his discre-
ton. Gen Brooke did this and after
him Gen. Wood, and Secretary Root
now fully approves of everything they
did, including the payments to Gomez

THE statute providing a fine of $lOO
in case Of neglect to make return for
taxation Of capital or property en-
ployed, within thirty days of establish
ment, after January l, is one that may
be enforced or not according to the in
clination of the county board Of COM
missioners. The commissioners do not
have to enforce the statute. 1t is every
body's business, and what is every
body's business is usually nobody's
business. In this case it is provided
that the commissioners may" enforce
the law, and whether the law Is en-
forced depends upon the kind of COM
missioners a county may have. 1t
would seem that York county has the
right kind; otherwise no action would
be taken. Of course, from one stand
point a law of this kind looks like a
hardship. and possibly it is; but we are
free to say that we do not see it in that
light. There is nothing to hinder the
proprietors Of a new business, estab-
lished after January l of any year,
from making a return within the 80
days required by law, and although the
payment of taxes would not necessarily
follow it would be we'll If there was
some more certain way Of getting at
such people. The law against timer
ants is not enforced nearly so strictly
as it ought to be, and while the work
OF the county board of commissioners
along this line is. to say the least, un-
pleasant. it will no doubt receive the
endorsement of all the established bus
mess interests that have given consid-
Grafton to such matters.

AS SEEN BY EDITOR HULL.

Editor Hull, Of the Rock Hill Her.
aid, who has for several years been
an outspoken advocate of the dispensa-
ry system, came over to Yorkville last
Saturday, and after such investigation
of the local institution as he was able
to make during the day, published the
result Of his observations in his paper
of Wednesday, ts fciAiowE In SO
The political measure that Is at pres
ent exciting much interest is the dis
pensary, especially the booze shop at
Yorkville. There is a very wide differ
ence of opinion as to whether 1t Is q
good thing to have In the town or not,
the antis declaring that conditions
there are worse than ever, particularly
so on Saturdays, while the dispensary
advocates declare that If anything the
change is for the better. The blind
tigers, 1t Is claimed, no longer find the
business profitable since the dispen-
sary has become competitor by SELL
ing the tiger" grade Of liquor at a
price more than a hundred per cent.
under the tiger figures. For example,
any thirsty lover Of the ardent can
purchase from the dispensary at the
rate Of 10 cents a half pint any guam
tity OF such corn whisky as the tlSers
sell. This whiskey was captured from
the tigers, and being sent to Columbia,
was bottled and Is now sold from the
dispensaries at prices intended to run
the tigers out Of business.
lG We had read much about the increase
OF drunkenness since the establishment
of the dispensary in Yorkville, )but 1t
was not observed last Saturday~An we
did not leave town until a half hour
after the doors of the booze shop had
been closed. We saw only two men
who were in the least affected-in fact
one can see on the streets Of Rock Hill
any Saturday afternoon, more boozy
men than we saw or heard Of In that
condition the day we spent In York
Xille.
7 Those who are opposed to the dis
pensary and with whom we talked.
claimed that there were not as many
people in Yorkville as on other Satur-
days, and that the conduct Of the
crowd was better than formerly. How
ever this may be, the whisky that was
sold last Saturday would compare In
amount with the sales on other Satur-
days, 1as the following exhibit will

there was a gross profit Of $36O.92.
