Three councilmen We're elected, those
on the peoples ticket being chosen over
the independent ticket candidates. This
latter ticket was not strung until Sat-
urday night. and not beiEg filed in time

write in the names of the candidates.
This resulted in many mistakes being
made, causing considerable number

of the causes given for the independent
ticket being defeated. David Boyd. w.

en-. The independent ticket candidates

 Little Elephants in Horsehide.
 And just here I want to speak about the Belgian horses used about the wharves. They are little elephants in horsehides. and they will haul bigger loads than even the horses of Liverpool or Havre. l have never seen anything like them. Two of them pull a load of eight or ten tons with ease. and single horses drag five tons. The wagons used about the docks weigh about ton and a. half each, and when you load one of them with sixty bags of sulphur or several hundred bags of wheat you have load which an American team could nos budge, but which these Belgian draft horses pull along like so many feathers.
 Each wagon has tongue, and when one horse is used 1t Is hitched up on one side of the tongue instead of changing to shafts. I have, seen single horses pulling three or four tons and the wagon. or, altogether about five tons, over these Belgian block pavements. This Is done without trouble. and you will concede it Is a big load for one horse. The best horses of this kind weigh about. S,OOO pounds and each is expected to pull from

 A Millionaire City of the Middle
 Ages.
 Antwerp has now 100000 people. It Is rapidly growing. and it reaching the position 1t had during the middle ages as the richest commercial city of Flu rope. It had then not half as many peo- pie as now. but its trade was the wonder of the world Five hundred wagons daily came into the city. bringing In and car rying out goods. Five hundred ships sailed up the Scheldt every day, and It Is said that twenty-five hundred vessels were often at anchor there at one time

Hope was discovered and the cites of the Atlantic began to boom. Lisbon was one of the most thriving of them, anp the Portugese ships called there and then came on to Antwerp. Indeed, Antwerp had then almost as much trade as Lon- don, England annually buying about B. 900, 900 worth of Antwerp goods. At that time money WAS worth ten times what if is now, and in comparison the trade was greater. Antwerp bought spices and sugar of the Portugese to the amount of almost S4.OO0, GOO a year, and its silk and gold wares from Italy were worth twice as much.
 There were then 1000 foreign commer- cial firms doing business in Antwerp, and among them were the F'uggers of Augs- burg. who were the Pierpont Morgans Of the sixteenth century. The Fuggers were famous as bankers and business men and for their wealth, one of them dying at Antwerp and leaving a fortune of $o,O0O,- 900, an enormous sum for that time.
 The Spaniards Ruined It.
 shcn was the condition of Antwerp when the Spaniards tried to rule the Netherlands. They ruined the country as they have ruined everything they have nut their hands on. In less than a gen. eration the population fell off more than 50 per cent. and the business and people steadily dwindIed until in 1790 the city had only 40,0GO souls.
 Later on Napoleon BonaParte saw the fitness of Antwerp for great commer- cial port. He built docks at a cost of something like $10,000000, and was fast making the city the commercial capital of Northern Europe. when it got another black eye through the revolutions which his death. A generation or so later, Belgium having separated from Holland, Antwerp again began-to to grow,

many. We ship them most of the staples we send to other countries, and also great deal of crushed corn, corn oil and notions. The agents of the Swift Pack ing Company ttell me that they sell cam ed meats of all kinds, and also bones and hogs hair. The bones are shipped to Germany and Russia for buttons, tooth brush handles and other such things, and the hair Is used to stuff fur niture. Belgium buys u great deal of beef ham, which is much like our dried beef, and IS sent over in barrels. Ameri- can canned meats are seldom used except for picnic and excursion lunches, but our lard and pork hams are part of the regular Belgian diet. Much of the goods which comes to Antwerp are trans shipped to other countries. 1t goes into the Government warehouses, and then passes on to its destination without pay ing tariff duties,
 Ghent and it's American Cotton.
 A vast deal of American cotton comes to Antwerp for the spinning mills of Ghent and other factories. Ghent Is the Manchester of Belgium. 1t IS situated on the Scheldt on the way to Ostend, a short distance from Antwerp. and an hour and a half by rail from brussels.
 Ghent has 100000 inhabitants and 1t is upward of six miles in circumference. a large part of 1t being taken up in bleach ing grounds Several small rivers flow through the city and there are bridges everywhere. There is a wide canal which connects 1t with the Scheldt and another which connects 1t with the Lei River Many of the buildings are old and with It's canals the town Is exceedingly pie turesque.

 Where American Goods are Handled.
 1 wish 1 could show you the docks which these BeIgians have built for hand ling our imports. They are among the finest of Europe. The ones which Ma poIeon constructed are still In use They are two in number. one holding about 2JO ships and the other perhaps half that number.
 1t took me several hours to drive about the new docks. l went by miles of iron warehouses and sheds filled with all sorts of goods. At times l was in a thicket of masts and at others l could hardly see through the network of rig ging. The docks and canals were flied with boats and barges wedged in among the great steamers, and cars were nov ing this way and that carrying the goods out and in. 1 could not get the exact area of the docks but l am sure there are more than 1000 acres.

 American Lumber,
 went from the Red Star docks to the lumber yards. They cover acres and con- tain enormous piles of American pine and other woods. Ships were loading and un- loading at the docks and 1t seemed to me that the glass-roofed warehouses held enough of our lumber to floor the half of Belgium. The boards are brought chiefly from the Southern States and shipped by rafl and canals to other parts of the country. Much of the lumber used in Antwerp Is carried about on these big wagons. I watched some men load ing one of them. Each had leather pad on his shoulder upon which he car ried at least half dozen boards at one time, handling the lumber more rapidly than is done in America.
 Queer American Imports.
 I have made some inquiries concerning our imports to Belgium, but find 1t difi- cult to learn just what they are. Much of them come through England and Ger

Four lines of railway tracks run outside these sheds. and next to the river arc long lines of hydraulic cranes which lift the goods from the ships to the cars. On the average 2.500 cars leave the city evory day Both cranes and cars are worked by a subterranean aoueduct operated by engines.
 Above the warehouse sheds are long promenades paved with asphalt, so wide that two two-horBe wagon loads of hay could be driven side by side upon them. These promenades look out over the river and the green fields on the opposite side, they form the fsvorite walk of the Ant werpers Sundays and evenings. At such times barsheaded woman and girls and capped and hated men and boys may be seen here strolling along or leaning over the railings enjoying the cool breezes of the Scheldt Some of the boys wear wooden clogE, and even the little ones of the better classes have their legs bare from the tops Of their shoes to the knees.

CRIMINAL GIVES MASONIC SIGN
But Judge Purdy Calls Him Down
and Sternly Rebukes Him.

The Aiken correspondent of the
News and Courier in a report Of the
recent term Of Court in that county
has the following account of an inter-
esting incident that occurred:
When Benjamin Buford, the white
man found guilty of manslaughter in
killing the negro, Larry Blackmore,
was presented before Judge Purdy for
sentence, he was asked by his honor
if he had anything to say why sentence
of the: Court should not be passed upon
him. Buford replied: 's Nothing, your
Honor and held up the lapel of his
coat, on which was pinned the emblem
of the Masonic Fraternity. He had
previously given a sign, which Judge
Purdy, being Mason, did not fail 80
recognize. The mans object was evi-
dent and Judge Purdy sternly said !:
That badge can do you no good here.
Yoa are not fit to wear it. Throw it
away. You have violated ali that is
good and noble that that emblem rep
resents, and you are no brother of
mine. The sentence of the Court is
that you shall serve twelve years in
the State Penitentiary at hard labor.
You can thank your counse. for saving
your neck. -

The Panama affair is not a revolu-
tion, but conspiracy, and it lis so
apparent from the trend Of affairs that
the conspiracy was hatched in Wash
ington or at Oyster Bay that no denial
would convince the Americans to the
contrary. The whole affair has been
conducted with a system that could
have proceeded alone from a we'll
ordered plan, and as the success of the
undertaking depended entirely upon
the cooperation of the United States
Government it is clear that the con-
spirators in Panama we're assured OF
this cooperation before they launched
the SO called revolution, and had be-
fore them the hope of sharing in the
graft that will be an important feasure
of the Panama canal project.

The Charleston Spirit.

Ih0 D1Sp6uSafy COnSG6DI6S VINO were
arrested under Federal process on
Saturday and who spent Saturday
night and Sunday in the Charleston
County Jail were released from custody
yesterday on giving bond in the sum
of 5000 each for appearance for trial
in the United States Court. Three
other Dispensary constables included
in this proceeding will give bond for
their appearance, and the hunt of the
elusive tiger will go on with redoubled
energy.
The authorities are determined that
the law-the Dispensary law-shall
be enforced. 1t is reported that Gov
ernor Heyward is very indignant at
the arrest of the constables in the
Wieters case, and that it is his duty
to enforce the law, in which enforce
ment Charleston must be treated like
any other part of the State" The
Governor is right, Charleston ought to
be treated like any other part of the
State. "The only way to endeavor
to enforce the law in Charleston, the
Governor has said, "is to order the
Chief to raid suspected places; for the
iuries refuse to find true bills.
There mast be some mistake about
that. After a certain outrageous ex-
perience in Charleston some months
ago, when the private home Of gentle
woman was raided, surely the Govern
or could not trust the Chief to make
the sort of raids suggested. 1t is
doubtless true that the juries IN
Charleston generally refuse to find
true bills'' in Dispenasry cases. Very
few such bills have been found and
very few such convictions have been
secured on such bills; but upon whom
does this responsibility rest-the Gov
ernor at Columbia, the whiskey ring.
| the dispensary constable or the mem
bers of the grand juries? When jurles
''refuse to find true bills'' in other
cases and when petit juries refuse to
find verdicts of guilty III such cases as
the grand juries present for trial,
| what would be thought if "Chief,
or Sheriff, or constable, OF other Off
Ger should be ordered to raid suspected
places and riot with the penalties OF
the law! Has it come to this that
sehe Chief of company of whiskey
ccnstables is bigger than grand jury?

mere certainly administered, in some
cases at least, if the Governor had
authority to order the Chief to expose
the Irregularities in Dispensary busi-
ness, or to order the Sheriff to put to
death persons tried for life when the
juries refuse to convict, but it would
be dangerous authority to confer upon
any officer whatever his political i'm.
portance or family respecSability.
We are sure that the violations ot
the sacred Dispensary law, wicked
though they be and deserving the Sc
yerest punishment. are not by any
means the most dangerous crimes com
mitted against the State. The indict
ment, trial, conviction and execution
of one white man for committing
murder would bs of greater conse
quence to the peace, good order ant
prosperity of the State than the In
dictment, trial, conviction and pun
ishment OF ninety and nine person

beer or blind tiger whiskey in Dispen
sary packages against the provision
