doubtedly furnish strong campaign
argument in his favor, should he run
for governor His failure. or, perhaps
refusal. to kiss the brides at few
marriage ceremonies which he per-
formed in his official capacity, has set
tongues waggng and caused a great
deal of superfiuous and even ridicu-
lous comment. Well that kissing bust
ness. is. after all, merely a matter of
taste and inclination. One man may
attach no value to privilege for which
aGother might be willing to pay good
round sum The Interpretation that
Mayor Mcclellan declined the kissing
out of con era ton for the feelings
of his young Wife is undoubtedly of
feminine origin. The women. especially
the married women approve of the
mayors imputed discretion and give
nm credit for it and the men-weH.
they are perfectly willing to give him
the benefit of the doubt.
But there is another point, which is
of greater import and infinitely more
apt TO win the eternal gratitude of the
women of New York for His Honor 1t
is his positive stand in opposition to
the use of the word obey" in the mar
rage service. He positively refused to
place that injunction upon the brides
whom he married and also objected to
the formula with all my worldly goods
| thee endow." He thinks both are OBJ
solete, not BETTING the spirit of our
times and by no means binding in law.

INTERSTATE COMMISSION BILL
WOULD MAKE CARS SAFER
Law to Compel Railroad Companies to Build
Stronger Coaches With Non
Telescope Device

II is asserted that the immunity from
death and injury which passengers i'm
sleeping cars enjoy is due largely to
steel underframe construction. and it is
understood that the construction of the
presented day sleeping car will be taken
as a standard. In this event all day
coaches, smoking cars, buffet cars,
chair and parlor cars Will have to be
built with extension steel beams and
possibly be provided with steel plat
forms and nontelescopable device.
In view of the unusual number of
lives sacrificed In railway wrecks the
last year the urgent need of some such
legislation Is appreciated. At the same
time the bill will undoubtedly give the
railroads reasonable length of time
with which to comply with the provi-
sions of the measure. This time will be
sufficient to permit of all old equip
ment wearing out but it will also pro-
vide that all cars to be constructed
after the passage of the measure shall
be of the required standard. 1t is the
purpose to place the enforcement of the
measure in the hands of the interstate
as is the case with the en-
forcement of the automatic coupler and
other measures requiring the use of
safety devices.

into the monotony of legislative liN
There have been so many doctors try
ing to cure the suffering school system
that it's condition has become very
near hopeless. Every session laws have
been passed, changing the system and
introducing new features, until it re-
quired the keenness of corporation
lawyer to find a way through the laby-
rinth of laws and regulations govern
ing the school system of the state. 1t
may easily be imagined that some of
the measures were not framed with
sufficient care to fit into the general
scheme of the system and that con-
fiicts of authority necessarily arose
from time to time. Such a conflict has
existed for some years betweent he two
supreme powers. the board of regents
and the department of superintendence
To abolish that conflict and, inciden-
republicans, a bill has been introduced
In the legislature, which seeks to unity
the system by making both boards sub
ordinate to a commissioner of educa-
ton, whose authority would be practi-
cally supreme, OF course the demo-
Gratis and the board of regents are
making desperate efforts to defeat the
proposed legislation and its adoption
is, to say the least. extremely doubtful.
To give their opposition greater power
and more unselfish appearance the
democrats favor a non-p partisan COM
mission of three.

The Parsifal season at the Metropoli-
tan opera house has been eminently
successful from an artistic as well as
from a financial point of view. 1t is
whispered on the Rialto that the net
result of the Partial season has been
over 100000. Be that as it may, there
is no doubt that the season was profita-
able. The character of the performances
was such that there is every reason to
believe. the charges of sacrilege and
lack of piety have been forever silenced
one of the interesting incidents of the
season was the birth of a child in one
of the waiting rooms shortly after the
first act of the last performance. The
mother of the child, which, if a boy,
should be named ParsifaL was in the
audience and just managed to reach
the waiting room in time.
Through the recent death of Miss
Elizabeth Vanderbilt the Vanderbilt
family tree has lost another interesting
twig. Miss Vanderbilt, who at the
time of her death was 81 years old, was
the daughter of Oliver Vanderbilt, the
founder of the first ferry line between
Staten Island and New York. The late
Commodore Vanderbilt was her uncle.
The deceased was a highly educated
woman and for over fifty years had
lived in complete seclusion.

In view of the everlasting complaints
concerning the inefficiency of the

New York and Brooklyn, the suggestion
OF Martin w. Littleton, president of
Brooklyn Borough. to build a circular
railway connecting the Brooklyn and
the Williamsburg bridges by big loops
i'm Brooklyn and New York is attract
Ing considerable attention. According
TO Mr.. Littletons idea the road shall
be an elevated road, with four stations
I'm Manhattan and six i'm Brooklyn and
shall be built. owned and controlled by
the city of New York The originator
of the plan and with him many sup
porters of the suggestion are of the
opinion that the construction of such
a circular road would put an end TO
the terrible crush at both ends of
Brooklyn bridge and materially i'm
prove the transportation service.

THE OTHER SIDE.
A "Dispensary Advocate" Replies to
tie Article Of XXX.

Editor County Record
Some one evidently possessing more
of the sentimental thought of the
times than material AMI logical
split tha lives after the oth>r is
dead, graced an article in the
Florence Times, which was produced
in The COUNTY RECORD of March
I 3, with elaborate, uncredited quota
tion from the Demorest Medal Con-
test recitaticns and backed the
thought expressed therein by re-
mirding the reader Gas if it Were
never known before) that there were
two sides to every question and that
some argument from the dispensary
advocates should be forthcoming.
The di-pensary element, with the
strength of three-fourths of the vo-
ters of the town proper aud nine
tenths of the people of Scranton dis
trict, have no desire to enter into a
further controversy of the merits of
the dispensary's operation here and
will not dignity with further notice
any statement emanating from the
opposition after this, outside of the
courts, to which tribunal the ques-
ton is now referred to be settled
once for all. But passing by the
plagiaristic contents of tx X KS"
letter, the facts remain that there is
u law IN South Carolina by which
alcoholic liquors may be sold legally;
thai this law has been complied with
IN every detail in connection with
It's operation here. and that the shoe
is pinching the toe of the opposition
because all efforts to destroy the
will and power of the majority have
been and are proving futile, and this
is better shown in the wailings of an
unsklllful minority who have neither
the power of common justice nor the
support of truth to defend posi-
ton as unwisely taken as was the
Journey of Napoleon to Moscow.

Graded School, Venters, S. c.,
where quite an interesting and
instructive programme rendered
by the students in honor of
Washington's birthday. Fol
lowing is the entire programme:
Introductory, by Miss Bessie
Higgins.
Washington's Birthday, by
Miss Eva Venters.
Song, America.
The Birthday of Washington,
by Ettrick Higgins.
Washington, by five little girls.

ton, by Miss Belle Harden.
Crowning the Patriot, by Miss
Eunice Higgins.
Song, Red White and Blue.
The Nurse of Liberty, by Ola
Spring.
Tributes to Washington, by
nine boys.
Memory Of Washington, by
Miss Hattie Newell.
Tea Party in Washington's
Time, by six girls.
Boston Tea Party, illustrated
by six boys
While the programme was
carried out without a single
prompting, deserving much
praise, perhaps the most inter
esting feature was the six boys
dressed as Indians, with feathers
and paint in true aboriginal
style, representing the "Boston
Tea Party" They rushed on the
stage with a yell, such as only
a hearty school boy can give,
which sounded so genuine that
it made us almost imagine few
'Choctaws" were upon US.
After the exercises Rev W NJ
Harden came forward making a
short, pointed talk, and closed
by reading few appropriate
selections from some of our IL
lustrious poets on the character
of Washington.
Then followed Hon H E Eaddy
("The Sage of Possum Fork")
who with his ready wit and
sound logic, kept the audience
charmed.
Prof S H Brown, the principal
closed by making a short, ap-
propriate talk on the growth
and progress of the school, i'm
pressing upon the patrons the
necessity of cooperation in Or
der to secure the future pros
perity of the school. 1t was
the right word in the right
place, and we trust the patrons
will be benefited and encour-
aged. Prof. Brown is an able
instructor, and by his quiet, un-
assuming manner has wonNhis
way to the hearts OF the people
of the community.
All persons present expressed
themselves as being highly
pleased, and the exercises re-
fected great credit upon Prof.
Brown, Miss Cora Higgins, his
assistant, and the students.
The school as a whole made a
fine appearance, and seemed to
be under perfect control. We
venture to say there is no better
and larger school anywhere in
the country, no better teachers,
and no better work than is done
here.
Mr. William Cooper, county
superintendent of education,
paid a visit to the school a few
days ago, which was very much
appreciated. His talk to the

MERCHANTS ACT QUICKLY
TO SAVE ARMY POST SITE
A Certified Check for $1,000 De
posted to Guarantee Govern
ment from Loss.
REFUSAL OF ROBERTS

Owing to the stand taken by the Mer-
chants Association in regard TO the army
post site, ii is understood that the con-
test is practically at an emf Mr.. Roberts
yesterday, in an interview with II. p. Was
son, w. c. Bobbs and Fred Ayres. repre-
senting the Merchants Association, refused
to arbitrate the matter. The association
began a campaign at once to secure sub
scriptions TO guarantee the amount in
question, and in a very short time had sue
ceeded. A certified check for $500 is now
III the hands of the proper authorities
awaiting the next step.
The government will now be asked to in
stitute condemnation proceedings. If the
government adopts this plan, Captain
Cheatham will be instructed to pay out the
money for the farms at once. 1t is also
believed that Congress will make the mil
lion dollar appropriation without any fur
Their delay and that the erection of the
buildings will be begun at once.
a. A. Young wired Representative Over
street just as soon as he had heard of the
action of the Merchants Association and
Informed him of the plan to have the
government begin condemnation proceed
ings. 1t is believed that the War De-
partment will concur in the plan of the To-
cal authorities and will begin proceedings
at once. If the government accepts the
plan suggested j. j. NJ La Toilette will pc
tition the United States Court to have APP
praiSers appointed and the land question
appraised. If the appraisers fix the value
at more than Mr.. Roberts's original OPP
ton, the difference will then be paid out of
the fund raised by the Merchants Associa-
ton. Should the value fixed by the ap-
praisers be less than the original option,
then it is believed that Mr.. Roberts will
contest the appraisement and the case will
necessarily go to the Federal Court In
this case, however, no time will be lost
since the case in court in way would in
terfere with the action of the authorities.
The Merchants Association has secured the
services of the law firm of ELAN, Miller,
Fesler 81 Miller to assist Mr. La Toilette in
fighting the case in the Federal Court.
A. A. Young. collector of customs in
speaking of the work of the Merchants As
ISOLATION, said that it's members should be
given the hearty thanks of every citizen in
Indianapolis. TOO much cannot be said
in praise of the work the association has
done for the city, said Mr.. Young, lin
taking the loyal and determined stand it
did for the retention of the army post site
in Indiana polls. The association came to
the aid of the city at a time when il need
ed II most and at a time when it would
do il the most good. L enthusiastic
over their efforts and the results they have
accomplished and think they should re-
ceive the thanks of every citizen in In
