OPPOSITION TO INSTITUTION
rs GENERAL.

The free lunch, that typical and
popular feature Of the American rum
shops, will receive much attention to-
morrow afternoon from the councils
committee on free lunch," which is
a. joint affair composed Of the COM
mittees on health and hospitals and
ordinances, and to which has been
referred an. ordinance prohibiting free
lunches. - 81 1sl -. Is,
The arguments against the free
lunch are many. The health officials
wish to. see it abolished for sanitary
reasons; the police would: like to see
it abolished as it enables the vicious
classes to- exc out an existence while
prospecting for a. favorable oppor-
tunity to commit crime; the moral
and Industrious class oppose it be-
cause it assists in breeding idleness,
vice and crime, and is favorable to
the development: Of loafers, tramps
and hoboes. Lastly, the liquor deal
ers Themselves are tired of the ex-
pense. For these reasons It is be-
lieved that the antifree lunch ordi-
nance will pass without any difficulty.

Carbolic Acid by Mistake-Georgc
L. Reek Takes Overdose Of Nor
phine and Fred p. Eckert Kills
Himself by Shooting.

A mistake in the use of two bottles
one Of which contained carbolic acid
and the other a harmless connection,
was responsible for the death Of Mrs.
Mary B. Nelson. wife of H. B. Nelson,
$40 e Fifteenth street, last night.
Mrs. Nelson was unable to explain
how she mixed the bottles, but there
is no reason to believe that the poison
was taken Intentionally. She was Is
years old and had been married only
three months.
Mrs. Nelson attended matinee yes
terday afternoon, and while away
from home purchased three ounces of
carbolic acid for disinfectant. Her
husband was in the kitchen at 6
o'clock when she ran screaming into

poison and asked him for some
melted lard. He summoned a -physi-
clan and every effort was made to
save her life, but the woman died at

The newspapers of the state are
very generally urging the people
to send only the best men to the
legislature. Too often voters are
swayed by some sentiment, or
captivated, we may say, by some
popularity of speech or manner of
candidates and they vote for them
regardless of their mental or other
qualifications for seat in the house
of representatives. Any one who
has visited the Legislature has seen
men of this character on the floor.
The agitation started by the news
papers ought to, and will doubt
less, result in good. If it does we
will have a iar better class of law
makers and not so much confusion
and petit legislation. If the peo>
pie will only send their best men
to the legislature they will soon
appreciate the fact that it is not at
all necessary to have annual ses-
sions. .-Columbia Record.

Great Britain Makes Pro-
test.
Sinking of the Knight Commander
Followed BY Demands for
Full Reparation.

London, July 27.-The British
government today is sending in
structions to Sir Charles Hardinge
British ambassador to Russia, to
protest energetlcally against the
sinking of the British steamer
knight Commander by the Rus
sian Vladivostock squadron. The
greatest secrecy is to be main :
tained regarding the demands
made, but it is understood that
Balfour and his colleagues decided
to demand that the fullest rep
aratlon must be made by Russia
or diplomatic demands will he
followed by other measures.
The British note to he submitted
by Hardinge will not mention the
amount of the indemnity Russia
Is 10 pay, out a!l TO be sought Will
be the establish nent of the p-inci-
pie of indemnity and apology. A
salute to the british flag must be
conceded and the secure protcc-
ton of neutral shipping assured.
The government and all British
authorities are united it is declur-
ed, on the point that there was
no justification for the sinking of
the knight Commander. 1t is
felt in government circles that the
incident overshado ws the Red Sea
seizures which -hsue-~ practically
been adjusted but which failed to
settle the question of the rights Of
neutral commerce.

The Alliance Meeting.
Farmers Hold Their Annual Con.
vention in Columbia.
Special to Greenville News.

|
Columbia, July 27.-Tonight
the annual meeting of the alliance
was hold III a room at the City
Hotel. How different to the con,
claves at Spartanburg and Wal
halla and elsewhere There were
six duly accredited delegates from
that number of counties. Ten
years ago every county was rep.
resented even if by Belgian farm
ers. President ID. f. Efrd is
keeping the organization alive as
much as he can. He is live and
energetic officer and is doing his
best.
In about six counties there are
from one to six sub alliances that
are fairly active, but in the other
counties they are dormant to the
point of eternal sleep. At to-
nights annual convention there
were about Is present. About
half dozen represented their
counties and the others attended
in their individua! capacity upon
the payment of years dues, 35
cents. Most of these attending
we're trnetees of the alliance eX-
change fund and wished to be un-
derstood and hear what was the
view OF the remnant as to the fund
of $17, 00G. At present the trus-
tees of the fund have given bond
for the distribution of the S17,-
600, and the court has authoriz ID
the trustees to 60 ahead and Mas
ter Werner has been instructed to
report to the court what debts, if
any, are to be charged to the fund.
Several claims have been made
for large sums. These claims
have been disputed, and the trus-
tees plan to distribute the fund
first to tho county trustees and SO
on d.wn The line until the money
gets TO the original contributors.
There are some who still urge that
the fund ought to be kept intact
and that the time may come when
this money if kept together may
be used to advantage in some con,
test and that to distribute it would
mean so little to the original con-
tribut ors as to amount to almost
nothing, especially if there are to
be many costs and much more
litigation.

More Liquor Is Being Sold.
Special to Greenville News.

Special to Greenville News.
Columbia, July 27.-Chief
Constable Hammet, in his quar-
terly report, says;
BY referring to the previous re-
port you will find that there is a
considerable decrease in the value
of seizures made and very
heavy increase in the sales of the
dispensaries throughout the State.
This, | think, is attributed to the
better enforcement of the law.
Certainly, there is not as much
liquor Obrought into this State
as formerly. Quite number OF
persons who have been engaged n
retailing liquor have gone out OF
the business, and you will note
that 81 illicit still have been clos
ed up.
