to war when you know you are right,
even If defeat is possible, than to see
your independence submerged under a
continual aggression that is bound to
absorb you eventually. Nothing can
avert war between Russia and Japan
in future years, even If peace is pro-
cured now, so long as Russia pursues
her present far Eastern policy. 1.-The
American action in enforcing the open
ing of the Manchurian ports was a
splendid example Of honest diplomacy.
1t was a straightforward step, which
contrasts favorably with Russian meth
DDS. No other nation, except Great
Britain, when the British admiralty
bought the two Chilian warships, has
taken any practical step to live up to
its diplomatic demands upon Russia
anent the far East We believe we
are now fighting a diplomatic battle in
behalf of America and Great Britain,
but if only war can settle it we know
we shall receive assistance from neith-
er. We are prepared to fight our own
battles and take the consequences"

told our guide that we wanted beer,

reaching the outside, my friend sought
to pay the proprietor; but he also de-
clared that there was no charge, so
the bill was not settled. OF course,

In his letter to the News and Cour-
ier of Monday, Mr.. August Kohn dis
cusses the proposition for the estab-
lishment of additional judicial circuits
as follows:
Whether there will be two addition
al judicial circuits provided for by this
legislature is a matter about which
there Is much doubt. If there Is a
probability Of such legislation 1t
amounts to no more than that, Tor
there is no certainty about 1t at all. In
the first place the judiciary commit
tee seemingly has no we'll defined opin-
ion as to whether the circuits should
be created, or If they are to be, how
they are to operate. With the law
yers disagreeing and laymen IN the
legislature more or less opposed to the
idea or Indifferent about 1t, the out.
look for the two new circuits Is not
over bright, though the question has
been agitated so long and so persist
emily that it may be that something
will be finally done. Laymen are
more or less inclined to the opinion
that it is not the fault Of having only
eight circuits that court business IS
congested or drags along slowly, but
the fault largely Of the lawyers IN
postponing cases and resorting to 9TH
er methods Of causing delay. Laymen
may be wrong in this, but many OF
them think so nevertheless. They real
lie, however, that present conditions
are not desirable and their opposition
to two new circuits Is not so strong
that they will not relent If 1t is shown
that such legislation will prove a rem
edy and bring relief. There is one
thing about the whole question which
seems certain beyond all question,
and that is should the matter reach the
proper stage the legislature will over
whelmingly vote to abolish the sys-
tenn Of having special judges, a plan
which has been frequently resorted
to in the past few years. This sup
posed expedient has proven entirely
unsatisfactory to lawyers and people
generally, and that Is one feature OF
the case which has aided much In
creating some sentiment In favor OF
additional circuits.

"BREAcH OF THE PEACE"

One of York's representatives has
been figuring in the Columbia police
court for alleged breach Of the peace.
THE ENQUIRER has been able to gather
but few facts about the circumstance
other than has appeared in the Colum-
bia State.
This paragraph is from the State Of
Saturday:
Representative Preston D. Barron
was fined SIS in the recorders court
yesterday for breach Of the peace
Mr.. Barron told Officer Marsh who
made the arrest that he was MEM
Der of the house and was not liable to
arrest during the session Of the gen.
eral assembly except for treason, fel-
ony or breach Of the peace, but the
officer considered Mr.. Barrons conduct
q breach of the peace. Mr.. Barron
resisted and was arrested with some
difficulty. He was taken to the station
where he was detained over night. In
the court Mr. Barron called the record
er's attention to the constitution Of
South Carolina relating to arrest OF
members of the general assembly, but
the recorder sustained the action OF
Officer Marsh and tried the case.
Additional developments are reported
in the same paper of Monday as fol-

Washington correspondence Brook
lyn Eagle: An ingenious scheme has
been proposed by Representative Bur-
Lesson of Texas, to put an end to one
species of fake cotton crop reports
kind utilized every year to force
down prices and prevent the growers
from getting the rates the deserve for
their product. Mr.. Burleson is himself
a cotton grower and thus has a first
hand knowledge of the methods that
are employed by individuals to drive
down prices while cotton is in the fields
and to boost it up after 1t has left the
hands Of the growers. 'I have very
simple remedy for this evil. I have
proposed nominal tax Of mill pei.
bale Of cotton ginned within the Unit
ed States. The idea Is not to raise
revenue from the taxation, but to es-
tablish some machinery for getting ac-
curate and official information about
the size Of the product. I propose to
have the census office take charge OF
the compilation Of the statistics, which
will be published as soon as possible
for use Of the public. The total tax
on crop Of 1O,5oo,OOO bales Of cotton
would be only s1O.5OO, and none Of the
ginners would object to this small tax.
Every cotton grower to whom I have
spoken about this scheme has express
ed enthusiastic Endorsement Of 1t, and
I hope 1t will be adopted by congress-"

IT is quite possible that the hurried
signing Of the commercial treaty be-
tween the United States and China is
Of rather more significance than SEEM
ed to appear on the face Of the trans
action. Russia had all but gobbled
Manchuria, and Chinese sovereignty OF
the province is merely nominal. The
signing OF the treaty, however, gives
privileges to a country that is able
to maintain it's rights, and Russia's de-
signs as to Manchuria are checkmated
until she sees proper to formally an
mex the province. That she has all
along been intending to do this there
is little reason to doubt; but it Is quite
certain that she will now proceed with
rather more deliberation.

linas apportionment would be $3ss,oo0.
1t is provided, however, that no state
or county shall receive any portion OF
the appropriation unless 1t is willing
to spend an equal sum itself. In other
words up to the amount Of the appor-
tionment, the National government will
put up a dollar for road Improvement
for every dollar put up by the state
or county. OF course, we do not look
for the passage Of any such measure
at once. While there are lots Of con-
gressmen who are broad enough and
intelligent enough to see the wisdom
of spending government money on the
roads, it Is not probable that ma
jority of them will be able to reach
such a plane until after they have got
ten some very positive and unmistaka-
BILE instructions from the great mass
of agricultural voters. But this mat
ter Of road improvement under nation
al encouragement Is coming and the
sooner it comes the greater will be the
prosperity Of this great country.

THE IMMIGRATION MOVEMENT.
Meeting In the Senate Chamber This
Evenino to Formulate Plans.

Meeting In the Senate Chamber This
Evening to Formulate Plans.
The first meeting Of the South Caro-
lima immigration Executive committee
will be held Tuesday night at o'clock
in the senate chamber. The state as
sociation was organized on the 10th Of
November last. Enthusiastic represen-
tatives from eighteen counties were
present. The lofty object the asso-
citation hopes to accomplish through
immigration Is the engrafting upon the
citizenship of this state Of sturdy set
tiers from the old country, who will
populate the agricultural section now
being deprived Of it's citizens in order
to give them employment in the cot
ton mills.
It is said that the mill men have
reached a point now where they realize
that the source of their labor-the
rural districts-must be replenished
with people, to meet local demands for
the raw staple, as we'll as supply the
markets which the mills have brought
into existence with such marvellous
rapidity.
One Of the movements contemplates
interesting Scotch immigrants. The
Scotch figured prominently in the early
colonial settlements in both the Caro-
linas. and many Of the leading and
most progressive citizens Of the state
are Of Scotch or Scotch-Irish extrac-
ton. The environment is highly favor
able to Scotch immigrants.
The work of the executive committee
at this meeting is highly important and
means much for the success Of the as
sociation.
The committees duties, as outlined
In the convention, are:
First-To prepare constitution for
the South Carolina immigration asso-
citation, and each county organization.
Second-To prepare in suitable form
all information relative to the resources
of the state.
Third-To elect a general agent upon
whom shall devolve all the duties ap-
pertaining to an immigration agent.
Fourth-To devise a plan by which
to raise the funds necessary to defray
the expenses necessarily incurred

ANDERSON county has raised about
$500 for the Hampton monument; but
few Of the other counties Of the state
have seen proper to bestir themselves
on the subject. 1t. has been proposed
in the general assembly that the state
build the monument outright without
reference to private subscriptions.
Better this, of course, than no mon
ument; but it will be a serious refiec-

lima If it fails to raise that paltry $lO,-
900 under the conditions that have been
named.

A BILL Is pending in the general as
sembly providing that the state pay
for animals destroyed by the state
veterinary surgeon on account OF al
legged contagious disease. We are not
prepared to approve this suggestion;
but at the same time we freely admit
that the problem involved is knotty
one. For instance there was an alleged
outbreak Of glanders in this county
year or two ago. Chambers Is disease
that has been considered throughout
all time as equivalent to certain death.
We have no information that any horse
or mule died from the alleged dis
ease during the alleged outbreak. refer
red to. Several, however, were killed
by order Of DR.. Nesom, the veterinary
at Clemson, and at least one which was
pronounced by him to be suffering
from glanders, recovered and became
sound and we'll after 1t had been tied
out in the woods for week or two.
II the state should undertake to pay
fullprices for such animals, as may be
condemned to destruction, 1t would be
imposed on frequently. The idea OF
full pay is- utterly .impracticable. But
there ought to be some responsibility
somewhere. There Is reason to doubt
as to whether there was ever a genuine
case Of glanders in this county during
the alleged epidemic. 1t Is quite GER
tain that the horses that were tied out
in the woods and which recovered were
not afflicted with the disease. So while
it is not practicable to pay for all ami
mails condemned on suspicion. it seems
that something should at least be done
to protect stock owners from THE con-
sequences Of irresponsible incompetent
