The farmers Of this section are
through planting. Some have good
stands. while the later planting has
not come up good as yet. A large area
has been planted in cotton this year
some larger than last year. The out
look for q good yield in the small grain
crops is more promising just now, and
if the weather is favorable for the next
reaped. We will have some fruit to
eat this summer, for the cold weather
did not destroy it.
Supervisor j. N. Vandiver was in
our midst one day last week looking
after the cOunty's interest. He in
forms us that he will not offer for re-

1t has been said by some eminent
writer that "you can mark the civiliza-
tiOn OF q people by their roads," Of
in that trite saying, and it would only
take aJourney over our roads now to
convince anyone that we have most ex-
cellent travelling roads. We have Of
ten commented on "roads." but just at
this particular time we would like to
cay q few words of praise Of our valua-
BILE public servants "for honor to whom
honor ia due" The county chain gang
is in our midst and under the efficient
control of Overseer Kay. who has Ger
tainly, placed our Leading roads in
splendid condition. He is indeed the
proper man and thoroughly under.
stands road making. He is giving the
county valuable service, for which il
should feel proud. OF course, oul
Township Supervisor. J. AI. Hanks,
has the roads worked that is most
needed, and to him much credit il
given for our excellent roads, for it if
given up that he is the best township
supervisor in the county. He is man
of practical sound Judgment. We
would he glad to see him fill the office
of county supervisor, for he is fully
qualified, and If he would only consent
to offer his service to the county foI
this office we have no doubt but that
he wonld win easily, if only known
elsewhere as he is in Honea Path

Hon. Jno. Sharp Williams, the Demo.
cratic leader in the House Of Rep.
Eesentatives, has given out an inter
view in which he expresses the belief
that Judge Parker will be nominated
by the St. Louis convention on the
firss ballot. He thinks there will be,
practically, no opposition to Parker's
nomination. Mr.. Williams says he
personally favors Parker because he
comes from the right State and the
right section. He considers him the
logical candidate, both geographically
and politically, and because he SEEM
ed an eminently conservative, careful
and healthy minded man.

Ex-Governor NJ. B. McSweeney is
being impcrtuned by his friends to
become candidate for Congress from
the Second District. The many
friends Of the Ex-Governor through
out the State would be more than
pleased to see him occupying seat
in Congress, and we feel safe in say
ing that the people of that District
could not secure more efficient and
jealous Representative.

In speech recently in Congress on
the tariff, Senator Bacon, of Georgia,
proved that our sewing machines, sold
for $15 in England, cost s25 in this
country, and that American steel rails
could be bought $5 ton cheaper in
England than in Pennsylvania or
Alabama. This is only one Of the
ways the tariff laws enables the trusts
to rob the people Of this country.

CANNOT PUNISH
FOR CONTEMPT.
Supreme Court Holds State
Board Of Arbitration Has
Not That Power.

jefferson City, June 3-The Su
preme Court in banc handed dowr
an opinion affecting the powers o
the State Board OF Mediation an6
Arbitration, which declares that the
board has no power to punish a wit
ness for contempt, nor can thstpow
cr be delegated to any Circuit Court
to- act for the board.
The effect of the decision Ia vital to
the State board, as it practically
takes away all Its power delegstedi In
the legislative act creating the board.
1t dos not say that the act creating
the board is unconstitutional, nor
that the board cannot act 10 strike
matters In arranging a compromise,
but II the testiiying witness ieeis that
HE constitutional rights are being
abridged by the questions OF the
board he can refuse to answer, and
cannot then be punished for con.
tempt either by the board or by an
application to any court.
The case at bar came up from st.
Louis. IL grew out Of the livery
mems strike, in which the State Board
OF Arbitration and Mediation sought
to effect a compromise. Both sides
agreed to q settlement Of the strike
By the board, but when the board
asked certain questions, the non-un-
Ion liverymen refused to answer.
Application was then made to
Judge Ryan of the Circuit Court to
hold the refractory witnesses forcon.
tempt.
Witness Haughey then made ap.
plication to the Supreme Court for a
arit OF prohibition to prevent Judge
Ryan from acting in the contempt
proceedings, which application was
to day granted by the Supreme
Court.

SEE THE END OF THE WAR.
How the London Experts Size
Up the Eastern Situation.


London, June 3.-With General
0ku drawing the lines close around
Port Arthur, and with Dalny intact
az base, with General Kurokl to the
north of Molten mountains and with
only an easy. campaigning country
between him and the Russian posi-.
ton at Lao Yong, there is every rea'
sonto look for early action which
will practically settle the fate Of the
war.
The fact that General 0ku has
found Dslny practically intact causes
some surprise here. 1t has been re-
ported that the Russians already had
destroyed the docks and piers, bar.
racks and storehonses, In fact, every
thing which would be of use to the
Japanese, and as thi- would have
been in accord with the Russian prac-
tice, the report generally was he'iev-
ed That it was not done may tn
attributed either to the fact that the
Japanese victory at Nan 5 an made
the abandment OF Dslay necessary in
such a hurry that there Was not time
for the work OF destruction to becar
ried out or that the Russians are
confident the Japanese occupation
will be only temporary
Admiral Togo's action yesterday
in again attempting to bottle up the
Port Arthur squadron was to be ex.
pected. Thejupanese admiral would
be foolish to give the Russian squad
ron an opportunity to come out and
fight when the fall of Port Arthur
will compel its surrender or self de
tense. 1t is altogether probable that
further attempts to cork up the
channel will he made before the final
assault on Port Arthur Is made.
The situation about Lao Yang is
interesting. 1t seems to be settled
that the Japanese have again taken
possession Of Motienling pass. Be-
yOnd this the disposition OF the
troops, whether Russian or Japanese,
is u matter Of conjecture. 1t is not
believed there is any real basis for
the stories that kuropatkin has sent
q force to the relief of Port Arthur
or that he has any intention Of TAX
ing the offensive at present. The
weakening OF his main body by send
Ing u force strong enough to have
any chance OF crushing Oku would
place him practically at the mercy OF
Kuroki, who could crush him in de-
tail. In the opinion OF experts he
will concentrate his full strength to
hisstrongy fortified lines about Lao
Yang and then await the Japanese
attack.

Georgia is For Parker.

Atlanta, Ga, June by a vote
of 166K to 157x the Georgia Demo.
crat convention instructed it's dele
gates to the national convention to
vote for the nomination OF Judge
Alton B. Parker OF New York for
president. The convention has ad
journed.
Much depended on the action OF the
Georgia Democracy to-day. 1t has
been said repeatedly that II Parker
secured the Endorsement OF Georgia
he would practically secure the "solid
South" A hard fight was made by
the Parker opposition as is shown
by the close vote. A poll made
shows that Parker will control q ma.
jority Of the uninstructed delegates
and he now has good lead over all
the other candidates. The action of
the Georgia Democrats, coupled with
the failure OF Oklahoma and Michi
gan to instruct for Hearst, adds
prestige to the Parker movement and
will strengthen the iurist's following.
