. Ito as Administrator.
Wei Hal Wei, March 20 There is
great significance in Marquis Ito's APP
peararce in Seoul as special ambas-
sador" from Japan. Ostensibly he is
there, to, deliver. an. autograph letter to
thelkorean emperor. In reality he is
there as administrator, though posi-
Z bly, only temporarily. - He will in a
few days be recognized as r sspeciai a adj
visor to Korea. He may decide to APP
point: one of his staff as administra-
stor and in few weeks return to
Toxic. Part of his mission is to coax
the crown prince of Korea to return
with him as the guest of honor of the
,impeffal family. This move, of course,
will .fender the prince hostage in
Toxic for the earnest behavior of the
Korean emperor.

The cotton Spectators have
hammered down the price of cot
ton to an unbearable condition,
and it has aroused the moneyed
men, banks. and other sources
of money supply to the extent
that great inducements are be-
ing offered to help the farmers
in their battle against specula-
ton. Organization on the part
of the farmers, even now, can
bring about a reaction and force
prices up. There is nc reason
for cotton to be selling at seven
cents, even with $1,000. 900 bale
crop, aud nothing is doing it but
the taking advantage of the dis
organized condition of the farm
er. Cotton can be stored at a
nominal cost, and money will be
advanced upon it at a very low
rate of interest. By this means
it can be held until the conges-
ton is relieved and the specula-
tors realize that the South is not
solely dependent upon New York
for money. We believe the move
ment on foot now will be pro-
ductive of good to the cotton
grower, if he will join with those
who are striving to bring about
better prices.

gentleman was driving i rather skit'

was nearing q portion Of the road
where the asphalt was under repairs.
\ broad, deep dixie had been cut for

only 4 small board had been put up to
notify the public that repairs We're be-
fng made He succeeded in nearly stop
ping his horse as he came to the place,
but the animal was still very fdgety.
Not having q groom with him, he called
out to policeman standing near and
asked him to hold his horse while he
got down and came to its head. The
policeman, being one Of the true Prus-
sian type, never budged. Again the
gentleman called to him. Still the man
took no notice Fortunately no acci
dent occurred, and the driver succeed
ed in turning his horse around and
drove home. He wrote q furious letter
to the head Of the police and in due
time received reply to the effect that
the said policeman, having served in
an infantry and not in a cavalry regi-
ment before he joined the force, could
not be expected to come to the horses
head, as he was unacquainted with the
ways and manners Of such animals

It's disgusting the way some
of our politicians are forging
themselves into public notice, by
taking to task cities Of the South
that have invited the President
to visit them on his Southern
tour in the spring. The last one
of these fault-fnders have an ak
to grind-they are appealing to
the prejudices of an ignorant
element which unfortunately is
in the majority, so as to enhance
their personal political interests.
The President is being invited to
visit the South, not the politl-
clans, but the people. He is the
President of the South as we'll
as the North, the East, and the
West, and we are glad to note the
disposition of the business men
to brush aside past differences,
brought on by an element whose
existance is maintained by strife,
twill show to the country at large
that the South is not enclosed
within a wall Of blind prejudice,
and without considering party
differences the President Of the
Nation is also their President.

The legislature will soon be
in session, and our delegation
will be expected to give our
farmers relief from the evil OF
traficing in seed cotton. Many
of the counties have now law
which makes trafficing in seed
cotton prohibitive, and we have
reached the conclusion that this
county should be put in line with
them. If something Of the kind
is not done, the present license
tax now in vogue will be tested
and it's unconstitutionality is a
foregone conclusion. The result
will be that the law will not be
recognized and the traffic will
continue to the damage of plant
ers without redress.

President Roosevelt has again

President Roosevelt has again
sent in the nomination of ". D.
Crum for collector of the port Of
Charleston, and the indications
are he will be confirmed. The
newspapers of the South are dis
posed to censure the President
for ipersisting in this appoint
ment, but we do not see how the
President could do otherwise
than to stand by the position al
ready taken, for the reason that
no objections to Crum is offered
other than his race, and to turn
down an appointment for such a
reason would be contrary to the
the fundamental principles OF
this government. Presl d m t
Roosevelt sent this nomination
to the Senate and that body has
never acted upon it. Senator
Tillman made a strong and sue
cessful fight to keepi itaway from
the Senate so far, but in our
opinion, it would have been far
better had the Senate acted one
way or another long ago. There
has been two much shilly-shally,
ing in this matter already, and
the President is determined to
put the Senate on record. we
believe, if the full truth was
was made public the people who
are now censuring the President
would find that he is not alone
responsible for Crum's nomlna-
ton, but that much Of the re,
sponsibility would be found
nearer home.
