over the state who will resent the
thrust made upon tho South Caro-
lima Military Academy by State
Superintendent of Education

given to the state printer. His
suggestion to the effect that this
institution, which is deeply rooted
and grounded in the affections OF
the people of the state, and which
: is the pridsof South Carolina and
the envy of many southern states
be removed to Columbia and be-
come an adjunct or part. of the

The state farms. have this year

know how much of this amount
exists n-cold cash and will find
it's way into the state treasury to
add it's mite toward the reduction
of the taxes of the farmers who

it has been alleged that more Of

Hon. Geo. Bell Zimmerman,
solicitor-elect from this judicial
circuit, in response TO request
from the editor of the News and
Courier for. an expression of + is
views upon the better enforce
ment of law and the punishment
of criminals, writes very strong
letter to.that journal setting forth
or suggesting three changes which
if enacted would contribute large
" toward the suppression OF
crime.
First: No man should be al
lowed to act as juror in the trial
of q case who has himself bsen.
tried for the same or similar Of
fense. Second: When person
has been convicted of manslaugh-
ter or any other crime of equal or
greater gravity and an appeal has
been made, bail should not be
granted pending the appeal.
Third: In the selection of a jury
reduce the number of peremptory
challenges which would make it
more difficult to choose by design
dishonest jurors. All of these
points are well taken, showing that
Mr.. Zimmerman is thoroughly
conversant with the situation and
that, witnal, he will discharge very
ably the duties of solicitor, upon
which he will enter at an early
day.

Edgefeld has had her first ex-
perience with carnivals and God
forbid Eve say it itreverently that
another should ever be allowed to
enter the portals of our town. We
shall not criticise the one that
..spieled" and "barked" in our
midst last week, fog be it said to
the creditof it's management, it
was conducted upon much
higher plane than are most of its
competitors. While there may be
no immoral shows in such aggre-
cations of attractions, so demoral-
izing are carnivals to the entire
community that we say with all
OF the emphasis that we can COM
: sIss HHuih with hsfdsd .ad Of them, together The
with!their kith..., and kin. Farm
labor and domestic servants For
miles; around are dreadfully de-
moralized and business is almost
totally paralized by them. Why,
the loafsrs are disturbed from
walking their regular beats and
the..young and the old alike lose
their heads. In fact, one-horse
carnival can turn a four-horse
town upside down and inside out
in less than twenty-four hours.

symphony Orchestra Sunday Concert

No abatement is apparent In the generous
enthusiasm accorded the popular Sunday
evening concerts, which have been in
progress at Chase's for the past several
weeks under the auspices of the Washing
ton Symphony Orchestra. Despite the APP
pearance of another leading attraction last
evening the ninth concert was, given to a
remarkably large audience.
The program presented was diversified
and interesting. The playing of Mr.. Ohm
stead and Mr.. r. G. Stems and the singing
of Mr.. Wrightson were special features.
The audience gave frequent evidence Of its
appreciation, though the program was car
ried to unusual length by numerous encores.
The first number. Rossini's "Semiramide,"
was a pleasing one, and in which the or
chestra displayed great precision. The first
movement Of Grieg's concerto in A minor,
for piano and orchestra, was rendered by
Mr.. Olmstead. The composition is difficult,
and Mr.. Olmstead proved himself easily
qualified to give it intelligent treatment.
The orchestra gave an excellent rendition
Of the "Serenade," by Schubert. and the
entr' acte from "Mdgnon,' by Thomas.
Mr.. Wrightson, baritone. sang the pro-
logue to IT Pagliacci." The first part of
tho program ended with Goldmark's
"Scherzo." In the second part Of the pro-
gram the following numbers were rendered:
"Einzugsnfarsch," composed by Mr.. r. G.
Storms; "Gavotte," by Sapellnikoff; Two
Pieludes.' by R. de Koven. and Chopin's
.'BalIade'' In G minor. "Cavatina," Mon
Desir," by Nevin: Elm Ton," by Cornelius;
"Allegretto," by Beethoven.

Another Standard Oil Corner

The key to nan a mystery in bust
ness and legislation may be found by
asking: 'How does this interest the
standard Oil Company" This question
throws light on the obstacles that have
barred the way Of the Boutell bill, a
measure to remove the internal reve-
tax on alcohol used in arts and
manufactures. The secret of the oppo-
Isition is that untaxed alcohol would
prove a cheap fuel for driving small
engines. 1t can be produced for much
less than the present cost of gasoline.
,Alcohol is superior 10 gasoline for this
purpose and cheap alcohol would COM
lpel Rockefeller TO reduce the price of
gasoline. This he would doubtless do
rather than lose the market. SO il
seems that in the final analysis the tax
on alcohol Is money in the treasury OF
the standard Oil.-Minneapolis Journal.
