RESTS LARGELYWITH ALEXIEFF
NOW.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 5.-As an
nounced in the Associated Press dis
patches the draft of the Russian re-
sponse, tentatively approved by the
Gar, was telegraphed to Viceroy
Alexieff last night. In this respect the
document follows the course of it's
predecessors. The viceroy, being on
the ground, will have an opportunity
to examine the phraseology' and report
any objections he may have before re-
ceiving final instructions to deliver the
reply to Baron de Rosen, Rusian minis
ter at Toxic, for presentation to Baron
Komura, Japanese foreign minister
It is expected that Viceroy Alexieff
will respond without any delay and
send the answer to reach Japan on
Monday. While the contents of the
response are carefully guarded they are
known to be in conciliatory spirit
and form, and to contain what are re-
regarded here as Important concessions,
although maintaining Russia's former
position on some of the main points
covering Manchuria and CoIea.

The interviewer then asked :

ssSuppose Russia's answer is con-
ciliatory and reasonable, but refuses
to go to the extent OF signing the
treaty you desire: will your Govern
ment then have recourse to armss:"
s'That is precisely what l mean, "
replied the minister
elf the Government Of his Majesty,
King Edward VII, asks Japan not to
make war; continued the interviewer,
s'and requests her to accept Russia's
reply, what will Japan do?''
We shall greatly object to such in
tervention, even coming from the
King. We desire to be left alone in
our duel with Russia. We do not
want support or assistance. We desire
to settle our own accounts with Rus
sia. -
In terminating the interview Baron
Hayashi was asked:
ssThen you say that if Russia refuses
to sign a. treaty recognizing China's S
rights in Manchuria that means war?''
s'That will be war; replied the
minister.
Baron Hayashi added to the fo7ego-
ing that he believed it to be the view
Of his government, and that authority

F.after it is manufactured it is very
mild. THERE'S growing demand, the
fancy gocers say, for just that kind of
cheese.
The officers of Georges Creek fac
tory are, as follows: E. E. Perry,
president; c. H. Carpenter, vice
treasurer.
At Brushy Greek. six miles south
of Easley, is to be found another COM
munity OF progressive farmers that
may be termed apt scholars to learn
the art of cheese making from the OBJ
iect lesson, which they observed at
Easley- They profted by observation
at Easley and by CLUBBING together,
they have overcome the obstacles that
proved the downfall of the Easley
creamery
The Brushy Creek Cheese factory
was organized Aug. !, 1908. It was
Immediately equipped at a cost OF
about $500 and is the best plant III the
county. The first cheese was made
I Nov. "a, 1908. A short time after this
date this factory turned out 81 pounds
of cheese from 1913 pounds Of milk. Mr..
Voigt, the cheese expert, says this is
the finest record Of cheese making be
has ever known in his long experience.
The average in the south for this
amount of milk is about forty eight
pounds. The officers of this plant are
/ J.. ". Rosamond president; ": G.
| Pickens, vice president, and G. j.
Ellison, secretary and treasurer.
Nj. G. G. Voigt has in successful
operation on his farm what he terms
:sshand outfit for making cheese.
He has also. introduced similar con-
! triyance among some of his neighbors
| The hand outfit is very simple con-
tivance for the manufacture of cheese,
| and is made in different sizes, with a
capacity of 10, 20 or 30 GALLONS per
day. 1t can easily be operated by a
woman. The quality of cheese thus
produced is as good as that ofssan or
dinary plant. The hand outfit saves
expense of driving and hauling to fac
tories. TIE cost of the outfit is $40 or
$50 or more dependent upon the capa-
city.
By actual calculation, Mr.. Voigt
cleared $3.50 on two cows in one
month by converting their product
into cheese.
| Three new plants have recently been
| organized in Oconee. One is located
| at Walhalla, known as the Walhafla,
| Cheese factory. 1t was organized Oct.
16, 1903. Capital stock $500. B. R.
Moss, secretary and treasurer. This
plant will be in operation early in the
spring.
| In the lower portion of Oconee are
two other plants. each of 2O0-gallon
capacity. One is located at Tokeena,
| the other at Mount Tabor. Miles P.
Singleton is president of the latter:
All these plants have been organized
on the cooperative plan of the farmers,
as they are in this county-in fact the
idea was obtained from Pickens.
In the light of these facts and the
advantages South Carolina possesses it
will not be surprising if the State,
within the course of a few years. at
leaast produces enough cheese for home
consumption, and not impossible that
| a surplus will be sold to the world at
large. W. E. Dendy.

According to Mrs. Kate Epson Clark,
the way to be happy, though a genius,
is to marry. The poets wife,"
said Mrs. Clark in a recent address,
'uoes not care for poetry after the first
week, any more than the grocer's boy
does for figs. She never wishes to tell
Of the neighborhood's gossip but she in
terrupts some great thought Of her hus-
bands; then he imagines he is bereft
of sympathy and looks for it in the
wives and daughters Of his neighbors,
and If he be handsome he usually finds
it. The genius should not marry. A
woman wants her husband-nOt his art.
Genius is insanity. In order to be gen.
fus it lives most Of the time in a world
of deep emotions. 1t is hard for people
of artistic temperament to conform to
ordinary rules. Thus divorces, suicides,
drunkenness and impulsive vices are
found among people of genius. The
irrepressible temperament seems to be
absolutely necessary to art"

"AuIG Brig o. Ayr"

The "Auld Brig O. Ayr" immortaliz-

cay after a useful existence of over
600 years. Burns makes it say to it's
new rival, who ~reproached it as being
old fashioned and ugly: "IIl be a brig
when ye're a shapeless cairn." But it's
supports are now crumbling. An archi-
tect reports that it will soon collapse
unless it be shored up and renewed.
He is trying to induce the town council
of Ayr to appropriate $500 for its
preservation. The council is willing to
act, it is said. but is delaying over a
question of whether the money should
come from taxation or be taken from a
bequest long ago made for the purpose,
the validity Of which is undecided.

Fact. About japan.

The title "Mikado," given by the
japanese to their emperor, is very
ancient one, and means "The Honora-
BILE Gate" In diplomatic papers the
emperor is not referred to as Mikado,
but as Hotel.
The mikados Of Japan claim their de-
scent can be traced back farther than
that Of any living rulers of the pres
ent day. They trace their lineage back
in an unbroken line to the Emperor
Jimmu, who lived 20 years before
Christ appeared on earth.
The four hundred mobiles Of Japan
are divided into the classes of imperial
princes, princes and marquises,
counts, viscounts and barons.
The next highest class is composed
Of persons who are nominated men,
bers of the house of peers for their
learning or for their meritorious serv-
ice to the state.

The empire is divided into districts
called Flu and Ken.' These districts
are sub-divided into counties called
Gun, and the municipalities in the
counties are called Shi.
In every county there are sheriff
and county council, who manage To-
cal affairs.
The imperial council consists af SO
members, and when census is taken
these SO persons are always enumc-
rated separately.
There are about 100000 of persons
in Japan who are still designated as
knights. These are the men who used
to be the retainers Of the feudal chiefs
or daimos.
Japan has absolute freedom of reli-
gion, and there are more than one thou
sand Roman Catholic, Greek and Prot
estant churches there. There are
1900 Buddhist temples in the empire.
A queer thing about Japan is that
the state and local authorities support
a large number of shrines dedicated to
emperors and to mepeorious citizens.
