has not sold his cotton will have to
bear the brunt Of the burden maybe;
but taking broad view Of the matter,
1t means a loss Of $50,000,000 or such
a matter to the whole south. 1t is
when we look at 1t from this stand
point that we can best see how II
hurts. But the most .regrettable thing
about such a calamity is the fact that
people Of the south are not prepared to
use the means they have at hand with
which to protect themselves. Cotton
Is too low now. I am satisfied that Ii
Is below the cost Of production. We
buyers will buy it when 1t Is offered;
but we have to sell 1t again immedi-
ately and that process does not help
prices. But few Of the farmers who
are holding their cotton are able to do
so and they will have to sell. Every
bale sold will tend to keep prices down.
Now. II 1t were only possible for peo-
pie Of all classes to realize their true
interest, and every man who is able to
do SO would buy one, two or fifty
bales Of cotton, as the case may be.
and hold on to 1t, prices would have
to advance. There would be no other
way for 1t. , II the advance did not
come before next spring, we would use
our influence to curtail the acreage
and the price would have to improve.
Such g. plan as this properly carried
out, would save millions Of money that
we will otherwise lose"

TILE DROP In COTTON.

The drop of two cents a pound IN
the price of cotton during the past
week has fallen like wet blanket, not
only on such farmers as have not YET
sold; but upon business and traffic OF
every kind.
At best cotton was moving Dut SLOW
ly even for some time previous to last
Saturday. There was feeling among
the holders of the staple that the de-
preston in prices. was. but temporary
and that the 10 cents mark would ne
cessarily be reached again within the
next few weeks. Because 1t was so
unexpected the sudden slump created
all the more CONSERVATION.
There Is no need to conceal the fact
that business Of all kinds has suffered
a heavy blow. Farmers have quit SELL
ing cotton for the present, the collec-
tions Of the merchants have fallen OIL
there has been a check in the stream
of bank deposits, and stagnation' mas
become general. There Is still plenty
of money available for all kinds OF
business: but the reoplo who were 50

Nor long ago the Boston Heralo
printed from one Of its washington
correspondents story to the enec'
that the Roosevelt children had cruelty
treated the Thanksgiving turkey D!
running II about the White House
grounds before it was killed, and the
president stood by and laughed. Al
tc whether or not there was any gooo
foundation for the story has not beer
made clear beyond the denial OF Secre'
tary Loeb; but that Is not the mos'
Interesting feature Of the incident
The president became very angry ano
issued orders to all the heads OF de-
partments not to give the Herald cor
respondents any more news. Inc
Herald continued to print Washing
ton news the same as IL no such or
ders had been issued, and after think
ing over the matter the president de-
cided to crawfish and withdraw Ms
ukase. OF course, II the Herald's tur-
KEY story was untrue, 1t did itself q
grave injustice to say the least OF It;
but the presidents attempts at pun
ishment were worse than silly. In the
first place he had no moral right tc
use his official influence In an enor'
to secure redress for a real or imagi'
nary personal grievance, and In the
second place, If he did have such
right, the developments have proved
that 1t would be Of no avail. However
there Is one thing to the presidents
credit in the matter, and that Is In
having sense enough to quit after he
had been brought to a realization o,
his inability to help himself.

in saying that the States action was

the result of an unintentional over

may soon introduce a resolution to
give authority to the commission to
build the great inter-oceanic waterway
on the sea level, although he does not
believe such a resolution is necessary.
While on the isthmus recently the
senator talked with a number OF MEM
bers Of the commission and conferred
at length with John F. Wallace, the
chief engineer in charge Of the build
ing of the canal. He became con-
vinced, he says, that the waterway
should be on the sea level, and that
nearly all officials Of this government
who have made the canal a study
agree with him. He said he was sure
the report Of Chief Engineer Wallace
would show a sea level canal to be
feasible. ........

EVERY distillery or glass factory, OF
other appendix Of any sort, estabilsn-
ed is an instrument to bolster up the
dispensary and give It stronger holo
upon the state, interesting more peo-
pie and more capital in Its perpetual
ton and making 1t Of course so mucn
the harder ever to get rid OF IT. Fol
this reason q South Carolina newspa-
per against the dispensary might very
properly object to the establishment
of a dispensary or glass factory to DC
business with the dispensary.-NeW-
berry Observer.
That is good doctrine. The Gospel
tells us that where a mans treasure
is, there is his heart also, and 1t fol-
lows that If influential Columbia peo-
pie are pecuniarily interested In the
Carolina Bottling works and the
Richland distillery they are bound to
become supporters Of the dispensary
It has been intimated that while the
bottle works belong for the most part
to South Carolinians, all the stock IN
the distillery is held outside the state
The whisky trust has been mentioned
in connection with the ownership. We
are free to say that while the intima-
ton as to the bottling works Is no
doubt true, we take no stock whatever
in the suggestion that no Columbia
people are interested in the distillery'
We have heard Columbia names men
toned as distillery stockholders, and
several Of these names are very prom
inent; but we cannot furnish proof
However, If it were a fact that nobody
in Columbia owned stock in this en-
terprise; If 1t were a fact that all the
stock was held outside the state, we
would hear a most terrible howl, and
that howl would be going up from the
city Of Columbia. That is our view
of the matter.

told them that, unless there should be
an extraordinary session next spring
a subject on which, he added, his own
mind was not quite clear-he would
probably go to San Antonio, Tex, to
attend the annual reunion Of his old
regiment Of Rough Riders. The. pres
ident said he expected to visit on his
way to San Antonio, Roswell, Ga,
which was the home Of his mother. It
is likely that other stops will be made
on the trip to Texas. Many invita-
tons have boon received by the pres
ident to visit various cities In the
south and he hopes to be able to ac-
cept at least some of them. From San
Antonio the president may take a trip
to the mountains Of Colorado to get
some shooting. The hunting expedi-

weeks. He told the Kentucky commit

TAX COLLECTIONS.

Tax collections this year are pro-
ceeding about as usual. slowly. The
treasurer has been doing the best he
could, but he still has long way to
go.
The tax book as received from the
auditor called for $s7,S12.s4, and Of this
amount up to yesterday morning the
collections aggregated $1S,251.3O.
In all there were about 10000 re-
ceipts to be issued at the beginning
of the tax collecting period and of
these 2,371 have been issued.
Most of the money collected so far
has been from small tax payers, the
larger tax payers waiting, as is their
custom, until the time limit is nearly
on the point of expiration.

THE following from the Baptist
courier's report of the proceedings Of
the recent Baptist State convention
concerns a subject that is entitled to
the most serious consideration OF the
people of South Carolina: ,:.r-
c.. c.. Brown offered resolution pro-
viding that the legislature be asked 70
provide a marriage license law. he
declared that II our absence OF divorce
law be justifable, we certainly should
restrain persons from entering the
marriage relation foolishly. We nave
no divorce in South Carolina, but we
have something worse: polygamy. "A
preacher in this state told me ne saw
the same woman marry three dinerent
men on three consecutive Sundays. u.
M. Ramsey said that there is no sacred
relation so lightly dealt with as mar
riaee. I agree with what has peen
said to the effect that We claim 10 De
holier than the Bible in not allowing
divorces. know Of no representative
exegetic authority who claims that the
Scriptures do not allow divorce Tor q
single cause. A marriage license law
would protect both the family and the
minister. Ministers ought not to nave
to assume the whole responsibility 1or
marrying people. The resolution was
adopted.

If Senator Platt Is really in earnest
with his bill to reduce southern repre-
sentation in congress, he will do the
negroes Of the south more harm than
good, and he'll not hurt the south
much either. But somehow, we sus-
pect that the real object Of the bill Is
not so much the accomplishment OF
the purpose avowed, as 1t is to put
southern Democrats on the defensive
to such an extent as will embarrass
their efforts to interfere with the
plans of the big Republican majority
1t is quite possible that the distin-
guished senator from New York is' as
usual, playing politics rather than
craftsmanship.

ORDERED TO MARRY OR MOVE
The mayor Of an Ohio town recently
issued orders that two hundred ne
gro men In the municipality govern
ed by him should marry and settle
down, or be compelled to leave town
within twelve hours. It Is said that
the rush for marriage licenses was so
strenuous that two would-be brides
were trampled under foot, four pros
pective grooms were dubbed into IN
sensibillty and one was shot through
the hand. On the day following the
mayors ukase, the police made an
investigation and every negro man
was required to show a bride or buy
a railroad ticket, while every negro
woman was required to present nus
band or get back to Kentucky, or
whence she came. "The affair speaks
for ITSELF" says the Birmingham
News. 1T simply shows to what ex-
tremes some Of the northern districts
will go to improve seriously
threatening situation" The mayor OF
the Ohio town, however, had a very
good South Carolina example before
him when he determined to reform the
morals Of his community In the way
indicated. 1t has been only rev
years since a trial justice In South
Carolina required all the colored peo-
pie living within his Jurisdiction 10
get married or move on, and II Is
said that there has been marked
improvement in the quiet and good
order Of the community since ne
adopted this unusual but altogether
wholesome policy.-News and Cou-
rier.
