STIRRED BY RUMoRs.-Those who
think few Charlotte people are inter-
ested in the outcome Of the negotia-
tions between Russia and japan should
have been down at the wharf" yester-
day afternoon when a report was receiv-
ed over one Of the cotton exchange wires
to the effect that the Associated Press
had given out the information that
war had been declared. AS soon as
those Interested in the cotton market
heard the report they hurried to the
different cotton exchanges and crowd
ed them to their full capacity. II
seems that rumors Of war being de-
clared have come out as mere reports
circulated about the floors Of the ex-
changes every now and then, but, ac-
cording to this story, the Associated
Press was said to have given out the
news and considerable Importance was
attached thereto. The excitement
however, was short-lived, for inquiries
were Immediately sent to New York
where 1t was said that the Associated
Press had given out no such state
ment. One well-known New York
cotton dealer wired his Charlotte rep
resentative:
I'm my judgment it will be several

MAY YET BE NoMINATED.-Cleve-
land is the only possible Moses OF the
Democracy at the present time. He
alone, in a word, Is fit to be pitted
against Theodore Roosevelt, whose
extraordinary qualities and whose rec
ord of achievements require that the
man to oppose him shall himself be
the possessor Of extraordinary quail
ties and of a record Of great things
done. Who but Cleveland answers
this description?
Richard Olney's recent speech, IN
which he ignored Cleveland's refusal
to be q candidate and demanded his
nomination, Is an index to the feeling
which prevails on this head among
the Democrats who actually make the
policy and guide the fortunes Of their
party. The demand Of this element Is
not likely to be futile. Nor Is 1t to be
anticipated that the hatred Of the Bry-
antics for Cleveland will be mate
rial obstacle. Organism has lost Its
lower of obstruction. The conserya-
tive forces will undoubtedly predomi-
nate In the next Democratic national
convention, and the conditions point
inevitably to the nomination Of the
only man whom the Democrats have to
offer that has any pretensions to be
on the same plane as a statesman as
the present occupant of the presiden-
tial office.-Pittsburg Leader. ....

TODAY is the first anniversary OF the
death of Captain Lewis Mason Grist.
He passed to his reward on Jan. 10,
1903. During the past year his sue
cessors have been striving, to the best
of their humble abilities, to perpetuate
the principles upon which he lived his
earnest and sincere life. AS to what
measure of success that have met with
is not for them to say. They know
only that when in hesitation or doubt,
they have been satisfied to be guided
by his precepts and as the result OF
much reflection they feel that they are
beginning to know him even better
than when ali. e. The efforts of the
past year will be continued in the
years to come. The successors of the
lamented deceased confidently believe
that in all things essential he was
right. They believe that he lived for
God and the right rather than him.
self They trust and pray that they
may not be swerved from the path that
he marked out. If they should at any
time fail to measure up to their duty,
the fault is theirs; but for whatever
honorable success tney may attain the
credit is his.

The matter Is simmering and what
will come out Of 1t all remains to be
seen; it may be that as the members
are soon to appear before the voters
they will leave the issue for the ap-
preaching campaign.
There appears to be decided prohi-
bition spirit manifest in the early days
Of the session. Mr.. Doyle proposed q
bill to prevent treating on election
days. The bill seemed to be regarded
as a joke at the outset, but the speech
es and the vote passing the bill In the
house, indicated that the temper was
to pass almost anything that savored
Of temperance feature. Mr.. Beam.
GUARD, Of York, favored the measure
in. q little talk. -.

have already started and both branch

undertakes to give smaller industrial
communities the right to appoint con-
stables and police protection. It is un-
derstood that the bill is intended to
allow the Catawba Falls community
to have a police officer who will have
authority.

Mr.. Poag.
Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer. -.
Rock HILL, Jan. 1.-THE annual re-
port of the city treasurer shows quite
q considerable deficit. The receipts
amounted to s23,041.51, and the expeAN
ditures to s22,S7ssS, with unpaid bills
amounting to s4,423.6O. 1t Is very EVIL
dent that the city's income is entirely
inadequate to meet its expenditures.
This has been evident for sometime,
but no definite steps have been under
taken to remedy it. There Is a project
"in the air" which has exercised the
minds of many quite considerably re-
Gently. 1t Is the question of general
license ordinances. The councils judg-
ment is that such legislation is abso-
lutely necessary to meet the annual in
debtedness OF the city. Improvements
are held iN allegiance, although much
needed, because the treasury Is insult
f1cient to meet the actual pressing ne
cessities. This phase of the financial
condition will have to be attended to
before long, although hitherto it: has
not received that attention that 1t de-
mands.
The Rev. W. E. Thayer Of the First
Baptist church, has received fiatter-
ing call to the Fulton Avenue Baptist
Church Of Baltimore. Mr.. Thayer Is
very popular, not only with his own
church people. but in the city generally
and his departure will be a decided
loss to the pulpit of the place. He"has

The Rock Hill Telephone company
has been digging up Main street pre-
paratory to laying its line in "cable"
form. The advantage Of the cable Is
universally recognized and In our large
cities the underground system is an
imperative necessity. The work is be-
ing pushed with great rapidity, and
will shortly be accomplished.

WONDER If the time will never come
when the people will be able to see
through this racket of legislatures in
structing". their senator's TO- vote. SO
and so? 1t Is. In our opinion, mostly
humbug. AS a rule senators control
the legislatures, and sL.h "instruc-
tions" usually originate with the sena-
tors themselves. Take the case the
other day when 1t was sought to have
the Democratic senators agree to be
bound by the majority Of the caucus
Some of the senators had already
made their arrangements as to the
pending Panama treaty, and they Sc
cured the adoption Of an agreement
that they should not be longer bound
by caucus after their legislatures
should instruct them otherwise. This
agreement seemed to knock the caucus
entirely out. With such an under
standing it was necessary only for the
senator to have his state legislative
leader to secure the passage Of reso-
luton telling him to do what he had
already bargained to do. There .is
nothing strange or mysterious about
such proceedings except that the peo-
ple are so slow to catch on.

Between Russia: and Japan.
The far: Eastern situation is appar-
emily more critical today than 1t has
been at any time, says a London dis
patch of Wednesday to the Cincin-
natl Enquirer. From Paris alone
comes any news which gives an In
dication of the remotest possibility OF
avoiding war, and in view Of the basis
for the Paris idea little attention Is
paid to the hopeful tenor Of news from
there.
The fact that it is again semi -offic-
tally announced from Tokyo that the
Russian terms are not satisfactory and
have been rejected. is the main basis
for war predictions together with the
news from st. Petersburg that no fur-
ther concessions will be made to the
Asiatic nation
One piece Of news which. gives serl-
GUS concern to the government ana to
diplomats generally is the intimation
that Germany would not view
sweeping Japanese victory with equa-
nimity, and in case Of, defeat 1ol
Russia might have to take action &c
safeguard her interests in China This
is taken to mean that in case OF neces-
sity Germany will go to the assistance
of Russia. The recent utterance oi
Premier Balfour indicates plainly thai
England will stand up to Japan In sc
far: as treaty obligations demand, ano
1t Is strongly felt that England cannon
afford to have Japan beaten. -.
This means the embodiment OF Eu-
rope before the fighting Is over In the
Judgment of diplomats. -.
Baron Hayashi, the japanese minis
ter. to. Great Britain, said today that
he. had communicated to the British
foreign office the action Of Japan In
urging Chinese neutrality. The. min

pear to be a mistake, which he attrib-
uted to mistranslation by the Chinese
officials.

LEGISLATIVE ELECTIONS.
How the Situation Appeared In colun.
bia This Mornina. =


bia This Morning. -:
It Is probable says the Columbia
State of this morning, that the elect
ions for the various places to be filled
by. the legislature will not be held to-
day. The places to be filled are at
tracing number Of applicants end
the lobby Of the legislative halls is a
busy place these days.
The place which Is exciting most in
terest appears to be the position Of
chairman Of the board Of directors Of
the dispensary. Mr.. H. H.. Evans: had
a clear field up to yesterday, but 1t Is
announced that ex-senator McDermott
of, Horny has entered the lists. Such
being the case, the race will be inter-
esting for Mr.. McDermott's friends
claim that he will get 80 votes in the
senate which will give him good start
Tor the ,fihni round up. On the other
hand, MIR. Evans friends are confident
that he will win as he has always had
such a strong personal following.
For the office of commissioner there
are two candidates, Capt. w. D. Black,
bookkeeper at the state penitentiary
and former member Of the house from
Barnwell, and Mr.. w. o. Tatum, a
member Of the house from Orangeburg.
There has been some talk that Mr..
Crum might accept the position II 1t
were given him without his solicitation,
but in a published letter to the mem
bers Of the legislature he declares that
he will not accept under any considera-
ton. 1t was not probable that a $500
Job would be so rendered when others
are after 1t. There are several candi-
dates for the two other places on the
board but the race has taken on no
alfgnments yet.
The election next of interest perhaps
is for the position of state librarian.
Miss I.aBorde, the incumbent, will
stand for reelection and her friends
are very confident Of her success. but
there are others In the field who are
given strong support, among them
Miss Julia Tompkins of this city and
Miss Dacus Of Anderson. Miss Sallie
M. A. Black, who is the author of the
well-known poem, 1.-THE Chimes Of St.
Michael's," IS also an applicant for the
place. -.
There have been no developments
and few incidents in the several cana
pa,gns. the announcement Of Mr.: Nc
T,errnott's candidacy Yesterday being
the only thing of an unusual nature
except that all Of the candidates are
working unusually hard, and there is
an unusually large crowd of persons
from out of town here log-rolfing in
behalf of their favorites.

In our report Of his speech before the
town council last Monday night, Sen
ator Brice was quoted as referring to
H. Fl. Evans as a man utterly disrep-
utable." A private" note from Senator

quoted; that he used no ad1ectives OF

ut occurred the day Of the surrender"
says Mr.. Hunter. II was right there
and sawsit. The story about the late
Capt. Glenn saving the old mans leg
is correct. I can't say knew about
1t until after the war; but have heard
Mr.. Gauldin speak Of 1t many q time.
I am also In doubt as to whether It
was our own surgeons or Yankee sur
geons who were intending to cut his

the matter"
