ONDON, Aug. 25.-The Associated
Press has good reason for stating
that a new AngiO-Japanese treaty
of alliance may have been signed. The
foreign office declines to give official
confirmation or denial, but the Asso-

treaty was signed some days ago.
There is no reason why it should not
be signed prior TO the conclusions of
the Portsmouth conference. as the ac-
ton of that conference. will not affect

Hon. B. R. Tillman, Trenton, S. G.
Dear Sir:
You have probably seen from the
columns of the papers that we are in
the midst of an anti-dispensary move
rnent in Newberry. l believe that the
majority OF the agitators OF said
movement are actuated by pure mo-
tiyes, and have only what they con-
ceive TO be the best interests Of the
county at heart. During the discus
sion relative to such movement, you
have been frequently referred to in
such a way as to cause your friends
to desire an expression of opinion
from you in regard to the following
points:
1s1. Have you lost faith in the dis
pensary system? and do you consld-
er it so inherently defective that it
can not be purged Of corruption and
made to serve its original purpose:
end. What would you advise those
who have been friends of the dispen-
sary, but who in the present emerg-
ency might entertain some doubt as
to their duty:
3rd. Is the statement which IS 60
ing the rounds of the papers that you
are likely to enter a campaign in ia
vor oi prohibition correct. Or merely
baseless fabric:
4t,7. In the event that the dlspen-
sary is voted out in a majority OF the
counties. what in your opinion would
be the result:
You will greatly oblige your friends
in Newberry by replying at your
earliest convenience with permission
for publication.
Very respectfully,

experienced some difficulty in raising
the night latch. After considerable
fumbling he succeeded in opening the
door, stole stealthily upstairs, slid
into the room, where his wife, with
the light turned low, was apparent

He disrobed very carefully, crept
into bed without disturbing his part
