SENATOR Tillman's announcement
that II the dispensary Is voted out he
will work for prohibition has caused
a cold chill in some quarters.-Ander-
son Daily Mail.
There Is 10 chill over this way. We
are only hopeful that Senator Tillman
means what he says, for we are conf
dent that IL he will work as earnestly
on the right side of this question as he
has worked on the wrong side Of 1t, 1t
can be demonstrated that prohibition
will prohibit.

THE CRATER is really more cowardly
than the thief. Whether the thief
operates as highwayman, burglar,
forger or sneak, he takes some risk OF
getting punished. AS a rule the graft
er lays himself liable only to such pen
alties as can be inflicted by public
opinion. 1t is necessary therefore that
public opinion come down especially
heavy on the CRATER.

as the principal cause of the hitch in
the negotiations; but there is reason
to believe that this is not so much
the real trouble as the general reluct-
ance on the part Of Russia to acknowl-
edge that she has been conquered. 1t
far from satisfied.
The recent interview between EN-
peror William and Car Nicholas on
the Baltic sea Is also believed to have
something to do with the situation.
Previous to that interview. there was
reason to believe that Russia was sat-
isfied that she had plenty and that
she was ready TO quit; but since then,
the Russians have been very positive
in their announced determination not
to pay indemnity.
A Washington correspondent who Is
often very close to the true inwardness
of big diplomatic mysteries. has Offer
ed what seems to be a reasonably
plausible explanation Of the whole Sit
uation. He says. Emperor William Is
responsible for the Russian change of
attitude, and the secret lies in what
the German emperor considers the VI
tai interests of his own empire.
1t has been understood all the while
that Great Britain has been closely al
lied with Japan in the struggle against
Russia. The British have done no ac-
tual fighting; but they have given un-
told assistance, and they are backing
Japan now in all her demands. If
Russia accedes to Japan's terms, 1t will
mean that practically all Of China will
be closed to Russia, and Germany, es-
pecially, and Germany Is not disposed
to consent to such an arrangement IL
she can help 1t. This, 1t Is believed, Is
the reason why Russia has changed
her attitude as to peace; but just
what Germany is to do in case the
war Is renewed remains to be seen.
There Is good reason to believe that
II the present conference does not re-
suit in peace, the war will develop In
20 much larger proportions before 1t
is ended and involve other powers.

THE issue in q land suit that Is to
go up to the supreme court from this
county soon Is whether a perfect legal
title takes precedence over a perfect
equitable title. Assuming that the
facts are actually as suggested there is
room for much curiosity as to how the
supreme court will settle the matter.

Very much interest is being shown
by the farmers and merchants Of this

warehouse and there Is very little
doubt but that the movement will be
pushed through. This will be a great
thing for the farmers of the south and

their cotton for a better price and also
they can borrow money on the stored
cotton.

Rev. A. A. JAMEs.-The Rev. A. A.
James, a Presbyterian minister who
once lived near Jonesville, but now
lives at Pacolet, was born In York
county eighty-one years ago, gradu-
ated at Davidson College, n. c., In the
year 1848, then attended and gradua-
ted from the Presbyterian seminary
In Columbia, preached his first sermon
at Fair Forest church the third Sun
day in July, 1851, taking for his text
Romans 5th and 10th, and he has
been the only pastor Of this Fair For
est church ever since. He served as
chaplain Of the 18th s. c. volunteers
throughout the late war. He came
home on a few occasions and admin
istered the sacrament, and attended
other pastoral duties during the war
In the year 1859 Grindall church was
built four or five miles from Jones'
vile, and Mr.. James has been the
only pastor this church has ever had,
Pacolet some twelve or fifteen years
since and one was built at Jonesville
ten or twelve years since, and
these two churches have both been
served by the Rev. Mr.. James during
the whole of their existence. Mr..
James has married SIS couples and
has buried equally as many dead; has
preached more than six thousand SER
mons; has baptized and received
great many into the church. and has
preached to the Confederate soldiers
in camp in nearly all the southern
states. He has attended most Of the
presbyteries, synods and general as
semblies of his church. He breaches
ten times each month and drives to
all his appointments, which Is about
twenty miles every Sunday. Mr..
James attends most Of the Confeder-
ate Veterans reunions and enjoys
them very much. He breaches annu.
al sermons to some of the veterans
camps and makes speeches on Memo
rial Days and other occasions, and al
though he has passed his eighty-nrst
mile post he is still active and vigor-
Gus and well preserved, and always
breaches a good sermon.-Jonesville

WILSON MUST GO.
Secretary Of Agriculture Not Dishon.
est; But Incompetent.


A we'll known and prominent cotton
mill man and banker Of Spartanburg,
who has been spending several days
In Washington, Is authority for the
statement that the official days Of Sec
retary Of Agriculture Wilson are num-
bered, says w. w. Price, the Washing
ton correspondent Of the Columbia
Record, and that at the proper time
such great influence will be brought to
bear on the president for his removal
that he cannot remain.
Discussing this matter today, this
man said: "As the foundation Of the
farmers prosperity and wealth depends
to some extent on the secretary OF
agriculture and his reports, 1t Is time
that this great interest was being bet
ter looked after than at present. /
think the farmers have suffered more
and borne their sufferings more patient
ly than any other class Of people /
have ever known. Others have been
treated badly and, on making known
their complaints, have generally been
helped but the farmers who have suf-
fered so much through the gross ir-
regularities and carelessness Of the de-
partment Of agriculture have not been
helped In the least and have had to
suffer as the result.
Il am not d IdTIIl6T III TIE ScIlSc lIidl
actually handle a hoe and plow,
though l have done 1t, but my inter-
ests are largely along that line, and,
having suffered through Secretary
Wilson, have no hesitancy In ex-
pressing my opinion Of the methods
employed In the department Of agri-
culture.
while 1 think everybody believes
Mr.. Wilson to be honest, still there Is
no doubt of the fact that he has been
imposed upon by scheming rascals who
have gotten rich Off the farmers Of the
country. 1t makes little difference
whether these people have suffered
through the wilful acts Of the secretary
or through his carelessness, the result
Is the same, and you know that recent
developments show that he Is utterly
incapable Of managing a big thing like
the department Of agriculture. That
place demands at its head man who
Is not only honest himself, but who can
tell an honest man from a dishonest
one when he sees him.
You may put 1t down as fact that
cotton growers Of the south are thor
oughly In earnest In their endeavor to
have a change made In the office or
secretary Of agriculture. When man
knows that his services have not been
satisfactory to the people, he ought,
without any loss Of time, to step down
and out and let some other person
take his place. This has not been the
case, however, with Mr.. Wilson. He
has continued to hold on In spite OF
the fact that people all over the coun-
try have been clamoring for his re-
moVal.
"As I have already said, the time
Is hardly opportune yet for concerted
effort along the line have mentioned.
but / will say that In a very short
while Mr. wilson will be asked to re-
sign in such a way that he can hardly
hold on any longer. The people Of the
country, especially the cotton growers,
are tired Of the way things have been
going on and a change will be hap
PLY received by them"
