EUROPEAN spinners are very much
concerned at the action of the South
ern Cotton association In declaring for
IL cents cotton, and they have about
agreed to meet this development with
an arrangement whereby they will close
their mills until prices drop. If the
European spinners carry out their pur-
pose to close down the cotton produc-
ers need not be hurt. They have only
to hold the faster to their cotton. The
closing down of the European spin
ming mills will necessarily increase the
price Of yarns. and an increased price
for yarns will make a i increased price
for cotton. II the farmers will only
hold steady they are reasonably GER
tain Of getting their price, and If they
win out with this crop, they Will nave
a right to ask for higher figures In the
case Of the next crop.

TO SUPPRESS ROBBERS.

The postoffice department Is now
directing its energies to the suppress
sion of all mail robberies, whether
these depredations be the work of
yeggmen In blowing safes in post
office, or the act Of purloining a letter
or small package from a box.
The department has drafted formal
order, setting forth a system OF re-
wards to be paid for the detection and
conviction of parties who rob the mail,
which appears in the Postal Guide for
this month, and by advertisement OF
the fact, Postmaster General Cortelyou
hopes to stir up sufficient interest
which will result in the arrest and con-
yiction of the guilty parties.
There have been a number OF post
office mail car robberies In South Car
olina during the past few years, al
though a check has been placed on the
industry by the arrest and conviction
of thirteen yeggmen In the past three
wears. and the sending of other robbers
of the mails to the Federal penitentiary
at Atlanta. The new system OF rewards
will stimulate detectives and others In

SENATOR Tillman now states that
John Bell Towill. of the state board
of dispensary directors, Is an honest
man. This was at Towill's home. We
are not able to make any assertion
to the contrary; but people who
heard the senator at Tirzah refer to
the entire board as being composed
of scoundrels will be at a loss to
know how to reconcile his retraction.
However, 1t must be confessed that
has always been Tillman's way. He
would make charges at one place
and take them back at another. AS
to whether the charges were true
was a matter Of little concern to him
so long as they seemed to serve his
immediate purposes.

SOME Of the forlorn hope papers
those which are determined to defend
the dispensary to the last ditch, are
printing stories to the effect that since
the voting out Of the dispensaries In
Cherokee, Pickens. Newberry and Un-
ion, the people Of those counties are
buying immense quantities Of liquor
from Columbia and other convenient
dispensary towns. One dispenser Is
quoted as kicking on the ground that
he does not want to conduct a mail
order business" etc. While we do not
profess to have absolute information
on the subject we are free to say that
in our opinion this whole business Is
fake. We don't believe that any dis
pensary has experienced a noticeable
increase In it's business because OF the
voting out Of other dispensaries, and
here Is the reason. While 1t Is fact
that any dispensary would do more or
less business among certain class OF
people no matter what quality Of liquor
II might sell, II Is also fact that
dispensary whisky generally, Is so no
toriously impure and inferior that but
few people belonging to the class that
might otherwise send mail orders,
would ever send such orders to dis
pensaries. They would send their or
ders to such dealers as they consider
most reliable outside Of the state.
Among local people who are able to
have what they want in the way of al
coholic liquors there are few who pa
tronize the dispensary. They send
abroad and the reason they give Is
that they can get better whisky at
lower price.

INFORMATION comes from Lancaster
to the effect that the three papers OF
that town, the Ledger. Review and En-
terprise are to go out Of existence and
be succeeded by another paper which
Is to make its appearance next week
The new paper is to be an eight page
semi-weekly, and is to be called the
News. This arrangement. as we un-
derstand it has been brought about by
long established conviction on the
part Of the Lancaster public that one
good newspaper would be or more
value to the town and community than
three sorry ones. Tine respective edi-
tors Of the Ledger, Review and Enter
prise are all good newspaper men; but
II Is a fact that their papers were lack
ing in many essential requirements,
not so much through the shortcoming
Of any one of these gentlemen as
through the manifest impossibility OF
receiving support for three papers In
a territory where there is hardly room
for one AS things have been going,
each of the three papers have had
about equal circulation. and largely
among the same people. Under condi-
tions where they had to send their pa
pers without authority in order to get
them circulated at ALL it has been next
to impossible to collect even fair per
centage of the subscriptions. On the
other hand, business people realizing

ished. Explaining the probable sig
nificance of the outrage he said:
There are two parties in China, the
New Reform party. which is desirous
OF having the people and govern
ment profit by the adoption Of what
ever is found good in occidental
civilization and methods, and the
party that you call anarchists in this
country. The leaders Of the latter
are really devoid Of any principles;
envy and jealousy are the main
springs that actuate their every
move. Like your president-killing
anarchists. they merely seek to de-
stroy. The late action In regard to
the sending abroad OF missionaries
to study foreign political methods
has especially angered them"

BECAUSE the demand has been
greater than was expected our extra
supply of papers containing the early
installments Of Ellen. Campbell has
been exhausted. This is especially
regrettable because Of what seems to
be a constantly increasing demand
for back numbers. We will be glad
to buy back as many as a dozen COM

that an advertisement in one accom-
plished practically the same result as
the same advertisement In all three,
very naturally declined to use all three
except on a basis that would afford
only a fairly reasonable rate for one.
The new arrangement, as long as 1t
stands, will no doubt be a relief not
only to the general public; but espe-
cially to business circles. However, we
shall be surprised II this consolidation
affords permanent remedy to the sit
uation. No matter how thoroughly any
newspaper may fill its field, there Will
always be those who will think they
can do better, and Lancaster Is not
going to be an exception.

VERDICT OF THE PEOPLE.

The Brice law election held through
out York county today resulted In the
voting out of the dispensary by the
largest majority that has yet been re-
corded in any Of the counties. The dis
pensary received a majority at only
one precinct and that was Tirzah. The
complete returns with the exception OF
Piedmont precinct are given below.
The telephone line to Piedmont Is
down, and to send special messenger
to that place does not seem worth the
delayi that would be occasloned:

THE Columbia crusade against gamb-
