THE Constitution is not permit

lippine Islands; but scarcely any
thing else is barred. Not a vice
which Christians practice but
may be innoculated into the

THE President dined with the
Hungarian Republican Club OF
New York last Tuesday night, and
the Associated Press account OF
his progress to the clubhouse re-
minds one of the progress OF a
royal retinue. Cordons of police
kept everybody excepting those
holding permits) off the streets
through which he passed. Those
occupying the tenements leading
to the clubhouse were driven in
side and locked in! By what
authority of law this was done is
not stated, but royalty, you know,
over-rides all law, and so to ask
the question, I presume, is i'm
pertinent, if not positively dis
loyal. OF course, the President
made speech, beautiful in its
conception and heavenly in its
conclusions. Hear this altruistic
emanation: "The ideal of ele-
mental justice meted out to every
man is the ideal we should keep
ever before u.s." AS Sam Weller
would say, that is ''werry pretty
but has Mr.. Roosevelt applied il
to the Philippines! Had he it be-
fore him when he assisted-pas-
sively, if not actively-in tho de-
spoilment of a sister Republic in
order that our "business interests
might be subserved? Talk il
cheap, and "pretty" talk costs nj
more than that clothed in sincerity
Ian honester garb, if not so pleas
ing. The s'ideal' which the Presi
dent is so insistent upon when th'
American negro is in question, i
seems to me, ought to radiate t.
the confines of all lands and in
clude all peoples.

The State Fair.

The Chamber of Commerce of Colum-
bia, as has been its custom for years, is
sparing no efforts to make the approach
ing State Fair one of the most successful
in its history.
With cotton at 10c. and wave of pros
perity sweeping the State, it is expected
that the attendance will exceed all folm-
er years. In anticipation of large crowd
the Columbia Street Railway has increas-
cd it's facilities for handling the visitors
by double tracking its line from the Trans
fer Station, or Capitol Square, to the
Union Station, thence belt line circling
the Fair Grounds, which is practically
double track all the way, and will afford
prompt and ample transportation.
In addition to the usual attractions of
the week, the Chamber of Commerce has
engaged the Barkoot Carnival Amuse
ment Company, which, besides band of
its own, has variety of good clean
shows, which will give exhibitions at the
several street corners, along with num-
ber of free attractions. As usual, the
theater management has splendid card
for the week.
Those expecting to visit the Fair, which
begins October oath, and desiring to Sc
cure boarding and sleeping accommoda-
tions, should at once communicate with
Mr.. E. B. Clark, Secretary of the Cham
Der of Commerce, who is now at work
arranging to place and care for every
visitor to the Fair.

The Electric Lights Election.

The election to be held in this city on
Tuesday, October Oath, for the purpose OF
deciding whether the town shall issue
bonds in q sum not to exceed fifteen
thousand dollars, at an annual interest
rate of not more than six per cent, the
bonds to run for forty years, is a most
important one. At this election board
of public works is also to be elected, COM
posed of three men. The selection of this
board is a very important matter, for
they will have entire charge of the float
ing of the bonds and erecting and run
ming the plant. 1t is essential that sale
business men be elected, those who will
take an interest in the business and look
closely after it. Any business to succeed
must be closely watched, so our people
had best be very careful as to who they
elect as board of public works.
We believe it will be we'll for the town
to own the electric light plant. We have
always favored municipal ownership OF
both water and light plants, for We be-
lieve if a private concern can make
money out of these things, surely the
town ought to. Then we believe our cit
izens will get better service and lower
rates. But the plant must be managed in
business like way. Properly managed
the town ought to make the plant pay all
expenses and get the street lights practi-
cally free, but this cannot be done until
the private lights are considerable. OF
course this could not be done as soon as
the plant is erected, but at the end of two
years the plant should be making money.

Cufrant Seeds Thrown From Kitchen
Produce Strange Berries.
. Mrs. F. NJ. Roll, q Sault Ste. Marie
CMich.) woman, purchased some COM
mon red currants at a grocery store
and after making the fruit into pulp
and sraining out the seeds threw the
latter from her kitchen window into
the back yard, says Sault Ste. Marie
dispatch. From these seeds sprang up
four or FIVE shrubs, which were pre-
served and cultivated In the garden
along with other currant bushes. Thy
grew rapidly, and twice this year they
have borne fruit. The shrub is e-s much
a vine as a bush, while the fruit Is un-
like anything ever seen at Sault ste
Marie before.
It grows on stems, like a currant,
and when immature Is Of greenish
cast. During the process Of ripening 1t
becomes red, at which stage its taste Is
bitter. with q favor much like that Of
the cranberry. When fully ripened the
fruit resembled black cherry and in
size is about midway between large
currant and a gooseberry. It's flavor
then Is delicious. It has not the odor
nor taste Of the black currant nor does
it have the flavor Of any Of the currant
family.
Some Of the berries as well as the
vines have been sent to Leo NJ. Gels
mar, In charge Of the upper peninsula
agricultural experimental station, who
has not yet determined exactly what
the fruit is, but will soon render an
opinion. An advance or preliminary
decision subject to change or confirma-
ton is that the fruit is new hybrid
and q valuable horticultural product.

It is one Of the remarkable features
Of Japanese development that even
while the recent war was In progress
the commercial promotion Of Korea BY
Japan not only never waned, but It
even increased. The year 1904 was
one Of the best in Korea's history. The
war helped rather than hindered trade,
the commercial highways being held
open. Cereals yielded large crops and
sold high, both Japan and Russia buy
ing. Labor was abundantly supplied
with work at good wages. Much Of
this had to do with the movement OF
troops. This brought in millions OF
dollars Of unexpected and unusual
money. It is interesting to note that
the Koreans never had 50 much money
to spend and that they spent 1t freely;
hence any improvement In Korea or
in the east Is bound to be followed by
advantages to foreign trade. One dis
advantage, due doubtless to the war
and partly to the increased wages, was
the increased cost Of living. This ad-
1anced so per cent and in some cases
fully 100 per cent.
Railroads were built In many parts
at about $4,000 q mile, fully $a,oo0-
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1905-10-12

600 being expendsd thereon The gross
value Of the foreign trade was little
more than 92a,617,4S7, Of which $13,-
7o1 ,206 was for imports from abroad.
The exports reached $3,466, 7o2. The
rest are set over against movements In
foreign goods in and out Of Corean
ports In transit, etc. Railroad material
for more than $2,81649 was entered.
The best array Of the years figures
leaves a large balance in favor Of for
eiRn lands and an adverse one against
Korea. The mining Of gold goes on
apace, although a good deal Of it, need
ed at home to help the banks and legit-
innate business interests, goes abroad as
bullion. Last years gold exports were
S22S,5OO less than those Of the year
previous-not a bad sign II 1t does not
indicate q decreased output Of the
mines.
A large part Of the banking business
IS in the hands Of japanese and Is
tending more and more toward COM
plete absorption By them. Every
where progress and prosperity are
marching hand IN hand Natural hin
drances to trade are being overcome
By scientific methods worthy Of the
west or BY expedients worthy Of the
east. For example, the shallowness Of
the river at :Chemulpo long hindered
the arrival Of large vessels- This is to
be obviated by running rails over
bridges to two islands near deep water.
The work Is being done by the Japa-
nese. Trains are to run from the main
land alongside Of steamers docked ON
the deep water side Of the Islands.
Rocks have been blasted, piers, docks,
wharves, ETC., built at great cost, but
it IS believed that the increase Of bust
ness expected will more than make up
for any probable expenditures.
The latest population figures give
Korea 100000 people, including Ham
Keung, a province in the north, under
Russia before the war. Seoul, the cap
ital, has 100000 and is constantly in
creasing. There are already 10000
japanese in the kingdom.
