Solicitor T. S. Sease.

'*The percentage OF acquitted in
the entire circuit as shown by the
report is a little over II per cent
"Solicitor Sease is serving his
third term as the states prosecuting
officer for the district. During this
period he has been fearless and i'm
partial and has never placated or
compromised crime and has been
active and vigorous in giving his
talent and powers to Furnishing the
guilty.
His record for the year is one
that any solicitor could we'll be
proud of. The percentage OF &C
quittals dwindles down to IL per
cent. Mr.. Sease's name has been
frequently suggested by his friends
for the Office of attorney general.
1t would be a fitting testimony to
his active and<henorable service to
the state to attaih this prize, and
those who know Tom Sease feel
that should he be so honored by the
people of South Carolina he would
ably and acceptably fill the high and
important post"
The above is from the Spartan
burg Herald. The friends of Sollcl-
tor Sease in this his native county
are sure will be glad to note the
success he has attained. He is a
good clever fellow in addition to his
success as a prosecuting officer.
In case he should enter arena OF
State politics he will have many
friends in this county who will
gladly give him hearty support.

superinterded the work on the
building in person, and did a good
deal of the work with his own
hands. The new building which
has been finished and furnished,
and was reopened for service on
the 3rd of December, cost about
$4,000 complete. 1t is due
largely to the wise judgment and
good management of Mr.. Graves
that the property was rebuilt at SO
small a figure. It is worth fully
$4,000 and contractors who have
seen the building, have said that
they would not put it up for less
than $1,000.

O'Neall Street Methodist church
was built by Rev. J. w. Speake in
1898. Mr.. Speake served the pas
torate acceptably for two years.
His predecessor, and the first regu-

The old building and furniture
were valued at $4,000, and it
was very neat wooden building.
The building and contents were de-
stroyed by fire on February 6, 1905.
The day following the fire, the pas

he was sent to 0Nean Street
Methodist church, where he has
done faithful and efficient work be-

by his own congregation, but by the

THE RECORDS NOT THERE.
Secretary of State Can't Before the Com
mitteee

Columbia, December o.-As soon
as Secretary of State CAN'T heard
that he was wanted by the legisla-
tive committee to give his statement
regarding the missing cash and re-
ceipt books of Mr.. Cooper's admin
istration he presented himself. The
committee examined Mr.. CAN'T and
Mr.. D. H. Means, clerk of the
Sinking Fund commission.
The evidence will be submitted to
the general assembly to show why
the committee did not feel warrant
ed in making an investigation OF
the books of the time involved as it
did not feel that it could do so with
certain books containing records OF
transactions missing.
The books were not found and
the evidence taken before the spe-
cial committee threw no light on
the whereabouts of the desired rec
ords, neither is there any conclusive
evidence that the records in ques-
ton were destroyed in the 1904 fire
in the office of the secretary of state.
One of the cash books in particu-
lar the committee had in its posses
sion for a few days, but this spe-
cial book may have escaped the fire
entirely.

TO KEEP DISPENSARIES OPEN.
Supreme Court Refuses to Close them In
Two Counties in which the People
Have Voted them Out.

Columbia, December o.-There
were two pop calls made today IN
the state supreme court relative to
the fight that is being made on the
Brice act. It will be remembered
that all of the cases involving the
validity of the Brice act have been
assigned for hearing on January 8.
Under the preliminary order the
authorities were ordered to keep
the Greenville and Spartanburg dis
pensaries open until after the return
had been made. The day for the re-
turn was earlier than the new date
set for the hearing-January 8.
twas on this condition of affairs
that there was hearing before the
supreme court today in the cases of
Murphy VS.: Landrun and Cox VS..
Hodges: ....... $685.. ...
, The state board of canvassers has
declared the election against the
dispensary; the result of the elec-
ton has been communicated to the
state commissioner. The supre.
court has not directed that the dis
pensaries in Greenville and Spar
tanburg: counties be kept open arl-
Ill january 8, and it was to deter
mine, this question that the court
had a hearing Of the matter today.
Commissioner Tatum does not
wish to ship liquor to these couri-
ties and involve his bond, and the
only authority that now keeps the
dispensaries open in Greenville and
Spartanburg is the supreme court.
Circuit judges in the Union and
other cases have declined to keep
the dispensaries open after the vote
had been declared and canvassed.
The supreme court this morning
heard argument as to whether or
not the second paragraph of the
outstanding order should be re-,
voked or not.
The court is anxious not to indi-
cate any preference or to anticipate
any decision and has taken the mat
ter under advisement.
The dispensaries in Greenville and
Spartanburg are now open.
The dispensa1ies were ordered
kept open as this announcement of
the court indica,es:

At the suggestion Of the court,
counsel for the petitione- appeared
with vie1s to consider the proprie-
ty of amending the order of injunc-
ton heretofore granted by the
Chief Justice by striking out so
much of the order as provides for
a temporary injunction pending the
hearing of the case. Upon full con-
sideration the court is of the opin-
ion that the order should remain as
heretofore granted until the hear
ing of the case assigned for Jam

The Peace Envoys.

It is something to the good that the Jap
anese and the Russian ENJOYS are person.
ally acquainted and esteem each other
highly. Baron Komura while serving at ST.
Petersburg met NJ. Witte. and Baron Rosen
while serving at Tokyo met Baron Komura
Mr.. Sato of the Japanese party said in New
York that In Japan NJ. White was regarded
as great statesman, and Baron Rosen. 1t
is generally known. was very popular dur
ing his stay at the japanese capital The
introductions therefore which will take
place at Oyster Bay will be merely official
and a matter of form.
Neither NJ. White nor Baron Rosen
favored the war. They were too familiar
with the eastern situation, and with the
schemes OF the men at home who were
tiouting Japan. not to know the perils of
conflict Baron Rosen was probably the
best Informed Russian in office as to the
preparedness of Japan for an armed strug-
gle even against great power like Russia
But their views and advice went for moth
ing. and now they are chosen to settle
bill made in defiance OF their counseIs
This however will not show In the
vigilance and energy with which they will
guard their COuntry's interests at Ports
mouth NJ White in the interview he gave
"
Petersburg referred TO the matter The
war he said, had created a new situation
and II this situation that must now
be met. He and Baron Rosen, we may be
sure. will watch the corners as closely and
make as good bargain as though they had
advocated the war and were now seeking
by the terms of peace to rehabilitate them
selves at home. They are holding neither
an I-told-you-sO tone toward their own
cOuntrymen, nor a peace-at-any-price tone
toward the japanese
Still, already stated. IT is important
that the peace ENJOYS are personally ac-
Quainted with each other. and that express
slons go TO show that they will meet with
high respect for each other They have
task on hand much more difficult than any
they have ever tackled. and IT Will draw
heavily upon their diplomacy their expert
ence and their patriotism. And the whole

pride themselves on the superiority Of their
system this allegation is quite likely to be
made.
The great trouble. In America and else
where. is that there Is too much hustle and
too little thought for the penalty. At an
appallingly rapid rate the margin of safety
is being cut down everywhere. Congestion
and hurry are working a deadly combina-
ton. and 1t matters not whether the place
be England or New York or Illinois the
District of Columbia, every attempt to vio-
late the rule of physics that two bodies can
not occupy the same space at the same time
is certain to result disastrously.
Is the world growing careless in its new
civilization. which has harnessed the forces
of electricity In order to stretch the
day and spread mans activities over the
whole of the earth's surface? There are
many signs that the old standards of value
are being destroyed. the value of life with
others. And here Is token that even staid
old England. the model of the leisurely and
the conservative is acquiring the pace that

Ex-Barkeepers and Office.

Mr.. Jerome is a droll fellow Fresh from
a western lecture trip. where he Jared the
good people by his attitude on certain
questions. he now jars his own people by
Directing to an ex-barkeeper for appoint
nient as clerk of local court. The man
is a protege of Charles F. Murphy, and Mr..
Murphy is pushing him for the place. Sure
ly Mr.. Jerome forgets, or Is too discrimi-
mating. Mr.. Murphy is an ex-barkeeper
himself, and If an ex-barkeeper may pre-
side over the destinies of the whole town.
may not another ex-barkeeper act as clerk
of little court? And there is T. d Sulli-
van. He Is an ex-barkeeper. and as

laws for the country. In fact there are
times IN New York when the government

keepers. In the sign of the gin mill Tam

PloW Pit Dangers.

The coroner's jury in the case of the pit
man who was killed by a street car yester-
day morning seemed TO have no other pos
sible course today but to render a verdict
OF accidental death" There was ample
evidence that the unfortunate victim of the
accident had failed 10 observe the common
precautions and that he lost his life in con-
sequence of his own carelessness.
These pillow pits are necessarily dangerous
places. The man at work there must run
risk Of being shocked by electricity and
crushed by the car. He must handle
switches at close range TO the conductors.
and he must expose his head and body to
the trucks of the car above him. There
are certain actions which are inevitably
fatal. and certain precautions which are
absolutely necessary. and yet there are rec
ords OF several cases OF such accidents
serving to show that the most careful men
will grow indifferent to their dangers and
unthinkingiy omit the precautions that
serve for the saving of their lives or de-
liberately commit some act of folly which
results in a tragedy.
There u no cure for such conditions The

Our Trade With China.

The statistics presented by The Star yes
terday showing what we sell to and buy OF
China are Interesting at this time when
boycotts and rumors of boycotts are under
discussion. And they are as interesting to
China as to us When examined N :he
light of business principles and possibhi-
ties they are well calculated to alIay any
uneasiness that may be felt in this country
as to Chlna's course toward Americ an
goods. and to warn China that she by no
means holds the whip hand. In a game of
freeze-out we should hold some cards OF
value ourselves. or. let say. those who
draw the boycott sometimes perish by the
boycott.
This trade between the United States and
China has been brought to the present fig
ures by the application of business prin-
cipIes Our laws excluding coolies have
not until now operated at all to the injury
Of our merchants. What We offered In
Chinese markets was examined upon It's
merits, and when desired was accepted
solely on a money valuation. The people
knew how we felt on the subject OF coolie
labor. what we had done to keep 1t out of
this country, and they attempted no bar
gain for the repeal modification OF the
exclusion laws. Had such threa: as Is
now made been made at the time Congress
was dealing with the subject the result
would probably have been the enactment
of measures more rigid than those already
framed. 1t Is not possible TO conceive of
a Congress that. for trade. or for anything,
would fill this country with the scum of
China
Now the proposition Is presented. Your
money or your life. or. the pigtailed
gentleman puts 1t, your life or your money.
Either we must open our doors TO the
coolies and allow the stream of our ma
tional life to be fouled by their presence
and practices. or we must part with our
Chinese trade.
The Star has held. and still holds, that
this matter Is largely bluff 1t is curl
Gus. however. are many others. to know
whether the maneuver originated in this
country and has WI Ting-fang for its Chi
nese manager, or Is the work of Mr. WI
and has citizens of this country for Amer

ton might develop the facts. If Americans
are at the bottom OF 1t the country would

Bargain Sales and the Police.

From TIE New York World.
Professional humorists will find fresh
occasion to rewrite old jokes about the
Pfttsburg bargain sale where eight women
were hurt in the rush to buy cheap shirts
and oVeralls. The police have gone so far
as to say that they Will issue an order
against ADVERTISING bargain-day sales.
They have more important duties. If
women choose to submit to the discomforts
of a crowd in order to buy where they can
buy cheapest that is their affair. 1t is no
popularity of their sex. Dignified and
self-respecting brokers pull and haul and
hammer one another on the floor of the
stock exchange when there is a fractional
rise or fall in the market. They may be-
have like madmen, but the police have
never undertaken to suppress the stock ex-
