DIsPENsARY OR PROHIBITION.
Will the Supreme Court Give the Gen
eraI Assembly a Timely Hint.


All that is now wanted and that is
expected Is a two-line decision from
the state supreme court dismissing the
injunctions or perpetuating them when
the dispensary cases are heard by the
court in January, writes August Kohn
to the News and Courier. The general
assembly will meet on the day follow
ing the argument before the court, and
there Is a universal desire on the part
Of the law-makrs to know what the
court Is going to do, and after these
many months of delay the people and
the law w-makers are entitled to at least
few lines as to what the decision is
to be on the constitutionality of the
Brice act. There has been good deal
said about the delay Of the court. The
Greenwood News and View had quite
a peppery editorial on the subject. -.
It Is to be said that the attorneys In
the case made the agreement looking to
a postponement and it would perhaps
have been rather difficult for the court
to have forced hearing on Dec. 4.
The order Of the court keeping the
dispensaries in Greenville and Spar
tanburg open, was something of sur
prise Associate Justice Gary dissented
from the majority Of the court, and his
view was in accord with his previous
opinion with regard to the Union dis
pensary. At the time that Union voted
the dispensary out of the county a
movement was made to keep the dis
pensary there open pending the ppeal
to the supreme court. Judge Townsend
refused to keep the dispensary open
pending the appeal, then an effort was
made to get such an order from Mr..
Justice Gary, and he then decided:
"An order staying his order would
have no practical effect unless 1t should
be construed as authorizing the dispen-
saries to be kept open and that would
change the status quo. / am unwilling
to grant an order which could only
make the effect of enabling the dispen-
saries to be kept open in seeming vio-
lation Of law. or course, this order Is
not Intended in any manner to preju-
dice the merits Of the appeal It is,
therefore ordered that the application
he refused"
This order was signed early in Sep
tember.
In the Greenville and Spartanburg
cases, however, the dispensaries were
kept open on the temporary order Of
Chief Justice Pope, and there the sta
tus quo has been maintained. although
the system has been voted out Of these
counties.

SECRETARY Wilson has come in fol
a considerable amount Of criticism or
account of the recent crop estimate ir
which he put the probable yield of cot
ton at 10,167,S1S bales, when he should
have made it 9,659,427 bales, differ
ence of about 100000 pounds in favor
Of the bears. The only difference in the
figures, the secretary has since blandly
explained is imaginary, the number OF
pounds being the same either way. He
tells us what everybody has all along
known that the census department has
been accustomed the use Of Ats pounds
as the standard for a bale Of cotton
while his department has used SOC
pounds as the standard. The differ
e:ce has arisen out Of the fact that the
agricultural department referred tc
gross weight and the census depart
ment subtracted bagging, ties, etc.
leaving the net weight. He explain:
that he decided to make his unit uni
form with that of the census depart
ment, and that is all there was of 1t
But that is not all there was of 1t
Every speculator in the land knows
what a difference 100000 bales is CAL
culated to make in crop estimate and
unless he is a fool, which we do moi
believe, Secretary Wilson understands
that difference as we'll as anybody. He
knows also that when the estimate is
bulletined on the New York Exchange
prices are affected by the writing OF
each figure. The writing Of a Il fol
ten million bales affects prices almost
before the writer can put down the
next figure, and whether the frs
figure, is a Il" or makes 6
tremendous difference. We are sure
that Mr.. Wilson knows that
There could have been no objection
to his change If he had announced
it even five minutes beforehand. He
could have done that. The report die
not come out on time. Instead there
came an announcement that it would
be along later. At that time the secre-
tary might have added that the esti-
mate would be in "47S" pound bales
and maybe it would not have been quite
so bad. But no, he did not do this. He
gave the estimate on a basis of the
larger number of bales, and let the bear:
have full advantage of it. We are not
disposed to accept his explanation. We
hn 60 hllt oC
to whether or not he is a knave, we
have for some time past entertained
very grave doubts.

NEXT YEARS ACREAGE.

President Harvie Jordan, Of the
Southern Cotton Association, has Is
sued a circular letter to the farmers OF
the south regarding a reduction ir
cotton acreage in 1906. The letter says
in part:
"The Southern Cotton association
will not ask the farmers of the south
to reduce the cotton acreage for 1906
less than that planted in 1905. The
association does ask, and insists with
all the force at its command, however
that the acreage planted in cotton
throughout the belt in 1905 be not in
creased during the planting season OF
1906. Let the watchword Of every

TUESDAY, DECEMBER u, 1905,

If Secretary Wilson had another re-
port to give out and it suited his pur-
poses to make the crop appear larger
instead of smaller, he would probably
change back to the old custom of using
gross instead of net weights. We feel
not a little reluctance in making sug-
gestions of this kind, because we do not
like the idea of making an unjust re-
Election on anybody; but in view OF the
numerous manifestly suspicious acts OF
the agricultural department, we find II
impossible to maintain faith in its in
tegrity

YORK COUNTY COTTON GROWERS

Owing to the inclemency OF the
weather, no doubt, the attendance or
the annual convention Of the York
County Southern Cotton association las
Saturday was small; but 1t Is no exag-
geration to say that the meeting easily
made up in enthusiasm what 1t lacked
in numbers.
The townships were represented as
follows:
Bethel-No representation.
Bethesda-W. E. Sanders, s. w
Garrison, James w. Moore.
Broad River-Mason Wilkerson, K
NJ. Whitesides.
Bullock's Creek-John L. Rainey s
L. Davidson.
Ebenezer-J. @. Howe.
Fort Mill-Not represented.
Kings Mountain-D. M. Hall, w. L.
Evans, E. G.. Pursley.
York-John A. Latta, John f. Cor
don, R. E. Mcfarland.
The first business in order was the
work of reorganization and this was
accomplished by the unanimous re-
election of the former executive officers
as follows:
c. E. Spencer, president.
John F. Gordon, vice president
James NJ. Starr, secretary and treas
urer.
The executive committee was made

There was a call for reports from
the townships as to the number or
bales of cotton pledged to be held on
the market, and this call developed that
in the five townships so far heard from
the number aggregates 3,093 bales.
There were no definite reports from the
other four townships; but the UNDER
standing Is that when the pledges that
are in circulation in them are In, the
number will be considerably increased.
Mr.. James NJ. Starr, the secretary
and treasurer reported that up to this
time five townships had made returns
of collections of the cents per bale
assessment. and these returns aggre-
gated s1S4.74. He went on to say that
the canvass had not been completed IN
the townships indicated, and that he
expected reports from the other town
ships.
President Spencer made a brief talk
in which he urged the need Of money
with which to carry on the work OF
the association, and expressed the hope
that York county would pay its assess
ment in full. York county's pro rata
share of the state assessment Is $500,

shown Every Attention.

Mir. W. NJ. Whittenton, district super 'ntendent, Mir. J. E. Bell, travelling freight agent, and Mir. H. c. Clark, division en. gineer, of the Rock Island, with headquar- ters in Little Rock, were In the city Thurs fay ot last week to locate a arge planeing null and other woodworking plant for the q. W. Jones Lumber Company, of Apple ton, Wisconsin.
 Hon. Walter German, mayor of the city, was apprised by long distance phone or their coming, met them at the depot, and extended them every courtesy befttlng the importance of their visit He accom- panied them in their search for location, and gave them all information requested or which suggested itself in furtherance Of their plans, and left nothing undone which might encourage the enterprise. As result of his able and careful chaperon- age, we are informed by Mir. Enger, the local agent, that site was selected near and west of the oil mill, and Mr. G. V. Nash, locater for the Lumber Company, arrived here yesterday, He has several large deals for timber lands still open, and just as soon as these can be closed, he is to proceed at once and as speedily as pess- ble to make arrangements for mGtaral ard building the plant.
 While some sort of Board Of Trade or organized effort would no doubt be bene- hcial to the town, and while we have al- ways advocated intense and organized ef- fort on the part of our business men to se- cure factories of all kinds, we must admit that our enterprisng and progressive Mayor is always equal to the occasion, and Is himself worth dozen who preach but never practice.
 We hope the Jones Company will locate, md We are sure they will receive the hear ty cooperation of every progressive citi- zen in this city

Choked with a Towel.

Jonas Gibson negro, living with his wife on the Houston pace, three miles north of Widener on the St. Francis river, was found dead in his chair about , o'clock last Friday even- ing, by his wife, who returned at that hour from visit to her mother on an adj lining farm.
 Mystery surrounds tue foul deed, and the coroner's inquest failed to develop any evidence pointing to t'c guilty party or parties.
 It seems that Glbsoa's wife Lad many admirers among the negroes in that vi- cinity, and that she was very partial to one Will Johnson, who was paying her great deal of attention.
 Johnson was at Gibson's shouse Thurs day during the absence of Jonas, and pleaded for tie love of his neighbor S wife. She told him she would love him but that she was afraid of her husband, who frequently beat her. Johnson told her he would put her husband out of the way, or words to that effect. She protested against this, and told him she did not want them to have any trouble. Jim Taylor and King Dozier were also at the Gibson place Thursday.
 On Friday forenoon Andrew DoZier came to the Gibson house to turn a mule into the lot, and as he left, Glib. sons wife saw him meet Frank Bolin in the field only a short distance from the house
 This was about II o'clock in the fore noon, and immediately afterward Fan nie Gibson, the wife of Jonas, left the house, saying she was going to visit her mother on the adjoining farm. Jonas was in the house at the time, and was preparing to go hunting or elsewhere, when his wife left.
 Nothing further is known of the trag- edy which must have been enacted in that cabin very shortly afterwards.
 Fannie Gibson returned home about 5 o'clock that evening, and says she found the house locked up, and that she had to effect an entrance through a window. Upon entering she found her husband dead, the body ina sitting posture in his chair, with bis head tied 10 the back of the chair with a towel He had evidently been choked to death, as it would have been impossible for him to have tied himself to the chair and committed suicide. There were no marks of violence except stab in the femoral artery and scrotum, SUD- posed to have been inflicted by his own long-bladed pocket knife, which was found on the floor open by his side.
 Deputy Swan is working on the case, and he brought the wife and her moth- CT in and locked them up on suspicion, and until the mystery can somewhat be cleared up.
 On Wednesday large lot of wit nesses were summoned to appear here an6 when the train pulled in Johnson was among them. Deputy Swan met the train and commanded Johnson to throw up his hands, which he did not do at once, and MT. Swan discharged his pistol to frighten him.
 Johnson and Andrew Dozier are both in jail on suspicion, and will probably have hearing Monday before Squire Stone.
