TREE PLANTING ON PUBLIC
ROADS.

The question as to shade trees for
the people of Mecklenburg. The Char
lctte Chronicle urges the planting Of
fruit trees. We would suggest to The.
Chronicle that if it succeeds in having
it's ideas on this subject adopted it
should also advocate appropriate leg
islation for the cheapening of physi-
clans prescriptions and the cost of
those medicines usually administered in
cases of surfeit of green fruit by the
small boy. The Chronicle tells us that
several years age this same question
was up before the county authorities
and that it came near being put into
effect. The question then arose, as
now, as to what kind of trees should
be used. Rev. DR.. Stagg made a strong
fight for the walnut and was abou to
hoard declared at a meeting that mis-
party people, which then controlled the
county government. would have'silver
naples or no trees to adorn the beau
tiful macadam roads of their county.
Then, says The Chronicle, ensued a
wrangle and the meeting adjourned,
to the delight of the populists and the
disgust of the democrats. That was the
end of the tree planting project. We
hope the tree planting advocates will
be more successful this time. 1t would
be well for all the counties in the state
which are building good roads to give
his matter attention.

TO ABOLISH SOUTH CAROLINA
DISPENSARY.

The South carolina people seem to
have become Disguised with the work
ing of the dispensary. We see from
the Charleston Post that there is now
pending in the legislature Of that state
a bill to return to the license system
not to the old, loose way of granting
license to almost n n who applies
for the same and can pay the privilege
tax, but for a well-regulated and close
~ guarded plan for permitting the sale
Of liquors by individuals as private
enterprise instead of the state monop-
oily in the traffic. The Post says the
bill provides for the adjustment of the
dispensary, and it describes the terms
Of the measure as follows:
The bill provides for a very close re-
striction of the business of selling Ii
quor the regulations being practically
h same as now applied to the dispen-
cary. The license fee is fixed high and
besides this every dealer who may en-
gage in the sale Of liquor, under the
act. must furnish a bond to guarantee
his compliance with the terms Of the
law. The executive authority is to have
a very close supervision of the whole
business and is given authority to close
up establishments when the public
good may be served by such act. Es~
lishment of the system is to be only
upon the declared wish Of communities,
at regularly provided elections. the To-
cal option idea being carefully worked
cut in the provisions of the measure.
The Post thinks that it is a measure
which promises reform of real value.
There seems to have been great re-
action of late in public sentiment re-
garding the ~dispensary in that state.
Many of those who a few years ago
thought it was going to be the saliva
ton of the state, morally and finan-
ciaily, have turned against it. They
were honest and sincere in the stand
they took at first and are equally SO
now. They have found that a state
~dispensary is not what they thought
1t was as a means of producing sobriety
and moral REFORM. In this class are
many church members and ever the
official bodies of the churches have
changed front on the question. These
people are as strong advocates now of
temperance as they were when advc-
eating the state dispensary, but expe-
rience and observation have shown them
they were mistaken. Like honest, con-
sentative men they admit their mis-
take and seek other methods for the
accomplishing of the good they arc
striving after.

ject and purpose soon drifted by rea-
son of the bloody events into revolu-
tionists, ready to tear down the throne
and to destroy the government. Some
of the circumstances connected with
the I'M of bringing about present
conditions indicate strongly that the
leaders of the movement had been
working secretly to bring about just
what has happened. knowing all along
that if the people were to follow their
advice and instructions thinking they
were merely going to petition the ear
to redress their grievances, the OUT
come would be such treatment of the
people as to make them willing and
desperate tools of the conspirators
against the government.
NO matter what the original pur-
pose of those leaders, they have In
a~ugurated what from present D
ances will develop into a general up
rising Of the peasants and middle
classes and a fearful revolution.

THE MISSOURI sENATC3sHIp.

The republicans Of the Missouri leg
islature have got the matter of cleo
ton of a senator to succeed Senator
Cockrell in a muddle. We o the
republicans Of that state are so little
used to managing state affairs that
they do not know what to do with the
victory they won last fall. There Is
a most remarkable state of affairs in
the legislature on the senatorial ques-
ton. On the taking of the vote sep
arately in the two houses last Tues
day the nominee of the republican eau
Gus received enough votes to secure the
election, but when the two houses met
in joint session the next day, as the
law requires, to confirm the separate
votes enough republicans bolted the
other person to defeat the action of the
republicans on the separate votes, AMI
thus the matter stands. The man who
was the nominee of the party control
ing the legislature and who got enough
votes in the two houses balloting sepa-
rately connot secure a majority of the
! votes of the legislators on joint ballot
This is a remarkable state of affairs
and n that we suppose was W. be-
fore witnessed in the election of a
United States senator. We have known
the caucus nominee of the ruling party
to be defeated of the election by the
boiling of members of his party and
joining with their political enemies in
the election of some other person. A
notable case of this kind was when in
1873 seventeen democrats in the North
| Carolina legislature bolted the caucus
nomination of Hon. z. B. Vance and,
with the assistance of the republican
legislators. elected Hon. A. G.. Merri-
| mon in place of their party nominee.
But we have never heard of a case
where the candidate for senator, after
receiving enough votes on separate
| ballots was unable to secure the cleo
ton on the joint ballot of the two
houses. It is a very peculiar state of
affairs the boiling republicans have
brought about in the Missouri legisla-
ture.

VULNERABILITY OF THE SOUTH

Every important move on the inter-
national chess board seems to have
harmful effect OF the southern states
of America. Take the serious tevents
the Russian-Japanese war and now the
threatened revolution in Russia-all
have tended to suppress the foreign de-
mand for the chief staple product Of
the south. Should this disturbance in
Russia assume the proportions of a
general revolution Russia's export OF
wheat to other countries of Europe
would be greatly curtailed, if it did
Dot entirely cease, and most likely
every cotton factory in that vast en-
pire would suspend operations. The
demand for American wheat and corn
that for cotton would fall off, perhaps
to the extent of the consumption of the
Russian factories. All disturbances Of
international trade with the United
States seems to work injuriously to
the south n for the good of the other
sections Of our country. The prosper
ity of the south depends upon the de-
mands from other countries to a
larger extent than of any section of
the United States. The reason is we
suppose thai we came nearer having q
monopoly Of the production of our
| staple product than does any other Sec
ton. we have less competition in thai
from other sections of the world than
do the producers Of any other Ameri-
can product and it is a commodity
whose consumption is quickly affected
by serious disturbances in the countries
which draw their supply from us.
