Pay the Debt.

The Herald and News says the
county will refuse to pay the debt
contracted for road machinery. We
had heard whisperings Of that sort
before, but did not know that there
was any foundation for them.
The county may have made a mis-
take in buying the machinery: but it
will make a greater mistake in repu-
dating is obligations. The machin-
cry was brought deliberately; it was
bought by the the officer authorized
by law to buy it; here is no claim that
the machinery did not come up to the
representations made by the seller
1t is claimed that the debt is not
legally binding because an act of the
legislature forbids officials from max
ing obligations for which provision
has not been made. We do not know
about that.
The county, through it legal repre-
sentatives, bought this machinery.
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1905-03-28

They were advised and urged to do
SO by a number Of people of more or
less prominence and by the two
newspapers of the county. So far as
we know. none Of these men OF news
papers was interested in the purchase
one cent. and none had any end in
view except 10 promote the cause of
good roads in the county. We GER
tainly thought it was a wise invest
ment to make; and we still think it
would have been, and still might be,
if the machinery were properly cared
for and used.
Anyway. the county has given its
note for the machinery, and it ought
to pay the debt even though it might
be able to repudiate it under a legal
t~echnicaiity. Honesty requires it,
and VIC believe the courts will re-
qr:-e it also: though we acknowledge
that our opinion is not worth muck
on the legal aspects of the case. On
the moral aspect we have not the
shadow Of a doubt.

with their eyes wide open.

To sum up the entire matter, so tar
as the board is concerned, the moral
OBLIGATION did not and a not enter
into the matter. The board is bound
to carry out the law as it finds it. The
members of the board are not law
makers. The board will, whenever
they believe themselves to be duly
and legally authorized to pay this
debt. be only too glad to pay the
same if there are sufficient funds on
hand to do SO.
The law. as the board finds it now,
absolutely prohibits the board from
paving this debt, and by the law the
board must abide.
Respectfully yours
Fred H. Dominick.

PREMIER AND BALFOUR
LEADERS OF RIVAL PARTIES DE-
 LIVER ADDRESSES.
Former Prime Minister Declares That the Issue iS Whether Country Shall Have Home Rule
 or Fiscal Reform.

London. Dec. 29.-Sir Henry Camp bell Zimmerman, the premier, and Ar thur J. Balfour, the former premier, respectively, leaders of the two great parties now drawn up in battle array in the United Kingdom. addressed large audiences tonight
 The premier spoke at Dunfermline, Scotland, making fiscal reform his bat tie cry. In answering question, he said he did not favor separate inde- pendent legislature for Ireland. but in- tiHated that that country should have a legislature subordinate to the i'm perial parliament. s>~. .-
 MT. Balfour talking to sympath audience at Queens Hall, London, asked, will you have fiscal reform. or home rule. for this Is the true issue of the campaign" ,~.-.s'', '.':: :..:.
 Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman said that the Liberals would fight protec- ton and force reform during the cam paign as they did while in opposition, while the former premier said that fis- cal reform would be the first great t question with which the Unionist Party turned to power because 1t was q question in which the welfare of the country was bound up.
 MT. Balfour plainly indicated that the whole attack of Unionists through out the present campaign would be centered on the assumed intention of the Liberal Party to give Ireland con trol of its affairs through an executive responsibility to an Irish elective body.
 This, MT. Balfour believed, would in- evitably lead to separation which he admitted would be preferable to the continued parliamentary turmoil con scquent In half way measures.

NO CHANGE AT RIGA.
No Break in the General Strike in Li- VOnfa.

Riga, Livonia. Dec. 2S.--(Via Eydt- kuhnen, Dec 29O-There has been no break in the general strike here. None of the newspapers appeared today. The Inhabitants are not molested by the Pevolutionists. Otherwise, the situa- dion remains unchanged.
 Several thousand revolutionists as- semhled yesterday at the building of 1he Socialist organization for the pur- nose of holding a general meeting when a force of troops arrived uncx- pectediy. The infantry surrounded the building while the cavalry barred the adjacent streets and quick-firing guns were placed at the corners of the streets nearest tho hall After these preparations had been made, the com Fnander of the troops entered the hall with a company of infantry and an nounced to the revolutionists that they were surrounded He asked them quietly to disperse and to deliver up their arms, as otherwise the building would be bombarded.
 Most of the leaders had made their escape unnoticed through a rear door into q courtyard. The remainder de- ofared that they had no arms, where upon they were searched by the aoidiers. Those on whom arms were not found were allowed to leave the building while. 160 were arrested after being disarmed. The building was then occupied by the troops.

DEFEAT OF
 PR0LETARIAT Revolution of "RedS" is
 Crushed. CONFLICT WAS HELPLESS Not. a Military Unit Joined
 InsurrecilOniSis. Hunger of Peasants for Land Is n Ser loss Features, and Landlords Ar- range fe Part With Their
 Holdings.
CONFLICT WAS HELPLESS

St. Petersburg, Dec 2y.-The suppress sion of the insurrection at Moscow and the certainty that similar uprising else- where will be crushed. mark the call lapse at the first attempteof the "Rcds" to overthrow the government by arms and admin istered d dereat from which it is not believed in government cir cles the revolutionaries can quickly recover.
 Now that the smoke of battle Is clearing away the utter nopclessness of the conflict seems to be apparent. The populace held aloof and not q single military unit actually joined the revolu- tionaries. Even the general strike crun bled under the feet by their chal- lenging and precipitating a conflict be- fore the proletariat organizations were prepared
 The government secured a compara- lively easy though ruthless victory and 1t is believed in high official circles that the organizations have been so 6emoraiized and disrupted by tine blow and by the arrest of their most able leaders that it would be impossible for them to attempt the coup planned for the anniversary of Bloody Sunday"
 Acts of Terror Looked For.
 Tn desperation undoubtedly the reVo- lutionaries will again have recourse to acts of terror which they will. spring Tt the most unexpected moment
 The country has quieted and the cabi~ net now hopes that the selections of the Douma are assured and that the government can devote it's time to the revolt in the Baltic provinces and more especially 10 the solution of the agrarian question.
 If means cannot be found to in some measure satisfy the land hunger of the peasants before the spring, tho uniyer- sal opinion Is that the peasants every where will rise.
 The landed proprietors seem to be convinced of this to such an extent that the landlords in the. neighborhood of Minsk are calling their tenants together and arc voluntarily arranging the dis tribution of n portion of their private holding on terms satisfactory to the peasants. ,, sst5 5f

SsS other Attitude.
 st. Petersblirg, Dec. 2g-6.50 D. Nn.-- Peter Sturve, editor of The Osviboj- denIe Emancipation who has again shifted his position, publishes a ring ing article this afternoon in which he admits the defeat of the attempt aimed at the overthrow of the Government He says the attempt. of course, was madness and was bound to be extin- guished in blood Nevertheless he al- 1eges there was a heroic spirit behind 1t which should terrify the Gorernment
 Another such victory and the Gov ernment is lost says NJ. Sturve, who in conclusion summons all the forces of Emancipation to bury their dissentions end to unite in final struggle.
 The report that Lieutenant General Mitchenko has been wounded is not true.
 The league of Leagues has split, one portion favoring a continuance of the strike and another the abandonment of violent tactics and cooperation in peaceful preparation for the work of the Douma.
 With the evident object of inflamIng sentiment abroad, the revolutionary agents are putting out a story to the effect that the Government is deliber- Rtely plotting a general massacre of Jews. These agents display what pur- ports to be the text of an appeal by Rabbi addressed to the Jews to fight against the cross which they declare ss being printed by the Ministry of Marine for Distribution among the ig- norant classes with the object of pro ducing a concerted attack Investi- xation. fails to substantiate the charge that the Government is favoring any such document.

THEFT OF JEwELRY.
New York store Robbed for Second
 Time in Three Months.

New oYrk, Dec. 29.--For the. second time within three months and the seventh time within three years the jeweiry store of Schwartz Brothers. at 1868 Broadway, in the heart of the tenderloin district. was robbed early today and about $4.000 worth of dia- monds, rings and watches were stolen. The loss on the seven robberies. ac- cording to a member of the firm aggre- gates $20.000.
 The robbery was most daring, as this part of the city is the busiest and the most brilliantly lighted throughout the entire night. Working during tho height of a terrific rainstorm. when most of the pedestrians had sought shelter the burglars gained an en- trance to the store by cutting through a steel folding gate that barred the approach to the front door, and then cut through q heavy wire screen that protected the plate glass in the front door.
 They then smashed the half-inch thick glass to reach their plunder. The burglars in cutting the wires of tho screen over the window set off q burg lar alarm. yet they escaped with their booty before the police CT the agent of the burglar alarm reached the scene.

PLANT INDUSTRY BUREAU. Review of the Work Accomplished the
 Past Year.

1. Washington. Dec. 23.--The activity of the plant industry bureau of the De- partment ot Agriculture In it's effort to improve agricultural conditions throughout the United States is set forth in the annual report of the di- rector of the bureau, Dr. B. T. Gallo way.
 Cooperative work with the agricul- tural experiment stations of the sev- eral States and territories have been extended School garden work has been assisted in many ways and f15,- 900 packets of seed have been supplied to schools. The work on cottons have included the conducting of demonstra- tion and diversifcation farms and breeding to secure early and weevil- resisting types. Single germ beet su- gar seeL will soone be produced in quantities sufficient for field demon strations.
 New varieties of hardy oranges. new pineapples and new races of corn and cotton have been developed i'll the laboratory of plant breeding. Valuable strains of tobacco have been obtained by hybridization. It has been shown that heavy seed produces better plants than light seed.
 new date garden has been estab- lished at Yuma, Ariz., especially for the cultivation of varieties from the Per sian gulf. The planting of grasses as sand binders has produced important results. ..
 The effort to cross lettuce gives promise of securing varieties which will mature early, head readily and have other advantages over those now in use At the seed laboratory 9.634 germ tests and 1,145 tests for mechan- ical purity have been made Of 1.220 samples of seeds obtained in the open market 230 were found to be either adulated or misbranded.
 The foreign explorations have result ed in the securing of many valuable varieties of dates for the Government date gardens in Arizona and California and also many important dry land fodder plants. The results achieved in combating diseases of orchard fruits have been especially gratifying. Rem edies for the disease of orange trees known as dis-bac have been discovered and the proportion affected in region where ten years ago 50 per cent. of the trees were diseased, has been reduced to less than one-tenth of 1 per cent.
