Cost of Philippine Exhibit.

Secretary Taft was ACCOMPANIED to the
cabinet meeting today by Mr. Lawshe audi
tor of the Philippine government who de-
sired to pay his respects to the President
before returning to his post Mr.. Lawshe
has been in this country for several months
in connection with the Philippine exhibit at
the Louisiana purchase exposition. He has
completed the adjustment of the accounts Of
so much of the exhibit as was made by the
Philippine government. one of the most eX-
tenSlVe at the exposition. Briefly Summar-
lied, his accounts show that in round fig
ures this exhibit cost the Philippine COM
mission million and half dollars, while
the returns from franchises admissions and
other sources of revenue during the con-
tinuance of the fair were little over $780,
coo. Although this shows that the exhibit
was far from self-Sustaining from a pecu-
mary point of view, yet the Philippine com
mission feels amply repaid for the expendi-
ture by reason of the great stimulus given
to the interests of the American people IN
the Philippines by what they saw at the
exposition, which the commission believes
will certainly result in large and per-
manent increase of trade. between the

Illinois Judges Appointed.
After a brief conference today with
Speaker Cannon and Senator Hopkins,
President Roosevelt sent to the Senate the
nomination of Judge Francis NJ Wright
OF the Court OF Claims of this city as judge
OF the new eastern district of Illinois. the
new district recently created by act Oh
Congress. The vacancy made by the
change of Judge Wright has9been filed by
the nomination of Fenton CIV. Booth OF
Marshall county. ILL.,, Mr. Booths name
having been presented to the President by
Speaker Cannon.
These nominations have been expected for
some time, but there are two other judicial
nominations for the northern part of the
state that are yet to be made and about
which there may be some delay. These
nominations have caused several iconsuIta-
tons at the White House, Senators Cullom
ana Hopkins talking to the President freely
about them. One of the nominations Is
that of an additional circuit judge and the
second is for new district judge. The
Illinois senators had agreed to the propo-
sition that Judge Christian G. Kohlsaat.
now a district judge, should be promoted to
| the position of circuit Judge, thus making
two vacancies on the district bench. For
these two places Senator Cullom had pro-
| posed Sol Bethea, United States attorney
az Chicago, while Senator Hopkin9 had
| proposed one of a number of strong cand1-
dates. The situation has been complicated.
however, by charges filed against Judge

HIGH LICENSE FOR SOUTH CAROLINA.

What do you think of South Carolina
actually going into the high license busi
ness? A bill has been introduced by
Senator Williams providing that a license
of $1,000 shall be paid to the State
treasurer for each concern handling coca
cola, and that unless this license is paid
fine of not less than $500 nor more
than 81 900 shall be forfeited.
We confess that we are not sufficiently
familiar with tho effects of coca cola
drinking to say whether or not the
beverage is hurtful and deserves to be
driven from the market or its sale re-
stricted by means of a system of high
license. II, however, it is injurious, for
the sake of uniformity and consistency,
it would seem that the State should make
it unlawful for person or corporation
to handle it at all. The State should 60
into the coca cola business at once if the
drink is injurious. We imagine tho
''Dum Spiro Spero Spes" brand of coca
cola, furnished only over the counters Of
the legally constituted State grog shops,
would be great. And then, too, it might
serve as means of eiovatiDg once more
the glorious old palmetto tree from the
level of common whiskey stamp. Had
you ever noticed how proud those State
whiskey bottles look, aud what an air of
humiliation the old palmetto tree has
assumedp

BALL CAIN, the famous duck shooter
from somewhere about Goose Creek, who
was recently tried in Greenville for con-
tempt of court and sent to Jail for four
months, has been quite unwell since his
confinement in the Charleston Jail. Cain
roasts the Greenville Jail and jailer in
great shape, and says that "the cell gave
off an awful odor, and would fave given
a hog the cholera" This is serious. The
Charleston authorities should be eau
tious. Connecting Gains assertion with
the the fact that he is not we'll makes it
entirely plausible that a case of cholera
is developing now in the Charleston Jail.

MATTERS IN THE STATE SENATE.
Nineteen Acts Ratified-New Trespass Law,
Income Tax Returns Public Records.

Colu a February Z Editors Cou-
fed. and of this number only three are
of general and permanent effect. The
greater number provide for such things
as the election of trustees in some school
district or the building of school houses.
Section 4S0 of the Criminal Code has
been repealed by one of the acts ratified.
That section made the county auditor
keep secret all matters in respect to the
returns of persons who are liable for the
income tax. BY this act these returns
are public records aud subject to public
inspection just as any other returns. 1t
may be that this will encourage some to
make returns.
The new provision as to foremen of
the juries is as follows "The foreman of
each jury, after being thus empanelled,
may be appointed by the court, or the
jury may retire and choose their fore
man" This now becomes Section 294l
of the code.
The other act of general import is to
carry out The constitutional provisions as
to the liability of stockholders in banks.
The constitution of 1895 makes the
stockholders liable for an amount equal
to their stock in addition to the stock.
Ex-Judge j. II. Hudson was sworn in
.as Senator from Marlboro last Wednes-
day He is the oldest member of this
body and is (he says) as green as baby
on legislation. He sits and watches in
tently the proceedings of the body while
the others have go-easy time, reading
or writing or engage in conversation.
But even with this there is nothing that
passes that does not have the closest
scrutiny.
NEW TRESPASS LAW.
The new trespass law that has passed
both houses and is ready for ratification
is as follows: "That from and after the
approval of this act, any porson or per-
sous entering upon the lands of another
for any one of the following purposes Of
bunting, fishing, trapping, netting, gath
ering fruit, straw or surf, vegetables,
herbs. or cutting timber on same, with
ger thereof. shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor, and, upon conviction
thereof, shall pay fine of not more than
twenty dollars, or be imprisoned a. hard
labor not more than thirty days, for each
and every offense" All acts inconsist
ent are repealed. j. r. Earle.

patience of our greatest statesmen and
philanthropists. We Of the North have
in years past made the solution of this
prob lem more difficult for our Southern
brethren. We now owe them generous
sympathy and forbearance. Their task
is long one, and beset with peculiar
difficulties. We should concede that
they have done aud are doing what We
would do under similar circumstances.
The solution of this grave and compli-
Gated problem cannot be hasteued by
coercion, threats or abuse.
"But whatever we of the North may
do, whatever the government may ac-
complisb, the real burden of this prob
lem rests on our brethren of the South.
In her work of solving this problem the
South could have no better, no firmer
friend, than President Roosevelt, for all
that the South needs, besides time, is a
square deal; and no one knows better
than the President that square deal for
the South means simply intelligent sym
pathy from Northern men-uLpreju-
diced, even-handed justice from the
Federal government"
Such expressions never fail to bring
forth an abundant harvest. They are ap-
preoiated in the South, and they are
forming the ground work for the build
ing up OF sentiment over the whole
country that cannot fail to obliterate all
traces of sectional feeling and prejudice
in this country.
