Return of ~The clansman,'

Macon Telegraph.
 The Augusta Herald is distressed at the return of The Clansman" to that city, and In behalf of itself and of Au- Rusta citizens, suggests that the doors of the local theater should be closed to the negroes on the occasion. ThS Her. aid appears ta think that Mir Dixon S lurid play dealing with the race issue Is in measure responsible for the present sent tdePlorable , race conditions
 Considering the recent troubles in this section of the South and the con sequent state of feeling which exists visable to reserve the entire house during 'The Clansman's engagement for whitel people only" It would ap- pear that any one in Augusta who the criticism which followed in it's wake last winter. should reco SS,i ize al once the sense and expediency of ex- cluding negroes from the opera house on the Fist and 22d of September
 That the play appeals only to the lowest passions of it's audience has been the consensus of opinion since it's first production in the south, and there is little doubt but that The Clansman' has played It's part in producing pres ent race conditions in this State, as cannot estimate the harm 1t has all ready done in the South, Tor a mixed audience can only leave the theater after the fall of the curtain with an are pictured in the play. Why then run the risk of distureine the quiet peace which now exists between the two races in Augusta by mixing them up before scenes whioh cannot possi- bly recur in the South again except upon the stage?"

A DECISIVE VICTORY.

The recent election in South Caro- Una was one of much significance on account of the issues involved and the results arrived at by the votes. Eouth Carolina is the only State which has tried the experiment of a state Dispensary system. Its operation has not been either successful or satisfae- tory. and 1t was the principal Issue in the election just held. Martin F. An sef for Governor, and J. F. Lyon for Attorney General. made the race open ly as opponents of a State Dispensary. They have been elected by handsome ma3orIties Another issue was really Senator Tillman-or. rather, he and the Dispensary system were the issue. 1t was TillEnan who placed the State under that system and he made de- termined and aggressive fight for It. going over the State and making speeches in favor of its continuance. The result is a distinct repudiation of the Dispensary and it's father.
 What the Legislature will do is not yet certainly known. but the voice of the people has been plainly expressed in emphatic disapprobation of an un- wise theory of government They have gone to the polls and told to the world that they will have no more of it. The victory. as The Columbia state expresses it, is great. and l'the defeat of the dispensary machine is crushing. The whiskey ring, backed by severy influence it could bring to bear, and sustained by Senator Till man, has been smashed. The utter route of the dispensary is the more complete since in it's effort to secure a lease of life, it championed the cause of a gentleman of high character and ability. The machine could not save itself and it was a miIlstone about the neck of Mir. Manning. The dispensary dragged him down.
 South Carolina is to be congratu- lated on having taken the first de- cisive step towards ridding herself of an incubus, and giving a black eye to a would-be boss The Legislature should complete the work begun by the people and wipe the unwise meas- ure from her statute books forever Then every locality in tine State should settle the matter for itself, whether it be local dispensary, prohibition H. cense or what not. The State Dis pensary has proven cess pool of nauseating corruption.

This is a monument to Pocahontas- not a tomb, a vault, mausoleum, or a catacomb.
 It is by no means unusual to con struet monuments that do not con- stain the remains of anybody.
 Often monuments are erected over the graves of the persons whom they commemorate. but Pocahontas was not buried at Jamestown, where this mon- ument is to be placed.
 Nothing is less Important than the discovery of the bones of Pocahontas. Her place in history does not in any sense depend upon their place in the dust.-Norfolk Landmark.
 Well, Mynheer Buttinsky, nobody said or intimated that it is necessary or essential to have a monument con- tain the remains of the dear departed. We only thought a few of them might make the job more realistic.

The Advertiser publishes elsewhere an article from The Roanoke Leader. which is bound to attarct considerable attention. Some days ago complaint was made by Republican paper. that Rep0hlicans participated in Democrat ic primaries in Walker county. It protested against men voting in the primaries of more than one party. Its protest was a proper one. It will he seen in The Leader article that it complains of Republicans more than once entering Democratic primaries in Handolph county and seeking to con- froI by having balance of power.

T call 1t Americanism," is the way Mir. Hearst refers to the new political party he is leading. That is the ut terance of a demagogue. lie thinks the term 'Americanism" will catch many voters who could not be induced to follow him under any other name. In the beginning of the Know Noth- ing uprising they. called. themselves Native Americans and thus caught thousands who would not otherwise have joined their party. Nationality is strong with the American people and anything that looks to them like loyalty to their country will catch them. That is why Hearst declines to be considered an Independent. So- ciaiist, or an American. He wants to create the impression that American ism is all the doctrine he professes. and under that cloak he hopes to be- come Governor of New York. Per- haps he may succeeda for people like to be hunbugged and neither of the old parties in that State is in very good condition.

Use Of Benzine in the Denaturing Of
Alcohol

In. the regulations recently issued by the
Treasury Department with regard to the
material to be used for completely dena-
turing alcohol. it was stated that wood aico-
hol and benzine would be used.
The question has been submitted to the
internal revenue bureau by druggists. man
ufacturers, distillers and others to what
effect the use Of benzine would have upon
fire insurance policies and fire risks
Commissioner Yerkes of the internal rev.
enue bureau states that persons handling
denatured alcohol need have no uDeasiness
about fire risks In connection with the use
of that article; that the benzine prescribed
will be a hydro-carbon. obtained either
from petroleum coal tar. having a
specific gravity Of not less than 500 and a
boiling point of not less than $50 degrees
centigrade: that the benzine will not be
a particle more dangerous from the point
OF view of fire risks than the alcohol itself
or many other articles whose presence in
buildings does not add to the fire risk or
call for higher rate Of insurance.

the request was referred. does not believe
that it would be advisable at the present
time. but that the work will be done in the
future when It Is thought most practicable
In their communication the members of
the association stated that this improve

enable the proposed laying of cement side

and that an extension be made to the Lang
don public school. These latter requests,
the Commissioners say, they will consider.

the test was satisfactory. They will make
written report upon their findings which
