CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
Another Meeting Will be Held Next
Monday and the Charter
viii Close -

About forty OF Fallon's business men,
enthusiasts OF the Chamber Of Com
merce project, assembled at the court
rooms Monday evening, for the purpose
ofadopting the by-laws and constitution,
which had been prepared by the com
mittee appointed for that purpose at
the meeting of October 3rd. The bylaws
and constitution were satisfactory with
but few exceptions, and were adopted
with the amendments.
Among the amendments adopted we're
provisions to empower the executive
committee with the election of the
secretary of the organization, and also
COMMITTEES, and the number OF members
composing each.
The report oi the special committee,
appointed to solicit sums for the under
taking, reported tina: in all some s5o5. so
had been promised, and that with a
thorough canvass this sum could per-
haps be augmented by an additional
sum OF sl50, which taken with the
monthly dues, that have been fixed
at one dollar, will allow Of the Chamber
oi Commerce operating upon broad
lines from the beginning.
Following the regular order OF busi-
ness. inptompta speeches were made
by Government Allen, Sup
ervising Engineer L. Ii. Taylor, Engi-
neer Thomas IL Means, 4 l. Rosen-
berg AMI others, and the witieismz
evoked good deal OF applause. The
talkfest was of the most cordial nature,
and the epirit OF the occasion was con
tagions 10 large degree.
Supervising Engineer L. II. Taylor
and Assistant Engineer K. Il MacGregor
are greatly pleased that the matter oi
cooperating with the project officials,
by the local Interests, should assume
tangible form A good pant ot their
lile's work has and will b apenr ia this
project. and naturally the successful
settlement oi the lands of the project
ia matter that lies very close to their
hearts.

After an hours speechmaking, the
meeting was adjourned to meet again
next Monday evening, at which time
great deal OF important business will
come before the Chamber OF Commerce,
and for that reason it is desired that
all should attend. 1t should be remem-
bered that the charter membership will
be closed onthat evening, and that per-
manent officers will be elected.
Let all attend the meeting next Mon

any great effort i'll casting about for an

Corn and other cereals can be raised

as in Iowa and Missouri, and for this
reason, the production Of hogs and other
live stock must sooner or later be one OF
our principal industries. According to

ON deposit in the Churchill County
Bank, while the balance amounting to

that Churchill county is quite distance

The crop condition through
out the South Atlantic states is
not what it should be, and yet,
there is room to hope that the
price will be sufficient to make
up a part Of the loss from short
yield. The storms prevailing ali
over the cotton belt has very
perceptibly affected the port re-
ceipts, to the extent that the
daily reports show a falling off,
and if this continues for any
length of time it is bound to
make prices go higher, There
has been no disposition so far on
the part of the farmers to hold
cotton, and this fact alone shows
to our mind thatthe short port re.
ceipts is caused by the actual
shortage in yield. If, as last
year, the farmers were storing
their cotton in warehouses, the
Spectators would have an ex-
cuse for holding prices down,
but the cotton being marketed
as fast as ginned, and the re-
ceipts still falling off proves, the
boasted tremendous Texas crop
to be a myth. There is no doubt
about it, the cotton crop is short,
and very short, and strong prices
can safely be expected.

The complaints ali over the
State about the matter Of school
books are so great that we must
think the general assembly will
have to take notice of it. There
is something wrong somewhere
and somehow" It should be
investigated, and the investiga-
tors should not be mere job
hunters either. In our opinion,
the only way te investigate a
matter where there is a strong
suspicion of graft, is to empower
the Attorney General to employ
men who are trained to make
Investigations, let him have the
evidence gotten together and
then let him prosecute. We be-
lieve there has been graft in the
school book business, just like
we are morally certain there has
been graft in the dispensary.
Both should have full and fear
less attention at the coming
session. This should be a year
of graft-chasing, exposure, and
punishment.

The Comptroller General IS
again giving out that he pro
poses to recommend a revolu-
ton in our tax department..
There is no doubt that something
is needed to get our taxes
adjusted. but when he says the
banks, railroads and similar cor
poralions alone pay honest
taxes, we say he forgets the
small farmer-the tenant who
pays on all he has, while the
corporations are only required
to pay on sixty per cent of what
they are willing to show up.
If Comptroller General Jones
is after the tax-dodgers we hope
he will be able to devise a means
to get them, but we do not think
the appointment Of a crew OF
politicians at a lucrative salary
will work.

Three Kinds of Lightning.

The Eruscans Of old believed that
there were three kinds Of lightning
one incapable Of doing any injury, an
other more mischievous in its character
and consequently only to be issued with
the consent OF quorum Of twelve
gods, and a third carrying mischief ID
its train and for which a. regular de-
cree was required from the highest d.
whites In the Etruscan skies. Curl
ously enough. modern scientific men
agree with the view that there are
three kinds OF lightning. but their vari-
edes differ from the Etuscans. The
first is known as forked lightning and
runs in zEgzag lines, the second as sheet
lightning, because It is seen in a body,
and the third as globe lightning, as II
sometimes runs In the shape OF oalL
The latter variety is rather slow IN
moving.

The United States has done
that which we thought would be
the final outcome of the insur-
rection on the Island-taken
charge and assumed control, un-
til peace can be restored. In our
opinion that restoration of peace
will never come until Cuba is an
nexed.to the United States. When
Uncle Sam drove the Spaniards
away from Cuba, the flag of this
nation should have been run up
to stay, and if it had, the trouble
of retaking the island would
have been saved. The taking OF
Cuba now has the appearance OF
a conspiracy. The American
interests over there made some
sort of deal or compact with
the insurrectionists whereby the
constituted authorities might be
overthrown, and it succeeded.
Senor Palma the preSldenJ OF
the republic might now cry out
in the agony of his soul God
save me from my friends. The
United States went to him IN his
time of trouble processing to aid
him in restoring peace, the peace
was restored alright enough, but
when it was accomplished Uncle
Sam fearing it would not last
concluded to send Senor Palma
back home. Secretary Taft upon
proclaiming himself provinclnal
Governor with the courtesy OF a
dancing master rendered his
good Offices to the deposed
President, and offered to escort
him to the depot to see him OF.
It was very nice of Taft, to kick
a man out of his own house, and
then offer to see that he got out
of town.

The Word Nice"

"Nice" Is one Of the exceptional
words which have risen on the scale
and improved with age. 1t IS from the
Latin "nescius'' and originally slgni-
6ed ignorant. To Chaucer 1t regularly
meant foolish-"wise and nothing
nice" IL Spenser's time it still meant
efseminate. From general fcolishness
there was probably first specSallza-
ton to foolish fussiness about riaes.
Then the tdes Of ignorance dropped
out, and the word meant particular
about details, accurate. 1t was credit
able to be nice" observer or to
show mice" judgment And SO in the
end the positively agreeable meaning
Of today was evolved.

Commissioner of immigration
8. J. Watson is doing work for
South Carolina, and for the South
that will solve the race, labor,
commercial and social problem.
He is now in Europe, and about
to start home with the initial lot
of immigrants to be landed in
Charleston. These people are
sturdy Germans, and come from
the rural districts; they are
principally farmers: and do.
nestle servants, just the class of
immigrants needed here. The
fact of Commissioner Watson
succeeding in inducing one Of
the great steamship lines to
make the experiment of landing
at Charleston is a triumph, and
if the people Of the State will
back him up, they will make
Charleston a permanent landing
for immigrants, and thereby give
the people of the South the fist
choice in the selection Of LABOR.
The North and West was built
by just such settlers, and it IS
up to US now if We will brlld
well for the future. The letter
from Commissioner Watson Gated
at Ghent, and published IN last
Sundays State, and Sunday
News is very interesting. In
referring to a visit of King
Leopold and his court, he said
there was not as much enthusl-
asm, as there would have been
at the reception Of the news
that Columbia, Charleston or
Manning had won the pennant." "
So it will be seen that our base
ball advertising has even made
itself felt in far away Europe.

The press of the State has
been very kind in their ex-
pressions for the Times editor
upon his recent election to the
State senate, and he earnestly
hopes he will be able to meas
ure up to their expectations. The
coming session Of the general
assembly will be watched closer
than any other previous session
since that Of 1877, and the peo-
pie expect something to be done.
So far as the Times editor IS
concerned, he realizes that alone
he can do nothing, but with the
cooperation of 9th ers he
promises to do what he con
scientiously believes to be best
for the general good, and in all
Of his votes upon the measures,
conscience will direct them. He
hopes to be able to view ques-
tions in a broad, business-like
way, and if he cannot get just
what he wants he will make such
concessions as will come TO the
next best thing.
It is very gratifying to any
man of spirit to see so many OF
his co-laborers pleased at his en-
trance upon the public stage,
the kind expressions are sincere
ly appreciated, and of the many
who have grasped US by the
hand, and to say nice things in
their papers, our neighbor The
County Record Of Kingstree: s.
C. seems to have appreciated
the conditions here, and rejolces
at the outcome in Clarendon.

The first thing the general
assembly should do, in the way
of backing up the exposures Of
the dispensary Investigating
committee, is to empower the
attorney general to employ an
expert accountant to go over the
books Of the State dispensary,
ascertain TOW much liquor was
bought by the State where no
rebates are credited, and from
whom the liquor was bought,
then enact a resolution demand
ing of the attorney general that
heproceed in the United States
courts against the concerns the
whiskey was bought from, for
the amount of rebates the State
was entitled to at the time the
liquor was purchased.
By taking the case into the
United States courts the whiskey
concerns can be made to exhibit
their books and papers and if
the rebate money was not paid
to the State or it's authorized
agents, the State will be entitled
to recover, but on the other
hand, If the whiskey concerns
has paid this rebate, thev must
by written evidence show who
received it as the books of the
State dispensary for the first
two years gives nosuch evidence
In our judgment there was more
than enough rebate money be-
longing to the State in the first
two years Of the State dispensary
regime to have met the appropri-
ations for the State colleges, and
this money has never been ac-
counted for satisfactory.
