For Virginia.

The Manufacturers Record of last
week says: Gov. Swanson of Virginia
has reaons to congratulate himself on
his act In sending to Europe, as an
official representing Virginia, Hon. G.
w. KOiner, State Commissioner OF
Agriculture. Naturally the official
character of the visit made in the in
terest of immigration to Virginia made
a better impression abroad than could
have been expected from the visit of a
private Individual, and there is reason
to believe that gratifying results will
appear in the Fastening of the devel.
opment of Virginia, in which Gov.
Swanson has shown deep and practi-
cal interest since his inauguration.
1t is we'll known that there ls great
deal of competition at present abroad
for good immigrants, and Commis-
sioner Koiner is naturally disincliued
to publish the details of the plans he
has made for the attraction Of deslra
BILE settlers to Virginia. 1t may be
stated, however. that the plans ignore
the riff-raff of the cities which some
European countries would gladly be
rid of, but contemplate a campaign
disabusing the minds of Europeans of
false Impressions about the South, re-
tiecting earlier Misrepresentation by
Western immigration agents and Civ
ing positive and definite Information
about the advantages of Virginia for
good farm labor, farm tenants and
homeseekers generally. In certain
European countries it is impossible
for laboriDg man. no matter how
faithful and efficient he may be, ever
to own farm of his own, and thou
sands of laboring men have but mea-
ger income. in spite of their hard
work. 1t is to this class That the i'm
plan of Commissioner KOi-
ner will appeal, and there can be no
doubt that, properly sustained, be will
be able SO to demonstrate the advan-
tages offered in Virginia to the laboripg
men of Europe who want to better
their condition in life that overy acre
of idle land in the State will be in
fair way to be occupied and every
farm offered for sale will find buyer.

Vacation is over, and 1t becomes
us to ask ourselves what tribute it has
yielded In physical. intellectual. and
| spiritual values. Time was when the
physical gain of the rest time was the
paramount consideration with most
of those who could command vaca-
tion at ALL Now the larger factors of
mind and soul come in for serious
thought. and ample. opportunity is
offered by summer schools, Chautau.
qua assemblies, educational tours, etc.
for intellectual stimulus and social
enjoyment. The highest ends of edu.
cation, if not of all life, for the indi-
viduaI are the per sonal requirement OF
the accumulated wisdom Of the race,
the opening of the windows of the
soul to the glory and beauty of the
material and spiritual universe, and
the strengthening of the will for study,
purposeful action and achievement.
To put the same truth in another form
is to say that we should learn to live
rightly, by finding out how other men
have lived and are living; by opening
the eyes of our mind to God 3 truth as
manifested in nature and the soul of
man; and by using the inspiration
thus obtained in active service of
others The teacher has exceptional
opportunities for the attainment of
these ends. Not the least of these is
the long vacation with its favoring
conditions for study, travel, rest, OBJ
servation of men and things, and
communion with nature. Let us hope
that we are all returning to our work
with fuller stores of knowledge, deep
er appreciation of all forms of beauty,
and a firmer determination to be of
service to those who look up to us as
sources of helpful inspiration and
guidance. If the vacation has done
something for us along these lines. as
we'll as furnishing us accessiOns of
bodily strength. it has been valuable
indeed.'

Just what the game Of the admins
tTatfon as to these counties rs, we
do not fully understand. We do not
believe that there is any more tigering
in them than any Of the other counties,
and we do not believe there Is any less
than there is in York.
II there is any other object in main
tanning state constables in York county
than to punish the people for their re-
fusal to have dispensary, we cannot
figure 1t out. The administration GER
tainly cannot base its action on moral
grounds, for If 1t is not morally wrong
for the state to sell liquor, it Is no
more wrong for the individual to sell
1t. And there is no business In the
proposition because to a business man
the idea of spending $4,000 to capture
5000 worth Of liquor is absurd.
The most we can see in the figures
of Constable Hammet is very small
very silly effort to punish the people
who refuse to stand for the contin-
uance of the state machine.
And another thing, while these
amounts are charged against the coun-
ties all right, when it comes to max
ing the counties pay up. we think there
will probably be some more argument.
We do not believe that the administra-
ton has gone about this thing In prop
er or lawful manner, and If the coun-
ties show the right kind of gumption,
we have an idea that the supreme court
will refuse to hold them to account
for the amounts that may have been
assessed against them.

GENERAL MARKET CONDITION.

The cotton letter Of c. P. Ellis & Co.,
Of New Orleans, published in the Char
lotte Observer of this morning, gives
an interesting view Of the market
situation. The letter is as follows:
The general disposition is to belittle
the effect of last weeks freezing wealth
err though experience teaches that
temperatures approximately at and
even below the freezing point always
have the same effect, viz, to put stop
to the making Of cotton. The sentl-
ment among professionals here as well
as at New York continues bearish, and
the rank and file Of traders on both ex-
changes endeavor to depress prices at
every opportunity, but the failure OF
their effort and the fact is plainly that
the article for the present is bulling
itself, and exporters short Of October
shipments are paying fancy premiums
to fill their commitments. Under the
circumstances, we do not apprehend
any important decline at present. Ii
the wet weather now prevailing over
the southwest should be followed by q
freeze higher prices will almost surely
result and in any case we think that
the general modification Of crop esti-
mates now in process will eventually
show higher prices tnan we nave yet
seen. In this way whatever deteriora-
tion the staple has suffered will, per-
haps, he more than discounted before
the issuance of the government esti-
mate in December and prices for the
season will probably touch their high
point between now and then; hence we
would avoid short commitments until
the spot situation shows more evidence
Of relief. We find the same long inter-
est on our books that existed when the
market was 2 cents per pound lower,
represented by trade purchaser not yet
completed.

"And where are these animals

"And where are these animals
caught? " -. ~,
"Minks are more or less plentiful
along nearly all the streams and so
are the muskrat. Otter is found on
Catawba river, on Crowder's creek
and have heard of a few on Turkey
creek below Sharon"
THE trappers don't botli0r with the
muskrats much, except to exterminate
them The minks are trapped for the
skins They are pretty hard to catch, I
am told, until the trapper learns how
and then he can bring them in right
along. Only a few otters have been
caught from time to time: but some of
the trappers have told me of their in
tention to try their hands on the larg-
er game and that is why have so
many of the larger and stronger traps"
The information impaired by Mr..
Brown on the trapping question will
no doubt prove interesting to others
besides the reporter, and there are
many readers of The Enquirer who will
probably make further investigation
of the suggestions here included as to
how to get rid Of some very destruc-
tive pests in a manner that will yield
profit rather than pests.

THE DIsPENsARY PUZZLE.-One Of the
best delegations elected to the next
house of representatives, says the News
and Courier, Is that from Florence
Messrs. Kershaw, Shipp and Aver.
The two former gentlemen are opposed
to the state dispensary. Mr.. Aver, who
Is the accomplished editor Of the Flor
ence Times, has for a long time been
an advocate Of the state dispensary,
but he Is not the kind Of man to accept
blindly any and every sort Of state
ment He does his own thinking. The
following from the Times Of Thursday
is interesting.
"The dispensary statement Is issued
and they tell us that it is mighty fine
showing, but we get terribly tangled
up in the figures and really guess that
we will have to wait until we get there
to tell you whether we agree with the
commissioner that 1t Is so fine. We
are told that the amount due the school
fund is being rapidly collected, which
is good news, the schools need It, AS
matter of fact, this school fund debt
is tied up in the stocks in the county
dispensaries and Is figured from their
estimated profits, which have not yet
accrued, except the 100000 permitted
by the legislature. That Is as far as
we can go, but we promise to learn
something more about 1t later and to
tell it just as we see It,"

ern senators and representatives who
voted for 1t didso with. their eyes open.
Some of them held that the law would
go no further than to compel the roads
to supply equally good cars for both
white and negro passengers, but even
IL ii should be so construed 1t Is doubt
full If II would be practicable for the
roads to comply with 1t. for a car used
exclusively for negroes would deter
mine much more rapidly than car OF
the same character used exclusively
for white passengers. Whatever may
be the effect Of the law as applied to
ordinary day coaches many lawyers
who have studied the question believe
there is no doubt as to its application
to parlor cars, and dining cars. Under
this law, a negro willing to pay for
parlor car seat, sleeping car berth, or
a meal in a dining car must, they say
be accommodated and the railroad must
give him equally as good service as Is
given to white passengers. In other
words, under this construction, every
parlor car, every sleeping car, and ev-
cry dining car in the south must be
opened to negroes.
