prevailed upon by several gentlemen
on the stand to be quiet. DR.. Strait
took the matter calmly. reiterated his
assertion and at the conclusion OF his
speech left the stand. He shortly az
terward left In his buggy toward ROCK
Hill.
The Magistrates.
After DR.. Strait, the candidates for
York township were called and Messrs,
s. N. Johnson and j. G. Conner made a
few remarks.
Mr.. John r. Roddey.
The candidates for county commits
sioner having already announced their
agreement not to go on the stand and
none of the other candidates desiring
TO have anything to say, Mr.. John T.
Roddey of Rock Hill, was introduced
fer a few remarks on the cotton spec
ulation question. He made quite an
interesting talk during which he de-
nounced the bucket shops and the cot
ton exchanges as devices for robbing
the cotton producer, and said that the
only way the cotton producer could
help himself was to hold his cotton
until the consumers were willing 70 pay
a fair price for II.
The speaking exercises were closed
at about quarter past 2 O'Clock. with
"a speech by Mr.. Stewart on cotton, ana
|disperse.
There was some liquor on the
ground, the express receipts having
been pretty generous during day or
two previous, but IL was not available
to all who might have desired It, and
taken altogether the crowd was well
behaved. until during the afternoon
when there were several more or less
serious infractions of good order.
At Forest Hill.
There were about two hundred peo-
pie at Forest Hill yesterday, and the
meeting was quite satisfactory. Mr.
John Craig, presided and allowed the
legislative candidates twenty minutes
each. and all consumed the time except
Messrs Neil and Glasscock Mr..
Slaughter was not present The
speeches were very much the same as
at Tirzah, except that Messrs. Epps
and Neil stated that II elected TO the
legislature they would vote for the
repeal of the Brice law, allowing coun-
ties that do not want dispensaries to
vote them out. The day passed on
quite pleasantly.

made and published by various politi-

Mr.. Fraser Lyons friends that 1t would
be dangerous for him to go to New

to be frightened by threats and he
went. The things put up bluff all
right; but they did not intimidate Mr..

Rock HILL, August 16.-At the meet
ing of the York County Medical as
sociation held in this city last week,
resolutions were passed raising from
81 to So the fee for examining
applicants for insurance in fra
ternal orders. This action Of the
medicos was duly published and has
aroused quite a lot of Indignation
among those orders affected thereby.
AT the meeting Of the Woodmen Of
the World, Monday evening. resolu-
tions were passed asking for a COM
mittee from that order to investigate
the matter, call for conference with
other orders affected and to further
take SUCH steps as they saw fit. 1t
was also decided 10 call for a joint
meeting of the fraternal orders SELL
ing insurance, at an early date, to
discuss the question. The Woodmen
claim that this action of the physi-
clans would have the effect of cut
ting down their applications fifty per
cent.
Late Monday afternoon, while
standing in the back door of her
residence, Mrs. Ross Roach, the wife
of a young R. F. D. carrier of this
city, was almost killed by bolt OF

ONE of the issues in the present
campaign seems to be whether the
people OF York county are to decide this
dispensary question in accordance with
their own ideas. or are they going to
allow themselves to be hoodwinked by
the state dispensary ringsters.

- washington, Aug. 10: The postal
authorities today decided that picture
postal cards depicting lynching scenes
are unmaIlable matter. The question
was submitted to the department by
James H. Ramsey. postmaster at SAL
isbury, N c., whose ONCE has been
receiving many postals which bore
photographs of the scenes attending
the lynching of Gillespie and Dilling-
ham, two negroes who were hanged
by mob last week. Hundreds Of
postal cards bearing gruesome scenes
of the hanging were sold recently.
and as soon as they reached the Sal
isbury postoffice they were held up
pending an investigation. AS a re-
suit of the decision OF the authorities
the postals will be confiscated and
sent to the dead letter Office.

Mr.. FRANK r. mCSdiH Do.
Said that as a candidate for the house
of representatives he was expected 10
come before the people and give rea-
son for the faith that is In him, and
at the outset he wanted to say that
IL the principles for which he stood
did not meet the approval OF the peo-
pie he would not expect their support
or think any the less Of them for voting
against him. When 1t comes to the
whisky question, he Is local option
ist: but he Is not a fence straddler.
He Is a local optionist because that
is democracy, and as an evidence that
local option Is right he cited the fact
that II has become the law or two
thirds of the states Of the Union. He
wanted to say open and above board
that the man who advocates local op-
tion is not a friend Of the state dis
pensary. II elected he will vote for a
local option bill with a clause provid-
ing for the repeal Of the state dispen-
sary. He said that the dispensary law
was enacted when he was only about
fourteen years of age and as he grew
up he accepted 1t as matter OF course
as the best solution Of the liquor ques-
tion: but he Is now able to see that
the state has come to the parting OF
the ways. He gave various reasons
why different people were opposed to
the state dispensary, and argued that
a county dispensary would make more
money. He himself was opposed to the
state dispensary for various reasons,
among others, because the state dis
pensary sells the rottenest stun that
ever went down the throat Of a human
being.
Voice: How do you know?
Mr.. Mccain: Because / have tried
1t, and tried it to my sorrow. But am
now a practical prohibitionist-don't
touch anything. He said that the
state government had no more right TO
force a dispensary on people who do
not want 1t than ii has to name for US
our clerks Of court, sheriffs, and other
officers. He repeated that the state
dispensary system is rotten and cor.
rupt. He said that there was no need
to discuss the good roads question as

- The Brooklyn Rapid Transit
company, which controls many OF the
suburban trolley lines Of Brooklyn, Is
the centre OF a great turmoil in that
city. The transit company has been
charging a double fare Of ten cents
for passengers from Brooklyn points
to Coney Island This, the courts
have recently decided, 1t had no au-
thority TO do, but despite the ruling
of the courts, the trolley company Is
endeavoring to collect the extra nve
cents fare. The general public,
standing on their rights as declared
by the court decision, is refusing to
paw an extra fare. During last Sum
day and Monday, passengers were
thrown from the cars by conductors
and inspectors upon refusal TO give
up the second nickel This action
has brought on almost continuous
riots and fighting The sheriff OF the
county has sworn In hundreds OF
special deputies and issued orders
for the arrest of all trolley employees
who assault passengers. The transit
company stubbornly refuse to yield
to the public demand for q fve cent
fare and the public as stubbornly re-
fuse to paw the extra fare. The rail-
road company has curtailed lts SER
vice beyond certain limits. Bro ,:
Coler, president Of the borough OF
Brooklyn has threatened to take
steps to have the charter Of the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit company
forfeited II the company does not
obey the rule Of the court.

corta In honor OF Secretary Root, e
which the diplomatic corps and high
officers of state only were invited, the
secretary made what was considered
the most important speech ne has de-
livered while on his tour. Our tradi-
tional policy In the United States" ne
said, 'is to make no alliances. 1t was
inculcated by Washington, 1t has been
adhered to by his successors ever since
but Mr.. President an alliance thai
comes from unsealed instruments, as
that from convention, signed and
ratified with all formalities, Is OF Vita
consequence. We make no alliances
but we make an alliance with all our
sisters In sentiment and feeling, in the
pursuit of liberty and justice, and In
mutual helpfulness." Roots speech
was received with vociferous applause
and the greatest possible satisfaction.

Candidates for Auditor.
After dinner, attracted by the music
Of the band, the crowd again assem-
bled around the stand, and the candi-
dates for auditor were introduced.
Mr.. J. ]. Hunter thanked the voters
| for their liberaltty two years ago, said
he had tried to do his duty during the
war and during reconstruction, and
promised that IL reappointed he would
show his appreciation of the consid-
Grafton of the voters in the quality OF
the service he would give.
Mr.. w. B. Williams was not within
sound of the chairman's voice when
called, but afterward got upon the
stand and said that so far as ne knew
the only question was whether Mr.
Hunter or himself should be elected
auditor. He thanked his friends fol
the support they had given him two
years ago, and said he would leave the
matter with them until the 2Sth.
DR.. T. ]. Strait.
The chairman announced that he
had received a message from Mr.. Fin
ley stating that he was unable to be
present because of a bilious attack
and he introduced DR.. T. j. Strait. DR.
Strait expressed regret that Mr.. Finley
was unable to be present, stating that
he had served notice on that gentleman
at Yorkville that he would have some
thing to say today, and what he had
to say was of nature that required
the presence Of the man he was oppos-
ing. Then he went over much Of what
he had said at Yorkville, and proceed
ed to intimate that Mr.. Finley had been
engaged principally in building up a
wall around himself by swapping offices
and positions to different men In con-
sideration Of their support. He spoke
at considerable length along this fash
ion, and finally he was interrupted by
Mr. r. ]. Morrow, who asked.
DR.. Strait do you mean to say that
Mr.. Finley is guilty Of having done
anything unjust?
DR.. Strait: That Is what / said, and
II he were here and you would sit down
and listen to us l would convince you.
[From the audience there came dem
onstration of hurrahs for Finley.l
Mr.. Morrow, very belligerently-l say
that he has not done any such thing
and II you will get down on the ground
and repeat 1t will convince you.
There were renewed shouts Of hurrah

GERMANY'S COLONIAL ERRORS
Herr ErzberEer Promises Greater
Revelations when ReichstaR
Meets I'm November.

BERLIN, Octa6.-(Spectal Cablegram TO
The Bee. e.l-=Thss- continued revelations of
Herr Erzberger on colonial inismanage-
ment, and his statement that he has vet
to play his trump card, have created a
general feeling OF uneasiness. and In many
quarters of profound dissatisfaction with
the entire colonial policy of the govern
ment.
The announcement that when the Reich
stag meets In November further credit of
SIS. 600 will be asked for to cover the
cost of military operations in German
Southwest and Eastern Africa, does not
tend to improve the feeling caused by
Herr Erzberger's revelations. 1t is call
cuated that within the last twenty years
that is to say, since Germany first pos
sessed colonies, S9O0, 900 have been paid
by the empire to defray colonial expenses.
Against this sum exports to the colonies
occupy most insignificant place. For the
same period they amount to only $50, ,0OO, GOO.
The most hopeful of Germany's posses
sions. Kiao Chau, including the cost of the
Boxer expedition, has already swallowed
$40, 00O.0OO. while the exports to Kiao Chau
IN 1905 were only 100000. For 1906 It is
calculated that the German colonies will
cost the empire $SS,O00OO0. It's income from
the colonies is about s., $4,000 while it's ex-
ports thereto will certainly not exceed s12,-
O0c.OOO. or the both part Of the empires en-
tire export trade
