That is the way the, legislative ticket
stood at dark last night after careful
checking up of the returns as made by
the precinct managers. There were
fifteen boxes at which the total vote
was net divisible by 4, showing errors
In all Of them. Because Of the close
ness o. the vote there was nothing to
do but to recount all the ballots cast
for the house of representatives. This
was at once determined upon. The
count was commenced last night at
o'clock. and the executive committee
worked straight through until o'clock
this morning. Some fifteen or twenty
defective ballots were discovered. On
some only three names were scratched
and OIL others, two, three and five.
These were all thrown out, and a
counting up of the totals showed that
the matter still stood as at the begin
ning-Saye nominated, Epps lacking
one vo:e of nomination and Beamguard
and Neil tying for the second and the
last place on the ticket.
But Notwithstanding the recount
there was still an error in Yorkville
No. /. The total vote cast for the leg
islaturs was still undivisible by four
without remainder and the box had
to be Iecounted-

Apple Rust.
Mr.. George r. Wallace wrote to Mr.
Redding, the agricultural expert, fol
information as to the cause Of rust on
apple trees and Mr.. Redding replied as
follows: There is a fungous disease
called In the books gymnasporangium
macropus (hold your jaw IL you shall

the cedar trees in the first portion OF

The spores spread by means Of the
wind from the affected cedar trees to
any nearby apple tree on which the
4 fungus enters upon its second stage

THE Chester Lantern objects to our
use Of the word bitter as descriptive
of its opposition to Mr.. Finley; but
is kind enough to say that 1t does not
think we would use the word In an Of
fensive sense. The Lantern is right in
offensive; but really we cannot use
any other word. We see the whole
controversy like this: In the first
place there Is not a great deal OF rea-
son for the establishment Of another
United States court house just now.
II such a court house should be estab-
lished, or another place fixed for the
holding of sessions of the district
court, Rock Hill presents every ad-
vantage that Chester can present.
Rock Hill has more population, also.
Mr.. Finley promised Rock Hill at a
time when Rock Hill was the only ap-
plicant for this advantage, and there
has been no change in conditions. We
have been unable to see in all this
row a great deal beyond a fight of the
politicians against Mr.. Finley, and we
think the politicians have succeeded In
getting the Lantern just a little off of
what is ordinarily a most admirable
balance. We do not believe the Lam
tern really wants to do any injustice;
but somehow we feel that it is with
out a grievance sufficient to warrant
the fight 1t has been making. All this
we have seen proper to say on our own
responsibility, and in full realiza-
ton of the fact that we have very lit
tie direct or indirect interest in the
controversy.

better representative than Senator
Tillman is In the meantime, there is
no sense in continually nagging at
Tillman.
Possibly there is some satisfaction
in scratching Senator Tillman's name
off a ballot. We have no objection to
anybody doing so who might desire.
A man who disapproves him should
scratch him; but we think he should
stop right there. Nothing good Is to
be accomplished by asking others to
scratch him.
1t was Senator Tillman himself, who
first threw out the scratching idea, and
he did it as a matter Of shrewd poll
tics. Without opposition, six years
ago, he had no way Of stirring up the
enthusiasm and zeal that originally
gave him power. He baited his enc
mics therefore with the scratching sug-
gestion in the belief that his friends
would thus be enabled to work up the
more enthusiasm among his friends,
The expedient worked nicely six years
ago and it worked nicely this year.
The only issue in the present cam
paign is whether the state dispensary
shall be abolished. Senator Tillman
stands for it's continuance. He had no
way to work up interest except by
bantering the opposition to scratch
and in that way secured many vote
for the dispensary that would have
otherwise gone the other way.
OF course, Tillman is neither dead
nor bereft of direct positive influence
in South Carolina politics; but just as
the ancient Spaniards won battle
with the help of the horse and accou-
trements of Ell Cid, Senator Tillman
was able to stir up many dispensary
vote as the result of the antagonism
engendered by those who bit at this
shrewd suggestion and sought to pun
ish him by means of scratches.
Senator Tillman is not and has not
been an issue in this campaign, and to
undertake to persuade people gener-
ally to scratch him was not wise poll
tics. If the case had been left entire
ly to it's merits the dispensary people
would have gotten still fewer votes.
But Notwithstanding this scratching
incident and all the good it was to the
dispensary. still the voting shows that
the big wholesale liquor establishment
has got to go. and even 1t is not abol-
ished as the result of the present cam
paign, it will hardly be able to with
stand another general election.

followed each day by other attempts
more or less successful. AT the time
the attempt was made on Stolypin's
life two Terrorfsts were arrested in
the grounds of Peterhof palace where
the czar is quartered One of the
Terrorists carried basket of fruit
In which was a carefully concealed
bomb intended for use on the czar
at an opportune moment. Only the
extreme vigilance of the guards pre-
vented a successful elimination of
the plot. On Monday afternoon Gen.
Won Liarliarski, acting governor
general of Warsaw, was shot and
killed while driving in cab. The
assassin escaped. General Min, an
other high official was killed Sunday.
At Zamboff on Monday, police cap
tain, two gendarmes and a conduc-
tor were killed by Terrorists. In an
effort to mollify the Terrorists and
gain the support and sympathy. of
the peasantry in the coming cleo
tions, the Russian government on
Monday ordered the apportionment
of 4,5O0,0 900 acres of land among the
the peasants.

A CORRESPONDENT challenged in yes

Observer of Monday that the revised
version of the Bible 'is never heard
of any more" and asks for the author
ity for 1t. 1t was not supposed thai
the language would be taken literally
or that the supposed fact was OF uni
versal application. This is true, how
ever, and this is all that was meant;
that the expectation that the new ver-
sion would have general adoption has
been disappointed; and this: that we
have not seen a printed reference to II
in years nor heard a verbal reference
to II in still more years. II 1t Is In
use in any pulpit or congregation, to
the exclusion Of the st. James version

"ARE we morally insane?" is a
question that is asked by the Southern
Christian advocate in its issue Of Au-
gust 80. We are not able to answer
that question; but since the Advo-
Gates suggestion that the state dis
pensary machine should be left alone
until there was something better, we
have had suspicion that there is
something the matter with it. AS we
view the situation there is absolutely
nothing worse than the state dispen-
sary machine.

RURAL PoLIcE.-Some Of our ex-
changes are discussing the advisable
ity of having a rural police system.
The idea is a very old one. 1t has
been In operation in England and In
European. countries for perhaps more
than a hundred years. There nave
been demands for 1t In this country
at different times for many years,
but somehow 1t has never taken very
we'll. An unusual number Of out
RACES upon white women in the rural
districts by negroes during the past
month or so has brought this rural
police idea to the front again, and

THE CASE OF FORT BRowN.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt's policy In handling the
situation caused by the trouble between
the negro regular army troops at
Brownsville, Texas, and white citizens
Of that place, will be practically the
same that he adopted when citizens of
Indianola, Miss, made trouble for the
negro postmaster there several years
ago. In the Indianola case the presi-
dent ordered the postoffice closed. AT
Brownsville he has ordered the militia
ry post abandoned. General Ainsworth,
the military secretary Of the army, to-
day received a telegram stating that
the battalion of negro soldiers had left
Brownsville. Half a company Of white
troops have remained there to guard
government property until 1t can be
removed elsewhere. The white troops
also will be transferred.
A caretaker will be left to look after
buildings and grounds. General Aims
worth was also advised that number
of negro soldiers were under arrest and
held for the civil authorities. Whether
these arrests were the result Of identi-
fication Of the soldiers as those mixed
up in the recent shooting ARRAY Is not
known here. They will be turned over
to the civil authorities for a trial at
such time as the military authorities
are satisfied they will safely guard
them pending trials.
The department is not altogether
satisfied that 1t would be safe to in
trust negro soldiers to the civil author
tiles at this time.
1t is expected here that citizens Of
Brownsville will be soon pleading for
the stationing Of more troops at that
post which Is naturally source Of
revenue to the town. There will prob
ably be some official statement Of the
matter within few days, and the
president will probably make clear his
views regarding the treatment Of negro
troops Washington special Of August

We are inclined to favor the idea,

This officer can serve all civil and

It is doubtful IL the legislature to

The most interesting and important
race as showing the sentiment OF the
people with reference 10 the dispensary
situation is that for attorney general.
Races for the senate and house In
most cases reflect to q. large extent the
personal strength Of the various candi-
dates, regardless Of the issue. The
vote for Youmans was largely out OF
personal regard and consideration for
past services. The vote for Ragsdale
was a strictly dispensary vote and that
for Lyon was strictly against the dis
pensary. The result by counties was
oo fnllowa.
