South Carolina Leads"
Charlotte Observer.

Charlotte Observer.
In our judgment there is not
a State in the Union today that
has better law, relative TO tn g
whiskey question, than S. G.. and
such question would possi-
bly, never have been obtained
had it not been for its experience
with the dispensary.
In that State the matter of
whiskey or prohibition is left
with each county. Any county
may vote in prohibition, or may
vote in dispensary, but never,
(and here is the beauty of the
law never, can any county vote
In saloons. In other words there
can never be saloon in South
Carolina.
In our opinion this State will
have gone well nigh as high as
possible when it passes a law
like that, unless each county
should declare for straight pro.
hibition.
AS bad as the State dispen-
sary in South Carolina came to
be, it led to the passage of law,
WHICH is ideal, law which has
rot an equal, in excellence, in
any State in the Union.

e. Lee is being extensively celebrat-
ed in this district today by the Con-

Hon. ]. F. Hinkle returned today
on the auto from Santa Fe, where he
has been attending a meeting of the
Territorial Equalization Board. He
believes that an anti-gambling bill
will be passed by the legislature, and
in view of the fact that oswell, Arte-
sia and Hagerman have set the ex-
ample for the balance of the Terrific
ry, is confident that the councilman
and representatives from this district
will support the measure. Referring
to the proposed county division for
the formation of new county with
Artesia as the county seat, Mr.. Hin
kle believes that our people must get
busy to defeat it. There is a disposi-
ton among those representatives on
the ground at Santa Fe to compro-
mise the Hagerman and Artesia prop
ositions by including both towns in
a new county. This will be explained
more fully and probably a meeting
will be called Monday to take steps
for preventing the loss of some of
Chaves county's very best territory.

New York, Jan. 19.-The news
from Kingston is still coming in very
slowly, and is "a hours late, but the
worst apparently is known. The
town itself is wreck, very few of
the houses standing remaining habit
able, and the people are living in the
tinue scarce, but relief ships are hur-
rying to the stricken city from many
quarters. The death list probably is
ly injured in hospitals about 500. Ma
ny of the injured are being cared for
at their temporary homes.
Dynamite is being used to clear
away the menacing ruins. Good order
prevails. Admiral Davis, who is in
the harbor with the battle ships Mis-
souri, and Indiana, was called on for
help in the work of policing the city
and he promptly landed marines VINO
are now assisting the British authori-
ties in maintaining order.
The e-twO lighthouses at the e1-
trance of the harbor were destroyed,
and approach at night is perilous. 1t
is reported that the Hamburg-Ameri
can steamer Pri1z Eitel Friedrich,
being unaware of this, ran ashore
near the Prinz Waldemar and Primes
sen Louise, two vessels of the same
line, which stranded near where one
of the lighthouses was located
No Americans were killed in the
disaster, although a large number
were in Kingston. Many of these are
now on the American war ships wait
ing for ships to take them home.

NO RELIEF FROM THE
FLOOD IN OHIO RIVER

Cincinnati, Jan. 19.-There is no
sign of relief from flood conditions
today. At eight O'Clock this morning
the stage of the river at this point
was 81 feet, having passed the nigh
water mark since that of Feb, 1884,

four squares from the normal water

from the la1d except for narrow foot
passages, and a few more inches will
close this gap, leaving the railroad
bridges as the only means of COM
