SOME of the state societies having
headquarters in New York, are plan
ming a permanent national fair to con-
tain exhibits from every state in the
Union, to be housed in a $14,000,000
building. The idea is to have a con-
tinuous exposition, showing the best
features of all the great fairs Of the
past and also showing exhibits-com-
mercial, agricultural, literary, etc,
from each of the states, and each
state society to have it's own club
rooms. A great banquet hall to be
used for receptions, lectures, dinners,
etc, will be a feature. AS each state
society will have it's headquarters in
the proposed building, the various
states and its industries will be
brought continuously before the thou
sands upon thousands Of American
and European visitors to New York.
Congress will, at it's next session, be
asked to contribute $5,000,000 to the
project and it is proposed to ask the
legislatures of the different states to
appropriate various sums to the un-
dertaking 1t is argued that as the
various states have frequently con-
tributed large sums for temporary
buildings at expositiOns, it should not
be difficult to obtain appropriations
for a permanent institution such as
the proposed interstate fair to be
located in the metropolis.

the Clarke Bros. people are only asking
to be allowed to do what the Richland
distillery is doing but we are not
prepared to endorse any Of its insin-
uations as to ulterior motives on the
part of the general assembly.
However, If it is a fact that the
Richland distillery is enjoying any
special advantage over outside COM
petitors, it should be the duty Of the
general assembly to regulate the mat
ter without delay.
AS to what is the best solution of
the situation, we are unable to say at
this time. We do not feel kindly to-
ward the Richland distillery or any
other distillery, for that matter; but
as we see it, if the Richland distillery
is to continue to manufacture liquor
for sale to the county dispensaries,
the law should provide that other dis
tilleries may be established to conduct
the same kind Of business under the
same conditions.
Until it clearly shows its intention
to be otherwise we will believe that
the general assembly intended to be
absolutely fair and just in all the pro-
visions Of the Carey Cothran law, and
we believe also that at it's next session
1t will do the best 1t can to straighten
the whole matter out in q proper man.

there was no car there.

cinity. He is comfortably busy most
of the time: but is generally able to
keep well up with his work and Is not
coming in for much Of the abuse that
has grown so common against railroad
people.
A prominent railroad official some
time ago said to the reporter: Having
had so much cussedness to deal with,
have at times felt like discharging
almost every man under my jurisdic-
away" And the poor fellow looked
like he meant 1t.
OF course, it is possible that time

good days work when 1t made Con-
ductor w. A. Graham master of trains

Graham is a thorough going railroad
man who has worked his way up
from the bottom, and is recognized
from one end Of the road to the other
as a man Of unusual executive ability
He is we'll liked by everybody, and all
the employees have unlimited conf

them are willing to Inconvenience
themselves considerably for his ac-

pretty short order. then the problem is
not altogether a question Of efficient

John C., Calhoun.

Today is the anniversary of the birth
of John c. Calhoun. Special exercises
were held in many of the schools OF
the state to commemorate his memory.
John c. Calhoun was unquestionably
a great man, and in his day he reflect
ed credit on his state.
But it is to be hoped that the teach
ers in the schools in which the memo
rial exercises were held today took oc-
casion to congratulate their pupils up
on the fact that the principle OF Nulli-
fication, Of which Calhoun was the
chief exponent If not the originator,
did not prevail.
If Nullification had been accepted
the Union would have been split, not
into two parts, but into as many parts
as there were states. We would have
had a series of petty and misgoverned
countries instead of one strong and
great country today. The southern
states would have been owned abso-
lutely by a few feudal lords, and the
lands in the south would now be culti-
waited by black slaves and white poems.
We should be profoundly thankful
that the things for which Calhoun
contended did not triumph.
And yet Calhoun served his country
well. He was an able man although
an extremist. There were able men
and extremists on the other side
those who believed in a centralized
government-who wanted a govern
ment Of the classes instead of the
masses. They represented one ex-
treme view and Calhoun another ex-
treme view-both as opposite from
each other as the poles. Out Of their
contendings came compromises.
Not only the south but the whole
country would have suffered II there
had been no Calhoun to block the de-
signs of the Hamilton school Of states
men: and the experiment Of repub-
lie on the western hemisphere would
have come to an abrupt and sorrow
full failure If there had been none to
oppose Calhoun and hold him In
check.-Anderson Daily Mail, March IL.
We reproduced this merely for the
purpose Of endorsing what the Daily
Mail says. That John c. Calhoun was
an intellectual giant there is no rea-
sonable ground for dispute. He was
a great man, a good man and a pa
triot; but we do not think anybody
will try to claim that any Of the
great principles for which he stood,
prevailed. We do not think it can be
successfully argued that the country
would have been better off today If
any Of these principles had been es-
tablished. But still it is a fact that
John C. Calhoun occupied a more
prominent place in the politics Of the
nation than any other South Carroll
nian has occupied before or since.

Death of w. F. Caston-Mr. T. l..
Johnston Makes Interesting Cotton
Gal er;p,ant-Dar,o,,


correspondence OF the Yorkrille Enquirer.
Rock HILL, March 21.-A very sad
death occurred here today, that of w.
pneumonia. 1t has only been a few
weeks since his wife died of the same
disease and left a family Of seven
children. The oldest of these orphans,
a boy, Is also very i'll Of pneumonia.
Quite a good deal has been said
about the quality Of the cotton seed Of
the 1906 crop, which most farmers
would have to use in planting this
season. The contention Is that on ac-
count Of the very wet season OF 1906,
and the general low quality Of the crop
the seed would not be good, or at least
not so good as 1t should be. Mr.. T. L.
Johnston Of this city, who runs quite
an extensive farm, was so much inter-
ested in the matter as to experiment
on II. He sent to various places In
widely distributed localities, In the
cotton states and secured small
quantity of seed from each place all
from the 1906 crop These he planted
putting in one hundred seed Of each
in marked boxes and he also planted
at the same time a like number OF
1905 seed from his own farm. These
boxes, which were all the same size
all conditions as nearly Identical as
possible, were placed in the propaga-
tion house at Winthrop college and
results awaited. The outcome Is
plainly to uphold the prevalent con-
tention that the 1906 seed are not so
good as they should be. Fully 25 per
cent more Of the 1905 seed came up
and came clear and strong while Of
the 1906 seed. many Of those which
terminated are weak and yellow and
those who have examined the expert
mental plants are Of the opinion that
in ten DAYS more the percentage will
be still larger in favor Of the 1895
seed. Mr.. Johnston did not send for
any seeds beyond the Mississippi riv-
er on account Of fear Of the boil wee
vii The seed which showed up most
favorably Of the 1906 seeds were from
southwestern Georgia. The boxes are
to re replaced in the hot house to
further test the vitality Of the plants.

The Sugar Creek Bridge.
WHISKY AND CIGARErTEs.-T

WHISKY AND CIGARErTE5-The re-
cent edict of President w. A. Garrett,
of the Seaboard Air Line, that all en-
plOyees of that road must either ride
high on the water wagon or give up
their positions, has been reinforced by
a moral lesson that the new head OF
the road has drawn from the story OF
Percy Martin, the young man who
Is now serving a sentence or thirteen
years for the attempted holdup OF
Seaboard train.
President Garrett attributes the
young mans downfall to intemperance
and cigarettes, which developed the
Jesse James propensities. Mr. Garrett
has asked that the officials Of the road
give the story as much publication as
possible.
The story sent out to the different
officials follows:
"The story Of Percy Martin, the
young man who recently attempted,
single handed, to hold up and rob
Seaboard Air Line train in Meckling-
burg county, Virginia, should certain
ly be a strong argument In favor OF
temperance and anti-cigafette meas
ureS.
This young man by the constant
smoking of cigarettes and drinking 10
excess had undoubtedly weakened his
intellect greatly, and further distorted
his diseased mind by the dime mover
romanticism, until. fired by the worthy
(?) example set by Jesse James and
others of his ilk, he attempted to hold
up and rob a Seaboard mail train
several months ago.
'Of course, there could be but one
ending to such an attempt, and now
the young man is serving a thirteen
years sentence to mediate on the folly
Of attempting to bring into practice
impossible ten-cent absurdities into
modern twentieth century realities

A NCMBER of prominent physicians
Of Boston and vicinity make the an
nouncement over their signatures that
they have demonstrated scientifically
that the human soul has weight. The
statement is that for some time past
they have followed a practice of put
ting dying patients on scales and care
fully noting the phenomenon Of disso-
luton. Their testimony that almost
simultaneously with the last pulse
beat, there is sudden fall in the
scales from II to q ounces. The fall
comes with an uncanny jerk and 1t is
almost instantaneous. They are unable
to account for this change in the
weight of the body except on the the
ory that it is caused by the departure
of the soul. The matter is being wide
ly discussed.

Square Deal.

The action of the state dispensary
commission in refusing the offer OF
Clarke Bros. of Peoria, Illinois, to buy
the stock of the state dispensary for
5000, 900 on condition that the pur-
chasers be allowed to establish bot
Ting plant in the state dispensary, and
sell to county dispensaries is still be-
ing discussed by the newspapers in its
various phases.
1t will be remembered that while
some of the members of the commits
sion seemed favorable to the PROPOSE
ton, Attorney General Lyon gave 1t
as his opinion that the commission
would not be justified in accepting the
offer for the reason that it was with
out power to carry out the condition
on which it was based. There is no
question of the fact that the commits
sion has the power to sell the state
whisky for 100000 If it wants to, and
possibly it could sell for $500; but
Attorney General Lyons position is
that it could not give Clarke Bros, or
anybody else the right to open a bot
tling establishment for $6,000,000, or
any other sum.
AS a matter of fact, the people who
made this offer probably think very
little of the stock Of dispensary liquor
on hand; but it is easy to see that
$500, would be a small price to pay
for the privilege Of conducting a
wholesale, blending and bottling es-
tablishment, even if they had to pour
all the present stock Of liquors into the
Congaree before beginning operations.
AS matters stand, however the wis
dom or unwisdom of accepting the Of
fer of Messrs. Clarke Bros, is not an
issue so far as Mr. Lyon is concern
ed. AS he sees it, the Carey Cothran
act does not allow the granting of such
licenses, and that is the end Of the
matter. The question Of dollars and
cents does not enter into the PROPOSE
ton. And Mr.. Lyon is right.
The Columbia Record, which is Bit
terly hostile to the new order of
things, and which just now is more
often unreasonable than reasonable,
has made the point that the Richland
Distillery company is now doing ex-
actly' what the Clarke Bros, people
want to do and they are doing 1t un-
der the sanction of the Carey Cothran
law.
Our contemporary makes a very
strong insinuation that this favoritism
to the Richland distillery is not a
matter of accident; but that the gen.
eral assembly knew very well what it
was doing when it took care Of the
Richland distillery in such a handsome
manner.
The point of the Record is well TAX
en- in so far as it covers the fact that

Six PAGES.

We are giving our readers six pages
today.
OF course, it is not to be understood
that there is to be any permanent en-
largement.
On several occasions within the past
four or five months we have gotten
out six pages where only four were
due; but this was because of the extra
pressure of advertising which cut
down the reading matter space to a
point beyond what we thought was
full justice to our subscribers. There
is no special reason for the extra two
pages today except that we desire to
give them purely as a matter Of COM
pliment.
The two extra pages today are made
up principally of double installment
of the Partisan, now being followed
with much pleasure and interest by
many of our readers and by a pretty
