REVERSE SYSTEM
ON OPTION LAW
MR. FEATEERSTONE GIVES IN
TERVIEW.
Wants New Law Passed-Thinks
Counties Desiring Whiskey Should
be Required to Vote it In

The State.
Mr.. C. C. Featherstone, considered
one Of the leading advocates for pro-
hibition in South Carolina, has issued
statement containing some sugges-
tions for his friends that will be Of
decided interest at this time in view
Of the announcement by Representa-
tive J. ". Nash that prohibition
bill would be introduced at the COM
ing session of the general assembly.
Mr.. Featherstone, in his advocacy
for prohibition, does not wish to deny
to those counties VINO may wish to
sell whiskey that right, but he thinks
that the sale should first be wiped
out entirely and the present local op-
ton plan reversed ;. that is, the advo-

Mr.. Featherstone did not. state yes
terday whether this would be plat
form for any of the advocates Of pro-
hibition, but it is thought that COM
ing at this time. the statement would
have its effect on. the candidacy Of
those who might desire gubernatorial
honors.
His statement is as follows:

they will mix with the negroes and
produce a mongrel race that will fur

oppose their coming to the United
States, because We, in South Carol
ina, can get no benefit from them, and
they will go to Oklahoma, Indian Ter

ing with our own people in its pro-
duction,> which means a lower price
and a financial distress to our south
ern people, who are engaged in the
production of cotton. We are now
producing all the cotton that can be
used at remunerative price, and the
effort of the farmers to control the
production Of cotton would be fur
ther complicated by their coming.
"To claim that these immigrants
would produce other crops than are
now being produced in the south, is
to claim that they are: more far-sight-
ed and intelligent than our people,
who have lived heIe for the last one
hundred years.
1.-THE editor Of the News and Cour-
ier has been more frank in his state
ment Of the views Of those who were
advocating large inflow Of immi-
grants in the south, than anyone who
has yet spoken on the subject. He
states plainly that he is in favor Of
anybody coming, who has Waite skin;
and that he is also in favor Of empty
ing all the houses at the cotton mills
of our. native white population, and
send them back to the farms and fill
ing the houses with foreigners. How
ever, he has given us no proof that
this policy will, in any way, be benef-
cial to our people.
"'The Piedmont section of the south
is now the most prosperous commun-
ity in the world. All our people, who
desire employment. are employed at
rdnunerative prices. The farmers
are prosperous and happy, the cotton
mills arc making good dividends on
invested capital, and we have brought
about this condition with our own ma
tive labnr Wlt;lou; any aid from i'm
migrants.
''Tn New England the immigrants
have gone into the mills and have
largely displaced the native people
who nave gene 20 the west and other
sectors cf the United States, and the
result is that the New England manu-
factu!c:s are not near so prosperous
as they have been in the past. nor is
the labor condition as satisfactory as

Canova, s. D., Nov. 9.-Seven ban
dts came down on this little town
like the wolf on the fold between 2

of rifles and shotguns and black
smith shop of tools, blew the safe in
the Interstate bank and carried away
$4,000 in currency.
Three explosions III quick succession
aroused the sleepors in hotel across
the street from the bank. Several men
rushed out on the street, but were
fired upon by the robbers and warned
to return to the hotel and keep in hid
ing on penalty of being shot. In this
manner everybody was driven under
cover. Anybody who had the temer-
ity to show light was made to extin-
guish it.
The village marshal fired upon the
robbers several times and was himself

He was not hurt and the bandits appar-

COUNTERFEITER ARRESTED.
Secret Service Men Make Important
Capture in St. Paul.

St. Paul, Nov. 11.-What apparent
ly was one of the boldest counter
feiting games ever attempted in the
Northwest was nipped in the bud
when Secret Service Agent Thomas
R. McManus walked into room in
the Union block, Fourth and Cedar
streets, and arrested man supposed
to be Ernest R. Workman of Winni-
peg, and secured $40, 1000 in counter
felt money. 1t was one of the clev-
crest pieces Of detective work that
has come to light for some time, and
likewise one of the biggest catches
ever made by the secret service de-
partment in this section.
When Agent McManus grabbed
Workman's arm, the suitcase that he
carried in his left hand dropped to the
floor. This was opened and in it were
found 1000 $40 gold certificates. The
certificates had not been quite finish
ed. Only a few minor details were
lacking, and the counterfeits could
have been passed upon many people
in the condition that the officers
found them.

Getting Ratons Into Korea Before In
vading That Country.
When the celebrated Japanese soldier
Hideyoshi was making preparations
for his invasion Of Korea he was ap-
preached one day by the veteran Asana
Nagamasa, who engaged him in the
following colloquy. 1t is recorded in
Walter Deming's New Life of Togo
toni Hideyoshi:''
Nagamasa-What commissioned ar
engagements mad better be made?
Hideyoshi-Well. you had better get
ready 100000 koku Of rice.
N.-What is to be done with the rice
after it is ready?
H.-Use every transport that is to be
had and send it over to Fusan.
Matter landing it, how are we to
protect it?
H.-Don't protect it; let it fare as it
will.
Milf we do that the Koreans will
capture it all.
H.-Well isn't that what we want?
N.-But if we lose our provisions we
shall be in trouble
HIT is case Of 100000 koku. Such
a quantity Of rice is not to be carried
off in hurry. nor can it be consumed
in q short time.
N.-But the Koreans will carry it in
land.
H.-lf they do that, nothing could
suit US better. To get the enemy to do
your transport service for you for the
amount Of rice that can be consumed
on the road is good enough. By adopt
ing this plan our troops will always
find provisions waiting for them as
they advance.

-FOUR MEET DEATH

HENRY GlNNER AND HIS THREE
GRANDCHILDREN ARE THE
HAPLESS VICTIMS.
They we're Alone when the Dwelling
Caught Fire. They were Locked
in and Before Help Arrived all
Chance of Rescue was Gone.

New Ulm, Mimi, Nov. 11.-An
aged man and his three grandchild-
rem were burned to death in fire
that destroyed their home at noon
Saturday. The dead are:
Henry Ginner, aged seventy years.
Louis Ginner, aged five years.
Mary Ginner, aged three years.
Charles Ginner, aged one year.
Henry Ginner was an invalid, prac-
tically paralyzed by rheumatism. His
daughter-in-law, Mrs. Louis Ginner
left home just before noon to go to
her fathers house on an errand, and
in order to prevent her children from
leaving the house she locked the door.
She had not gone long when Mr.. and
Mrs. John Karl neighbors noticed the
house was in flames. They gave the
alarm, but when the rescue was at
tempted it was found the entire in
side of the dwelling was ablaze, and
nothing could be done to save the
victims. The mother was overcome
when she reached home and found
the house in flames.
It is supposed that the children
either played with matches or med
died with the stove and in that way
started the fire. As the house is on
the outskirts of the city and removed
from other houses, the flames we're
not discovered until they doubtless
had brought death to the four persons
within.

WRECKED BY

Two Terrific Explosions Shake tha
Surrounding Buildings and are Fol-
lowed by Fire Causing Loss Of
$4,000.

St. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 1.-Two ter
rife explosions that shook the sur
rounding buildings wrecked the Will
liam Burkhard sporting goods estab-
lishment, 319 Robert street, last night
entailing a loss of $50, fully COW
cred by insurance. Fire followed the
terrific blasts starting in the rear of
the building and burning fercely for
time.
The first explosion occurred at9:5O
bursting out the large plate glass
window and hurting cloud of splint-
cred glass and wood, watches, knives
and revolvers across Robert street to
the opposite curb.
A heavy cloud of white smoke
swirled through the gaping rent in
the building, completely shrouding
the street, and a blue flame reached
out in a solid sheet across the car
tracks. Two minutes later q second
explosion of terrific force again shook
the building, throwing up a cloud of
glass and wood and completely
wrecking the front part of the store.
The entire front portion is bulged
outword by the explosions and will
have to be taken down.
Two women had just passed the
store and were within fifteen feet of
the large display window when the
first explosion occurred. AS the blue
fire jumped into the street they
started to run and were last seen
racing across the Robert street
bridge.
The cause of the explosions is q
mystery. William Burkhard says that
every evening all the powder in the
store except that in the loaded shells
and cartridges is taken out into the
yard and stored in the magazine. He
says there couldn't have been more
than fifteen pounds of powder in the
store, all told, and is at loss to &C.
count for the explosion.

Changed Faces.

The nose lasts longest unchanged Of
all the features. The brow becomes
wrtnkled, and crows feet gather round
the eyes, which themselves gradually
grow dim as time rolls on. Cheeks lose
the bloom which cosmetics cannot re-
place and lips their fullness and color.
The chin, dimpled in youth, develops
angularities or globularities, as the case
may be, and the eyebrows become
heavy with the crop Of many years
growth. The nose shows no mark COM
