following to say Of the dispensary
situation: What could be said
Of South Carolina" asked DR.. Cromer.
1T was no pleasure to him, he said,
to talk about the day Of her shame.
1t had been urged In some quarters, he
said, that there was no longer any
use to fight the dispensary, since the
dispensary law had been repealed.
But now was the time to fight, he said,
when the dispensary forces were on
the ruin. over against the example Of
Texas and Louisiana he placed South
Carolina. Fifteen years ago, he said,
south ECarolinians .az had expressed
themselves in favor of prohibition.
What did they get? They asked for
a fish and got a serpent of the dead
Hest sort. They didn't get bar-rooms,
but they got what, in his Judgment
and his opinion, was unshakable on
that. point-what was infinitely worse,
when 1t came to the underlying prin-
ciple They got the dispensary. legal
lied bar-rooms. It was urged that the
dispensary would decrease taxes and
support the schools, and the state told
its citizens by indirection, that 1t was
their duty to drink liquor to put down
taxation. The state had graded the
salaries Of dispensers by the amount

ing the sincerity Of the argument that
the dispensary was a prohibition
measure. He thanked God when the
state. shook herself Of the dispensary
system, and he thought the time had
now come when In all justice the leg
islature should do one Of two things.
In Laurens the dispensary had been
voted. out, but the dispensary had re-
mained on account Of the election hav-
ing been contested on technicalities.
In Chesterfield It was the same. and
one Of the grounds urged was that
white men had been intimidated by
white women. The legislature had put
burdens on the prohibitionists In re-
gard to election laws never before
known. He thought the time had come
to put the boot on the other fellow.
The legislature ought to pass q
straight prohibition law, or pass pro-
hibition law with a local option feat

sary people to get up petitions and
vote In dispensaries, IL they could. In

Spartanburg Herald, Saturday:
Henry w. Thompson, the Spartanburg
broker who was recently arrested on
the charge Of fraudulently using the
mails, and who was to have been CIV
en- preliminary hearing before United
States Commissioner Atkinson yester-
day, appeared and waived the prelim-
mary, giving bond in the sum Of $4,000
for his appearance in the United States
circuit court to convene in Columbia
on the 3rd Tuesday Of January. The
preliminary, which was to have been
held in the court house at IL o'clock
yesterday morning, drew quite
crowd of people, who were very much
disappointed when at the time ap-
pointed 1t was rumored. that there
would be no preliminary hearing. The
court room had been put in order, pa
per, pens and ink placed on the desks
and .spittoons placed through the audi
torium. The crowd gathered. There
were stenographers and reporters for
newspapers to take down every word
Of the testimony for publication. There
were visitors from other cities, and
good supply of representatives OF the
local bar. When Inspector Gregory
appeared and whispered something in
the ear Of rather important looking
gentleman. and the gentleman follow
ed him out Of the court room the ex-
pectant crowd knew that there was
nothing doing. and began to decamp
as fast as possible. Mr.. Thompson
was at his home on Converse Heights.
He had 'phoned down to know II the
bond could be arranged and sent up 10
the house for him to sign 1t. But TINS
was asking just little too much. he
was told that he would have to come
in person IL he wanted to obtain bond
for his appearance at court. He came
down street and in few minutes the
bond was arranged, and putting his
signature to 1t and having few words
with his friends he repaired to MS
home on Converse Heights. Among
the witnesses who were present yes
terday. and who will figure promi-
nently In the case were: A. j. GLOSS

CONTRACT FLUCTUATIONS.

The course of the New York Cotton
Exchange fluctuations Of yesterday is
described by a dispatch of last night
as follows:
The cotton market was nervous and
irregular today. Fluctuations were
comparatively broad, there being about
Is to 20 points between the highest
and lowest for the day, but net
changes were slight, with the close
steady at a net decline Of to points.
Sales for the day were estimated at
$50, 900 bales.
The opening was steady at a decline
of 1 to 8 points which was better than
due on the cables. During the early
session prices worked off to a net de-
cline Of to 8 points on the active
months under Liverpool and New Or
short on the decline and before mid
day prices rallied on covering and sup
port from brokers believed to be
working for the leading outside opera
tor After showing a net advance OF
8 to II points, there was a reaction
under realizing, but there seemed to
be a pretty good demand on a scale
down and the close was steady.
Weather reports were considered fair
ly favorable, but attracted little at
tention with the trade chiefly concern
ed about the attitude Of southern spot
holders, who seem to be refusing to
meet any decline in values, and q
probable showing of the government
reports on Wednesday. One private
condition report was Issued showing
deterioration Of 4.6 per cent for the
month and 1t was rumored that south
ern association estimated the amount
of cotton ginned to September 25th at
1900, 900 bales against 2,O44,000 bales
officially reported to the same date
last year.
Receipts Of cotton at the ports to-
day 39,06S bales against 31,753- last
week and 47,946 last year. For the
week 100000 bales against 22O,1ss last
week and 313.576 last year. Todays
receipts at New Orleans 1882 bales
against 6.718 last year. and at Hous-
ton sos bales against 1874 last year.

Discussing the developments of the

writer in the Manufacturers Record
attributes present conditions being
due very largely to increased financial
independence Of the cotton producers,

true.

had no thought even that he had a

for his cotton Is still fresh in the re-

SHIRKING JURY DUTY.
Men Evade This Service Who Should
Be Compelled to Act.

Be Compelled to Act.
A few evident and gross miscar-
riages of justice recently have stirred
up the discussion again Of the res
possibility for the frequent. murders IN
this state. All understand that the
chief cause Of murders is that murder
ers escape punishment, and thus muir
der is encouraged by the courts them
selves. But what part Of the court Is
to blame most? Some blame the
Judges; others the jurors.
Without trying to settle the quantum
Of responsibility that belongs to each,
there is no doubt that the juries are
largely to blame, because they allow
themselves to be influenced in their
verdicts by other considerations than
the law and the evidence-which Is
another way Of saying the jurors are
not always the kind they ought to be.
Jury duty is shirked by many men
who ought to be compelled to serve.
Because it Is irksome and otherwise
disagreeable, and Is sacrifice, men
avoid jury duty. 1t Is said that some
men refrain from taking out registra-
ton papers so as to avoid jury duty
because d IlldIl Ctll llOl Slb Oh q JeAS
unless he is a registered voter.
The law ought to be repealed: Some
might doubt whether man who dis
qualities himself from exercising the
suffrage in a general election, and thus
tries to dodge a public duty, is suit
able man for jury duty; but nobody
will contend that man who wants
to get on the jury for the pay that
is in it would make a good juror
and there are many such.
However it may be brought about,
there is no doubt the great desidera-
tum in the punishment of crime Is the
right kind of jury. With that kind
judges may be weak or vacillating, |,
lawyers may be sharp and tricky and
able: witnesses may perjure them-
selves until they are black in the face
as they are black in character-but an
honest, intelligent jury Is the terror OF
the evildoer. and is by far the most
important factor in the entire judicial
machinery-Newberry Observer.

 The junior championships have at tracted many entrants and will attract even more attention than some of the senior events, owing to the greater uncertainty of the outcome. These events are a new institution and this is the first time they have been held under the sanction of the Amateur Athletic union. While they were held in St. Louis last year in con- nection with the seniors, it was only in an experimental way and only few events were scheduled. Swim. ming authorities believe that this new class will arouse the interest of sec ond grade and newer swimmers, and the number of entries justifles this opinion.
