and who shared Mr.. Dempster's
room in the hotel.
Shortly after daybreak the

notified of the action of the local
authorities. Chief II. @. Irwin

Redd, of the local bar, who was

SOMETHING OF THE PAIR.
Mr.. Dempster is about .4O
years of age and is married, hav
ing wife and family in Ker-
shaw, S. &. He was formerly
connected with 0. z. Heath &
Company, cotton merchants, and
resided in Charlotte. For some
time past he has been travelling
for well-known shoe house i'm
the North.
Miss Foster is daughte of
Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Foster, of
Greenville, the fifth of eleven
children. She gives her age at Is
and declares that she has been a
student at the Sacred Heart Ac-
ademy, in Greenville, for the
past year. She has good face
and is rather pretty. She was
nervy, for the presence of half
dozen police officers at the station
house did not disturb her in the
least.
"Just let me get my hands on
that fellow Rager who had me
arrested and l will scratch his
face" she declared when some
one accidentally called his name.
"Oh, | could pull his hair good"
she added as she called TO mind

Renewing Orchards

orchards rather than TO destroy
them. He says that whcn an

does no, claim that all orchards
can be so renewed. The gist OF

renewal is not practical is that
type whose heads have been
formed at M extreme hcig ht

Garden Notes

After the middle OF Septem-
Der the planting season Is short;
however, in much Of the Gazette
territory several things may yet
be safely planted. Among them
Is some early maturing variety
OF English peas and snap beans.
The latter should be ready for
use in two months from plant
ing and the former in from six
to eight weeks. Mustard. tur-
nips, radishes, lettuce, onion
sets, etc, a be planted with a
reasonable expectancy OF Sc
curing satisfactory returns

columns about frequent cultsva-

When this is done the owner

REPORT THE OUTLOOK RIGHT.
Continued Prosperity Certain Without
Tariff Reform.

The president of the largest bank in
the Middle West writes to the New
York Times that "the prospects for
another years prosperity are as good
as they were year ago That seems
to be the general judgment of compe-
tent observers. With few exceptions
the men whose fingers are constantly
in touch with the financial pulse of
the country are agreed that there is
nothing in sight to indicate a slump
in the present conditions which make
for prosperity.
Would this same confident belief
prevail if the congress and administra-
ton elected in 1904 had been pledged
to tariff revision downward, and if
weeks of its tenure, actively engaged
in revising the tariff schedules to
meet the demands of "progressives"
and "reformers?"
Would the banks continue to lend
money as freely as ever? Would busi-
ness enterprises keep on enlarging
and expanding?
There is but one answer to this ques-
ton. The banks would not be call
ing in their loans, reducing their lines
of discounts and adding to their un-
employed reserves, just as they were
doing in the early months of 1898,
when tariff revision downward was
absolutely assured, in anticipation of
trouble sure to come. Business enter
prises would halt in consequence of
a money supply kept inside of vaults.
CONSTRUCTION, not enlargement, would
be the rule.
II Is fortunate for The country that
the party which carried the presiden-
tial and congressional elections in
1906 was not pledged to tariff revision
downward and that by agreement of
the heads of that party tariff revision
cannot come sooner than the spring
or summer months of 1909. 1t may
not come then. 1t should not come
then if present conditions continue
during 1907 and 1908. But, in any
event, the country feels safe from
tariff tinkering for at least two years
to come, and bank presidents can con-
tinue to say that the prospects for
another years prosperity are as good
as they were year ago"
1t is true that a revision in tariff
would cause a serious fluctuation in
the money market and that there
would probably be an uncertainty of
affairs such as we would not like to
stand after such a glowing period of
prosperity-Shoe and Leather World

President and Tariff.

If the president had desired to open
the tariff question he would not have
hesitated to do so in his recent mes
sage. But we find one of the longest
messages on record without a mention
of the word tariff. One paper, the Des
Moines Register and Leader, is of
the opinion that the president sup
pressed his tariff views because of fear
that some one would thwart his other
reforms if he opened the tariff. This
is the most ignoble motive that has so
far been attached to any one of the
presidents acts. Mr.. Roosevelt is not
that sort of a coward. The paper in
question simply makes him appear as
COW ard in order to maintain its own
contentious on the tariff.-Cedar Rap,

Washington, d. C.-The San Fran
cisco school controversy, growing
out of the segregation of the Japanese
school children in that city, has been

reached at the White House confer
ence Friday is that Mayor Schmitz
and the members of the school board
will, Immediately after the passage
of the immigration bill as reported by
the conferees in congress, abolish the
Oriental schools and again admit Jap
aneSe children into the white schools.

that if the bill is not passed at this
session of congress an extra session
will be called Immediately after the
adjournment on March A.

BUSINESS BAROMETER.
A Liberal Demand for Goods for
Spring Trade Is Noticed.

New York-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Despite holiday and weather inter
ruptions the volume of business is
well maintained. In most sections OF
the country the movement of mer-
chandise has resumed normal proper
tions, snow blockades being removed
but tardy deliveries still cause much
complaint, especially in regard to
grain. Retail stocks of winter goods
were satisfactorily depleted during
the period of low temperature, and
the new season will open under f?vor-
able auspices.
Wholesale and jobbing houses re-
port liberal spring demand, particu'
larly in dry goods, while at the in
terror there is a vigorous movement
of agricultural implements and other
farm supplies. A gratifying feature
of many reports is the greater
promptness of mercantile collections
Mills and factories have so much for
ward business that new contracts are
not taken except at full figures, and
there is dissatisfaction because ship
ments are not more prompt.

a Useful Siun Post.

With manufactured exports amount
ing to $700,O0O,00o in 1906-more than
twice the value tcs years ago under
a tariff revised downward with the
double intent Of reducing prices at
home and of enlarging our sales
abroad-the trade congress which as
sembles il Washington next week
will start with substantial basis 70
work on. The business captains who
are to consider means for extending
the foreign trade of the United States
need fall into no error as to whether
or not tariff revision downward is the
right road to the end sought. The
$700,000,000 of exports for 1906 ought
to be a pretty good sign post

A BLOW TO REBATERS.
A Federal Judge Delivers a Decision
of Much Importance.

New York-Judge Holt in the
United States court Friday handed
down a decision overruling the de.
murrer interposed by the Delaware.
Lackawanna & Western Railway Co.
to the indictments returned against it
last summer, charging the company
with having granted rebates to the
American Sugar Refining Co. on ship.
ments between New York and Buffalo
United States District Attorney
Stimson regards the ruling in this
case as a decisive victory for the gov.
ernment, inasmuch as it disposes of a
number of points that might be raised
in the future by corporations against
federal indictments alleging similar
violations of the Ilkins act.
1t is believed Judge Holt's decision
will enable the government to at once
institute proceedings against other
corporations hitherto believed unat
tackable and immune from prosecu.
tion. This belief is based upon the
action of Judge Holt in overrulng the
claim of the defense that the indict.
ment was void because of duplicity.
In this connection Judge Holt held
that the Elkins act supersedes to a
certain extent the so-called Hepburn
act. He finds that the proceedings
were properly brought under the Elk,
ins act
Judge Holts decision is based on
the fact that the Hepburn act does
not expressly provide that the repeal
of the Elkins act should release or ex.
tinguish liability incurred under the
Elkins act.
