THE IMMIGRATION QUESTION.
Attorney General Disasrees With Sec
retsry of Commerce and Labor.

An opinion has been rendered by
the attorney general to the president
bearing on the legality Of the action
Of the South Carolina authorities In
bringing to the United States a ship
load Of immigrants for work In vari-
Gus branches Of industry In that
state.
The attorney general holds in effect
that 1t is unlawful for a state govern
ment to pay the passage of intending
immigrants or to assist immigration
otherwise than by advertisements.
In the South Carolina case $4,000
was raised by an association Of pri-
vate persons. by which general fund
was constituted for the encourage
ment Of immigration and out of
which the expenses Of the immigrants
were paid. The immigrants were
brought to the United States through
the efforts Of State immigration Com
missioner E. j. Watson. The secre-
tary Of commerce and labor, In ap-
proving an opinion of the solicitor OF
the department held that the plan as
carried out did not constitute viola
ton of the contract labor laws.
The decision came up for consider
able discussion in Congress, during
the debate on the immigration bill.
There was some dissatisfaction
with the ruling Of the department of
commerce and labor on the subject
and the department Of justice was
asked to render an opinion, with the
view, II Is understood, of determining
the soundness of the contentious OF
the former department. with the re-
suit above stated.

constitutional government, that action
will be the match which will flame the
whole empire into revolution. 1t is
not impossible. and many diplomatists
profess to believe that the czar's bu-
reaucratic and grand duke advisers
will compel the "little father" to order
the Imprisonment of the whole douma.
That will mean, according to the best
advices, that the fall of the czar and
his government will be the quicker,
more certain and more tragic. The
peasants are ready for revolution.
Among the embassies 1t has been no
secret that the revolutionary parties
have been smuggling large quantities
of arms into the empire. More dan
gerous than this is the disaffection IN
the army and navy. Certain high d.
plomatists in the worlds centers have
known for many months that large
part of the Russian army and most or
the Russian navy are ready to desert
the car and fight for the cause Of the
people. 1t is said the government has
been blind to these common facts. So
bold have the intending revolutionists
been, 1t is now learned that large bod
les have been openly drilling in the
southwest provinces. The Black Sea
fleet is wholly in sympathy with the
revolutionists, and 1t is believed ma
rines in the Cronstadt and other Bal
tic naval yards are not only ready but
have been secretly drilled to overthrow
their high officers and take possess
sion of those important military
strongholds.

AT THE CAPITAL.

representative Of The Enquirer
had occasion to make a flying visit to
Columbia this week, and although
principally on personal business, gath
cred few Impressions, that seem to
be worth printing.
One impression Is that 1t Is no light
undertaking to go to Columbia from
Yorkville and get back within twenty
four hours, but still it can be done.
There are two ways to start one by
way of Rock Hill and the other by
Chester The trouble with the Rock
may be an hour or so late, and If the
Columbia train Is missed there Is no
starting again until next day. By the
latter route, 1t Is necessary to leave
Yorkville at $50 p. m, and remain II
Chester until 1920 a. m. The South
ern train gets to Columbia somewhere
In the neighborhood Of a. m. and to
be right sure Of getting back home
that night it Is necessary to go on up
to Rock Hill and drive to Yorkville.
When you get to Columbia the first
thing to do Is to go to the hotel. There
are plenty Of transfers about, and they
will take you anywhere you want to
go. This writer has stopped at all the
different hotels at various times; but
Is now content to go to Wrights. 1t
is about a good as there is in the city
and there Is no good ground to COM
plain of the treatment received there.
The only part Of the city this writer
saw on this trip was that lying be-
tween the hotel and the car station.
He has a number of personal friends
in Columbia but had no time to call
on them or let them know that he was
in town. Such portion OF the city as
he saw gave evidence Of plenty Of busy
life. and there is every reason to be-
lieve that Columbia is still growing.
At the capitol the writer fell in with
several newspaper men doing the
administrative officers for stories Of the
days developments. On this occasion
they were especially interested in Sc
curing Attorney General Lyons opin-
ion as to the beer privilege question.
Just what the issue was, the reporter
did not undertake to learn definitely,
but from what was said by Colonels
Kohn and Banks 1t appeared that
somebody had asked Mr.. Lyon to
know whether hotel and beer privileges

THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

The county board of commissioners
met in regular monthly session in the
office of the supervisor last Wednes-
day, and considered such business as
was pending.
Mr.. ]. c. Kirkpatrick was present;
but because his commission has not
yet arrived did not participate official
ly. Mr.. ]. L. Rainey was on hand.
Several petitions for the opening of
public roads were considered and
granted as follows:
New road from Adnah church to
Newport
Change in the Pinckney road from
Mr.. Goforth's to the Chester road on
condition the petitioners would raise
$50 toward the expense Of making the
change.
New road from point near Mr..
w. M. Faulkner's to Enon church.
During the day the board approved
the bonds of Treasurer Nicely, Auditor
Hunter and J. D. LESLIE, agent Of the
Catawba Indians.

AEIER BACK TAXES.

The town of Yorkville is after back
taxes from the insurance companies
Since 1901 the insurance companies
have been liable for municipal taxes
on the gross premiums taken out OF
town each year. and no such taxes
have been paid to the town of York
vile. Looking to the bottom Of the
matter. Mr.. w. w. Lewis, town attor-
ney. has sent out the following cir
cular letter addressed to each of the
companies having business in York
Vile:
The books of the county auditor OF
York county, state Of South Carolina
show that your company collected IN
gross premiums out of said county for
the year 1905, the sum of $ and on
which sum your company was liable
for state, county and town taxes for

THEIR PAY INCREASED.
Rural Mail Carriers to Receive Nine
Hundred Dollars.

In connection with the increase in
the pay of rural mail carriers as
agreed upon by the conferees Of the
house and senate at Washington the
Atlanta Journal has an editorial on
the subject which will bear repeti-
ton.
The rural free delivery system has
been the greatest blessing to the
greater number of people of any
ernment since ii was founded. 1t
has made country life more desirable
and pleasant. What we need now
in this section of the country is to do
something that will improve the con-
dition of our public highways We
need roads. Only by getting good roads
can we enhance the value of rural
property and induce our people to re-
main on the farm. With telephone
and free delivery Of mail If all had
improved public highways no one

try, then you could have your church.
es and Sunday schools we'll attended,
then could the ladies go oftener to
visit their neighbors and you would
have social intercourse.
1t is we'll the pay Of the rural car
rier is to be increased. 1t should
be sufficient to secure the best class
of men.
In fact the pay should be at least
$1,000 per year. Each one should
have a good turnout and two horses.
The following is the editorial of
the Journal:
1.-The conferees of the house and
senate have agreed to the amend
ment to the postal appropriation bill
increasing the salary of rural mail
carriers to 5000 year.
IAN effort was made in the house
to place it at $S40, but it was opposed
in that body by Congressman Griggs,
and in the upper house Senator Clay,
who was member of the conference
committee, succeeded in restoring the
larger amount and as such it has
practically been adopted.
Senator Clay has been the persist
ent and consistent friend of the rural
mail carriers and has done a great
deal to perfect and encourage the
system. He states that within the
next five years this rural free deliv-
cry system will have been completed,
which is to say it will have been ex-
tended to every part of the country
where 1t can be established and sus-
tained with advantage. He adds that
the United States now has the best
postal service in the worlC.
THE growth of the rural free de-
livery system within the past few
years has been little short of marvel
Gus. 1t has made country life a hun
dred fold more convenient and at
tractive and thereby has increased
the value of property to an inesti-
mable degree. There can be no doubt

Escaped From the Lookup.

Fort Mill Times: Jim lizard, a negro
boy. effected his escape from the lock-
up Wednesday night in a manner
which for a time was a puzzle to the
authorities. lizard had been arrested
the second time for vagrancy, and
would doubtless have been carried to
York jail, but when the officer enter
ed the guard house Thursday morning
he found that the negro had succeeded
in getting hold Of a 10-pound sledge
hammer which had been left in the
hall and had pounded the hinges loose
from his cell door and took his depart
ure. 1t was thought that lizard got
the hammer by tearing blanket into
strings and with this and his suspend
ers made a loop and drew the hammer
through the bars in the transom ovel

is again at his former home a few
miles south of Fort Mill.

THE ability to stop rapidly running
trains in very short distances with alb
solute safety has been problem long
sought for by the railroads Of the
United States. Hundreds Of inventors
nave tackled the problem with but
small success. However, it now begins
to appear that the difficulty is to be
solved by the application of electric
brakes to fast passenger trains. For
sometime past the Pennsylvania rail-
road has been experimenting with an
electric apparatus made by the West
lnghouse plant in Pittsburg. Colli-
sions on lines equipped with the new
device will be impossible, so railroad
and electrical engineers declare. The
Pennsylvania people have equipped
forty miles of track Of the West Jersey
division with the contrivance and are
using one Of their largest engines with
eight cars in the experiments. Circuit
breakers are placed along the track al
intervals of thirty-four yards, and II
is claimed that the new electric brake
will enable engineers to bring their
trains to a complete stop with entire
safety between any two Of the circuit
points. 1t is claimed that last Tues
day the train while running at speed
Of sixty-five miles an hour was stop
ped by the new brake and the test met
every expectation Of the makers.
