Il want to congratulate the News
and Courier" said Senator Tillman,
"on its new departure, after openly
and brazenly encouraging lawlessness
and resistance to the state government
in regard TO the state dispensary law
for thirteen years. Its editorials in
the last few days have indicated such
a revolution of feeling that am bound
to praise it for returning sanity and
decency.
Il note it says that the tigers must
at least learn to be good and that the
taxpayers of Charleston are interested
now in having the county dispensaries
conducted in a way to make all the
money possible
1T Is a matter of little concern, as
far as the principle goes. whether the
liquor is purchased by the board in
Columbia or by the board in Charles

sale by an officer for public profit and
in the interest of sobriety and good
order is the whole issue anyway. !
am delighted TO see that Col Hemphiil
has at last joined the Law and Order
League and that the policemen will
not be spies. as the cOnstables have
been called all these years.
Il had really expected the News and
Courier to encourage the tigers to re-
sist with all of their might, in the in
terest of obtaining high license later
on, but we will see what we will see.
Perhaps Old Granny will get to be a
strong advocate for county dispensaries
after a while. and if Farnum can be
kept from getting in his fine work eV-
erybody may be happy.

he knew he was drawing his bow long
when he said these things, but they
will tickle his friends. and ii is hard
heart that will grudge them little
mirth in this day of the senator's dark

not excusabe in saying at this time If

Mr.. MccAW AND MISS ANDERSON.

The Charlotte Observer Of this
morning has the following readable
story in connection with the marriage
of Mr.. William H, McCaw and Miss

THE BUILDING OF THE CANAL.-In
the sundry civil appropriation bin.
which has already been favorably re-
ported in congress, provision is made
for legislation which authorizes the
president TO make contracts for the
which, according to the Interpretation
placed upon II by members Of the
committee. leaves him unrestricted as
to the amount of money which shall
De expended under such contracts,
This Is a wise as well as an all-import-
ant provision. The gigantic task could
never be carried on successfully IN any
other way. The plan to place the au-
thority in the president and not have
to run to congress for adjustment Of
the affairs connected with the canal
work is admirable. The president.
under this section, Is empowered to
make contracts to complete the work,
whether the cost Is $130. 100000 or
S300, 100000. Congress thus relieves
itself of the details of construction and
caves the entire administration In the
hands of the president and the canal
commission. The argument Is made
much as no contractor would take the
canal work under the restricted appro-
priation, congress Is thus forced TO
give the president unlimited authority
to make contracts, or devise some oth-
er plan for digging the canal. 1t Is
said that Secretary Taft Is largely
responsible for the insertion Of that
provision In the bill, and his reoon-
was based upon q clear
knowledge of the entire situation,
backed up by common sense and good
Judgment.

WAR IN CENTRAL AMERICA.-A state
of war exists between the republic OF
Honduras and Nicaragua. Zeleya, the
president ofNicaragua on last Sunday
gave out the following statement:
I'VE went to war because Honduran
forces attacked our small garrison on
the frontier looting. burning and kill

1t was denied us: we agreed to accept
whatever decision the arbitration
court might render, but President

TAKING issue with an effort Of Tom
Watson to institute a comparison be-
tween George Washington and Robert
E. Lee, the Charlotte Observer, gives
expression to the following thoughtful
observations:
We have no sympathy whatever
with Tom Watson's attempt to place
Lee above Washington. Gen. Lee is
nearer to us, he suffered more with us
and for us, we love him above any
other; but the majestic figure OF
Washington towers out of American
history above all other men, and even
the greatest captain the English
speaking peoples have ever produced"
should not be forced into rivalry with
him. Such a comparison is peculiarly
odious. Gen. Lee revered Washing
ton above all other men in history,
and the soul of Washington surely
loves the soul of Lee. The homes
where in different generations they
lived were side by side and they were
growths of the same civilization-that
civilization which lead had no power
to destroy but which is now threaten
ed by gold. Feud between the mem
ories of these great Americans is i'm
possible. Even the professional icono-
clasts among US should put off their
shoes from their feet when they stand
upon the tombs of our mighty dead.

To OPPOSE SENATOR LATIMER.-It Is
understood that Representative Lever
will be a candidate for the United
States senatorship to succeed Senator
Latimer. There is no secrecy on the
part OF Mr. Lever in making this
statement, for in conversation with a
member Of the cabinet the South Car
olina representative announced the
senatorship from his state to be the
goal of his ambition. When the mat
ter was discussed among members Of
the delegation in congress their opin-
ion was that there might be other as
nirants for this honor besides the gen.
tleman from the Columbia district.
There will be a diligent and vigorous

EVERYBODY HELPED.
Mr.. Jeff D. Whitesides Thinks He Was
Given Too Much Credit.

Given Too Much Credit.
Editor Yorkville Enquirer:
In The Enquirer for Feb. 22, there
appeared an article in reference to the
work growing out of the burning Of
Mr.. j. L. Whitesides' barn, which on
account Of several inaccuracies TENDS
to give too much credit to me, and
fails to give to others equally deserv-
ing. The whole facts are that good
part of this whole section Of the coun-
ty was intensely interested In the
capture Of the guilty parties, and there
were probably more than dozen men
actively and continuously engaged In
trying to effect this capture. l did
spend some money and some time, but
several others spent as much and
some of them spent probably more
than 1 did. AS to the purchase or
mules on the part Of Mr.. ]. L. White
Sides only happened to be in York
willie on other business, and gave him
nothing but my advice in regard to
the stock. In the trip to Marion. n.
c., Messrs B. F. Scoggins and j. Meek
McGill, together with myself, consti-
tuted the party. Others made other
trips, and probably Mr.. r. L. Scoggins
really did more than any other man
in effecting the capture Of Jim Bryan.
I simply ask you to make this correc-
ton in justice to all concerned.
Yours truly,

The facts in the account referred to

we are quite sure, makes the record

THE fact that congress has voted
pension Of $40 a month to Mrs. Stone
wall Jackson for services. that her
distinguished husband rendered in the
Mexican war is another evidence that
the country is steadily coming to its
senses. There was never any real
good reason why Mexican war veter-
ans should have been denied the bene-
fits and privileges Of government
bounty. In seeking to punish Confed-
crate soldiers who had previously
served in the Mexican war by depriv-
ing them of recognition on account of
the Mexican war service, the Federal
congress showed a. smallness Of spirit
seldom paralleled in the history of rep
resentative government. 1t is easy to
understand how the present generation
Is able to feel the shame that did not
occur to the. generation before. But
this act of congress shows repentance,
and the country is beginning to have
cause for congratulation that all is
again getting right.

THE commission To wind up the af-
fairs of the state dispensary has al
ready discovered shortages in the
county dispensaries to the amount or
$4,000 and the work has only fairly
begun. 1t is quite probable. we under
stand, that the work of checking up
dispensaries may be placed In the
hands of the American Audit compa-
ny. This company, employing the
most expert talent in the country and
backed by capital sufficient to guaran-
tee it's absolute responsibility makes
business of looking into affairs of this
kind. It's principal business is to au-
dit and report on the financial condi-
ton of solvent firms and corporations,
and It's reports command confidence
and respect everywhere. If the COM

this or a similar corporation, there
would be no ground for dissatisfaction

SEVERE DEPRESSION.
Not Heavy but Apparently
 Urgent.

New York, Nov. 15.-The stock mar ket took on the appearance of quite severe depression again to-day and sold down for some stocks to new low levels for the year, The liquidation was not heavy, but it was apparently urgent, and there was no correspond ing demand to absorb it. The boar party was accused, also, with some bitterness, of helping the decline in order to profit from the necessities of the sellers. It was common suppcsi- tion that the process going on was what the market parlance calIy cl,ar- ing up of wreckage, meaning the sell ing out of accounts that had been car- ried through the late period of peril, or which had been taken over outright from embarrassed houses bv capital- ists able to carry them. A number of circumstances to-day also emphasized the weakness, although their immedi- ate effect was confined to individual stocks New York Central was the earliest stock to be affected in this way responding to the published re- ports of the formation of finance committee to consider the further financial needs of the company The United States Steel stocks continued to feel the effects of the growing evidence of reaction in that trade, and this was Iof cumulative effect on the whole list, owing to the importance attached to the iron trade as an index of general industrial conditions.
 Later in the day, the Hartman Pa cif1cs were brought into the line of de- pression by the publication of the earnings of the companies for Septem- Der. Net earnings of both companies showed heavy declines compared with September of the preceding year, in spite of the continued expansion of gross earnings. The increase in oper- ating expenses for Southern Pacific was 50 per cent. greater than the in- crease in gross earnings, while for Union Pacific the increase in expenses was twice as great as the increase in gross earnings. The tendency thus dis closed has become fairly general in the reports of railroad earnings for Sep- tember. Opinion on the general situa- tion was distinctly brighter in spite of the apDal ent gloom that overspread the stock market The depression was partly sentimental and associated with the tragic ending of the life of the for mer president of the Knickerbocker Trust company
 The premium on currency was in- clined to relax and bids were not in evidence in some quarters where the demand has made itself dearest in the premium operations. Estimates of the weeks cash movement indicate mod crate loss by the banks, owing to the continued heavy shipments to the in- terior, but an improved bank position is expected, owing to the lack of re- flection of the early gold imports in last weeks bank statement.
 Bonds were weak. Total sales par value s. 152, GOO.
