All the big gifts to education are
not made public. An anonymous
benefactor Of Princeton university
has made the management Of that in
stitution happy by a donation which
will enable the university to be en-
larged along important lines. That is,
the benefactor is. anonymous so far
as the world at large is concerned.
OF course President Wilson knows,
and from what that gentleman says
1t is inferred that the sum represents
one Of the largest gifts ever made to
any university. Sooner or later the
name of the generous donor will come
out, notwithstanding his modesty.
The prediction that 1907 is likely to
be a record breaker in the matter Of
donations to education is in a fair way
toward fulfllment February alone
has carried the figures to high
notch.

gree of science for a thesis on the alb

to the minutiae of every day. While
erudite gentlemen have been measur-
ing the saltatory efforts of the Arctic

edge have been digging from Patagon'
ian morasses the fossil remains OF
some monster with a name like a

ar has stayed at homo and rubbed a

ALMOST A PANIC.
Stocks at New York Take Another
Tumble.

New York.-Und,r the effect of
twenty-five per cent. money and the
generally pessimistic sentiment devel.
oped as a result of the recent heavy
decline, trading on the stock exchange
Thursday reached a stage of demoral
iZation bordering on actual panic.
A remarkable feature of the present
decline In Wall street values Is that it
was foreseen several months ago and
that warning was given, SO that brok.
ers generally had protected themselves
by requiring their customers to de.
post and maintain ample margins on
their trades.
The worst period of the day was
shortly before the closing of the stock
exchange session. although there was
an extremely violent falling off in
prices between IL and l o'clock.
New low records for the year, and In
some instances for several years. were
established in the active speculative
issues under precipitate selling. with
the market apparently without buying
orders other than those OF the bears
to cover their short contracts and re.
alize their profits. The closing quota.
tions showed the following declines for
the day in leading shares:
Amalgamated Copper, TN.
American Smelling. 16A.
st. Paul, 1871.
Consolidated Gas. Z.
Delaware & Hudson. 1914.
General Electric. 9k.
Great Northern. 5h.
Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste.
Marie. 6B.
Missouri Pacific. IA.
National Lead. 12%.

Pennsylvania. 6k.
Reading. 2OA.
Southern Pacific, 5A.
Twin City Rapid Transit. S.
Union Pacific, 20A.
United States Steel. 3h.
United States Steel. preferred. 4.
In most instances even these figures
do not represent the extreme declines,
as Reading closed two points above
the lowest, and Union Pacific four and
one-half above the lowest OF the day.
The total sales were 2,119.9OG shares.
the largest total on any day In the re-
cent trading. The announcement OF
government relief for the money stu.
alton was not received until after the
close of the stock exchange.
Other than higher money and the
generally bearish feeling. there was
nothing to account for the market 5
weakness unless 1t was the nervous
ness OF stock market traders as to the
attitude OF the national administration
toward the railroad corporations.
Just before the midday break
rumor was circulated and was given
considerable credence. to the effect
that banker who had just returned
from Washington had reported to his
friends that the President had declared
that his views as to the railroads had
not changed and that he saw no reason
to change them at this time.

EMPLOYEES Of the Southern railroad
have inaugurated a movement looking
to the erection Of a handsome monu-
ment to the memory of Samuel Spen-
Ger, the late president, who was killed
at Lawyers on Thanksgiving day.
The plan contemplates a contribution
from every employee who may desire
to help, and all the money Is to be
raised during the month Of March un-
der a plan which provides that those
who receive from 81 to 800 a month
give cent on each dollar, those who
receive 5000 a month will contribute
cents on each dollar; those who re-
ceive $500 will contribute SO and so on.
J. w. Connolly of Washington, d. c.,
is chairman of the general committee
and he has prepared for distribution
a blank which. when signed and sent
to the paymaster Of the Southern rail-
way. becomes a warrant for the sum
indicated to be deduced from the pay
Of the signing employee and turned
over to the monument fund. The
month of March has been selected for
raising the money because Mr.. Spen-
Ger was born in March and the under
standing is that the monument Is to
be erected in the plaza of the terminal
station at Atlanta, the capital of Geor-
gia being chosen because Mr.. Spencer
was a native Georgian.

Local Option,

AS we see II, so far as York county
is concerned. prohibition is preferable
to any form Of legalized sale OF liquor;
but we have reached a point where we
believe that it is useless to attempt
to enforce prohibition except under To-
cal option conditions.
York county now has prohibition un-
der local option. That is the dispen-
sary was abolished by a majority vote
OF the people.
This is now a normally prohibition
county; but it would hardly be practi-
cable to enforce prohibition even In
this county by legislative enactment
There would be too many people to
resent any such attempt to interfere
with their rights. People who want
prohibition don't like the idea Of hav-
ing 1t forced upon them by outsiders.
But we do not think that the passage
of the Carey Cothran law is likely to
change conditions in York county. A
majority of the people being opposed
to the sale of liquor under any condi-
tionS, would not likely take chances on
the dissatisfaction and corruption that
would be likely to grow out of the es-
tablishment of county dispensary
modelled after the big state machine
in Columbia.
AS matters now stand people who
want liquor have the privilege of or
dering II from the outside. There car
be no serious interference with that
privilege under existing laws.
The less ordered, of course, the bet
ter for all concerned; but one duty
that devolves upon every citizen who
has the best interest of the communi-
ty at heart is to use all of his influence
against illegal retailing.

If Senator Tillman had made ar
guments in behalf of the dispensary
last summer, instead Of confining his
speeches to denunciation Of his politi-
cal opponents. the institution might
not have been so In need OF friends
as II is today-Columbia Record.
Now. just listen! Who would have
dreamed of hearing such a reproach
from the Record? If Senator Tillman
did not do for the dispensary last
summer everything he knew how to
do, 1t would be interesting If the Rec
ord would point out where he was re-
miss. According to our view Of the
matter, except for Senator .Tillman the
dispensary would have been dead and
buried long ago.
