The Charleston Post, which Is in
for wiping out the dispensary and re-
establishing saloons, says liable anti
dispensary lawyers, members Of the
senate and house, are now preparing
a strong bill, carefully worked out SO
that all constitutional requirements
will be met, to be introduced into the
Legislature early in it's session, to fol-
low and cooperate with the report
OF the investigation committee and
there Is every chance the trainers think
OF knocking the ~dispensary out fol

The Post goes on TO say that sit is
expected the report of the %inyestiga-
ting committee, a strong Indictment
against the liquor laws Of South Car.
DINA will pillow a road through the
Legislature for the passage of the
anti dispensary bill now in a state OF
completion. This new bill is locked
upon by its designers as a model ma
thine for the smashing of the rum
shop. 1t will be u fast measure, re-
garded by it's friends as too swift for
the liquor men TO cope with,
1t Is proposed by the anti-dispen'
sary forces to pass a bill that will
comply with the general wishes of
the voters. 1t will throw off the
shackles of the state dispensary, and
present each county with an option
for a ~dispensary, prohibition, or high
license law, as desired. Gov Ansel
will, of course be RICH behind the bill
because he was elected by it's friends,
and the trainers figure out that they
are going up to ride through the

How to Make Uorn.

In The State Of last Sunday week
Mr.. James Henry Rice gives the ties.
timony of q number Of farmers in
the Pee Dee section in regard to their
success in raising corn under the plan
recommended by Mr.. e. M. William
son.. The Darlington News says
when Mr. Williamson first published
his method Of cultivating corn there
were many who doubted whether 1t
would really do what he claimed for
1t, They knew that theory and prac.
tice are often very wide apart-but
enough farmers have raised corn
the past season according to Mr..
Williamson's formula to prove on
clusively that the plan will work and
IS a decided success. Some Of our
farmers raised so much corn this year
that they pid not have cribs enough
TO house it and many others have
raised more corn than they ever raised
before on twice the acreage. All this
is very encouraging and should stimu-
late our farmers to further efforts
to improve their methods along
other lines. If the plan accomplishes
so much In Darlington and other
places where It has been tried, why
can't 1T be made to d the same thing
In this country.

Startling


The Chicago Tribune says the to.
tai of entertainments and kindred
thefts for 1906 amounts to $14 ,739, 653,
about IS, 200, 900 more than last year.
OF this total $40, 745, 1886 was stolen by
officials of banks, 81 ,6S4 1854 by public
officials other than postonlce employees,
822,585 by the latter, $379,571 by
agents, $243, 100 from loan associa-
lions, 1928 ,687 by means of forgeries
and the other defalcations amounting
TO 81 ,428, 500, were SO varied in their
nature that they must be classed as
miscellaneous.
The comparison with last year is
not so much to the discredit of this
year when 1t is remembered that
more than $4,000 900 OF the money
embezxled was taken by three men
n in Chicago, one in Philadelphia
and one in Cuba, the agent OF a New
York house. In each of these three
cases the figures represent the total
OF many years of stealing which was
discovered only this year. 1t Is unfair
to charge it all against the year 10C6.
A better compassion will be made
with the years 1894 to 1897. In 1894
the embellishments, ETC., amounted to
S25 ,234 ,1l2, for the next three years
averaged over $1O,OOO,oCo g year. The
reason for the losses of 1894
was the consequence Of the panic of
the year before, but 1T must be re-
membered that the money in banks
at that time was only about half as
much as at present, If the percentage
loss is considered, the year 1905 is
Distinctly better than 1896, 1896 or
1897, although the loss in dollars is
greater Than any year since 1894.
