BARS FALSE ENTRY
Of MINERAL LANDS

The new Commissioner Of the Cen
eral Land Office announced yesterday
afternoon that he had made a complete
revision Of the regulations governing
public coal lands. They follow recent
executive order. and the commissioner
says that he believes that under these
regulations mineral lands cannot here
after. 10 any great extent, be secured
by a system Of subteTfuge through other
classes Of entries.
Among other things the claimant alone
must make affidavit as to the character
OF the land: authorized assignments Of
the right to purchase under declaIatory
statements are denied; a coal mine can
not be operated for coal for sale prior
TO entry, and lands in coal areas as set
forth by the Geological Survey are 10 be
treated as prima facie coal lands so far
as entry is concerned.

A New Plan Adopted.

There is but little doubt that
Commissioner of immigration
Watson has now bit upon the
right plan to briDg a desirable
class of home-seeking immi-
grants to South Carolina. He will
through special agents and b!y
distributing advertising matter
induce the foreign element in the
Northwest to move to this state
azd purchase homes. Already Mr..
Watson is receiving nearly lOC
letters daily.
There are two strong points in
favor of the South that canDet be
offset by any inducements that
the Northwest can offer. They are,
climate and cheapness of lands.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
major portion Of the Northwest is
visited with billiards and covered
with snow about one-third of the
year, the land sells for something
like 500 per acre. In this state,
with it's mild climate and soil
that will grow almost everything.
land can be purchased from So to
500 per acre. Surely, if the matter
is properly presented to the peo-
pie in the Northwest they can be
induced to come to this section.
Edgefield county alone could
provide homes for something like
one thousand families

Echoes From Centre sprine,

The writer was prevented from
attending the great annual pic
mic Of the Edgtfeld Light Dra-
goons that was held at Ceutre
Spring on Thursday last, but upon
making inquiry among those who
were so fortunate as to be present
we learned that 1.-THE occasion was
signal success.
The crowd in the opinion of
some was not as large as OH for
mer occasions, while in The judg-
ment of others it was greater.
Suffice it to say that there were
q sufficient number present with
sufficient funds about them to
make the gross receipts of the
company nearly $500 Represen-
tatives from three or. four coun-
ties were there, and all-old and
young, grave ard gay-came away
greatly delighted with the day of
pleasure, fua aNG frollc.
1t matters not how we'll dinner
is served or how bounteous the
supply Oh such occasions, there
are generally few croakers and
chronic kickers who make COM
plant, but the writer, for one
time, has not heard the slightest
objection raised to the dinner or
the manner in which it was serv-
ed. On the contrary, we have
heard much said in its praise.
The music was furnished by a
very skilled band from Augusta
and, as heretofore, it came up to
the high standard that was set
by the Dragons years ago.
In the years gone by Capt.
Blocker and his men Lave had
their fame go abroad as very
courteous aud obliging hosts but
the picnic of 1907 has added
greatly to the prestige of the
company. In many respects it
eclipsed all former occasions.

Japanese a shrewd People.

The japanese, whether at home
or abroad, are very shrewd and
always have an eye to business.
Recently Japs have been caught
sketching and photopraphing our
coast Notifications, on both the
Pacific and Atlantic coasts. 1t will
be remembered that when japan
was at war with Russia the Japs
had maps of the country showing
every point of vantage and charts
OF Russia's Notifications. And
the world marvelled and wonder
ed how they obtained them. 1t
seems that japan is preparing for
war in time of peace by having
spies sketch and photograph the
American coast defenses.

Clemson Trouble Still Discuss

Clemson trouble StlA OiSSuoSS~
In spite of the fact that the
trustees of Clemson college have
"whitewashed" or otherwise dis
posed Of the recent trouble or
friction between the commandant
aud the senior class, the news
papers continue to discuss it. The
Anderson Daily Mail, whose edi-
tor claims to be thoroughly fa-
miliar with conditions at Clemson
says:
while we regret to say ii
there certainly must be come
changes effected at the college.
That is, provided the college is.to
be one of the high toned instltu-
lions of learning of this state"
The reputation and prestige Of
Clemson have already suffer d
on account of troubles similar to
the "late unpleasantnesa," and
if the discipline of this ipstltu-
tion is not more rigidly enforced
It will lose caste among ii he higher
institutions of this and other
states.

Next Legislature and Prohibition

Next Legislature ano Sronioitioa' :
The pending prohibition meas
ure in the Georgia legislature is
causing comment aud speculation
in this state rs to what the next
South Carolina Legislature will
do. In many parts Of the state it
is predic.ed that the next legisla-
ture will pass a prohibition meas
ure similar to the one about to be
enacted in Georgia.
The Augusta Herald quotes
Senator Tillman as giving utter,
ance to the f ollowing in an inter.
view last week:
.sCarolina is bent towards pro-
hibition of her own motion. In
dependently of Georgia action,
the people are planning prohibi'
sion. They are disgusted witt
county local option and the dis,
pensary. Not because of the want
of the dispensary plan. But the
state coull not successfully watch

boards of control can not be
watched. They have scattered tue

There are two distinct classes

the county dlspensary. The mayor

The retail merchants through
out the north and northwest,
something like 100000 strong, are
organizing to fight the great cata-
log houses. The most effective
way for the local merchants to
combat the mail order house is
for them to advertise and attract
people to- their stores, making
their patrons realize that it is to
their own interests to trade at
home. The merchant who buys
dependable N ercbandise and ex-
ploits the merits of his goods al
ways sells them. Has that not been

If the cotton farmers will dis
card the jute bagging and cover
their bales with bagging made
from cotton they will take long
step in the direction of their full
independence. Will they do it?--
Orangeburg Times and Democrat
The wonder is that the leaders
and promoters of the Cotton Grow
ers' Association have not advoca-
ted the use Of cotton bagging. By
using this form of covering for
the staple, farmers themselves
could create a demand for hun
dreds of thousands OF bales of
their own cotton.
