believe that he may be considerably
benefited by the change.

THE CIRCUIT COURT.

Because of the continuance of severa
cases that could not be tried under
the circumstances, and various dlspo-
sitions of the more trivial business or
the calendar, the court Of general ses-

the entire week and go we'll into this
week. fell through with a sudden jolt
last Friday afternoon, and the jurors
were discharged from further attend
ance.

EUROPEAN dispatches indicate that
the Balkan trouble is far from settled.
indeed, there are most alarming reports
to the effect that war between Austria
and Turkey is inevitable. 1t is all
about the violation of the treaty OF
Berlin by Austria, in anneXing two Of
the Balkan provinces that were to have
been held inviolate. The Balkan terri
tory is held as a buffer against the en-
croachment of Turkey on the one hand
and Austria and Russia on the other.
Austria is supposed to have committed
her aggression against the two prov
inces in question, principally with the
idea of distracting the attention Of the
people from internal dissensions. The
other European powers are interested
because they realize the dreadful pos
sibilities of a Balkan war, once started.
If Turkey and Austria come to blows
there is no reasonable probability that
the balance of Europe will be able to
keep out Of the trouble.

Now that the sentences imposed on
the Spartanburg militiamen have been
approved and published, we beg leave
to call the attention of the Anderson
Daily Mail to the fact that there seems
to be no longer any danger of seri-
Gus revulsion of public sentiment.
That the Mail was right in presuppos-
ing the gravity of a mutiny charge,
especially a charge of mutiny in the
face of great danger there is no ques-
ton: but now that the mountain is
delivered of its labor, there appears
to be little danger of excitement over
what turns out to be such a small
matter. If there is any issue involved
this is hardly sufficient to raise 1t. If
the public takes any issue at all it
is more apt to ask why it is being
taxed to support the militia anyway.

THE SPECULATIVE MARKET.

Following are yesterdays develop
ments in the speculative cotton marker
as summarized in an Associated Press
dispatch of last night from New York;
The cotton market was weak ano
unsettled today, closing steady at q
net decline of to Is points. Sales
were estimated at 275,O00 bales.
The opening was steady at an ad-
vance Of 3 points on December, bu'
generally unchanged, and the active
months weakened right after the cal
under liquidation and local bear pres
sure. Spot loss orders were caught
on the decline and it seemed to be ap-
pretended that some of the larger
Wall street bulls were reducing thell
lines. Early offerings were pretty
well absorbed and toward midday there
was a slight rally, after when prices
again weakened on rumors of an cas-
ier spot situation in the interior, the
low point being reached in the late
trading when active months showed q
net loss of to IA points. December
was relatively steady. The marke,
closed at practically the low point o1
the day, although there seemed to be
little better demand from commls-
sion houses in the last half hour. Be-
yond the rumors of easier interior mar
kets, there seemed to be nothing fresr
in the situation to serve as an eXpla-
nation Of the decline. which was quite
generally attributed to liquidation DJ
tired longs and local bear pressure ir
the absence Of bull support. CABLES
were about as due. Southern spo'
markets were generally unchanged tc
1-16 lower. Port receipts for the day
exceeded early estimates but were ir
turn exceeded by the days exports
and private crop estimates published
during the morning were below the
average estimate by New York cottor
exchange members last week, ranging
from 12,OOO,O00 to 13,O27,0 bales.
Receipts at the ports today S5,S8t
bales against 63,S51 last week and A.,
572 last year. For the week 425,OO!
bales against 436,1O7 last week and
373,627 last year. Today's receipts al
New Orleans 33,56S bales against 7,S4s
last year. and at Houston 22,92l
against 11,615 last year.

MR.. Taft has given out additional
assurances that the tariff is to be re-
vised. and Mr.. Cannon has made it
clear that he will not stand in the
way. There was some talk of defeat
ing Mr.. Cannon for reelection to the
speakership. 1t is pretty generally
conceded that Mr.. Taft could do so
if he wanted to; but there is no rea-
son to believe that he wants to do so.

Rock Hill, November 80: Mr.. Will
liam G. Reid, aged 67 years, head OF
the firm of w. G.. Reid e. Son, Con-
federate veteran, died at his home in
Hampton street today, after an illness
of some months from Bright's disease.
The funeral will be held Tuesday from
the residence.
Loss By Fire.
Mr.. r. K. Lowry, who lives about five
miles south of Yorkville, lost his barn
and corn crib by fire last Friday night.
The origin of the fire Is unknown, but
the loss which included practically all
the corn that had been made on the
place and a great deal Of cotton,
amounted to considerably over $1,000.
Beats Cotton.
Mr. w. E. Land has made careful
calculation as to the cost Of producing
his best prize acre Of corn, grown In
the Farmers Union competition, and
finds that he has made a clear profit Of
ffty-three dollars. In his calculation
he includes every legitimate expense in
connection with the production Of the
corn, not even excepting per cent
interest charge on the value Of the
land. The corn Is valued at $1.00 per
bushel.
Flowing BY Steam.
Rock Hill Record: About the big
gest thing near Rock Hill last week
was the demonstration on the Win
throp farm of plowing by steam-in
fact, there were two big things going
on at the same time, for there was
Big John" McFadden sitting on the
forward plow as happy as a king-in-
deed it was a big thing all round.
And the way that gang of twelve
plows made the dirt fly was caution.
The demonstration was in charge or
Mr.. McFadden, who is the local agent
of the Case company, who furnished
the traction outfit and the plows. 1t
is something new here, but is COM
monty used on the large farms in the
wheat and corn belts out west. The
plows can be made to go to a depth
Of fourteen inches and they cut
swath through the earth about eight
feet as clean as a whistle without
hitch. 1t is worth seeing.

The Maghaya's Greatest Pride 10 suo-

The Maghaya is born in an arhar
field and schooled to theft from his
infancy. He lives without shelter or
food for the morrow, perpetually NOV
ing from encampment to encampment,
chased by the police and execrated by
the villagers. His greatest pride is a
successful burglary and a prolonged
drinking bout his most coveted re-
ward.
Jail offers no terrors to the dom. II
u merely the result Of being bum
gler at his trade. The first attempt to
reclaim the Maghaya doms In Cham
parun was made by Mr.. NOW Sir E.)
Henry. He found the greater number
Of the adult members of the tribe were
In jail. Every police officer was held
responsible IL any doms were found in
his Jurisdiction, with the result that
a. soon as dom was released from
Jail he was usually returned thither
under the bad livelihood sections.
Agricultural settlements were estab-
lished for the tribe, but they do not
seem to have been very successful as
civilizing agencies. The settlements
serve as houses for the women and
children, but the men are seldom found
IN them.
The females generally hawk stolen
property in the villages and act as
spies.-Bengal Gazetteer.

plenty Of people on the streets, the
contrast of today and yesterday is
too striking to pass unnoticed. Most
of the delegates left for their homes
last evening and the Bismarck spec
ial pulled out this morning hauling
home a happy bunch of successful
Republicans. The Bismarck band
made quite an impression here and
large part of the final cheers of
the spectators when the special pull.
ed out were for the band boys who
contributed SO much to the pleasure
of the gathering.
The last words hurled at the de-
parting special as it left Minot came
from a small boy, but expressed the
sentiments Of the crowd in perfect
manner. He said: "Tell Alec that
we like him, and that we are all Re-
publicans now"

The speech nominating Gov. John
A. Johnson Of Minnesota for the
presidency in the Denver con-
vention will be made by Congress
man Winfield S. Hammond of the
Second Congressional district of Min
nesota. Hammond is Johnson's po-
litical mascot. He nominated Mr..
Johnson for the governorship for
both terms, and each time Johnson
carried normally Republican state
into the Democratic column. It is
proposed that Hammond undertake a
similar task nationally instead of
merely within the borders of his
home state. Congressman Hammond
is something of Democratic mascot
in his own behalf, also, for he has
gone to congress as Democrat by
defeating former Representative Nc
Cleary, who was one of the Repub-
lican leaders of the house during
his service in that body. Hammond's
name is one of local interest. He
was the attorney who defended Mark
Wadsworth, the Billings county
ranchman who was tried here num-
Der of years ago for the murder of
an employe named Ed. Severson.
Severson was shot through the body
and it was charged by the prosecut-
ing authorities that Wadsworth in
spired the murder, and that the ac-
tual shooting was done by young
boy named Fred Roehm, who was
afterwards sent to the reform school.
Hammond appears to have been a
mascot in criminal trials as well as
in politics for Wadsworth was ac-
Quilted by the jury. He died sew
eral years ago at his old home in
Madelia, Mimi, where Hammond
lived.
