so far as Mr.. Arthur and Mr.. Hen
derson are concerned, we know very lit
tie about them We have personal ac-
uuaintance with Mr.. Mccullough, how
ever. and we consider him to be a mar
of integrity and ability. The presump-
ton is that the other two gentlemen
will also do the square thing. In fact
as masters and receivers in this dis
pensary case, we do not see how they
can afford to do otherwise. We do no,
believe any of them would want to dc
otherwise 1t is practically certain thai
the state can never win its proposed
appeal to the United States supreme
court. Then why does not the state
commission go right into Judge Pritch'
ards court, and get the evidence thai
it was unable to get while conducting
investigations on it's own account
The commissioners could not compe
liquor dealers living outside the state
to bring their books into South Caro-
lima. but Judge Pritchard's receivers
can get those books and all other evil
dence that may seem relevant to th'
subject.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

In compliance with the require
ments of law, Superintendent Of Ed
ucation McMackin recently sent in to
the state superintendent of education
his annual report showing the condi-
ton of the schools in this county dur
ing the year ending June 80, 1908.
The report includes quite lot Of in
formation about the schools, giving
among other things the revenues re-
ceived by each, the number of white
and colored teachers, the average sal
aries paid, the total enrolment, aver
age attendance, number and value of
school houses, branches taught and
other interesting statistics. In gen.
eral way the most important item Is
that of enrolment, which Is put down
for the various districts as follows:

Nioht Riders In the South.

The following is from the Atlanta
Constitution:
This night riding business is not 60
ing to be tolerated in the cotton grow
ing states Of the south.
Those who have any budding inclin-
alton to indulge in this sort Of in
quisitory lawlessness may as we'll take
heed right now.
Neither the cotton growers Of the
south nor their friends, numbered al
most by population, whose interests
are practically Identical, are going to
tolerate any recrudescence of this MUIR
derous, property destroying spirit OF
the middle ages.
The attempt has appeared in but few
spots in the south, outside of the to-
bacco districts Of Kentucky, and the
authorities in the southern states may
be relied upon to crush it in the shell.
1t is a work in which they will have
the assistance of the cotton producer
and his friends and, If the necessity
arises, which is not anticipated there
will be vigilance committees enough to
deliver the outlaws into the hands of
justice.
There is not a reasoning, thinking
man in the south who would for a mo-
ment credit the insinuation that any
member of the Farmers Union had
anything whatever to do with these few
outbursts which are being heralded
over the country in the effort to make
it appear that the cotton producer is
appealing to the shotgun and the torch
in the pursuit Of his purpose.
The statement from President D. j.
Neill of the Texas Farmers Union,
that that organization will not tolerate
lawlessness in any shape or form was
wholly unnecessary, in so far as the
people of the south and the friends of
the Union are concerned.
There is no room in the Union for
any who would resort to or encourage
such methods.
While we have not the positive evil
dence. rather is ii credible that these
are methods resorted to by enemies
Of the Union in the attempt to discred-
1t it away from home, and, by indirec-
ton. to attack it's legitimate business
efforts to maintain the fair market
price Of the south's important product.
The Farmers Union and it's men,
bership will be found first and fore
most among those not only to denounce
and condemn, but, if need be, to lend
active personal effort to the termina-
ton of this character Of lawlessness.
The orgy of arson and murderous as
Sault which has been Kentucky's mis-
fortune is not going to be repeated
in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi Tex
as or any of the southern cotton pro-
ducing states.
The people have no patience with 1t,
and If 1t shows it's head, the authorities
will not lack any Of the necessary as
Gistance or backing in promptly crush
ing it out.

closed In the October panic Of last year,
has succeeded in recovering his ground
to such an extent that Morse will be
able to pay all depositors In full and
have something left for the stockhold-
ers Morse's efforts to regain his for
mer financial position are regarded as
wonderful. Vast areas Of the state

- Columbia special OF September IT,
to the News and Courier: The gather
ing Of the executive committee Of the
State Farmers Union and county pres
idents concluded its session this after
noon. The following information was
given out from the meeting, which was
held behind closed doors. From re-
ports from each of the twenty-five
counties represented at the meeting the
present crop was estimated at from 583
to SO per cent Of normal, which means
that the state will produce about S00,-
900 bales this fall. Encouraging reports
were heard from the states delegates
to the national convention at Fort
Worth. Definite steps were taken to
complete the organization Of counties.
Marion will be organized next Monday
and Clarendon, Marlboro, Calhoun and
Aiken counties will fall into line soon
after. Secretary F. H. weston or the
Cotton associations, and President L. b.
StackhOuse, Of the warehouse compa-
ny, addressed the meeting on the cot
ton movement and the Importance OF
storing. A resolution was unanimously
adopted which requires all members OF
the Union to sell not bale until there
is advance from the present prices.
The minimum is held secret. Steps
were taken to place the Farmers Union
Sun on a firm financial footing with
$4,000 capital, and a we'll equipped
plant, the raising Of stock being pro-
rated among the several county organ
izations. The determination Is to make
the Sun a strong agricultural paper,
second to none in the country, and to
this end arrangements were made for
various departments Of the paper to be
edited by eminent agricultural special
lists.

system to be eradicated. House and
senate disagreed as to how this should
be accomplished. The senate insisted
that there should be no leasing after
March 81, next. The house wanted the
lease system extended to 1911. Finally,
however, house and senate compromis-
ed on a measure which permits the
lease by the state of any convicts not
used on state roads, nor by municipal
tiles, nor in state institutions. These
men may be used as the prison COM
mission and governor see fit but as a
close friend of Governor Smith said to-
night. when it was suggested that this
provision might prove a Joker" Gov.
Smith. you may be sure, is totally OPP
posed to leasing convicts to private in
dividuals and will never consent to any
leases Of this kind. The lease system
is dead"

of the fight on the speaker is the slogan
Of various candidates for congress
throughout the west, Il am opposed to
Cannon" and this battle cry is having
its weight and effect. Last week in
Minnesota, ]. Adam Bede, Republican,
who has been in congress for several
terms, and lieutenant Of the speaker,
was defeated for denomination in the
Republican primaries Of that state by
Clarence Miller, who received nearly
three times as many votes as did Bede.
Miller's slogan in his campaign for the
nomination was, Il am opposed to
Cannon's methods" With these forces
arrayed against him, it is not an i'm
possibility that Mr. Cannon may be de-
feated, although it is admitted that
the task is a large one.

THE Hon. Joseph Cannon, the GEAR"
of the house of representatives, has the
fight Of his life on his hands to be re-
elected to congress from the Seven
teenth district of Illinois. Since he be-
came speaker Of the house, Mr.. Cannon
has run the lower house Of congress
very much as he pleased, only allowing
the consideration of bills when he saw
proper and paying but little attention
to members Of the body that he didn't
care to favor. In this way he has gain
ed not a few political enemies in con-
greSs. and has brought upon himself the
ill., will Of a great many people of more
or less prominence throughout the
some time past there has been a bill
before congress intended to put a stop
to the shipment of whisky into prohi-
bition states. This bill was fathered
by the Anti Saloon league, and several
Of the religious denominations, notably
the MethOdists, have been trying to get
the bill before congress for considera-
ton. Uncle Joe is not in favor Of the
provisions Of the proposed measure and
he pigeon -holed the bill and despite all
efforts to the contrary, consideration
has been put off. These tactics of I'm
Gle Joe have riled the friends Of the
proposed law and the Anti Saloon
league and the MethOdists are after his
political scalp. and are putting forth
every effort to compass his defeat. An
other element that is fighting the
speaker is the labor leaders led by
Samuel Gompers. The labor unions of
the country have for several years been
trying to get legislation favoring them
through congress, but Mr.. Cannon has
given them to understand that their
measures were dead. Consequently the
American Federation of Labor and
kindred organizations are fighting the
re- election of Mr.. Cannon very strenu-
ously. Mr. Bryan opened up his speak
ing campaign about ten days ago, in
the speakers district and delivered
seven speeches while in the district, all
Of which were aimed more or less di-
rectly at the Gear" Another phase
