A School Closing.
To the Editor of The Dispatch:

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
The closing exercises of Mascedonia
school were interesting and largely
attended, Lexington, Newberry and
Saluda counties. The recitations,
dialogues, etc.. were well rendered
and a song and march by the school
was intensely interesting.
Miss Anna Derrick, the highly ac-
complished teacher, and under whose
supervision the exercises were gotten
up, needs no praise from this writer.
Her good work in the Mascedonia
school will be felt for many years.

absence after n service of several
years IN Japan and Korea. Stevens
was N one time secretary Of the Ameri-

Stevens says the Korean people have
been greatly benefited ny Japanese pro-

look more favorably on il. He says
the Japanese are doing for the Koreans
what America is doing for the Philip
pines. Continuing. he said:
You can get some idea of the condi-
statement that the government was
standing army. and 10000 yen on public
education. The people are divided into
Two ClasSeS-the peaSantry and the Of
fetal classes. The former were ground
down until nothing but bare existence
vas left from their labor. while the Of
fetal class was thoroughly corrupt.
The peasants have welcomed the Japa-
1ese. while the official class has not.
but even the officials are beginning to
zee that the only hope for the country
les in the reorganization of the old in

EASTERN SEASON OPENS
DESPITE THE RAIN LARGE
TURNOUT AT BENNINo.

Notwithstanding the rain the turnout
for the opening day Of the spring meet
ing of the Washington Jockey Club this
afternoon was very large The book
makers and assistants started early for
the track. and by o'clock the space
under the grandstand and betting ring
was packed with a strea ming throng The
pencilers had read a great deal about
police raids and wanted to be early on
the ground to make sure Of their footing.
There will be nothing doing In the
way Of arrests said Capt. DAILY to .
Star reporter when accosted at the
track. The bookmakers will only have
to keep moving. as in the past, and
they will not be molested." When asked
about gathering evidence for future
court proceedings, Capt. Daily had moth
ing to say.
A count of noses showed about sixty
bookies ready to do business. The track
was sea of mud. but it was not be-
lieved that there would be more than the
ordinary number OF scratches. as a big
ming going. and weather conditions make
little difference In their speed. II was
expected that the field Of seventeen en-
tries for the first handicap would be cut
to about ten. and the Arlington purse for
two-year-olds will feel the effect Of the
change OF conditions. as the entries are
above the ordinary as to class.
The Baltimore delegation was brought
over in special train at 2:15. and as the
ten cars were packed to the platform the
throng made itself felt when added to
the already large crowd.
The Pinkertons again have charge Of
the telegraph office. and everything going
out was held up at least ten minutes 90
as to handicap the poolroom contingent
as much as possible.

declared that tho ships of Admiral Evans

keep together OH their long voyage
About six of the vessels now with the fleet
have been in constant service for four

some officers is that for prudential reasons
II would be wise to put them out of COM
mission and give them a thorough over
hauling instead of risking them on the

Tobacco War Grows Worse.
LEXINGTON, Ky. March 23-Because
OF warning letters and visits from night
riders, many farmers in nearly all of the
forty-two counties OF the White Burley
Tobacco Company region are destroying
their tobacco beds. and at the present
time fewer than one-third of the normal
number have been started In many
counties huge signs have been erected on
buildings and IN high places nearby de.
claripg the intention OF the farmers not
to raise a crop this season. Realizing
that it will be difficult to make a living in
case the decision to raise no tobacco Is
adhered to. many OF the tenant farners
are preparing to move to other states.
While numerous farm owners have placed
their property on the market, with the
avowed purpose Of leaving Kentucky.
The murder Of Farmer Hedges in Mich
olas county Saturday and the raids in
WoOdford and other counties last week
have increased the alarm.
In the neighborhood of Mount Sterling
many farmers have received threatening
letters. with matches, powder and poison
in the envelopes. and armed guards have
been placed at the threatened points.
Conditions throughout the state are de-
clared to be worse now than at any time
since the tobacco war began.
