THE Federal government having
erected a $4,000 monument to COM
memorate the battle Of Kings Noun
tain, can hardly be expected to do any
thing more. 1t is the policy of the ma
tional government not to undertake the
maintenance Of Revolutionary battle
fields. 1t looks after the civil war bat
tlefields all right; but leaves Revolu-
tionary battlefields to the state gov
ernments and patriotic societies. But
something ought to be done to make
Kings Mountain Battlefield COM
Portable and pleasing, as well as at
tractive to visitors, and We do not SEE
any better way for it than through a
legislative appropriation from the
state Of South Carolina.

the service, the request was granted.
The people of Fort Mill and surround
ing country deeply regret that Mr..
Reayes and his excellent family are to
move away, but coupled with this re-
gret Is the fond hope that In their
new home they may meet with much
happiness and prosperity.
Where the Start Was Made.
A short distance out from Johnson
City on the line of the railroad lead
ing to the Cranberry mines In this
state, says the Charlotte Chronicle, Is
located Sycamore Shoals. This place
Is pointed out to the visitor as the spot
where the mountain men forded the
Watauga river, on their way to the
battle of Kings Mountain. Sycamore
Shoals is regarded as an historic spot
and Is to be marked with q monument,
and very appropriately, this monument
Is to be dedicated on October 7, sim
ultaneously with the dedication Of the
monument at Kings Mountain. The
Sycamore Shoals monument was
erected by the Bonny Kate Chapter D.
A. R. The site chosen for It, we are
told, by the Johnson City Staff, is at
the place where the men, under Sewer,
Shelby and Campbell formed on their
way to the battle OF Kings Mountain.
On Sunday, September 25, 1880, Rev.
Samuel Doak preached a sermon to
the army which started on its journey
the following day, September 26. The
monument Is about twelve feet high,
the base Of Tennessee marble and the
shaft, fiat slabs peculiar to the Mol
ichucky river, which are formed Of a
brick sediment, and are fiat and cir
cular The inscriptions of the monu-
ment were entrusted to Bonny Kate
chapter On the face Of the base,
fronting the river will be the figures
1780-1909, and the words, Erected by
Sycamore Shoals, Bonny Kate and
John Sewer Chapters, d. A. R, Sep
tember 26th, 1909. The sword Of the
Lord and Of Gideon" On another side
will be: Fort Watauga, the first set
tiers fort b-ilt west Of the Allie
gheny, 1770." On the west side will
be inscribed: Here was negotiated the
treaty of Sycamore Shoals under
which Trannsylyania was acquired
from the Cherokee, March 10, 1775.'
The simultaneous commemoration OF
these two Revolutionary events Is 9
happy circumstance, and from Kings
Mountain greetings will be sent tc
Bonny Kate chapter.

New York, September 80: The
October cotton report of the Journal
of Commerce to be published tomorrow
shows the condition of the staple on
an average date of September %, as
1,600 special correspondents, to be
595 against sc a month ago, a dete-
rioration of 6.5 points. While the de-
cline in September is about normal,
the condition Of 59.5 Is the lowest
since the inauguration Of the Jour-
nails report in 1901. The crop had eX-
perienced a series of Setbacks during
the month and the West Indian hurri-
cane of September 20 and 81, lowered
prospects still further. Louisiana ap-
parently suffered most, but Arkansas
and Tennessee Jared better. Alabama
was but slightly injured DrouShty
conditions which prevailed through
August and made such damage in Tex
as, Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklaho-
ma were only relieved in September
in a degree and the declines in these
states were due largely to this case.
Top crop prospects are very poor,
drought and storms being the chief
cause Of this condition. Insects have
given little trouble and labor has been
sufficient to care for the crop. North
Carolina declines s to ITO; South Car
olina declines Sc to 71.0; Georgia 6
to Ill; Florida 5. to SIT: Alabama 5.

named Robinson testified at the In
quest, but stated that he knew moth.
ing of the matter. DR.. John Lyon OF

with Magistrate Rogers, saw the marks

1T is for the supreme court to say,
of course; but we are inclined 10
think that Judge Robert Aldrich has
erred in holding that mayors Of towns
are without jurisdiction to punish IL
legc' liquor sellers under town ordi-
nances. Judge Aldrich's ruling was to
the effect that because the statute
places the punishment beyond the jul
risdiction of a magistrate, 1t Is also
beyond the Jurisdiction Of the mayor.
But according to our understanding,
the statutes give municipalities full
power to regulate the liquor business
within their limits by ordinance, and
to punish violations of the ordinance.
1t has been a common practice TO pun
ish certain classes Of offenders twice
or more for the same offense, anc TO
infiict punishment in the same degrees
This looks hard, but the only way to
stop it, as We see 1t, is by statute. The
supreme court has not been clear on
the subject, unless we are misin-
formed There is certainly no more
wrong in the state taking up and fur
ther Furnishing an offender, who has
already been punished by town coun-
ell than there is for the United States
to punish an offender who has al
ready been punished by the state. or
course, the state has little to say as
to what the United States can or can
not do; but the principle is the same.
All three jurisdictions. municipal, state
and Federal, have claims against the
violators Of the liquor laws, and 1t has
not infrequently happened that such
offenders have had to answer to all
three jurisdictions. But whether Judge
Aldrich is upheld or not, it will have
to be admitted that there is an import
ant principle involved in this question,
and his decision is striking at 1t in
the right way. Any system that al
lows separate punishments under diff
ferent jurisdiction for the same Of
fense, is wrong In the meantime, 1t
Is understood the city Of Anderson is
proceeding against tigers the same as
before the decision was rendered.

CONCERNING the personnel Of the
Farnum jury, the editorial writer OF
the Columbia State says: "The writer
has been q resident Of Richland for
twenty-five years, and knew, by name,
one member Of the jury. An official
of Richland county, who has time and
again canvassed the county, informed
the writer that he knew by name, one
member of the jury. Another resident
of Richland for more than forty years
told the editor Of the State he knew
one member of the jury" This infor-
nation is as startling as 1t Is unex-
pected, and the question naturally
arises, where did such jury come
from ?-Greenville News.
AS to just how much Importance Is
to be attached to this, we do not know;
but to us it appears more or less sig
nificant. To charge that jury mas
been packed might prove serious af-
fair; but those who hold that jury
cannot be packed are absurd. We
know nothing Of Richland county's
clerk, treasurer or auditor, and we do
not feel warranted in casting any i'm

There was an extremely Sau euuluS W

Sunday evening. 1t will be recalled
that mention was made in these col

would probably accept the call. Mem.
bers of the Fort Mill and Flint Hill

insisted that their pastor remain with
them longer, but Mr.. Reaves. after
earnest thought, saw in the new held
an opening for greater work in the up
building Of Gods kingdom on earth,
and decided to accept the call. In
rendering his resignation Mr.. Reaves
expressed most tenderly his love for
the members Of his congregation and
the people Of Fort Mill generally, and,
with the announcement Of his inten-
ton to sever his connection with the

the eyes Of many Of his hearers. MT
