tax, but not a great many owners will
run the risk Of having their dogs kill
ed by failing to pay the tax. The pay
ing Of the dog tax involves quite a lit
tie trouble. The applicant makes q
written application for a permit for a
license tag to Chief Of Police Love,
and this permit must be endorsed by
the mayor and then in turn presented
to the treasurer, who on the payment
Of 81 gives the dog owner q leather
collar with tax paid tag attached

flour now, instead Of paying 81 or IS
barrel for the western product.

THROUGH YORK COUNTY.

Mr.. McDavd Horton who was in
Yorkville on Friday with Mr.. w. r.
Fishburne, in the Columbia Records s
good roads scout car, has the follow
ing to- say of the trip through York
county in the Record Of Saturday.
Between 10 o'clock, when they
left Blacksburg, and 1890, when they
reached Yorkville, the pathfinders
encountered continuous bad roads,
with several difficult fords and occa-
sional beds Of heavy sand. Many
miles of the way were as rough as the
worst the party had found in their
three weeks on touring In score of
Carolina counties, but the doughty
little Brush runabout pushed steadi-
ly on without a falter. During all
the 1900 miles, and more, Of cross
country touring for the Record, this
wonderful little single-cylinder car
has not once had to be aided. She
has come out Of the worst places
dinner at Yorkville and a pleasant re-
ception by the Messrs. Grist, Of the
Yorkville Enquirer. the pathfinders
at 2 o'clock took the road for Ches-
ter, going by the road which parallels
the tracks Of the Carolina & North
western railway, and leaving Rock
Hill some miles to the east. Rock
Hill is upon the direct route for tour
ing from Columbia to Charlotte, and
will be visited by the cars which map
out that route in detail. Fair roads
were found between Yorkville and
Lowryville. From the latter point,
within Chester county, the road to the
courthouse Is fine, most Of 1t being
macadam. At Lowryville the path
finders were met by an impressive es-
cort, the members Of which gave
them a hearty welcome and assured
them of Chester's cordial coopera-
ton in their work"

Charleston special of Saturday to
the State: Notice has been filed In
States circuit court by Attorney Cen
eral ]. Fraser Lyon and Special At
torneys w. F. Stevenson and B. L. Alb
ney in behalf of the state dispensary
commission that on August 9, before
Judge Pritchard at Asheville, a mo-
tion will be made for an order OF In
quiry as to the damages resulting
from the issuance of the injunction
against the commission some months
ago, which were finally set aside by
the decision Of the supreme court.
The idea of the state dispensary COM
mission is that the state is entitled to
damages resulting from the special
litigation made necessary in the ef-
forts of the liquor houses to force the
commission to suspend its investiga-
ton into the accounts. 1t was Judge
Pritchard who granted the injunc-
ton against the dispensary commits
sion starting the litigation in question,
and it Is interesting to await the ac-
ton Of the court In the proceedings
which are about to be Instituted at
Asheville.

SECOND CROP POTATOES.

The Progressive Farmer Of Ra-
leigh, N. c., gives the following d.
rections for planting for second crop
Irish potatoes:
After digging the first crop, the
potatoes that are intended for seed
for the second crop should be stored
in a dry, cool place. They may be
spread out on the barn floor and COW
cred with straw, hay or dry sand.
The second crop of Irish potatoes Is
usually planted during the latter part
Of July or first half Of August. For
two, or three weeks before planting
the seed potatoes are sometimes ex-
posed to heat and moisture which
hastens sprouting and may aid in Sc
curing a better stand. If the pota-
toes are sprouting at planting time,
1t may be we'll to cut them, other
wise probably it Is best not to cut
them. AS the weather is usually hot
and sometimes dry at the season the
second crop is planted, they should
be planted rather deeply in a we'll
prepared, rich SOIL Rolling after
planting is advised to compact the
soil which has been locsened by thor
ough preparation.

SPECULATIVE MARKET.

The developments Of the New York
speculative market are reviewed in an
Associated Press dispatch of last
night as follows:
An excited advance followed the
governments crop report in the cot
ton market today and while the clos
ing tone was barely steady, last prices
were 80 to 33 points net higher.
The market opened firm at an ad-
vance of 4 to 13 points on scattered
covering and bull support due to a
bullish private condition report and
continued expectations Of a bullish
bureau at midday. There was some
irregularity as the hour for the gov
ernment report approached and a
sharp break in New Orleans was fol-
lowed by a decline here which carri-
ed the active months off to within 2
to points of Saturdays finals. In
side of ten minutes after the govern
ments report was published January
contracts were selling at 1910, while
a little later December worked up to

THE Barnwell correspondent OF the
Charleston Sunday News has the fol-
lowing to say in regard to the convic-
tions of Kennedy and Boyleston In
the circuit court for Barnwell last
week on charges Of murder:
This week has been memorable one
In the annals of the courts OF this coun-
ty. Two white men, both connected
with some Of the best families in this
county, have gone before judge and
twelve Of their peers, and after having
had a fair and impartial trial, have
been convicted Of two Of the most
cowardly crimes committed in this
section of the state in many a day.
The public at large feels that manhood
and justice is reasserting itself, and
that the cowardly assassin from now
on is to be tracked to his lair, and
pulled from thence and have justice
meted out to him; that the courts OF
this county will protect a man and his
family from the coward who turks
around under the cover Of darkness
to do that which he has not the man
hood to do in open daylight and before
the face of his enemy. The general
opinion is that there will be more
healthy sentiment in favor OF peace
and good order from now on"

JUDGING by the dispatches from
Spain, it is plainly evident that the
Spanish government is at least very
shaky and as to whether the govern
ment as now constituted will go
down, is a question that is difficult to
present revolt in Spain, which has
caused the proclamation Of martial
law throughout the land, is the oppo-
sition to the war in Morocco, where
the Spanish forces have been meeting
with terrible reverses and losses; and
yet it was only short time ago that
the nation was insisting that the gov
ernment should not lose any Of its
influence on the other side Of the
Mediterranean, and to carry out the
expressed wish of the people in Nor
occo the military campaign was a
necessity. Had the Spanish forces
been successful against the Moors
there would have been but little
complaint at home, but with the loss
call for reinforcements, the fires of
revolt in the home country burst into
flame, with the result that the gov
ernment itself is tottering on the
brink Of ruin. Spain is made up of
a number of smaller kingdoms that
have been consolidated from time to
time, and some of these smaller
Kingdoms have never been reconciled
to the consolidation. Barcelona with
its large industrial interests and rap
idly growing population made up of
all kinds of people, has long been the
starting point for instructions and
revolts against the seat of govern
ment at Madrid, and with the unrest
throughout Spain on account of the
Moroccan war, it was easy to start a
revolution that would quickly assume
large proportions. But the trouble is
not all at Barcelona, because Spain
has always been notoriously badly
the government finances in low
state and NAL administration in all
departments of the country, she was
in just the right condition for start
ing a revolt that would quickly spread
its arms all over the empire. Alphon-
so mas not yet shown that he is big
enough to meet the situation, and
unless his various ministers prove
equal to the occasion and stamp out
tn" revolt before it makes more head
way, the present dynasty will soon be
swept away. 1t Is not impossible
that some of the European powers
with which the Spanish royal family
is connected by marriage, may take
a hand in the affairs Of Spain and
steady the shaky Spanish throne for
time at least.

THE tax budget of New York city
for the next fiscal year is estimated
at s156,O00,O0O in round numbers, an
increase in the past four years of
something like 33 per cent. 1t is a
we'll know fact that New York city is
the most extravagantly governed city
in the world today. A great deal of
this money goes out in the shape of
graft-graft that cannot or appar-
emily cannot, be stopped. But in this
respect New York is only different
from thousands of other cities and
towns throughout the country. in that
the money that goes to the grafters
of New York goes to larger numbers
and in larger quantities. In the small

more or less content with smaller

ways. Sometimes it is in the shape

New York dispatch, Saturday
DR.. LUX Wing, Chinese vice con-
sui at New York, a graduate Of Le-
high and Yale universities, and mar
ried to an American woman, was
mortally wounded at his office in q
lower Broadway building this after.
noon by a man Of his own race, who
gives voluble but confused and con-
Trajectory reports of himself In Pid-
gin English. DR.. Wing died tonight
in st. Gregory's hospital. He had
been shot in the back with a revol-
yer. Michael Mcdonald, special
watchman at the Chinese consulate
identified the murderer tonight as
Wong Bow Cheung, who he says was
formerly steward on the United
States battleship Indiana. The man
himself, who was first thought to be
Japanese, gave the name to the po-
lice as Matuda Woung, and said he
lived at No. 1915 Buttonwood street
Philadelphia. No rational motive
for the murder has developed. Nc
Donald says he believes the man Is
crazy. Nobody witnessed the shoot
ing. DR.. Wing had offices in the
fifth floor of No. IS Broadway. Ten
ants on the seventh floor say they
heard a shot and rushed down stairs
to find the vice consul and his assas-
sin scuffling in the hallway at the
head of the stairs. The assassin was
not caught until he reached the street
when two policemen who knew moth
ing of the trouble above but were
impressed by the agitation and haste
gathered him in.

- Columbia special Of Sunday to the
News and Courier: The hearing be-
fore Judge DeVore on August 6, as to
the transfer of Saluda county prison.
ers from the penitentiary to the roads
Of that county will be Of much inter-
est, as the result will doubtless set a
precedent for future acts along this
line. The legislature passed a bill last
session giving the supervisors Of Lam
caster, Lexington, Lee, Saluda and
Bamberg the right to call upon the
superintendent of the penitentiary for
certain convicts in order that work
might be done on the roads Of these
counties. The bill was passed with
out discussion. But 1t now appears
that the supervisor of Saluda wants
some prisoners from the penitentiary
whom Superintendent Griffith does not
wish to give up. The supervisor Of
Saluda will be asked at the hearing
before Judge DeVore exactly why these
convicts are wanted and the amount
of work they are able to perform on
the public roads. Even then they may
have to spend several years in the PEN
itentiary and the roads Of Saluda go
unworked.
