SPECULATION IN STOCKS HALT|NG Following Rather Feverish Fluctuations In Late Market UNCERTAINTY IN MONEY Approach of United States Steel Quar- terly Meeting Also Had Repres-
 sive Influence on Large
 Stock Speculation.

New York, October 26.-The speculation . In stocks showed clear evidence today of coming to a halting place, following the rather feverish fluctuations of the late market This was a consequence of the persisting uncertainty over the money outlook In spite of the relief afforded by yesterdays development over the im- mediate prospect. It was a growing i'm pression in stock market circles that while the relief might be relied on to check the urgent pressure which the liquida- tion was beginning to show, 1t would not be discreet to attempt a renewal of important operations for the advance.
 The relaxation in the tension of the money market which came yesterday was believed to be due In fact to a slow ing up of speculative demands on the zmoney market and to be dependent on a continuance of a policy of moderation in that respect. The approach of the United States Steel quarterly meeting also was calculated to have some repressive Effect on the speculation, owing to the uuestion which has arisen as to the re- sponse the market is likely to make to zthe most favorable influences which Knight emanate from that meeting
 8 The increasing weakness was due to Nthis cause. The dividend action an- 4nounced after the market closed and the Jnet earnings accorded with expectations but the unified orders on hand were be- Flow the estimates.
 The money market itself maintained the somewhat easier conditions which the decision yesterday of the directors of the Imperial Bank of Germany to leave the minimum discount rate of that in- stitution undisturbed There was small accretion to the gold holdings of the Bank of England. enough to create the impression that the per cent bank rato would prove sufficient to accomplish the protective purposes designed by the series of advances in rate
 Importance was attached to the author itative statement of the Bank of France authorities made to the Associated Press of their opinion of the international money situation. While yesterdays report from Berlin of an intention of the Bank of France to take active measures in the money situation was. not confirmed by this statement. the assertion that such measures were not called for by the existing condition was reassuring and even more so was tne announcement that the Bank of France, with it's un- paralleed resources, '.is ready and even anxious should the occasion demand to

Some of the dispensaries are
now open. some to sell out what
they have on hand to go out OF
business and others to continue
until the Legislature takes some
further action regarding them.
There is much force in the argu-
ment that the present legislature
cannot honorably pass a State
wide prohibition law; that this
legislature IS committed to per
nit those counties that voted the
retention of the dispensaries, to
continue them. a new leslsla-
ture would be free TO do as It
pleased. but the present must IN
honor stand by their own act.
We think this view will be con-
sidered by the conservative pro
hibition element. but the politico-
prohibition element have blood N
their teeth and want to devour
everything but the chance of los
ing the Office they hoped IN the
band wagon to get.

vile County, the sum Of S1I.3o
which was paid under protest.
Now, as a result of this suit the
State will have to pay out a
whole lot of back taxes, this IS
the result OF legislation enacted
in compliance with q popular de-
mand against corporations. The
fact is that men appear in the
political arena, who tickle the
ear Of the masses by decrying
the corporations, and when they
get 70 the legislature, they must
make good, hence they have
passed an oct which purports to
the end cf all Of the woes Of the
people and make the corpora
sons pay the Piper. the corpo.
ratioas however are entitled to
the same justice that individuals
are, and when they find they are
being feeced, they will not stand
for it, and seek justice where the
demagogue IS without power or
saiuence.
Take the matter Of railroad
legislation, there has been a de-
mand at every session, which II
srati6ed, would seriously cripple
the railroads, until they could
relief from the courts, every
State that has enacted rate laws
have mad such laws declared un-
constitutional, null and avoid,
notwithstanding this, the effort is
made to get law upon our statute
books that have already been de-
cIared void. # the demagogues
could be seuelched. and kept out
OF the legislative halls, there
would be fewer bad laws, and
what laws are enacted would
stand.

BETSY And NE.

The survivors Of 1876 had a
reunion in Anderson last week,
and the occasion was the begin
niag of q permanent organiza-
tiion. Among the speakers was
Senator Tillman, and he gave to
the large assemblage history un-
heard of before. It was suppos-
ed the senator did his duty IN
those trying days, out few knew
that it is he who redeemed the
State. The general impression
has been that Hampton, the Has
kells, Gary, Butler. Connor,
NOISE, George Tillman. and a
host of others. Then there were
Shepperd, Wallace, Murray, You
mans, Woodward, and the coun-
~ leaders ali over the State. that
we're known to the people
throughout theStase, as the lieu
tenants OF Hampton, were the
men, and were heard Of then, out
not until along about 1881 did
Tiliman loom into notoriety. His
modesty of course, restrained him
from breaking into fame before,
and well is it for the history OF
the State that the survivors had
the Anderson meeting. or pos
terity, would have failed to have
given the brain Of the movement
which redeemed the State from
radical rule, the credit he claims.
The Senator's speech has Betsy

doubt, If questioned closely, he

well to keep his heroism from
being made public at the time.

HE Is TIE TRUST.

Eartwell Aver in the Florence
Times says '' A committee OF
friends waited on The TINES ed
itoy to know whether the editor
was the whiskey trust or just one
Of the hireli.gs." Now Brother
aver confess, are you not the
whiskey trust itself? # not:
where did you get that immense
girth yea are hauling around
Florence2And too where did those
diamonds come from that you
sporsed around in the Legislature.
You cannot throw dust IN the eyes
Of the people of Florence any
longer, by saying there is moth
ing about you that looks like the
rich and powerful trust. Fool
whoe We delight in exposing
editor Aver, by charging him,
not with being one of the hire
lins of the whiskey trust, but
the whole thing himself.
We are looking for the head
quarters Of this trust, land every
where we look the signs point to
the mail order concerns, who are
very much alive in their interest
TO have South Carolina as dry as
a bone. We have heard it init
mated that the mail order CON
Germs contribute literally to the
cause of financing prohibition,
but we cannot get hold of con-
yicting evidence, nevertheless
there is much probability Of
the one as the other. All the
same it does not prove that
Hartwell Aver of the Florence
Times is not the thing, octopus,
or the whiskey trust.
