INDIANA HAS NIGHT RIDERS.
They viii Whip Those Who Pay
Landlords Too Much.

Might Riders" are terrorizing
land owners in the vicinity of Harri-
mans Ferry, Ind. William Schroe-
lecke, owner of 700 acres in that
neighborhOOd, reported that 20 men
on horseback visited all his tenants
and informed them that if they paid
greater rent than one-third of the
crop raised their crops would be
moved down before they became
ripe. Thomas Taylor, a wealthy land
owner, received by mail a package
containing powder and matches, with
note of warning of what he might
expect if he insisted on one-half crop
rental. A few days ago a stranger
entered a store at Ivy and asked a
merchant for a reduced price on all
the carriage whips in stock. 1t is
thought the riders intend to admins
ter floggings.

THE anti-spitting laws, but few
years introduced in this part of the
country are still somewhat Of a joke;
but not so throughout the northeast.
There the laws are very drastic, the
penalties in some Of the states amount
ing to fines of as much as $500. All
the railroad trains, the street cars. and
the public buildings, display warning
signs against splitting, and the people
of those localities obey the warning
In most Of the larger cities people have
to be very careful as to where they
spit. 1t Is a fact, however, that tobac-
CO chewing is not nearly so common
throughout the northeast as 1t is in
the south. Most tobacco users in the
north confine themselves to pipes, ci-
gars and cigarettes. The object of the
anti-spitting laws, of course, Is the
prevention Of disease,

right; decidedly the best seen in York
vile for a number Of years past, and
there was good crowd Of baseball
lovers out to see it. There were prob
ably as many as 400 people there: but
this estimate is not made up by count
ing the quarters that were given to the
collectors who saw to It, that all had
chance to help pay the expenses.
Counting the lovers Of the game at a

DISPATCHES of the past three days
from Spain give very little satisfactory
news of developments in the Moroc-
can war and the insurrection in Spain.
All dispatches with Spanish date lines
are being closely censored by the mil
itary authorities and it is hardly to be
presumed that they describe condi-
tions as they really exist, but these to-
gether with the cables sent out from
nearby news centres, enable the read
ers of the newspapers to sec that
Spanish affairs are still in a most de-
plorable shape. The Moors are still
giving the Spanish troops in Morocco
a great deal of trouble. On Tuesday
the tribesmen renewed their attacks
on the Spanish garrison at Malilla,
having been reinforced by $4,000 or
more tribesmen. To add to Spain's
troubles many Of her own troops are
mutinying and deserting their colors.
Many of the royal troops have been
killed and they in turn have appar-
emily been unable to do much damage
to the Moors. The tribesmen have
destroyed much of the railroad and
other property under the control Of
Spain. The Moors are concentrated
in the vicinity of Melilla by thousands,
while the Spaniards are cooped up,
unable to use even their limited num-
bers to the best advantage. In the
home country, according to censored
Madrid dispatches, comparative order
has been restored throughout the en-
pire by the most repressive measures
by the army. Several thousand strik-
ers and revolutionists have been shot
to death and wounded, the number
killed at Barcelona is placed at 1000
and the wounded at $500. The insur-
rection at home is due to politics, IN
an effort to establish a republican
form Of government and also to an
effort to place Don Jaime, the pre-
tender on the throne. Madrid author
tiles are claiming that the government
Of Alphonso will be able to control
ne situation and maintain its prestige.

AS MR.. FINLEY SEES IL.

Congressman Finley is quite empha-
tic in his views on the Payne-Aldrich
tariff bill, which he considers a most
unjust and iniquitous measure. At
ter the passage of the bill through
the house last week, he delivered
himself about 1t as follows:
1.-The l'ayne-Aldrich bill, which has
been under consideration by congress
since the 18th Of March, is beyond
question, a more Objectionable meas
ure than any tariff law ever enacted
amount to little or nothing from a
material standpoint. Free hides, free
oil and a small temporary reduction on
lumber and on a few items in the iron
and steel schedule are some Of the
largest reductions made. None of
these will affect the price Of manufac-
tured articles to any considerable ex-
tent to the consumers.
1T Is we'll known that the iron and
steel manufacturers Of the United
States would have a monopoly, prac-
tically speaking, without any tariff.
"In the larger items Of iron, steel,
sugar and wooden goods the consumer
will receive absolutely no relief. The
same is true Of the bill in all Of its
provisions. The consumer will be
called upon to pay more for the neces-
saries of life than at present.
1.-The trusts and monopolies have q
bill to suit them. 1t is not expected
or intended that the Payne"Aldrich
bill will raise sufficient revenue to de-
fray the expenses Of the government.
This is necessarily true because the
rate Of taxation is so high on imports
as to be prohibitive to a large extent.
A Republican congress having this In
mind has provided in the bill for an
unlimited issue Of bonds not to exceed
two hundred million dollars at any
time, but the authority to issue Is con-
tinuous, the money to be used to meet
the expenses Of the government. The
total amount Of bonds that may be is
sued under Section 40 Of the bill Is un-
limited, so that the bill might be call
ed a law to enable trusts and monopo-
lies to increase their profits at the ex-
pense of the consumers and to pro-
vide for a bond issue in order to raise
money to defray the expenses Of the
government.
'It is impossible for the Republican
party to revise the tariff for the reason
that the special interests control the
party. After making a promise Of
tariff revision to the people and carry
ing the election for president in 1908
on this issue, and having an over
whelming majority in the house and
senate, the Republicans have labored
for four and one-half months to revise
the tariff and the result Is a down.
right failure. I am sure that the
American people will resent this bum
CO game put up by the Republicans
and repudiate the party at the first
opportunity. The masses Of the
American people are in favor Of an
honest revision Of the tariff, and one
that will be fair to the consumer"

THE state Of Vermont has been
thrown into state of hysteria by the
arrival of the Tenth regiment of negro
troops at Fort Ethan Allen. There
are very few negroes in Vermont; but
the Vermonters think they already
have as many as they need, and the
leading paper of Montpelier has
sprung a sensation throughout the
state by setting up cry for the en-
actment of a jim crow car law. All
the papers of the state are taking
shots at the subject and they are MAX
ing the situation quite interesting.
However, the alarm is quite unneces-
sary. But few negroes will go to Ver-
mont voluntarily, and even the negro
soldiers will not remain in the army
very long, if the government establish
es a policy of keeping them in such a
cold climate. However, it must be con-
fessed that the manner in which the
Green Mountain boys are squirming
over the situation and prospects, is
more than half amusing down this
way.

Tell him that it indicates that the
clouds of ignorance, suspicion and dis
trust are passing, and that under, over
and between them is already to be
seen the golden sunshine Of better
educational facilities, greater and more
ambitious industrial development,
more magnificent agricultural achieve

through good report and through evil
report, that splendid old flag has al
way stood for the highest and best and

ALL the dispensaries were closed on
August 2, and the state is now under
absolute prohibition, especially in so
far as the law is concerned. The un-
derstanding is that dispensers are pos
itively refusing to sell liquor to any
body, and no liquor is to be had at re-
tail except from tigers. The counties
particularly affected are: Abbeville,
Fairfield, Kershaw, Lee, Florence,
Richland, Sumter, Lexington, Aiken,
Orangeburg, Williamsburg, George
town, Bamberg, Dorchester, Berkeley,
Barnwell, Colleton, Hampton, Charles

several of the counties mentioned are
going to vote out their dispensaries,
but how many and which ones. it is
to predict with much degree
of accuracy.

WE see that our editorial on More
Money for Farm Work" which ap-
peared in the Farmers Union Sun of
July 18th, has been used by the York
vile Enquirer and credited to the An
derSon Daily Mail, which lifted it bod
lily from our columns with unscrupu-
lous ease. This may be good newspa-
per ethics in this day and generation,
but when we were cub reporter in
days gone by it was not so regarded.
We regret very much having over
looked the original appearance of the
editorial in the Sun, else We certain
ly would not have given the credit
elsewhere. We are staunch believers
in the proposition that anything that
is worth reproducing is worth credit
ing, and that failure to give proper
credit works injustice to ourselves as
we'll as the people who have thus been
deprived of the fullest reward Of
their meditations and labors. We feel
sure that the Mail must also have
overlooked the matter of credit, else
it would not have neglected to give the
same, because of all the papers in the
state, none has more editorial ability
To spare than the Mail, and none can
better afford to be generous as well as

THERE is Il noticeable feeling of ap-
prehension throughout the northeast,
especially up in New England, that the
manufacturing and commercial su-
premacy so long enjoyed by that Sec
tion is seriously threatened, and that
the danger is from the west. There
is no question Of the fact that New
England has been having velvety times
in manufacturing lines for several
generations, and there is no question
of the fact either that the west is a
great and growing country; but while
we have tremendous respect for the
business perspicacity of the New Eng
landers, We are inclined to think that
they are a little in the dark just now
as to the quarter from which they are
most threatened. The great south ha
begun to feel herself again and it will
not be a great while until she begins
to make herself felt of others. This is
the coming part Of the country; and
