THE northeast got the advantage OF
the balance Of the country, including
the south, by judicious manipulation OF
the protective tariff laws. The bene-
fits Of this manipulation went mainly to
individuals and through them to the
section as a whole. The south has a
tenfold more effective means Of ac-
complishing the same thing through the
cotton crop To win back all that the
northwest has ever taken from 1t, 1t
has only to raise its own supplies.

THE death Of DR.. James H. Carlisle
president of Wofford college, marks the
end Of the active labors Of one OF the
grandest and most useful men Soutf
Carolina has known for several genera
tions. We know Of but few men thai
we would think Of trying to compare
with him. DR.. Carlisle was born II
Fairfield county on May 4, 1925. He
was connected with the college from the
day Of its Organization at Newberry II
1853, and was president from 1875 tc
1902. when he resigned to become pres
ident emeritus. Under his able guild
ance and direction, Wofford college be-
came one Of the greatest educational
institutions In the south, measuring uI
In every way with all the leading COL
leges; but probably excelling all in the
high standards of manly, Christian
character impaired to the students
This was the doctors strongest point
He stood above all else for honesty
truthfulness and fearless loyalty to
right principles. OF course, there were
Wofford students Of whom nothing
could be made, and who went to the
bad as do certain percentage OF the
students Of other institutions; but 1t is
fair to say that majority of the grad
uates under DR.. Carlisle are men OF
lofty character, who know what is right
and who have the courage to- do It
No other man in the state has exercised
a greater or better personal influence on
those who were so fortunate as to have
the advantage of his instruction, and
many of them have owed to him most
Of what they are. We have used the
expression at the beginning Of this par
agraph, lend Of the active labors," ad-
visedly, for the good that DR.. Carlisle
has done will go on and on, and his
splendid influence will never die

ANNUAL PREMIUM CONTEST.

| The EnquireTs annual subscription
getting campaign will open November
next, and will continue until March
Is.
Our premium offers will be as liberal
as they have been for the past two
years, and very similar to those of last
year.
The first premium-that Is the pre-
MUM for the largest club-will be a
rubber tired Rock Hill buggy, Carolina
grade, worth $780,
For the second largest club, we will
give handsome Farrend parlor organ,
worth SIS.
In addition to these two leading pre-
miums, we propose to give two first
class sewing machines in each of the
townships, except in the township or
townships to which one or both Of the
leading premiums might happen to go.
In other words there being nine
townships in the county, We propose to
award eighteen leading premiums-the
buggy, the organ and sixteen sewing
machines. the buggy and organ are to
go to the two largest clubs. regardless
Of townships, and the sewing machines
are to be awarded for the two largest
clubs in each Of the townships, regard
less of the number of names In these
clubs. II the buggy and organ should
be awarded in the same township, then
no sewing machine will be awarded In
that township. If the buggy and organ
are awarded in different township, then
there will be only one sewing machine
for each Of those townships.
Besides these competitive premiums,
there will be the usual list Of non-com-
petitive premiums, assuring to every
work that he or she may do.
New additions to the list will be re-
ceived from the time they are entered
until the first Of January 1911, at the
price of years subscription.
The price Of the paper will be the
same as heretofore, 81 q year for single
subscriptions, and $1.75 a year in clubs
The rules governing the competition,
which will be in all respects the same
as last year. will be published later.
AS showing how easy 1t is to carry
off these splendid premiums, almost any
Of them except the two largest we
herewith append a list Of the results of
the contests last year:

Flimsy stories and plausible pleadings
do not go with him. He recognizes
that it is better to let a thousand guilty
men escape than to punish one who is
innocent; but he recognizes also that
not more than one innocent man in a
thousand that are put on trial Is pun
ished. He knows what a reasonable
doubt is and he always gives the de-
fendant the benefit Of it; but he does
not acquit many guilty men on that
pretext. Because of the faithfulness of
the juror, there is more personal liber-
ty and more civil liberty, and more re-
|ligious liberty in England, than in any
other country on the face Of the earth.

not enter any names in the contest un-

It Is also worth while to call the at
tention Of the public to the fact that a
great many people think that to be
successful in this matter Of making
clubs, it is necessary to have a lot of
previous experience. This is all a mis-
take. OF the sixteen sewing machines
that were awarded last year, six were
awarded to men and ladies, who were
making their first attempt.

CANNON REFUSES
TO APPOINT CARTER
Oklahoma Congressman of indian
Blood Punished For Voting
Against House Rules.

Washington, d. G., Aug, 7-Fnends
Of Congressman Carter are complain
ing because Speaker Cannon left him
off the committee on Indian affairs.
Carter asked to be permitted 10 stay
on the committee. He is the oaly
representative with Indian blood Car.
ter says that Cannon got even with
him because he voted against the
speakers rules.
Cannon put him on the committee
on foreign affairs a better committee
but not as satisfactory as the Indian
affairs committee.
Carter's wall uttered for publica-
tion Isl Il spoke to the speaker per-
sonally and sent him a letter to the
effect that desired only to be on the
committee on Indian affairs. Cannon
said: Alright
He gave as his reason for the
change that there was such clamor
for an assignment on the Indian al
fairs committee that he could not sat
isfy everybody. I told him that there
were four democrats assigned to the
Indian committee, none of whom had
asked for an assignment, and that all
would rather serve on the foreign
affairs than on the Indian affairs, II he
would permit the change.
His reply was. No, No, / sannoI
permit you members to be swapping
committee assignments.

DECISION ADVERSE
: TO BIG LAND SUITS
sJudge Ralph Campbell Sustans De-
murrers Of the Defense in
Famous Mott Suits.

Muskogee, OKLA, Aug. Z. - Judge
Campbell yesterday sustained the de-
murrers of the defendants in the farm
land fraud suits, involving 10000
pieces of farm property, holding thas
the government has no right to prose
cute these suits because with the re-
moval Of restrictions the government
conferred the right of citizenship up
on the Indians.
The decision Of Judge Campbell is
one of the most important court ac-
tions Of recent date and will affect
more Oklahoma titles, probably, than
any similar one.
The land involved is scattered all
'nvsf the old Indian Territory and if
tie contentious Of the government at
t,rneys held good would precipitate
wholsesale jumbling of titles to lands.

MANY NEGLECTED.
TO PAY POSTAGE
Spokane Chamber of Commerce to
Pay Full Postage on AppIica-
tions For Registration.

Spokane, Wash, Aug Arrange
ments have been completed by the
Spokane chamber of commerce to pro
vide full postage for all the unstamp-
ed envelopes, containing applications
for registration on lands in the three
Indian reservations, mailed in Spo-
kane, Occur d'Alene, Idaho, and Mis-
soula and Kalispell, Mont, thus as
suring to every person registered be-
fore midnight on August an even
chance in the drawing beginning the
morning Of August 8.
Frank W. Smith, baseball fan and
patron of amateur sports, originated
the plan and was the first subscriber
to the fund, which was raised in an
hour. When he learned that more
than 400 unstamped envelopes were
held in the Spokane post Office and as
many more at the three other regis
try points he realized that several
thousand persons would thus be de-
prived of the opportunity to partici-
pate in Uncle Sam's big lottery.
He brought the matter to the at
tention of L. G. Monroe, secretary of
the commercial organization, with the
result that sufficient funds were for
warded to the postmasters of the four
cities to insure the delivery of every
unstamped letter to James w. Wit
ten, superintendent of the opening, at
Coeur d'Alene.
More than 295.O00 persons were
registered and it is a conservative
estimate that at least two percent
neglected to provide postage to carry
the applications, which many came
thousands Of miles to procure, to their
destination" Mr.. Smith said. 1T
would be unfortunate to deprive these
people of the chance to take part in
the drawing, as would be the case if |
they waited for the return of the ap.
plications from the dead letter Office.
Paying for all the letters held for
postage is tn only way to make GER
ain that none was left out, as there
ire no marks by which an individual
Envelope can be distinguished"

INSURANCE LAW IS
WISE LEGISLATION
People Of Oklahoma Protected From
Wild Cat Insurance Companies
And Fraud

Guthrie, Okla, Aug. 7.-One Of the
wise provisions made by the demo
cratic legislature for the protection
Of the people against wild cat insur-
ance companies was that compelling
foreign insurance companies to APP
point the insurance commissioner their
agent, upon whom service could be
had in the event Of law suit.
Previous to this time foreign com
panies could come into Oklahoma, So
licit insurance and with impunity
deny the payment OF losses and defy
the insured because there was no way
by which suit could be brought to
compel the payment of losses.
Reputable foreign companies have
complied with this provision, but there
are few companies of the wild cat
variety who seek to evade the law
and prey upon innocent people by So
Letting insurance upon which they
have no intention of ever paying in
case of loss.
T. J. McComb, insurance commis-
sioner, who has done SO much to place
all kinds of insurance in Oklahoma
upon a substantial basis, desire to
warn the people against accepting in
surance in any unauthorized company
He says that very rev Of these un
authorized companies send agents in
to the state because they are liable
to arrest and prosecution, but that
most of them operate through the
mails.
Every authorized agent, and there
are over twelve hundred, is provided
with a certificate from the insurance
commissioner which shows the com
pany and the kind of insurance that
it is authorized to do. Persons pay
ing for insurance should see that the
agent and his company are duly au-
thorized and provided with certi-
ficate.

FINED FOR BUILDING
FIRE ON PAVEMENT

The first infraction of the new city
ordinance against building fires on the
pavement was brought to light this
morning, when the city engineer filed
complaint against the clerks at the
Watson store on South Wilson street
for burning papers on the paved alley
back of the store. The defendants
were fined one dollar and costs by
Police Judge Byrd. As the contrac-
tors refused to guarantee pavement
where fires were built, the city officers
are going to rigidly enforce the ordin-
ance prohibiting this practice.

GOVERNMENT LAND LAWS A
SHAME,

The contention between Secre-
tary of the Interior Ballinger and
Chief Forester Pinchot is calling
attention to the land laws which
have been enacted to a great eX-
tent in the interest of the land
grabbing sharks. Take the timber
and stone entry law, under its pro-
visions millions of acres of valu-
able timber lands passed into the
hands of the lumber barons. Men
without dollar in the world would
enter a quarter section and as soon
as they had proven up, transfer
the land for a small consideration
to the barons, who have thus be-
come possessed of all the valuable
timber land on the Pacific coast.
The Communication law has been the
means of transferring millions of
acres of valuable farming lands into
the hands of land speculations. The
entryman or entrywoman was only
required to build a shack, dig a
we'll, break up a few acres of land
and reside on it for eight months
