The Florence Times says the
problem OF how to manage next
year without the lien la " is serious
ly vexing the merchants and some
of the farmers. Some of those who
advocated the repeal of the law are
now somewhat confused in their
minds" On the other hand The
Times is inclined to think the re-
peal of the law will: cultivate hab-
its of thrift and industry and hon
esty among the farming classes
and the effect will be to bring it
right home to the man who wants
credit that he must have a good
Character and must be known to be
man who pays his debts"
There is no doubt but that the
effect will be to draw a line be-
tween the non-debt-paying and
the debt-paying classes. The
honest man will not have to paw
an exorbitant profit on his goods
to make up for the losses the mer-
cant suffers at the hands of the
dishonest man. Another effect
of the law will be to establish a
sounder basis of credit for the
merchant and the banker. The
Landowner and farmer will have
to guarantee the accounts of his
tenants and he will be pretty sure
not to guarantee the account OF
any tenant who is not good pay."
The merchant in turn will borrow
money from the banker on his
book accounts which practi-
cally makes the merchant the
agent of the banker and if the
merchant fails to pay over to the
banker the money collected from
these book accounts" he laws
himself liable to civil and crimi-
nal prosecution. This drastic fea-
ture of the new law will make the
merchant exercise more discre-
ton in the selection of his Gus
toners and the farmer or tenant
who does not meet his obligations
promptly will find it pretty hard
to secure advances. But it will
have a wholesome effect in that
the credit of the country will be
on a more solid and substar tial
] basis

A Dangerous Precedent.

The general assembly of South
Carolina is notorious for doing
some very foolish things. AT its
last session the general assembly
granted permission to the Cincin-
natl, Clinch6eld & Ohio railroad to
secure a charter from the Secre-
tary of State 70 build and operate
a line of railroad in this state with
out opening books of subscription
as required by law. When the
Clinch6eld people applied for their
charter the Secretary of State
refused to grant it on the ground
that the act was unconstitutional.
They have taken an appeal from the
Secretary of States decision to
the supreme court where they feel
confident they will get the relief
demanded.
From layman's point of view
the Secretary of State is right.
The general assembly has not only
blundered, but it has established a
dangerous precedent. The gen
eral assembly has no right To make
laws that give special privileges
to either foreign or domestic cor
porations and ther. is every rea-
son to believe that his refusal to
grant a charter to the 6. Z. & O.
will be sustained by the supreme
court. To grant the Z. c. & O.
a charter under a special act which
does not require it to open books
of subscription and to subscribe
the amount of capital necessary to
construct its lines in this state
would be granting it immunity
from suit or prosecution in the
state courts and persons seeking
legal redress against the corpora
ton would be compelled to carry
their causes to the Federal courts.
Protected by special charter it
would enjoy the same rights and
privileges as other corporations,
but it would be absolutely without
the Jurisdiction of the state courts.
1t is pity this complication has
arisen. The coming of the c. C..
& 0. means much for South Caro-
lima and the delay in securing its
charter is causing serious embar-
rassment to every interest involv-
ed, but to confer upon the new
corporation privileges and rights
that other corporations do not en-
JOY would be to establish danger
Gus precedent and it would be the
part of wisdom to make haste
slowly.

Class Have Thrilling Es-
capes In Tottenville.
FIRE DEPARTMENT Is
CALLED TO THE SCENE
Teacher Displays Presence
of Mind and Little Damage
Is Done--Use the Escapes
pecial TO the EVENING YEWs.

Special TO the EVENING NEWs
Tottenville, March 2:-There came
near being panic among the $50 pu'
pills in public school No. i, Tottenville
yesterday morning, when gas range
in the cooking department on the sec
and floor exploded while seventeen
girls Of the fth grade and Miss Flor
ence Murray, of Brooklyn, the teacher
were In the room.
The explosion made report which
was heard all over the building and its
force set fire to the room, wrecked the
stove and broke several panes of glass
That none of the girls was seriously in
jured was almost miraculous as Miss
Murray, the cooking teacher, was only
"a few feet from the range, when il
burst.
The class had just completed its les
son and was washing up the cooking
utensils on the other side Of the room
when the explosion took place. The gas
in the range had been turned off and
Miss Murray was getting ready for the
next class to come in from the main
school Without warning, the explo-
sion came. The building in which the
cooking school Is held, shook and the
report was heard by the children in the
main school. One Of the teachers in the
rear Of the main building, seeing the
burst of fame, sent word to Principal
N. J. Lowe, who promptly sent y an
alarm of fire from box 1-18s in the main
hall of the school. At the same time
Miss Anna Bussing, clerk to Principal
Lowe, sounded the FIRE gongs In the
school and the sig hundred and thirty
pupils marched out of the building in
minute and half. 101 Hook and
Ladder and col Engine In charge of
Lieutenants Connerly and Willis and
the reserves Of the goth precinct police
station under Sergeant Hodge, were
soon at the school but the gas had been
shut of and the flames extinguished
before the fremen arrived.
Miss Murray, in trying to shut off the
gas after the explosion, burned her
right hand. Lillian La Forge of Tyr
rell street, one Of the class, with
rare presence Of mind, took the COW
ering from the couch bed. that is used
in demonstration and threw it on the
flames and smothered it.
The damage will amount to about
$g5. When it became known that an
explosion had taken place at the school
many anxious parents ran to the school,
but the children had marched immed-
lately in the building again before the
fremen arrived Acting Battalion
Chief Hughes, who was having day off,
was at the school directing the work of
the fremen in clearing up the wreck
age Of the range.

S|LzER AGAIN URGES
CANAL INVESTIGATION

Trenton, March "a resolution was
introduced In the senate last night by
Mr.. Silzer, of Middlesex, providing for
I the appointment Of a committee to as
certain the reason for the disuse of the
Delaware and Raritan canal, to deter
mine whether or not there is discrimin-
alton In the supplying of boats for use
thereon, and also to investigate and
report the utility and advisability of
adopting legislation tending to revive
tion was referred to the committee on
judiciary.
This is similar to the resolution in
troduced by Mr.. Silzer In the last ses-
sion and which was passed, but the fail
ure of the president Of the senate and
the speaker of the house to name the
committee made 1t imperative.
Mr.. silzer introduced by request, last
night, another bill concerning persons
connected with the district court prac-
ticing therein. It is known as senate
No. 1856, and it makes II misdemeanor
for any person connected with or in the
employ Of district court to practice in
any district court in the state. It WAS
referred to the committee on revision
Of laws
In the assembly Mr.. Won Minden in
erodueed two bills. They are listed as
follows:

Amends the poor act relative to the
bonds to overseers of the poor, etc.
ways and means.)
The purpose of the republican state
committee TO overlord the doings of the
legislature for the remainder Of the
session is not taken seriously in the
house, for last night the following res
olution, introduced by Minority Leader
Sullivan, was passed without dissent
ing vote amid much laughter:
Whereas, it is reported In the daily
press that the republican state com
mittee, in its unique wisdom, has sp-
pointed a special committee Of its mem
bers to attend the remaining sessions OF
this legislature, and TO see that proper
legislation is enacted; and
Whereas, 1t is Of the utmost i'm
portance to the people of the State Of
New Jersey that said select committee
he untrsmmelled by the rules of mere
House Of Assembly; now, therefore, be
it
Resolvedi First, that the House of
Assembly congratulate the Senate and
itself on the acquisition of a Board Of
Guardians Second, that the privileges
Of the floor for the remainder Of the
session be given TO the said select com
mittee. Third, that copy of the min
utes Of this house containing this res
olution be forwarded to each Of the
said gentlemen when printed. -
Mr.. Martin, of Essex county, con-
tributed to the iocularity Of the oc-
casion by securing reference Of the
resolution to the committee on federal
relations, of which he is chairman.
