Insane Over RsIiaion.

Dickinson Press: MRS. Raphael
Burger, living about eight miles north
OF Taylor, just over the line in Dunn
county was brought to Dickinson last
week to be examined by the insanity
board with a view towards having her
committed to the asylum at James
town. The woman's case Is quite 8
serious one and that has many un-
fortunate circumstances. Her mind is
deranged over the subject of religion
She is 20 years old and the mother
of three children, the youngest OF
which is only six months old. During
her stay in Dickinson she has beer
with friends on the south side.
There was some question as &c
whether the case belonged to STARK
county or to Dunn county as the fami-
ly reside about on the county line
The woman was brought to Dickin-
son with the idea that this county
was responsible for the disposition o.
her case but investigation showet
that she lived in Dunn county.
The members Of the insanity board
of that county came to Dickinson and
examined her this weeK. Judge C. F
Sperber was called here from Oaxdal,
to act with DIR. Stephen Fisher In tn,
examination OF the woman and wai
committed TO jamestown. Sheriff
John Bang tooke her there this week
This OILS the fourth insane case ii

CRAZY MAN WILL
Be DEPORTED

Minot, N, D., April 5.-Believing that
Niels Olson who was adjudged insane
at Donnybrook a short time ago was
a noted poles character and pauper of
Copenhagen, Denmark, and was sent
to, this country by the foreign police,
Public Administrator Hovey is making
a strenuous effort to have the man
sent back to his old home. Olson is
now at jamestown a Ward county
charge and from all indications is a
hopeless case. .4.
Mr.. Hovey has through correspon-
dence ascertained that Olson was for a
long time a pauper and police char
acter at Copenhagen, and it is his
belief that the police sent him to the
United States. Olson struck Donny-
brook last fall and entered the en-
ploy of a shoemaker, working for his
board. When taken in and he was
brought here and finally sent to James
town.
Cases have been found frequently
where the officials of foreign countries
have sent paupers and criminals to
this country to avoid the expense OF
keeping them there.
The matter has been brought to the
attention of the federal authorities
and there is little doubt but what Oh
son will be sent back to his old home

Parker & Reese,
The Court House.

Upon our Court House, we believe, there
is a debt Of $50, 900, which is to be paid by
the county. The levy for the payment o.
that debt has been "a mills annually, rails
ing S16,O 0 or $4,000. The debt Of S5O,OOt
bears interest, and it Is fair to estimate
that about four years time will be required
to settle it.
The taxes for county purposes must nee
essarily be increased, or else public ex
penditures must be reduced. Excessive
demands for bridges and other purposes
have about exhausted the money for this
year. improvements that are hereafter
made must be done on credit.
Citizens who may demand bridges OF
other work ought not to be too exacting OF
the Supervisor. To do so would be like re-
curing him to make bricks without straw,
or like expecting him to work miracles.
1t is now the tax payers time to com,
plain of lack Of public work. Next year
the same good citizens may have a chance
to complain OF taxes.

Needed Change.

The pension law Of South Carolina is
much in need of revision. Instead OF send
ing the whole collection under the levy TIC
Columbia, the money for pensions should
ba,held in the different counties, even as Is
the money for the maintenance Of the in
mates of the county home, the board o.
Jail prisoners, and the salaries of county
officers.
Let each county take care Of it's own old
soldiers. The commissioners for that pur,
pose could as easily give a check them
selves as to recommend that a check be is
sued from Columbia. The Columbia office
would be saved much trouble, and the PEN
sioners could be better served at home.
The change to the county plan would sat
isfy the people that there was no favorit-
ism.
While every Confederate soldier who did
his duty in the war earned and deserves a
pension, yet we are not able to give PEN
sions, except in cases where the Die SOL
diers are in need. But in some of the
counties it would seem that nearly every
soldier is pensioned.
The pension boards, if the money was
paid by their respective counties, would
not be liable to the charge OF making the
distribution Of pensions a grab game.

For his courage and manhood in refus-
ing to commute the sentence OF one
Mitchell, who had been convicted OF a
crime against an unmarried woman, Gov
|ernor Brown, Of Georgia, is being praised
i'm South Carolina: Mitchell is rich, highly
Educated and moved in the best circles
The aforesaid best circles exerted their
combined influence with the Governor to
save Mitchell from the disgrace Of wear
ing stripes and serving on the chain gang
for one year.
The trial Judge was exceedingly lenient
in sentencing Mitchell, and his friends felt
sure that their influence with Governor
Brown would save him from all the dis
grace of the chain gang.
AS a last resort, the plea Of failing health
was urged, claiming that service on tn
chain gang would be fatal. But all to no
effect. Governor Brown refused to let
wealth, social position and influential
friends swerve him from the path Of duty.
FThe sheriff of the county was ordered to
take charge of the criminal, and all Of "our
set" were Mortified. >
If a poor white man or a negro in South
Carolina had committed Mitchelrs crime,
it would have taken a life sentence to sat-
isfy the demands of justice-if he had
been fortunate enough to escape lynching.
The whole country needs more such gov
errors as Governor Brown. Judges would
do their duty, and. the courts would gain
greater respect from the people who SEEM
ingly have reason to believe that the rich
are sometimes less rigidly dealt with than
are the poor. The courts too often, through
technicalities, allow the rich criminal to
eScape.

Statewide Prohibition.

Some well-meaning but crazy prohibl-
t~ionists are now urging that those coun-
ties which refused to vote out the dlspen-
sary, be now placed under prohibition by a
statewide prohibitory law.
This newspaper is a Democrat, and be-
lieves in local self-government. But II we
were a despot and thought that minorities
had no rights which the majority should
respect, we claim to nave sense enough to
know that a law should not be forced upon
a people who protest. Even Col. il. Har-
lev ought to know that neither he nor his
intangible league can enforce prohibition
on Charleston. We believe the veriest
lunatic, who is allowed to 60 at large, must
know that a city as large as Charleston
cannot be made to enforce prohibition, and
weare inclined to the opinion that the rep
resentatives from the "dry" counties will
nave enough to do if they enforce the law
at home.
The proper thing for real temperance
people to do is to use their influence and
their talents in instilling temperance hab-
it's and temperance principles into the peo-
pie. Sobriety from conviction, or princi-
pie, is much better than sobriety which
may be forced by law. Sobriety from
principle is dependable, but that sobriety
which comes from legal restraint is uncer-
TAIN
But it is easier, theoretically, to make
men sober by Withholding the liquor than
it is to create a. sentiment or to instin a
principle which would restrain the citizen
from the3 use of intoxicants. 1t is
easier to run politics than to create
within us a principle. Politics, as all
know, is quite another thing from princi-
pie. Politics come from policy and prin-
ciple comes from conviction OF right and
wrong.

Athens Claims Our Meteor.

Athens, Ga, is Dragging about seeing
our meteor last Friday night. The whole
heavens were lighted as far az Athens, and
Abbeville is glad to have given such a
brilliant show former n%eighboring city. 1t
is a matter of some regret that the show
came off so late in the ~night-about eleven
o'clock, when most Of u people were
sleeping the sleep of the just, all uncon-
scious of the luminous body that could vie
with the sunin its glory. AS soon as it fell
its glory departed. The impact, or some
thing else, shook the houses, or made the
windows rattle somewhat in the manner of
a modest earthquake. Those OF our fellow
citizens who saw the meteor and felt the
shock had the advantage next day in tell
ing sound sleepers Of the incident.

Paw DIFF the Debt.

The town of Abbeville, as W. under
etand, still yves some $780, 900 on the city
hall. We hope that every available dollar
may be put to the liquidation Of that debt,
so that when it may be necessary to issue
bonds, the amount may be as small as pos
sible. And if we had anything to say
about it, we would suggest that expense
be reduced to the least amount possible.
The city hall is a pride and a beauty. 1t
is an imposing monument to those who
constructed it. Let not the debt be a bur.
den.
We have reason to be glad that upon the
building, including the land, which cost
500, 900, there is today only about 100000 of
debt.

The u. s.. Government Report on the
condition of the cotton crop as Of August
25th is fruitful of interesting suggestions
The condition OF the crop in Texas was
placed at 40 per cent. as compared with an
average for ten years Of GO per cent. and
for July 25th last year Of rs per cent.
Louisiana was placed at 4S per cent. as
against IA per cent. averaged for ten years
and 6S per cent. August 25th, 1908.
Conditions in South Carolina were put at
IA per cent. as against rs per cent. Tor ten
wears, and rs per cent. August 25th, zoos
Since this report was made, August 25th,
there has been deterioration in the crops
of this State Of twelve to twenty per cent
recent estimrte made by a New YORK
concern of which Theodore Price is the
leading spirit, places the probable yield at
10 800 900 bales. This is based on CORE
snondence with seven thousand producers
and merchants throughout the cotton belt
and may be relied upon to be reasonably
accurate.
The commercial cotton crop just closed
was the largest ever reported, amounting
to 1895, Asst bales. Even with this very
large crop the price has been we'll sus-
tanned, old cotton now selling above Il
d. cents, which shows that the demand is not
far below Il, 0OO, 900 bales.
This then is the evidence that the cotton
producer can bring to bear on the sltua-
ton. THERE'S every evidence that there Is
to be the smallest crop in years. Texas
and Louisiana are raising less cotton than
at any time in their history, and these TWO
States produce one-third OF the cotton
raised in the United States under normal
condition. All the other States are below
the average for ten years, and all below
the per cent. stated for August 25th one
year ago. There is the year just closed
with consumption approximating Il, 100000
bales and a crop OF less than 11,O0O,0 600
to meet it.
While twelve cents is a good price for
cotton, and we would not advise any man
to hold when he can get this, we confident
ly expect to see some cotton sold for IL
. cents per pound before August 31st, 1910,
though we would not be surprised to see
the market hammered as low as eleven
cents during this period.
These are the facts. Each man may
make the application as his judgment die

Enforce the Law"
Contributed.


Such has been the demand in reference
to prohibition. 1t is presumed that the de-
mand comes from the prohibitionists. The
enforcement Of the law is a good thing, but
did anybody ever know Of a prohibitionist
doing a hands turn at enforcing any law
AS a rule, gentlemen are kept busy try
ing to obey the law, without intermeddling
With the conduct Of others. It is quite GER
tain that we do not recollect Of an instance
where any gentleman has bothered his
neighbors a S to their obeying or disobey'
ing the law.
The law ought to be enforced, but 1t is
the duty Of officers to attend to that mat
ter. Speaking for ourselves, we have
never meddled with the. enforcement OF
any law. Such work is not VI business,
and we do not intend to try to enforce a
law which we do not want.
