the cars. Two persons were killed and
several injured by derailed car plung-
ing into the front of store and catch
ing the persons on the streets. The
central labor union of the city, repre-
senting l40 unions and claiming a
membership of 125.OOO, at a meeting on
Sunday afternoon, voted a sympathetic
strike unless the street car strike was
settled before next Saturday. The un-
ion people claim that the life of their
unions is at stake and are practically
unit on the question of general
sympathetic strike, and while they are
willing to arbitrate their grievances,
the rapid transit people answer by say
ing that there is nothing to arbitrate.
The strike IS costing the city, in the
many different ways affected, close TO
a million dollars a day. If general
strike is ordered. as seems probable,
the troubles of the city will be greatly
multiplied.

AN interesting feature of last Sat-
urday's News and Courier was two
pages. especially devoted to the retir-
ing editor, Mr. ]. c. Hemphill, who left
on the Thursday previous to take
editorial control of the Richmond
Times Dispatch. The centre of the
first of these two pages is filled up with
a unique chart. made up of editorial
comments and sentiments relating to
Mr.. Hemphill and the change, and the
remaining space on both pages is fill
ed with extracts from the papers of
South Carolina and the entire country,
on the major and the unexpected
change he has made. All the COM
ments breathe admiration and good
will to an extent we'll calculated to make
any southern newspaper man proud,
and to make mis- friends proud of him.
Taken all in all, we think it is one Of
the most remarkable leave takings we
have ever known, and it makes us
wonder all the more why the stock
holders of the News and Courier should
have allowed ii to occur, unless as Is
quite probable, they were simply una
BILE to meet the extraordinary induce
ments held out by the Richmond pa
per. However, we look for the News
and Courier to continue about the
same. Authoritative announcement is
made of the fact that Mr.. Robert La
than has been elected editor, and with
such a staff as he has, including Her.
bert R. Sass, Miss Lou Alexander, and
half a dozen others. all of them
bright and able, and all of them in
fused with the Hemphill spirit, the old
paper will continue the even tenor of
its way. and be as much to the people
OF Charleston and the state as it has
ever been. We not only so hope; but
we so believe

which invite avarice, belong as rule
to class that is lower in the scale of
social and political influence than the
avarice that caters to them, and the
avarice therefore is more difficult to
contend with than the appetites.
The people of Yorkville have, dur
ing the past twenty years, passed
through every stage of the prohibition
question. They commenced the fight
against liquor when the sale Of the
stuff was free and open. and was en-
trenched in the sanction Of generations
of custom. Not only that, about eight
out of ten of the male population were
either more or less addicted to the IL
quor habit or more or less tolerant OF
it, Under these circumstances, the
temperance and prohibition sentiments
seemed as but precarious sparks that
needed the most careful and persistent
nursing to fan them into a very formi-
dable flame.
While it is not to be claimed that
complete prohibition or universal tenn
perance has yet been attained, there Is
no disputing the fact that wonderful
progress has been made. This can best
be realized and appreciated by middle
aged men, who will go back in their
memories to 1880, and compare the
conditions that existed then with the
conditions that exist now. In making
the comparison also, they will find 1t
interesting to review the many differ
ent classes of people who have stood
in the way of the enforcement Of the
laws and the many different methods
that have been used, and we feel safe
in warranting that every man who
makes this review intelligently and
honestly, will bear us out in the as
sertion that avarice has been a greater
obstacle than appetite.
OF course, it is clear and undis-
puted proposition, that If there were no
cravings of appetite to cater to, there
would be no liquor problem at all, be-
cause in the obsence of an appe-
tite to satisfy, there would be nothing
connected with the problem to stimu-
late or arouse the avaricious; but we
submit that except for the avaricious,
the liquor problem would have been
settled long ago.
There is very little ground on which
to dispute the assertion that prohibi-
tion is being more satisfactorily en-
forced throughout this section than
ever before; but it Is we'll for all who
are interested to keep in mind the fact
that they must not lose their interest,
for great as has been the improvement,
both thirst and avarice are still more
or less alert, and will assert themselves
the moment they notice any apprecia-
BILE relaxation of the commendable
vigilance that is now being main
tanned.

THERE are people who continue to
insist that this is not to be good year
for business. There is no doubt about
the fact that the north is hurting and
will hurt more; but if there is any
distress in the south, it is not visible
in this immediate section. The only
thing needful for good business
throughout this Piedmont territory, Is
for the people who have not already
done so, to get busy.

RENEWED interest in the soy or sofa
bean Is being awakened in different
parts of the state, particularly in An
derson by Col. j. c. Stribbling and the
Daily Mail. News comes from the
state department at Washington to the
effect that over in Manchuria, they are
raising sofa beans in immense guam
titles, and that recently sixty or seven
ty ships were chartered to carry the
beans to France, England, Germany
and Denmark, where they are in de-
mand for making oil that Is almost
identical with cotton seed oil. A recent
dispatch said that the cotton oil mill
at Sumter S. c., had bought an i'm
mense quantity of sofa beans in st.
Louis, and will press the oil out. Tine
cake of the beans, after the oil has
been extracted, is also of value as a
stock food and for fertilizer, being very
rich in nitrogen. The soy bean has
been grown in various parts Of South
Carolina, and is very prolific pro-
ducer in almost any kind Of soil. 1t Is
also of great value as a producer OF
nitrogen, in this respect being almost,
if not quite equal to the ordinary cow
pea.

AS there are twenty-eight weeks
more until August 81, 1910, this means
that if the mills only were to take 1884,
600 bales per week during that time
there would not be bale of cotton left
in the visibly supply, and the three
great future markets, Liverpool, New
Orleans and New York, would be with
out a pound Of cotton to fulfill their
outstanding contracts. If the mills
were to continue to take what they
did last week there would not be bale
of cotton left after August 10, 1910, but
as a voluminous circular writer has re-
Gently stated, A minus quantity is, in
reality, unthinkable, and exists only as
mathematical abstraction therefore 1t
is a matter of impossibility for the
mills to take even as small a quantity
as $4,000 bales per week, and as, dur

Even those who have only casually
noticed the action Of the cotton mar
ket during the last few months, have
noted the unusual declines in the face
of conditions which seem to warrant
decided advance, while the men ac-
tually in the cotton business, have been
almost as much puzzled by the market,
as have been the bystanders. There
has been a wide difference of views and
from time to time the situation has been
commented upon, but we have not seen
clearer statement emanating from any
source than that issued by Mr.. Frank
B. Hayne Of New Orleans, few days
since. He says:
"On Friday, February IS, Mr.. Hester
posted 213,O00 bales Of cotton as the
spinners' takings for the week ending
on that date, which, being considerably
less than tine spinners' takings for the
same week last year and the year pre-
vious, Immediately caused a sharp de-
cline in the market on Friday Of 10
points, and a still further decline on
Saturday of 81 points. l consider this
decline entirely unwarranted in fact,

lowing figures to prove that / have

That Joe Huber Com
mitted Suicide.

over the divide, where Joe Huber was
last seen, constable Twomey found the
body of the missing man lying prone
on the ground, under a bush his head
half shot away. The empty barrel Of
a gun a few PAGES from the dead body

had taken place in that isolated local
ity. The coroners verdict states that
Huber met his death at his own hanIs.
Huber was born in Germany, from
which place he came to this country
several years ago and was considered
one of the pioneers of the territory.

spondent two years ago. when his son
Charles was accidentally killed in a
