necessary for the protection of
the manufacturers as we'll as for
the farmer.
Those of US who are taking
the agricultural courses are
given both practical and theo-
retical instruction in the anal
ysis Of commercial fertilizers
during our junior and senior
year. This, we learn for our
selves what fertilizer analysis is.
We will be glad to introduce any
of our farmer friends, at any
time to our instructors: who will
gladly show them through the
laboratories and explain more
in detail the methods of work.

When in Charleston last week
we found the politicians getting
their pegs in a row for the mu-
nicipaI campaign. Meetings were
being held by the workers for
the respective candidates for
mayor, and from all that we
could learn the Grace forces are
preparing to wage a strong fight
to land John P. Grace in the
mayors office. Grace IS fighter
who never lets up, and it would
not surprise US in the least to see
him the next mayor Of that city.
Should he win there will be a
rafting of the dry bones because
he will shake up things from
center to circumference, and be-
cause of the fear Of this very
thing the opposition will make
the fight of their lives to prevent
his election. Grace has one ad-
vantage, there is an element IN
that city who have no patience
with those who would run the
affairs of the municipality on
Sunday school principles, and
from observation we judge these
to be in the majority. Should
Grace receive the votes Of all
who are not in sympathy with
mixing religion with politics he
is most sure to come under the
string ahead of his opponents.

RIGHT, YOU ARE.

Governor Blease has made his
position positive in the matter of
acquisitions from other States,
and if be carries out this posi-
tion it will put a stop to the
practice CT using the money of
the State to bring back from
other States persons charged
with petty crimes. There has
been a growing practice in this
State to use the criminal ma
chinery to collect debts, q party
would leave the State owing
money and to force the collec.
ton Of the debt q warrant would
be issued charging obtaining
money under false pretences,
when in fact it was an ordinary
debt; frequently the debt would
not amornt to as much as the
cost of bringing the party back
for trial: this expense would
have to come out Of the State
treasury. We think the gov.
ernor is right: those who want
to use the criminal machinery IN
the future for the collection OF
debts will have to pay the e1-
penses themselves, and not put
the burden on the State.

Winthrop Dots.

This is the time OF year when
everybody is more or less inter
ested in athletics, and Winthrop
girls are no exception to the
general rule. Basketball is the
particular athletic sport to which
weare addicted. The Sub-Fresh.,
though victorious over the Fresh
and the Specials, were badly
beaten by the Sophomoces last
Monday. The next game will be
played next Monday, between
the Junior and Senior classes.
The winning class on next Mon
day VIII play the Sophomores on

comes out on top, in the final
game, will have the banner.

Governor Blease has signed
the Asylum Act, and has ap:
pointed two members OF the ola
commission, Dr.. J. W. Babcock
and DR.. Robert Wilson. The
other members Of the commission
are Col. E. H. Aull, of Newberry;
John F. Floyd, Of Spartanburg;
and James NJ. Payne. The new
members are all well known and
are good men. Judge R. Q:
Purdy, of Sumter, was one OF
the original members Of the com,
mission, and we expected him to
be re-appolnted but it seems he
was lost in the executive shuttle.
These gentlemen have a huge
task to perform and a grave re,
sponsib;lity; for the present year
they will have the handling OF
S240. 600 for the building of the
new asylum buildings on the
property purchased by the old
commission.

The extra session of congress
is now in working order, and
the Democratic party has a task
to perform which will require
the most careful statemanshIp
to keepit from going on therocks
Of disaster. Every party that
has attempted to tamper with
the tariff has come to grief, and
in order to prevent a revolution
of the business interests Of the
country there must not be any
radicalism. Should the majority
in congress go ahead to scale
the tariff down to the demands
of those who have been clamor-
ing for free trade, it viii result
in the greatest business up
heaval the country has had in
many years: therefore we say
the Democrats have q tremen-
Io1s responsibility and they
should so slow lest they bring
upon the country a condition OF
panic.

The United States Supreme
Court fled a decision on Monday
which is Of Importance to the
public, and strikes blow at the
drug concerns which sought to
prevent the cut in medicines.
The court decides that the cut
rates are lawful For several
years the drug business has been
one huge combination and the
public has had to bear with the
prices fixed by them. If q drug
store undertook to sell medicines
at price below that fixed by the
combine it would be blacklisted.
The courts were invoked to re-
strain &. medicine concern from
cutting prices, but the decision
says in effect the owner of the
goods has q right to cut rates
and to sell his medicines at any
price he pleases. The decision
Should have the effect Of bring
ing on competition and reducing
prices.

THEY ARE PULLING FOR TRADE.

:'See Charleston first" is the
slogan Of the boosters of that
city who are of for a six days
>tfsip through the Carolinas to ad-
vertise+he advantages Of the
city-by-the-sea for commercial
purposes. IN the party making
this trip are some of the most
substantial business men Of the
city, who will impress the towns
and the cities they pass through
with the earnestness of the
awakening of South Carolina's
metropolis. We believe the pos
sibilities Of Charleston are great,
and the coming. together Of her
business men to invite capital
and population, will bring about
a new era not only for the great
seaport but for the inland towns
as well. Those who regard
Charleston sleepy" have not
done any Investigating Of late,
and when they do they will be
convinced that there is some
thing doing now and will con-
tinue to be done in a substantial
way. The trade edition Of the
News and Courier Of last Monday
is a creditable piece of journal
istic work. This will be distrib
uted over the entire route and
those looking for locations to
establish manufacturing: and
those looking for an outlet foc
their merchandise and products
will be impressed with the show
ing made in this edition Of
Charleston's mcrning newspaper.
