The question of the place for the
holding of the next National Demo-
cratic convention is being agitated. Ell
forts will be made to have the conven-
tion meet in Baltimore. We would be
very glad to see it held in Baltimore
The News and Courier says that the
cooking In Baltimore is the best in
the United States, outside OF Charles
ton, Of course, and that Baltimore is
within easy reach of the capitol and
is cool in summer and besides is near
a number of popular summer resorts
These things should have large weight
in settling where the convention is tc
be held.

MENACE OF GRADE CROSSINGS.

The tragic death of that little school
bov in Newberry last week, crushed
to death beneath a Southern freight
train, again brings to mind the nor,
rible menace of grade crossings IN
towns. So long as we neglect enforc-
ing the proper precautions, so long
will we be somewhat responsible to1
such things.-Greenwood Index.
The thing is coming. Grade cross
ing must go Except il Newberry, II
seens)..
The toll of these grade crossings is
z heavy one and will go On being heaV-
ier from year to year, and they should
be abolished not only in the towns and
cities, but in the country as we'll, and
no opportunity to be rid of them should
be allowed to knock at the door of the
public unheeded.

Comptroller General Jones is get
ting to be vigorous in his efforts to
have those liable to the income tax
to come across. He is going to recon-
mend to the governor the removal OF
all auditors who do not comply with
his instructions.
We are very much afraid that the
governor will have several auditors to
remove, if he obeys the recommenda-
ton of the comptroller general, The
tax problem is one Of the most intri'
cate connected with the government
and we doubt very much if South Car
olina was ready just yet for an IN
come tax law, but, of course. the best
vav to settle that question is to have
the law enforced rigidly, if it can be
done. The income tax payers, how
ever, or those liable to the income tax
are not the only ones who do not pay
their equitable share Of the taxes. Ell
forts were made some years ago IN
the legislature to get through bill
providing for an equitable assessment
of property but it failed. A reform
of this kind must come slowly.

met bravely the red clay just beyond

Fine Crop of Cotton Made-SOWing
Wheat--HOg killing Time
Personals.

Slighs, Dec. 6.-The farmers through
this section are pretty well up with
gathering their crop and this has turn
ed out to be the best crop that has
been made in several years, especially
of cotton, which at one time looked so
discouraging. At the present price
there won't be any profit made on it
though. Farmers being so sure of cot
ton being a good price that>this pres
ent price puts business in tough
shape. The idea is for the farmer to
get in position that he won't be de-
pendent on cotton for support and
until we get in this position cotton
is liable TO sell at 9 cents and maybe
less.
About the usual amount of grain is
being sown through this section.
Wheat sowing is becoming more gem
eral every year. If it doesn't profit
quite so much to raise wheat, what is
raised doesn't have to be bought with
cheap cotton. See the point? I think
that the amount of fertilizer used next
year will be greatly reduced.
Isn't this weather fine for the kill
ing of porkers? And We suppose a
great many people are enjoying "pud-
ding, sausage and spare ribs,'' etc.

gress message. together with report

approval to recommendations made by

retary Knox desires amendments to the
law that will prohibit any vessel en-
gagged In trade from any foreign port or

derivatives or preparations of opium or
cocaine, to any country which prohibits
or regulates their entry.
The Secretary of State further points
out defect in the opium exclusion act in
that smoking opium may be manufactured
in the United States from domestically
produced opium, and the pressing neces-
amendment TO the internal revenue ac, OF
October |, 1890. that would place a pro-

There is one trouble about slippers,

ARGUES TOBACCO CASE.
Attorney General Presents Govern
ment View of the Controversy.

Attorney General Wickersham, in be-
half of the government, entered the oral
argument in the tobacco case in the
United States Supreme Court yesterday.
Mr.. Wickersham started out by insisting
that the tobacco organization had been
created with intent to establish a mo-
nopoly Of the tobacco business and to re-
strain trade between the states.
He attacked the contentious Of the
attorneys for the tobacco company with
sarcasm, and said that with solemn Wis
age and pious men they would sugar the
devil himself" He secuted the idea ad-
vanced by the attorneys for the other
side that the tobacco trusts business was
the result Of ordinary commercial growth,
and insisted that 1t was a carefully
planned attempt to obtain a monopoly of
the business in this country.
w. B. HornblOwer. s. NJ. Stroock and
Attorney Parker addressed the court for
the tobacco company and its allied inter-
ests. Attorney General Wickersham and
the attorneys for the tobacco company
were sharply questioned by the court
during the course Of the argument.
