1t is not right to throw any jibes al
Porfirio Diaz. He is great man and
did great things for Mexico. 1t is true
that he has failed to come up to the
American idea of craftsmanship, in
that he did not establish constitutional
liberty as it is known and understood
in the United States. But still he has
been broad and liberal enough to per-
nit the development Of liberal ideas,
and if Mexico should really become q
republic in fact as we'll as in name, to
Diaz probably, will be due a large
measure Of the credit.

Clemson College Loses Suit.-Clem-
son Agricultural college Of South Car
olina yesterday lost its fight in the
United States supreme court to escape
suit for payment Of $4,000 to DR.. John
Hopkins, for damages alleged to have
been done to his land by the building
of a dixie on Seneca river In Oconee
county, South Carolina. The South
Carolina courts held that the college
was an agent of the state and could
not be sued. Justice Lamart holds
that this view was wrong and directs
further proceedings, looking toward
hearing of the suit.
This decision Is a complete knock
out for the contention that Clemson
college is a state institution. The ef-
feet of the decision Is far-reaching,
Besides affecting the status Of the
college, 1t makes unnecessary the quo
proceedings, contemplated
BY recent resolution Of the general
to determine whether a
trustee Of Clemson who holds another
state office is violating the constitu.
tional inhibition against one person
holding at the same time two state
offices of trust or profit.

Of Yorkville, was destroyed by fire
last Saturday evening at about Z
O'clock and with it quite quantity Of
roughness and some farming tools. Mr..

Death of 3. J. Barber.
Mr.. B. J. Barber, formerly Of York.
vile, but for more than twenty years
resident of Rock Hill, died in that
place last Friday Of heart failure. Mr.
Barber was an Englishman and was
a baker by trade. He was brought to
Yorkville by Mr.. w. H. Herndon for
whom he worked for some time and
afterward he went into partnership
with the late G. H. Berry. From

Pheasants on Allison Creek.
Magistrate T. B. Glenn Of Tirzah,
has learned that there are three pairs
of pheasants nesting on Allison creek
on lands belonging to the Catawba
Power comnany. How the pheasants
came there, Mr. Glenn does not know;
but he is anxious that they be not dis
turbed by anybody. Pheasants have
all the protection that Is afforded by
the game laws: but better guarantee
than these laws will be a general ap-
probation on the part of the intelli-
gent people of the surrounding coun-
try of the Importance of looking af-
ter these birds to the end that they
might multiply and restock the neigh
hOrhOOd.

Dispatches from Mexico indicate
that terror reigns in many parts OF
the country. The federals have be-
come thoroughly demoralized as the
result of the overthrow of Diaz and
lawless marauders, recognizing no au-
thority, but assuming to be as good
revolutionists as Madero, are taking
charge and working their unrestrained
will. The problem of restoring order
is going to be big one.

ANONYMOUS Writers.

There are few newspaper editors
who have not had to deal with the
foibles of anonymous correspondents,
and this class of writer's have long
been a factor in the ordinary routine
of making a newspaper.
The anonymous writer occupies a
rather questionable place in the esteem
Of newspaper offices; but at the same
time 1t is possible that II not as a
whole, in some Of his manifestations,
he is entitled to more consideration
than he receives.
There are offenses and offenses, b t
in every kind of offense there are de-
grees of aggravation, and the rule
probably applies to anonymous cor
respondents along with other things.
We do not want to be understood as
taking up for the anonymous corre-
spondent. We do not think he Is nee
essary and we have no particular use
for him; but at the same time we are
able to see that he can be explained
SOI1ellIIleS III d ll6ul llldl uOSo HOI op-
pear to be altogether vicious.
Generally speaking the anonymous
correspondent is both ignorant and
vicious. More often he Is both ignor-
ant and vicious; but sometimes he Is
only ignorant.
If it were not for ignorance there
would be no anonymous correspond
ents. Any man should have sense
enough to know that those in posi-
ton of high responsibility are not
going to stand for things that they
themselves will not stand for.
For the cowardly fellow who resorts
to the sneaking expedlent of sending
out anything about anything, whether
true or false to some other man In the
hope that the other man will do that
which he Is afraid to do, there can be
nothing but contempt. That is all
such a man gets.
But all the anonymous correspond
ents with whom newspaper people
have to do, are not of the class men
toned. Sometimes they really have
valuable and meritorious matter; but
so little understand the fact, that they
try to work anonymously rather than
subject themselves to ridicule.
Editors frequently find good ideas
and suggestions in anonymous corre-
spondence; but they cannot put those
ideas or suggestions into use for vari-
Gus reasons, a full explanation Of
which is hardly worth while.
The honest correspondent who has
something that he desires to call to
public attention should send 1t in to
the editor with his name. He need
not have any fear that his name will
be made public without his consent.
That is not the reason the editor de-
sires the name. He wants the name
merely as a guarantee OF good faith.
The contribution may or may not be
published. That depends altogether
on the judgment of the editor. But
when an editor does see proper to pub
lish anonymously a communication,
the author of which is known to him,
1t is without any present or future in
tention of making known the name of
that author. The editor himself as
sumes responsibility, and If there is
anything to answer for, the editor and
the newspaper have to do the answer
ing.
But no one should be so foolish as
to think that the editor of newspa-
per is going to print the anonymous
productions of another without him.
self knowing the identity Of that other.

TOBACCO TRUST LOSES.
Big Cooperation Must Dissolve and Do
Business According to Law.

Business According to Law.
The government yesterday won a
sweeping victory over the so-called
tobacco trust" when the supreme
court of the United States held the
American Tobacco company and it's
allied corporations to be operating in
violation of the Sherman antitrust
law.
BY directing that the combination
be forbidden the privilege Of inter-
state commerce or be placed In the
hands of a receiver unless 1t disinte-
CRATES In harmony with the law with
in six or. at the most, eight months,
the court is regarded to have dealt
with the tobacco corporations more
drastically than with the Standard
Oil company Of New Jersey, whose
dissolution was ordered two weeks
ago.
Both the first and second sections
Of the Sherman antitrust law have
been violated by the so-called tobac-
co trust according to the court. Not
only has 1t, In the eyes Of the court,
restrained wrongfully and unlawfully
interstate commerce, but II has at
tempted to monopolize the tobacco
and Of its competitors.
While the decree was regarded as
unusually severe, at the same time
there was touch of leniency In not
making the combination an outlaw
now" The various elements Of the
combination are to be given an OPP
portunity, under the supervision of the
United States circuit court for the
southern district Of New York, Of re-
creation so that there may be brought
about "a new condition which shall be
honestly in harmony with and not re-
pugnant to the law"
nounced by Chief Justice White, who
also delivered the opinion Of the court
In the Standard Oil case. The entire
court agreed that the tobacco combi-
nation violated the Sherman antitrust
law, but Justice Harlan dissented from
the repeated Interpretation OF the
Sherman antitrust law so as to call
for the application Of the rule of rea-
son." In determining what restraints OF
trade were forbidden by the act. In
this respect the division of the court
was the same as in the Standard OIL
case. Justice Harlan also took issue
with the rest of the court as to reor-
ganization Of the tobacco company,
saying that he had found nothing In
the record which made him "at all
anxious to perpetuate any new COM
bination among these companies,
which the court comedies at all times
exhibited q conscious wrong doing"
The court reiterated its determina-
ton to follow "the rule Of reason" In
determining what restraints Of trade
violate the Sherman antitrust law.
Chief Justice White explained at
length the decision of the court in the
Standard OIL case, but did not qualify
the reasoning In that case so as to
harmonic 1t in any particular with
the dissenting views expressed by AS
sociate Justice Harlan and by other
critics of the decision. Tonight 1t Is
regarded as settled that the rule of
reason" will prevail throughout the
land in the Interpretation OF the Sher-
man antitrust law until at least the
personnel Of the court greatly changes
or the Sherman antitrust law is
amended.

GEORGE N. PRIMROSE
SEEKING A DIVORCE
His Wife, Concert Singer, Refuses to
Leave the East.

New York, July 19-George II. Prim-
rose, the famous old minstrel who has
amused several generations of Ameri-
cans. has filed suit for divorce in Ore
gon against his wife, Esther Nerney
Primrose, OH a charge of desertion.
The Primroses have been separated
for about year. the minstrel having
been playing in vaudeville in the
west, while his wife has been living in
New York city and the suburb of Mt.
Vernon, where he has owned valuable
real estate. They have no children.
Primrose claims to have established a
legal residence in Oregon during the
last two years.
1t would appear from what the
minstrefs friends say that he has
given over to his wife at various times
most of his fortune of s3000,O00 or
more which he saved from his earn
lngs during his leng stage career He
asks, in his petition to the court, that
Primrose Acres. fruit ranch, in Ore
gon, be given to him.
His lawyers say that he built a
beautiful country home for his wife
in Oregon. but that she refused to
leave the east and live with him. She

junior of the minstrel-who is close
to sixty-and insisted upon following
her own career.
