WITHIN THE TOWN,

Have you registered yet to vote In
municipal elections? Those who fail
to register before the coming general
election will be disfranchised so far
as municipal affairs are concerned
during the next two years.
Because it Is a new corporation, 1t
Is necessary to change the name Of the
Tavora Cotton mill; but the change is
only enough to comply with the tech
nical requirement. An IT" after the
initial letter is sufficient to accom-
plish the end desired.
w. w. Moore, adjutant general Of
South Carolina and Captain McMas-
ter of the United States army, in
spected Co. L, First regiment South
Carolina National Guard last Wednes-
day night. The company put up
quite a creditable inspection and
made a good showing on review. So
far as is known, the inspection was
entirely satisfactory.
The town council has been trying
the experiment of cleaning the sur
face of a section Of north Congress
street by a sluice washing process.
The means used was a section Of hose
guided by two negroes and the work
has been complete enough to disclose
the necessity of better paving. Unless
steps are taken to prevent, and that
pretty soon, the street will be in worse
condition than before the recent re-
pairs.

The Titanic disaster has still fur
ther emphasized the necessity Of ac-
ton that has been under considera-
ton for quite a while looking to gov
ernment control of wireless telegra-
ply The electric currents thrown in
to the atmosphere from a wireless
transmitter are liable to be picked up
anywhere; which fact of itself is not
so bad; but there are so many wire
less companies and so many individ-
ual experimenters, that with all of
them ticking at once it IS always diff
ficult and sometimes impossible to get
any sense out of the confusion. There
has been a lot Of this kind Of trouble
in connection with efforts to collect
news from the Carpathia about res
cued passengers. In spite of it all.
however, full and satisfactory lists
were telegraphed to shore and trans

Judge sease's doctrine that it is IL

Judge Seases doctrine that it is the
business Of jury to agree, is sound
and we would like to see 1t establish
ed. There is, of course, a good deal
to be said in favor of the man who for
conscience sake will hold out to the
end and make mistrial; but then,
there is also much to be said against
such a proceeding. While it is not to
be denied that there is such a thing
as improperly influenced jurors, it has
to he assumed that all jurors are good
and true. and this being the case, it
smacks of the unsatisfactory that one
man, or even two or three, should
stand out against the others and name
the verdict or force mistrial. 1t is
quite probable that if Judge Seases
idea is allowed to prevail the admins
traton of the law by means of juries
will be greatly smplified.

would not be granted. In that event
the full story Of the great disaster,
except such details as may be received
by wireless, meanwhile probably will
not be learned until long after the
Carpathia has docked. The White

company, Commissioner Of Immigra-

in the city's municipal lodging houses.

munication with the rebel. The situ-

munication with the rebel. The situ-
alton is really somewhat embarrass-
ing, and there appears to be no good
way out of it, because theoretically at
least, the position Of the Mexican gov
ernment is very we'll taken. If this
country gives recognition only to the
Madero government, then 1t can have
no dealings with the people who are
in rebellion against that government,
and If it recognizes Orozco 1t cannot
remain altogether friendly to Madero.
An attempt on the part Of this country
to punish Orozco would have to be re-
sented by Madero, and there is more
trouble. To be sure the Americans In
Mexico might get out of the country;
but they will hardly do that. AS to
what will eventually happen time alone
will develop; but one thing Is certain
and that is that this country will
either have to take a whole lot of hu-
initiation or go down into Mexico and
clean out the whole business.

In Spartanburg last week Judge
Gage had occasion to sentence a white
man to three months on the chaingang
for breaking into drug store after
morphine. The white man was once
a respected citizen; but falling into
the morphine habit, slowly but stead
lily increased the use of the drug until
he was unable to procure the money
with which to buy. At last, driven by
his craving for the horrible drug, he
committed a felony. The case Is in
deed pathetic; but it is hardly to be
said that it Is unusual.

The ways of diplomacy are too de-
vious for the average layman. The
United States government says that
the Mexican government, and Orozco,
who is in rebellion against that gov
ernment, must both be considerate of
Americans in Mexico. The Mexican
government gives assurance that it
will show proper consideration to
Americans, but goes on to say that it
cannot be responsible for OrozGo, and
finds fault with the United States gov
ernment for having any kind of COM

his part of the case will not be left
to Attorney General Lyon, who Is, as
everybody knows, one Of my most bit
ter political enemies and who would
not hesitate to do anything to save
Mr.. Rhame his position. This little
mockery which they are attempting
to go through with will not succeed,
as the supreme court will have the
matter presented to them from Mr..
Fraser's standpoint in highly intel
ligent manner and not by one who Is
attempting to help the other side.
or course, Mr.. Rhame Is entitled TO
his salary and expenses to the time
he was removed and the little pro-
ceedings against Jennings Is enough to
disgust the intelligence of the supreme
