US. We are in distress. Good roads

Columbia, April 3.-Governor
B1ease is going to be subpoenaed be-
fore the dispensary investigating
committee and asked to tell what
he knows regarding matters con-
cerning the late State dispensary,

tons extended by the committee
end they are now going to compel
him to appear, if it is within thier
power to do so, and subpoena for
him has already been prepraed
This statement was made here
this afternoon by a member of the
committee, who also said, in the
same connection, that Thomas B.
Fielder, the Atlanta lawyer, was 60
ing to be subpoenaed.
In other words, the committee is
going to exercise its power, if it has
such, and compel the governor to ap-
pear and testify, and the will also
exhaust every endeaver to have 7.

Tribute to the Dog.

Justice Ira B. Jones, in delivering
the opinion of the supreme court in
the case of the State VS.. Langford, so
E. C. 322, pays the following tribute to
the dog:
= 1--WE should not let our con-
tempt for sheep-killing dogs and our
dread of hydrophobia do injustice to
the noble Newfoundland, that braves
the waters to rescue the drowning
child; to the Esquimaux, the burden
bearer of the arctic region; to the
sheep dog, that guards the shepherds
hocks in some countries; to the st.
Bernard dog, trained to rescue traV-
elers lost or buried in the snow Of the
Alps, to the swift and locile gray
hound; to the package carrying spah-
iel; to the sagacious settlers and poin-
ters, through whose eager aid our
tables are supplied with the game OF
the season; to the fleet fox hounds,
whose music when opening on the
feeting fox is sweet. to many ears; to
the faithful watch dog whose honest
bark. as Bryon says. bays deep
mouthad welcome as we draw near
home" or to that exterminating ter
rier. to the fee which the burglar
breads more than he does the sleeping
master; to even the pug, whose Tcry
ugliness inspires the alteration of the
mistress; to the brag possum and coon
dog, for which the owner will fight if
imposed upon; and lastly, to the pet
dog. the laymate of the American boy.
to say nothing of the 'yaller dog that
defies legislatures. Of all animals the
dog is most domestic. It's intelll-
gence. docility and devotion make 1t
the servant, the companion and the
faithful friend Of man. The raising
and training of dogs are now pursued
bv many as a business, large sum 0
money are invested in them, and they
are bought and sold as other proper
ty. In This State, by statute, dogs
are and have long been taxed as per-
sonal property, according to value for
revenue. AS tated in Sally V. R. r.,
"a s., 4S4: What the law taxes as
personal property it will protect as
much"

"Rock Hill Plan."

To the Cotton Growers of the South:
1 feel it proper and advisable in me
as one who should be best informed
as to probable results to be expected
under the Rock Hill Plan" move
ment for reduction Of cotton acreage,
to sound a final warning to everyone
who has signed the Rock Hill Plan"
pledge t. adhere strictly to it not only
as a matter of personal honor, but for
the sake of his own direct gain and
protection.
With equal emphasis l would urge
all, in their own interest, who have
not been reached by Rock Hill plan
canvasse1s. or who have declined to
sign the pledge, to cut the acreage
and cut it deep My opinion of the
judgment of the man who will in
crease his acreage this year is not
f1attering.
Planting time is about on through
out the bet, and the Rock Hill plan
work is leing closed up in the several
States, with an unusually late spring
prevailing generally over the belt. The
movement of fertilizer has gotten a
tardy start, but has put on a mighty
gait recently.
Those who look to late spring, the
noise of fertilizer reduction, or to the
other fellow doing the reducing-to
any combination e these-!o pr3tact
them against low prices-are apt to be
the ones to suffer.
The only safe course in the present
crisis is to cut the acreage and cut It
deep. Tie spring of 1897 is said to
be tn latest on record. The number
of acres planted that year exceeded
1896 by lO46,375, and the number OF
bales produced exceeded 1896 by 2
100000 with the result that prices
were low during the fall of 1897. If
we are to take 1897 as an example, It
will not do to depend on the bad
weather doing the work.
We have a four million bale sur
plus hanging over our heads. Import
ant foreign spinners who bought at
last falls low prices for three years
ahead, will not be in the market at
living prices this fall. Mill labor un-
rest and worldwide coal troubles
further initiate against us. To play
the game properly we should not
make more than 100000 bales this
year. The courage of those who filrt
with this condition is wonderful, but
their judgment would not do to de-
scribe for publication.
Let the cry be, Cut the acreage and
cut it deep Corn can be planted as
late as J. ly /, and the farmer will be
a great deal better off, if he raises
less cotton and more corn, for in the
end he will get as much for small
CROP as re would if be raised large
one. and have all his corn clear.

CANDIDATES FOR CONGRESS.
F. S. Evans and M. C. Long to
Oppose Congressman Aiken.
Anderson Mail.

Col. Frank S. Evans, of Green
wood, who was in the city Tues
day, declared that he is positively
in the race for congress to succeed
the incumbent, Hon. Wyatt Aiken.
Col. Evans name has been men
toned lately, but it was not known
whether or not he would enter the
race. He stated today that he has
been up in Oconee aud Pickeus
counties and that he has decided
after conferring with his friends to
chunk his hat into the ring.
Alongside of the colonel's mill
tary chapeau is the hat of Mr.. M.
c. Long, of Walhalla. who today
formally announces his candidacy.
Mr.. Long was considered as an as
pirant for the office of solicitor, but
some time ago stated that he was
thinking of this other move. He
is we'll known throughout this sec
ton On account of his work in Ger
tain criminal cases.
Col. Evans has never been an as
pirant in politics before. For a
number of years he was an inde-
pendent oil manufacturer at Green
wood and when he sold his plant he
was retained as manager by the
Southern Cotton Oil company. Lat
er he organized the Panola cotton
mill at Greenwood and recently
gave that up. He has long been
identified with the militia of his
county, being one of the few comp
any commanders to respond to the
order OF Governor Tillman to 60 tc
Darlington in 1894.
After arriving in Darlington
Capt. Evans did all that he could
to preserve the peace and dignity
of the State. In the terrible riots
at Phoenix he was again in service,
having company of volunteers to
preserve peace and order in this
country He was an aide on the
staff of Governor Hayward and also
of Governor Ansel. He states that
he proposes to make an aggressive
campaign.

have been thinking some more
about my little dog Penny, and the
editor tells me that he had dog nam
ed Penny once, away back yonder
when ne was young, but he says it has
not been fifty years since his little
dog died and was buried in one cor
ner oft he old garden which stood in
his country home, but because some
one kne-v that he had such doc he
has been accused of being me and he
resents it. He had better be proud OF
it. Well, you know, there were
lot of little dogs called Penny in the
good old days. don't think that is
a popular name in this day for the
fine dogs the rich folk have, but they
can't have any better dog than my lit
tie Penny was. The time for the mad
dog will soon be here and while the
dog is a great animal | think that he
should not be allowed to run at large.
Any more than cildren should be fuu

the peace and that on the Sabbath
day, by committing an assault and
