NO FREE WHEAT YET.
Hopes OF Reducing High Cost of Liv-

Washington, Dec. Slopes that

free impOrtations Of wheat, flour and
other wheat products from the great
South American grain producer, the
Argentine Republic. today went
glimmering when Assistant Secretary
Hamlin sent notice to collectors Of
customs that the retaliatory duty on
wheat and it's products must be en-
forced against Argentina and most Of

products are to be admitted free
from countries which admit such pro-
ducts free from the United States.
Argentina imposes duty on semo-

both the president and congress of
that nation are understood here to ia
vor repeal Of this provision Of their
tariff law, such action has not been
taken.

INJUNCTION AGAINST DISPEN

Florence, Dec. 3.-An injunction
has been secured by the anti-dispen-

posed dispensary in that community,
which has been from time immemO-
rial a strictly prohibition community
until the rapid growth Of the town
and the new order Of things intro
duced the blind tiger. Then many
thought that the dispensary would be
the best remedy, but the prohibition
lists still oppose both the dispensary
and the tiger and think that both
should and could be kept out. The
ground on which the injunction was
asked and granted was that there
was an appearance that the county
board had not been properly appoint
ed according to law, and that it had
no right to exercise functions. The
case Is brought by Arrowsmith &

DECLINE TO SUPPLY OIL.
Fuel Companies OF Mexico Deal Sc
riOus Blow to Huerta Government.

Mexico City. Dec. 2.-Preferring
to incur the displeasure Of the Huerta
government to q very practical mani
festatiOn of the rebels wrath, the
producing oil companies of the re-
public--with the exception of the
Waters s-Pierce-tOday cancelled their
contracts for supplying the National
railways with fuel Oil.
Late reports indicated that the
Waters-Pierce Oil Company still was
considering future action with re-
spect to it's oil contracts, but that the
Cowdray interests and Huasteca Oil
company already have cancelled their
contracts. The Cowdray people sup
ply the Mexican railway. The Waters
Pierce company supply less than
half the oil used by the railroads.
Government officials insist they
have on hand oil sufficient to last two
months, but much Of it is in Vera
Cruz, and there is reason to believe
that the Mexican railway will refuse
to transport it, fearing the rebels will
retaliate by cutting the line.
This is regarded as one of the most
serious blows dealt the government
because it is likely to bring about
early suspension Of all railway traffic,
which would greatly interfere with
military operations and would strike
vitality at the commerce of the coun-
try. Most Of the oil used by the rail-
ways is produced in the coast region
Of Tampico and southwark. This ter
ritory is Overrun with rebels, directed
for the most part by Gen. Candio
Aguilar.
In spite Of Gen. Aguilar's assurances
to Rear Admiral Fletcher that the oil
property would not be molested. rep
resentatives Of the companies have
been given to understand that further
sale Of oil to the government rail-
roads would he regarded as too great
a manifestation OF friendliness to the
consritutionalist enemy.
The oil companies action in ac-
ceding to what practically amounted
to a demand, is considered not at all
displeasing to the Mexican railway,
which is the property of British
corporation, as the cutting of the line
| from Tampico to San Luis Potosi had
diverted shipments to Mexico City
over this line from Vera Cruz. and
recently the management of the Mexi-
can railway was warned that it's line
would be cut il it persisted in NOV
ing oil.

lege. through its cooperative agent
OF the Division of Dairying of the

stratiOn at Sumter.
Correspondence between the local
commercial secretary and the Glenn
son College dairyman, Mr.. r. H. Ma
son, discloses the following informa-
ton which is of interest to thousands
OF Sumter county people.
The United States Department of
Agriculture and Clemson College are
striving to educate the masses as to
the proper care Of cows and calves,
the most hygienic. profitable, and
convenient way of handling dairy
products.
The courses Of instruction will con-
sist, in the main, Of explaining the
use of the cream separator and
making the Babcock test, churning
and butter making demonstrations,
talks on marketing dairy products,
raising calves and feeding of the
home cow.
The object of these instructive
courses is to stimulate interest in
dairyink, making of better butter on
the farm, and IN the general care
and improvement OF the farm or
town cow. The work will be simple,
practical, and adapted to sections in
which the demonstrations are held.
Secretary Reardon feels quite conf
don't that he has landed one course
OF instruction for Sumter county. but !
it is not quite sure as yet.

before the governor will be called
upon to issue his proclamation or
dering an election to cut off about ~
square miles Of territory from the
western section of the county. AS
we understand it, the proposed Sec
ton to be cut off and annexed to
Sumter county, is from the Sumter
line through the whole of Fulton
township to Cutters mill, then on to
New Hope Church to Santee River.
This will take in Rimini, and a part
OF Calvary township. making in all.
according to the plan, II square
miles, part Of which is very fertile
land. The main reason for this de-
sire to go to Sumter county is the
fact that practically Of the business
OF tnat section is done in sumter be-
cause Of railroad facilities. and then
too. it is nearer than to Manning.
and while we dislike to loose these
good people, and feel sure that they
will learn the move has not been
profitable to them, yet it would be
useless for us to undertake to argue
the matter with people who have
determined to take the step. The
county commissioners have been
contemplating to do a considerable
amount OF work in that section, and
had hoped to begin at an early date.
but If the people in Fulton and a part
OF Calvary are determined to go to
Sumter it may alter the plans OF the
commissioners. We presume the
election will be held in this year.

BANK TO GO I.TO LIQUIDATION,
stockholders of Bank Of st. Charles
Decide to Wind up Affairs OF Bank
January 1st.

AT meeting Of the stockholders
Of the Bank of st. Charles. held Sat-
urday, November 29th, resolution
was adopted directing the board of d.
rectOrs and officers TO proceed to wind
up the affairs Of the bank and to place
the institution in liquidation January
lst. The bank is in a sound and SOL
vent condition and has on hand more
than sufficient funds to pay off all the
depositors in full and the stockholders
will lose nothing. The decision to place
the bank in liquidation was reached
after mature consideration following
careful analysis of the business of
the bank during the year it has been
in existence. 1t was clearly appar-
ent that the field at st. Charles is not
large enough to support a bank, the
deposits throughout the year having
render the operation of the bank pro-
fitable. A canvass of the situation
convinced the stockholders that 1t is
not possible to increase the average
deposits to the point that would make
the business Of the bank satisfactor-
lly profitable, and as the bank cannot
be conducted at a profit without larg-
er deposits and a greater volume of
business, there is little inducement to
continue the bank. The stockholders
looked at the matter from q strictly
business point OF view, and being sat-
isfied that the outlook was not encour-
aging, decided to wind up the bank
and withdraw their money.
st. Charles is so situated that the
bank located there must compete di-
rectly with the older and stronger
banks Of Sumter. Mayesville and Bish-
opville, and while it is great con-
venience to the merchants and other
business men Of the immediate vicin-
ity, the closing of the bank will not
deprive them Of banking facilities or
| interfere with their business, the
competing banks in the places men
| toned being able and anxious to take
| care OF all the business of the st,
Charles section. The experience of
| the Bank Of st. Charles bears out
the prediction that was freely made
| last year when a number of small To-
cal banks were in process Of organi-
zation in this section of the State
that there was no field for these
cinet business in these restricted To-
calities to support bank and give the
stockholders a reasonable profit on
their investment.

"crine trust" bunk to keep the pub
lie mind, and the regular grand
jury's activities, off any investigation
of alleged frauds in the election of a
states attorney.
Then the Republican, Socialist and
Progressive candidates who ran for
states attorney against Hoyne last
year applied to Judge Cooper for a
special grand jury and special states
attorney to investigate charges of
fraud in the election.
Knowing that this application was
before Judge Cooper, Hoyne hurried
before Judge Kersten and made ap-
pication for a special grand jury, al
though he had bitterly opposed any
special grand jury before, and said no
special states attorney would be ap-
pointed if he could prevent it.
However, he got Judge Kersten to
grant a special grand jury, and to ap-
point a personal friend of Hoyne,
Clyde L. Day, special states attor-
ney.
Rinaker, Guinea and Haight in
sisted on the appointment of a special
grand jury and states attorney by
Judge Cooper, and evidently did not
want to testify before Judge Ker-
stems special grand jury.
Judge Cooper then decided to
grant a special grand jury and spe-
cial states attorney. And there the
matter stands.
In the meantime it is up to the
county board to decide which special
grand jury and states attorney it will
grant money for the expense of the
investigation; and as the county
board is anti-Hearst, indications are
it will ignore Hoyne's pal, Day, and |
recognize as official the jury and |
states attorney to be appointed by |
Judge Cooper.
In the meantime Hoyne and the |
Hearst papers are attacking Judge |
Cooper and charging that the |

Judge Kersten on to stand pat and
fight Judge Cooper, while the other
papers are backing Judge Cooper up.
So we have the prospect of two
special grand juries, directed by two
special prosecutOrs-one investigat-
ing the election in sympathy with
Hoyne and the other not yet named,
but presumably to be satisfactory to
the three candidates who ran against
Hoyne.
It is said that Judge Cooper be-
longs to the anti-Hearst Democratic
faction and that Judge Kersten lis
friendly to the Hearst faction, al
though that ought to have nothing
whatever to do with an honest in
vestigation.
l don't care a thinkers dam for
either of these factions or any other
political faction, and l can't see
where the other trust newspapers
are any less selfish and partisan than
the Hearst papers, but up to date it
looks to me as if Judge Cooper has
the best Of the argument, from the
point of view of the people of Chi
cago.
For after all the real question is
who was really elected by the voters
last fall, and whether the votes were
counted as the voters cast them.
If Hoyne was honestly elected, I
can't see why he objects to an inEes-
tigation of the charges by an impair
tial grand jury and states attorney.
He hasn't strengthened his case by
insisting that he conduct the inves-
ton of his own election, either
personally or through a special
states attorney picked by him.
Hoyne may be entirely honest and
sincere, but his frantic efforts to con-
troll the investigation into his own
election are very apt to make people
