The Federal government ha.

The Federal government has
withdrawn its support from the
South Carolina militia, because
the Governor is not in sympathy
with the Dick law, and is not dis
posed to enforce it in this State.
We are not sufficiently versed
with the provisions of this law.
to express an opinion but it
does seem to US if the young
m en- composing the N iii tt a
are willing to enlist under its
provisions the governor should
not object. He has always op-
posed this Dick law, and when
he learned of the action of the
war department be expressed
himself as well pleased. and said
he expected the legislature to
make the proper provision for
the State militia. The money
which comes from the federal
government IS largely spent in
encampments under the super
vision of an army officer.

We NEED THE MONEY.

I, Senator E. D. Smith proposes
to have the federal government
deposit with the banks Of the
cotton growing States the
amount of money now in the
treasury accrueing from the sale
of cotton seized at the close OF
the war between the States upon
approved security at a low rate
of interest. South Carolina's
snare would be about $500, 900.
The purpose of the bill is to aid
the banks to furnish money to
harvest the cotton crop this fall.
If tile banks get this money at
the rate Of interest Senator
Smith contemplates they will be
able to let the farmers have 1t
at a much less rate than they
have been paying in the past.
but then, the amount is so small
$500 600 for the whole State it
will not go veryfar. However,
every little helps.

tions are difficult to obtain, but
if the offenders were haled be
fore the federal court the
chances for convictions would
be greatly increased, therefore,
if the government will give aid
by Withdrawing the issuance of
the federal stamp tax, aud use
it's powerful force to run down
those who engage IN the busi-
ness of selling without having
paid this tax the State authori
ties would be enabled to make
the dry counties as dry as a
powder horn.
We doubt exceedingly if the
congress would take kindly to the
makingit discretionary with the
commissioner of internal reve.
nue. where he may issue what IS
commonly known as the federal
liquor license, but which in
reality is not license but GER
tifcate showing a tax has been
paid, because, if the commits.
sioner was given a discretionary
power by congress he could, if
he so chose, use this discretion
arbitrarily, and as there is no
power of congress to enact spe-
ciai laws for a State an act ap-
plying to this State alone would
not hold good.
Governor Blease is not a Pro
hibitionist, nor does he favor
the present plan of handling the
liquor situation, but from his
recent actions we Judge he is
trying to have the law as it
stands enforced which is hard
TO have done as long as the fed
eral government withholds it's
and on the contrary en-
courage the laws violation.

GET REGISTERED.

The several registration boards
are directed to give public notice
to open the registration books
on the first Monday in August
and keep the same open at the
county seat for the entire week
for the purpose of registering
voters. The order to these Off
GERS further says: Provide one
day for the towns in your county
other than the county seat, and
go there and open your books Of
registration, and to give proper
notice by advertisement the time
and place where the books will
be opened. The object of this re-
quirement no doubt is to allow
those interested in the counties
about to have elections for new
counties and dispensaries, to
have an opportunity to procure
the necessary certificates, and
also to prepare the people for
the political contest next year:
should those in control of the
lawmaking power enact legisla-
tion which will require the Ger.
tifcate in the primary. The peo'
pie should not neglect to get
registered; it is important that
every white man have this pa
per, because it will not only play
a part in the politics but in the
courts also; it is said that in the
case of T. B. Caughman, charg-
ed with the killing of rural po-
licemau Bateman, in Sumter
county, the attorneys for the de-
fence have already had the ju.
rors and witnesses subpoenaed
as witnesses and writs served
upon them requiring them to
produce their registration certif
icates and tax receipts. 1t will
therefore be seen that the ten
dency is to place every citizen
on a footing notwithstanding the
custom heretofore.

Governor Blease has done
away with "Hangman's Day, "
because he can ind no law fix
ing Friday for the execution Of
those sentenced to pay the death
penalty, and he contends that
any other day can be used for
the purpose. There may not he
a statutory day for the execution
of prisoners, but it has been
the custom for many m a n y
years to name Friday, and
we cannot see why the gov
ernor should break the custom
now. However, this is a prece.
dent breaking time. President
Wilson is constantly breaking
precedents, and the newspapers
commend him for it.

The embarrassment with regard
to the trip of the veterans to
Gettysburg has been relieved by
the timely proposal of Governor
Blease to borrow the necessary
money upon joint note signed
by himself and General 3. H.
league, the commander Of the
veterans of this State. Mr.. W.
A. Clark, president of the G .ro-
lima National Bank, kindly offer
ed to aid the governor, but Gov
ernor Blease had already obtain
ed the loan from Il personal
friend.

There is another rafting OF
the dry bones in the city of Go
lumbia in which the Chief Exc.
cutive and the city will probably
have a fall out in the courts. Ac
cording to 4 communication sent
by the governor to the county
dispensary board, the city Of Co.
lumbi has collected more money
from the dispensary profits than
it was entitled to, and he orders
the board to withhold from the
city the sum Of S4l. .oS487, and
pay the same over into the coun
ty treasury to be distributed be-
tween the public schools and the
county The governors action
is based upun the opinion Of the
attorney general to whom this
matter was referred. He con
tends that the city of Columbia
was only entitled to one third of
the dispensary profits and the
county and the schools two
thirds. but according to the re
ports flied, Colum5 5la was paid
by the former board one half in-
stead Of one-third.

A SERIOUS CHARGE.

District Attorney McNabof Sar
Francisco, a Republican, wired
his resignation to the department
of justice with the charge that
the administration has delayed
the prosecution of certain Grim
lnal cases against persons con-
nected with the man who was
recently appointed by the Presi
dent as commissioner general OF
immigration. In other words he
charges the Attorney General
of the United States with favor
itism, and thereby thwarting
justice. The cases the District
Attorney is prosecuting are for
the violation of the Mann white
slave Act and the son of the
commissioner of immigration is
one of the accused, he is also
prosecuting the officials on the
charge of conspiracy to defraud
the customs; these cases have
been ordered postponed by the
Attorney General. and the Dis
trict Attorney in charge would
not stand for it. The charge
made by McNab is one which
the government cannot afford to
treat lightly, he directly strikes
at the chief of the legal depart
ment of the United States, and
if the matter is not investigated
there will always be a suspicion
in the minds of the people that
because of the prominence of the
accused. the serious charge
against them will not be pushed
with the vigor such crimes
merit. McNab's resignation was
promptly accepted, but it is up
TO Attorney General McReynolds
to say whether or not "rich and
powerful influences are working
to defeat the prosecutions -
1t is possible that McNab
knowing that he would be dis
placed hy a Democrat was anxi-
Gus to throw up his job, and in
doing 81 get in the llmelight by
this sensational charge.
On the other hand, if it is true
the head of the legal department
has had the prosecutions delayed
in the interest of the accused
we imagine the President will
have a few words to communi-
cate with his Attorney General.

BRYAN IS IT.

The congress will, in all prob
ability undertake to have enact
ed into law at the present ses-
sion a currency reform bill.
There is strong opposition but
the bill agreed upon by the
leaders having the approval of
the President and Secretary
Bryan will go through. The
effect upon the financial world
is as yet problematic, the bank
ing interests are watching every
move of the administration, and
this no doubt is having its in
fuence today upon the present
stringency of the money market.
Congressman, Henry of Texas,
is one of those opposed to action
at this session. Mr.. Henry wants
the investigation of the money
trust continued before direct
legislative action is taken, and
if he CAN get Secretary Bryan
to support his views in opposing
currency legislation be hopes to
be able to hold it up, but with.
out Secretary Bryan's approval
his opposition will be ineffective.
Just why Secretary Bryan's
is needed for we do not under
stand, as that officials duties
have nothing to do with the
monetary legislation. but it
seems that it becomes necessary
to consult the Commoner about
the entire workings of the gov
ernment; in other words, Sec
retary Bryan's views are so
highly considered by the mem
bers of congress that they fear
to take an independent step lest
they bring upon themselves his
frown. Never in the history of
the country has the government
been under the influence of one
man more than at present. True,
Bryan is the recognized leader
of the Democratic party, it was
he who dominated the Baltimore
convention, and it was he who
had more to do with the policies
Of the party than any other man,
yet at the same time, there are
others who did much to bring
about the change of administra-
ton, but these it seems have
been relegated to the rear and
Bryan placed in the front rank.
How long this will continue
we connot say. If Bryan's poll
cies turn out to be what he
claims for them, everything will
work on smoothly and he will
continue to shape the policies, /
but let there come a time when
set in. those who are
under the Bryan domi-
nation will begin to make them
selves felt by starting a revolt.

A FEDERAL TAZ, NOT A LICENSE.

According to a letter from
President Wilson to Governor
Blease relating to the issuance
of Federal licenses "there is
no such thing as Federal IL
cense to sell liquor contrary to
State laws. The payment of the
Federal stamp tax entities the
holder of the stamp only to pro-
lection from prosecution for non
payment of the internal revenue
tax" We presume the governor
knew this to be the law before
hearing from President Wilson.
The United States government
does not grant license to sell,
and it has nothing to do with
the sale, the right to sell is
granted solely by the laws of
the State, but our understanding
is, the governor sought the in.
fuence of the President to get
the internal revenue department
which issues the stamp tax GER
tifcates to discontinue the issu-
ance of them in this State, ex.
cept to the legally authorized
dispensaries, and if he had no
law to back up such action, then
to ask the congress to grant the
right to the commissioner to re.
fuse the stamp tax to private in.
dividuals in this State.
Our understanding Of the mat
ter also is, the governor realizes
the difficulty of enforcing the liq-
uors in this State, and he believes
if the federal government will
withhold the issuing the license
tax many of the present illicit
dealers in the traffic will 60 out
of the business, fearing to sub
ject themselves to prosecution
in the federal courts where the
jurors are drawn from all over
the State, and have no local in
terests as is the case in our
State court where the jurors are
drawn from the vincinage.
The situation at present is the
State must rely upon the en-
forcement of the law by citizens
of the community where the
offence IS committed, and exper-
ience has proven that convic-

It is amusing to see how Sc
riously the Orangeburg Times
and Democrat takes the gov
ernor's joke about having the
editors watched while they are
in Charleston and at the Isle Of

Orangeburg editor is a totai ab-
stainer he seems to have all idea

President Wilson made hi

President Wilson made his
second visit to the congress to
deliver in person a message on
the currencv law which ne
wishes acted upon at this ses
sion. 1t is not usual for the pres
ident of the United States to
read his messages 10 congress,
but President Wilson has estab-
lished a precedent. T h e de.
livery of the currency message
took about nine minutes: and al
though it is couched in fine En-
glish there is nothing in it sug-
gestive Of the character Of bill
to be enacted into law.

The Orangeburg Times and
Democrat says that Governor
Blease is going to have two edi-
tors especially watched while
they are on the Isle of Palms,
and wonders what two of the
brethren going are to be thus hon
ored by his Excellency? What's
the matter with keeping an eye
on the Orangeburg brethren?

MRS. BLAINE LEFT $137, 658
Widow OF the Statesman Bcqueathed
$4,000 Specifically to Grandson.

The appraisal Of the estate Of Mrs.
Harriet Stanweod Blaine, widow of
James G. Blaine. the statesman, has
been filed in this city. According to
appraisers report, it was worth $751;
658 on July Is, 1903, the day Mrs.
Blaine died. The report did not ex-
plain why there had been a delay of
ten years in appraising the estate. At
the time of her death, Mrs. Blaine
lived in Augusta, Me-, and the assets
Of her estate taxable in New York
amounted to $2O.597. These consist
ed entirely of securities.
The nature of the assets outside of
New York was not disclosed in the
