If there is any business that re-
ouires decision it seems to us that
that business is the military business
First the secretary of war was going
to have the military encamped at
Charleston Then that was rescinded.
Next the encampment would go to
Augusta. The governor would not give
permission for South Carolina troops
to go unless assured that in the event
of their being called for service in
Mexico, they would be returned to this
state for mobilization. That assurance
was given. Then there was an order
that the troops would encamp in this
state. and that was turned down IN
favor of Augusta. Now, because of a
condition that has been known to eX-
ist since last spring was year ago.
the invitation for the encampment OF
South Carolina troops has been with
drawn entirely. We have not kept up
with the whole thing very closely; but
somehow to us it looks like there has
been not little vaccilation in connec-
ton with it,

- Treasury department officials
show only a passing interest in the
phenomenal expectation OF gold
through New York. $70,000,OOO since
January /. The gold reserve supply
at the New York sub-treasury prac-
tically was exported and over 100000
900 was sent TO New York last week
from other sub-treasuries. What
difference does it make If Europe
draws on us for 500, 900, 900 or $780,
900, 900 WORTH" John Burke, treasur-
er Of the United States, remarked Sat-
urday, when asked about the move
ment. THE United States has plenty
of gold We are not like countries
which have only a limited amount.
We have more than a billion dollars
worth of gold in reserve. A slight
balance Of trade against us can easily
start the gold moving toward Europe
and / understand that two railway
corporations are about to retire some
bonds issued in Europe which must
be met with gold" George E. Rob-
erts, director of the mint. believes the
new currency law will check the flow
of gold to Europe. Under the new
system, he says, there will be a CEN
traliZed control of the discount rate
and a careful supervision Of the credit
situation. BY establishing a reliable
discount rate in this country, Mr.
Roberts thinks the new banking sys-
tenn will put American rates on COM
mercial paper on a par with the for
eign market and induce foreign banks
to buy American commercial paper.
Ply effecting a more universal inter-
change of investments, Mr.. Roberts
believes the new banking system will
lessen the transfer of gold.

crops on his plantation that he has
ever had. In some cases the stands are
poor; but generally the crops are
good. There are other good crops and
some poor ones; but generally where
there is a bad showing, it seems to be
more the fault Of the season than OF
the farmer.
Liquor Agent Arrested.
+. NJ Davis, publicity agent of the
Hull Street Liquor Co., Of Richmond,
| Va, was arrested at the old depot in
Yorkville last Saturday and required
| to put up 5000 cash bond for his ap-
pearance at the July term OF the court
| OF general sessions. Davis was charg-
ed with distributing liquor circulars.
1t seems that he got on the c. & NV.
! at Gastonia, and was occupied in
| throwing literature out Of the car
windows all the way to Glover. Some
one happened to see the agent engag-
| ed in this work just after he left Clo-
yer and the Yorkville authorities were
| notified to look out for him. When the
| train reached Yorkville, Deputy Sher-
| iff Quinn got on board, and for a few
moments was busily engaged in spot
! ting his man. Soon he saw Davis
throwing out his circulars, and arrest
| ed him. The train was stopped at the
| old depot and deputy and prisoner got
off. Davis claimed he was within his
rights in distributing the printed mat
| ter Sheriff Brown did not think so
| and asked ]. s. Brice, Esq, for the law
on the matter. The case Of the State
VS.. Davis from Laurens county, which
case was similar to the one at issue,
was cited. Upon examination the
agent admitted that he was the same
Davis who was tried at Laurens.
There being nothing else to do the
Hull st. Co.'S agent gave bond for 5000
| and left for parts unknown.
Moore and Willis.
The Charleston Sunday News gives
the following as to w. w. Moore and
NJ. C. Willis, candidates for adjutant
general at Georgetown, last Saturday:
"Adjt. Gen. w. w. Moore, for e-elec-
| ton, led off this morning. He defended
the manner in which he had received
the endorsement Of the majority Of
the National Guard, which had been
criticised by his opponent at Monck's
Corner yesterday, and read circular
letter sent out by Capt. Willis some
time ago In support Of his charge that
Capt. Willis first started about finding
out whom the National Guard wanted
to endorse. He said his endorsements
were voluntary NJ. c. Willis, Of York
vile, candidate for adjutant general,
presented his claims. Capt. Willis
telling Of unexpended balances revert
ing to the war department because 1t
was not spent in the year in which it
was appropriated, said S3,770.05 had
been turned back which was not spent
on the naval militia, and he thought
this showed incompetency on the part
Of Gen. Moore. He said he thought
the trouble with Gen. Moore was that
he tried to run the militia from Wash
ington. Gen. Moore, rising to reply,
said the naval militia fund which was
not expended was appropriated for
arms and equipment, and could not be
spent for other purposes; that the
naval militia was equipped. Applause
greeted this and a cheer, 'Hurrah for
Moore!' was heard from the audi
ence."

Some of the candidates are making
no hesitation in declaring themselves
for or against Blease. Messrs. Jen-
nings and Pollock both say that as be-
tween Blease and Smith, they would
not hesitate to vote for Smith; but
Smith. we believe, has not yet seen
proper to say that as between Blease
and the other two, he would vote for
one of the other two. Most of the
candidates for state officers recognize
that there is an issue, and some say
without hesitation which side of it
they are on. Some assume, as they
have a right to do that they have re-
cords of their own, and do not care to
be voted for because Of their attitude
to the governor. If Senator Smith
fails to assume the same attitude to-
ward the governor as does Messrs.
Jennings and Pollock, and the second
race should happen to be between
Governor Blease and Senator Smith,
il is quite probable that many sup
porters of Jennings and Pollock will
vote for RleaSe on the ground that
Smith was against them on what they
conceive to be the real issue.

- The senate judiciary committee
has decided to eliminate from the
house antitrust bill words which law
yers say would legalize the blacklist.
Although less than half the commit
tee attended the session and action
was described as tentative, 1t was be-
lieved generally that the entire COM
mittee will approve. The portions of
the bill acceptable to organized labor
were only slightly modified and their
principal contention for the limiting
Of injunctions in labor disputes was
agreed to practically as written in the
house bill. The committee expected
TO finish it's work next week and report
the bill to the senate. The committee
struck out language which "ould
have banned injunctlons against
picketing or attendance at the home
or working places Of any person for
the purpose of peacefully obtaining
or communicating information"

MEXICO AND MEXICANS
Miscellaneous Developments Bearing
Upon Troubled Conditions.

An extraordinary session Of the
Mexican congress was called to meet
in Mexico City, yesterday.
Parties arriving at Vera Cruz from
Mexico City, state that Huerta is conf
dent that he will be able to come
with honor out of the situation, since
he considers that even if mediation
fails, President Wilson dares not de-
clare war, since America let him have
the cargoes of arms, as every Ameri-
lean killed would die as a result of
Huerta obtaining those arms. 1t is
also stated that Huerta is confident he
will be able to make considerable
progress against the rebels in view Of
the present disorganization and fric-
ton in the north.
General Funston has reported to the
war department that the Federal
troops in the vicinity of Vera Cruz are
acting suspiciously and has asked
permission to extend his outposts and
materially strengthen them. The
Mexicans in the vicinity of the Mata-
works at Tejar, are assuming a rather
menacing attitude.

- Six established steamship lines
already have served notice upon the
Panama canal management of their
intention to make regular use Of the
waterway One vessel from the west
coast ports Of South America will be
at the Pacific gates OF the canal July
3, seeking to make her way to Liver
pool by that route and thus to initiate
fortnightly service between Liver
pool and the west side Of South
America. An American steamship
line now operating four steamers on
the Pacific side and six on the At
lantic are waiting the opening Of the
canal to merge all ten into a regular
line between San Francisco and New
York. Hawaiian sugar, which has
already begun to come through the
canal on barges, being trans-shipped
at either end, will be carried in un-
broken cargoes from Honolulu to
New York just as soon as Governor
Goethals gives the word that regular
steamships may use the waterway.

A correspondent from the low coun-
try who is very much experienced in
matters political, writes The Enquir-
er: "Of course, it is hard to tell just
yet with any degree of certainty; but
il looks like Manning and Richards in
the second race for governor" We felt
quite sure some time back that 1t
would be Manning and McLaurin. Ac-
cording to our way Of figuring the
candidacy of McLaurin would have
forced things out that way; but now
we are lost. OF course we still have a
guess at the matter; but just at TINS
moment we do not feel that we could
guess with any degree Of conviction

The arrangement whereby men,
bers Of the state campaign party
agreed that the gubernatorial candi-

At Walterboro Yesterday.
The senatorial candidates were at
Walterboro yesterday, after having
suffered a delay of several hours by a
/. 900 people in attendance. and it was
mainly Blease and Smith crowd, the
applause being generally for these
two candidates. Both the senator and
the governor were the recipients Of
flowers and the governor said he
would keep his for the senator's polit-
ical funeral. Governor Blease spoke
first and in the course of his speech
said that he could beat all three of
his opponents in the first primary by
from 5000 to 1900 votes. He de-
nounced as a falsehood a story that
is being circulated to the effect that
he is being supported by L. w. Parker
and the cotton mill trust. He said
that Parker is one of his bitterest po-
itical enemies and is supporting
Smith. He disclaimed any RESPONSE
bility for the withdrawal of the invi-
tation to the South Carolina troops
for the militia encampment Of Au
gusta, saying that it was because of
shortage Of 100000 worth of the
governments military equipment; but
he made no charge in connection with
the matter. He denounced the new
primary rules and enrolment reg
ulations as the work of mill cor
porations and corporation attorneys
who thus seek to control the eector-
ate and run the state; but he predict
ed that the effort would fail. Mr..
Jennings made about the same speech
he has been making, attacking the
governors pardon record and defend
ing the work Of the recent state con-
vention. Mr.. Pollock characterized
Senator Smith as a whole lot of hot
air." and said of Governor Blease: "A
great big mouth, a great long tongue,
hell of a fuss and nothing DONE"
Senator Smith made speech in which
he dealt with his record in the senate,
told some funny jokes and received
generous applause. Both Pollock and
Jennings were asked pointed ques-
tions as to their connection with the
recent state convention and the new
primary rules, and were kept pretty
busy making replies, which were gen.
orally ready and direct and sometimes
more or less witty.
