The Copper Situation.

Although the volume or actual business in copper metal continues comparatively light, the general tone of the market is declared by lead ing producing interests to be very steady. The general market quota tions remains at 14Ac and according to some interests, no difficulty is experienced in making that price and some very important transactions have been closed on that basis. Electrolytic ranges from s14.75 to s14.S71a.
 It is understood that several very important inquiries are in the mar ket, amongst them being 10,000,0O0 pounds for shipment to Russia.
 Both England and France are said to need large amounts of metal, and there is every indication that there are very important developments at hand.
 The American Smelling and Re- lining company recently shipped from it's Baltimore refinery on two steam ,, CTS, the largest single consignment of copper that ever went out of this me dflDuHt lHNOlNtu was , 15.0S0, 900 pounds, and was destined for Havre. The boats carrying this cargo were specially chartered by the company and carried the English flag. Such is the scarcity of freight room that the company is compelled to charter it's own steamers if it is to get it's copper to destination.
 The copper statistics from Wash ington on the 5th, inst, showed eX- ports of copper at the ten principal customs ports during the week end- ing February 2, totaled $l.467,214 or 1O,172,719 pounds. The department of commerce announced imports for the week were 3,504,296 pounds worth $37S,103. France, Italy, England, Canada and Denmark were the principal buyers And the demand in all these directions suggests lar gely increasing demands.

What Thoroughbred"
"Purehred" Mean.
and

A reader wants to know why it is
not correct to use the term
''thoroughbred", except to designate
a certain breed of horses.
The only reason anyone can give
is that the practice or usage of stock
men has so ordained. This accept
ed usage is purely arbitrary, and we
believe unwise and without reason.
There is no good reason as we see
it why this good word. Thorough
bred should have been diverted
from its original and correct use
and arbitrarily assigned as a name
for a breed of horses and the ban
put on its use in any other way.
But custom or usage makes law,
and there is no appeal from this
law. Well informed up'lo-date
stockmen do not now use the term
"thoroughbred"a as synonomous with
"pure-bred," but use it only to
designate a breed of horses-the
running horse. As our inquirer
indicates. many of the dictionaries
still favor the original and correct
use of the word, but some lexico-
graphers are beginning to also re-
cognize it's new and arbitrary use
as the name of a breed of horses.
The power of custom is great, and
however arbitrary and unwise the
perverted use of the word may ap-
pear, il is probable that it's use For
any other purpose than as the name
of breed of horses will decrease
and In time become extremely rare.

Aiken in Debt, Treasury Empty

Aiken, Sept. 9.-Thirty thousand
dollars in debt, with nothing in the
treasury. Aiken county is unable
to pay off, to meet it's regular
monthly bills or to pay salaries to
the county officers.
On September. the last of the
county funds were paid out, a few
of the county officials being paid
off.
No current bills were paid.
1t is impossible to state when
these will be paid, or when the sit
uation will be relieved, as the coun-
ty has borrowed to the limit; and
taking the whole amount of the or
dinary county taxes, for the year,
to be paid into the county treasury,
about $27,5Oo, this would fall more
than $4,000 short of paying the
county's Indebtedness.
Two years ago Aiken county had
$45, 900 to its credit.
Twenty thousand of the $50, 900
indebtedness is owed for the post
road, and $4,000 has been borrow
ed for ordinary county purposes.
Out of the tax money, the county
is obligated to pay $4,000 on Its
indebtedness this fall.
The situation is serious, especial
ly because, should the county con-
tinue to receive aid through the dis
pensary, as in the past, such relief
would only be temporary.
1t is not at all improbable that
the grand jury will, when it con-
venes the latter part of this month,
make an investigation and recon-
mendations to the court.

of an attractive and judiciously placed

they advertise only at long intervals,

of respect for law. This must be kept
up. The more law abiding our people
are, the better their condition, the hap
