He took the position that decided reforms were needed In the systems of be ling and storing cotton through local gin compression. He Insisted that cotton bagging be used instead of jute; that speculation In cotton where no actual delivery was contemplated be abolished, and the gradual abolition of a large per cent of local middle men. He urged the adoption of spot cotton exchanges at central locations where cotton could be sold direct to exporters and manufactures. He advocated the formation of permanent association of cotton growers and spinners. He Insisted that the staple price only be mentioned at high level by marketing the crop needed for actual consump tion. To this end there must De adequate warehouse and storage facilities to take care of growers weak financially. ? The question of appointing negro bishops, was on last Tuesday brought before the general convention of the Protestant Episcopal church, sitting in Richmond. In the house of deputies, majority and minority reports on the question were read, which precipitated a warm discussion. The majority report provides that the house of bishops may establish missionary districts upon racial lines, namely, for a specified race or races within the bounds of the dioceses and missionary districts established as authorized in section 1, either severally or in such groupings as it may be determined, provided that, in the case of a diocese church, racial Jurisdiction within the diocesean borders shall be first ceded by the bishop and convention of the dioceses. The minority report provides for appointment of bishops to preside over negro dioceses and with seats in the ho(use. but makes no mention of appolntment on racial lines. ? Wall Street Journal: Wall street has gained no satisfaction from the record of the past week. Prices of stocks, both railroad and industrial, have fallen to the lowest point of the year, and the market fairly slumped on Friday and Saturday, the railroad average closing at 93.34. Monday was In an exceedingly stringent condition, with rates for commercial paper and corporation loans almost scandalous in size and burdensome to all business operations. Lord Rothschild has given out a bearish Interview on the situa tlon to the effect that the depression in the international stock markets is due to governmental attacks on capital, especially in this country- Financial weakness developed in Holland, accompanied by the selling of American securities. A further decline in copper has taken place, and there has been a break in bar silver. Startling disclosures have been made in the traction investigation, and these have given another blow to confidence and increased the despondency of Wall street ? The town of Fontanet, Indiana, belonging to the Dupont Powder company, was destroyed by an explosion of the mills, located about a mile away, last Tuesday. About fifty people were killed and not less than 600 of the 1,000 inhabitants were more or less seriously injured. There were seven different mill buildings, each devoted to a separate process in powder making. The first explosion occurred in the glazing mill at 9.15 o'clock. Of the 200 employes, 75 were at work. These ran out of the buildings; but other explosions followed in quick succession and last went the magazine, containing 40,000 kegs of powder. A number of people had been killed and injured before the explosion of the magazine; but when the magazine exploded the wreck was complete. Every house in the town was destroyed and the concussion was felt two hundred miles away. Glass were broken from running passenger train windows four miles distant. The people naa au guuen uui ul men iwuoco wvfore the explosion of the magazine, and many who would have otherwise been killed thus escaped death. Many people were killed by concussion. Others were burned In the various buildings. Very few of the entire population escaped without some Injury. ? Washington, October 14: Commissioner of Internal Revenue Capers has rendered a decision relative to the manufacture and sale of alleged medicinal alcoholic compounds where, on analysis, it Is found that the said alleged medicinal compounds are suitable for use as a beverage. The commissioner holds as follows: "That a special tax is required for the manufacture and sale of alleged medicinal alcoholic compounds, or for the sale of malt extracts manufactured from fermented liquors, the drugs used in the manufacture of which are not sufficient In amount or character to render the product unfit for use as a beverage; or. In the case of cordials, extracts and essences, in which the amount of alcohol is greater than is necessary to preserve the ingredients, or to extract the properties or cut the oils, and hold same in solution. Manufacturers of alcoholic medicinal compounds, malt extracts, flavoring extracts. essences and soda water syrups who wish to avoid liability for special taxes must satisfy themselves that their products are within the limits herein defined; and those who put out alcoholic compounds of doubtful medicinal value, or containing a questionable excess of alcohol, must do so at the risk of being required to pay special taxes for the manufacture and sale of same." ? ut-iicitti liiiicvHui, uuiiuuiiuuei-iiichief of the Russian Siberian army, says a dispatch, has reported to the general staff in St. Petersburg as follows: "The Japanese government is erecting hastily in Manchuria and Korea fortifications and sending enormous quantities of ammunition to the place. Under disguise of various business enterprises, they are buying properties from Chinamen in all the strategically important points adjoining our Siberian frontier, especially around Vladivostok and Blagovestehensk, to accumulate the ammunition. Hundreds of similar cases indicate the preparation for war. Similar preparations are reported in the navy and in the harbors of Krosakoff in Saghalien. A special detailed report will follow by courier." At the time this dispatch was sent by General Linevitch the Russian police had arrested two Japanese spies near Blagovestehensk, disguised as Russian telegraph officials, who were making topographic measurements around the forts in Siberia. As was the case before the last war, the whole Russian Pacific coast and the adjoining points having forts of strategic importance in Siberia are again filled with Japanese spies. The coming visit of the American secretary of war, Mr. Taft, and his party In Siberia, Is regarded In Russia military circles, as a very Important event and strong sympathy Is prevailing for a Russo-Amerlcan alliance. General IJnevltch will meet Taft personally and have a long consultation. At a meeting of officers, General Linevltch said recently: "I would rather , present the whole of Siberia to the Americans than give the Japanese burial ground for a single soldier. The Americans helped us to make peace, but we will urge them now to declare a war and join us. We will be strong , enough on land, and I know the Amercans will be strong enough In their valiant navy." i ; |?hr *jorkriUc (Inquirer. YORKVILLE, S. C.i t Pbiniv fu'TnttPR 18 1Q07 i eniva j i wv/.* v ** ** .iv*, iwi Hon. John C. Sheppard of Edgefield, having declined to serve on the state board of education because of the fuss made by_ Mr. Martin, Governor Ansel has appointed Hayne F. Rice of Aiken, and Mr. Martin is making another row. Th? Hon. Champ Clark is quite sure that the nominees of the Republican and Democratic parties next year will be Roosevelt and Bryan. While there are many who would have it otherwise, it will have to be admitted i that there are good grounds for Mr. Clark's prediction. Mr. Martin's announcement that he i will not be a candidate for re-election [ to the office of superintendent of edu- , cation, probably means that he intends ] to be a prohibition candidate for gov- 1 ernor. He has not much of a record 1 as a Prohibitionist it is true; but as things have been going that does not seem to differ. ( Thhre really is something out of Joint in the advocacy of prohibition by the Columbia Record. If our contem- ' porary will go to work and clean the county dispensary system out 01 wenland, it will be In a splendid position ' to lead the prohibition forces next summer. But until after it has done , something- at home, we do not think it is likely to be regarded as a very high authority on such matters. With Walter Allen, Jim Sudduth, Harry Dean and William Smith all escaping from the penitentiary within the space of a week, it is beginning to look as if that institution is one that admits the going and coming of its inmates pretty much as they please. We are told that the escaped convicts will be caught; and we hope so. But , if they are not caught, who is to be held responsible? Mr. John Charles McNeill of the Charlotte Observer staff died at his home in Scotland county, N. C., on yesterday, after a wasting illness of several months. Mr. McNeill had made quite a reputation as a literary genius of a high order, and had won recognition both north and south. His newspaper work was admirable, and he had begun to attract wide attention both as to performance and promise. His untimely taking off is a severe blow to the Observer staff, as well as to thousands of readers who had begun to admire his splendid work. An unnamed citizen is quoted by the Columbia correspondent of the News and Courier as suggesting that Senator Latimer has outwitted the advocates of immigration by taking a somewhat ambiguous position on the question. The senator said he was In favor of the coming of desirable imtnlgrants from anywhere; but is opposed to the encouiagement of undesirable immigrants. He is opposed to according financial assistance to would be immigrants from anywhere, on the ground that an immigrant who has to be assisted is not likely to prove desirable. We are unable to see wherein Mr. Latimer has taken advantage of anybody In thus defining his position. sureiy ne is not expevicu iu any mat he is in favor of excluding any good and desirable people from this country, and surely also, he is not expected to favor an in-rush of th2 riffraff of Europe. Up to this time his position Is not very different from the majority of the thinking people of the state; out we will remark that if any of Mr. Latimer's friends or enemies expect to see him seriously tangled in a proposition involving political capital, they need give themselves no further worry. There was a big shake up on Wall street yesterday, and there Is no reason to believe that the worst has occurred yet. Speculation in copper stocks was the cause of the trouble. A strong combination of speculators that has been after F. Augustus Heinze for a number of years succeeded in bringing matters to a climax, and it looks as if they have gotten Mr. Heinze; but he says not. The firm of Otto Heinze & Co., was suspended from the New York Stock Exchange, the State Savings Bank of Butte, Mont., of which the Heinzes are the principal stockholders shut up its doors, and the banking house of Helmer-Loehlee of Hamburg. Germany, had to suspend. The Heinzes were also identified with this concern; but whether it was the cause of their embarrassment, has not yet been made embarrassment has not yet been made clear. At any rate, many millions are involved in the smash-up, and the full extent of the crisis Is yet to be measured. The Heinzes were attempting to corner United Copper, and were not quite big enough for the undertaking. The liabilities of the Hamburg bank will reach somewhere in the neighborhood of $7,500,000, and the liabilities of the Heinzes are close around similar figures. O.v another page we are reproducing form the Savannah Cotton Record, some interesting observations on the proposed elimination of the speculator. The argument In this article ap pears to be reasonable enough. That Is that the farmer wants to get rid of the speculator so the price of cotton will be better, and the spinner wants to get rid of the speculator in the belief that cotton will be cheaper. That these are the motives actuating the contending interests, there is very little question; but as to which is right can hardly be determined except by practical experience. We do not think there Is much reason to dispute the oft made claim that the speculator makes the price: but we believe he makes It too low more often than he makes it too high. We shall not consume the space necessary to explain why we believe this; but will ask the reader to be content with the well known fact that there is always less resistance to the downward trend of prices of anything than there is to the upward trend. However, that is not the point. If the speculator, or to speak more plainly the gambler were eliminated, and the question of fixing prices were left between the unorganized farmer and the organized spinner, we do not think there would be much chance for the farmer to get the best of it. But " fanmor nan nartant a thorouirh organization either along the Southern Cotton association or Farmers' union lines, build warehouses and regulate the marketing of the crop, he will certainly be able to take care of himself without the interventioh of the speculator. The "middle man" is another proposition. He is a necessity and always will be, if not as an independent operator then as an adjunct of the warehouses and the mills. He cannot be eliminated and it is not desirable that he should be. Thr Herald has been sent some cuts advertising the State Fair, which we are asked to insert free on the ground that the fair is a state institution. We regret that we cannot see our way clear to do this. It costs us money to get out our paper, and there is no reason why the country newspapers should not be paid for their space just the same as the dailies. We have noticed half page advertisements of the fair in the State and Greenville News, and we suppose these ads. were paid for. If so. why the discrimination? If space in the weeklies is worth anything at all, it is worth paying for, and, for our part, we do not propose to give away our space to anybody. The free list has been suspended on the Herald for some time. We notice however, that a number of weeklies are running the cuts, thus taking away trade from the merchants of their home towns and sending it to Columbia's merchants. Some time we wonder if country newspaper men will ever learn that they should work solely for the Interest of the merchants and business men out of whom they gret a living:-?Bamberg: Herald. Yes, contemporary, we also received these cuts. They came express paid, and along with them came a letter containing: a "complimentary" pass. But we are not using the cuts. If we felt that we were under any special negation to Columbia, or the "State Pair," we would be glad to discharge that obligation as we try to discharge other obligations, with cash. But really we do not see why The Enquirer should be the only institution in this locality to be called upon to contribute Its stock In trade for the purposes of the "fair," and until we are shown the reason and Justice of such a demand, we do not propose to comply. But we io not want to be understood as complaining at the fair people for not buying space in The Enquirer. We have no such complaint, and we have no feeling of resentment against them. If we did have such a feeling, we would not even be willing to give them the free advertising they will get from these remarks. MERE-MENTION.

A full repre- f entatlon of the churches was present, a nd the attendance by the people of n he community was good during all the 0 esslons. Rev. W. B. Mcllwalne was c lected moderator by acclamation. All 0 he reports of the standing committees ? evealed an encouraging condition of I he work of the presbytery at home t nd abroad. An interesting popular . meeting In behalf of home missions ' ,fas held Wednesday afternoon at 1 rhich Revs. James Russell, A. Walker c Vhlte and J. K.

The loss of Dr. Nev- j lie is most keenly felt by Bethel pres- ] ytery In whose bounds he spent the b reater portion of his ministry. The t ood people of Sharon well sustained a heir reputation for warm and un- r ounded hospitality.

The last to escape were Walter it \llen and James Sudduth of "Veen- b ville, white men, who had served sev- ? en yeabs of a life term for murder. U They had been "trusties" for four years, tl This morning they were sent as usual ? to the stockyards outside the penlten- c tlary walls to feed the cows and horses c; ind milk the cows. Two other "trus- s ties," negroes, were with them. The * last seen of Allen and Sudduth they a were in the loft throwing1 down feed.

Ing the month of December and on Saturday night Most of the mer- ? chants of the city have agreed to close ' sarly and willingly signed a petition ? to do so, though several flatly refused, ' while other* Blgned under protest The a indications are that the ladies will win the fight and by the end of the week they will in all probability have secured the promise of all the merchants who refused to close to fall into line with the others. In the event the merchants who have refused thus far to j sign the petition for early closing j; hold out, the ladies will resort to heroic measures and may not trade at their stores. The husbands of many >f the ladies are aiding them in the movement ? Judge Prltchard of the Federal court, on last Tuesday Issued a sweep- 1 ng injunction restraining the commls- A sion from winding up the affairs of the state dispensary, or paying out any money belonging to it The injunction ties up about $160,000, which the commission has on hand for the paymefit >f claims against the dispensary and l1 which is on deposit in a South Oaroli- H la bank. The Injunction was secured ay Garrett & Co., wine dealers of Wei- T Ion, N.

Dr. W. H. Timmerman, former state treasurer, refuses to acknowledge responsibility for the amount of the v ponds stolen during his administration, a aggregating $14,000 and Interest. In a reply to the letter of the attorney general making demand upon him for the amount he defines his position as follows: Yours of 12th instant is re- ? ceived in reference to stolen bonds tl claim. In answer thereto I will say t| that I do not consider myself morally d pr legallv bound for the value of the ? said bonds. I therefore will abide the b Jecision of the courts upon the ques- P tlon of liability. I will be slow to believe that the state of South Carolina ~ will be so unjust as to require of me payment for the stealage of a selfconfessed thief with the aid and instigation of a convicted criminal, neither of whom has yet received any punishment for their crime. And espe- n daily since I was denied by statute the n free exercise of my judgment in the laming of clerks in the state tress- w jrer's office, so I refuse to make set- 0 dement." Dr. Bates has in a like man ler rerusea 10 pay tne amount 01 ujo ? o?8 that occurred during his admin- h stratlon. Treasurer Jennings, answerid the attorney general's demand to si make good as follows: "Your letter of the 12th instant, replying to my re-mest. Informs me that my liability to ' the state on account of bonds stolen is 11.292.50. While I do not think that I im morally bound to make good this _ oss, I, as treasurer for the state, will lot resist payment by defending the suit, putting my sureties to trouble and iddlng cost thereto, but wilj pay the imount demanded as due by me." 11 P Why Thjssb Changes.?It is to laugh ^ when we read the eloquent editorials In the Columbia Record and the South- a sin Christian Advocate in favor of pro- P (libition these days, when but a few months ago, the Record was ? Lhe recognized organ of the state dis- 81 pensary, and the Advocate in its last issue before the primary gave the 11 weight of its influence for the retention of the state dispensary, but now, a without any expression of repentance, ? both of the friends of the late but not *r regretted state dispensary, are waxing warm and piously eloquent advocating 11 prohibition. We should like to know the cause of this change? Is it the P loosening of the political grip that J makes local option, with its prohibition u ind honestly managed county dispen- f' tarles more obnoxious than was the cauldron of corruption on the banks of :he Congaree known as the state disjensary ? The Advocate is expected to support prohibition regardless of the Dast attitude of its editor, yet to do to and have weight with the general jubllc an apology is due those it speaks p 'or now but the Record, the columns ? >f which until the state dispensary ihut up, was daily dripping with liquor, ind unblushingly defended those in :harge of the institution who were iving in a cloud of suspicion, now all . it once snatches up the white banner r >f Drohlbltlon to lead Its forces, only ? onfirms a prediction made while the " var was on. that "when the hogs are J nade to take their feet out of the disjensary trough, they will crawl under M he fence into the pastures of the pro- vl libitlonists looking for juicy grass."? R Manning Times. I< Statu Prohibition.?Senator Otts >f Cherokee has announced that he in- bi ends to introduce a state prohibition T >il| at the next session of the legislaure, with a provision in it retaining H he local option feature of the Carey- L ?othran act. with this modification: The whole state is to be made prohibl- ei ion, and then if any county wants the T lispensary it can get It by the usual L >etltlon and election. * di As It is now, a county that has a ol lispensary and wants to get rid of It J. las to get up a petition and secure an n< ectlon and vote it out?and when they ^ Jte It out they do not get rid of It len, as is shown In the case of Lauris and Kershaw and Chesterfield and ?rhaps other counties, where the ma>rlty voted against the dispensary and ie courts kept tt fastened on them, trough some technicality. In spite of ie vote. Senator Otts' proposed- bill would larantee to the people the right to ite a dispensary in if they so desired, id it would protect them from having dispensary forced on them through chnicalitles of the law and the irewdness of liquor attorneys.? ew berry Observer. Manolino ok School, Books.?The iperlntendent of public schools who ps the answers" from the backs of ^ te algebras and arithmetics used by' ie students of whom he has been giv1 charge means well, doubtless, but e think his action mistaken.

That granted, howver, would it not be far better "to tioose a text book which did not coniln answers? One of the most lmortant things that a child can be lught In school is to entertain a propr respect for the printed volume, and lis holds true whether special refer- ^ nee be had to the contents or to the , ook Itself, regardless of Its subject tatter. Let the child be inspired to a roper degree of interest in the one, nd he is more than likely to come In ime to respect the other of his own olltlon. , There Is, we fear, grave danger that i the average public school pupil this uddlng affection for books may reeive a fatal shock when the child sees hem rudely mutilated by those In auhorlty. The reason for the act will e forgotten by the youthful observer, ut the fact that "teacher" could thus ithout comDunctlon abuse that which lie child had been taught should be xalted will cling to the memory.? lews and Courier: + ? ?
