The cotton spinners have made a second advance on their products to keep pace with the rise.in raw material. We suppose everybody is willing to see all the advancements that aro made necessary hy the advancements in the price of raw cotton. Mrs. Virginia D. Young has bought the Fairfax' Enterprise and in thefu , ture will be editor and proprietor. It is the only newspaper in South Caro lina owned and edited by a woman. Mrs. Young is a versatile writer, nod vre wish her much success. Is it not a good time for oar Mayor co follow the lead of Mayor Williams, of Greenville, in notifying negro va grants and others without a visible means of support that they must find work before the winter seisin or he will furnish them employment? There is no reason for the large numbers of idle negro boys on our streets, espe cially when we contemplate a recur rence of the suffering from cold and hunger last winter when many of them were fed by the city's charity. They must be put to work, and if they will not work, give them a dose of Street Overseer Jackson, Wo guarantee re sults._ _ We note with pardonable pride that the Grand Jury in its presentment en dorsed the stand taken by THE INTEL LIGENCES several weeks ago in refer ence to the blind and reckless binding over of immaferial witnesses by Magis trates: It entails an enormous expense upon the County, and if the suggestions of the Grand Jury in reference to re quiring an affidavit from the prose cutor in each case as to the materiality of each witness^ become a law hythe next Legislature, and is enforced, we. shall see a material decrease in Court expenses. Let our Legislative delega tion stick a pin in that presentment. It is worthy of their serions and thoughtful consideration. The refusal of President McKinley to interfere by officious offers of medi . arion or making common cause with either belligerent in the South African trouble is eminently prudent and proper. While our sympathies are with the Boers in their fight for right against might, we must not again ex cite the philanthropic risibilities of our deeply sympathetic Chief Execu tive into throwing around an oppressed people the storied protecting arm that shields our wards in the far off Philip pines under the alluring but illusive garb of independence. Oom Paul Kroger, the distinguished Supreme High Boer, requests us in the words of the illustrious somebody "to deliver him from his friends7' if the worst comes to the worst and the benevolence of our assimulative President dictates in the rame of humanity the driving of the British invader across the Yaal. , Messrs. Latham, Alexander & Co., of New York, have sent us a copy of their twenty-sixth annual publication en titled "Cotton Movement and Fluctua tions," which has become a standard . reference book in the cotton business. It is a handsome publication, and con tains some interesting facts and figures. . It reviews the crop of the past year, and says it was unsatisfactory alike to planter and dealer. The crop was the largest ever grown and the average price was lower than any year since 1844. Last year the farmers of the South produced more than 2,500,000 Dales' than the year preceding, and yet the crop was sold for $5,838,424 less than the crop of that year. Messrs. Igtham, Alexander & Co. speak en couragingly of the growth of cotton manufacturing in the South and the in fluence which jit will have upon the business. They say "the industry pri marily belongs in the South by all the right and advantages of natural laws, and we are pleased at the evident ap preciation in the South of her incom parable privilege and inherent advan tage. No leas than 68 cotton mills have been added during the last year to the list of those previously establish ed in the South, and those new mills will operate in round numbers a mil lion spindles.&The 'consumption of cotton by the Southern mills increased last year 167,548 bales over the previous year."_ The recommendation of thc Grand Jury last week in reference to the im position of penal servitude in lieu of the alternative and discretionary sen tence of a fine is exactly in line with the suggestions made to our members of the General Assembly two weeks ago, and we are glad to see that repre sentative body of citizens take the ad vanced and decided stand against an evil that needs heroic treatment. They liavefgone into the matter a little more thoroughly and probed a little more deeply than we, in that they bring to light, as n resultant evil, a slavery as -damning to the Country's honor as was ever sanctioned in ante-bellum days. This is a condition the Legislature can not ignore. The exigencies of the occasion and the inadequacy of the law to reach the seat of the trouble de mands most stringent, measures, and the people, through their juries, voice that demand and in no equivocal terms. We do not consider it amiss now to call the attention of all municipal au thorities and others in judicial posi tions having discretionary powers of imposing a fine or penal servitude, that a fine always works a hardship on, and a robbery of the poor criminal's family and not himself. In the cases reported to tho Grand Jury it sometimos-aye, often-amounts "to the abrogation of the personal liberty of his family while ho ?roos scot free. Away with such abominable settlements and bribes of justice, and make persistent crimi nals take the place o? criminals-on the public works of thc city or county. Grafting that tho disponsary is the best present regulation of the liquor traffic, as amoral institution it must be admitted to be a monumental fail ure, ono that dispenses vice nt the spigot but imbibes corruption at thc bunghole. The recent disclosures in the management of that great moral cesspool and gehenna of corruption, the State dispensary, by criminations and recriminations of various officers now and heretofore prominent in its management, justifies the public clam or for material and radical changes in the present iniquitous system. An in stitution so vulnerable to the besetting and [irresistiblo vices common to the State dispensary and its Board of Con trol should have a management so lim ited in power, and subjected to such close independent official scrutiny in even its '.proposed limited sphere of action that the possibility of nepotism, double dealiug, jobbeiy and roguery will be reduced to an infinitesimal minimum. It has often been said that an3r,'even remote connection with the whisky traffic is so antagonistic to good morals that a State attempting to regulate it must share th" same degradation as the individual. The recent disclosures only tend to illus trate the truth of the saying from the fact that constant and persistent temptation, aided by the defects of a law which permit unwarranted latitude and impene tratable secrecy in the pur chase of stock, is a most salubrious climate richly conducive to the growth of the exotic human weakness trans planted from the pure air. Where its fruits were honest toil it bears now figs and thistles. Let thc next Legis lature give to the State an amendment to tho present law that will remove all possibility of a recurrence of that in stitution's disgraceful past and save, at least, the immolation of good but weak men upon tho altar of insatiate greed for gold.
