The Columbia "Register" is now the only newspaper published in Co lumbia which has the associated press dispatches, and of course, it would have its readers to know that it has the advantage over its contem porary, the "State;" but all the same the "State" gets there with equally as good press service. Just how the '-State" manages to get "to-days news Lo-day" is not known, but after all the blowing of the "Register," we - n~aie that we are not the only ones wondering where the "State" gets its news. "There are others." If the "Register continues to refuse the use of its columns for "fair play" it will learn that it is not the only pebble on the beach. "There are others." We are not the only ones in South Carolina who believe that the "Regis ter" has been cajoled by the enemies of John L~. McLaurin. "There are others" The Spartanburg "Herald" is not alone in thinking, "if the Columbia 'Register' is determined to exter minate 'Curley Headed Johnnie Mc Laurin,' in our opinion a heavier weight than J. Billie Stokes will have to be found." "There are others." "The sound of the shears and the drip of the paste brush issued cheer ily forth from our esteemed contem porary last night. The 'telegraphic' editor was busy fixing up 'dispatches' clipped from day-old New York papers." But Oh ! what a dif ference in the morning wvhen the "State" came out chock full of bran new crispy press news. "Register," it never pays to shout until you get out of the woods. In the meantime place a guard at your back stair case and another on Watson, if you pro pose to keap all the news for yourself; then go down into your cellar and ask the good Lord to forgive you for your foolish treatment of one of South Carolina's representatives. HARD TO KEEP 'E.M QUiET. Tbte Greenville "News" is up to its neck in tightmng. Sheriff Bradham, following the example of Governor Ellerbe addresses a ltte~r to the editor of the "News" attempting to flay him. Neediess to say, the editor rather takes the hide off the sheriff. The News is a hard fighter and it takes more than a Governor and a sheriff to keep it quiet.- Charleston Post. The "News" is a hard fighter we all admit; its fighting is not so much in what it says, as its constancy in saying it. The "News" and the "Post" remind us very much of the old woman who said "scissors." In our judgment, Sheriff Bradham's let ter was a clear showing up of the "News" editor's inconsistency and the Governor put the "News" to scratching all around the subject tun der discussion. We agree with our contemporary that it takes more than a Governor and a Sheriff to keep such a noisy make up as the "News" quiet. Brother Post, has it ever oc curred to you that there is a very striking similarity in the editorials of the "Post" and "News?" Long as sociation no doubt makes it so, or it may be that great minds(?)run in the same channel. It is really hard to distinguish whether "Ball is Waring the 'We,' or 'We' is Waring the Ball." But it matters not, both, our friend at the Mountains and our friend at the Sea is very hard to keep quiet.

CHANDL The State Board of Control, at its last meeting, failed to select a chair man and the matter was postponed until some future time. The ballot stood: Jones, 2; Douthet, 1; Wil iams, 1; blank, 1. Col. Jones, the present chairman, declining to vote for himself, cast the blank vote. Col. Wiley Jones is cashier of the Caro-, lina National Bank, a man of large: means, and whose name to any busi ess concern is sufficient to give it a restige all over the commercial. world. He is not a politician nor id he seek the chairmanship of the oard, but he was known to be; riendly to the Dispensary law and is business ability together with his uquestionable integrity made him he unanimous choice of the General ssembly when he was elected a ember' of the board. The board ade-'him chairman, and under his dministration, the Dispensary has een managed with scarcely any frie ion, and as a business institution sould be. He could have been ire lected chairman at the last meeting~ ad he been so disposed, but he; ould not vote for himself. For ome reason two of his colleagues did ot vote for him. Whether these two oted for each other or each one oted for himself is not known, but t is known that Williams and Do u het received one vote each and that either voted for Jones. We hope t the next meeting the matter will e settled and that Colonel Jones will ontinue at the head of the State oard. The Dispensary was taken out of; olitics, as it should have been, and we sincerely hope those in charge of its management will not let it get ack into politics. It is a business nstitution and should be run on usiness principles and not for the ratification of this or that mans s hims nor for the punishment of this r that man's political grievance. We see it stated that Congressman . W. Stokes did not deliver the peech antagonizing McLaurin which was published recently in the "Regis ter," but that he obtained perawission o have it printed without delivery. f this is true, we are very much dis ppointed in Mr. Stokes, for we have lays entertained the opinion that r. Stokes was a fair man and that e would scorn to take such a sneak ing advantage. By not delivering his speech, McLaurin was cut ofY from a reply and Stokes slips in a hance to strike McLaurin wvhen he as not looking. If Stokes' speech . was full of merit as an egg is full of meat, the way he sneaked it in, (de stroys its practical use as far as the; people of this State are concerned. The people love fair play and dle-: spise anything which smacks of dark lantern practices. If the politicians of South Carolina who are taking issue with Mr. Mc aurin will come out in the ope~u and go before the people upon the issue raised, they will dliscover that the people are in sympathy with the idea to cut loose from sentiment which was only practicable a century ago. This is an age of business progress and in order to keep from being run >ver in the mad rush, the people have learned to grasp things practical and let things sentimental rest in the graves of our forefathers. If protee tion of our cotton will aid in the tak ing off of the burdens so heavily pressing down upon us, then that is, what is needed and wanted, whether it is in accord with the sentiments of would-be statesmen or not. The people are heartily sick and tired of' sentimental bosh, and if the protec tion of our cotton is a good thing, push it along. LO'2K THE DOOR Befre the horse is stolen.

E R, the Clothier, The State Beard of Control, at its meeting last Thursday decided to postpone the election of a clerk until its next session. There has been, and still is, a considerable interest mani fested in the selection of this import ant officer, because it is known that only a bookkeeper of wide experience can till the p~la(ce The present in eumtbent, Col. Seth W. Scruggs, has held the position with ability, and there is not the slight est complaint of his work, but from what we can gather, he is not hand in glove with some of the poli tical hangers-on and they are fighting him to the death. In our judgment the board would be committing a rave mistake if they allowed politi al piques to influence their action in selecting a man who must of all men know his business. The clerk of the board should not only be an experi enced bookkeeper, but he should be a manl with candor enough to inform the board whenever he discovers mistakes in any of the Dispensary departments. We know of .no man in the State better qualified for the position than the present incumbent, and we sincerely hope the board will re-elect him. The business condition of the coun try is improving, says Dun's commer ial reports, but nevertheless, banks are failing every day, and large mer cantile establishments are going to the wall, carrying with them the smaller concerns. Notwithstanding this, the commercial agencies con tinue painting a rosy business condi tion. The tariff agitation in Con gress has had the effect to bolster up the prices on the necessaries of life, and perhaps, thecre is where Dun finds his improved business condi tion.. If prices go up and the people have no means to buy, where does the improvement come in? The State Supreme Court has re cently handed down an important decision. It says that it is unlawful for a man to keep liquor in his house without the Commissioners' stampI. Chief Justice Mclver and Associate Justice Gary concur in a dissenting opinion, but until the court reverses itself or the United States Supreme Court takes an opposite viewv, it will be against the law in this State to store liquor in your own house unless the stamp of the State is upon it. This decision will have the effect of putting a stop to large quantities of liquor being stowved away for "per sonal use.' The United States Supreme Court heM it unconstitutional to tax in comes, notwithstanding the fact that precedents of a hundred years showv to the contrary. But perhaps a hun dred years ago the people did not read the Bible closely,as is done now adays ; if they had .they would have found where it says: "For he that hath,.to him shall be given; and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath." There fore the rich must not be taxed. Mc Laurin's famous tariff speech has broughit favorable comment from e~veryody buhtt thle politicians. He is daily r'eceiv ing letter.; approving his course and the wise among the poli ticia:2s are beginning to hedge ever since Stanvarne Wilson made such a grand ilunk.

Fre trial bolth-s at I B. Lryca' + It is gratifying to note the spirit of fairness which is exhibited by the Columbia "State." When some of the newspapers were charging Gov ernor Ellerbe with impure motives in the Metropolitan police matter the "State" defended the Governor in a kind and able editorial. We have diftered to a great extent with the "State," but with all of our differences we can truly say that we could never charge it with unfairness. Gonzales is a fighter, but a manly one. He does not whine and beg for patronage like the "had-to-buy-it" "Register," but he strikes a conscientious blow and we cannot help but admire it in him. The "State" has had a hard struggle to exist, but it has passed that stage, and is now on the road to attend the funeral of its contempo rary. In discussing our representa tive's position on the tariff, the "Reg ister" undertook to hide McLaurin's position and to place him in a false light before the people; this too, from a Reform (?) newspaper that has been playing the charity racket on Mc Laurin; on the other hand the "State" gave fair and manly treat ment and in discussing his speech expressed itself freely and fully. We like fairness, and so do the people, and when we see it exhibited by one whom we regarded an adversary, we must tip our hat to him in acknowl edgment. Gonzales fights hard, but fair, and his present course is not due to any change of conviction, for we doubt exceedingly if he could change a conviction if he wanted to, so tirm is he in his convictions. When Ellerbe started out on a policy, that was intended to be fair and non-partisan, and without ques tioning whether Ellerbe had made mistakes or not, the "State" had the honesty to give him credit for his good intentiocs, and its defense of the Governor was in marked contrast with that of the "Register." THE Tl'ItKO-CItE 'AN WAl. It has been so long since this coun try has been troubled with such a thing as war that we take little inter est in disturbances in other countries. We doubt if very many of our read ers have taken any interest in the feud that is now broiling in Europe, and which seems likely to result in much bloodshed. The Cuban insur rection has become stale reading, and only those take interest in it who have kept constantly abreast with its progress. But the trouble now go ing on-between Turkey and Greece is of a diferent nature, and claims much more interest. In the Cuban affair it is a rebellion. In the other it is a quarrel between two separate countries, and the inter national relations that exist among the countries in Europe are of such a nature as to eventually involve, di rectly or indirectly, this whole family of nations. This quarrel between Turkey and Greece is commonly known as the Ci-ete affair. All of our younger readers who have lately studied geo gaphy will readily remember how southern Europe looks on a m'ap. Only a moment's reference to a map in a common geography wili familiar ize one with the location of the coun tries in question and enable our readers to follow this disturbance from now on with much more inter est. You will all remember that Turkey occupies a part of both Europe and Asia. It is a tremendous empire, having a population in both European and Asiatic Turkey of early forty million souls. The pow ers of the ruler, the Sultan, are abso ute. The present Sultan is named Abdul Hamed. The Turkish Con gress, which assembles at Constanti ople, is known as the Porte. Then you will also remember the situation of the little country of Greece. None who have studied history can fail to remember the part that Greece has played in former ages, but the Greece :>f to-day is by no means the Greece of eighteen hundred years ago. She was once the home of art, music, mythology and the traditional gods, but not now. The population of Greece now is only about two miil lions, and it is surprising to think that she should be so plucky as to bristle up against so large a country as Turkey. But the Greeks claim that with them it is a matter of prin iple. The cause of this quarrel is an island in the Mediterranean sea, knowni as the island of Ci-ete, or Can dia. This island is about 150 miles long, and has an average width of about 25 miles. It is said to be a beautiful island. It has for centuries been under the rule of Turkey, and has long chafed under the yoke. Crete has many times before attempt ed to gain her freedom, and has al ways failed, but as most of the Cre tans are Christians, and are therefore more closely allied to their near neighbors, the Greeks, thani to the Mohammedans of Turkey, they have succeeded in gaining the sympathiies of the Greeks. Greece has said that the island of Crete naturally falls under her protection, and that she shall be free, while Turkey says that the Cretans shall remain the victims of Turkish oppression and misrule. Six of the great nations of Europe -England, Germany, Russia, France, Spaii. and Italy, have joined in to try to pievent war, but it is evident dur ing the past few days that they now feel that they have interfered in a quarrel in which they had no busi ness, and will probably have little more to do with it. The Cretans would like to be free and have young Prince George, a son of the King of Greece, as their governor-, and the little kingdom of Greece is very per sistent in asserting herself and has troops in the field. On last Friday a battle occurred in Thessaly, just north of Greece, and is said to have resulted in twenty-three killed and twenty-seven wounded on the Greek side, and the losses much severer to the Turks, and it wvas also expected that war wvould be formally pro climed yesterday. The prospect now presented in Europe is a most interesting one, and will claim the attention of many readers who have not heretofore taken any interest in international affairs. Should this war assume any great proportions it will affect us somewhat in a commer ial way, and for this reason it may be of interest to keep up with the trouble as it progresses.

C., Apr. 5, 1897. Major Louis APPELT, Manning, S. C.: My Dear Sir-Please do the goodness to send me a copy of your last week's issue containing the Bradham letter in reply to General McLaurin's critics. There are a lot of hungry politic:ans in South Carolina who are anxious to retire John McLaurin, and avail themselves of every tlimsy opportunity to make scurrilous attacks upon him and his boll independ ence of thought and speech. McLaurin is a man of convictions, and witbal has the courage to express himself unreservedly on all great questions touching the economic onditionsof the country. South Carolina has already suffered sufli ciently by following after "Jack-with-a-lan tern," frazzled-out tradtitional dogmas, and we are glad McLaurin has blazed the way for a new departure from the rotten ruts o long and so persistently pursued by old 'mossba-:k" free traders. There are two national political hobby horses whicb poli ticians never fail to ride, and that too, at the expense of an innocent and unsus pecting people. The one is finance and the other is the tariff. The former involving the success and happiness of our country more than all other economic questions combined, whilst the latter is a snare in the coils of which the unsuspecting are entrapped, and upon which the politician feasts and tills his rapacious maw. The 53d Congress gave the people an ob ect lesson on tariff that will long be re membered, and require a vast deal of elo quent explanation to convince our people longer that there is any relief for them in the cry and lamentations for free trade. It is not the agricalturist that is so much con cerned about free trade as the hungry poli tician, who goes bellowing to and fro the earth, ranting and canting free trade here ies, hoping thereby to protect their own itching scalps from the incursions of other aspiring "-pie hunters." An increase of $262,000,000 interest bear ing public debt resulted from an effort to approximate freo trade, arid to-day we seu President McKinley seated on the throne so lately occupied by the apostle of shor ations and hard money, and the legislative epartment of the government wholly in ihe hands of the Rtepublican party. The commercial and industrial stagna tion staring the taxpayer in the face hroughout the nation speaks volumes. griculture is languishing, and will con tinue to languish, just so long as we sit on our hunkers like :birsty toads and eroak bout impossible things. In our humble opinion, there are but two hings essential to the success and pros perity of our South land, and that is, di versiied agriculture, and the free and un mited coinage or gold ana silver. I am with and for McLaurin. Excuse length of this letter. Yours very truly, Graded School. A petition looking to the establishment of a Graded School for Manning has been circulated among the freeholders as re quired by law. The old law provided that it was necessary that a majority of the fre3 holders sign the request, and signatures were being secured to that end; but accord ing to a recent change only six freehold ers are necessary. At least nine out of every ten approached signed it, thus putting the stamp of their pproval upon the scheme. I desire to place myself in the proper light before the people while the subject is under discus sion. I have no selfish motiv-e in~ what 1 have done towards inaugurating that sys tem upon this communnity. I am heartily in favor ot a Graded School because I be lieve it to be a step in the proper dlirection and that the people oft Manning anid vici nity need it and ought to have it. They have been tried in numerous pilaces and have proven abundant successes-so much so th::t ninety-seven Graded Scools have been established in South Carolina sInce 1878, and in only two instances have Lhey been discontinued, and those only ~vhere it was impractical to maintain them. The petition has been turned over to the township hoard of trustees, whor will ad vertise for a public meeting to be hel 1 in he near future. The act provides for the- c.diing of a pul. ic meeting of the taxpayers, whicb, at nterpret it, umeans male andt fetmale, anid a ballot shall he taken, and if a majority vote in favor ot the special levy, the trustees uhall order an election which must be ad vertised for not less than ten days. At this election only the voting taxpay ers who own real or personal property to the value of one hundiedI dollars are allowed to vote, and then only upon producing their tax receipt and registration certificate as in the other elections. The ditference betwveen the two acts is, ihat in the 01ld act a ma jority of the freeholders wvas necessary to call the meeting' and when it was edled it a majority voted in fav~or of the special evy it was then imposed. In the new act six reeholders~ can authorize a meeting to be called, anel when called if a majority of of the taxpayers vote in favor of it, an elec tion shall then be ordered for the purpose of making it legal and binding. With the above before you if you really want a Graded School, it will be your duty to be at the meeting yourself tin.1 see that everyone else who is entitled to a voice in the mueeting be there.
