As we go to press the long-lonkAdfor rain has commenced to fall in a way that promises a good season before it is done. The North Carolina Hospital for the Insane is already so crowded that a Cabarrus county man was re fused admittance the other day. The poor lunatic, for he really was such, has now to choose between the jail and the county home. All of which shows the disadvantage of living in North Carolina, as Editor Booker is wont to say. The Southern Aluminum Company up on the Yadkin river, at Whitney, North Carolina, is busily engaged In extracting aluminum from the aluminum oxide denosit at that 4 iCauraatrr Nnua (SEMI-WEEKLY.) R. K. WYLIE. . .Acting Editor PUBLISHERS' ANNOUNCEMENT: Published Tuesdays and Fridays at Lancaster, S. C., by The Lancaster Publishing Company, successors to The Ledger, established 1852; The Review, established 1878; The Enterprise, established 1891, and entered as second-class matter Oct. 7, 1905, at the postofflce at Lancaster, S. C., under Act of Congress of point. The company has invested ton million dollars in the enterprise. They expect to make 25,000 tons annually of this valuable metal for which there is such great demand. It is interesting to know that our sister state possesses an industry of this kind, one which promises such large profits. We note from The Camden Messenger that that city has a Business Men's Association, and that it has published a "Credit guide," which will enable the merchants and business men to know who will pay his debts and who will not. The professional dead beats under the plan have to pay up or else go without credit. Why should not the Lancaster business men, for self protection, get together and form themselves into such an association? Governor Blease after all his sensational letters to the war depart- | ment and expressions of delight at the prospect of the appropriation nn/lov tltn 111. > L- law fr /, 1, a otata mill uiiuvt vnc 1/iv.n ia n v\? iiic maic 1X1IIItia being withdrawn, doubtless finding that his game of bluff wouldn't work, has telegraphed to the depart- 1 ment giving assurance that full compliance with federal regulations will be forthcoming and that South Carolina is ready to do her duty in the matter. So the governor clearly lost out, after all his bluster. From the way some automboiiists operate their machines upon the | public highways, one would think who did not know, that they had an exclusive right thereon and that pedestrians and drivers of vehicles should "skeedaddle" out of the way as soon as they hear the toot of their horn or get a glimpse of the machine. But such is not the case. There are very strict requirements of the law as to the rate a machine shall be run and what must be done when other travellers are met on the road. We have been recently told of some reckless speeding in the country and ruthless disregard of the rights of others, by autoinobtllsts. /tuna i l Kh .>I.AI)l'i ISTKHKSTINC. Prof. R. J. Wells of Clemson College, one of the teachers In the summer school, gave the following questions to the Lancaster county teachers in the final examination in agriculture held today: 1.?Give all the reasons you can for studying agriculture. 2.?Name all the parts of a flower. 3. Name the two essential parts of a flower and tell their use. 4.?What is pollen? Its use? 5.?Explain how different varieties of corn mix. v 6.? Why should a farmer test his seed before planting? 7.?Give three conditions for ger minauon. 8.?Name the different ways in which plants are propagated. ? 9.?What can a farmer do to make plant food in the soil available? 10.?How can leaking of the soil be prevented? We would suggest that the teachers of the county schools keep the matter of agriculture constantly before the minds of their pupils, by frequent lectures and examinations similar to the one held by Professor Wolls. In this way the pupils in the rural districts will become more interested in the calling which the majority of them will likely follow in after life. CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE. Laucasteriaus are finding the Southern Railway's new train service to and from Charlotte at midday a great convenience. It enables us to leave home at a convenient hour and also to leave Charlotte "more conveniently than heretofore. ' There has been considerable demaud for this improved service for some 1 time but it was given us more promptly man we wouiu oinerwise , have secured it, through the efforts i of our enterprising townsman, Col. Leroy Springs, who always gets what he goes after. Colonel Springs ! made a special trip *o Washington 1 and after interviewing the Southern 1 Railway authorities there and itu- j pressing them with the urgent need j for the extention, his request was i granted within ten days. : ] UREASE AND THE WAR DEPARTMENT. The war department at Washing- j ton has laid down what may be re- . garded as an ultimatum to Governor ] Blease and the militia authorities of the state. Secretary of War Garri- ' son, in a communication addressed , to the governor, tells him plainly and ' pointedly that unless he complies ' with the federal statute, the appro- J priation of $70,000, from the gen- ( eral government, will be withdrawn. | Governor Blease has acted very in- 1 temperately in the matter. There are thirty military companies in the state militia, twelve of which failed to come up to the requirements of the law after regular inspection. When the governor's attention was called to the matter he virtually delied the war department, w .ing it to the effect that he would je glad get rid of federal aid, with the result that eighteen companies of the state militia which have come up to all the requirements are to be deprived of any part of the appropriation because of the inefficiency of the other compaies and because of the governor's desire to make political capital out of the matter. Having made unsuccessful efforts to override the legislative and judicial department of the state government, he has turned his attention to Uncle Sam, with whom we predict he will find that he will be equally as unsuccessful. Hut in the meantime. South Carolina is suffering from the vagaries of a governor who has already begun his campaign for the United States senate. i HAS THE COURAGE OF ITS CONVICTION8. The Times and Democrat of Orangeburg rings out true and clear on the matter of the re-establishment of dispensaries in that county, when it says: "The Times and Democrat never' siracnnes the rence on any Important j public question. On all such ques- t tions it has the courage of its con- ] victions, and does not hesitate to t let the public know where it stands. f It opposes the re-establishment of ; the dispensary in Orangeburg county and favors the commission form of government under a special act for this city." ^ We are glad to know that the great majority of the newspapers in South Carolina are of like mind { with the Orangeburg paper. A l newspaper should never straddle on 8 vital matters affecting the public in- * terests. As we have often said, a F public journal should not adopt the i non-committal, follow-tho-crowd, pol- l icy, but should have clear-cut notions ' on all questions affecting the people and should blaze the way. It should strive to know the right and lead on, ahead of the public. From a dollar and cents standpoint it might he well at times to "straddle the fence," but in the long run such policy will not pay. The newspaper that stands for something and is ready at all times to advocate the right, regardless of whether It is popular to do so or not, will win out in the end. MAY BLOCK IRISH HOMK RCLK. I,?>r(l Lansdowne Will Ask That Bill (lo to Court First. ( London, July 10.?A new Unionist I attempt to place a further obstacle 1 in the way of the enactment of the home rule bill for Ireland was an- 1 nounced in the House of Lords yesterday afternoon by the Marquis of Lansdowne, Unionist leader. When ' the bill Is submitted to the Lords for ] second reading on Monday Lord < Lansdowne will move "that the t house decline to proceed with the , consideration of the bill until it has been submitted to the judgment of the court." | The Unionists believe they have 1 discovered a flaw in the Parliament act, which provides for the passage of bills over the heads of the peers ' within a specified period. Their 1 I contention is that if the House of 1 Lords postponed dealing with the Irish home rule bill hv an adloum- r , ment to a date beyond the iife of the i j present Parliament tne Liberal government will be powerless to force i through itR legislation . because the 11 I Parliament act overlooks the possl , blllty of the upper house giving it-1 self a prolonged vacation and going on a virtual strike agtrtnst legislation. It seems probable that the ' Marquis of Lansdowne's motion is a , preliminary to taking of some such , step. THE LANCASTER NE E. C. ALLISON DEAD. Well-Known an<l Highly Kes|>ected Citizen Passes Suddenly. It is seldom that the town of Lancaster has been shocked as it was i yesterday morning when the sad in- ' telllgence was passed from mouth to mouth that Ed Allison was dead. It was known to but few that ho was ! even indisposed. He was at his place or Dusmess Monday as usual, but went home on account of a boll on his head which was causing him severe pain. But while he remained at home, his condition gave no cause for alarm until Wednesday, when symptoms of erysipelas developed and a trained nurse v.:>s immediately sent for. Wednesday night he became very much worse and finally succumbed to the disease at 1:30 o'clock Thursday morning. Edward Chambers Allison was the son of the late R. E. Allison, Esq., and his wife, Mary Chambers Allison, and was born in the town of Lancaster on the 13th day of August, 1859. Ifh attended school at the Franklin Academy, being under tljat scholarly gentleman and fine disciplinarian, Thomas Stamps. He afterwards took a business course at Eastman College, at Poughkeepsie, N. Y., graduating with distinction. 3oon afterward he entered into partnership with Mr. E. E. Cloud, under the firm name of Cloud & Allison, rhis business was conducted with success for a number of years, until Mr. Cloud removed to Rock Hill when the partnership was dissolved. He then connected himself with the 1rm of McCardell & Allison. Afterwards Mr. Allison and his brother, Mr. J. P. Allison, became sole owners of the business, the firm being continued under the name of Allison llros. No man in the county stood Higher in the esteem and confidence sf our people than he. The writer has known him from his youth and [ an testify personally to his genuine worth and high character. There was nothing mean or little in Ed \llison. One always knew where to Ind him on all public questions. He was modest and retiring in disposition. One of his fine traits was his levotion to his aged father and mother. As son and brother he was kind and tender. He was a levelleaded business man and jvas suc'essful In his undertakings, being lystematlc and methodical in all that le did. But to crown all he was an humble, earnest follower of his Master. And it is in his church that le will he most sorely missed. He connected himself with the Methoiist church of this place in his early roung manhood and was ever afterwards one of its most earnest and ictive members. At the time of his leath he was a steward and secre:ary and treasurer of the hoard of puctooQ TKp funeral services were a u ui en was au ner me a consistent md zealous member of the Methollst church. The funeral will be jreached by her pastor, the Rev, N. Hardin of St. John's. More Billion Dollar Grass. We have a sample of some more 'Billion Dollar" grass raised by Mr. W. V.
