The matter of th? rise in cotton has assumed dazzling proportions. Ten eeut eotton has now become a probu hility, nuil there is a possibility thal as much as eleven cents may have to bc paul when stocks get low in ll?? late slimmer. Itali depends upon the for cign demand, and just now that seems insatiable. The semi-oflieial as>oeiati <l press re ports from Washington giving the ad minist rat ion's shh- ol various incuses it is encountering are ably edited, hut not so much so thal tin- tine Italian hand eat.t he recognized throughout. The presidential family has a very ac complished Knack nf interviewing it sell', and handing oui the interview - : ?> accommodai jug pen ny-a liners. ( fin o, i he niosl interest iou fads brough I out in I he annual report ol l he Coiled Slates Commissioner ol' educa tion i- that thc w?lk ol' lin common schools is coming mole and more into i lie hands ol' wiitin o. In ISO only I'm ly-iiiie per cent, of the school teachers in the I ' ii i t ?il Slati s were women; now : he women teachers number sixty-eight per cent, ol' the entire mini ber. lu Hie North Atlantic States the proportion ol' women teachers is even huger, reach ing more l han eighty percent, of the whole number of teachers in those States. What a pitiful story is that which comes, ' ron? Massachusetts telling of f h.- suffering from hunger and other necessities of life of th?' negro family ol' Hakers. whose husband and lather, us postmaster, was shot and hilled at Lahe City, this State, two years ago! lt will be remembered that a white wo man came South last year willi a great detil of display and induced the unfor tunate family to emigrate to the coun try of her friends- the Yankees. A great deal ol' slobbering was done over the family at the time, hut public in terest subsided in a few days, contri butions ceased to come in, and now iso lated from their real friends, they are actually petitioners upon the bounty of the government. When will the negro learn the lesson ol' confidence? lt is daily demonstrated to him that it is the Southerner who is his friend, yet again and again do we see him withdrawing from him and endeavoring to empha size the social and racial breach hy broadening the political and commer cial breach. What is known as the .'Hood Hoad Institute*1 has been organized in North Carolina, and thu example might he a profitable ?me to this State. Its pur poses are to .stimulate a stronger senti ment in favor of/good roads anti to se cure a first-classsystem for better road work. They hope by co-operation to influence national aid in road building, and in view ol' the interest now being manifested by flic government in bet ter roads, it would be well to organize ut once and invite governmental ex periments similar to the rural delivery experiments inaugurated several months ago. lt may be that national aid can only be given as an experiment nt this stnge, then hy a little activity by farmers of this County in organiz ing nnd by the effort H of our Senators and Representatives, we should stand as good chance lo be selected asa base for governmental experiment along this line ns any other section of the country. If, however, we wish to contend for aid by direct legislation, organization is the most powerful in fluence we can bring to bear on the question. Tho question of good roads is no longer local, it is essentially na tional; and it would not be surprising to us to see twenty years hence a com plete revolution in road legislation. Secretary Hay, w ho, in his mad rush to throw iuto thc lap of England every advantage and every concession with in his oflicinl grasp as demonstrated by the lavish and unsparing generosi ty displayed in the Hay-Cuunceforle treaty in reference to the building of tho Nicaraguan canal, attempts to rc aninate the old Cluyton-Bulwer com pact which, already dead, was killed deader years ago when the late .lames G. Blaine was Secretary of State. This the administration is obliged to know, yet it has the effrontery to threaten the opposition to tho treaty by the very absurd proposition that a re jection of the Hay-Paunceforto treaty throws the country back under the provisions of the old defunct treaty. Great Britain docs not expect us to re vive the old treaty, nor does she expect us to bear the expense of constructing the Nicaraguan Canal, to police it, and to maintain it and then foolishly re linquish our sacred right to protcct.it. Since we refused to assist in the neu tralization ol' thc Sue/. Canal upon the high ground that our traditional policy prevented our interference in oriental affairs, we should demand under tho Monroe doctrine tue soie right to neu tralize our own property ns we seo lit. Besides were we to concede the neu trality of tbe canal, wo renounce the Monroe doctrine, and admit those foreign powers to equal rights along our const linc, the canal being our own property. Wo are heartily glad that the Senate has so am en dod t he trea ty that the United States may fortify the canal, and if tho treaty is then rati fied', England wilCgladly accept it, for ^she could not expect more. - The Southern Railway is about to expend a million dollars for new rolling stock.

When thc ease wa-called fur hearing In ion Magis Irate Russell, the attorney.- fur the * I . rendants, Messrs. lionham ?\ Walkin,*, muveil tu dismiss the warrant on the grnunil thal the Ael (which i- Known ?IS thc Drainage Law.) was in eonllicl with thal provision of thc Constitution of 1s'.i.*?. which prohibits special legisla tion. The Magistrate sustained this view and dismissed t he warrant, where upon Messrs. Trihblc ?V Prince, and Rrea/eale, representing the proseen tion, appealed tu thc Circuit Court, which reversed the Magistrate's decis ion. I'pon this thc defendants appeal ed to thc Supreme. Court, which Court sustained the Circuit Judge and sent the case back tn the Magistrate for trial. The call of thc. case by the Magistrate thc second time, thc coun sel tor defendants again moved to dis miss the warrant, on the ground that, the Act was in conflict with those pro visions ol' the Constitution in 1MW, which required that taxation should he uniform and equal. The Magistrate refused the motion ?md tlie d?tendants appealed (o the Circuit Court, which sustained the Magistrate, and thc.de fendants appealed In the Supreme Court. That Court hus just Hied its decision reversing the Circuit Judge and the Magistrate, and holding that the Act in question is unconstitutional. We print below t heir decision, lt ap pears that we have 110 drainage law, bul the people will this slimmer vote on an amendment to the Constitution, which, if adopted, will permit the enactment of u law which can be c n forced. Following is the decision: The Stale, respondent, vs. W. II. Tucker ?md .1.11. Tucker, appellants. Const it ut ional law. Police power. Taxing power. The appellant - were charged before a Magistrate with violating Sections 1','7-? and l'27-l of thc revised Statutes, which require all laud owners in certain counties named to remove (rash, etc., from running streams on their lands, and which allixes penalties to non-per formance ni*such requirement. The ap pellants moved the magistrate to dis miss the case, on the ground that said Sect ions are in contlict with certain pro visions ol' the constitution of 18tW and 1895. This motion being refused, the defendants appealed to thc circuit court. The circuit judge held that the legis lation in question cannot be supported as a legitimate exercise of the police power; and there being no exception to such holding and no notice that re spondent would ask thc Supreme Court to sustain tim decree upon the ground that the legislation in question isa legitimate exercise of the police power, that question cannot be considered. The Circuit Judge erred in holding that the legislation contained in Sec tions 107'l and 1071 of the revised Stat utes was nu exercise of the taxing power. Kven if the said Sections can be re garded as an attempt to exercise the power of taxation, then they contlict with that portion of Section 1 of article ix. of the Constitution of 1H(W which was of force at tho time these Sections were adopted, by which the require ment is that "tho General Assembly shall provide by law fora uniform und equal rate of assessment and taxation," etc., as well as with that portion of Section 1 of article x. of tho present Constitution, which contains a similar requirement; for tho tax (if it be a tax) is not uniform and equal, but applies only to certain Jandowners in certain specified Counties of tho State. If the burden imposed upon land owners could bc regarded a tax it could not bo considered an "equal" tax. If this so-called tax is to be regarded ns a tax on property, then the legis lation in question is in contlict with section JIG of article i., Section ?Ut of article ii., Section t of article ix, of the Constitution of 18(58, as well as with Section il of article i-. Section 09 of article xi. and Section 13 of article x. of the Constitution of lH?i?, which pro vided that all property subject to tax ation shall be taxed according to its actual value as ascertained by an as sessment made for the purpose-and no provision has been made for such assessment. If the so-called tax can be regarded as a tax upon persons, it is unconstitu tional, because not uni foi ni mid equal. On the former appeal iu this case (64 S. C., the singlo point decided in relation to thc Constitutionality of tho legislation here in question was that as the provisions of the present Consti tution aro not retroactive, Sections 127U and 1274 could not be held to bo vio lative of Section .'14 of article iii. of that instrument, forbidding tho enactment of local or special laws in certain cases. Thc Constitutional objections now presented were neither presented nor considered on tho former appeal in this case. Judgment below reversed, and case remanded. Opinion by Mr. Chief Jus tice Mciver.
