Thc federal authorities have sup pressed four newspapers in Luzon. It seems to be against thc law to tell tlx* truth in our new possessions. mm . mm Thc advocates of imperialism arc repeatedly quoting Jcfferssu as au thority for their pernicious doctrines. They certainly must mean Jo .Jeffer son. Il ,. . .. .1 Ml.1 J'J?U in a i us oi inc punsiuic ni-ucn erop are being made. It is most too early for that, but it may bc well to note that experts who have examined the trees in all producing sections say thc buds indicate as good a crop as last year. -mmW ? ? Mrs. Carrie Nation may bc a crank, but Kansas seems thoroughly aroused on thc temperance question by her work. It is said there arc more dry towns now in that State because of the interest thus aroused, than there has been for years. Senator McLaurin denies the state ment that he has withdrawn from tho Democratic party. Ile says that, if his health permits he will bc in thc next Democratic campaign in this State and will meet thc issues before the people and give an account of his stewardship. West Point will graduate about seventy-five cadets this year. We suggest that they be sent to the Phil ippines and let them haze Aguinaldo and his staff. If this doesn't break up tho revolution, wc shall insist upon the withdrawal of our troops and thc leaving of the islands to their fate. - - ? ? mm- . The Supreme Court has rendered a decision in tho case of Houser vs. Orangeburg County which will be of general interest, especially to the County Superintendents of Kducation. Thc Court decides that County Su perintendents aro entitled to theirSlOO pay for travelling expenses except where specifically repealed. A sim ilar opinion was rendered some time ago by thc Attorney General. -mm 9> ^g--. Ex-president Benjamin Harrison died at his home at Indianapolis, Ind., en Wednesday afternoon, 13th inst., and by his death the Republican party loses one of its purest and best men. Sineo his retirement from tho presi dential office, he has been prominent as a very high authority on matters of international law. Ho has also been out of sympathy with the impe rialistic polioy of his party. Mr. W. H. Wallace, who recently resigned the editorship of the Green ville News, has returned to Newberry and is again editing tho Newberry Ob server. His brethercn of the State press arc delighted to number him again in our ranks. Mr. W. P. Hou seal, who has been editing the Observer in thc absence cf Mr. Wallace, will give his whple timo to the Lutheran Visitor, which is published in New berry. Thc Sugar trust has scored again; its last previous victory having been when it persuaded McKinley to shift on thc Porto Kier." tariff question. This time thc result will be more seri ous. Under thc Dingley law, when uny foreign country grants a bounty to sugar grown within its borders, the United States lays a countervailing duty equal to the bounty on that sugar if imported into thc United States. Such duties have been imposed on German, French and Holland sugars. Russia, which has lccently begun to export sugar gave no bounty and has been exempted from such taxation, a fact that caused much uiscontent in the European countries just named. This, however, would have been of little importance, had not tho Sugar oust also found that its interest would bc injured if llussia was allowed to develop bnr trade in that material. Some Russian sugar comes over rsv , but most of it comes in such a condi tion that no further refining is neces sary, thus entering directly into com petition with thc trust. Hence tho latter set to work to dorise some ex cuse for barring it out, and with thc present subservient administration to baok it, easily found one. Russia oharges an intornal revenue tax on sugar grown there and remits this when tho sugar is exported. The trust argued . that thio remission amounted to a bounty, and succeeded in persuading Beorotary Gage to im pose a tax equal to Russian internal revenue levy. The Secretary evident ly failed to oonsidor that, if this be a bounty, tho United States also pays bounties on nearly every article taxed by its internal revenue laws, as it re mits these duties whou the goods so taxed aro exported. Yet the United States has never beon aoousod of pay ing a bounty on whiskey making, for instance A commercial war with Russia is likely to follow this unjust discrimination. Lowndesvi??e Locals. Mr. Ol?as. M. Horton arrived Monday night from Savannah. Ou., whom ho occupies a position of trust and re sponsibility in thc nflicesof the .Central of (?a.
