The bankers of the world could ptop the war between Kassia and .Japan in lens than a month, if they would just quit loaning money to thc belligerents. K Chicago man bas applied to the courts for au injunction to make his wife stop talking. Some foolish folk have a lot to learn about the limita tions of human agencies. A law and older league has been or gai?zed at Aiken, S. C., having for its object thc suppression of lynching and mob outbreaks of any kind. The example might well be followed every where, since thc moral effect in cer tain to bc salutary. Congressman Lon Livingston of Georgia advises thc cotton grower.-! to enter into an agreement to cut down next year's crop by one-third. This he says will have the effect of raising thc price of thc present crop, because the manufacturers will bc compelled to take notice of next year's crop and buy accordingly this year. tm o m< Thc convention at Shreveport, La., to consider how to check the ravages of the boll weevil was well attended last week. A resolution was adopted asking thc nationnal government to make an appropriation to continue the investigation. The house committee has reported favorably a bill to appro priate $225,000. Last Friday night at Florence another bloody deed was added to the long catalogue of thc dispensary in.-ti tution. A dispensary constable, W. P. Howell, shot to death a railroad special officer with whom he had a private altercation over some matter of a blind tiger. The constables Hcem to have their pistols always in hand, and woe to the man who dis putes with them of the most triva 1 matter. Throughout the cotton States the farmers arc holding mass meetings in an effort to further tho movement re cently inaugurated to hold cotton for a higher price. Thc resolution" pass ed at all meetings were practically the same, aud all points heard from indi cate that thc farmers are acting as a unit. Thc resolutions declare that they will hold cotton for 10 cents as thc minimum price and pledge the growers to reduce the acreage 25 per cent, next year. - m > mt - The Southern Presbyterian, pub lished at Clinton by J. V. and W. S. Jacobs, haB been sold to Kev. T. E. Converse, 1). P., formerly editor of the Christian Observer, and will be moved to Atlanta .January 1st. Thc paper was greatly improved under thc management of the Messrs. Jacobs, and has taken a deservedly place among tho best of the Southern Pres byterian papers. It has been a great religious and moral force in this State and we regret its removal from South Carolina. - mm * - There is a possibility of Winthrop College obtaining $10,000 unro from Andrew Carnegie, lt will bo remem bered that some time ago l'rcsident Johnson received from that source a check for $20,000 for a library. Tho plans were alb completed and Mr. Car negie was so pleased with the result that he offered the college $10,000 more provided that institution raised $1,000 which is the usual amount re quired. Plans aro now on foot for raising the necessary amount. Representativo Morrill of Pennsyl vania has introduced a bill to reduce representation in States where citi iens are disfranchised. Tho bill is more general than . that intro duced by Senator Platt, and its pro visions apply, to any State limiting suffrage. Tho bill, if enacted into law, would rcduco the representation in Congress of any State, which, after March 4, U?07, denies the right of suffrage to any of its male inhabitants or in any way abridges such right *4cxcept for participation in rebellion or oilier crimes." The reduction is to bo proportionate to thc denial of the right of suffrage, Ginners from all tho cotton grow ing States west of tho Mississippi met at Dallas, Texas, last Monday and or ganized the National Cotton Ginners* Association of the United States with J. A. Kyler, of Wynnewood, I. T., president, and J. H. Connel!, of Dal las, vice president and treasurer. The purpose of the organization is to gather accurate and reliable informa tion concerning the amount of cotton produced and the oondition of the crop, and to furnish it tojmembers of the association ih advance of the gov ernment report. It is expected that pinners from all sections of the cotton States will become members of the (Organization. ?Tho colton mill development pf tl c Piedmont .section of South Carolina has heov "o rapid t hat few j?erriori8 real ize to wnat extent it has grown. An derson and Spartan hu rg Counties now have about neven millions of dollars each in cotton mills, followed by Greenville with over ?TC millions, Richland with about three million?; i ' ii ion and York CIOBC behind Rich land, while Newberry baa about one And a quarter million and Laurena overa million. Other counties have a nu?nber of mill?, but these aro tho leading counties. These figures rep resent H tock issues only. AH a matter of fact tho actual investment is much larger, as some stocks represent more than twice as much real property and sell at nearly twice thc face value of the stock. This condition of affair* indicates not only a prosperous lino of business, but honest, safe and reliable management. There has been no watering of stocks in the Southern cotton mill business. In fact there are few lines of industrial securities wi)ich represent as good values as the cotton mil] stocks of South Caro lina. Latest War News. St. Petersburg. Dec. |S.-(ienerul Stoessel's latent dispatches from I'ort Ailinn wen! published today, hut ?wt given ont do not cany thc ''lory ot' tho garrison's stubborn riefen?? beyond December lo, thus leaving a gap of at least live day? between the oriicinl wont ot tin? military commander and t he unnllicial story of Commander Mi/. zciieolV, which was given oui at Chctou. lt is not pretended that tho dispatches are published in full. The story of the operations, as fat as it has been given ont, is intensely in teresting and shows that [boro has been an almost uninterrupted assault ot' the mont desperate chat acter fi om No vember 20 lo December 1", when the Japanese, after losing over 'J-',ooo mun, captured jo::Meter hill, and were able from thal position to shell tho squadron in the Dort Arthur roadstead. There tho ollieinl account ends, but it is ex plained that I he Japanese, rio not oc cupy tho top of the hill, which is still exposed to a deadly tire from tho KUB sian artillery. The Japanese are using a plunging lire from very heavy guns from behind the crest of the hill; but that this lire is elhc.iently directed is shown by the damage. Buffered by the Kassian squadron. Tokio, Dec. li?.- Tho Japanese ii red au immense mine under portions of the north fort nf Mast kel;wan moun tain at "J o'clock yesterday 'Sunday) afternoon. The infantry immediately afterward charged and occupied the lort with a heavy foi ce. lt is reported that the Japanese have seized a strong position ll bout a thous and yanls southeast of \M>:;-.\letei bill, preparatory to assaulting the new town and pushing1 between Liuoli mountain and the Russian headquar ters at. Dort Arthur. She Koo, Dee. Ul.-A Japanese camp follower who saw il portion of tho light ing at 'Ju.'! Meter bill and who arrived here from Dalny, today, says that Com mander MizzenofTs description of tho lighting is not exaggerated. ile believes, however, that tho Rus sian losses were heavier than stated by Commander Miz/.enofT, us tho Kas sians repeatedly brought up reinforce ments until it seemed that tho en tire gan ison must have been in that section. . The Russian dead, he said, were in discriminately mingled with the heaps of Japanese dead. Tho slope of 20H Meter I lill being very steep and smooth, tho Japanese prepared for their ad vance by shelling the hill sirio. The shells in exploding hollowed out foot holds lu some instances tho Japanese found protection behind the heaps of their own dead. Tokio, Dee. 10.-Official reports from Dort Arthur this morning state that Russians have abaurioiiod the battle ship forestier., Poltava, Robleda and Dayan, which hnvo been completely disabled by shells hurled from 205J - Meter bill by (?enera! Nogi's guns. London, Dec. ll).-Russia's war for tunes go from bari to worse. General Kuropatkin telegraphed this week that if the number of trains on tho Trans Siberian railway was not considerably inciensed ho would bo unable to iced the troops already nt tho front. Tho local products which helped the com missaries during tho summer and autumn uro no longer avai'ablo, while tho army is larger. The truth is that tho capacity of the railroad has reach ed its utmost limits. It will, of course, bo impossible to arid reinforcements under such circumstances. Therefore, at best, the Russian military position in Manchuria cannot improve. It has persistently been said in the highest financial circles in London, which are the best means of gaining political information, tlint tIto present ' war will como to an end io February , i There wa? nothing visible on which to | base this optimistic view until today's report that King Edward, tho t zar, ' Emperor Francis Joseph and t tie kaiser would meet nt Copenhagen that mouth. There may be nothing in it, but the Russian situation is so hopeless in tho immediate future, both in its military and internal features that one won ders whether a good opportunity to make peace such a? might be avowed at a conference of that kind would be seized with gratitude by tho Kas sian emperor. - - - . m Christmas Holiday Excursions via Char leston & Western Carolina Railway.
