Intelligencer. Published every W ednesday. J. F. Clinkscai.ks. ( Editors and C. C. Lanqston, S Proprietors. '1 AHAUS ; ONE YEAR, - - - - $1 50 SIX MONTHS. - - - 75 WEDNESDAY, JUNK T, 1905. Tbc politicians "are unalterably op posed to trusts" in the utterance, but they are not so bad when they can get close to them. The trust buster possesses no terrors l'or the trust, whatever that is. The demand for cotton by Euro pean and borne spinners is very largo, and thc-pricc ehow> a slight advance. The policy of holding hack cotton has proven of benefit in ttopping the de cline, and if the indications of a re duced acreage arc evident the price of cotton should continue to ad Vance. ^_ It did not require President Roose velt's reiteration that he will not again be a candidate for pre.-ddent of tiic United States to convince tho mojoritytof his American fellow citi zens that he means to "do things" during his administration. But may be President Roosevelt is not averse to the office seeking the man. President Roosevelt has. let it be known that he will insist on CongresB taking up the question of railroad rates at a special session, to be called next fall, and it is believed that a mcaBurc will bo passed that, while conservative, will provide a remedy that will bring a reform in rates as we'll as in the system of rebates. The North Carolina Supreme Court has affirmed the decision of the lower court sustaining the Act passed by the last Legislature prohibiting "bucket?hops , and the practice of dealing in futures. The law makes it a misdemeanor to open a place where quotations are furnished or to buy or to sell options for future delivery when tho actual delivery of the goods is not contemplated. The effect of the decision is to close up all branches of cotton exchange houses in that State doing a future business. The estimates uf the Agricultural Department and that of tho Cotton Association both agree that the acre age in cotton has been reduced, but they differ considerably as to the per centage. Tho association's estimate is seven per cent, higher than that of the government, and the officers of the association question the accuracy of the latter's report. Tho main point, however, is thai, the acreage has been reduced, though not as much, probably, aB the Cotton Growers' Association desired. The farmers bave more generally stuck to their pledges than it was thought they had, no matter which of the two estimates is nearer the truth. It is a regular army officer, iu speaking of the heavy percentage of desertions from the army and navy of the United States, who attributes such desertions to "an abnormal claim, view and development of per sonal independece" ou the part of the American enlisted men afloat and ashore. In other words, the Ameri can youth ie too free and independent an individual to make a good soldier n or sailor in the regular establishment . when no war is in progress. As a I volunteer, as instanced by the Civil and Spanish-American wars, enlisting j for a fight and retiring to peaceful j pursuits when the fighting is over, he ! is unequaled. It is probably true that as a mere cog in a military ma chine he never will compare with tho military units of tbe compulsory ser vice system of Europe. The last gift by Mr. Carnegie of a trust fand of $10,000,000 to provide annuities for old and disabled college professors, is one of tbe most remark able, as it is also one of the most muni ficent of the contributions ever made by private wealth for a public purpose. We say public, because Mr. Carnegie explains that the purpose of the fund is not merely to benefit the direct recip ients of the bounty, but to further the general advancement of education. He wishes "to remove a source of deep and constant anxiety to the poor est paid and yet one of the highest of all professions," so poorly paid that "able men hesitate to adopt teaching as a career," but he also establishes the fund in order to enable colleges to retire old professors in favor of more useful younger men without Jcausing material suffering to the displaced. It is a novel purpose, but as consid erate and as treasonable as it is prac tical. His pension fund, however, will contribute directly to increase the efficiency of the service of the college professor. It will enable him to pursue Mb teaching or his investi gatton without tho distraction or fear regarding his maintenance in old age. His mind will be freo from'sordid carea in its search for the truth. His pension fund in essence.is *a generous endowment for the provision and sup port of the higher education. 4-The" cloti may make the clergy, ^"|?ut the man makes the minister. Latest War News. Tokio, June ''>.?Torpedo boat de stroyers, winch have returned to Snse bo, furnish details of the capture of Vice Admiral Rojestvensky. The de stroyers Kasurai) Usugumo, Sazanauii and Kagerou were ordered to attack the Russian war ships on the night of May '?, and wero steaming ahead when they suddenly encountered a number ol Russian ships. The Kasu iiii narrowly avoided a collision with a Russian cruiser, the closeness of which st eins to hnvo saved the destroyers from being damaged by the heavy lire which the Russians directed on them. During the Russian attack the vessels forming the destroyer flotilla divided. The Sazanauii and Kagerou continued thosearch lot Russian ships through out the night, and in the morning dis covered two torpedo ho.'it destroyers. Uno of them steamed away, but the other was unable to do so. On ap proaching the latter the Japanese dis cerned a white Hag Hying from the foremost and the Red Crossilag astern. She proved to be the Redovi, with Ad mirai Koiestvensky and his staff on hoard. 'I ho Hedovi signalled that her engines wore damaged, and that she was short of coal and water. An armed guard was sent on board the Hedovi to receive her surrender. The Russians requested the Japanese not to remove Admiral Rojestvensky and the other oflicurs on account of their wounds, and the Japanese complied, with the understanding that the guard would execute Rojestvensky in the ercnt of the delay leading to a meet ing with Russian ships, thus removing the danger of his recapture. The Saz anami ran a line to the Hedovi and bo Kan towing her. lier lino parted twice. In the morning the Sazanauii met the Japanese cruiser Akaahi, which conveyed the two destroyers to Sasobo. During the trip the destroyers encoun tered heavy seas and their decks wero awash during part of the time. Nagasaki, June 3.?Survivors' state ments show that the Japanese manoeu vres drove a portion of the Russian fleet under the lire of tho forts on Tsu Island, which sunk the battle, ship Or labya. On Saturday night, owing to the frequent torpedo attacks and the faet that the RusRiai. vessels did not carry light, the fleet was much sepa rated and became incapable of acting in combination. The only orders wer? to reach Vladivostok. The Russians were short of ammunition and their marksmanship was indifferent. Tokio, June :s?10.4."? a. m.?Rear Ad miral Rojestvensky is resting well, with no dangerous symptoms, and his speedy recovery seems certain. The oflicurs ot tho Russian battle ship Orel have declined to accept pa role. They have been given an addi tional day to further consider the ques tion. Manila, June it.?Rear Admiral Kn quist, who was commander of tho heavy cruiser squadron of tho Russian fleet, arrived in tho hay at !> o'clock this evening on board Ins flag ship, tho protected cruiser Aurora, accompanied by the protected cruisers Oleg and Jemtchilg. All tho vessels were more or less damaged, and there wero many wounded men on bonrd. Rear Admiral Train on board his Hag ship, the battle ship Ohio, with tho Wisconsin, Oregon, Raleigh and Cin cinnati, was outsideCorregidor Island manoeuvring when tho Aurora sainted with thirteen guns, and the Ohio an swered . Admiral Train and his squadron ac companied tho Russian vessels to Ma nila. Washington, June 5.?Admiral Rn quistwill uot be allowed to repair his ships at Manila. This government has decided that as the injuries to nie ves sels were not caused by either sea or storm, it will be obliged to refuse per misBiun for tho vessels to be repaired there. Today Secretary Taft cabled ttie following instructions to Governor Wright regarding the ships: "Time cannot be given for repair of injuries received in battle. There fore the vessels cannot be repaired, unless interned until the end ot hos tilities." Admiral Train has been instructed accordingly. It was stated by Secre tary Taft that if the Russian vessels agreed to leave Manila in their pres ent condition they would be welcome to du so. but as it did not appear that they su tiered from any damage caused by sea or storm this government was obliged to take the position above out lined.

To the Confederate Veterans of South Carolina: The following letter was re ceived by Gen. Thomas W. Carwile, whose headquarters during the reunion in Louisville will bo at Willard's hotel. The headquarters of the South Caro lina veterans will beat the court house, opposite the hotel. J. M. Jordan, Adjt. Gen. ami Chief of Stall". "Louisville, Ky., May 27, 100."). "Dear General : Wo have arranged conveyances lor such of the Confed erates as may not feel able to walk dur ing the parade of the Confederate vet erans at the reunion on tho H'th of June. I will be glad if you will an nounce this by appropriate order, and give me such information as to the number as you can, Wo will provide nice conveyances for them und the per sons of each State will ride with the division of that State. I have had some suggestions that some would like this thing to be done. I therefore write to nsk that you make it public. lam authorized by the reunion committee to say that ample provision will be made for all Confederates who prefer to ride in conveyances rather than walk in the line of inarch. "Yours truly, "Bennett II. Voting, "Kentucky Division." iiducation by Sexes. ! Three years ago The Observer mado a comparison of the number of boys and girls "graduating*' in town and city graded schools, the number of girls theu being far in excess of the boys, Noticing tho newspuper reports of school "commencements1' this spring, we find that the proportion is about, the same us it was three years ngo. Tho following instances are rep resentative of the condition that pre vails throughout the State : t Boys. Girls.

One reason for this difference is that boys are eager to set into business und to begin the work of money making. An other renson is that nearly all the teachers in the graded schools are wo . men, und boys do not like to be bossed by women. The proportion of boys and girls who complete the graded school work Is about the proportion that go to the colleges. - The women of ttio rising generation are being much better educated than tho men.?Newberry Observer. m v? m - Every farmer Bhould have oneofSnl livan Hdw.
