'MUMS; ONE YEAH, - - v- - $1 50 SIX MONTHS. - _-_75 WEDNKSDAY, JI NK 14, 1905. ?iJL.-."" - .- "- - - ' ' - The Lewis and Clark Exposition is open and ready for visitors at Port land, Gregou. The exposition itself ia probably very similar in all respects to other big shows held in recent years, but the trip across the Con tinent will alone he worth the lim- oi any one who has the time and means to visit Portland. It is stated that the President ha* finally yielded to the u-pent represen tations of the Republican leaders in Congress and has promised not to call Congress in special session until after the fall election, presumably on the following .Monday, November 13. The opponents of the president's two important policies, extension control of the railways and a re adjustment of those tariff schedules which, in his estimation, require change, now de clare that they won a great victory and they predict that ultimately the president will abandon the special session idea entirely and that the next Congress will not meet until the day prescribed by law, J )ccember 4. There will be no more discussion now in this country relative to the constitutionality of tho franchise tax law of the various States. A ease that was carried by the corporations to the United States Supreme Court, haa been decided by that tribunal, which holds that the law is valid and not in contravention of the supreme law of the land. This has been a much mooted question all along, many of the corporations holding that tho law taxing franchises was without con stitutional warrant and therefore in valid. It being now established be yond all doubt that the law iH con stitutional, thfe States will proceed without any trouble to collect taxes under this law. The directors of the Anderson Coun ty Fair Association havo decided to hold another Fair during tho month of October. The event last fall was hastily arranged, it was necessarily much restricted in tho nature of its exhibits, but the interest taken in it was ^ratifying and the fair was a suc cess. It is intended this year to have the agricultural and industrial inter eats represented as well as tho usual display of fine cattle and horses. The Fair oan be made an.event of pleasure and profit to tbo people at home, and as a medium of advertising the coun ty's resouroos its value will be great. It deserves the hearty support and encouragement of overy citizen in the county. Tho following press dispatch from Portland, Oregon, under dato of tho 7th inst., tclla how they treat wife beaters in that State: "Charles Mo Ginty, a wife-beater, suffered twonty ? lashes on tho bare baok today, boing the first sufferer under the new 'State law. Tho lashing was performed by tho county jailer under the direction of the sheriff and a physician. Tho whip waB a braider black snake mado of raw hido with four iashes. Mc Ginty, after being sontenoed, Was hus tled to jail, where ho was stripped to >^ ..the waist. Iiis manacled hands wore tied to a door in tho jail oorridor high above bis head. Blood was drawn at tbo fourth blow. MoGinty writhed and groaned and strained at tho man soles binding bis wrists." This is o good law, and should be adopted by every State in the Union. ?j J-""TT?:? K***' The cause of good and pure govern ment has been greatly strengthened throughout the country by the signal victory won over the party bosses in Philadelphia. The fight to save the city from the corrupt and selfish prac tices of the ring that controlled all public improvements has attracted national attention. Tho revelation.' of corruption there are sim.iar tc those in'St. Louis, where the present governor of Missouri, Joseph "W. Folk whilo acting as prosecuting attorney of the western city, exposed the shameful graft and sent many of th< offenders to tho penitentiary, Ic Philadelphia an outraged public for ccd the mayor to veto measures foi city improvements involving million ? of dollars, in which private greet! would have profited at the expense ol the people. The evidences of corrup tion in city, State and national gov ernments are becoming more alarming each year, but it is an admitted faot that abases are particularly pro val col in the largo municipalities. It it there that the fight for pure govern ment must be waged most uncompro misingly. The colleges of South Carolina have olosed this year's work, and the num ber o? graduates 'of the institutions, both State and denominational, is X larger than usual, tfhe young mot ,nd the young women, who have com ?t?d the preliminary requirements lf.| m of an.education and arc now enteriug upon the real work of life, should carry hope and encouragement to the th">sands who arc stuggling for the pn .ege of better school advantages and cannot gefe them, to the thous ands of white children iu this State who are growing up in absolute ignor ance under the indifferent guidance of parents who do not care. The col lege- are doing well, their continued good work is gratifying, hut the com mon schools are not keeping pace with them. The cause of the com mon schools need- special encourge mcut, encouragement of a financial kind, and until facilities are provided to keep every child in the land in school for a reasonable period each year our educational system will con - tinue to he one-sided and inefficient. Under present conditions the facili ties, while inadequate, are in many instances grossly neglected, and the only proper remedy seems to he a com pulsory attendance law. The prospect of peace between Rus sia and Japan grows brighter each day. Roth countries are now ready to accept peace proposals. The prob able terms of peace between the vic tors and the vanquished arc exciiiug much speculation, but it is <;uitc cer tain that Japan will demand a heavy money indemnity, a Japanese protec torate over Manchuria anc' Korea, the cession of Port Arthur and parts of the trans-Manchurian railroad, for feiture of the warships interned at Manila, the withdrawal of Russian warships from the far east for a period of 2"> years and '.he occupation of Vladivotok until these conditions arc fulfilled. The result of the war has been crushing and humiliating to Rus sia, hut it is after all a great blessing to Russia and tho rest of the world. The revolution at homo caused by the reverses in the cast will bring about many needed reforms and will event ually give to the subjects of tho des potic C'/.ar a constitutional govern ment. Russia has been decisively cheeked in her dangerous agressions in the far east, which have threatened the peace of the world. The utter collapse of her imperial plans of cou quest will make for 'liberty and re form and internal rather than external expansion. Little Philip Pruitt. On last Wednesday evening at 0 o'clock, when the alludes of night had curtained nil in darkness, the silver cord time bound little Philip, tho 1S mouths-old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Pruitt, of Starr, S. C, to this earth, was broken and his little soul took its ilight to a brighter home above. No moie will his little aisrers and only hrother hear the aweet voice nnd pratliug noise ot little Philip. He was sick only a ahort time, but had a complication of diseases, and all that loving parents, friends and skill ful physicians could do to alleviate his pain proved to b? in vain, as God, who rules all things, thought his little soul too pure and gentle to stay here in thin world of sin and Borrow. We miss him here but will hnve to part with him with the hope of again meeting him in Henven, where there will be no seperations. The funeral sen ices were conducted by Itev, liailey, alter which, his little body was laid to rest in tho c* >tery ut Cross Bonus, v Yo Borrowing ones whose test care, Was by his conch to stay Andl>y your faithful watching strive His Buiieiiugs to allay; No moro ou earth that precious task Will to your hearts bo given; Your loved ouo needs your care no more, There nto no sick in Heaven. M. L. F. Iva, S. C, Juno 10. Denver News. Good rains fell in this section Sun tiny eveniug nnd Monday afternoon. Most of our t'armera are good ones and ' have got their crops clean and wheat cut. So the rain came in good time for them. Soon as the soil gets dry enough they will be busy going over i crops tho second time and sowing , stubble with peas, sorghum or millet. We challege the county to show finer crops or better farmers than we have around Denver. The lady in Brushy Creek who had snap beans for dinner on the 28rd of ; May, was a good gardonor, but Mrs. E . M. Brown, of Denver, had them on the 15th of May. Perhaps it might be t of interest, to gardeners to know that Mrs. Brown's early beans were of the stringless green pop variety. They were planted in March and were up I and about 4 inches high when the heavy frosts of tho 16th and 17th of April came, but were saved from its I killing blast by being covered at night with planks, which were supported every six feet with rooks. It was acme t trouble, but she was more than repaid by having plenty of early beans. > Several of our citizens speak of f going to Charleston today on tbe , Smith excursion, but it is a too busy season with fanners.for many to go. s The Smith excursions are always so I nicely conducted that it is a pleasure to go on one. _ ' Mrs. A.
