A Tennessee Judge bas officially de clared t-noring iu Church to be a breach of the peace; and tacked down It is opinion by fining a man $20 for doing it. But how about snoring in un apartment house with thin Malls'.' A Texas girl advertised fo? a hus band and {M>t him. The total ex pense for advertising, welding out lit, etc. was ?11. Within a year he died leaving her an insurance policy of $10,(100. And yet some people claim it does not pay to advertise. The South Carolina Baptist, pub lished at (?reenwood, has been sold to Bev.

Sanders, of Timmons ville, is now in oharge of that excel lent journal, the Greenville Moun taineer, as editor and business man ager. We extend him the ri^ht baud of fellowship and wish hi:n a happy and prosperous career in th* journal istic ranks._ It turns out now the seo.-ets of the Agricultural Department with refer ence to the tobacco crop, no well aB the cotton crop, have been fraudu lently manipulated in the interest of the trust, and Secretary Wilson has ordered an investigation. It is well that the farmers have organized to protect their interests. The war between Rup?"? and Ja pan bas been one of the most impres sive and powerfully illustrated tem perance lectures ever delivered. The Russians are heavy drinkers of vod ka, very much the same as Ameriean whiskey. Their officers are said to be half-drunk all the time, and at times more than half. The men drink all they can get and witth for more. On the other hand the Ja panese are not boozers. They do not drink to any extent. The result is shown too clearly to need any elabor ation._ The dispensary investigation com mittee met in Columbia a few days ago. It develops that practically all the appropriation of $3,000 has been spent, but the committee has much more to do before its work is com pleted. It is not st all likely that the investigation will oease on that ac count, for the members will borrow the neoessary money and trust to the Legislature to refund. The commit tee has secured mueh evidenoe in secret, it is said, but when the time is ripe it is proposed to confront the accused men, wherever they may be, with the evidenoe and allow them a hearing. In too many American homos boys are growing up, not having a proper regard for labor. We are not going to place the blame, but we suspeot the parents. They have not made the boy do his duty 'around the home. They have felt that every hour he is out of sohool he ought to devote to play. Play is a good thing, and there must be some of it in every young life. But it is better for the boy that be be made to disobarge his duties and do his errands. It would be surprising to know how many peo ple in moderate oiroumstances hire men to mow their lawns with healthy, strong boys about the premises doing nothing. The United States have profited largely by the war between Kueoia and Japan. Heretofore the trade of this country with Japan has been in significant when compared with that of England. This year there is every reason to believe that it has gone be yond that of England. This is an in crease .that is worthy of note, for .lohn Bull never sleeps when it comes to driving trade. The United States have every reason to believo that this trade is going tu inoreaso in the fu ture and that with the ending of the war with Russia the Japanese people will turn to America for much of their goods that they have in the past bought elsewhere. It has been the endeavor of the Southern Presbyterian Chureh for the past five years to raise a million and a quarter dollars for the beneficent purpose of ministerial relief. Up to date only $25,000 of the amount has been raised, but the recent donation of M" Hugh Inman, who is an elder of tn> First Presbyterian Chureh of Atlanta, brings the consummation of the Presbyterian plan within striking distance. Mr. Inman has donated $100,000 on tho condition that an ad ditional $125,000 ,be ,raised by the, executive committee of tho fund. With this splendid nucleus ta ,start upon She Church officials are sanguine ttrat $250,000 or nearly :a quarter of. tne entire sum aimed at, will soon be in bapd Seme Ilitch in Street Department. Mr. Editor: There seems to be some uncertainty and Home hitch in the workings of the street department, l*p to some time ago tho Street .Super intendent was the man in charge of the street hands and the street work ing, being guided by the Chairman of the Street Committee of tlio Council. Bat now things have changed. As we understand it, there are now two Street Superintendents, both being on the same tooting ami receiving the same pay, with the City Engineer in charge o! the whole husinesBi and tho Chair man of tho Street Committee in charge (?1 the City Engineer, Tho whole busi ness seems to be in a muddle and no body tu particular in charge of any thing. Where there are so many boss es, nobody m boss. One Street Super intendent is allowed to hire or lire hands us ho sees lit and compel con v etH to work and not beat time, while the other Superintendent is not allow ed to do this. It takes system to suc cessfully operate ally business and this is what the Street Department needs. The Street Superintendent should bo under the City Engineer and tho hands and teams should be under tho Street Superintendent. Citizen. Townvillc News.

Columbia, July 19.?The point has been raised as to how long the coun ties that vote out dispensuries will ro main "dry" in a legal way when tho dispensary is voted out. It appears that the law is that if an election is held to vote out the dispen sary and fails it cannot bo tried again tor four years, and the dispensary re mains for four years. The counter proposition also holds. It an election is held, and tho dispensary in voted out of a county it cannot be voted back into the county for four yearn, in fact, no election can be held. There may, however, ben change In the statute law, but under the Brice bill as it now stands an election every four years is all that can be held. Wild Ko* News.

The special investigating committee appointed by the last Legislature to inquire into the finances of Greenville County, with special regard to the Supervisor's office, has developed a sensation of large proportions. Fol lowing the arrv. :t ten days ago as he was about to board a train for North Carolina, of yonnp Arthur Speegle, son of the Ex-Snpervisor, whose books are said to show variona forms of criminal irregularities, on a warrant sworn out by Chairman Avery Patton, of the investigating committee, charg ing young Speegle with obtaining money under false pretenses by fraudu lently drawing moro salary than the act entitled him to, Governor Bey ward has issued requisition papers for; the father, Ex-Su per visor J, E. Speegle, who is at Hendoreonville, where he is said to be in a dying condition. The committee is making a thorough investigation and has shown that Ex Supervisor Speegle received several thousand dollars during his two terms of office that never reached the coun ty treasury. It is also shown that members of the Board of County Com missioners and others connected with Speegle's administration received big extra pay for their services. Speegle's bond wos $5,000 for each term, which was two years, and this was issued by a surety company. The county will demand paymeut from the surety company, which in turn will assist in the prosecution. It was not on this charge, however, that the war rant for Speegle's arrest was issued, as this evidence came to light subsequent to that proceeding.. Gist Rifles Survivors' Association.
