C., to spend a week with his mother before going to Newberry, to assume the management of a hotel there on July 1. It is with regret our people will learin that he is to leave his pres9it position at the Fitzpatrick hotel. No hotel ever had a more attentive, of ficient and courteous manager than Mr. Plenge. Coming from Charles ton and from one of the best families of that fine old town constituted a suffleient guarantee, but not only. has he made hiis'elf by his business qual ities a valuable citigen, but by his many social qualities he became a great acquisition to our community. Mr. Plenge is a skilled and fine vocal ist and his singing has been greatly admired and enjoyed and will be miss ed by our people.-Cliarleston Post.

Dispensary Paid More for Whiskey Than Other Consumers-Long Discussion Over Other Mat ters. Columbia, June 26.-The matter al most of sensational interest bef.ore tile dispensary investigation mIleeting today was the long-looked for report of time sub-committee, consisting of Messrs. Lyon and Christensen on their several trips of investigation to the whiskey houses from east and west, which have had dealings with tihe state dispeiisary. The report goes into the details of the visits to the houses and a nuiber of ilis1ances are poiited out of houses sellin - to concernI out. sid1 the State at lower prices than1 to tIle Ste stuitff sold to t he state dlisplensary, which is, inl almost5 every case1, the biggest l)lrehlaser. There are many pages of this sort' of details, t he report finmally .winding up w'~ithI a re~oImmlend(at ion to the effect that. .800,000) worth of' claims now being held up 11e contIinued suspendled with the others and1 tile whole matter referred to thle necxt legislature with tihe suggestion thc body appoint a b)oard of expert ac countants to canvass tile variomus claims inl detail, amnd say what should1( he paid and what not. Tile sub-comn mittee argued alonmg the line, that it could not. give tile claims thme search ing -investigation demand(ed., as the members of the committee were in expert accounmtants, and thlat the com mittee had no authlority, anywvay, to scale claims. The body of experts should have authority to (do thmis seal ing and say what part of tIle claims shmould be paid, or if aniy of them should be paid. Tile sessionl this muoring was of lit tle interest othmerwise.

A de cade ago it would haie appearel ridicolous to suggest .the possibilit; of the King of England and the Ge man Eiper.or meeting on the soil o Virginia where the birth of the Amer ican nation was being commemorate by the Jamestown Exposition. Sue a suggestion is, in the light of pres ont events, well within the bound of probability. King Edward is thinking of com ing to America for a visit. The Eng lish newspaper that enojys the pe1 sonal . favor and countenance of tl throne urgeshim todo so.. The Londo Daily Telegrap, the relations of whie with the king have always been cor<d ial, admit that. there are some ol stacles in the way, but insists tha such a visit.would be a great bene fit to the progress of civilization an perpetual international amity. It be lieves sincelely that the visit ough to be made and probably will be mad< It is well known that the Britisl king does not care a straw for prece dent where it interferes with pro gress. The Royal itinerary will includ the Jamestown Exposition near Nor folk, Washington, New York and Can ada. It is peculiarly fitting that Eng land's present king should witness th commemoration of the founding o English speaking America under charter granted by an English king With regard to the visit of the Gler man Emperor we have the word of a Vmninent writer on political subject who is in close relations with th Imperial Foreign Office. IIerr Albrecht Wirth of Munich one of the most distinguished prc fessors at the Pavaripn Universit has contributed a signed article t Dex Tag on the possibility of Presi dent Roosevelt and Emperor Willia exchanging visits. Dr. Wirth is nc only a noted writer on political affair but his coilnections with the Imperil Foreign Office are very close, and a a consequence his suggestions are no only interesting but in a way may h taken as semi-official. Emperor William hips no predile< tions against leaving his nativ shores. Newspaper readers will re call his visit to Palestine and Asi Minor. His Morocan trip is fres No. 6994..

Twice ile has -nade it the subject of a see i tion;in his message to Congress,. and. he has always. expressed himself as cordially ii sympathy with- the mov4 ment to celebrate the birth of the t nation. In fact he has gone to the - extent of saying that the foundatioi of Jamestown is an event "Which - must be celebrated by the American people as a whole.'' At no time could the Emperor's - visit be such a compliment to Mr. Roosevelt personally or to the Ameri - an people, as on the occasion of the Ter-centennial celebration, and it is l certain that at no other time could the - Kaiser's coming have such an iflu c enee in creating or cementing interna tioial friendship. - The ships of civilization will be - anchored in Hampton Roads and the - armies of the world will le encamped 3 and regiments from all the world's 1 countries will he eneanped on the 1 shore.. The Visit therefore would 1e - as eventful as could be desired and as - dranatic as could be conjured by any t wizard of the pen. - Should the Kaiser be induced to I follow Dr. Wirth's suggestion and - visit America, the transportation t facilities of Virginia will be taxed to carry the crowds who would like to welcome him.
