The News and Courier's para grapher wants to manage the Manning base ball team this summer. but should it now un dertake to play with a Ball from the News and Courier office, the sympathy of the country would be lost sure enough. The Columbia Record Con tinues to accept the enactment of the local option by trying to find 1 oop-boles whereby the county boards can acure graft. As a teacher to point the way to graft, The Record may, if it con tinues on in the way it it going, prove itself an authority. The NewberryObserver seems to think it would be a violation of the Constitution for the judges to accept the k500 salary increase recent y voted by the legislature. We doubt if the question will be raised. and if it is, the judges will find a place in the Constitution where the sala ry raisd will fit. Think of it, the great defender of the State dispeasary, and denouncer of the Cary-Cothran law, ofter accusing the local optionists of paving the way for high license, being the very first to commence a high license cam paign. The Columbia Record is now urging high license, but we look for a change as soon as Senator Tillman declares for Prohibition. Senator Tillman's coming lec ture tour might be termed a whirlwind klondike. He is to get $200 a night for telling peo ple what they already know. There is not another man in the Union who can fill Tillman's place upon the lecture platform. Any other attempting to deliver lectures upon the same subject, even if they used Tillman's own words, and gestures, would be given the laugh. Congress adjourned yesterday and Congressman Legare comes home with a 870.000 appropria tion for an immigrant station perched upon his victorious ban ner. We regard this measur-e a splendid piece of sork for the State. Our Congressman has certainly done effective work for his district. and Legare's per sonal influence is entitled to the credit for the success of tile im migration station bill. The Federal government au thorities have threatened to prosecute John F. Werner, a Charleston meat dealer, if he -persists in smuggling tainted meats into the city. Werner has, it is 'alleged, been evading the meat inspection laws by having rotten meats shipped him billed as "soap grease." This meat would be overhauled. packed in sacks and shipped to merchants in the country and sold for food. Many of the diseases afflicting the poorer class of people, especially negroes, may be at tributed to spoiled meats which are sold cheap. The health laws of the country cannot be too drastically enforced. The first attempt on the part of liquor houses to get on the good side of members of county boards of control resulted in fail ure and immediate exposure. Clark Bros. of Peoria, Ill.Mns~t to Mr. C. W. Stansill of the Sumter board, a case of whiskey samples for his "personal use," but Mr.,Staeill has no "person al use>-tor liquor, and refused to aet, at the same time making public the incident. This con cern is the one that sold to John Black 2100 barrels of whiskey at the time Black paid Peoria a visit. The shipment of these samples was in clear violation of the new liquor law, and while the shippers cannot be indicted, they can be black listed and not be considered as legitimate bid ders for business by any county board in the State. There is a case in the United States district court, the deci sion of which will be of great importance to the farmers as it effects the validity of our agricul tural contract laws. The object of getting in the district court is to put the question in line for an appeal to the United States supreme court. and it would sur prise us greatly should that court sustain a contract which makes its violation ori breach, a misdeanor, punishable by im prisonment. It is our judgment,: that our farmers might as well begin to devise some other means of secenring labor, because the present system has been so badly abused that it has proven a veritable boomerang. It failsj to secure a satisfactory class of labor, and gives desigining inidi viduals an opportunity to specu late and take longr chances of~ forcing their profits out of* the1I The appropriations made by the last legislature have ex ceeded the State's income from all sources. Is there any won der that our tax levies do not decrease? The people put the blaine for this condition upon theiir Representatives, whenl the blame should not thus be placed. There is not a year but the tax pavers made demands for im provements that call for addi tional appropriations and when the demands are complied with the people raise cain when they go to pay taxes. The Confed erate veterans have received an increase of $25,000, the colleges have secured more money, $50. 000 has been appropriated for high schools and many other demands made by the peopIC have caused the appropriatiols to exceed the income. The conviction of J. P. Gib son, the Columbia bond broker, was based entirely upon the evidence of a self confessed criminal. and in our judgment a sad injustice has heen done to a man on the brink of the grave and to whose reputation has al ways been good. He bought and sold bonds, it was his regu lar business, Zimmerman was employed in the State Treas urer's office, and was a man of supposed means and good repu tation, from the evidence as pub lished in the newspapers there was no way for Gibson to know that the bonds he was selling for Zimmerman were being pur loined from the State. Gibson's testimony was stamped with truth upon its face, and the jury should have believed him instead of the man upon whose evidence they convicted. We believe the verdict unjust. We understand there are some who are anxious to begin the circulation of a petition to have the Supervisor order an election td vote the county dispensary out. This does not come from those favoring prohibition, but from an element that heretofore advocated the State dispensary. The county dispensary plan should be tried, and then if the experiment is unsatisfactory it is time to repudiate it, but to agitate its abolishment at this time is not fair, and besides, should the people vote it out they must understand the tax I levy will have to be raised to an increase of not less han four I mills to meet the ordinary ex penses of the county, and the school term will have to be shortened. When asked to sign a petition for such an election you should consider whether or not the railroads will bring in whiskey, and if they can, will it be advisable to be deprived of the revenue derived from liquor profits, with the liquor abomina tion going right on, is it a comn mon sense business proposition to have our taxes increased and our school term shortened just for the name of closing up the dispensary, and whiskey per mitted to reach every express office in the State. Dr. John C. Kilgo, president of Trinity college in -North Car olina on the 2nd, inst., delivered an address in New York in which he took occasion to con demn the utterances of Senator Tillman. by saying "The South has grown tired of its old kind of leadership and there is a long ing for-some one to come for ward and voice its new senti ment. Never before was there felt throughout the South by worthy men in every line of work a deeper humiliation than that recently provoked by the rough and sectional utterances of Senator Tillman in the United States Senate." Dr. Kilgo does not seem to realize the value that Tillman's "rough and' sec tional utterances" are to Till man, they afford him excellent advertising material as is mani fest by the demands on his time upon the lecture platform. We' doubt exceedingly if the polished eloquent, Kilgo would be an at traction or a drawing card for a Chatauqua or lyceum association, nor could he command one half the price that Tillman can. It was P. T. Barnum we believe who said the American people loved to be hum-bugged, and Senator Tillman is s h r e wd enough to know just the kind of talk it takes to. reach their pock et books.

They simiply talked this measure to encourage Amer ican shipping to death, and thereby delayed legislation, or more properly speaking, succeed ed in obstructing a movement which meant much to the cotton raisers of the South, and played iiht into the hands of the great trans-continental railroads, so that the cotton will continue to be hauled upon the railroads across the continent at heavy f-eight charges, before it can be loaded upon vessels for China and Japan. Ship subsidies may be of help to the North, we do not doubt it, but that the placing of Ameican~t~ ships upon the high seas which can conme into com petition with tile ships .of coun subsidies appears to us as a good, sound, business proposition, and it must be conceded, one of the great drawbacks to the prosper ity of American cotton growers is the lack of shipping facilities, and what they have, is weighted down with expensebofore it can even reach the uarkets that European speculators will per mit. This country, and the South especially. needs a,, American merchant marine, andit is not to the credit of Democratic states menship that it is obstructed. fHow to Avoid Catching Colds.

In their haste to use cheap fertilizers. consisting largely of Acid Phosphate (dissolved rock). many farmers have, in a measure, overlooked this valuable material. We are now directly importing and placing it upon the market at prices -.hich make it the cheap est as well as the best source of plant food. Skilful culture will avail little unless plants are well nourished, and the excess of one elc ment cannot supply the demand for another. PERUVIAN GUA O supplies ALL the plant food elements furnished by ground bone. acid phosphate. tankage. dry --round fish, dried blood, sulphate of ammonia, cotton seed meal. etc. These elements are already intimately mixed and combined by natural processes. making it the Best Possible Base for Home Mixtures. For certain crops it may seem advisable to add more Potash to the percentage contained in Peruv-ian Guano, either by mixing the material or by applying the aditional quantities as a sidn application. We are in a position to-quote lowest price-, on the following materials. and to ship them along with the Peruvian Guano: M1il1e 01 P0o1 sh Lill 01 PolsI Ki0i1 S ENiole ol 8o 8alibale o Potoh Bsi 816 , An 80-page book on -Plant Food Problems" is of interest toe-ery farmer and will 'be se~I free upon request.
