Solomons in Colum bia. who is charged with violat ing section 46 of the local option law; this section of tne Carey Cothran Act forbids soliciting orders from county boards of control, or otherwise influencing these boards in the purchase of whiskey. The arrested man is a representative of a number of liquor houses. and was taken to Beaufort where it is alleged he attempted to solicit orders from the county board contrary to law. Solomons disclaims any in tention of violating the law, but nevertheless he will have to answer to the Beaufort authori ties for having approached a member of that board. The fact of the law being carefully guard ed by those in authority will re move much of the objection some have to the county dispensary system. We cannot see why intelligent men, such as usually represent whiskey houses, should undertake to solicit business from boards of control, other than in the way provided by law, the filing of sealed secret bids with the county treasurer. By complying with the law, there is no temptation held out to those empowered to purchase, and it is a fair and square deal all around. The con Ncern that has the best. goods for the least money will get the order. So far we have not heard of any attempts being made to solicit orders from the local board, and should any be made the gentlemen composing the board would rebuke the at tempt. The county dispensary system is on triVl. everybody re alizes that the sale of whiskey under any system is bad, but at the sametime there are those of us who do contend that as long as it - is possi ble for whiskey to be procured within the State's borders, peo pie will have it, and they will Irink it,therefore,if the stuff will be used,it will be sold,and it is in the interest of good government to sell it lawfully, rather than to submit to the injurious effect of its being sold unlawfully. The State has a law which gives the people the power to rid themselves of the sale of liquor whenever they have, in their own judgment, secured a prohibition sentiment, but where such a sentiment does not exist, it provides for the legal sale of intoxicants. This law should be enforced in every particular, not only to prevent opportunit os for graft, as section 46 of the Carey Cothran law is intended, but to keep a close watch and control over the county dispensaries that the law may be honrstly ad ministered. and that the temper ance features may be carried out, thus making the sale of whiskey in a community the least obnox ious and dangerous as possible. HOPE HELD OUT. Col. William Jennings Bryan regards the Democratic party firmly united with an excellent chance of being victorious in the next election. He bases this opinion upon what appears to be dissentions in the Republican ranks. The Republican party may have differences to the ex tent that a schism seems certain, yet when the time comes for action they line up in solid phalanx and carry nearly i solid North and West. This condition will in our judgment continue as - long as their is a solid Demo cratic South. We honestly be lieve, it would be a great advan tage to the South and the coun try at large if some way could be devised to have two parties in the South not inimical to our socal conditions. Under present conditions the white voters can not afford to divide, they must remain solid to preserve the supremacy of the superior race. but remove the necessity for an enforced political slavery, and there will be divisions upon pol itical questions and the South will uIbecome something more than mere vote furnishers, and there will be no excuse for the other sections to become array ed against her, as is the case today. Notwithstanding the optimis tic views of the great Nebras kan, we have very little faith in his predictions of Democratic success. If Bryan is nominated to lead the party, and we believe he will be, his public utterances have not drawn to him any sup port from our opponents, and if the politicians are an indication. he has made enemies of a great many in his own party: if this be true, his own par-ty undeir a Bryan leadership will be divid ed, and the Republicans with a Roosevelt or a Taft in charge of the election machinery will havej every advantage, as they had nominee under the political sod excepting Cleveland, and be was looked upon by mnany as a good conservative Republican, good enough Republican to be given the support of nearly the entire Independent Republican strength throughout the North, and it was this vote that elected hii prcsidcnt twice. the sate num ber of times that Bryaui was de f'ated. The same Independent Republican vote that elected Cleveand refused to give its support to .1udge Parker. why ? Because. to secure the nomina tion, he crawled upon Bryan's platform which was ayh - varianc -wifh* the~ policies of Cleveland. Had he clung to his gold policy there is a strong probability that Parker would have received imany more votes, although he would not have been elected as Roosevelt was the popular idol, the masses wanted him. Major Schnitz, of San Fran cisco, got a sentence of five years in the penitentiary for monkey ing with his official position. The day has come when men in high position can be, and will be ounished for violating their trusts, in most all of the States except South Carolina. Senator Latiner's letters from abroat are very interesting reading, but we are forced to deprive our readers of the pleasure because of theirlength. If the Senator really wvants his constituents to enjoy with him his European junket, he should have more consideration for the newspaper space he would oc cupy without charge. The newspapers are constant ly. getting up some kind a of sen sational canard on Senator Till man. The senior Senator has not been figuring in the ~lime light of late, but all of a sudden his or somebody else's press agent has him challenging Sen ator Dolliver to a duel. Of course there is nothing in the story. but it serves to wake the people up when they are about to become oblivious to Tillman's existance. The Prohibitionists of the ha tion are severely criticising Vice-President Fairbanks for serving to his guests at a dinner. cocktails with a cherry. If they want to defeat the Indianian, they are certainly not helping their cause by abuse, and if the ithing continues. every Republi ican that loves a cocktail with a cherry will feel that he must stand~ by Fairbanks in selfde fence, and should Vice Presi dent Fairbanks get the support of the cocktail lovers he is a winner as a presidential can didate LUCAs CoUN-TY-.

Editor The Manning Times: Sum merton's business men are getting their backs up in antici pation of the coming fall trade, and of courso are going to have lots of space in THE TIMES. Several important changes have been miade in addition to the usual stock-taking and clean ing up. The Strauss-Rogan Co. has lately bought out the busi ness of the E. A. Tindal Furni ture Co. and moved the stock into a building more convenient to their place of business. This concern is also having its gin ning plant put in thorough con dition to handle the cotton busi ness. The capacity of this plant is one hundred bales per day. Mr. H. A. Tisdale has bought out the ginning outfit of Davis & Tisdale: this is the old plant of the Independent Cotton Oil Co. Mr. Tisdale says he is .out for business and means to have his share. Thle Lanham-Coskrey Co. has bought the commodious brick building at the Northeast cor: ner of Main and Stukes streets. and moved in their stock. This is one of the best stands in town. and well adapted to the wants of this large business. Eadon Bro.s' Co. have moved into one of the Walker brick stores on Main street and will be finely fixed in their new quarters by the time the flency staple ar rives. On the Southwest cor-ner of Main and Dukes streets the large establishment of the Summerton Mercantile Co. stands. These people for several years have. had their grocery department housed in the Belser building! across the street. A new brick building has been built by them in the rear of the dry goods de partment which will connect with the rear of the brick build -ing bought from the Colclough Hardware Co. In these tw~o buildings will be placed the grocery department. Between the dry goods store and the Col ough building a vacant space has been inclosed, in this will be housed the millinery department. n the grocery department has been built a brick and cement! bin capable of holding and re frigerating several tons of meat. The new arr-angements gives this concern three fronts on Main street and one on Dukes stet. The genial president of this c-rmr-r-n Mr. C. l M Dvis informs us that he will have in connection with the millinery department a reception and toilet room for the convenience of his lady customers, and con templates putting in also a com plete water supply. and other iOnv en iences. Plaus are under wav for the coIIstruction of other icik build in in town. As an evidence of how trade is coming this way, the Summer ton Hardware Co. shipped last week a solid Carload of woven wire fence to one of the stations on th -ostern Railroad. ihe Northwestern Railroad is preparing to extend its side tracks. and will no doubt put on several new engines and other tirst-class equipment. Some evil iminded fellow said sometime ago that the only first-class thing in connection with the North western's equipment was the fare. Mr. J. M. Plowden has moved into his new house on Dukes street. Mr. -M. Dwels is preparing to build on Dukes street. On this same street other buildings are to go up. A protracted meeting is an nounced to commence at the Baptist church on next Sabbath. Dr. Ramsay of Charleston, is to be here to assist the pastor, Mr. Tolar. Messrs. J. H. Lesesne and S. 0. O'Bryan of the Manning Bar. visited our town Monday. Farmers. as usual at this time of the year, are in high spirits. Crops are looking tine, and a big harvest is anticipated. Mr. E. B. Felder has bought a gasoline engine mounted trucks which he will use to run his oat thrasher. Messrs. A. A. Strauss, of Mayesville, and I. C. and Isaac Strauss, of Sumter, were in our town this week.

McCarthy.) Washington, D. C.. July. -A compil ation by the Forest Service of the Un ited States Department of Agriculture of the reports received from over 10,000 saw mills in the United States upon their operations in 1905 shows the proportion of lumber kiln-dried and the proportion surfaced, amount of slab wood. sold and the proportion of logs out on lands be longing to the saw mill operators. No igures along these lines are available for New York, and none are given for several of the States in which the cut was very small. The States in which the largest nro portion of lumber i; kiln-dried by mat - ufacturers are South Carolina.with 51.3 ner cent: North Carolina, with 36.5 per cent: Florida. with 35.9 per cent; Ala bama. with 34.8 per cent; and Georgia, with 30.6 per cent. In other States the imourt is less than 30 per cent. Alto ether. 1,142 mills reported the use of di kilns. .\ larg.e amount of the pine cut in the South is kiln-dried in order to reduce its shipping weight. and this is esoecially true or loblolly or North Carolina pine. Kiln-drying is practiced to a less extont in the Rocky Mountain and Pacific coast States, and very little lumber is kiln-dried by the saw mill oporators in the hard wood region or where the cut is principally by portable igills For the country as a whole. about 15 per cent of the lumber out is kiln-bried at the mill. A much larger proportion of the ont is surfaced at the mills than is kiln-daied of the mills reporting, more than 3,900 surfaced a portion of their cut. For the country as a whole, at least 35 per cent is surfaced before it is shipped. In this respect Iowa leads, with 77.2 per cent surfaced: but this is because mostof the lumber cut in that State is in a few big mills along the Mississippi which operate exclusively on northern pine. Aside from Iowa, the States in which the larger proportion of the cut is sur faced at the saw mill are Texas, with 71.7 per cent: Louisiana, with 60.3 per cent: Idaho, 59.4 per cent; Montana, 55.2 per cent: and Arkansas, with 50.6 per cent. In all the other States less than half the cut is surfaced by the saw mill operators, and, as in kiln-drying, a relatively small proportion of the total cut is surfaced in the hard rood regions. Some 4.000 mills reportedsales of slab wood sold totaling 3,503, 287 cords. Washington leads in this respect, with 569.231 cords, followed by Michigan. with 525,518 cords: Wisconsin, with 368, 478 cords: and Virginia, with 213,322 cords. It is probably safe to assume that slab and waste wood brought on an average $1 a cord; hence its sale was a considerable source of revenue to many mills. Considering only the important lumber-producing State.it is interesting to note that the proportion of output reported as sawed from logs cut on the lands owned by the saw mill operations range from 97.4 per cent in California to 34.3 per cen. im Washington. The lumber corn anies in California do their logging largely on their own holdings, and get btut a relatively small quanity of logs from other sources. In Wash ington most of the logging is done by firms which buy stumpage and deliver logs to the saw mills for a fixed con tract price, so in this case the operator of a mill may own little or no tim berland.
