The whiskey element is rejoic ing over Judge Pritchard's tak ing to himself jurisdiction in the dispensary matters, but we see nothing in the action of the Judge to worry the interests of the State. He will appoint spe cial Masters to take testimony. and f this testimony shows up like it has before the Commis sion there are many of the whiskey houses that will not protit by getting their claims scrutinized by a federal court. But Attorney General Lyon will not be content to permit a fed eral judge to override the State of South Carolina without resis tance, and the Supreme Court of the United States will be appeal ed to for relief, until then, the liquor houses that have been robbing the taxpayers of the State in conspiracy with trusted officials who have turned out to be a gang of looters will be im mune from prosecution. It is also possible that Gov ernor Ansel will find it necessary to resist Judge Pritchard's in terference even if he must use his military arm to protect the State's interests. It was this same Judge Pritchard who ren dered a railroad decision con trary to the laws of North Caro lina. and Governor Glenn made him understand plainly that his decision would not stop him from enforcing the laws of that State. Governor Glenn by his determined stand caused the railroads to beg for quarters, and the orders of Judge Pritch ard are hung up in the courts, meanwhile the North Carolina rate laws have gone into opera tion. If Governor Ansel finds he is within the law. he will direct the dispensary commis sion to continue doing its duty and be will protect them with armed force if necessary There are some newspapers in the State endeavoring to make prejidicial capital out of the appropriations made by the re cent session of the legislature, but not one of them will point out wherein an appropriation was made that could have been avoided without endangering the Statgs interests. It is all pop py-cack of the worst sort to charge "extravagant appropri ations." The appropriation made for Winthrop was a due neces sity when it is considered that the la~stitution is turning away girls knocking at its doors for an edlucation to help maintain the civilization of this country. The amount appropriated for the Citadel was obligatory to meet the purchase of property, and to put in a condition habita ble for the sons of white parents young men who are preparing themselves to build up a more enlightened citizenship. Not one of the appropriations were extravagant. The fact that the State levy was raised one mill need not be attributed to extra appropriations, but 12o the desire to cut down the levy last year in response to popular clamor without calculating the urgent needs of the State, and the re sult was the levy was too low to meet the expenses of the gov emnent, which brought about a deficit that had to be met this year. Oh! but the legislature creat ed two additional circuits. It was demonstrated to the satis faction of a large majority that at least one of these new circuits was such a crying necessity,that it was economy to create it and thereby relieve the taxpayers from expense caused by con gested dockets; the other circuit was not quite in as bad condition but fast getting to it. There fore ;lhe combined wisdom of the legis:ature voted for the addi tional circuits on the ground of economy. Then we see it stated by some of these iittle fice newspapers that "the legislature did very little. in fact, less than any other* legislature before it." This is not true. The present general assembly enacted a number of genera~l laws, killed a large num ber, e ome of which should hiave not b-ten killed, compulsory edu cation~ for instance, and there was more legislation of local impor tance than at any previous session in many years. Take it all in all, it was a remarkably well-balanced, conservative ses sion, newspaper conservative pikers with mustard seed hull brain cells, to the contrary not withs .anding.

A Bill to Authorize the Trustees of Summerton School District, No. 22, of Clarendon County, to Issue Bonds for the Purpose of Finishing and Equipping a School Building at Sum toerton, in Said School District. Whercas. the General Assembly of said State, by an Act approved tho 21st day of February, A. D. 1906, authorized the trustees of Summerton School Dis trict, No. 22, of Clarendon County, to issue and sell coupon bonds of said School District, in an amount not ex ceeding twelve thousand dollars, as they may deem necessary, for purchas ing a lot and building and equippin2 a school building at Summerton, in said district: said bonds to be of the denom ination of one thousand dollars each, bearing interest at not more than six per cent. per annum from the date of issue and running for a series of twenty years, and providing for an election to determine whether such bands should be issued, and such electien having been held and such bonds having been issued and sold and disposedlofand from proceeds thereof the Trustees having commenced the erection of a building an,. expended the entire sum of money upon the same, and it is now found that in order to finish and equip the said building it will take the sum of six thousand dollars in addition to the sum already expended, as aforesaid: and Whereas, it is provided in the Act of the General Assembly that for the purpose of paying the said bonds and the interest thereon an annual tax of five mills on the dollar shall be levied upon the taxable property of said School District, which annual tax shall continue until the General Assembly shall otherwise provide; and Whereas, an annual tax of five mills on the dollar will be sufficient to pay the twelve thousand dollars of bonds already issued long before the time of their maturity; and said annual tax will be amply sufficient also to pay the interest and to retire the additioaal sum of six thousand dollars of bonds necessary to complete and equip the said school building Be it enacted by the General Assem bly of the Scate of South Carolina: Section 1. That Trustees of Summer ton School District, No. 22, of Claren don County, are hereby authorized and empowered to issue and sell coupon bonds of said School District, in a sum not exceeding six thousand dollars, as they may deem necessary for the pur pose of finishing the said school bu!d ing and equipping the same: the said bonds to be of the denomination of one thousand dollars each, bearing interest at not more than six per cent. per an num from the date of issue, and run ning twenty years from the date of issue of said bonds; said bonds and in terest coupons- to be signed by the Chairman of th Board of Trustees of said School District, and countersigned by the Clerk of said Board: Provided, That the signatures of said officers may be lithographed upon the bonds and coupons of said bonds; and such litho graphing shall be sufficient signing of same: Provided, That the question of issuing the bonds authorized in this section shall first be submitte(1 to the qualified voters of said School District, at an election to be held to determine whether said bonds shall be issued or not, as hereinafter provided. See. 2. That for the purpose of de termining the issue of bonds author> -d in Section one (1) of this Act, the said Trustees shall order an election to be held at Summerton, in the said School District, on the question of whether the said bonds shall be issued or not, in which election only the qualified voters residing in said district shall be allowed to vote; and said Trustees shall give notice of said election for three weeks in some newspaper published in Clarendon County; ana shall also put said notices in three public places in said School District, shall designate the time and place and appoint the managers of such election and receive the returns of the managers and de clare the result. Sec. 3. The said Trustees shall have printed for the use of the voters in said election two sets of ballots, which shall be placed, an equal number of each, at the polling place, on one set of which shall be printed the words "For the issuing of bonds," and on the other of which shall be printed the words "Against the issuing of bonds." If a majority of the votes cast at said elec tion shall be for the issuing of the coupon bonds provided for in Section one (1) hereof, the said Trustees may Iissue said bonds, or such amount, not exceeding six thousand dollars ($6,000) as they may deem requisite for the purpose set forth it: Section one (1) of this Act, payable to bearer, to run twenty years from the date of issue of 'said bonds. Sec. 4. That the interest upon saidi bonds sha!. be paid out of the annual tax levy already directed to be made under Section 4 of the Act of the Gen eral Assembly approved February 21st. A. D. 1906, and the principal of the said bonds shall be paid out of the balance of the proceeds of the tax levy, and the interest that may accrue there on, in pursuance of the requirements of said Act, and which shall be put aside as a sinking fund for the purpose of retiring the bonds Ireferred to in said Act, and of the bonds herein pro vided for: and that the annual sax levy provided for in said Act shall continue until the General Assembly shall otherwise provide, and until a sufficient sum has been raised to pay the interest and the principal of all of the bonds referred to in said Act, and herein re ferred to. Sec. 5. That this Act shall take effect upon its approval by the Gov ernor. BOOKWORMS. There Are a Dozen Different Kinds of the Borers. "One of the queerest superstitions." says a secondhand book dealer in this city" is the idea that the bookworm commits immense ravages among printed volumes and yet has never been seen. People think it bores holes through books and eats out large cavi ties in the middle of a volume, then disappears, and the superstition even goes so far as to assert that the book worm will eat a hole that would hold a marble right in the middle of a' book, then vanish without leaving any~ exit. "The plain truth is that almost any borers that infest wood will bore holes through books and also that cockroach es do about as much harm to books as any other insects. There are a doz en different kinds of borers that do more or less damage to books, and the reason why the insects are not more frequently caught is that they do their work and generally leave the book to enter the chrysalis state in oth er quarters. None of the boring worms are large, and even when a borer is actually at work the sudden opening of the book allows the insect to drop out unobserved. "American made books, however, are' very little troubled by borers. There are so many different kinds of chem icals used in the covers, bindings, pa per and paste that boring insects gen erally get very sick at the stomach before they have made their way far into an American book. In southern Europe, however, great damage is of ten done to libraries not only by bor ers, but also by ants, which eat their way into the heart of a book and leave galleries and chambers easily mistak en for the work of the horers."-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Life Lines In Trieste's Street For Use When the Bora Blows. That which was once Illyria is now Dalmatia. or, rather. that part of fiyria which reaches the Adriatic is Dalmatia, the half forgotten country, as the Austrians called it when it fell into their hands not so many years ago. It is one of the few bits of Europe that remain in a measure unhackucy ed, and it is still out of the beaten paths of the tourist, who himself is al most as much of a curiosity to the people as they are to him. There are seasons, according to an article in Appleton's Magazine, when the born blows, that wind of death, as the natives call it, which comes out of the blue with more than a suddenness of a tornado and shakes the earth and all that is op- the earth, stinging, blinding. choking. In the square of Trieste life lines are prominent features which the citizens must grasp when the bora clutches them, and they grope their way through the whirling dust and the promiscuous missiles flying in the darkened air. But the bora goes as quickly as 4 comes, and when it is gone the people simply excavate them selves out of the drift and think no more about the winged demon, which has left no trail whatever in the re stored serenity of the scoured sky. HIS SYMPATHY. It Would Have Been Worth More Only He Lacked Presence of Mind. In the criminal court in Baltimore a darky was on trial for stealing a watch, which he had pawned. He was Identified by the owner as the person who grabbed the watch out of his pock et, yet the darky claimed to be inno cent. When asked how he came in possession of the. watch he said: "I was standing on the corner when a man comes up to me and says he is hard up and hasn't a cent to buy food with, and he wants to sell me this ..-atch for $3. I knew I could get $4 on it in pawn, and I felt sorry for him and bought the watch for $3 and pawn ed it for $4. That's how I got the watch." The prosecutor then asked, if he had bought the watch for $3, knowing he could pawn it for $4, simply to help the man along because he felt sorry for him, why he did not advise him to pawn it himself, and then he would have had $4 instead of $3. "Well, you see," said the prisoner, "I didn't have the presence of mind to do dat"-Judge's Library. The Old Suez Canal. Few people are aware that there had been a canal across the isthmus of Suez before De Lesseps ever conceived the idea of his monumental enterprise. A canal across the isthmus was actual ly constructed 600 years before the Christian era and served as a water way for small vessels until about 1,000 years ago, when it was allowed to fall into disuse. Napoleon revived the idea and instructed one of the great engi neers of his day to investigate the mat ter, but though a favorable report was presented to him, in which M. Lepere recommended the restoration of the canal, the work itself was never touch ed. When M. de Lesseps undertook the task of cutting the canal he thought at first to follow the idea of Napoleon and restore the ancient waterway, but this plan was abandoned and the pres ent plan determined upon. The Other Way Around. The loyalty of the Scottish highland er to his kilt Is a picturesque thing. He will never admit that it makes him cold, and highlanders who were suffer ing from cold in the ordinary dress of civilization have been known to substil tute the kilt for it in order to get warm, though this would be much like removing one's coat and waistcoat and rolling up one's shirt sleeves for the same purpose. It is said that a stranger, seeing a soldier In full highlander uniform shiv ering in a cold wind, asked him: "Sandy, are you cold with the kilt?" "Na, na, mon," the soldier answered indignantly, "but I'm nigh kilt with the cauld." Labor of Ants. It would perhaps be pushing meta phors to an unwarranted extreme to speak of "dignity of labor" In connec tion with the occupations of ants. But If by the phrase we mean that labor Is the honorable lot of all citizens and that all labors of whatever sort are upon the same level of respectability then we might venture to apply the saying even to the labors of an ant hill. For therein all are workers, from the newly fledged callow to the vet eran of a second summer.-Harper's Magazine. ________ Nothing.

The new regulations of the Post office Department says unless sub scriptions are expressly renewed af ter the term for which they are paid they shall not be counted in the list of legitimate subscribers, and copies mailed on account thereof shall not be accepted at the second class postage rate of one cent a pound. I hut may be mailed at the transient I second class postage rate of one cent for each four ounces or fraction thereof, inepaid by stamps affixed. THE TiMxs has been very lenient with its subscribers. Some of them are several years behind, but the pa per is still being sent to them. This policy will now have to be changed, as the postoffice department says all papers not paid for cannot be sent through the mail free within the county as heretofore, but will have to be fully prepaid with stamps affixed. We cannot afford to pay I he postage that would be charged and paste stamps on papers of those that are in arrears, as it would cost us more than we would get from such subscribers We will be compelled to drop the names of all subscribers who do not pay up by the first of April, wnich is the limit set by the Postoffice De partment. We would advise sub scribers to come or send in and ar range the matter at once before the rush sets in. We hae no option in the matter, but must obey orders of the Postoffice Department, and we hope we will have the cooperation of all. Look at your label and see how you stand.
