MOORE THE MARTINET. The action of Gen. W. I Moore, Adjutant General, sending three of the militia cot panies home from the Aiken e campment because they lack upon arrival a few men of t] number required by the regul tions, has brought upon that ficer the censure and criticism many. The News and Couri of last Thursday editotially ce sured General Moore, and sai "It would seem that Adjuta General Moore is determined make trouble for the South Ca olina militia wherever possiblE We agree with our Charlest< contemporary, General Moo: knows full well that the milit of this State is in a precario condition, and that the least e cuse.to deprive it of federal a w ill be taken advantage c therefore he should endeavor help rather than hinder by tec nicalities the companies throug out the State. In the case of tj .Orangeburg company, he w formed by the captain that it w the first ttme in nineteen yea that his company failed to go i to encampment with less th; forty eight men, but on accou of the busy season some of t1 men could not start with t] company but had promis to join it early in the e campment, this explanatic had no weight with Gener Moore, and the Orangeburg coi pany had to strike tent and, back home without receivu any money for its transport tion. Under the circumstanc the Adjutant General could ha exercised some discretion ai given'to Captain Claffy and E men a little chance to get gether, but no, he preferred tl role of a martinet.- Wheth there is any politics in his co duct we do-not know, but we i know that he and the Comma der-in-Chief are not as cordi towards each other as State c ficers should be, and these clas es are not calculated to brii them together very fast. It is' to be regretted that ti militia should be made to suU because of the stubborness of man who seems determin< to make trouble for it to ve his'feelings upon a superior< flcer, if that is what is prom< ing him. The 19ews and Cou jer's comment is so timtely th we reproduce it here as suppi mentary to our own. ~ADJUTANT GENERAL MOORE BLUNDERS. It would seem that Adjuta General Moore is determined >~-make trouble for the South Ca olina militia wherever possibi We do not for a moment dou that in ordering three of ti * companies of the Third Res ment home from Aiken becau they did not have the requiri number of men Mr. M oo i thought he was doing only wh his duty required him to do. E judgment, however, seems have been very bad, certainly the case of ttne Orangeburg coi pany. This company left Orange bur according to the statement Captain Claffy, with 33 enlisti men and three officers. It lack< only five enlisted men of havii the full complement necessa: for compliance with the milita: --law. The others declared tb they could not leave home wi the company because their ero: 'were in such condition as abs lutely to demand their attentio A number of them promised join the company at Aiken ear in the encampment. Capta Claffy states, moreover, th "this is the first time in o nineteen years of service to t State that this company has fa ed to turn out less than 48 m at every encampment or ma oeuvers." Upon such statement of fac the action of the Adjutant Ge erd.1 in ordering the Orangebu: company home, or, what amour ed to the same thing, in refusii to furnmsh the men with subsi tence if they remained, wou have been unduly harsh at a' time and in any circumstance To have taken such a course a moment when the military s naution in South Carolina is delicate, when almost within t1 week the National Guard h been saved from difficulty from threatened disorganization whis he by his tactlessness and wa of discretion has done much precipitate, was glaringly inj dicious. However praiseworthy ma have been the Adjutant Gene al's itnishis handling has been singularly unfortunat Senator Bristow was one the critics of Secretary B~rya and Bryan's friends go back the Senator to show that he ta was after the long greenI wanting a soft government j< that would not take him aw; from home but a part of 1: time. We would not be su prised if the whole bunch -Washington has not at sot time profited by their offici prestige in ne way or nthem THE PARCEL POST. Notwithstanding the opposi tion in the senate Postmaster I General Burleson is determined to put into effect his policy of reducing the rates on parcels, and increasing the weights from eleven to twenty pounds., with a strong probability of later im creasing the weight to one hun dred pounds. The railroads are so protesting against this increase 75 of weight, claiming that it will causea loss of $15,000,000 to $20.000,000 a year. According 3 or to the contention of the railroads e the people have been paying au - awful lot of money for the con venience of having their parceis transported, and now that the -government will do this work in for about one third charged by n- t h e transportation companies, n- there should be no complaint on ad the part of the beneficiaries. le The only thing in connection a- with this parcel post system that If- gives room for serious consider of ation, is the effect upon the local er dealer, if it is going to have the n- effect of sending the cash out of d: the reach of the local dealer to nt the great syndicates operating O the mail order concerns, it may r result in hampering the local en -" terprises. The syndicates with their large capital can buy the e outputs of factories, or can op ia erate factories themselves, as should be able to place on the x market goods at a smaller cost id than the local dealer, added to If, this, the transporting facilities to offered by the government, must b- necessarily put the local dealer, h who is a tax payer, at a great ie disadvantage. Is But it is argued that the mass aS es will benefit, in, that they will rs be able to save money. This is a n- question deserving more than a in casual consideration. Grant that Qt the actual purchase will save e them money, if the local mer 2e chant is crippled by the money d being sent away from his mar n- ket, will he be able to handle the In various products of those who al patronize the foreign stores? n The farmer can order a plow _o point and save ten cents. but ig when he has eggs or butter to a' sell will his local merchant be in es a position to handle his product? ve It the local merchants are to be 2d crippled by the government's 's policy we ai e not so sure that to the proposed increase of weight le together with the reduction of er the postage rates is the blessing n- claimed for it, but we readily 1 see wherein it is a boon to the n- foreign concerns that do not con al tribute a farthing towards the af- support of the local government, h the schools, the churches, or any ig of the other institutions neces sary for the uplifting and the 2e upbuilding of the communities er from whence they will draw the a money. ut if- J0 VOTE, NO TAX. t- Senator Tillman resents the r. statement made by The Orange at burg Sun that he had changed e- his attitude with regard to giv ing the ballot to every white man. The Senator was the main factor in framing the suffrage clause in the State constitution, nt and our recollection of the dis to cussion at the time is that the r- .purpose of the requirements of e. th constitution was to insure bt the ballot to white men. but to ie make it difficult for negroes to ri- become qualified. It was the se general impression at that time, ad and since, white men were not to e be deprived of the ballot under at any conditions, but a reading of is the constitution will show that to white. men can be deprived if the in law is strictly carried out, and n- enforced; a white man who can not read and write or has not as g, much as three hundred dollars of worth of taxable property on the d books, is according to the funda d mental law, disfranchised, not ig withstanding he is forced to pay ry a poll tax, and perform such ry public duties as may be required at of him; in case of war, he can be th drafted into the service of the ps country to defend and protect 0- property, he is subjected to work n. on the public highways, assist in to making arrests at the command ly of the sheriff, and yet because in he has not the necessary amount i t of taxable property, and is so un Lr fortunate as not to be able to ie read and write a clause in the 1- constitution, he is not eligible to mn have a voice in the government. n- We have na idea that Senator Tillman would lend himself to ts deprive any white man of his n- vote, but we are satistied there rg is an element in this State which it- hope to secure by a strict en ig forcement of the requirements of s- the constitution, a curtailment of ld the votes by confining the ballot 2y to the towns and thickly popu s. lated communities, in the belief at they will be able to come into it- control. But it is our opinion, so these are counting without con bsideration, illiteracy has been as practically removed from this .a State, the most isolated sections :are provided with schools, and nt it is i-are to find a white person to who cannot read and write, the, u- few who cannot, if good citizens should not be subjected to the ,y humiliation of being refused the r- right to exercise their wishes in of matters of public interest, unless ly their condition carries with it ex e. emption from public duties also. of The proposition to make a new nl county from portions of Spar atanburg and Laur-ens. and for 20 the county sea.t to be located at &Y Woodruff ~was defeated y-este >day. The craze for new counties .has somewhat subsided, the peo is ple are getting on to the object -of those who agitate these mat e ters, they have learned the agi al tation is usually prompted to aid . land secnlatnr. PICAYNNISH. Cannot some one suggest a way to make the State officers behave, so they will quit snap ping at each other through the newspapers? Within the last few weeks several of the depart ments have had a controversy, much to the disgust of the peo ple. The latest row jumped up is because the Comptroller Gen eral assuming to be the guardian of the treasury, took it upon himself to question a small ac count for expenses incurred by the Attorney General for enter taining the Attorneys General from all over the United States. Some time during Attorney Gen eral Lyon's administration, the Attorneys General were invited to hold their convention in South Carolina. the legislature made an appropriation for the expen ses of this convention, and the present Attorney General Peebles had the entertainment in charge, but when he files his account with Comptroller Gen eral Jones as the law requires, that officer took it upon himself to reject the same. construing the appropriation to mean, the fund so appropriated was for actual expenses, such as hotel bili and railroad fare, but noth ing to pay for the smoker given in honor of the visitors, there fore, instead of some $200. the account filed, the Comptroller General reducted the amount to less than $25. This has the aDpearance of captiousness to us. at any rate, it is picayunish in the extreme. The general assembly gave its approval to entertain the visit ing officials from the other states, and made a small pro vision to defray expenses; after all is over, and the guests re turn to their homes, the news papers are forced to carry the humiliating story of South Car olina's picayunishness. It would serve this State right if those gentlemen who were entertained would get together and contri bute the small amount -out of their own pockets. The appro priation Act did not go into de tails to say how these visitors should be entertained, whether they should be treated to soda water and cheroots, or grape juice and cigars, but the enter tainment was authorized, and if the comptroller general persists in refusing to sign the warrant, the general assembly will make a special appropriation for it. WILL MEXICO BE OURS! It will take much tact and cool statesmanship to keep the United States from getting into a scrap with Mexico. Ambassador Wil son has had his conference with the .President and Secretary B r y a n, but the situation be came somewhat complicated by the arrest and shooting of an immigrant officer. This gov ernment regarded the matter so seriously that it demanded the arrest and punishment of those who shot the official, and it may result in this government's tak ing a positive stand with regard to recognizing the opposition to the Huerta government. Ambassador Wilson is quoted as saying the reports heretofore published relating to conditions in Mexico have been highly col ored, and that things are'not as bad as they have been made to appear, but now since the in cident at Juarez, the Constitu tionalists, the opposition to the Huerta administration. are tak ing advantage of it to incite this government's prejudice in the hope there will be intervention, and a final overthrow of the party now in power. ft would not surprise us in the least if congress declares war against Mexico. There are too many idle officers in the army craving action, then too, there is a strong sentiment to annex Mexico to this country, and further, the rich mines and the rich areas of land, together with other fields for exploitation. tend to arouse the money Devil to activity. If this country would aunex Mexico, the vast land holdings possessed by the aris tocratic few would be confiscated and the country opened up to settlers. Whether this would be for the best interests of the South is problematic, because should that country get develop ed, and enter extensively into the culture of cotton and other crops, the mainstay of the South ei-n States, we ar-e not so sure that annexation would be beneficial to this section. The report fr-om Washington this morning indicates that Ex Governor D. C. Heyward will be appointed Inter-nal Revenue Col lector for the district of South Carolina. It is said that both of our United States Senators have' endoi-sed him for the place. Should Pr-esident Wilson give this appointment to Ex-Governor Heyward, wve feel sare it willI meet with the appr-oval of a vast majority of the people of this State. because he has refrained from taking an active part in partisan politics since his retire ment from the governor's office, and therefore has given no of fense to either of the existing factions. Besides. Go vernor Hey war-d is r-egar-ded a good business1 man, fully qualitied to fill the po sition with credit to himself and' to the government. Comptroller General Jones turned dlown Attorney General Peebles account foir $214.70 ex penses incurred for the recent convention of the attor-neys gen eral which was held in Charles ton, and for which the general a:ssem bly marle a nappropriation. REFORMING BANKING. The currency bill now in the s course of consideration by the C Banking Committee does not c seem to have as smooth sailing 1 as did the tariff measure when r in the hands of the Democratic ( caucus; with the currency meas- I ure there is a considerable dif- ] ference of opinion, s o m e of I the discussions have been some what heated. The chaifman of 6 the committee however, seems r to t h i n k the bill will go r through practically as it has I been framed notwithstanding t the strenuous objection of Con- r gressmen Ragsdale, of South c Carolina, and Henry of Texas. t Chairman Glass has the ear of s President Wilson and no doubt J Secretary Bryan has also given r his approval to the measure, if this is true, regardless of cir cumstances or results the bill t will become a law, and the bank ing methods will undergo a con siderable change. We are not sufficiently informed whether the change will give opportunity to get money on easier terms and at a cheaper rate of interest, and whether it will have any effect upon the present system of ex tortion in the way of preliminar ies to secure loans-fees for ne gotiating the loan, and fixing the papers, commissions for secur ing the loau, and discounting the loan to evade the usuary law; under the contemplated banking law the present congress has under consideration there may f be reformation along the lines referred to, if there is we feel sure those who must deal with the banks will welcome it, but if there is no reformation along the lines indicated, the masses will V get ver.v little benetit from the legislation. THE CONFERENCE. The conference for the Com mon Good to assemble in Colum bia next week on the 6th, and a 7th., should be able to accom- E plish something towards offer ing suggestions which will ena ble the farmers in coming to s some better understanding as to r how to market their cotton crops t the coming season. There is no doubt that with some systematic method thera can be a better marketing plan evolved than t the haphazard way cotton has I been sold in the past. The matter of grades is important to under a stand so that the value of the cot- t ton can be obtained, as it has been L in the past, very little attention 1 has been given to this feature, t the most important in cotton sel- t ling. Then too, the conference t can do much towards urging the ' planting of other money crops a besides cotton, in this section of the State the cultivation of to bacco is an industry which needs fosterimg, trucking is another b crop which can be made profit- u able, there are numbers and i numbers of suggestions the con- ~ ference can make which will do i, a vast amount of good.' We hope the attendance will be large from every county in the State, and n from it will spring the community ~ conferences whereby the people, g whether they be farmers, mer es chants or mechanics, will get to gether on common ground for the general good. After a seige of exposure of Republican congressmen. Col. Muball turned his searcLlight j: upon Democrats and dragged t1 in the name of Hon. Oscar Under. wood as one of the gentlemen 2 he had questionable relationsa with to secure legislation in the o interests of the National Asso- Ib ciation of Manufacturers, but I Mr. Underwood denounced the ~ testimony of Mulhall as lies. t The department of commerce is investigating into the increase e price of fertilizer, and it is ex- C pected this investigation will be d productive of good results, as it is claimed that since the investi- 3 gation commenced the price of nitrate of soda has decreased $13 per ton. If the government can succeed in having the price of fertilizer decreased it will be a great help to the farmers, and if a it will see to it that adulterations U d dlo not come with the decrease in o price then the cost of making the z crop will be reduced. C - g b Here is a chance for some one to make a little pocket money. | There was a bill introduced in s the senate yesterday offering a reward of $100,000 for an effec tive remedy against the boll weevil. Whether this is intend ed as a burlesque of the South r, Carolina senator's recent activ- n, ity in the interest of the cotton a' grower we do not know, but if V the reward is offered by the gov- ~ einent sure enough, we would a get in on the ground floor by suggesting as an effective way to get rid of the pest. the cap ture of the insect aud choking it to death, every one destroyed a this way will be dead.F The office of Internal Revenue u Collectoi will be re-established I; in this State under an order of th e President, making South s Carolina a separate revenue dis- e trict. This opens up a new po. a sition for the representatives to recommend some one for. Just where the headquarters will be has not as yet been made known, but when the great tobacco in dustry is considered it would not suprise us if Florence is named. i When the office was abolished the headquarters was at Colum- i bia, with Maj. Micah Jenkins in a charge, but nowv as it is to be re- I established, it appears to us ita would be more convenient for those who will come into busi - ness relations with it to have the loc tion neanr th e tobacco bel t. Senator Vardaman, of Missis ippi, objects to the appointment f a negro to the office of registry f the treasury. This juicy plom as been held by negroes for a umber of years, even under the 'leveland administration it was eld by a negro, but now that a )emocratic President sits at the ead of the table, the Mississippi enator protests. The Columbia otate of yesterday editorially eads a lecture to Vardaman for 2aking a break like this. and 'roceeds to say why there should e some consideration shown the egro. The position of Registar f the Treasury is very impor ant, carrying with it a good alary, and considerable dignity, ost why it should be given to a egro has r.ever been explained. J. J. Cantey, Esq., of Summer on, has tiled com plaint with Hon. ;. J. Watson, Commissioner of Lgriculture, with regard to the resent relation between the iard )rd and tenant since the recent ecision of the supreme court. fr. Watson promised to direct he attention of the legislature o Mr. Cantey's contention in his eport to that body for such re ef as it thinks best. Mr. Cantey eems to have been under the npression that a lainidlord had a ien on the crop for supplies in reference to all other -i e n s 7hether the same was in writ ag or not, and he contended that written lien was not necessary or the landlord to assert his laim, but the supreme court and Ir. Cantey entertain different iews, hence Mr. Cantey's ap eal to Commissioner Watson for hat we might term a writ of uper se de as. It begins to look as if Henry sane Wilson will not go back to exico officially. If the many tories published relating to the iews expressed by this diplomat re half true he has demonstrat d his unfitness for the place, nd should be requested to re ign. The successor of Ambas ador Wilson should be from exas, and the border part at hat, perhaps then familiarity ith the Mexican traits of char cter will bring about an under tanding between the two coun ries. Ex-President Roosevelt as been suggested for the posi ion, of course this is not prob ble, but if President Wilson was o put the Mexican situation into is hands to be solved it would ot be a week before he would ave that country overrun with roops, and the Greasers beg ing for terms. Right or wrong Poosevelt would take positive ction. Deafness Cannot be Cured Slocalapplications, as they cannot reach the seased portion of the ear.

WAGE ARBITRATION. The experience arising from large wage controversies places a serious responsibility upon those whose duty it is to enact proper legislation governing the relations between employer and employee, to consider whether the Erdman act should not be amended to increase the number of arbitrators and thereby con stitute a board of sufficient size to properly represent the public as well as the parties to the con troversv and to direct the neces sary farreaching Investigations and fully share the responsibility of in impartial determination of the equitable and economic ques tions arising from such disputes. it will also be found necessary to provide a longer time than thirty days specified in the act for the consideration of the sub ject and the rendering of a de cision. It may not be possible to prevent strikes or lockouts by requiring compulsory arbitration, but it is wise to consider wheth er an obligation should not be placed upon the employer and employee to advise the authori ties of the questions at issue be fore any lockouts or strikes can become effective, so that by due publication an# inquiry the gov ernment and the public may be fully informed of the extent of the controversy and its causes. Samuel Rea, President Pennsyl vania Railroad. THE BRAVE HEART. Whatever life shall brin g to me, That will I take most thank fully. Some bitter cups my lips must drain, Some days be dark with mist and rain. Life is not play, but battle long, And favors neither weak nor strong.
