If we had a thousand dollars we r
would gladly give it to complete t

The liquor fight in Charleston 1
must be pretty hot when The News a
and Courier is too busy t<> compile 1:
figures showing how cool Char- t
leston is.. ? v
If Marion contains less than 1
900 square miles there will have ^
to be some reduction in the area s
of these large plantations we have ^
heard so much talk about.
t

That is a pretty mean son of t
dispensaryite who tries to make ,
Section 1. of the Prohibition Act,
say that "whiskev brought into ^
the state for personal use- is
seizable anywhere it is found."
This is coming up on the "blind ,
side" o!" the prohib'Zionists.
(
If the farmers of upper Marion <
- get an average of 12 cents for their :
cotton the country will be swim- i
m?ng in nioncy and there will be
a record-breaking business this i
fall. The prospect for a large !
vield of cotton was never britrht
er and the opening of the cotton
season will find the f&rmers and
merchants owing: less than they
have owed at the first of Sept:*niRjr
her in half a score of years. The i
Herald believes the country is i
emerging: front the most critical
period it has experienced since I
the panic of '93.
Every now and then one sees '
wnere a meeting: has l>cen called :
in some section to discuss the ?
question of good roads. It is well 1
enough to have these meetings '
but the question is do they ever 1
accomplish anything? It is a waste N
of time and money to hold meet 1
ings on any question unless they 1
are productive of some good to some
body or to some section. The time a
has rnmp for thf? nrnnlp to
upon some permanent and prac- v
tical mnhod of improving the *
highways and until this is done
there will never be any noticeable
improvement in tlx; condition of
the roads. The time is not far r
distant when the more progressive fi
counties will issue bonds for road >
improvement, and highways will q
be worked by salaried overseers b
just the same as railroads, but 1
why postpone taking this step when ?
there ifc no economy in delay? "
The easiest way to make cotton ^
bring the highest market price is ,
to auction it off and knock it down ^
to the highest bidder just lfke ^
tobacco is sold. If the price does
not suit the farmer he is not com- a
pelled to accept it and c*n store ^
his cotton in a warehouse and ^
keep it there until the market J
advances. The local buyers
should agree to meet at the cotton
platforms at certain hours T
during the day and there make
their bids on the cotton instead of
forcing the farmer to trot all over h
town and lose a whole day in the
effort to save a few points on
each bale. The farmers have a *
just complaint against the buyers d<
in that the buyer seldom offers his
"limit'' on the first bid, but bids ?<
under the"limit'' and then tells
the farmer to "go and see what t'
llr. Blank will offer." This ^
method of buying and selling
makes both bnyer and seller lose
a lot of valuable time. Then tfa
the farmer likes to market his
cotton at the place where he finds
the least trouble in disposing of
'
GUARDING TOWER TREASURE
The Tower of London has the
lost ixirfeet system of burglar
larms that has yet been dev'sed.
>o a Daily Mail representative
ras informed today when inquirng
into the cause of th*> sudden
niiricnnmonf irieit/irc fVw.
ay.
From Scotland Yard, from the
iovernor's headquarters, and
rom other places known only to
few responsible officials, the
. hole Tower can l>c closed eiectically
within a few seconds,
iven the ponderous pates at the
diddle Tower, which weigh some
uns, and through which visitors
:>ass, swing toautomomatically,
nd the escape of every one within
s instantly barred. At the same
ime an alarm bell rings to warn
trarders, police and soldiers.
In particular, the precautions
n the apartment containing the
>own jewels are of a most
cientifically elaborate kind. One
>r ether of the Beefeaters on dutv
n the room has merely to press a
mtton. whereupon the heavy do )i
doses, the alarm bell below rings
he other gates slam to and lock
ind every *>erson within the Towci
s instantly cut off from the outei
vorld.
"The man who can get aw a]
with any of the Crown jewels de
ierves them," observed a Towe
official. "From where I am stand
ing I could close every importati
Joor and gate in the Tower in a
short a time as it takes me to utte
these words."
It was mainly to insure the safe
ty of the Crown jewels that tin
system was installed.
No order was issued for the elos
jug of the Tower on Saturday
when, greatly to their alarm, tin
visitors found doors locked, bolte*
imci oarreu against them tor abou
Len minutes, preventin.tr any on'
leaving the Tower.
"The Tower simply closed?
that is all,"' remarked an official
'Who caused it to do so we do no
know. It might have been Scot
land Yard, where the pressing o
i button would imprison ever:
soul within the Tower until th<
police cave the signal for thei
elease. Or it might have beei
he Governor, anxious to lean
vhether we were all at our posts
\t any rate, it was none of thi
ninor officials.
"In fact, who closed the Towei
nd why is a secret known onlj
o the highest authorities. Then,
/as no alarm?no attempt to seize
he Crown jewels.''?London Mail.
Surprise Marriage.
Greatly to the surprise of their
ricnds Mr. C. C. Graham and
lis* Cora Cottingham were
uietly married at the home of
ride's parents Sunday evening,
"'he ceremony was witnessed
nly by the tamilv and a few inti
nate friends. The groom is a
opular salseman at the Stubhs
'o's and has been a resident of
)illon for a number of years,
laving moved here from Chester,
lis native home. The bride is a
aughter of Mr H. K. Cottingham
nd is a voung lady of many
races o: mind and jierson. The
lerald joins their numerous
riends in extending eongratulaions.
