MARCH 12, 1902. Various manufacturing enterpriees in South Carolina have been very much annoyed of late by a habit the railroads have of confiscating shipments of coal while en route. In cases where the factories have been on the point of shutting down with coal on the1 road, the railroads have seized the coal and coolly ndviaed the owners that they would make it good later i on. The legislature has sought In \ put a stop to this sort of thing by j passing the following: "If any 1 common carrier shall convert and j appropriate to its own use any property of nnother held hv it on consignment, or in course of transportation, it hIihII be liable to the consignee or other owner of such property, for treble the value of such property.1' * * * The bill to classify the rural free delivery service and place the carriers under the contract system, which has been debated in the House for over a week, was passed Monday, but in a form that, completely changed the purpose for which it was framed. Before it I was passed the bill was altered radically by its opponents. All the provisions relating to the plae inn ol carriers under tin* contract system wore stricken out and the Hillary system was not only eon. tinned, but the tnaxiniuni salary of carriers was increased from $500 to $600 per annum. The uinendrneuiB to tin the salnt^es of rural carriers at $600. was offered by Mr. Swan son, of Virginia, and udopted without division. The third change in the cabinet of President Roosevelt ocoured Monday, when Secretary Long submitted his resignation in a graceful letter, it being accepted in one equally felicitious by the President. The change was made complete by the selection of Representative Wnr Henry Moody, of $he sixth congressional district of i Maasachusetts hs Mr. Long's successor in the Navy Department, Mr. Moody will assume charge of the Navy Department on Man 1 Mr. Long will re-outer tho practice of law. ' + + + The United States Senate has a job on its hands with two senators too bad to go unpunished while no punishment is provided for but expulsion and doughty little South Carolina would be most apt to slap the senate right back in the face and send Benjamin right back if he were expelled. The senate would most probably he too glad to he helped to let the situation 140. Later we see that the president of the senate must scold them a little.?Concord Stardard. We don't think any considerable number of Americans believe with Senator Pettua, thatj a military guard should be provided for the protection of the President, Military guards are provided for the protection of the head of every Kuropean nation, hut they have not prevented numerous assassinations. A military guard would add nothing to the safety of the President. TIia Pliinoau <>f ?t>rt .... - - -f MV illU |iM?Yil|tr 111 | Kwnng Hi have resumed tin* game of missionary-clinging, which was ho popular with them during the Boxer uprising. Of course, the game is Hcconipunieil hy a rebellion. That lets the responsible authorities out, Those contemplating n European trip will be deeply interested in the reported break in the steam, ship combine, and threatened rate ' war, but they are afraid to about until there is more convincing evi- 1 deuce of the break in sight. Colombia's attempt to get a big slice of the price naked for the ' Panama Canal Oompuiy's concession may be a good thing for this country, although there wasn't much danger that Uncle Sam would be caught by the speculators. * * * Advance notices of the experience of M'ss Stone in captivity are now appearing, but the real thing will be told by the lady bersolf, from the lecture rostrum, at so much per tell.

A Nebraska editor stated that nj cer aiu girl's breast was tilled with ! rape uud the printer got it rags, j aiul now the editor in camping out on a rise northwest of the town where he can get a good view ol the landscape from four directions. | + + + A decision of Judge A. C. j Thotnn.-ion. of the 1*. S. court. holds in effect that speculating in | stocks, grain, etc., is just in much [ gambling when done in a hoard of trade as when done in a "bucket shop." That's right, too m m Officials in the Philippines de- ; elated that the 25 per cent cut in j duties made l>y the Philippine; tariff hill, now in the hands of the President, vvns not sufficient, hut Congre.-s was not moved by the : decterutiou. m m Reform ran be easily overdone. J For instance, the prating from ' London about King Edward insisting upon having everything Willi tlie slightest tendency to. | whi'iI immorality cut out the plays | In* goes to see. Every man in the State of South Carolina should consider himself ; a rommitee of one to convince the 1 President that lie would lie as safe > at the Charleston Exposition as in the White House. + + + The example of ex-Gov. Hogg, of Texas, in refusing to make a | monkey of himself by putting on | a court costume to see King Ed- I ward, is worthy of being followed | by other American gentleman. r + + While tin1 Potomac was flooding Washington some of the water should have been utilized to wash the spots olT the mantle of Sena-! torial dignity. ? ? * The Senate, having passed the! Irragation bill, is now wrestling with the Ship subsidy bill, which | it won't pass unanimously, if it passes it anyway. * * * The wholesale price of whiskey was cut one cent a gallon the other day, but no cut price sale lias been advertised by any of our retail d sp.-users. # * * , , Johnstown people are excusable for gel ting excited. A Hooded child dreads the water quite as : much hh 11 burnt child does the fire. ? * # The fihip subsidy bill is now the regular order of business in the Senate, but the Fanner's sub- j sidy bill is still unheard of. ? ?
