Register Next Tuesday. . * T * r\ f flin II UCIIUUVrn V 'Vl J Vvinm.u v? town, who is not registered," to meet the county board of registration next Tuesday nnd obtain a certificate. The board comee a4 round once every two years and those who fail to meet them Tuesday will either bo compelled to bear the expense of a trip to the county seat or be deprived of the right to take part in any town election for the next two years. That at least one election, in which every citizen of the town should participate, will take place during the coming year, namely: "Dispensary" or "No Dispensary," we feel confident. Our reason for believing this is that with the introduction of a dispensary or prohibition system in. Charlotte, and the indi cations at present are very favorable to the establishment of one of the two, the present convenience which oar people enjoy >*& obtaining whiskey Titf be grfeatly lessened, prioes will probably OHnW advance, and conditions arise such HbH as to cause those of our people HH who.ji8t> whiskey to look elsewhere |^H9 fjc their supplies. Situated as Fort ill is. the nearest dispensnry being at Yorkville, it is very nat oral to aupposo that, should Chnrlotte cut out the sale of liquor, the question of whether wo shall establish a* dispensary will be launched* Not only does the probability of this election furnish suf ficient reason why every citizen should be registered, ' but other questions of importance to all are 'likely to come up and every man should be in position to exeroises his right when the time comes. Joe a citizen; come out ana register, and let's vote in the next elec tion; RexpiOifully Referred to Counoll. , ^ ^ f' Several citizens are vigorously kicking over the failure of the ofK'cials to enforce the dog license ordinance and that relatiug to the isale of merchandise on Sundays. iThat there is room for complaint as to the dog license is not to be doubted. Numbers of dogs upon whioh the tax has not been paid are allowed to roam over the streets i'ust as those upon which the tax as been paid and it is nothing short of an imposition that some of our people should bo thus taxed, while others are allowed to escape. As to the sale of merchandise on the Sabbath,we are informed that the ordinance is being openly violated each Sunduy, though the violators have thus far escaped punishment at the hands of the officials. Another matter to which .we have been asked to call the attention of the council is the resolution adopted by the board of health some time ago, prohibiting placing hog pens within certain distances ci dwelling houses and streets. .This ruling, like that of .the tax aad sale ordinances, is be: * J u_ ... .* ii.. : mg ignoreu wy many 01 cue residents. ndd the officials, it is charged, .are making no efforts to have it enforced. /And still another matter which demands the attention of the council is the condition of .Spratt street near the : WhiteSprings ginnery-. The patotneut is in. very bad condition since the laiuB of the pant few days and the immediate services of the street ^ force.is mnch needed. Other States are now following Wotttb Carolina in the immigration business. In North Carolina the SeaJboapd has mnde an arrangement in the eastern part of the State for 6,000 acres of land. The owners of the land will ditch it and lay it off in smajl tracts containing from 4eA to forty acres. The. Seabord will populate this tract with desirable j mm igrants, and it is esti mated \ Jtlmt the tract will support about two hundred families. . . RSw'&VVif V ' y^T?JES|L ' > M > < ' 1 1 k &2I Following is the latest summary of the way delegates elected to; the Democratic national convention fttaud: Parker, 217; Hearst 143; jCHney, 32;. Wall, 26; Gray, 6; uninstructed, m. Whether ex-senafor John L. Mo Lnuritt can ever be elected to Democratic otfiee- by the voters of South Carolina is very doubtful but it is said that he is seriously considering the situation in the Sixth district with a view of entering the raco for congress. A man with the political reputation which Mr. McLaurin established in the senate must be possessed with unlimited nerve to ask his people to again send him to the National Capitol. Mr. Mc. had best send out a few ''feelers'* before formally auriouncing himself. ? The cigsre.tte Bond is steadily falling to th & rear-in the matter of obtaiuing positions of honor and trust. In a recent issue of the Rock II ikl Herald the announcement was ruade that the directors of the National Union Bank had resolved to refuse to emulov anv person who should indulge the j habit of emokiug cignrottee. Tiiis stop of the Rock Hill bunk is a j most commendable' one and the youth of tho country would be far better off if other institutions, would adopt like measures. * The now nrtny law has gone into effect, requiring the statep^o purchase overcoats for the entire mil itia before troops were considered equipped for the field and ready to goon encampment. Gen. Frost wrote to the war department set ting forth his objection to the overcoat clause o:j account of the warm climate and the small appropriation in South Carolina. After due consideration the war department has sustained his objection and has written to him that this State will be excused from complying with the demands. Rural Carrier's Salaries. Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow has announced that the salaries of the rural free delivery carriers will bo adjusted on the basis of the number of mil^R f ritv??l??rl Furtlmr tlinn tlnu Mr. liristow would not discuss the adjustment, which is now being nuide in the classification of the carriers. The postmasters throughout the country will be notified to the adjustments in the respective offices. The following statement regarding the outside business privileges of the rural carrier was issued at the postotfice department Wednesday, aud the order will be promulgated at once by the postmaster general. "Under the law rural carriers are not permitted to solicit busi ness or receive orders of any kind from any person, firm, or corporation, and cannot during the hours of their employment, carry any merchandise for hire except that they may carry merchandise for hire for and at the request of patrons residing on their respective routes, provided the same shall not interfere with the proper discharge of their official duties, and under such regulations as the postmaster general may prescribe. "Under this provision of law no mailable matter may be bandied by rural carriers while serving their routes, unless the proper postage has been prepaid, with the single exception of county newspapers, which, under the law, nre permitted to be carried free throughout the oounty in which they are published, to actunl subscribers, and such newspapers, residents on ru ral routes, must be deposited at the poatoffice, the same as papers for other Bubs^ribeis, "The hire for merchandise carried on request of the patron of rural free delivery must, be permitted to receivo any compensation from the seller of such merchandise. "Articles or packages which nre mailable, which are handed to the carrier or deposited in the post omce or in a rural letter dox or in a collection box located on a rural route, with request that the rural carrier deliver same, arc subject to the rules regulating mail matter, inoluding the payment of postage thereon. "Articles or packages that are not mailable, which the patrons desire the rural carrier to carry, must bo delivered to the carrier in persoii, and in carrying merchandise for hire rural carriers are riot permitted to leave their routes as officially laid out or to accept anything that will in any way delay the delivery of the mail or . in any way i interfere with the efficiency of the service." Card of Thanks. I desire to express my heart-felt gratitude to the good people of Fort Mill for their many kindnesses to me daring my recent distress? And especially do I desire to thank the members of the W. O./W. lodge for their generous contribution of s few days ago. Mrs. J.

Ml : 7.000 Hustons Slain A despatch from New Cheng, dated Monday, says that a Russian office* who was wounded in the battle at Vafaugow, lp/th inst, told the Associated Preria conespondsnt that the losses on both aides were severe. Ke placed the Russian casualties at at least 7.000. lie says 110 soldiers in the world could withstand, the Japanese r?s they have been lighting lately. Their artillery fire, ho claims, is marvelo'jsly effective. The Russians t'ought stubbornly but wore unable to wit!Stand the enemy's dashing persistency. Several hundred wounded Russians have been sent north owing to a lack of hospitals and surgeons. All the available transportation has to be used for supplies at the expense of the sick and wounded. The Japanese buried most of the Russian dead after the battle. It is estimated on information obtainable that the Japanese force moving northward is 70,000 strong with 00,000 men in the aggregate engaged in the operations at Port Arthur. Several Japanese spies have recently been captured a few miles south of New Chwang. The Russians are becoming more vigil?lnt mill ore ncr iirtTOtinimiiv messages closely. Uncle Sam's Farm Land. When Uncle Sam gets through with his land lotteries the coming summer, new pin pa will have to he made of eevernl States, while the farm value of the country will be shoved up several notches. Four Indian reservations are to be opened, the Government, having made more or Ipsa satisfactory arrangements with the red men. In Montana, some 1,100,000 acres will be thrown open. For this pri/.e winners must pay $125 an ucre, and are limited to 040 acres. In North Dakota, 101,410 acres at $5 per acre. The lied Lake Reservation, in Minnesota, to bo thrown open, contains 400,000 acres of land. The most of the land in these reservations is said to be rich and fertile, and worth several times the price that the Government will demand. In fact, when time enough has elapsed to make the passing of titles possible, farm Holders cau and will sell out at a fine profit. 4#^ Money for Summer School. Sta*e Superintendent of ETcTuoation Martin a few days ago received from the Pea body fund a cheok for a $1,000 which will be used for the State summer school at Roek Hill. This money has been on hand for some time along with the other funds and will make the total about $0,000. The State appropriated $5,000 for the county summer schools and made a special appropriation of $1,000 in addition. The state board also appropriated about $2,000 which income is derived from escheated estates. Pleasant Valley Items. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Merritte, of Rook Hill, visited at Mr. S. L.

At present the more important cases from .

The people of Charlotte will vote on the liquor question on July 5, and will determine whether the city shall have saloons as at present, a dispensary or tatal prohibition. "It is safe to say," the Waxhaw Enterprise declares, "that most of the church people will vote for liquor in one form or other, and that Charlotte is in no danger whatever of going dry." "This is absolutely cruel," says the Charlotte Observer. If total prohibition should prevail at the election in Charlotte it would be practicable for the dispensaries on the South Carolina side of the line to supply whatever beverages the thjrsty Mecklenburg people want. -^Charleston News and Courier. , --v. .
