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;

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. . .

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."

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

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.

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.

A Prospect For Yorkvlllt.
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.
