The rumors have hail it that both
aides were gettiug ready to ui-ike
known their terms, and it was even
stated toward the latter part of the
week that Japan had made some
kind of a pence offer through
United ?tates oflieials. This, howover.
is Btrongly denied by the
Tokio government. To sum up
the entire peace talk, it appears
that there is little in it so far as
any likelihood of immediate result
is concerned. Tlia( Japan is prepared
to continue the contest for
at least another y^a?- seems certain,
and Russia will endeavor to hold
her own as long as possible, unless
she aeea some' good way to save
h"r face in the meantime. Russia's
p.'estige as a fighting nation is
practically gone even now, her
name in connection with warfare
does not have the same harsh sound
that it possessed prior to the out
break of the present struggle, but
there is yet a good deal of difference
between haying her soldiers
whipped on the field and haying
to ask for peace, or even accept
iue ieuns of an apparently magnanimous
foe. The situation can
hardly become much worse for

doubtless rather have history
record the fact that Japan overcame
Russia after two years or

Liquor Soiling In South Caroilm
?_
Iiiquor selling is a monopoly of
the State in South Carolina. Anybody
ran get whiskey who wants
it. The State supplies dispensaries
anywhere, and they are freely
patronized. When the system was
started it was said it would be a
temperance measure to limit salef.
but the sales, which began with
two or three hundred thousand
dollars, have grown to $3,374,7(>3
Inst year, with a net protit to the 1
State of $(>03,998, of which sum '
$304,339 was paid over to the'
school fund. Public vice was found
an easy and profitable way to support
public education. The move I
liquor sold the more money for
schools, etc.: so that lie is the beat
agent who develops the most trade.
It is a bad business, but the hoard
of control report themselves '"very.
much gratified to report that the
business of the dispensary has
been conducted with harmony and
success in all ith departments.''

that it was their Intention to stick
by the pledge umde.
Beyond a mere organization the
convention did little at the mornsession,
but it yna plain that

McLaurin, in whiph the facts lie.
cessitatfng a smaller cotton production

out, made a deep impression on
the audience, and that the ac.tion
taken was meant lor a guide for
every farmer in the south.
Hon. E. D. Smith, of Sumter
county, who was made chairman
of the organization last fall, was
elected permanent chairman and
president of thd South Carolina
Cotton Grower's Association.
In accepting tin? office, Mr.1
Stpijth made u strong appeal to the
farmers to stand iirm. Tiie law of
supply and doinaud confronted
the South and there wus too much
cotton now being made. In his
travels lie hud not met a farmer
who was not willing to do his part
to bring ubout the desired result. !
' Farmers'
Meeting Saturday.
A meeting of tin1 farmers of the
township was held in the town hall
j Saturday, chairman T. S. Kirk-;
j patrick presiding. The meeting.
, whjch was well attended, listened
attentively to the report of Hon.
S. II. KppH, Sr.. of the proceedings
of the Slate convention on the 21st,
to which he had been elected a
delegate from this township at the j
county convention at Yorkville.
Mr. W. If. Wiiulle also inude a j
report of his attendance upon the J
county convention, he being one j
the three delegates from Fort Mill j
to sail! convention. Upyn motion
it wns decided that the organization

to Columbia. The subject of reduction
in acreage and fertilizer
was next taken up. The report
which had been made by the committee
ut township canvassers
showed a reduction of only lb per
cent ill acreage, while it was desired
that a 25 per cent reduction
he made. With this end in view
it was decided that a committee

W. H. Wi tulip, V. 1}. Rlankenship,
J. II. Sutton and 1). G. Kimbrell

Compuliiry Vaccination.
The supreme court of tin* I'nited
States has, according to The State,
rendered a decision in regard to
the compulsory vaccination law of
Massachusetts which is of interest,
generaIly and especially in South
Carolina, where this is a very live
subject.
n Heems mai ilie Massachusetts

that which our own general assembly
recently passed, giving (o
hoards of health of towns and
cities alio authority to impose vaccination
regulations. Tue constitutionality
of this statute was contested.

case being represented by George
Fred Williams, the noted Demociat
and fcllowor of Bryan. The
case was taken to the supreme
court of the land, the arguments
before that tribunal being made
last December. Mr. Williams
hehl that the compulsory laws
wore a violation of the federal constitution.
In the State courts lie
was defeated, and the lTnited
States supreme court has now sustained
the lower tribunals.

Russia.
Senator Cockiell of Mo. whose
30 years expires March 4, has been
receiving extensive notice from
the magazine writers. It is something
to bo proud of to have served
i in the Senate for so long a time
and to be free from every suspicion

Oklahoma and Ind. T., begin to
realize that so many grafting
measures are pressing before congress
at every session, that it is
difficult to get a meritorious thing
[ like a statehood bill before said
congress until about adjournment
day, and then it is too late.
Russia is hoping that the
powers will bring pressure to bear
on herself and Japa * for peace,
but wants Japan to accept real
estate in lieu of cash, .\ i a war ini
