The popular sp'iug styles with
the Indies are expressed thus: $ $
Chicago now proposes to fit rl
out whether the street railways belong
to the city or the city belongs
to the street railways.

Mr Carnegie's statement that he
never said he desired to die poor
shows that he is not so different
from the rest of hp, after all.
The creation of vast private for
tunes out of monopolization of I In.*
public uldities will soon he ended.
The public is becoming "wiso."
The talk about it being impossible
to keep saloons closed on Sunday
must be ignored hereafter. It
I.as been done at Kansas City.
The .Taps are said to ho small
because they use no chairs. The
haven't been letting the llussiaiis ;
rise any either, for some tune pant, i
!
The beef trust -has pushed the
price of meat up again. It proba- '
hly needs the money to replace,
those trunks and books confiscated
by the grand jury.
About 400 indictments have
beet: returned against the Stand- !
mmI Oil Company at Frank fort,1
Ky., thus putting the oil trust in
the Geo. \V. lloaveis class.
Washington has the advantage |
over most oi ttio cities. After
congress mid tlio legislature adjourn
it is not pestered by u row i
in the city council.
* It must he n cpioer method <*?f'
reasoning which loads some of the
church workers to insist llint a bad :
man like Mr. Rockefeller shall not
be uilowed to do good.
-%%
Lalin-America i republics that
are a little out of sorts are invited
to s ep up and take a dose of the
"Monroe Doctrine"- the urea test I
spring tonic on the market.
Mr. Rn isev.dt, ol course, lost no
time in wiring warm congratolations
to the newly eleeted mayor
of Chicago, who is a I >emocrat and
n socialist, but the father of thirteen
children.
The Congregational ists lmvede- |
cirled to h? l I on to Mr. Rockefol- ;
let's $100.01)0 gift of * tainted" |
money. We are not quite sure it
was on the ground that they needed
it. or that all money is "filthy
lucre."
A Kansas City get rich-quick
concern failed, but thoughtfully
posted this sign on their closed |
doom, "Good bye. Suckers, Goodbye."
It is a great pity the ''Muckers"
didn't know what they were
earlier in the game.

The War.
Tlie opposing squadrons of Rusrin
and Japan are at ill in the China
Sea, but bo far as known no pi.gageiuent
lias yet taken place.
Admiral Roje.-stveriHky is apparently
staking all that Russia posseBHe*
on the present venture, and if he
should win. Japan would be shorn
of inhch of her ureal advantage, if
she did not in fact lose it all. The
squadron under Admiral Togo is
short one or two battleships by
comparison** with the force of
Rojestvetisky, and there is that
clement of uncertainty' uhout the
result of an enLTHirenient when it
I drn-B come that ia -calculated to
make the friends t?f the dnpsn little
nnensv. If Japan's fleet should
be destroyed and she lose comtumid
of the soh. it is lilcvly that
her army won hi bo forced out of
Manchuria and the tide hinted in
Russia's favor. This is bierely n
a possibility, and what race-track
habitues would term a "lone shot."
hiit it is perhaps all that Russia can
do, and she is apparently playing
thn last hand with desperation. It
is hardly conceivable t hat Admiral
Togo wortld permit his ships to be
destroyed when they are so greatly
needed, and the situation uiay not
be as serious as it. appears, but
I when the engagement occurs, as'it
seems likely that it will in a short
time, it will doubtless be to the
finish.
The reports from Vladivoslock
are to the effect that the Russians
Hre preparing for a prolonged
seige, arid the Japanese are said
to be determined to place an army
of a million men in the field in
Manchuria by no>:t fall. There is
a continuation of desultory fighting
in Manchuria, but it is of apparently
little consequence, the
armies seemingly awaiting the result
of the naval operations.
The matter of bringing about
peace has received but little attention
during the past week, all parties
doubtless awaiting developments
in the China Sea. As hearing
on the latter situation it is interesting
to note t lint French
naval cvitics think Kojestvonsky
will lose. Their sympathies are
naturally with him, but they do
believe ho can win.?Charlotte

| W. Q. BaHes Shoots Kit Cousin.
A Fort Mill special of the 141 h
to Tlie State gives the following
account of a shooting affray which
j took place in this township Tues- i
I day of last week:
"W. O. Jiailes, lho ex-notary
i public whose marriage luirenu in
' the northern part of this township
| received considerable notice ift the j
: press some months ago and whose |
I commission was snbseooently ro-|
I I. i I r\ : : i i"* i,l
I \ukuu uy uovernor neywuru on
' 11)6 complaint of citizens here, was
j yesteiday arrested at his home itiid
! brotight before Magistrate J. AV.
I McEllianey on the charge of i*?{
Biiult nnd bottory with intent to
' kill on' the pet sou of his cousin.
Edward Bailor, 25 yours old hiuI n j
>.>11 of J. \V. Bailee, W. (). Bailee
J waived preliminary nnd wns bound
I over to the court of general ses!
hfociR. the amount of his bond be,
ing lixed nt $509, which was given.
'Tito difficulty seotns to ,have
arised over the charge that W. O.
1 Bailee luul mistreated tho woman
! to w hom he is said to have been i
' mnrried by Notary Public .lohn
; Elms of this place some mouths !
ago. The woman is the sister of
Edward B.;i!es and the daughter j
of ?J. W. Bailes. A few days ago
the brother and father of the wo- |
1 man went to the homo of W. O. !
Bailee to expostulate with him
over the alleged mistreatment of
the sister and daughter. A difficulty
arose over the mat lor which resulted
in \V. O. Bailee shooting
Ed Bailes in the stomach with a
1 revolver. The wound is not considered
serious and tho young man
will probably bo about as usual in
a few days. At present ho is con
i lined to his room at the home of
hi3 father, live miles from town.
' There seems to be nno her side ,
'to thip family row which will
doubtless bo thoroughly von lib'ted j
when the case is called for trial.
The woman to whom \V. O. Bailes
was secretly married by Notary
Elms about a your ago is the wife
I of James Llollomaii, whom she cle- !
sorted in Charlotte several months
| ago and returned to this township,
making her home at tho house of
I her cousin, AV. (). Bailes, where
! she had since lived. Thero is tu>
record of the woman Ifaving been
divorced from her husband, who,
it is understood, cull lives in
Charlotte." *
