The War. Another week rolls around and still no change, so fnr as apparent to the world at large, in the jrar neyowt the reports of slight skirmishes in the neighborhood of Gunshu'Paaa, nothing has transpired to mar the planH of Oyama in his alow move upon Vladivostok. The Japanese cavalry has been considerably stlengthened and Oyaina's forces are said to be better than ever prepared for the fight that is song expected. On the aes there aeema to he a similar absence of developments, though positive ovidence during the week that Rojestveneky and Nebogatoff had joined forces and a later dispatch reports that the Russian fleet was sighted May 14 th sailing northward from Kamranh bay. Ttio objective point in the case of the Russian fleet, as of the Japanese land forces, seems to be Vladivostock, Naval critics nve disposed to give * Roiestvenskv i much credit for. tliP way he has handled his owtf fiect and for the junction with .NebogatotT, and nre frank in expressing 'ho belief that he will give a good account of himself should the long expeoted pen fight occur.?Charlotte Observer pf Monday. "!i Tba Dispensary Doomed?" To the (>f the subject h? News tfiul^^wrier of the loth 1 devotes a column of its valuable Hpaee. 'i It foretell? the downfall of the , dispensary in Pickens county, and places Spartanburg and Union in the list of those counties which will in the near fplure follow the , wake of Cherokee. It cites the | fact that for the paltry amps of I pome ten thousand dollars profit ; to the counties snd towns nnunnl- ' )y, hundreds of thonsands of the peoples money must be spent. Gianting til this, with the Wil* ! pen net still in force, and with the habit fixed ou a large ppr 4 cexn of our people, does prohibition or hitch license bold out nny resent e prospect? The three counties cited in the article: Pickens. SDartanbur? and Union, are nil withiri easy raach of the north Carolina line, and nnijuestionably spend their hundred thousand a year each, with the difference that the profits theri>H wiil go'to fatten a debased and degraded blind tinpr element instead of reverting to the taxpayer. It is pot surprising if Pickens county should vote opt the dispensary when one considers that it hps taxed the yigilence of the State and United States authorities to keep down iliioit distilling in that county. A very small number of well meaning, but misguided prohibitionists, linked arips with the natural enemies of the dispensary would'easily make a majority vote. From n financial stand point the State will undoubtedly profit by Pickens county voting prohibition. There is authentic information to the effect that the present cost of suppressing illicit traffic in whiskey in Pickens very much exceeds the Stale's profit on sules in that county. The article places Charleston and Columbia alone in the list of counties which would not vote out the dispensary. At the outset, the writer will at least be naked to excuse Abbeville and there are perhaps others. It is most likely that Charleston and Columbia would decline to vote out the dispensary, but it is for decidedly divergent reasons the people of Columbia are honestly trying to enforce the IhH', and with the effort has oome the realization that after all, the dispensary system is nearer in accord with actual public opinion than either prohibition or higher license. Our people do dot want all .nigiit haifl and 11 wiHrt wlui will liotiajuilv foi'o the fact must acknowledge tlmt we cannot have actual proltibiton. Conditions must be met qh they are not as we would have them to be. If nil our people, or even a majority were prohibitionists in fact as well as in name, it would be immeterial what liuqor lovers we had. or whether we hud any at all or not. Now hb to. Charleston. The time has bebn when Charleston would have voted out the dispensary by a vote of something like five to one Thut was when nu effort was being made to enforce the dispensary law in that city. Hut the people of the state, and the offieiuls have grown tired of undertaking to uphold the law in the face of overwhelming public opinion in favor of frpe liquor. Like Ephriam of old, she has been given over to her idols. It must be acknowledged that in this one respect she has proven herself larger than the State. Dispensaries languish there at the lo.-s to the Htate, or die, of inanition. while tigers with fattened, bloated but wide open eyos. thrive in every section.?Press and Bunuer. Cotton Bags Displacing Jute. The idea of a more general utilization of cotton bags instead of jute is growing in interest throughout the South. A few days ago the ltoyal Dag and Yarn factory, of Clmilestou, received a lurge or der for cotton bugs from the Orange liico Mill company, of Orange, IVxib, that mill having determined to qse cotton instead of jute bags. Besides thin order the Charleston mill has lately repeived peverul other orders of a like nature, and aw a result of the increased demand for the eqtton hugging, the nidi iu putting hi ad ditional machinery and erecting more houses for its operatives. The more general use of cotton bagging nutans much to the tanners of the south, for it will create a greater demand and better price for the staple. ? J42TTBR ri O S L. M EACH AM FORT MILIj, S.C.

' The net loss to the government < of operating the rural mail routes ' of the United States in the fiscal ' year ending June iU>, 1905, will he not less than $8,800,000, and prob- 1 ably several millions in excess of that amount. The minimum esti mate4>f loss is cibtnined after allowing to the credit of the rural 1 service every cent of revenue de- I jived from ni^il sent by patrons of ( the routes anil front n>nj 1 received 11 by them, but ao a matter pf fact, only a part of these receipts nre due to the establishment of the rural service. It is impossible to tell what pro- i portion of the mail business should ( ?>e credited to the establishment of i the rural service, but it is estimnt- I ed by competent authorities that < the real loss for the fiscal year will | be nearer $12,000,000 than $800,800,000.

I \ Mpre About Mr. (feds*. : The editor of the News and Cou* rier Iihh received and published a letter from a notable author and writer of New York, which has the following to say of Mr. Ogden, the northern educator: "If you had heard Mr. Ogden introduce a negro to a Northern iiulieuce. or eae him put his arms ibout this negro and walk through bis store hugging him bofore his hundreds of clerks, yon might have said something even more interesting about his fitnesB to be i teacher of tne South. The South lias a mission to teach t:<e North mid the werld ot? the negro question. Mr. Ogden is a negro worshipper pure and simple. His interest in the poor white man is merely a means to an end. I am not quite ready for an attack on this utternpt to pauperize the educational system of the South in the interest of negro equality, but [ intond to do it before long. OgJen's introduction of Booker T. Washington in Cooper Union last year was the most loathsome and Jisgusting worship of a negro I aver witnessed on this earth. Every lime tins negro comes to New York Ogdon pnts his arms around liitn and leads him through his store, exhibiting his worship to the live hundred women of the white race whom he employs. It's enough to make a dog sick when I think. of such a man daring to teach the South, and see how many gudgeons gape and bite at the gold bait." A Pleasant Reception.
