Pickens "prohibition." '

"fie stated that liquor?block t
ado, liquor at that?was being <
openly sold on the streets, and a
anybody might purchase a drink <
at almost any street corner. A P
week ago today, he said, an illicit t
diatiller drove from one end of the e
town to the other dispensing e
whiskey fresh from a blockade f
distillery. j <i
"The gentleman stated that the 1 s
constables had been withdrawn, o
and the town authoritiea were a
powerless to stop the traffic. At ii
night, he stated, whiskey was on a
sale at. varioua places about the t
Ilium lllitl (llu nolllllu innii Kfli.i.. Ii

"{t is elated that Rome have n
even gone so far as to secure fi
United {States government licenso g
for retailing, which rusts $25, and i?
can be obtained by any pilifen ie- o
gardless of State laws." a
Jf the above statement has the it
color of truth about it, the pro'bi- si
bitioiiintH of Piokens have little v
over which to gloat. It appears b
to have beep pretty much a case I!
of "jumping lrom the fryingpan I

Military circles it) St. Petersburg
are snid to be startled by
the news, although t)iey were
nware of the fact thatsiucp Kojestvensky's
Heet was out of the way,
tljeie was nothing to prevent tjje
Japanese from landing whenever
they got ready. The news from
Manchuria shows nothing qf .eonsequence
as having occurred there.
President RooseyeP has taken
steps to have the beligerents sign
an armistice, but so far has not
been successful. It seems, however,
that this makes but little
difference, as there is not much
inoliuatiqn on the part of the
forces iu Manchuria to do any
heavy fighting. It may be, however,
that Oyama will endeavor to
cut off Vladivostock, by taking a

Lessons From tho Equitable.
When the Equitable insurance
squabble was begun many who
looked beneath the surface came
to the couclusiou that whatever
might have been the motives at
the beginning' which prompted
the officials who are waging war
3ti each other, says the Manufacturers'
Record, the real fight was
between Morgan and Harriinan I
For the control of the com nan v I
with itR enormous assets. No one
imagined that either Morgan or
tiarriman proposed to utilize these
insets in any but a legitimate way,
but how vast is the power which
the control of such a company
$ivos may be realized from the
fact that the $400,000,000 of assets
s equal to more than half the nnlioiial
hanking capital of the
United States. The purohase of a
ontrol of the company with Mr.
Llyan, and his close association
with Mr. Morgan, taken in connection
with other tilings bearing
mi the mutter, can only be interpreted
n Morgan victory, thus entitling
Mr. Morgan to add one
nore vast aggregation of wealth
to his entourage. With the Equit- j
ihle and the New York Life close- I
y affiliated with Morgan interests. I
aid with tho Mutual Life proba- I
)ly not unfriendly?in fact, the
report now being that the Mutual
Life is interested in the purchase
>f the Equiluble?the enormous
lower of $1,500,000,000 assets
iwned or controlled by these three
:otn panics is probably practically
missed for any active financial
Movement. This power is loo vast
!or safety and for the good of the
.oniitry. ,
It will be better in the long run
liiould the fight in and for the
Squitable cause the whole country ,
o seriously consider the question
if insurance. It seems hardly pos

Management. of thin property by
loople who have been bitterly ??h- i '
iniled for alleged illegnl acts will
>vercomo the criticisms which
lave been called out by the re- i
riminntions of tho officers and
lilectors, and if the final result
f all this trouble should lend to
i lessening of tho relative power
>f n few of the great insurance
ompnnies the country will he bet
er off for it. We believe that the i
normons drain of money from cv- 1
ry section into the treasury of a I
ew big insurance companies is a
I i h t i 11 < * I ilisad vantage. It has re '
lilted in too great a concentration <
f wealth and power, and at the 1
nm? time in loo grent a cost of nsnrance.
For years the South
ml the West have poured into <
lie Fast millions and tens of mil- 1
om- for insurance premiums. In >
lines past this may haw been I'
eoessnry, but now the South is ?
nanoially strong enough to or- ; i
ani-zc its own insurance compnii- . t
and it ought to finance many ' '

Tillman Talks Dispensary.
While the speech nf Senator
Tillman at Greenville on the 4th
ingtaftt was popimfbst disappointing
to those j^Iio had expected
he would take the atatqs of the
dispensary as a text fqr his remarks,
he has set himself straight
in the matter in reply to a request
from Mr. F. W. Higgineoa, of
Newberry.
Senator Tillman sticks to his
original text that the dispensary
system is the best way to handle
u?.. *!. n i:? it _
11411 vi mi uuuiii v^niuuut}. rj"
says, in subgtanee, that the system
is as near perfect as possible, but
the trouble has been in the management.
He admits that there
has been corrupt dealings in its
management; that the law as it
stands upon the statutes haq not
been faithfully and to the letter
carried out, that it is not the fault
of the py3tem, jbut of those who
hud the carrying out of the law in
their hands, and that it has grown
unpopular with the people from
this yery fact. He contends thai
the towns should not vote out the
dispensary, but instead, if the people
of the Ctate want to abolish
the dispensary, it should be left
to tho entire people-. lie does not
believe in putting the sale of whiskey
into the hands of the people
upon the high lioense principle,
for this would have the effect to
place the business ip the hands of
a few rich men, thereby creating a
monopoly, lie is not willing for
the people to monopolize the whiskey
business, but wants the State
to continue its monopoly. He insists
that tho system is all right
and should remain in the hands of
tho State; that good men can be
secured to carry out the law. Ho
Hays if the dispensary be abolished
by the people and any other system
of selling whiskey he contemplated,
he will 8tump?the State for
prohibition. He holds the legislature
responsible and hints that
what changes have been made has
done no good toward bettering the
management. Fie insistB that the
State should control tho s-le of
whiskey and that the sale should
1 .. 1- 1 :
nave mini resiriouous MR would
reduce the sale to a minimum of
necessity for its use rather than bb
n beverage and profit, ami that this
can be done under the dispensary
system and not otherwise, not
even by prohibition legislation.
The City of Odessa.
The city of Odessa, the scene
of the most startling developetnonts
in the growth of revolution
in the Czar's empire, is the most
important city and seaport, in Southern
Prussia and the fourth city
of the empiro in population. It
is situated in the goverment of
Kherson, on an elevation sloping
toward an inlet of the Hlaek Sea.
Tt lies about 32 miles northeast of
the mouth of the Dniester and 038
miles by rail southeast of .Moscow.
The general appearance and at- !
mosphere of Odessa are rather
European than Russian. The city i
was built during the nineteenth
century, and is. therefore the
youngest among the largo cities of
Russin. Tt is regularly laid out
around the bay, and has a number
of tine streets and squares, from
which magnificent views of the
sen are obtained. Tlu? most popular
boulevard is the Nikolayevsky
boulevard, from which a grand
stairway lends to the bay.
The Russians of Ofie6sn comprise
scarcely one-third of the inhabitants
of the city, about 150,000
of the residents being .Tews and
the reitiAihdtsr Greeks, Armenians,
