As was suggested lu Thc Stato and other daily papeii Gov, Hoy ward bas been puzzled to know what to do with the cn forcement, of tho dispensary law in conn ties whloh have voted out the dispensary, At first his disposi tion waa to remove the constables and to trust to the people of the county to keep down tho Illicit sale of liquor. Complaints having como from Pick ens and Newberry counties, Chief Constable Ham mot was sout to those distrlcte to investigate. Upon his Showing that the ortlolals in Plokens admit that they do not try to onforoe the law, Gov.

At Newberry I conferred with a number of the most prominent people both for and against the dispensary, and from a careful review cf what was told me I km led to believe that tho looal otu dials and the belier eic mont of the oitlzens desire Hie en forcement of tho lav/, and aro en deavoring to oompel it in the city, but at thc same time I am forced to the conclusion that lt is being vio lated in certain parts of the county outside of the town, and I would re commend that constables bo placed lu theojuntywho.ro it is necessary tc prevent the trafilo In whiskey as long asi? may be deemed advisable. "From Newberry 1 went to Pick? ens, where I found ab ut tho sam conditions existing, wit h th J excep tion that I satisfied myself tbatllquot is being sold in tho towns as woli IM? in the country, Hero, too, 1 inter viewed a number of substantial and well posted citizens, allotting from them sufficient information to warrant the abovo opinion. 1 learn that the distillers arc again active, a;m that most of tito whiskey being used ls blockade.

Why Cotton Should b? Held fer Higher Prices. Au outolni Addrevs tu tho Farmers Fruin President IS. JD. Smith?* Utility Villi BrluR Suceevfi. The Southern Cotton association is an organization of, hy and for the people. It ls not for the few but for tho many, not for the farmer alone but for the merchant, professional man, mcohanio and laborer, for every ono who makes a living whore ootton grows. Tho cbjeots sought are manifold and far reaching; among thom ls the establishment of system beth in pro duction aud marketing? thereby oroat lng a condition conduolve of fair and rouumcrativo prions. To promote manufacturing where cotton grows, to the extout of our own people sell ing tho finished produot instead of sending two-thirds of our raw mater ial out of the oouutry. But thc lmed lato anxiety of the S. C. A. ls that cotton this year should bri 'g tho far It cents per pound, the price set by the association. That the farmers are not getting this prico is no pioof that tho asso olation and other organizations made a mistake In estimating the valuo of cotton, but it does prove that the as sociation is timely and the work lb was oreated to do ls an Imperative neoossity. Its weakness is apparent rather than real; Its 8U0O088 undor tho cir cumstances ls phenomenal. Without its powerful iuiluenoe ootton to-day would bo selling at as low a price aB at any time last year. Novor in the history of cotton hasten per cent sur P'IH blended with a succeeding crop without tho prico running low Lill the farmer had ?old out. Wc aro weak in proportion as business men and far mers arc uucnlisted in our common cause, and we will grow In strengt!) in proportion as tho people in cotton growing communities unite with us In defense of (.ur own rights and Interests. We have allowed conditions to ob tain that robbed 812 cotton OG unties annually of ?200,000,K)00 that rightly belonged to them, and the loss of twe con ts a pound this yoar means $100, (?00,000 gone forever, leaving empty stoic buildings and paralyzed business to that extent. There are reasons why tho farmerh are not getting ll cents. Tho farmcis always distinctly rc member tho experiences of tho year before, N ,w two ye.irs thc firmer sold on a ra'ling market and af lor oach sale he regretted that he did not hold his cot ion a little loi g jr, and resolved nut tt be caught that way again. SJ last year to profit by his late experience ho was disposed to get his cotton {.jin nod aud thou nob bc in a hurry to soil, Thou when tho statlsolcal oondttlor ; bowed au Immense surplus he wa; caught in thu awful avalanche uf fall lng prices; aud he don't yet ri;1.. /. that last year prices were gow! for t>t long a time, bioiply because ho was ; coiHcry.it).vc hu;tead of a pr?cipit?t* seller. Lto member lug tho good price; (hiving tho carly weeks last year uni tho trap that Crippled him, he resol vis to be tho carly bitcl, wit!) the r.j suit thal at this year a greater po: cent , of tho crop is already marketer, than i J any season of the past, ant thia blended with the shrunken h kele ton of last year's sui plus, in so shoi i a time forms a c mbinatlou ihai would break down any market, wh^i ever tho concomitant oonditloui might bo. Helping this condul a tho mer chant needs his mo coy ( i cl the far mer wants lo pay as soon as posslbh and willie tur bankers arc willing ti extend good pap; is and to grant fur cher accommodations, yet merchant and farmer alike have had so many hilt ir lessons that they hesitate t( drop a mi derate certainty for a pronal sing uncertainty. As things have always been, thh position of merchant aud farmer ii not unre if.ouable. Heretofore no concerted effort liv. obtained to make the owners 'a parts to the trade when our farm produoti arc to to priced. Heretofore no thoroughly organize work has boen done to get the .statis bical situation for thc farmor's usc ii lime to boi:cllt thc farming com munlty. Heretofore no interested organiza lion has been strong enough to In lluence market conditions to favor tht farmers In time to benefit him, Heretofore all has been unocrtali guess work, but this year the statis tical situation is well In hand. When tho Ursb hale this season look cd back over the past year, lt saw that 1:1,000,000 of its brothers had b*_cn laid up m thc shelf by thc fatal hand of eousumpli.n, lt looked to tht future and saw tho dlcase spreading In new and wider fields, through Japan. China, Russia and tho world, Including the survivors fewer than 11.000,000 would bc thrown out tc fail before tho dread destroyer who ls eager and anxious to consumo 2,000, 000 moro. Farmer, ls not $10 a halo worlii looking after? Merchant, ls not f>0 per cent In crease of business worth looking aftci ? Arc you not willing to h.dp carry thc. financial burdens of un organization that has done ;>o much for you and your own people? Aro you not will ing to help us carry on a greater work of usefulness in the futuie? To all our people let us nay wc are seriously In earnest; arc sure of oui promises, and eonlldontly urge all te stand linn for ll cent cotton. Merchant and ban Ker stand by the farmer: Farmer, refuse to take leas than ll cents; when you unite t< show the world you are In earnest, that you understand the situation, the market will quickly respond tc your demand, for tho spinners and speculators know the situation, ai d tiley know you could got 12 cents ll yo wore unitedly arouse tojdemand it. Oh!

Dan Sloouiv., the meiner of the Rang of feather renovators arrested for attempting to assault a Miss Pad? gott near Columbia recently, waived | preliminary befcro a magistrate, and Slocum was sont to j ill in default of ball, He hus employed no attorney so far. No evidence was given, and it 1? difficult to got at tho do tails of the allugod assault. lt appears from what ona bo learn ed of the affair that Slooum and three of his oompantons found Miss Padgett alone at lier fathor's home, and that Slocum grabbed her, when shosoream ed. Tho strangers vanished and the neighborhood was soon out searching for them but it was a sheriff's officer who oaiuht them. Slocum's pals aro being held as sus pects. They all claim to be working for tho National Renovator Company of Chicago, and cannot bo run in for vagrancy. But it is thought that some light might bo thrown on the sorles of hold ups tho olby bas witnessed the past few weeks by holding them. Tuesday night A. F. Fuuderburk, a well known furniture dealer, saw a well dressed white man standing uudor some trees near Trinity church, ap parently waiting for him as ho ap proached, i io culled to tho mau, who gave no answer. Ho asked a negro nearby for a re vol vor and tho man under the trees taking Hight Mr. Fuu derburk and tho negro gavo ohaso. In a ?hort time half a dozen polios officers had arrived, but the fug.tlvo had es caped through a vaoant lot. But this is not an unusual luoldout. Somo pro minent Columbians have been suv joc ked to this sort of thing almost ovory night for tho past throe weeks. There aro many wild stories going over the town about these hold-ups One ls that a few nights ago a well known Columbian being hold up shot tho hold up mau severely, and that the supposed thug has turned out to bo himself a prominent Columbian, and that his wounds are being oared for In secret, tho matter bal^g hushed 1 up on account of his name. Of course, there ls nothing tn the story but wind, 1 bub In the nature of it it will not down. Another, in which there is ju t about as much truth, carries tho mern 1 ory of graft and hold up. This story is to the ofTect that tho hold-up genius ' operating about Columbia has gotten hold of Digeneso and taken his lantern away from him the hold-up occuring in the shadow of the state dispensary walls.

Tho Explanation, of tho Hum m nry Oil uiUaal ol a Clerk. Tho biggest sensation in government service in Washington in year was the dismissal, without hearing or ohanoe of defence, ot Walter S. Blvldge, a messenger of the bureau of standards, which COmeS under tho department c! oom meroe and labor. No reason was assigned for the dis missal, but it ls now known that Elv ldgo is the man who was driving an automobile a few days ago In front of the carrlago of President Roosevelt and would not move out of the way to let tho carriage of tho president, by annoying tho president by the dint he threw bahind. As a result of tho act of Elvldgo, who was appointed from Minnesota, tho President Tuesday Issued an order conferring upon oabiuot officers and himself tho rlghr of instant dismissal, without notlco or nearing, of any em ployo of the government service ob served bo bo oonduotlng himself em properly or to ba Incflloient. It is sup posed that tho president Immediately gave orders to .Secretary Motoalf to have Elvldge dismissed, aud this was done Thursday. When seen on the subjcot Seorotary Metcalf declined to Kl vc tho reasons for the dismissal of Elvldge or to admit that ho was thc man who had kept In the way of the president. The notion of the d3part ment was accomplished with the great est kind of mystery. President Roosevelt himself, under civil servloo regulations, that exlstod until Tuesday, could not briner about tho dismissal of Elvldgo without tiling oharges agaist him and permitting Elvldge to tile a dofenoo, but under the new order Elvldgo was not allowed a dofeuoo. Tho statement of E v'.dgc Isthat ho did not know that ho was keeping In front of tho president's carrlago. He did not know whose oarrlago ho was In front of.' Ho remembers that some one (oe now understands lt was a sec ret service Ullaer) motlouod to him to get out of tho way, but that he did not pay any attention, beoause if ho had crossed to the obhor side of thc stroet ho would have violated District regulations and laws as to keeplug to one side of tho street, allowing tho other for vehicles coming from aD op p islte dlreotlon. On the other hand it is ohargei that E vfdgc persistently kept his automo bile in front of the presidential car riage doing so in a disagreeable and unfair way. \ . W. A.

Many young meu who marry and "settle down" and begin to pay rout will bo far better c lt In ten yeats if they begin purohasng property this year than ii thev emth us to pay rent. Many of them do nob stop long enough in their daily work to think of a pc sslble rainy day and ypars of old ngo, Outgo on spending tho fruit of their toll until thc time comes when tiley have to step down and out to make room for the young men of the futuro. Then comes tho old, old ques tion. They are nob prepared for an emergency of this kind, and they wish* that the y had bought when they were young and have a home of their own when tile the time of acquiring lt is passed. Ninety-nine times out of a hundred the property purchased in creases ID value. Why not liguo this out to your own satisfaction, make up your mind and starb at once to pre pare a home, Whore were you six, eight, ten, or liftcen years ago and what did you have. If you have paid rent all these years you have your rent receipts to show where your money has k'ouc, but where ls the homo you night l ave owned if ycu had been paying your money towards a home of yi ur own. What will you have them? Will it be a home of your own or a bundle of rent rcoclpbs. All real es bato has a value, and If purchased at this value the buyer oaunob possibly loi-o. Loi k around you, if you aro an old resident of this olby, you know about what certain pieces of property sold for ten or llfteen years ago. What arc they worth today ? We do not need to answer. In the history of the past you have many models, and all b^'ore you ls an almost absolute cer tatnty that real estate valurea will continua to rise, with tho increase of population and the natural demands for residential and business locations.

COLUMBIA, S. O. NI Corre?te Toddy.. The Columbia States takes rojaston fco correct Teddy as follows: "Mr. Roosevelt claims to be an historian, and lt is well known that ho ls also a lltcrator. He should, then, be more faithful to history and to literary tra dition then he shows himself In his mimicking of tho southerners who have Invltjd him to ride the best horso In the country, slr.' According to his tory-as written in New England and according to literary tradition as preserved In the same sacred region this must necessarily be tho best boss in the country, by Rad, suh." ? TnK son of ono of the life lusuranoe presidents claims that ho {worked twelve years for $1,060,267. Poor hoy he must have started from the bottom of tho ladder of ii nanoo and been shot up. WIIKN young men are willing to commence at tho foot of the huidot and ollmb up round by rcund, they most alwayssuooced, while when they try to got hold and start half way up thoy nearly always fall to tho bottom. IF you have <n mind anything that will holp tho bo vn to grow and pros por let lt be kn > .vu that thoso Inter ested in pmhir.u the town to the front may have tho benefit of your judgment In tho work they have had. A man In South Havon, Kansas, has a grelvance against an editor and consulted a lawyer to lind out the best way to break up the paper. The law yer told him tho surest way would be to buy tho papor and run lt himself for a faw months. A MAS-AOHUOKTTS papor says the newspaper is tho bible of many au Amorloan home. If this be true, tho mothers should bo careful to select tho right papers. Some of the red and blue scoro sheets aro a long ways from being blblcal tracts. Every onterpriso that benefits tho town benefits evory man in it. If your neighbor starts a now s?beme to help along, don't jump on it with both feet just bcoauso you did not hannan to think of lt first. Aid him to boost it. , It will help you too. THK Augusta Herald says: "Garo lina's graft is not confined to the dis ponsry alone, no matter how wicked folks would havo us believe it." That I is too true.
