WASHINGTON, January 29.-Presiden Clevelangp transmitted to congress yes trday it special nessage on the finan cial question urging the immediate ac tion of congress, and on lines specified In the opening paragraph the presi dont says: In ny Inst annual message, I recotnmaende4 to the serious consideratiotn o" .ho congress thi condition of our natlonal ianances, and in con nection with the subject indorsed the plan o currency legislantion wlhch, at tinat, tno, scom ed to furnish proteetin against inpendini danger.

In am now convinced that its rejection b3 congress and our preseant dVtnaCed stage o financial perplexity, necessitates additional o different legislation. Lack of Conildonce the Trouble.

InI a lack of confidenee. widespread and con s',antly incrensiag. inl t ha- comi inuing ability oi dispositlon of tihe goreraanment to pay its obli gations in gold. This lack of confidence growk to sOmnc extent out of the ipable and apua rent eibarrassmna-at attenading tine efforts of the goverrancnt under existing laws to pro curo gold and to a greater extent out of the impossibility of eitlhcr, keeping it in the treas ury or cancellinag oboli':tions by its expendi tures after t is obtainail. The only way left ope, to the government for procuring gold is by the Issue and sale of bonds. An adequate gold re:erve is, In adl circum stances, absolutely essential to the upholdir of our public credit. and to the maintenee of our high ntiontal character. Otar gold roserve has renaecd suclh a sta:te of dianinution as to require Its specly enfore'nent. After giving sta ti-ties of the money now in the treasuiry, not in gold, "therefore, does not meet ouir difficul ty," tine pn'esident says that silver is not the Issue, and ad ds: Whatever ideas na1y bne insisted upon aQs t silveor a'bhntanlm, the proper solution of th quostiont now p;ressitng upon uts only re uiros 11 recognition of gdid ams ell as silver and a con. cession of its Importance. rightfully or wrong fully acquired, as' basi of national credit, I ntecessity of atn ionorahtle discharge of our ob ligations payable In gol anad a badge of sol ventcy.

THROUGH A WRIT OF ERROR. Dispensary Law May be Brought iiefore the Federal Supreme Court. ConLUnrA, S. C., January 20.-It is stated on good authority that the dis pensary law will be taken before the federal supreme court next week. It has not yet been definitely decided how the matter will be brought to the at tention of the court, but the under - standing now seems to be that it will be through a writ of error, and if such be possible it will be upon the feature of the law which forbids the introduc tion of liquor into the state except with the certificates of the commissioner. It is hold that this feature of the law Is generally considered unconstitution al and that it will give the best grounds for the writ to the supreme court. It is stated that the case will be present ed by Messrs. Cloft & Chaffee, on the part of the city of A iken, and Messrs. Douglass & O'Bear, who have recently been employed to look after the case by Mayor Dargan, of Darlington. The stato authorities have been look ing for such an attack on the law for some time, and seem to appreciate the fact that this is about the most vulner able feature of the act, especially as it bears upon the federal inter-state laws. WHERE TOBACCO STANDS KING. Marvelois Growth of the 'lobacco Indus try in Nouth Carolnsia. CHARLEsTON, 8. C., Jauuary 20.-The News and Courier publishes today a special tobacco edition, showing the marvelous development of the tobacco growing industry in the Pee Doe sec tion of South Carolina in the last few years. The fullest details are given as to the method of cultivation, the varie ties of seed best adapted to the soil; the cost of production and the protits on the crop, and the experience of a large number of tobacco planters is re lated to show that tobacco isking. To bacco growing is a flourishing industry throughout the Pee Dee sect ion of the state, but it has had its most successful and satisfactory developments in Dar lington connty, to which the News and Courier's review is largely confined. Ten years ago not one pound of to bacco was grown in South Carolina for market. Last year one million pounds were raised and marketed in Darling ton county alone. COTTON FACrORYATLAURENS.
