One of the best provisions of the war tax bill, as recently passed by the Senate, is that which requires every barrel of “adulterated” or ‘•mixed” Hour to be stamped with a four-cent stamp, and to be plainly marked or branded “mixed flour,” together with the true weight of the package, the names of the ingredi ents contained, the names of the manufacturer or packer and the place where manufactured or packed. This is a just and righteous tax, and the pity is that it is not ten times heavier. The adulteration of flour has reached an extent of which few people are aware. It is a crime in the sight of heaven and ought to be one among m*>n to be visited with the severest punishment. But if we have no laws that will reach it as a crime, then let the tax levjing power come down on it with such a heavy hand that the rascals who perpetrate it, will be driven out of the market and honest manufacturers will be able to make an honest living. We have long been in the habit of thinking that about all of the frauds and humbugs of every kind come from the north; but here is a letter which was read in Congress the other day by Senator Mason, which shows that rascality is not confined to any particular locality—that it will thrive in a southern as well as a north ern clime. The letter is from the York Manufacturing Company, Paints and Wood fillers, Greensboro. X. C., and is addressed to a firm of millers in Pennsylvania. It reads as follows: Greens no no, N. May ".—Gentlemen: We invite your attention to our mineraline, which is without doubt the greatest existing discovery. There is no Hour mill man who can afford not to use it. for several reasons: Your Hour will he much whiter and nieer. It does not injure the flour in any way, is not at ail injurious »o t the health, and by uslne' mineraline you realize a margin of from $4€0 to $1,000 on each ear load you use. To secure a low freight rate, we mark it as “ship stuff'.” We can furnish you mineraline free on board the cars, your station, for high /grade Hour, for $20 a ton, for medium grade Hour at $10 per ton, for bread meal at JR’ per ton and for feed meal at $8 per ton. For a high grade Hour use 15 per cent, mineraline, for medium grade flour use 1^ per cent, mineraline, for bread use 12 per cent mineraline, and for feed meal use is per cent mineraline. We furnish all our custo mers with a mixer free of charge. This ma chine will distribute completely any propor tion desired, and costs nothing to attach. All you have to do is to bore a hole in your elevator pipe, elamp on the machine, attach a cord to run it, Hll up the hopper, and set the feed to the proportion desired. Enclosed And sample of our mineraline for medium grade flour. You cannot afford to let your competitor beat you In both <iuulDy and margin. We would be glad to hear from you. Very truly Yours. The York Manufacturing Company, Hy M. K. H. Messrs. Fisher & Miller, Huntingdon, Pa, An unalygifl of the mineraline ad vertised in the above circular shows that it is nothing but ground clay, S5 per cent, of which is insoluble even in acid. The other adulterants which will be reached by the war tax measure are barytes flour or ground rock, which increases the weight and adds to the whiteness of the flour, while the most common one of all Is known as corn flour from which the gluten and sugar have been extracted and the ingredi ents bleached with sulphuric acid. Such is the vile stuff bought at a high price and eaten hy our people under the inspiring name of patent roller 100 per cent, flour; while our fastidious housewives would consider their tables dishonored, if by some chance, a stray biscuit should ap pear on them, made of the pure, rich, yellow tinted flour which was truly the stuff of life to our fathers and mothers, and which made our mothers beautiful and our fathers healthy, strong and manly. Verily, our people love to be humbugged, and instead of the time-honored al lotment of one peck of dirt to each ii dividual in a life time, we require bushels In n year. The supremo court of the United Slates holds (hat the sale of such goods cannot he Interfered with by state laws without violating the principles of interstate commerce. So we’ll continue to buy dirt and eat it, to complain of dys pepsia and all its concomitant hor rors, until our farmers shall die of \ the cotton craze and their children shall learn what we all might have learned in childhood, that color is not and never cun be an element of taste nor of nourishment to the hu man stomach. “UNCLE GEORGE'S” HLATFORM. Col. Geo. D. Tillman, candidate for Governor, announces about u five column platform in the State papers. He bandies the dispensary with gloves olT, indeed, treats it as the main issue of the campaign. He characterizes the dispensary “an unwise, corrupt, and extravagant failure,” and supports the character ization by facts and figures, that seem to be incontrovertible. The cost of running the dispensary he shows to be over !)>2(>0,000 per annum. It has about oOO officers and em ployes scattered about the State and fully equipped for manipulating elections for the “machine.” The State and towns are entitled only to so much of the proceeds of dispen sary sales as remain after all expen ses are paid, and there is very little that so remains, nearly all of it being absorbed in "the salaries, wages, fees, shortages, and stealages of the 500 officers, agents, and employes, who get twice or three times as much pay as they ought, and should be made to hustle lor a living, culti vating cotton at five cents or toiling at other hard jobs, these hard times, like other people.” He is opposed to supporting the public schools by profits on whiskey and to taxing the white man’s prop erty to educate the negro. He ar gues with great ability that no muni cipal corporation should enjoy any part of the profits on whiskey whether sold by a dispensary State officer or by a private license of a county. He is in favor, in accord ance with his well known views on county government, of referring the whole whiskev question to the coun ties for solution, and of letting each county decide for itself whether it will have prohibition, a dispensary, or licensed barrooms conducted under dispensary regulations. He proposes further that each county that may choose to have whiskey sold in any form shall apply the profits to county expenses and improve ments, and predicts that under such an arrangement county taxes could be greatly reduced. If the people are careless about the reduction of taxes and do not aspire to extensive improvements, they ought to have enough patriotism and gratitude to collect a county license and divide it in pensions among the poor old crippled and diseased Confederate soldiers and their widows, instead of letting a gang of smugglers and four or five hundred dispensary sinecures and legalized robbers appropriate all the prolitsof whiskey selling in the State. The United States levies a revenue tax of $1.10 cts a gallon on whiskey mostly to pay pensions to Federal soldiers, and why couldn’t each county in South Carolina pension its own soldiers and dedicate its county license to that purpose. Georgia, with a population of only about one third more than South Carolina pays her old soldiers about $500,000 every year, while South Carolina, pays only $100,000 to her maimed and aged veterans. Coi. Tillman is a strong man and he has put forth a strong platform, and he will make a strong, manly race for Governor. ENTRIES FROM OUR DAY BOOK. Mr. G. Walt. Whitman, of Jones- ville, has filed his pledge us a candi date for Governor. He has equipped himself with a bicycle on which he proposes to ride down all opposition. If Walt be not the next Governor, it will be entirely oweing to a scarcity of votes. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The 1st Regiment of South Caro lina volunteers under Col. Alston is now at Chickamauga, while the Bat talion under Maj. Thompson is still in Columbia. The regiment moved in two detachments, one of which passed through Spartanburg where the citizens turned out in great num bers and gave the boys quite an ova tion. The Charleston Tost issued lust week what is called “A Deep Water Edition,” comprising 105 pages, all crowded with information about the grand old city of Charleston—Us splendid people, itfl resources, its history, and its prospects. We do not know when we ever before saw such a magnlficient specimen of newspaper enterprise. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The State pol'tical campaign opens to-day at Orangeburg. There are seven candidates for Governor and numbers of others anxious to servo the people in lower offices. The Prohibition Executive Committee has annulled the “Suggestions” of the Prohibition Convention, and the candidates on that ticket will run as Democrats on their individual merits. The main issue is whiskey, and the light is triangular, the dispensary, prohibition, and high license, occupy ing the three corners. A knot in nautical measurements is something over 2,025 yards, or not far from miles. The government now has a number of gun boats in process of construction, which will make HO knots «n hour. That is nearly fl5 miles an hour—good rail road speed. Imagine one of these iron clad monsters plunging full tilt against a wooden man of war and you will get a picture of horror com pared with which the pictures drawn by geologists of combats of sea mon sters in Devonian times, will dwindle into insignificance. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Yellow fever has appeared at Mc Henry, Miss., near Ocean Springs, where it made its first appearance last year. This is early in the year for it to begin its ravages in this country, and it is fearful to contem plate its prevalence in Southern towns until the first frost next fall. If it strikes our armies it will prove a more powerful ally of Spain than would be all the nations of Europe combined. Without its active aid, the hot climate of the tropics may be counted on to do a far more dead ly work among our volunteer troops than Spanish ships and armies can ever accomplish. We believe that President McKin ley during his short administration, has done more towards obliterating sectional prejudice and uniting the South and the North in feeling as well as name than ail the otherPresi- dents that have occupied the White House since the war. It is time that the conditions are favorable to mutual conciliation, but it is true also that the President has proved himself to be a broad minded, liberal-hearted, far- seeing patriot. In his appointment of Southern ofileers he has shown that he himself is free from all sec tional prejudice; and in the honest, strenuous efforts he made to avert the horrors of war he proved both his patriotism and benevolence. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ • The phrase “old veterans” is not current in the editorial sanctum of the Ledger. W« should as soon say “an old aged-man” or an “old old- tree.” We don’t cull every thing that pleases us nice, either. We endorse Pope’s “nice bee” and we sometimes speak of nice distinctions, discrimi nations, tastes, and such things. Indeed, if we were in a very imagina tive frame of mind, we might be led into the doubtful propriety of saying “a nice girl;” but if hy a slip of the tongue we should apply the epithet to a young man of taste and a nice appreciation of words, we should apologize to him and tell him that we did not mean to hurt his feelings. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ It is said that German army officers speak with great contempt of the slow movements of this government in prosecuting the war and cite them as proof of the vqst superiority of the European military system. It is true that our country must necessa rily go to the war slowly owing to the fact that she does not keep herself on a war footing in time of peace, oppressing her people with the bur den of large standing armies. She can afford to move slowly and to be indifferent alike to the contempt of German officers and the impatience of American newspapers. She is con scious of her strength, knows her game cannot escape, and is not afraid of either invasion or defeat. ♦ The army of invasion has at last sailed from Tampa, if there is any truth in press reports, and it is ex pected to land on Cuban soil by to day, having left Key West Sunday night. The army consists of about 27,000 men of all arms, and left in thirtv-two transports conveyed by twenty war ships, Gen. Sbafter is in command The Americans have gained a foot ing near Santiago and are holding with a small body of marines as a landing place, it is thought for the main army. On last Sunday these marines were attacked by the Spanish troops and defended themselves for thirteen hours against vastly superior numbers finally driving off the Spaniards. Several of the marines were killed, among them Surgeon John Gibbs, a native of Richmond, Va. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ It is a matter of pride that the most during feats of the war thus far have been performed by Southern men. The first life saciiliced in ac tual battle was that of Ensign Bagley, of North Carolina. Lieut. Hobson who curried the Merrimac into the harbor of Santiago, and sank her un der circumstances that promised a thousand chances of death to one of life, is an Alabamia; while Victor Blue,who with twelve men in an open bout recently ran the gauntlet of Spanish gun boats and first plaited the American flag on the main land of Cuba, and returning captured two Spanish vessels, is from our own Palmetto State. The descendents of the men who followed Lee and Jack- son, manned the Merrima£in Hamp ton Roads, and rode the ocean waves with Semmes and Maury,-Ure prov ing themselves worthy of the glori ous heritage uequeathed them by their fathers. ♦ ♦ The truth at last comes out con cerning the riot of the United States colored troops in Tampa, Fla., and for outrage and infamy it almost surpasses credulity. They broke up saloons, raided cafes and perpetrated crimes too shocking to name in print. The reign of terror they in stituted lasted for about twelve hours, and the civil authorities and the provost guard were both alike set at defiance. A regiment of Georgia volunteers at last arrived on the scene and quelled the rioters, or their orgies, it seems, would have been protracted and extended indefinitely. And these are soldiers of the regular army in which strict military discip line is supposed to be maintained! These ure representatives of a race that are clamoring for the rights and honors of citizenship in a civilized country! Send them to the Philip pines as food for the Malays. They are a disgrace both to the army and to their race. Chairman Haselden, of the State Board of Control, makes a vigorous report in which he exposes a good deal of crookedness in dispensary matters. Shortages come to light that have been in existence for three years, though the accounts have been made to conform all that time with charges in the central office, break age in many cases has been far be yond what the circumstances would seem to justify, and there is a mild hint that somebody knows how the breakage occurs ; while dispensers in arrears make big profits by settling with the State at invoice prices, thereby turning the difference be tween these and selling prices to the account of personal profit—a differ ence covering a matter ox 50 to 150 per cent. With all these little fragrant irreg ularities, however, the big gin mill hums to the tune of $20,000 a week, cash up, and no grumbling on the part of the consumer. ' Now the Government must have the “sinews of war,” and a bond is sue of $200,000,000 is authorized. The Secretary of the Treasury issues a circular giving particulars, and in viting the people to come down with the cash wlthiu a period of thirty- four days. The bonds will bear interest at the rate of 3 per cent, per annum, pay able quarterly and are to be redeemed at the pleasure of the Government any time after ten years. In order that too much money may not be suddenly withdrawn from circulation those taking bonds to the amount of $500 or more, are allowed to pay for them in 20 per cent, installments. Preference is given in many ways to small bonds. It adds to the strength and stability of any government to owe as many of its own people as possible, but let no individual at tempt to follow such an example. An individual will find that the greater number of people he owes the more precarious will become bis stability. Holly Grove Hints. (Correspondence of Tim Ledger.) Holly Grove, June ll.—The far mers of this section would appreciate a rain now. Wo haven’t had any rain of any consequence in about seven weeks. Cotton and corn is looking as well as could be expected, owing to the extremely dry weather. Farmers have begun to reap their wheat. Mr. J. M. Martin is building a nice \ dwelling house on his place. Mrs. E. J. Sepoch has been on tl.e sick list, but is about well now. Miss Nellie Martin has been sick a day or two. Some of the boys of this commu nity don’t weigh as much as they did before the war begun. 1 don’t think they need to be afraid of hav ing to go to the war yet. The Ledger has advised the far mers to stop planting so much cotton and raise something to eat. It is not too late to sow peas after harvest, plant peas and if the war continues you will find it the best. School Boy. —• State Line Statements.
