At the session of the South Carolina general assembly to convene in Janu? ary, li>0S. a bill will be introduced to prohibit the manufacture and sale of intoxicating beverages of any and all -descriptions within the borders of this State. Recent utterances from lead? ing prohibitionists justify us in say? ing this without any qualification. A little while ago we regarded the pass? age of such a measure as wholly im? probable, at least by the members of the general assembly now in office. It seemed fair and reasonable that the local option system established by the Carey-Cothran If- wculd be al? lowed time to prov .s merits and j demerits. ; _? When the prohibition bill is pre? sented next year, representatives and senators of Charleston will contend that prohibition is unsuited to cr:is city. They will affirm with truth that its enforcement would be impractica? ble by any other means than the vir? tual maintenance of martial law. They will argue that the principles of home rule should exempt this com? munity from subjection to a law that will be so honored in the breach as to engender contempt for other laws and embolden the disorderly and de? praved elements of society. They will appeal to the generous and fair dealing representatives of other coun? ties to refrain from fastening a law upon Charleston that will inevitably drive its whole population to open or tacit law-breaking. The prohibition leaders wil have an answer ready. Conditions they will insist, can be no worse in Charleston than they now are. The business of illicit selling will be no greater am: the contempt of a prohibition law will be no more general than it is for the iocal option law. This latter law was the best that could be given tov Charleston within the constitutional restrictions. ' The prohibitionists have boen forbearing and even indulgent to Charleston and, having been in com? plete control of its whiskey traffic for a year, Charleston presents no evi? dence whatever of improvement. The majority of the people of the State, they will continue, favor pro? hibition. They prefer a uniform law expelling the traffic from the State. If prohibition will not materially in? crease the number of blind "tigers" in Charleston, and if the profits from dispensaries are pitifully out of pro? portion to what their sum should be, <were the law enforced, why retain a : system out of tolerance for Charles Eton's wishes and against the wishes of 'the majority of the State's pe^pl^. So ? far as the rur*l counties now retain? ing dispensaries are concerned, they .-will at least not meet prohibition with , - rebeli?n. If as now appears most -probable, State, prohibition shall have ibeen enacted for Georgia, the prohib? itionists in our Legislature will be armed with the additional argument that enforcement will be immensely aided by the difficulty that will attend importation of liquors from the Geor? gia cities. V. tcWhat of it?" asks a Charlestonian. 4*If we are not to have sales by the drink and drinking onthe premises, the ?only plan satisfactory, why isn't pro? hibition, violated' openly, as good as another plan equally disregarded, "barring the comparatively paltry pro- ] fits from th; oispensaries, which, af? ter all. wou*d still go into the pockets of Charleston men?" Plausible ques? tions they are, but, we believe Char? leston would find prohibition infinite? ly more annoying and injurious than '. a county dispensary system. Every man would be oppressed with the ; feeling that he was a law-breaker : whenever he purchased whiskey or beer, and that sensation gentlemen do i not enjoy. Interference with th? i clubs and societies in their social life < would be threatened daily and hour? ly. The tourist travel from the north . in winter, now so promising, would 1 be seriously crippled, many a man ' who might otherwise stop in Charles? ton proceeding to Florida, where he would be free from irritation and in- ? convenience in his drinking. Most . men who drink moderately do so ,without the slightest compunction of conscience, and therefore the visitor from the north will prefer to go where he may do his drinking with? out skulking. Under a prohibition law in Charleston, every man who drinks would feel himself a skulker, and that is not a pleasant prospect. We do not know who may be govern? or of South Carolina in future years, but we do know from unhappy ex? periences that a governor may incite, at pleasure, riots in the streets by at? tempting to enforce a law which the people despise, and that he may jus? tify himself before the people of the State by appealing to the letter of the statute, incidentally arraying our fel? low citizens in antagonism towards us. How to avoid these evils is simple. We have but to convince the people Of the State <>f a sincere purpose to enforce the Oaroy-Cothran law. Only results will be convincing. There must be the evidence ot" sales through the dispc-n.-ari-.N, and there n:ust be perceptible and certain reduction in the number of "blind tigers." L? t us not imagine that we are going to fool anybody. The general assembly i? full of intelligent, hard-beaded and liberal-minded men. some of them prohibitionists, who do not expect the "'blind tigers" to be so rare here un? der the county dispensary sys? tem or any other system as they are in Aiken and Florence. Thesf men, however, perceive the difference between endeavors to reduce the law? breakers to a minimum number ope? rating under constant surveillance and a "wide open town." where whiskey Ss sold as freely and openly as soda water. It is too much to' expect the people j of South Carolina to take no offence j at a sweeping, coolly insolent and con? tinuing defiance of a law, however unwise that law may be. We shail not gain the sympathy of the people of South Carolina, but rather we shall fling inflammable fuel upon the dying embers of political prejudice against j our city, if we fail to present facts j and figures to the general assembly that will prove to it that respect for the law which it enacts has not de? parted from Charleston's people. .xews and Courier.

Seventeen Men Injured and Eight Miay Die-Ship Goes to Boston. Washington, July 15.- A wireless dispatch from Capt. McRae, of the j battleship Georgia, lying at Province- , town, Mass., says an explosion oe- ' curred in the upper aft turret this af? ternoon, injuring 17 men, including Lieutenant Goodrich, a son of Rear Admiral Goodrich, Midshipman John T. Cruse, Faulkner and Goldwaite. McRae says he thinks the explosion was caused by ignition of a charge in the after turret. Eight of the 17 se? riously hurt may die. The Georgia will be sent to Boston where every care will be taken of the wounded. Boston, July 18.-The report of the board of inquiry investigating the battleship Georgia disaster will prob? ably be forwarded to Washington to? day from the flagship Virginia, where the final meeting is being held today. It is stated unofficially, but from a trustworthy source,'that several mem? bers of the board think the accident was not due to .'a spark but to spon? taneous combustion of gases generat? ed by rapid firing. The board failed to discover evidence to support the spark theory. If this be true, naval experts face a more serious problem than in other naval disasters, as sparks can be prevented, but it is un? known how to prevent the explosion of gases.

Seoul, Korea, July 19.-Emperor Yi Hyeung formally abdicated the Korean throne at ll o'clock today. In his parting address he expressed his regret that national calamities had marked the 44 years of his reign. It is uncertain which of three princes will succeed Yi Hyeung. The imbecile Crown Prince has the strong? est backing, while the Dissolute Prince Widau and an eleven year prince are supported by many. In any event the change means a tightening of the Mikado's hold on Korea. In abdicat? ing the Emperor named the Crown Prince the heir apparent as his suc? cessor, but it is not certain whom the Japanese will accept. GERMAXS MOB WOMAX.

A recent incident causes the Macon ? Telegraph to reprint Lincoln's Gettys j burg address, which, it says, "can j never be too often read by all who j would appreciate the power, the beau j ty. the music of spoken language." I The Charlotte Observer also repro? duces the speech, and adds: "This is universally recognized as one of the finest pieces of literature in the language and those who have nO:Copy should preserve this. We are indebted to the Macon Telegraph for \ the information that 'Lincoln was not I the orator of the day on which he made his simple but famous utter? ance-in its simplicity, comprehen? siveness, breadth and brevity sublime. Another orator of note had prepared and delivered the oration of the occa? sion. His name we do not readily re? call at this moment. Lincoln had briefly noted his thoughts on a stray scrap of paper. The words flowed naturally, simply, pellucid, each a shining drop of pure Anglo-saxon that sparkled like a diamond as it fell. It made a prose poem, scarcely 'the length of a sonnet, yet epic in tts grasp and greatness.' " 'His name we do not readily re? call at this moment'-this of the ora? tor of the occasion, who had doubt? less made elaborate preparation for it. His words have 'gone down to nothingness and night,' while the simple, natural sentences of Lincoln will live forever." The orator of the day was Edward Everett, of Massachusetts, statesman, orator, preacher, editor of the North Amercan Review, governor of Massa? chusetts, member of congress, minis? ter to England, president of Harvard j College, secretary of state in Fill-, more's cabinet, senator from Massa? chusetts, nominee for vice president in 1860 of the Constitutional Union I party, and the intimate friend of Sir Walter Scott. When he delivered the address of the day at Gettysburg, No? vember 19. IS63, he was 70 years old. He died 14 months later, January li, 1S65. His addregs was a finished ora? tion, with a peroration that brought a storm of applause. Lincoln had writ? ten his address, and delivered it in a voice which not many heard. It was as follows: "Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposi? tion that all men are created equal. Now, we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedi? cated, cap long endure. We are met j on a great battlefield of that war. We i have come to dedicate a portion <;f j that field as a final resting place for } those who here gave their lives '.hat j the nation might live, it is altogeth- j fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense, we can? not dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men. living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our power to add or de? tract. The world will listen not. nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us; that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion; that we. here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this na? tion under God shall have a hew birth of freedom, and that govern? ment of the people, by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth." When Mr. Lincoln had finished. Mr. Everett declared that while the elaborate address which he had de? livered would be soon fogotten. Mr. Lincoln's would live as a masterpiece of English and eloquence. Mr. Eve? rett seems to have been correct. Two well informed newspapers confess they have forgotten the name of the principal speaker on that occasion. Mr. Everett was a scholar, a gradu? ate of Harvard, a student in English and German universities, a highly polished, cultured gentleman of wide learning and refining association, while Mr. Lincoln's education was ob? tained in a log school house, by the cabin firelight, among men and amid nature. No finer letter was ever writ? ten than the one he wrote to the mother of five sons who died in bat? tle. It is as follows: "I have been shown in the files of the war department a statement that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle. I j eel how weak and fruitless must be s ny words of mine which would attempt to beguile you from your grief for a loss so overwhelming -but I cannot refrain from tendering to you the consolation which may be found in the thanks of the republic they died to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement. and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and the lost, and the sol? emn pidde that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the al? tar of freedom." This letter is a gem-?narred by the expression, "I have been shown" -error common with many writers. This letter and his Gettysburg speech established Mr. Lincoln's reputation :ts a master of expression. A Memorable Day. *One of the days we rememb- r with pleasure, as well as with profit j to our health, is the one on which we \ A BOOMERANG EXPERT. ! At Least This is What a Washington i Man Claims to De. j George Clarvoe of Washington has : become expert in the use of the Aus i tralian boomerang, can hurl it indeed j with a dexterity that would make him chief from Booloomooloo to Botany bay. He is an expert instrument maker in the Coast and Geodetic survey. When some years ago au Englishman, who had been around the bush with the wild Australians a spell, came to Washington and gave an exhibition of i boomerang throwing, Mr. Clarvoe's j interest in the construction and cast , ing of this strange weapon was arous? ed. 6 He looked at the things flying and soaring through the air like birds wooden birds, as they were. Then he looked at the half dozen hanging on the arm of the Englishman-and that was enough for Mr. Clarvoe. He went home and fashioned him a near boomerang. It didn't fly, but it fluttered some, j and made a noise like a real boom? erang. That was encouraging; he tried again, varying slants, curve and dimensions, and at last reached .the point where the flawless boome? rang was built. Then Mr. Clarvoe ad? dressed himself to casting ic. "It is much like learning to ride a bicycle," said he. "It would always go just wherj I didn't aim it." But by degrees he attained that ex? pertness which has enabled him to ri? val and even surpass the black in? venters cf the warlike wood. The weapon is about 20 inches long over all, having a sharp bend in the j middle like the crook of an elbow. In shape it much resembles the arm of a man just at that stage of the con ! vivi al proceedings when he says: ! "Here's at you." It is about two inches wide and about three-eights of an inch thick in the middle, the bottom side flat, the top bevelled down to the edges. The two arms or branches are not in the same plane, but are slanted away-at an angle . :' two ?rees. It weighs about a pou id. x In casting the boomerang the throw? er grasps it firmlj by one end. the other enc projecting up and out in front of iii' . like the warning arm of a r: il semaphore. The hand is then fl::: - hac! ver the shoulder and brought f<vv?ard perpendicularly, the boomerang being hurled at full arms length. just as it ? es the grasp the hand is snapped back with a jerk, as a boy snaps back a hoop to make it return. This imp?rts a rotary motion to the : thing, and right there is the miik in the cocoanut, the secret of the boom? erang's bewildering flight. Away it goes whirling through the air, tumbling heels over head, for a distance of 100 to 200 feet, never va- ' rying in its height from the ground. Then, just as one thinks it faning to : the ground, as by all the statutes of ? civilized things it ought to do, he sees 1 it hesitate a moment as though con? sidering what to do next, turn on its side, and with a few preliminary* 1 whirls (which have now becom'e hor- ' izontal) go gently sailing away to . the left, sailing away and up back. 1 for the astonishing affair, instead of . continuing forward or falling, defies ' all the laws of gravi talion and c ;ts 1 altogether by contraries. 1 In a ; wide semi-circle it sweeps, soaring into the air and reaching its ] greatest elevation when half way 1 home. Thence it comes whirring and 1 whirling back to the thrower, its ro- . tary motion apparently increasing as 1 it nears the ground at his feet-some ] times at his feet, oftentimes at the * head of .an innocent bystander. 1 "A friend of mine who goes to ( thinking about something: else," said ( Mr. Clarvoe. "once nursed a goose 1 egg on the back of his head for a 1 week." It is the rotary motion that 1 makes the boomerang a dangerous . weapon. '"i he swiftly whirling arm strikes a . powerful blow, and with its soaring ? backward sweep it can fish a man out < from behind a rock or tree without i difficulty. That is, for the thrower. 1 It is the realization of that mythical 1 rifle with the curve in the barrel that could hit a deer around a mountain 1 side. 1 "The cant, or variation of the arm 1 from the same plane, is. I think, the 1 cause of the continued rotary motion i and the key to the boomerang's 5 strange flight. It was in getting this 1 exa^t that I had the-most trouble. 1 "When the boomerang at the end of its forward flight halts and turns 1 on its side the rotary or spinng mo- ' tion acts like a screw on the air, caus- j1 ing it to worm its way upward and ; backward. Do you see it?" 1 The bystander didn't see it. All he ' saw was a bewildering flight of boomerangs that dipped and soared 3 and swerved and darted and hurled 1 and whirred like things possessed. ; moving without the slightest regard for the laws of nature or the integrity 1 of his own headpiece. Boomerangs appear to have a great natural affinity for heads and win? dows. Hence Mr. Clarvoe, when in- ? dulging in his favorite sport, seeks ' the green fields far from folks and ' buildings.-Washington Post. 1 _i{ ! 1 Th? ?"harming Woman * Is not necessarily one of perfect ( form and 'eautres.

Pr? . . Worms Which Feed on ' ik Leaves. Fro- v York Evening Post. Sp ; uss: . or wild silk, comes near ; chief article of export of M . ccording to Albert W. Pont.1 unit- States vice consul general at Xewchwang> who recently made a trip to the Kaichow market for the purpose of investigation. As all silk experts know, this silk is pro? duced from cocoons, the worms of which are fed on oak leaves. After being spun, it is shipped to Kaichow, where the tax collector, appointed by the Chinese government, is stationed. This official holds his position only after guaranteeing to pay the gov? ernment a yearly sum collected through his official position. ..*.s he is the only official collecting tax on this article of export, the na? tives are obliged to ship ali their silk to his station. None of the silk ex? ported from Kaichow is spun there. Kaichow, or Kaiping, is a walled city, lying about 25 miles directly south of Xewchwang. It is about five miles from the sea and of easy access to the railway, being only about two miles distant from the Kaiping station of the South Manchurian Railway. Af? ter the silk arrives at this place and passes through the hands of the tax collector, it is reshipped to difierenc parts for export. The Xewchwang custom returns for 1906 show that wild silk to the amount of more chan $1.300,000 gold was exported from that place alone. Value of the exports through Dalny are unobtainable. According to the representative of a German firm at Kaichow, wild silk to the value of nearly $3,000.000 gold was exported during the past year. The export fig? ures in the course of the past ten years have varied considerably, running as high as 27,000 bales and as low as 1,600 bales. Each bale con? tains one picul, or 133 1-3 pounds. The average value per bale for the past ten years was about $136 gold. Had not the late war interfered with the crops, the figures would have been higher than shown, as the popu? lation and trees have suffered. Both the Russians and Japanes- obtained concessions to cut trees, in the Yalu district, and as a consequence the oak forests have dwindled to some extent. The very life of the cocoon depends on these trees, and the Chinese Gov? ernment must adopt some measure for their preservation if the wild silk trade is to retain an important posi? tion in the exports of Manchuria. Special investigations of the wild silk market of Manchuria have been made by a German firm, which "is much interested }u the American and European silk trade: and their repre? sentative declares that Kaichow and An lung are the silk markets of that province. But, while Antung mainly exports cocoons to Chefoo, where the silk is spun in foreign style, Kaichow is the market for silk spun in the old fashion. While wild silk is cropped md spun in districts considerably dis? tant from Kaichow, the spun article must be sent to that place. The num? ber of bales of wild silk brought to Kaichow and re-shipped for export through the ports of Xewchwang and Dalny agrees with the Shanghai cus? toms returns, thus proving Kaichow :o be the distributing market of the province for that article of export. The business of Kaichow is done al? most entirely through Chinese. The market price per bale varies accord? ing to the large or small demand in Shanghai, and is also influenced by :he stocks in that place. The business s generally done during the winter, ind the conditions are such that busi? ness on a commission basis is simply jut of the question. Wild silk can mly be bought speculatively. Offers ire obtainable in Shanghai through merchants who hold stocks and who lave their Chinese representatives in Kaichow. The foreigners, therefore, nave an advantage in buying in Shanghai. When the market began in November of last year the price of me bale ranged from $130 to $132 ?told; since then the prices have gone ap steadily, until now a bale will Dring as high as $16S gold. Manchuria silk, tussah filature, (small reel.) tussah. native, (large -eel,) and tussah waste (wild silk re? fuse) have repeatedly been shipped to :he United States, but at present, ow? ing to the lack of demand, only tus? sah filature of the very best variety inds a steady market. This grade wrings about $22? gold per bale of 133 1-2 pounds. Tussah native has never pleased the American consumer, and :ussah waste, having been spun in England, turns up in the United States as tussah spun silk, or "chap pe." About ten years ago larger lots it the original waste were tried, but arith little or no success. The reason jiven for the lack of demand in the LTnited States for both tussah native md tu:;sah waste is the high scale of ?vages paid, and the failure to find a market in that country . Tussah once colored has the same aspect as mul? berry silk. Wilk silk as reeled by the native method has a dark cold color, with? out much lustre, and a distinct soapy >dor, which is due to final washing in i strong soap solution. The lark color is caused by the alkaline solution, used to dis? solve the gum in the cocoons. on :he iron kettles used for the purpose, [f a copper kettle were US'N?. the col >r would be somewhat lighter, as is :he cast- in Shantung, where the silk produced is somewhat lighter than the Manchurian variety.

A'as. in United States currency: L901-2, $636.47'?; 1902-3. ??94, up to March ll. 1907. 7.160 piculs tussah native, 460 cases tussah fila? ture and 7,480 piculs tussah waste were shipped out of Kaichow. 6.000 piculs of which were shipped through Dalny. the remainder through Xew? chwang. From a chart compiled by Jaques Xathansohn, of Berlin, the quantity figures of raw Manchurian silk ex? ported from Shanghai during ten years, each ending with November 30, were in piculs. as follows: 1896-97, 11,500; 1S97-S. 12,800: 1S98-9, 1.600; 1899-1900, 12.025; 1900-1 15,000; 27.000; 1904-5, 16.S50; 1905-6, 14, 1901-2, 9.000; 19?2-3, 13,350; 1903-4, 500. Tussah filature, 8, 7 and 4 co? coons, attracts the most interest, and the greater part of the variety is spun at Chefoo. Of the Manchurian wild silk produced, 20 to 25 per cent is tussah filature and\70 to 75 per cent consists of tussah native. The tussah consists of tusah native. The tussah waste thrown off during a year amounts, roughly speaking, to 6,000 bales, of 266 2-3 pounds in each bale. All the tusah filature and tussah na? tive is already spun, while the waste must first be spun into thread before it can be put to its varied uses. The word "tussah" is not derived, as is generally supposed, from the Chinese words "tu ssu," (local silk.) but had its origin in India many years agp, the Chinese name being taken from the Indian one.-New York Evening Post.
