oTers such opportunities to young
ladies for a thorough literary and

and applies herself will be qualified
for the battle of life in any vocation
she may desire to pursue.

in human society, and as public
opinion Womcs more enlightened
we shall give less regard to those,
however refined or well educated,
who consult their own pleasure at
the expense of others, and more
consideration to the bread winners I
whose hands are calloused and
whose brows are acquainted with
sweat. An education is incomplete
which does not place a noble purpose
behind mental training and
make the hands willing to work. 1
know of no more imperative need
today than that there should he a
clear recognition of the law of rewards,
namely, that each person is
entitled to draw from society in
proportion as he contributes to the
welfare of society. This law is fundamental.
It conforms to that
s mso of justice what forms the
broad basis of social intercourse and
f'*' - - - ' a firm foundation for government.

The right of self government is
dear to the heart of every American
citizen, having l>een one of the most
attractive and commendable clauses
in the constitution, the people cling
to the principle as most vital to ]
their welfare and liberty. The |
policy, wisdom and advisability of
giving to the people of every locality
the right of local option is
questionable, for when left to the
ballot the result does not always
express the sentiment and wishes
of the majority. The right of self
government, a government of the
people, by the people and for the
people, is purely Democratic, and
when wisely and properly administered
is most satisfactory and successful.
History, however, does
bear one out in saying that it has
ahvyas proved the best to submit
to the people every issue, for in
many instances tin; people have
gone wildly wrong,that was ever aftor
to them a source of profound regret,
since it is a very difficult matter in
many cases to correct an error.
People as a people frequently make
grave mistakes and commit errors

Jn the exercise of that great and
glorious privilege of local self government
the- masses should not go
blindly or l>e lead by fanatics into
vdoing anything without due reasoning
as to the result of their acts,
not only upon the immediate comBf
munity hut upon ncighljoring counties
and states. What might be of
some material lament to us, might
eventually result in great detriment
JjL-- to our neighliors. There are always
two sides to a question, sometimes
four. In considering a question we
bold to bo of great benefit to ourselves,
we should view it in the
light of how this w ill effect the'
public generally, and thus eliminate j
every selfish motive. I 1
To avail themselves of tho right
of local option is now agitating the
minds of the people in several counties
in this state. Some hfivc exercised
it and voted ovrt the dispell- t
sary. It is always well to consider \
calmly and dispassionately so as to
see clearly or as clearly as is within
the grasp of men's minds to tell of 1
the future before taking any steps *
in any direction, for it frequently \
happens that people do not know 1
when to let well enough alone. Tho
question has already been asked. i
"Vote out the dispensary, what j
then?"' Wc are in for anything ,
that will blot out the manufacture ]
and sale of whiskey. First convince '
us of what that is, that will bring
altout this delightful and desirable .
state of affairs and we arc with you <
heart and soul. Past history has <
shown that local legislation is
powerless to suppress the sale of '
whiskey, therefore nothing short of j
national legislation; an act of congress
providing for its limited niafiu- 1
facture and restricted sale will have ]
any tendency to lessen the evil,
even then it would take a standing j
army of thousands to enforce the 1
law. In the face of these facts we S
must conclude that public senti
mcnt, the education of the people,
the women more especially, to look j
with contempt and abhorrence t
upon all who drink. Let the women
say and stick to it, "The lips that '
touch whiskov shnll nnvrn* 1

-eaks in Cotton Crop and
Acreage Reports.
The continued and systematic
;alse reports of cotton acreage and
;rop reports given out by the agricultural
department of the. government
and that these reports were
m the hands of speculators and
their press organs liefore reaching
the agricultural department excited
i great deal of suspicion and indignation.
The government undertook
to investigate the leakage and
the cotton growers association the
source from whence the reports
:omc. The following will throw
some light on the fraud being practiced
by government employees:
Some very sensational discoveries
ire Iniing made as the investigation
r>f the "leaks in the crop reports"
from the agricultural department
progresses. A government fliocial,
who is taking an active part in the
investigation, in conversation with
the News and Courier correspondent
Friday said in substance:
"Chief Wilkie, of the secret service
bureau, who has the investigation
in hand, has made some startling
discoveries, which may involve
not only Assistant Statistician
Holmes, hut also Chief Statistician
Hyde, who is now in Europe, and
>ne of the femalo clerks in the
lgricultural department who handle
the data upon which the cotton
::rop reports are based.
While Home of the evidence ia
circumstantial, enough has already
been disclosed to show that advance
information on the cotton crop report,
and also other reports which
affect speculation, has reached a
few Htock brokers through the
medium of 'a woman.'
The woman in the case is said to
be one of the three persons to
handle the figures for the last time
before the official report is promulgated.
This woman, who, it is
jaid, receives $50 a month salary,
lias recently Ixiught a comfortable
residence in this city and furnished
t in fine style.
On the same authority it is said
hut Assistant Statistician Holmes
las invested largely in suburban
eal estate, from his meagre salary,
ilr. Holmes is now under suspen

sion, because of the investigation
ami the reflections upon him.
The progress of the investigation
is being kept a profound secret,
pending the absence of Chief Statistician
Hyde, who sailed for Europe,
a few days before the charges of
leakage in the department were
filed.
