It is a comfort to know that we I
can send a special delivery letter
now merely by the addition of ten
cents worth of stamps and writing
< across the face of the- envelope in-1
^ dicating that it if for special delivery.
Many of our friends have shown
us kindness in the matter of giving
us local and personal news items.
This kindness is greatly appreciated.
We are anxious to get the news.
Phone us or tell it to the editor.
You may not think it is much of a
neivs item thnt. sonn* friend hoo
ever, and and will he glad to have
you tell us.
The postal authorities have raised
the price of stamped envelopes four,
cents a thousand. This was neces-1
j
sary on account of the increased |
cost of IVllll'f ThiTn ij nil ilnnir. I
ing the fact that along with the I
wave of prosperity coming over the
county, high prices fail not to make :
themscves felt. The newspaper;
men everywhere are feeling the
weight of advancing prices.
line of our friends called upon us
the other day urging that we call
attention to the fact that there are,
st> many worthless, stray dogs allowed
to run at large upon the i
streets of the city. They also invade
one's premises and their eontinous
harking at night is something
that tries the nerves. We hope thoj
dog law will be rigidly enforced,
and these worthless prowlers will
meet a sudden fate.
The lioard of county canvassers
for Kershaw county were in session
all day Tuesday. They decided,
after hearing the testimony in the
dispensary election protests, tlmtj
the returns of the managers were:
correct. This leaves the victory,
with forces opposed to the dispell- j
sary. The matter is still to go be-;
for'- the State board of canvassers.
It is a shame that the decent element
of society has to pay to make
secure a ?victory that is honestly
won at the I ml lot box. Hut sucli is
often the case. The dispensary dies
/*
hard.
"Karly in the night the soldiers,
who were drinking, became noisy
and were repeatedly cautioned by
the guards. Later, when their nuniber
increased to alx>ut I?(X), they
threw aside all restraint and proceeded
to the "War Hath," where'
they invaded placesj>f, ailUUiemeut, (
? * reTTTSTfYg to pay admission fees or to
leave when ordered out of the Temple
of Mirth, beauty show and
streets of Cairo, which were the
principal sufferers."
This tells the whole story. The
soldiers were drinking. A man, bo
he soldier or private citizen, in- i
creases in f<>lly as he fills upon
"booze." "Rum in, reason out."
That's the way it goes.

Chester have formed a Retail

house to another and then on to
another, leaving each as boon as
"credit gives out," ought to be
brought to a halt.

New Orleans, July 3. ? Delegates'
from various sections of the South/-'
ern and Mississippi Valley States (to I
the World's Panama Exposition
Conference, called to meet in New ,
Orleans June 27, 2S, and 20, were
so thoroughly in accord in the gen-1
eral proposition,?that of celebrat-1
ing the completion of the Panama
Canal by the holding of a great Exposition
in New Orleans?that one
evening's discussion was sutlicicnt
to conclude the actual business for
which they were called together,
and the remainder of the time was
given up to the pursuit of pleasure.
Strong resolutions approving the ^
expositiou plans, promising full co-,
operation and ex pjys^mr. confidence '
President
anW'the Federal government toj
complete the canal and open it to
i the world's commerce by 11)15 or
1191b, were adopted. Much of the
! discussion related to the far reaching
commercial l>enet\ts to l>e de- j
j rived from the canal and inland
waterway improvement by all the
states of the Union, and from the
holding of the Exposition by those
states in particular which lie between
the two great mountain
ranges which in the main are
drained by the Mississippi River.
Chairman Philip Werlein opened
the conference, there l>eing nearly
three hundred delegates present.
Mayor Martin Behrman in an openposition
by the
appointment of an initial committee
of twenty-five prominent citizens.
Governor N. C. Blanchard, of
Louisiana, was introduced as presiding
officer of the conference, and
explained to the delegates the objects
of the meeting, pointing out
the importance of a free and full
discussion by representative men
from all tin- states adjacent to,
Louisiana in order that the exposi-.l
plans might be broad and national'
in character. While New Orleans, j
being tie; nearest great port and
city to the ('anpl, was the-logical'
place for the exposition, the people I
of New Orleans had no desire or in-l
tention to make the affair local in
any sense of the word.
In the discussions that followed
delegates from Texas, Arkansas,
Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi,
Florida and Louisiana were called
upon to voice the sentiment of the
people in those states. Mr. S. B. '
Thompson, of Florida, asserted
that every state in the South would
i?m vastly benefitted and that Flor-j
ida would co-operate in every way. i
Mr. S. B. MeConnico, who took'
an active part during the second
Vear of the Cotton States Centenial
in New Orleans some twenty-two (
years, told of its management and
gave some interesting and in-1
structive details.
Mr. J. M. Thompson, of Norfolk,'
Va., discussed the great benefits)
that have followed the Jamestown ,
Exposition of which he was one of
the promoters.
Mr. Henry I'harr, of the Teche
Parishes, said the people of Southwest
Louisiana were ready to cooperate
and wanted to he put to
work at once.
Dr. (i. G. Mayer, of Abbeville,
who had just returned from Yucatan,
told of conditions in that
country and said that the exposition
would aid largely in opening
up profitable trade relations between
this country and that.
Mr. Sidney Story, of New Orleans,
spoke of the primal iniportof
selecting the right man as
director general.
Mr. C. II. Willard, of Chicago,
i..a ?i t -
win# ciiiruuuii tut* t(Miit*ruiiuu ,,n
in teres tejk?i?wKvi<iual, told of what
th? ^WTFago exposition had done for
that rity and territory, and promtd\<l
that he would make New Orleans
his home and he here to participate
in the Benefits to follow the
World's Panama Exposition.
Mr. W. (). Hart, special representative
of New Orleans to the
Jamestown Exposition, suggested
taat a *1vanin Exposition Building

Volunteer subscriptions for
this purpose were promptly forthcopaing
to the amount of $200.
$10,000 will be needed for a building,
and sul>scriptions will l>e
received by Secretary M. B. Trezej
vanv, New ^Jrlcans.
Mr. Norman Walker discussed
, the benefits that have followed the
St. Iiouis Exposition, and poiated
J out that the permanet good resiLta
are calculated in hundreds of millions.
The opening of the Panama
canal should advance civilization
500 years.
Many other delegates told of the
direct interest their people were
taking in the matter.
Hon. H. E. Blakeslee, commissioner
of the Department of Agriculture
and Commerce of Missis
sippi, made a stirring little talk
promising cooperation in every way,
Mr. S. B. Sullivan, of Memphis,
put matters in concrete form by
offering the following resolutions
which were seconded b^ Mr. Rucks ;
Verger, of Gulf port, for the Missis- j
sippi delegation, nnJ then imamimously
adopted:
"Whereas, the opening of the
Panama Canal, connecting the Atlantic
ami Pacific Oceans, will be
an event of world-wide importance,
and,
"Whereas, the Government of
the United States in accomplishing 1
this stupendous ta.-k is benefitting
the entire civilized world, and adding
power, prestige and supremacy ,
to the United States of America,
and,
"Whereas, no section of the
United States of America will de-l
rive greater or more inimed^e'
Ixmefits than the States of the*Gulf, '
South*?' * Mississippi Valley and '
be t.rd*r? * omi 1
Grtat Lakes, Exposition '
Whereas, su j
will celebrate a conteniponiTjF' uv
complishment, and not 'a past
event, it is unique in the history of
the world's expositions, and,
"Whereas, this colossal accomplishment
should l>e properly celei
brated by the people of the world
| in a manner l>efitting its world's
importance; be it therefore
"Resolved, That we, the delegates
of Southern States assembled
at New Orleans, June 27, 11)07, do
, hereby indorse and approve and

"Resolved, 'That as the energy
and determination of Theodore
Roosevelt, President of the United
States, are largely responsible for
giving us the opportunity to celei
brate this event, the thanks of the
Conference be extended him. It is
further,
"Resolved, That the newspapers
of New Orleans, the South and of
the country be thanked for the liberality
of their support in this
enterprise, and are respectfully requested
to publish the resolutions
i herewith."
The matter of financing the enterprise,
which will require many
millions of dollars, was left to the
New Orleans Committee of bankers
and businessmen, which will in the
near future take definite steps looking
to the organization of a permanent
exposition company.
Ksperanto Gaining In Favor.
According to United States Consul
n. L. Spahr of Breslau, Esperanto,
the new "universal language," is not
to repeat the fiasco of Volapuk. Says
the consul:
All over the world trade associations,
tourist clubs, scientific societies and other
language. Whenever an International
congress Is held the need for such a language
Is recognized and discussed. An
International committee Is being formed,
which Is to select a universal auxiliary
language subject to thu following gener\[
ally accepted limitations:\It must bo able
to servo the needs of dftllV h'o. the demands
of trade and comtnerce and tha
purposes of science. It must be easy for
people of average education to learn. It
should not be one of the living national
languages. If the committee adopt a
i language It Is almost cortaln to bo Es1
per j n to.
Esperanto Is a language with few
rules and no exceptions, no Irregular
verbs; with a pronunciation, accent
j and spelling that can be learned In ono
lesson and with a small vocabulary.
' many of whose wonls learners already
t know or can guess. Besides. It Is clear,
rtexlble and rather sonorous. Mr.
i Spallr adds;
There aret Esperanto groups In the
twenty-four leading cities of Germany,
and new ones are forming. Thsro aro In
the world about groups, besides sixty
trade or scientific organizations, whoss
members either are all Esperantlsts or
use Esperanto when writing to a member
In another country. Fourteen periodicals
are printed wholly tn Esperanto, seven
1 teen partly, and nineteen well known
Journals devote more or less space to
Esperanto articles. In recent times eight
International business or professional congreases
have recommended or adopted Esperanto
as the language to be used.
American exporters should not be behind
If Esperanto be selected. Favorable action
by them will hasten its adoption. Indifference
may give their trade rivals an
advantage. Our manufacturers may
wake up some day to seo English, Frpnch
and German salesmen running over the
world, glibly talking Esperanto wherever
they go and taking large orders.
Tills Is no exaggeration, for Esperanto
is being tauglit in ninny Japanese
schools, and Peru publishes an Esperanto
Jouruul.

Mrs. Booth's Prison League.
Mrs. Ballihgtou Booth's seheme for
' the reformation of criminal convicts
strikes nt the very founilutiou of
| morals. She iusisis that crime to the
average convict lias been only an lu,
ctdent, a sudden temptation and a
mistake. She lias established a league
which in the course of its teu years of
existence has been Joined by over 40,- |
I 000 prisoners, who declare upon Join- !
i lng that they want to lead a better
life,
After ten years of trial the officers
of'the American Volunteers are convinced
that membership in the league
makes a better behaved prisoner dur- !
inf Incarceration. The work of the
I tatfie ends at the outward opening
! do<y of the prison, when the second
pli#.se of reform work Is entered ui>on. i
Ex-convlcts are taken In hand by the
vohiiteers and put upon honest feet
ngnll, and out of 4,000 brought under
the loolety's guardianship the major!j
t.v, jlrs. Booth says, have done right, i
"Miiiy have made splendid records
, nndjhave so thoroughly lived down the
pa?f that they are today living In happy
homes, trusted In their work by
tli#r employers and found worthy to
i Wfflve back their cIMxenshlp."
^Experience is the beyt teacher, and if
tt? criminals see the) error of drifting
aid yielding and bflng a law unto ,
tlemselves there Is no reason to doubt
tlelr sincerity when they take the
| phdge of reform. "A burned child
divide the Ore," and, while with some
coivlet converts It niny be a case of
, "dathbed repentance," the chances
an that the majority mean to lie done
wth lawbreaklng. This Is the philanthropist's
opportunity, and Mrs. Booth
siys, "If I were asked how we can
i b?t help the discharged prisoner, how
cm | be be saved from returning to
prsin, I should answer without liesltaii&i,
'Begin before his discharge.'"
