TO ABOLISH SOUTH CAROIJKA DISPENSARY. The South Carolina people seem to have become disgusted with the work ing of the dispensary. We see from the Charleston post that there is now pending In the legislature of that state a bill to return to the license system j not to the old, loose way of granting license to almost any. one who applies for the same and can pay the privilege tax, but for a well-regulated and close ly guarded plan for permitting the sale of liquors by individuals as private enterprise Instead of the state monop oly in the traffic. The Post says the bill provides for the abolishment of the dispensary, and it describes the terms of the measure as follows: The bill provides for a very close re striction -of the business of selling li quor, the regulations being practically the same as now applied to the dispen- rary. The license fee i3' fixed high and tesides this every dealer who may en gage in the sale of liquor, under the act. must furnish a bond to guarantee his compliance with the terms of the law. The executive authority Is to have a very close 'supervision of the whole- business and Is given authority to close up establishments when the public good may be served by such act. Es lishment of the system is to be onlj upon the declared wish of communities, at regularly provided elections, the lo cal option idea being carefully, worked cut In the provisions of the measure. The (Post thinks that it is a measure which promises reform of real value. There seems to have been great re action of late in public sentiment re garding the dispensary in that state. Many of those who a few years ago thought it was going to be the salva tlon of the state, morally and finan cially, have turned against it. They were honest and sincere in the stand they took at first and are equally so now. They have found that a state dispensary is not what they thought it was as a means of producing sobriety and moral reform. In this class are many church members and even the official bodies of the churches have changed front on the question. These people are as strong advocates now of temperance as they were when advo eating the state dispensary, but expe rience and observation have shown them they were mistaken. Like honest, con servative men they admit their mis take and seek other methods for the accomplishing of the sood they are striving after. TREE PLANTING ON ROADS. PUBLIC The question as to shade trees for the public roads is again stirring up the people of Mecklenburg. The Char lctte Chronicle urges tha planting of fruit trees. We would suggest to The Chronicle that if it succeeds in having Its ideas on this subject adopted i should also advocate appropriate, leg islation for the cheapening of physi clans' DrescriDtions and the cost of those medicines usually administered in cases of surfeit of green fruit by the small boy. The Chronicle tells us tha several years ago this same -question was up before the county authorities and that it came near being put into effect. The question then arose, as now, as to what kind of trees should be used. Rev. Dr. Stagg made a strong fight for the walnut and was about to carry his point, but a populist on the itoard declared at a meeting that his party people, which then controlled the county government, would have"silver' maples or no trees to adorn the beau tif ul macadam roads of their county Then, says The Chronicle, ensued wrangle and the meeting adjourned to the delight of the populists and the disgust of the democrats. That was the end of the tree nlantiner project. We hope the tree planting advocates wi be more successful this time. It would be well for all the counties in the state which are building good roads to giv this matter attention.

Eacrc the Tta Yon Hara Always Bcsgji IS IT REVOLUTION? Is it revolution in Russia? Do the bloody scenes in the streets of St.' Pe tersburg; of last . Sunday ' mean that Russia is to go through France's ffear- ful experiences with her revolution. her reign of terror and the com mune? The' conditions in Russia at the present day are very similar to those In France Just preceding the outbreak of the revolution which astounded and horrified the civilized world in the closing days of the Eighteenth century- There is the same arrogance of royalty, and the aristocracy, the same grinding down into the lowest depths of poverty and misery of the lower classes, the same assumption by the former of the God-given right to rule and, to dominate their less for tunate fellow-citizens, the same offen sive assumption of the divine right of the king to rule and to tyrannize over his people, to extort from them the last farthing in the way of burden some taxes and unjust exactions in order that he his nobles and favorites may revel In extravagant and bestial luxury. On the other side of the picture are reproduced the same conditions of the French peas antsa whole nation down-trodden, humiliated, treated more as wild and savage beasts who require the lash and the prison cage to teach them tractability and submission to their self-appointed superiors, than as fel lew beings and men made, like them selves, after God's own image. In France this inhuman process con tinued until the people could stand it no longer. In their desperation they arose against their oppressors. They at last realized that death was pref erable to life under such conditions. Successful resistance . against years of tyranny opened their eyes to the pos sibility of revenge for what they and their people had suffered for genera tions, and how fearfully they wreaked that vengeance and what demons the sight of the blood of their oppressors made of them make up the bloodiest annals of modern history. It looks as if Russia was about to puffer France's experience in the throwing off of the yoke of despotic rule. The conditions of oppression are not the only similarities in the two countries just preceding the revolu tions. In France the first serious con flict was brought about by the people trying to force themselces into the presence of their king that they might lay their grievances before him per I sonally and receive his assurances ol relief from their burdens, just as was attempted in St. Petersburg last Sun day. Again, the French revolution be gan in the reign of a monarch of less mental vigor than his several imme diate predecessors and who was in clined to take some steps to amelior ate the sufferings of his people, who by slackening the tight reins which their former rulers had held over the people give them the opportunity for taking the first steps which overthrew his throne and brought himself and thousands of others to the scaffold. Just so it is today in Russia. Nicholas II is not the man of brains or of iron t nerves as have been the other Ro manoff rulers. He has governed his people, or tried to do so with a less heavy hand. He has been Inclined to grant the lower class privilges that have been denied them heretofore. The concessions have apparently come too late. He was not able to hold the tight reigns that his ancestors did, nor to relax them in such a way as to grant the relief desired and, to all apperances, wished for by himself, without arousing the long pent-up pas sions and thirst for revenge by the masses of laborers and peasants. The agitation which culminated in the fearful slaughter in St. Peters burg on. Sunday at first appeared to be only an ordinary industrial up heaval, such as we often have in this country a strike of factory hands for higher wages and shorter hours of work per day. If this was its true nature at first it soon took on political and revolutionary features. The revo lutionists found the conditions ripe for. their schemes. Conditions have passed beyond the limits of an indus trial uprising and the men who en tered into it thinking that to be Its ob JUST ONE WORD that word tsS it refers to Dr.Tutt's Liver Pills ana STEAMS HEALTH. -" Are yoa constipated?

Some of the circumstances connected with the manner of bringing about present conditions indicate strongly that the leaders of the movement had been working secretly to bring about just what has happened, knowing all along that if the people were to follow their advice and instructions thinking they were merely going to petition the czar to redress their grievances, the out come would be such treatment of the people as to make them willing and desperate tools of the conspirators against the government. No matter what the original pur pose of those leaders," they have in augurated what from present appear ances will develop into a general up rising of the peasants and middle classes and a fearful revolution. VULNERABILITY OP THE SOUTH. Every Important move on the inter national chess board seems to have harmful effect on the southern states of America. Take the serious events of late the iBoxer uprising in China,' the Russian-Japanese war and now the threatened revolution in Russia all have tended to suppress the foreign de mand for the chief staple product of the south. Should this disturbance in Russia assume the proportions of a general revolution Russia's export of wheat to other countries of Europe would be greatly curtailed, if it did not entirely cease, and most likely every cotton factory in that vast em pire would suspend operations. The demand for American wheat and corn by Europe would be increased, while that for cotton would fall "off, perhaps to the extent of the consumption of the Russian factories. All disturbances of international trade with the United States seems to work injuriously to the south and for the good of the other sections of our country. The prosper ity of the south -depends upon the de mands frcm , other countries to a larger extent, than of any section of the United States. The reason is we suppose that we came nearer having a monopoly of the production of our staple product than does any other sec tion. fWe have less competition in that from other sections of the world thaa do the producers of any other Ameri can product and it is a commodity whose consumption is quickly affected by serious disturbances in the countries which draw their supply from us. THE MISSOURI SISXATOHSHIP. The republicans of the Missouri leg islature have got the . matter of elec tion of a senator to succeed Senator Cockrell in a muddle. We suppose the republicans of that state are so little used to managing state affairs that they do not know what to do with thQ victory they won last fall. There is a most remarkable state of affairs in the legislature on the senatorial ques tion. On the taking of the vote sep arately in the two houses last Tues day the nominee of the republican cau cus received enough votes to secure the election, but when the two houses met in joint session the next day, as the law requires, to confirm the separate votes enough republicans bolted the caucus nomination and voted for an other person to defeat the action of the republicans on the separate votes, and thus the matter stands. The man who was the nominee of the party control ing the legislature andwho got enough votes in the two houses balloting sepa rately connot secure a majority of the votes of the legislators on joint ballot This is a remarkable state of affairs and one that we suppose was never be fore witnessed in the election of a United States senator. We have known the caucus nominee of the ruling party to be defeated of the election by the bolting of members of his party and joining with their political enemies In the election of some other person. A notable case of this kind was when in 1873 seventeen democrats in the North Carolina legislature bolted the caucus nomination of Hon. Z. B. Vance and, with the assistance of the republican legislators, elected Hon. A. G. Merri mon in place of their party nominee. But we have never heardT" of a case where the candidate for" senator, after receiving enough votes on separate ballots was unable to secure the elec tion on the joint ballot of the two houses. It Is a very peculiar state of affairs the bolting republicans have brought about in the Missouri legisla ture.

(Special toThe Messenger.) ..-, Raleigh, N. c.. January 23.-omnui- sioner of Agriculture Patterson left to day for New Orleans, to attend the con vention of cotton growers. Both Hail Insurance Companies, which have had offices here, have gone into receivers hands. Insurance Com missioner Young says he was after them on account of complaints of non-payment of losses. One company claimed that it had been unable to collect prem iums, and so could not pay until it did so. While the other company, a Min nesota concern, made North Carolina premiums pay losses in this state. It was sued and a receiver was appointed for it. Other company applied for re ceiver. - This ends both companies.

Six years ago I had a severe attack oi Inflammatory Rheumatism. I was laid tip in bed for six months, and the doctors I bad did me no good. They changed med icines every week and nothing they pre scribed seemed to help me. Finally I be gan the use of S. S. S. My knee and elbow joints were swollen terribly, and at one time my joints were so swollen and pain ful that I could not close them when opened. I was so bad that I could not move knee or foot. I was-getting discour aged, you may be sure, when I began S. S. 5., but as I saw it was helping me I con tin ned it, and to-day I am a sound well man and have never had a return of the disease. S. S. S. purified my blood and cured me of this severe case of Rheumatism after everything else had failed. I have rec commended it to others with good re sults. R. H. Chapman. 1355 Mt. Vernon Ave. The poisonous acids that produce the in-' fiammation and pain are absorbed into the blood and Rheumatism can never be con quered till these are neutralized and fil tered out of the blood and system. S. S. S. goes directly into the circulation and at tacks the disease itself. It purifies and re stores the blood to a healthy, vigorous condition. It contains no potash, alkali or other strong min erals, but is guar anteed entirely vegetable. Write ns and our physi cians will advise without any charge whatever. Our bok on Rheu matism sent free.
