In the Lancaster (S. C.) dispensary election, out of a total of 1,082 votes cast, there were only 126 for the G. M. I., while 956 were cast for prohibition.

In Cincinnati , an outraged husband ias been awarded $10 a week alimony oy a terms adds: matter whether they endorse the views expressed or not. They include the views of others, and are worthy of candid and serious consideration. We quote: "The "Washington Times has an edi torial on the subject of Italian immi gration to the south, In the course of which it quotes Mr. L. J. Bryant of Kentucky, who opposes the move ment. He holds that the negroes of the south are able to keep pace with the other races of men, and tells us that 'the Italian holds human life lightly; that he carries yellow fever wherever he goes; and that the negroes now put out of employment . by the coming of the Italians will bring to a sudden and dangerous climax the whole ques tion of the negro's future.' Then he wants to know why any one 'should want to turn the south upside down?' To this the Times says, in part: . "The Italian, viewed at his worst, does not hold human life any more lightly he could not than the negro viewed at his worst, and the south' is reaching' after, the Italian whose life at home warrants faith that he will obey the law when 'he makes a new home somewhere else. He does not carry yellow fever anywhere in Amer ica unless the American health authori ties are criminally negligent1. As for the negroes put out of employment by the coming of the Italian, they will do. when that issue arises, what they ought, to do now work six days' in the week. "Whether the Italians are to supply the labor that the south needs and must have, or whether it is to come from other races is a question not yet settled, but certain it is that the negro labor is not satisfactory and that it is becoming less so every year. To what cause this is to be ascribed we do not say, but from all portions of the south we hear the same complaints and all speak of similar conditions. The con census of all these authorities is that the negroes are yearly becoming more unreliable as laborers and that the cot ton and cane growers must shortly look elsewhere for labor. "We are aware that one of the objec tions advanced by many thoughtful people to the bringing in of while labor is that it will deprive the negroes of all opportunity to work and that they will then become a burden on communi ties and a constant menace to the peace of the country and the welfare of the whitest Possibly that objection is well taken, but what then? The law of toil is universal. It was the bur den laid on our first parents, and it has clung to their descendants ever since. The fortunate few who can afford to live in idleness may do so. but to the great mass of humanity a life Of toil iS the nrif hat rviiio jr w iiiuob 1 paid for existence. time is coming fast when the negroes of the south must work, starve or leave. The patience of the southern people has been strained to the break ing pointand it is bound to give way." It has already been , announced that there is to be a coal miners' strike next spring; but now comes President Mitchell and says he sees no reason why it should come. However, as such things are often a matter -of "business with the agitators, Mr. Mitchell may change his mind by next spring. spirit nrecluded submission.

Can Do No Good In tht South (Roanoke News.) We do not .believe "that the "Clans man" can dp any good in the soxith. It has a tendency to stir the old fires of hatred and prejudice. The Ku Klux Klan was, perhaps, a necessity forty years ago, but not in these days of peace, when we are a united people, when the north and the south friave clasped hand over the bloody chasm, and have cemented the compact by a baptism of fire and blood on the Wins low at Cardepas, at Santiago and San Juan heights, and. in thousands of oth tr ways In which men who f oi'merly wore the gray and those who wore the blue have shown to the world that they are, indeed brothers. We op pose anything and everything that can in any way havea tendency to excite sectional hatred and race prejudice and it is our candid opinion that the "Clansman" will stir the old slumber ing fires' of both and start anew the old time memories that should be for ever buried out of sisrht.

TOM DIXON'S MISTAKE Who - Redeemed the Southland From Republi can Rule and Oppression? (Columbia State.) Enthusiasm for the creature of his vivid imagination has caused Mr. jjixon to run away with himself. His story of a "gigantic conspiracy" which "saved the south" is not taken from a page of our history. It is a fairy taie. We can assure Mr. Dixxon and tha people of tu. t ountry that no "law less band" is due credit for , saving South Carolina f f om negro rule and a mongrel population. His admira tion for the fancied achievements of a lawless band" is but poor compli ment to the iren who fought in the open and won rhite supremacy.
