Lecturing ON the Eartbauake.

Professor Mendenhall of the Signal Ser
vice delivered an interesting lecture on
earthquakes last evening at the Congrega-
tional Church before a select audience, in
cluding many scientific men. The lecture
was for the benefit Of the Charleston earth
quake sufferers. Professor Mendenhall as
sumed that the cause Of earthquakes was
displacement OF the earth's crust resulting
from the gradual process Of cooling or; 1t
was not incredible that planetary conditions
might at times so influence the tides as to
cause earthquakes, but an earthquake could
not be scientifically predicted. A number
of views taken In Charleston were ex-
hibited and the interest of the listeners was
held throughout the evening

LTOUOR LICENSES.
How They VIII Bo Obtained Under
the New order of Things.


the New order of Things.
The growth of the liduor traffic in
this city has probably surpassed that
of any other industry for several years.
During the past fiscal year $50 bar
room licenses were issued against $50
issued the previous year The increase
in the number of barroom licenses Is
partly due TO the fact that the "stove-
pipe" houses were to large extent
broken up, and places where beer was
sold by the pint under wholesale Ii.
Censes were required TO take out bar.
room licenses. This had the effect of
largely increasing the revenue from
the liquor traffic, as bar.room license
costs 800 and u wholesale license only
1926. The abolishment of the Liquor
License Board dcvolvcs an extra duty
on the Commissioners, who propose to
insist on rigid enforcement of the
liquor laws, and strict conformity
with the requirements of applicants
for licenses.
The Commissioners say there IS n
sort of local option in force here. which
can be exercised by any ncighborhood
that is opposed TO the sale of liquor,
for they have the power to prevent any
one from getting n license by simply
refusing to sign the application of the
person wanting license. This right is
exercised frequently, and then the
aspirant for bar-room license Is put
TO great disadvantage. Frequently
he gets no license. 1t frequently oc.
ours that he Is compelled to send his
application TO Europe to lct the
signature of n proplrly-owner on his
square, and II Is no infrcquent thing
for them to buy property aud pay cX.
orbitant prices for it so as tn have the
majority on their side. This is only
done, however. where a man has an
established business that pays him Il
large profit, and all Of II sudden, after
years of business in his old place, there
is fight made against his place. A
saloon. keeper few weeks ago bought
one house adjoining his place for Sl2.-
COO. simply To get license.
The Commissioners have prepared
the following form To be observed By
applicants for licenses to sell liquor by
the drink:

Sam Jones, colored, and NJ. J. sco-

the U. S. mail at Weatherford last
Friday night, and the case is now be-
ing heard by U. S. Commissioner Bu-
ford. The mail had been locked IN
room at the depot and some one with
a key opened the door and cut the
mail bag open and went through its
contents but there was no "booty"
there. 1t was water haul. 1t seems
that Sam Jones told the postmaster
and Others the next morning that he
knew something about it and said that
Scogins had key to the door. Jones
was bound over in the sum of $500 and
Scogins was dismissed.
