Another oyster Case Decision. The
general oyster law Of this State provides that
residents Of the counties shall not ALLOW non
residents to use their boats for taking oysters
with tougs in the waters Of the different
counties. A resident Of Dorchester county
was brought before the Circuit Court of that
county recently on the above charge The
court decided that the general oyster law reg
ulaung longing in dle State provides no pen
atty for the Infringement Of the law in the
manner above mentioned The nonresident
parties who had employed the boat in taking
oysters were also before the court, on charge
Of taking oysters from Dorchester waters, be-
ing at the time non-residents The court de-
'tded that the oyster law WAS also deficient in
providing penalty TO meet their cases. The
decision will prove Of much interests to oys-
termen generally throughout the State.

Prohibition that Does mol Prohibit.

The prOhibitiOnists of Atlanta.
Ga, are indignant over the eva.
sion by the prOprietors of the
Kimball House Of the prohibition
law which went into effect in that
city July LIST. The proprietors of
the Kimball purchased an unex.
pired wholesaler liquor license, which
permits them to sell by the quart
until October Q, and have thrown
their bar open for the sale ofwhisky,
wine and beer by the quart, and as
consequence there is a perfect
rush on the bar by the thirsty
GeOrgians, who had been deprived
for whole week Of their morning,
noon and evening "smiles,p as we'll
as the "nightcap" to which they
had been so long accustomed. The
mode of procedure is thus explain
ed: An ante.roOm opens to the bar.
This is stored with barrels Ofwhisky,
wine and beer, and a refrigerator
holding four kegs of beer. Several
men are constantly engaged at this
refrigerator dealing out the beer in
quarts. Behind the bar proper sew
eral men are kept busy rinsing
pitchers and glasses, which they
set upon the counter. A man comes
in, takes a pitcher, goes to the adj.
joining room, gets quart of beer
and comes back to the bar, where
he and his friends provide them.
selves with glasses, and, standing
in a group, they drink and make
merry. The new scheme went into
operation Thursday, and was an
immense success financially. The
bar was crowded all day, and over
fifty kegs of beer were emptied.-I
Whisky is sold in the same way,
only quart flask takes the place
of the pitcher. The Kimball man.
ayers claim that they are proceed
ing according to law, and under
legal advice, but the
prohibitionists are counsellng to.
gether to devise some means to |
close the bar.

The death on the Sth inst. of Hon.
William ii. Cole, the Representa-
tive in Congress OF the third dis.
trict of Maryland, though not un.
expected, came sooner than was
anticipated by his friends. His
life was an active and varied one.
On the breaking out Of the civil
war he entered the Confederate
army and served till the close of
hostilities. From 1866 to 1883 he
was connected in various capacities
with the press, and during the
larger part of that period filled ac-
ceptably responsible offices in the
gift of the city council and House
of Delegates. Elected to the Forty
ninth Congress, he served his con.
stituents to the best of his ability,
occupying q prominent and honor.
able position among his colleagues
from his. State as the friend and
supporter of the Cleveland admin.
istratlon. His failing health pre-
vented, however, his taking the
active part in the work of the past
session that his zeal prompted,
and some six weeks ago the dis.
ease that finally brought on his
death compelled him to abandon
attendance at the sessions of the
House.

The Largest Man In The U. S. Senate.

A correspondent questions an al
fusion in this paper to Judge David
DAVIS as "the largest man who ever
occupied seat in the United States
Senate Dixon III. Lewis, who rep
resented Alabama in the Senate
from 1914 to 1858, was a huge man,
and probably larger than Davis
was in his biggest days; for he had
lost much flesh in the last few years
of his life. Speaking of Lewis, our
correspondent gives an instance of
his gallantry. Until about 1916 the
United States mail between VIII.
mington, n. c., and Charleston, s.
c., was carried by sea-steamers,-
One moonlight night the two YES
sells, going in opposite directions,
got into collision, and it was soon
found that one was sinking. The
mails and passengers on board were
transferred to the other vessel, and
the last man to leave the sinking
ship was Hon. Dixon Ii. Lewis,
who waited till all the others were
for fear OF capsizing the boat
used i'm the transfer.-Phild. Bulle-
tin.
