SAY YOURSELF.
Can A Pistol Cartridge be 4 Rife
Cartridge?
News and Courier.

News and Courier.
One of the Funniest questions with which
the Administration, so to speak, has TO con-
tend is the pistol cartridge business. The
mail always brings an inquiry Or two
on the perennial subject. About ten thous-
and answers have been sent and almost every
possible phase OF the law has been discussed.
The only remaining conundrum now is
whether pistol cartridge which will flt q
rifle and fired from the latter IS a rifle car
fridge or u pistol cartridge? The latest in
Quiry on the cartridge c0nundrum is as follows
and is seli-eXpianatory
L. Rosenberg K Co. Abbeville, s. C.,-Dear
Sir: In your letter of the 20th inst to the At
iridges will be allowed to be sold without q
special license, and what kind Is forbidden:'
In answer beg to say that the Attorney Cen
eral, in q recent opinion, decided that the
sale Of pistol cartridges without a license Is
forbidden by law. This / deem Il sufficient
answer to any question of law involved In
your inquiry, but the the scope of the Inquiry
seems to extend further and embraces in sub
stance the question: What is q pistol car.
fridge us distinguished from rifle car
fridge?
This is question Of fact, and in its solution
the Attorney General, although fully appre
ciatlng your laudable desire to do right, Will
be unable TO render you any assistance. In
violated in any case by the sale of cartridges
the decision must depend on the facts of that
case The question will be was the cartridge
sold pistol cartridges or a rifle cartridge,
and its determination may require much tes-
timony and that OF skilled experts. very re-
spectfully. ID. A. Townsend,
Assistant Attorney General.

means time tiieS.''
Let it be understood that this editor, in re-

irrigation every farm might have its wood
lot" and the question of fuel would soon
be most satisfactorily settled.
AS with trees so with small fruit. The
acreage could and would be largely in
creased, and the uncertainty almost wholly
removed. Experience amply demonstrates
this. Whether equally good results would
follow with apples, ETC., cannot say, but
the experience OF other states, together
with the fact that in the older parts OF
South Dakota fine apples and even fine
peaches are grown in small quantities
nearly every year. leads me to be hopeful
Of good results in this direction also.
To summarize, then, the benefits OF irri-
CATION, we have:
I. More eqUalizcd rainfall.
.. More abundant dews.
3. The power OF hot winds lessened.
4. One hundred per cent. increase In
yield of crops.
5. Certainty of a crop every year.
6. More diversified farming.
2. Improvement in quality and quantity
of stock.
8. Greater success in fruit culture.
0. Abundance of timber.
And as q result Of all these:
10. A smaller crop of mortgages.
