THE S ATE RUM MILLS
And 200 Blind Tigers in South
Carolina.

Carolina.
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 16.-The
morning paper of Charleston, S. c.,
special says: at looks very much
as though the iron hand of Gov.
Tillman is going to carry the dis
pensary law in this state to a sue
cess. The greatest opposition to
the law was in this city, and this
has apparently entirely disap-
peared. 1t requires Isl names
of freehold voters to es-
tablish a dispensary. Four APP
plicants have already filed their
petitions, and before the 1st of Sept.
there will probably be ten state
rum mills in full blast, besides 200
blind tigers that are now running
without trouble. Early in the
month an intimatiOn came from
the governor that he intended to
establish dispensaries in Charles
ton, whether freeholders wanted
them or not. Soon after that II.
E. Meyer filed his petition with
760 names, about 200 of which were
known freehOlders, the others hav-
ing evidently been copied from the
tax books, without consult
ing the owners, most OF
them being colored people.
Meyers got his appointment, no
effort being made by anyone to in
quire into the bonafideness of the
signatures. Then it leaked out
that a smart mulatto lawyer was
prepared to furnish the names of
colored taxpayers at so much per
name, and other petitions came in
rapidly, each of them having sig
natures of about 200 white taXpay-
ers who never refuse to sign any
petition presented to them, the re-
mainder are copied from list of
the colored taxpayers. A bluder
was made in one of their earlier
petitions, to which the lawyer
signed the name of Moses B. Saller,
bishop of the African Methodist
church. This provoked a protest
from the colored ministers of the
city, several of whose names were
also used, but the board of control
took no notice of it. The liquor
dealers seem to have given up the
fight, and make no effort to dis
pute the signatures to petitions,
although many of them are notori-
ously bogus and citizens are too
supine to care. The governor has
his own sweet will, and Charleston
is entirely under sway of state
barrooms, blind nights, etc.

Assoc GeZble, an Italian, was ar
raigned before Justice Griff Jones
this morning, on two charges, one
for forgery, and the other for pass

On July 3lst, Pablo Garcia sold
a horse to Gezble, for $3.50 The
latter handed him supposed $40

When Mr.. Garcia had occasion to
use the $40 bill, he found it to
be a 81 bill, having been
scratched, painted and linked, and
the figures 10' placed on it in
large figures. He reported the
matter to Deputy Sheriff Jim Nc
Closkey, who arrested the alleged
fOrger, last night. Gezble claims
he is innocent, but Garcia swears
positively that he is the right man.

BlOBBS' BLUFF WAS CALLED.

1t was late when Mr. Blobbs got up

around his bedroom like wild man.
When it came time for him to put on

and did not find what he wanted. he

TRIALS OF COPY READERS.
vassar Is Laying For Them with It's
journalistic Course.

What is TO become of the ublishers
and editors of the next generationP
asks the N. Y. San.
Even now the tide of manuscripts
surges in ever increasing volume
upon the editors of periodicals. And
after thousands of young men and
women have been graduated from
the journalistic courses which are now
established in many of the colleges,
the fate of these unhappy purveyors
of literature will be fearful to contem-
plate.
Here is the list of su bjects EN- braced
in one section of the journalistic course
at Vassar College. 1t will be seen that
no nook or Granny of the publishing
field will be safe from the pens of the
Vassar girls.
Fiction-A short story; children's
story; two or three chapters of serial
story.
Fanciful -Pastels; prose idyls.
Poetry-A short poem.
Descriptions of travel.
Enterprise Worlds Fair; Brooklyn
Bridge; Thompson Library; settle
ment of some Western town; college
settlement; description of some manu-
factory.

noted person whom you have known,
or about whom you have original
material.
Critical-Book review; article on
some feature of modern literature,

Scientific - An invention of your
own; an invention of some one else's;

plants.

life; an exhibition of paintings.

MAN AND WOMAN.
A Little Comparison Which Is All In Fn-
vor of the Latter.

Man Is a creature Of cast-iron meth
DDS; woman adapls herself to circum-
stances, says the n. Y. World.
A man refuses to drive nail unless
he has hammer. A woman does not
hesitate to use q poker or the heel OF
her shoe or the back Of a brush. Man
thinks it absolutely necessary to have
corkscrew to draw cork. Woman
gouges it out with her scissors or a
knife or a button-hook. II it won't
come out it will go down, and, after
all, the contents OF the bottle are what
Is wanted.
A man regards razor as conse-
Grated to one calling. A woman has
n higher opinion of its versatility and
uses it to sharpen pencils. This office
surreptitiously performed leads her
husband to say malignant things about
razors and their makers.
When man writes he demands
pomp and circumstance and as wide
an orbit rs one of the planets. Pen,
ink and paper must be "just so," and
he shuts up the whole family in
tower of silence and nobody is allowed
to think hard.

things he has been known to affirm
concerning pens this pen refuses to re-
