A New York special Of Tuesday
says: "A morning newspaper has
interviewed many Of the prominent
physician rs well as members OF the
Health Board on the probability Of .
cholera outbreak this summer in
the United States. A careful re-
view Of what these medical experts
say leads to the conclusion that .
cholera epidemic is not probable.
There is IN almost unanimous be-
lief that we will have some cases
Of cholera during the hot months.
The doctors, however. point out
very clearly the reasons why these
sporadic cases are not likely to be-
come epidemic. Health Commits
sioner Cyrus Edison says there is
not one chance in . hundred that
cholera could gain . foothold here;
DR.. LOOMS has full faith in our
strict quarantine regulations. and
does not believe any cases will
reach our port; DR.. John A.
Fordyce considers an uncontamina-
ted water supply Of more imp0r-
lance even than our quarantine,
and DIR. Janeway advises everybody
to be prepared for the worst

THE SUGAR BOUNTY.

Whatever ones views may be ~
to the sugar bounty law, there Can
be no doubt that it is having the ef.
feet at which it aimed Of increasing
the production Of domestic sugar.
The report of the Sugar Bureau
shows large increase Of production
last year, and the promise is for q
still greater increase next season.
The last crop of cane was quite q
large one, but there is an increase
this season Of between % and 30
per cent in the acreage Of cane,
which, with reasonably favorable
weather, will assure us one Of the
largest crops ever known. The
production Of beet sugar, 1t is con-
6dently predicted, will be
doubled; and there is even an in
crease in maple sugar. The proba-
bilities are, therefore, that the
production Of sugar Of al varieties
this year will be greater than ever
known before in this country. This
is due, Of course, mainly to the
bounty law, which has had the same
effect in America that . similar
law had in France, of establishing
the beet sugar industry in that
and enabling Europe TO
raise enough sugar TO supply it's
needs and even enough for export,
whereas it formerly depended
on the West Indies. It must be
admitted. therefore, in any discus
sion that may arise on the bounty
law, that it has accomplished its
purpose Of stimulating the pro-
duct,on Of domestic sugar.-Times-

THE SOUTH CAROLINA
LIQUOR LAW.

South Carolina will go into the
liquor business early next month.
We have already called attention
to the very peculiar liquor law
passed at the last session Of Caro-
linas Legislature. which makes the
sale Of liquor q State monopoly.
The business is placed under the
control Of State dispensary. with
> given number Of country and 10
cal dispensaries in the several
country districts and towns.
The law is SO stringent that the
saloon keepers have concluded that
it will not pay them to disobcy it.
They will test its cOnstitutiOnality
in the courts, but in the meanwhile
they will not violate the statute.
but will allow tire Governor to
peaceably carry out the project
and test its merits.
Gov. Tillman has recently visit
ed Kentucky for the purpose Of
purchasing supplies Of liquor for
the State; and he and the liquor
commissioners have taken special
pains, it is said, to secure only the
best brands. Whatever the result of
the new systefh may he, it will have
the effect Of guaranteeing the South
Carolinians . purer quality of liquor
than they have been in the habit Of
drinking.
1t is claimed in behalf of the
South Carolina plan that it will en-
able the State to control the liquor
bus mess, and minimize its evil ef-
fects. 1t will, for instance, reduce
the number of barrOOms and the
amount Of liquor consumed, and
assure q better quality being sup
Piled the people. 1t is further
claimed that, as the saloons con-
tribute materially to the amount
Of crimes committed, it is only
right that the state should secure
the profit from the business and
apply it TO police and similar pro-
tective purposes.
The experiment will be watched
with interest. 1t is not entirely
novel. but it has never been tried
on as large scale as is proposed
to test it in South Carolina. Forty
years ago Indiana adopted the sys-
tenn, which proved q failure there,
but it was not properly tried. On
the other hand, it was pronounced
. success in Sweden, and has been in
force in several districts Of Georgia
lately, where it seems to have given
satisfaction. We have experiment.
ed = great deal in whisky legisla.
ton in this country, but it is doubt
ful il any class will be permanent

the State keeps bar, and where all

Roads.

The country roads are having
more talk placed upon them than
ever before, and we hope it may soon
give place to stones. The city papers
are in a high fever just now and
on the subject of
roads are solicited from all quarters.
We find In Mondays american the
following from Mr.. FL. II Halnes:
PRESIDENT HAINEs sPEAKs-HE CON
sIDERs THE ROAD QUESTION OF
GREAT IMPORTANCE.
The views of H. H. Haines, Esq,
president of the National Bank of
Rising Sun, Cecil county, being
solicited on the road question, that
gentleman writes as follows:
"In regard to country roads, l
consider 1t matter of far greater
Importance than four ffths of the
clap trap and stuff that politicians
pyate about from one years end to
.lotber.
II am in favor of the government
taking the management and control
of the leading highways of the
country, and bringing them up to
such q degree of perfection that will
be a credit to our country, instead OF
a disgrace, as they are now.
SIN this section of Cecil county
there is little or no sand, and the
character of the roads is such that
they are simply unfit for travel after
long season of rain and after the
frcsts of winter have gone Some
roads at times become impossible
We have a great many stones, and
even when we should haye good
roads they are not kept clear OF
loose stones, which are great
nuisance.
ut would be impossible to esti-
mate the result of our bad roads in
the demoralizing effect Of such 8
condition Of things upon a commu-
nifty and the cost in wear and teaT
upon teams, besides the inconven-
ience it occasions, together with
the depreciation in the value of real
estate. If it were possible to make
an estimate it would be alarming.
"The magnificent roads that lead
from one prominent point to another
in Europe seem to favor one remedy
and that is macadamization.'

A Natural Luxury.

An Eastern man, while travelling in
the Northwest, stopped for time with
family in North Dakota 1t was in
July, and clear, cold water-a luxury
he did not often find-was most accep-
table. The water on the table was so
sweet and so very cold that he was led
to remark on its excellence. Yes, our
well has always satisfied us, and we
think we have good thing when we
can draw ice water in midsummer.
We will show you our refrigerator af-
ter dinner" After dinner out they went
and the New England man was asked
TO look down. 1t was q round small
brick shaft, much like the old wells
seen hereabouts, and went down to an
extraordinary depth. But there was a
beautiful sight at the bottom. 1t was,
sure enough, a natural ice water tank.
Pieces of clear ice foated in the water,
and close look showed thick coat
ing of ice all around the sides for quite
distance above it, The explanation
was simple enough. When the bucket
is drawn up little of the water al,
ways spills or drips, and often strikes
the sides of the we'll as it falls. In the
winter-and Dakota winters are cold
this water at once freezes, and soon the
entire length of the shaft is lined with
ice. This thickens at an increasing
gate, and it is frequently necessary to
cut it away with an axe to make room
in which the bucket can slide up and
down. In the spring this begins to
melt, and the ice falls to the bottom,
The farther down, the slower is the
process of melting.
