Waiting for tho First Gun.

COLUMBIA, S. G., January 22-It isget-
ting about time for the Evans teapot to
begin to boil. Nothing has been official
ly done about the matter in the last week
or two, but the present week gives abun-
dant promise Of being fruitful ofinterest-
ing events. In the first place, under the
provisions of the law, Governor Tillman
will within the next two days have TO ap-
point a commissioner to carry out the
provisions of the law. Then there is to
be convention of those interested in the
liquor business to be held in Charleston
on the Oath instant. These two happen
ings are calculated to make one believe
that the operations of the Evans bill are
being brought to direct issue. The
liquor men intend to look out for their
interests, and the State is about to strike
the first blow.
1t is not intended that the liquor mems
convention should be in the nature of a
"big blowout" and it is to be absolute
ly and entirely devoid of all political
significance. The liquor men simply
think that it is to their interests to meet
and talk over the situation, and il they
can legitimately make contest and
show the Evans law to be unconstitu-
tional it is their privilege to do 80. The
liquor men are somewhat divided as 10
what had best be done, and variety Of
ideas will be presented at the meeting
and discussed, and something definitely
done.
The general opinion now seems to be,
30 far as I can learn, to get four Of the
best lawyers in the State to undertake
the case for the liquor men. 1t is
thought that two Of these lawyers will
come from Charleston, one from Colum-
bia and one from Greenville. Judge
Sam W. Melton has been approached as
the representative of Columbia and will
no doubt be one of the counsel. Col. Jos.
H. Earle will perhaps come in for the
Greenville end of tho line, and as to
Charleston there is a division of opinion,
as there are so many very fine lawyers
there. Some want to employ A1essrs
Augustine IT. Smythe and G. Lamb
Buist, while others prefer Messrs. Mitch
ell & Smith. In making the selection
the association is especially desirous Of
eliminating all political significance, and
this may influence the choice of
the lawyers so far as Charleston is con-
cerned.
Now as to tho commissioner, who has
to be appointed before the 25th instant.
Some Of the more enthusiastic prohibi-
tionists, and for that matter many of the
liquor men, say that there will be no ne
cessity for the appointment ofa State
commissioner. Governor Tillman has
on file in his Office stack Of applications
for the position, and is in something Of a
quandary as to whom to appoint, as the
place is all important in the operations Of
the new law.
The commissioner is ito purchase all
intoxicating liquors for lawful sale in
this State" to supply the dispensers. He
has to put certificates on all liquors pur-
chased for sale. He has to give bond
for $4,000, and 1.-Two in Columbia. It
| would be impossible just yet to say who
is going to get the cake. From all that
can be learned it is. anybody's race to-day
and it is no use to do any guessing

expenditures, and partook of ali the bane-
ful influences attendant upon it.
These are appalling facts, but they are
only the "beginnings of SORROW" IF we
would obtain true picture of the fearful
work Of the destructive liquor traffic. we
should not simply look at its direful influ-
ence upon the State or National Govern
ment, but We must look to the private
homo, for there the green-eyed monster
does his most terrible work. He b]anches
the cheek Of the once fair maid that was
the light and joy of her fathers home. He
debauches the husband and sends him
reeling down the steps of time to drunk
ards grave before his allotted days are
more than half spent. He robs the chill
den of food and clothing, Of education and
respectability, and sends broken-hearted
mother to premature grave, leaving half
dozen half.starved, half naked, ignorant
orphan children to the cold charities of a
mercilesa world. The traffic furnishes
nine-tenEhs of the cases for our criminal
dockets, and fills our prisons, poor houses
and insane asylums With inmates. Surely
there is none so full Of bloodshed, woe
and misery! Verify, 1t is drunken with
the blood of our people. 1t ia veritable
scohrge.
These are the lamentable facts that
stirred our souls within us, and aroused
the intelligence of South Carolina and
prompted her noble sons to march to the
"poils" on the thirteenth Of last August to
vote for prohibition. Yes, with burdened
hearts and fearful eyes, we implored our

a paper on the subject of Good
Roads The paper was based on an
Act which will be presented to the
next legislature.
After several provisions for classi-
flying different kinds of roads, the
Act provides, "that such public thor
oughfares shall be made at least IL

with six inches of hard broken stone
of at least two inches mesh, protect

covered, to carry the water from the
side bitches. Broken stone need not
be laid as a covering where a firm
foundation of soil is securable without
it."
That cost of improvement shall be
made by County Surveyor and filed
in his Office, cost to be paid out of
the county treasury.
That when change of grade is neces-
sary shall draft the best plan or make
a survey for necessary re-laying and
exhibit the same to court, the court
shall then appoint three men not resi-
dents to view and relocate and the
matter shall then proceed as now al

"That whenever a respecta BILE num-

The Supreme Court has recently

fence law, called for in the case of
Barber against Mensch, sent up from
Union county, in reference to the
fence law now in force in Pennsylva

Judge Dean and the following points
were sustained 81. Since the pass
age of the Act of April a, 1880, re.
pealing the Act of 1900, no man is
required to fence against his neighbor's
cattle, but every person is legally
bound to restrain his own cattle. 2.
The Act of March II, 1S4a, provides
mode for ascertaining and fixing the
liability for the cost of a devision
fence between adjoining owners but
the absence of a fence, or an insult
hcIent fence, is no defense to an action
tor trespess against the owner of the
frespasslng cattle. 8. He who would
