a Terrible Mistake.

JASPER, Ala, April 2l.-Mr. Rich
McGough, who lives near the Winston
county line, made mistake last Wed
nesday, which cost him the life of his
promising sixteen-year-old son, George.
Father and son were turkey hunting.
After entering some woods together they
separated and reconnoitered in different
directions. The father heard turkey,
which he called up once or twice almost
within shooting distance. The son heard
his father calling and mistaking him for
a turkey slipped up close 70 where the
sound came from. When he was we'll
within shooting distance. Mr.. McGougb,
seeing movement in the underbrush
and supposing it was the bird he had
called up, fred, killing his son instantly,
O load of buckshot having taken effect in
his breast. The father is almost crazed
over the horrible accident.

.aE DSspENsAaY Law UNcoNsrIEu-
TIONAL.

The decision of the Supreme Court IN
ss6e Disl,ensary cases was filed in colum-
s sbia last Thursday, declaring the law 'in-
constitutional. The decision was ron
dared by Chief Justice McIver, and was
Sooncnrred in by Justice MCGOWAN. JUS
tics Pope rendered q dissenting opinion.
) Tha QUESTION, Of the constitutionalitv OF
! the law came from an appeal from de-
cision of Judge Hudson, who declared
J stheiaw wunconstitntional in p case heard
by hi1a In; Darlington several months
aso. The decision of the Supreme Court
snstains every point made by Judge
{ Hudson against the law.
ehyerlng The opinion Chief Justice
AfclEyer holds that the Dlspensary Law
violatea two articles of the Constitution,
namely the tirss and the fourteenth. The
ffrst declares all men free and equal with
fright OF enjoying liberty and property,
aud the fourteenth guarantees every man
against being deprived Of his right to en-
eaRe In any lawful business. The traffic,
and liquor itself, is not unlawful. and the
law which forbids citizen from eDgag-
! ing in it, when the State is allowed
to conduct Che same business, is null and
void. 6
The ssourt considers the two Acts OF the
General Assembly OF 1892 and 1893 to be
idonticaI in principle, and declares the
law ia ;sll its features, with the exception
Of the enc clause prohibiting the licensing
Slof the sale OF iiquor, as being. unconstitu-
/ tionaI null and void. We presume the
people now hssls what they asked for
prohibltion, pure and simple, and We
urge or city fathers to see that the Law
s Is strictly carried out. By the ordinance
forbiddsng the Illicit sale Of whiskey,
they have the means Of enforcing prohi-
sbition IN Anderson, and in doing so they
win have the cooperation and sympathy
of NEARLY all Of our people.
The decision Of the Supreme Court has
been aiixious,y awaited by the people OF
ths State, and is in accordance with the
sviews Entertained by the most learned
lawyers OF. every Bar in South Carolina.
The Dispensaries throughoutthe State
have been closed by the State Board, and
I iti is NOT known what action the support
sers or the Dispensary law win take
re!ativis to the decision Of the Supreme
Court.

until there ia change in the complexion
Of the Supreme Court.
Another suggestion made during the
day was that the Attorney General would
very probably ask for rehearing OF the
case, and in chat way haye the dispensa-
riss reopened, and just here 1t may be
we'll to put this suggestion down for
future reference, as something may hap
pen In this line very shortly. The situa-
ton is liable to change at any time, and
until the horrible uncertainty ts over no
one knows where the State Is at.

for long time before they could get 9

with the stock on hand. When tho State
officers are asked what is going to be
done with the stock they reply that it
will keep and improve with age. Some
suggest that an effort will be made to sell
1t in bulk to the dealers and others that
1t will have to be returned to the sellers.
From legal standpoint i is held that the
liquor can be sold by the State at cost
provided it does not enter into oompeti-
tion with it's citizens.
AS to the amount of stock that is left on
hand no one can tell exactly what it is.
Suppose, however, guess is made at il
from practical standpoint and it would
be something like thisi 1t is to be sup
posed that the stock on hand at the main
Dispensary and those throughout the
State will aggregate as much as 1t did
when the quarterly stock was taken for
the quarter ending February l. At that
time the stock OH hand in Columbia was
S55,75S.O3. Add 70 this the amount of the
balance from the County Dispensers $685.
779 Sc, say less than 80 per cent, for profit
to the State, and 1t will be seen that the
unseld stock Of liquor belonging to the
State is something over 100000. Then
some Of the new Nispensaries haye been
given large stocks, but to 0ounter4ot this
10 tho showing aome of the pispensaries
have kept their balances as low as posi-.
BILE. In the meanwhile pending the
deliberations of the Administration a
pretty good sized rent bill will be piled
up, and what insurance can be obtained
viii have to be paid for. 1t may, after
awhile, be cues ton Of who're the State
sis at' on Dispensary money matters, as
we'll as with regard to the license phase
of the question.
The Fpispensary employees have all
been paid off or given warrants on the
State Treasurer ard now with few e4cep-
tions the ex-Dispensary employees are
hunting other jobs, It is very much like
the time when the liquor men were all
thrown out of business.

Black licorice is made from the juice

en- The lioorice plant grows for the
most part on the banks of the Tigris
and Euphrates rivers, which flow
through immense treeless prairies of I'M
cultivated land. The climate of these
great plains is variable Half the year
it is mild and pleasant, but for three
months it is very cold, and for three
months in summer hot winds sweep
across the country, raising the tempera-
ture to 104 degrees for weeks at time.
The licorice plant is a shrub three
feet high and grows without cultiva-
ton in situations where its roots can
reach the water. The usual time Of col
Letting is the winter, but roots are dug
all the year round. At first the root is
full of water and must be allowed to
dry, a process which takes nearly a
year. 1t is then cut into small pieces,
from six inches to foot long. The good
and sound pieces are kept, and the rot

The largest pair Of horses shown at
the cart horse parade, remarks the staid
London Spectator, were two bays that
stood IS hands and probably weighed
at least a ton each and were capable OF
drawing a weight of over four tons in
addition to their driver. Compared with
the average size of the nearest approach
to the wild horse existing, the tarpan
of the Khirgiz steppes-for the animal
which Prejvalski claimed to have dis
covered in the highlands of Gobel Is
too like wild ass to be accepted as the
primitive ancestor of the horse until
more evidence is forthcoming than is
at present available from such remote
and inaccessible regions-these man.
moth horses show an increase of about
one-third in height and three-quarters
in bulk and weight as the result of hui
man effort directed mainly to the in
crease in size in just proportion in a
particular animal The natural infer
ence from this fact is doubt whether
the limit of size which nature seems to
have set to the growth OF particular
species is really as fixed and arbitrary
as might appear from the experience OF
ages, even in cases where the conditions
are more favorable to their perfect de-
velopment than are the Asian steppes
to the growth of the horse The general
weight of what is called 'paleontolog
ical'' evidence seems to favor the last
supposition.

Cows that are handled by rough and
violent drivers and stablemen are much
more subject to abortion than those
treated gently A man In Pennsylvania
kept a dairy in which the COWS were
continually aborting. They were tied in
stalls so short that it was with great
difficulty one cow could squeeze behind
another. They crushed and injured one
another in passing into and out of the
stalls. Besides that the boys who took
care of these unfortunate cattle used to
raise a great hullabaloo and crack wagon
whips over their heads to rush them In
to the stable Then the farmer wonder
cd that his cows gave birth to dead
calves.
In building cow stable be sure to
make the doorways wide enough so that
COWS near to calving time may pass
through without crowding or crushing
their sides against the doorway. This
is sometimes a cause of abortion. Yet
another cause is horning among cattle.
Pregnant COWS should not be allowed
in yards where caSSle hook one another.
