As the State is now supposed 10 be dry.
II may be that the promoters Of the
cusSu' scheme fear that the air. If tlnged
with fire and birthstone from the mouths
OF angry South Carolinians. would do
great harm. No excuse for the action has
yet been given, and this is mentioned
merely on suspicion.
The first step In this comedy OF reform
did not work such a hardship on the
people, for they could do as We do here
on Suudays-sllp in the side door or take
a package home. or course this much Is
all right. but what will the poor South
Carolnian do in the future when lie
wants 10 cuss? lie certainly can't take
home In a bundle the nre-and-brimstone
air. and just how 10 arrange a side en-
trance 10 this new department IS puzzling

vcntilat" their spleen ana anger in adjec-
tiyes only 1T FOR publication in Bob Inger-

Things regarding the traffic in drinks
have not been as harmonious as the ex-
Governor OF South Carolina would like

How Doc, He Know?

French medical authority has decided
that death by falling from great heights
is absolutely painless. He says that the
mind acts with great rapidity for a time,
and then Inconsistencies follows, a: d
now scoffer has come to the front with n
pertinent inquiry as to how the French
man knows anything about it, The argu-
ment is made that no man has fallen from
the height of, say, a mile or so and landed
on the earth in a condition to tell any
thing as to his feelings. Most of the peo-
pie who have fallen great distances have
not been greatly inclined to talk of their
adventures, and, in fact, most of them, on
arrival from their trip, have, if any ac-
quaintances have been handy, made quick
trips to an undertaker's shop.-New York

Mems Business Suit.

The business suit for office or business
wear or travelling purposes has undergone
some notifications, according to the New
York Herald. The sack coat is the favor
lite garment, although the morning coat
with flaps, partaking somewhat of the
English shooting coat in style, will be
made up largely. Its advantage consists
in its roomy pockets, which the business
man and travelling public appreciate, and
by them the sack coat has been worn ex-
clusively for many years. The sack coat
will supersede the morning coat for the
purposes mentioned. The materials used
vary from the large plaid in tweed and
hoinespuns to the soft finished lambs
wool and Scotch suitings. The preference,
however, is given to all soft surfaced ma
terials.
The leading colors are in different heath
er shades and the green's and olives, the
brown plaids and large designs having the
preference over the stripes, which in the
broad designs are essentially suitable for
trousers
