what A.. Ortg1u.l Package.

Tie al]-absorbing question nf the
hour is what is an original packsee?
Upou the solution OF this enigma de-
penGs to considerable extent the scope
Of he Simonton dispensary decision.
Anyone may row sell liquor IN orig
irai packages but as TO j1st what
.'crie inal package means there is
difference OF opinion sm onz lawyers.
TIE GreenvilIe News says ther- are
some who say any ci izen may now
sell LIQUOR in the identical manner
that the State. through its dispense
ries. are selling tin other words,
lhaI anyone may set up saloon. buy
stock Of liquors in bottles and sell
from that ilst as in the dispensaries.
Oilers construe the phrase original
package" to mean separate, distir ct
; nd uobroken shipment thst must
be sold IS received-that one can
not under present law have ship,
ped to him box OF liquors
or a crate OF tesr and afterwards
nresk thai box aud sell separate
" It's various contents This Ia
tsr view SEEMS to tally with the
conceasus of legal opinion 10 Green
lie. An original package dealer"
can rot therefore set up saloon and
keep stock, though BE may have
place of tusire ess from which to re-
calve and distribute orders. The
highest authority upon the definition
OF an original packsgs" is fcu7d in
the seventeenth volume OF the Amerl-
can anG English Ency clopedia OF Law,
which in a note on page 273, IN the
| case OF Fsisy VS.. Hardin, 135th .. s.,
lOO. defines original package as fol-
lows: AN original package, with
| in the sense of the interstate COM
merce regulations, is the unoroken
package, Imported into State from

try, before, by sale or otherwise, 1t be.
| comes a part OF the general mass OF
property in the State.
The last qualifying phase. before by
sale or otherwise it becomes a part OF
the general mass of property in the
State" is construed to mean that
liquor thus bought can not lie upon
the shelf as stock, but must immedi,
steIy be distributed or it becomes a
part of the general mass of property
in State. If this strict construction is
placed upon the phrase original
package" each sale would necesssari-
| ly entail the additional burden OF
freight or express charges, which
would be heavy burden, and would
reud er the profit an extremely doubt.
ful quantity. However, not much
loss Of sleep is being suffered over this
question, as no fears are entertained
but that the original package sellers
will fed a was out Of the dilemma.
Several clever schemes have been sug-

As will be seen by the news from
Washington which we publish in an
other column Senator Tillman is OF
the hunt for sugar spectators among
his grave and reverend associates in
the Senate. He has stirred up nest
Of yellow jackets, which are fond Of
seccharine matter, we believe, and

Gignation OF the country, if they do
not suffer in any other respect. Till
mans attack will result in coed. even
though be fails to secure a conviction.
as it will establish the fact that United
States Senators are not beyond critic
ism and investigation.
the New York Journal says that
"Mr. Tillman is not noted for ur5ani

men.ed his proposal with a few rasp-
ing remarks that brought the
whole swarm of sugar Sena-
tors about bis head like bees stir

Tillman may not be popular among
his associates, but that should not lead
them to rest quietly under an imputa-
ton on their own honor. The Senate
is under deep and we'll deserved sus
picion. The manipulation Of the su-
gar schedules in the tariffs OF 1890,
1894, and 1897, which are the only
ones framed since the creation OF the
trust, has maoifest!y not been the
work Of disintereSted patriotism. "

TIE CHEAP RESTAURANTS.


But the 20 cent meals are very good, add
thousands patronize these restaurants. For
instance, on one day they will advertise this
bill of fare, all for 20 cents: Fish, rice
chicken, potato, cabbage, bread, ice tea and
pie. In almost every part OF the city these
20-cents restaurants are to be found, and
they are entirely respectable and serve very
good meals: certainly worth the price asked.
On the eating question there need be no fear
of being gouged, the competition is far too
sharp. st the Exposition grounds Gerst
runs several cafes. At the Vienna restan-
rant good square meal can be had for 50
cents Here is a sample menu: Cream OF
chicken, fried black bass, prime roast beef,
baked ham with champagne sauce, mashed
potatoes, new peas, bresd pudding and
they give you wha; is or the bill. Gerst has
other restaurants where you can order what
YOU want, and in the woman 5 building there
IS a spIendid cafe. So it will 6e seen thai:
one can eat cheap enough or As expeuslTely
as desired while on the Exposition grounds.
The service, the food and the prices on the
grounds are vastly better than they were al

HOW 70 GET 70 THE EXPOSITION.
The best and quickest way 10 the Exposl-
tioa grounds IS by way Of the special trains
over the Nashville, Chattanooga and ST. Louis
