From the Charleston News and Courier.
Beer tabloids,' it is announced, are
man firm, and the promise is that lone
small tablet dropped into a glass of water
will turn it into beer as fresh as if just
drawn" This is almost too good to be
true, but if it is true what, we would like
to know, do the dispensary authorities pro-
pose to do about it? 1t will be of no use
to multiply statutes and constables when
any man can go about at pleasure with a
brewery in his vest pocket.

And for his fec In good hard cash,
He next put up q 90.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
A woman is q lot easier to hunt down
than Il mosquito.
Some mems heads are principally used to
put their meals into.
Probably the ancient prophets never used
to practice on their wives much.
The reason why little children are happy
Is because they don't know enough not to
be.
The more people you see that other folks
are sure are in love the less you see that
are sure of it themselves.

1t is a noticeable fact that the recent
move of the governor was predicted by
prominent populists in this county more
than week before it was sprung upon tho
public. 1t may only be 4 coincident, a case
in which the wish was father to tho
thought; but that the prediction should
come true soon is at least significant
We have seen no democrat in this county
since the state convention who docs not
consider himself bound by party fealty to
support the call for a convention. 1t is
easy for them to feel that way, for there is
probably not a democrat in Shelby county
who is not heartily in favor of the conven-
ton, and thoroughly in accord with the
party's platform. When a majority of tho
party, through its accredited representa-
tives, have named q man or a policy wc
have habit of yielding to the wisdom of
the many, and in this case we were with
the majority to begin with.
