A New Suggestion as to the Whlskey
Question.

Mix. EDITOR: AS prohibition is going
to be one of the issues in the campaign
this year, | do hope the candidates
who run on the prohibition platform
will give us some feasible solution OF
tho liquor question. AS Il prohibition
ist myself claim it Just ms much harm
OF sin to buy as it is to sell liquor, for
no man can sell anything except there
be n buyer; besides the wrong consists
not in the buying and selling, but in
the abusive use of alcoholic drinks.
Everybody admits there is no harm in
the use of whiskcy Tor medicinal pur
poses. Now, Mr.. Editor, rs it is no
more harm to sell than to buy, and no
man can sell except there be buyer,
just let our Legislature members see
to it that n law be enacted to make it
q crime to buy, sell or drink liquor,
except for medicinal purposes strictly.
Now know full we'll that this will not
suit some, and possibly most of the So
called prohibitiOnists, for they only
want TO prohibit the other fellow from
drinking while they can still satisfy
their own hAnstly lust ct r!eaas":-S.
Now, Mr.. Editor, as to the mode of
punishment for the breaking Of the
law, soy, for instance, drunkenness. let
the punishment De SIX months (Or q
greater or lesser period) on the public
works of the County, and if tie one
who is drunk will furnish sufficient
evidence to convict the one who sells
him the intoxicant, then give him half
of the punishment, otherwise let the
drunken one pay the full penalty, and
let the same rule apply to buying and
selling. Of course, we all know We
will never have the old barroom system
in vogue again, and if we cannot have
prohibition that will prohibit, let's
keep. the dispensary and keep on ini-
proving and enforcing it rather than
have prohibition in name only.
/ make these suggestions that the
people may ponder them. OF course
there are a great many minor details
not described here in reference to the
enforcement of tho above propositions.

The State Campaign Begins.

The following is report of the first
campaign meeting sent out by the AS
sOciated Press from Charleston under
date of June IA:
The State campaign meeting started
out to-day at Orangcburg in red hot
fashion. Tillman said it was regular
monkey and parrot outlook.
1t is evident that the plan outlined is
to push Hoyt and McSweeney to the
wall. Patterson took the lead in the
attack and jumped on McSweeney Wig
orously. To begin with, Patterson
accused McSweeney with being in polit-
ical league with the blind tigers in
Charleston and Columbia and then, to
round off the period, read recent edi-
tOrial from the Oconce News in which
Editor Werner said he had the proof
againct McSweeney that he patronized
tigers. McSweeney got up and en-
phatically said the charge was false,
and there that matter ended. The proof
is the next step if there be any.
Then Patterson said every cne
thought the Governor was paying for
all the papers he was getting and pay
ing for, but he found the State was
paying for them all, and even paying
for the Hampton Guardian and the
Herald and News. McSweeney ex-
planned that it has been the custom,
and he wanted data on State affairs.
Patterson also jumped on the Gov
ernor for paying $40 for picture Of
the Governors of the State.
Gary favored dispensary, but wanted
each county allowed the chance to say
whatit wanted.
Patterson and Gary both jumped on
Hoyt for an editorial in The Mountain
eer last January, in which he is al
legged to have written in effect: That
prohibitioni5t5 and opponents of the
dispensary should go together as far
as they could and destroy the great
whiskey machine, which is the emped-
iment to prohibition, and let's agree
as we can upon plan which will give
prohibition major part Of the terri
tory wrested from the common enemy.
Col. Hoyt was in this thought to be in
sincere.
A. Crane Jones entered the race for
Senator and made brief speech.
Tillman was received with old time
ardor, and he said he would go to
South Dakota or elsewhere and enter
contests if he could do any good there.
He will attend but few meetings.
Jones made general argument, max
ing no attack.
w. D. Evans, j. H. Wharton, J. N.
Etheridge, J. E. Petigrew, B. B. Evans,
and 7. N. Berry entered the race for
railroad commissioner. b. B. Evans

han had bit of scrap in their con-
test.

WILD ANIMALS HE KNOWS.
An Eiaeriy Mas who Fseds the sausr-
rsis and Birds in Prospect
Park, n. Y.

An old man who makes a visit to
Prospect park every fine morning dur
ing the summer spends an hour or two
on the hill back of the common feeding
birds and squirrels with bread crumbs
which he brings in his pockets He is
patriarchial looking and he has man
aged to make large number of friends
among the birds and squirrels. A park
policeman who was talking to New
York Sun reporter about the old man
said:
II first noticed him two years ago.
I saw him going across the common
at daybreak and, wondering what he
was doing in this lonely place at such
an hour In the morning, l followed
him. He went up the hill south of the
common and then over toward the old
Indian burying ground, where he sat
down on the ground and began to chirp.
Pretty soon 1 noticed that squirrels
were coming toward him, and that
lot OF birds were lowering around. l
saw him take a lot of crumbs out of
his pocket and scatter them around,
and then the birds and squirrels had
feast. This thing has been going on
ever since.
"When first saw him he had only
been feeding the residents Of the park
for little while and hadn't become
acquainted with them. But my! he
knows them all now, and they know
him. Nowadays they come right up to
him and take the crumbs from his
hands. He's a queer old customer and
he has no use for people around when
he's communlng with his friends. If
anybody happens along when he is
feeding the birds and squirrels he will
quit at once and he won't resume until
they 60 away. I've been in the park
for 20 years and don't know a bird
or squirrel, but he knows them all.
1t certainly beats me how he ever got
acquainted"

is NAIL CUTTING SURGERY3
A Fine Technical Point TO Be Decided
By . German Law
Court.

A short time ago German court was
called upon to decide the question
whether corns on the feet were dis
ease. The court at Vienna, says the
European edition of the New York Her
aid, was lately called upon to give its
decision on a much more difficult ques-
tion. A doctor in that city, having to
perform an operation. began by cutting
his nails quite close, and slightly cut his
finger. He nevertheless performed sew
eral operations during the day.
The wound festered; the doctor was
compelled, In his turn, to undergo an
operation, and for % days he was un-
able to perform his professional du-
ties. He therefore claimed Sc forins
from a company in which he was in
sured against accidents. The company
refused to pay, on the ground that no
claim could be made in respect to an
operation performed by surgeon upon
himself The question therefore re-
solves itself into this: Is cutting ones
nails surgical operation? The ques-
tion was so embarrassing to the court
that, after having heard both sides and
deliberated for considerable time, il
reserved its decision.
Without protesting to be able to
settle this difficult question, 1 would
merely observe that IL to cut ones nails
Is a surgical operation, TO shave ones
self is also one, fortiori, as it was
formerly part of the professional
duty of the surgeon. Indeed, during the
nineteenth century several English sur
geons employed in the Danish feet
were discharged for refusing to shave
the crews

The Iron Market.

There is no longer doubt OF the
downward tendency of the iron mar
ket. In pig iron, as in some other
commodities, the climax has been
reached, and the prospects of turn in
the tide are only natural. It is not an
unwholesome sign. There is much in
the argument that a moderate decline
in prices will increase the use of iron
and broaden the market. The high
prices came from shortage of mater
ial. They could not last. The many
furnaces and mills were driven to
their limit, and had they not been suf-
ficient new mills would speedily have
added to the capicity. The country af-
ter the panic went on short supply.
When the era of improvement dawned
the natural supply was demanded,
reckoning with the growth of the
country meanwhile. and there was no
surplus to satisfy the demand. The
mills have been catching up.
The decline in price is sign that
supply is overtaking the extraordinary
demand. When the shading off Is suf-
ficient to put materials on lower
basis demand will broaden again. The
decline cannot be rapid unless stocks
of iron and finished product have
reached considerable proportions,
which is not the case. Every lowering
of prices will bring. new purchasers in
to the field, particularly in the foreign
markets, and each succeeding decline
should come at farther intervals until
the normal conditions are established.
Cheaper materials will stimulate
building. Perhaps a firmer basis will
have been reached for all industries
when prices have settled back some
what. But there need be no apprehen-
sion Of depression in business.
Prices would have to go much lower
than they are to indicate that-Pitts-
burg Times.

for he was big, brawny chap, with
no little physical beauty of the rough
sort, says the Philadelphia Record.
As he guided his heavy dray down
Market street hill the other morning
one of the horses slipped in the Icy
street, and In his effort to recover
bis equilibrium lost shoe. Putting
the brake down hard, the driver
jumped from his seat to recover the
shoe.
But. quick as he was another claim
ant was ahead of him. She was a
fashionably attired young girl OF
about 10, with roguish, laughing
face. Just as tho teamster leaned over
to pick up the horseshoe a dainty
gloved little hand reached In ahead
of his big red one and clutched the
coveted prize.
81 got 1t first" she cried, laughing
gleefully. LET me keep It, do, please
It's such good luck IL you see 1t come

The big teamster removed his fur
cap and bowed with Chesterfieldian
grace. Certainly, miss" he replied,
gallantly, "if can assist you to good
luck shall be most happy"
Then, quite unabashed, he climbed
up to his seat. and the girl walked up
the hill with the horseshoe.
