CHARLEsTON's BLIND TIGERS.
Two Squads of state ConstabIes Keep
Them Moving.

Charleston. S. c., Aug. 4.-There has
been so much said and written regard
ing Charleston's official attitude in re-
gard to the blind tigers that it seems
about time that some one should ex-
plain the situation which really does
obtain here. The impression which has
gained considerable currency through
the country press and through sensa-
tional specials which have been sent
out of Charleston, is to the effect that
Charleston is overrun now by Illicit
dealers in liquor, and that her munic-
ipal authorities are standing aloof and
refusing absolutely to make any effort
to suppress this traffic. This is, of
course, absurd on the face of it.
When the state board of directors at
tempted to withhold from the city of
Charleston her share of the profits
which would accrue from the dispens-
airy Mayor Smythe determined to with
draw three men that he had specially
delegated to act in the capacity of
whisky constables. He did this not
from any animosity or with any pur-
pose to give the blind tigers free
hand, but merely with the view of plac-
ing his force in better shape to lend
whatever assistance the representatives.
of the state might need. 1t will be I'M
state board of directors there are now
in Charleston two large raiding squads
of state constables, who devote them
selves exclusively to pulling" the il
licit dealers in liquor. Neither of these
squads can well perform its function
properly unless accompanied and as
sisted by a detail from the Charleston
police department. Under the arrange
ments which Mayor Smythe has made
now, he always has at the disposal OF
the state authorities the officers who
formerly devoted themselves to raiding,
as a guard Between these two raid
ing squads, one under the leadership
of Chief Constable HOWE, and the
other under the direction of Chief Con-
stable LaFar. the greatest rivalry ex-
lists. The point has been made as to
which of them was doing, and was cap
able of doing, the best work in sup
pressing the illegal traffic in liquor
here, and upon the results which they
achieve depends the maintenance of
one or the other of them in the city.
The natural consequence is that both
are interchangeable in their efforts to de-
tect the violations of the dispensary
ties the greatest possible amount of
Illicit liquor. They are marrying the
blind tigers morning, noon and night,
until those poor beasts have no place
to turn for comfort. The sensational
statement which has been made to the
effect that Charleston is oVerrun now
by them is simply absurd and the in
dignation into which the country news
papers of South Carolina have dashed
themselves in the light of this revela-
ton is also simply absurd

Dignity of Agriculture.

Within recent years it has come to be
acknowledged that the vocation of the
farmer is the most dignified of all the
sciences, and as an art it is excelled
only by those of painting and architec-
ture says the Southern Farm Maya
zine. In its highest forms it is the
most learned of all the professions. A
knowledge of geology and chemistry
and their relations to the soils lies at
the very foundation of scientific agri-
culture. The problems that arise from
the complex nature of the soils and
their origin require the best thought
of the best minds to solve. More ed
ucated young men should be farmers.
Agriculture opens a wide field leading
to influence and power, one, too, that
is not filled to repletion. 1t holds forth
the most splendid promises for young
men of ambition 1t is filled with liber-
alizing tendencies, noble conserva-
ton and the most healthful and in.
MIGRATING influences. The day is not
far distant when agriculture will at
tract men of the largest capacity and
the highest executive ability, and be

If the young men who are measur-

their work TO the young girls who are
seeking employment and turn their at
tention to the pursuits of agriculture
there would be less misery and more
contentment in the land; there would
be more independence and less servil-
ity; more men and fewer creatures;
more happy wives with comfortable
homes, healthful children and cheerful
tempers. A woman surrounded by all
the active agencies of a well-kept farm
and living in a beautiful country home
with fountains and flowers and sweet
evergreens," has those environments
that develop the sweetest graces and
highest impulses of her nature, and
make her virtues shine Respondent
above the world of frivolity and fash
ion. She becomes a true woman, the
happiest of wives and the best of
mothers. Such home and such wife
realizes our highest ideals of human
happiness. 1t is a home where intelli-

Potato Beetles; How to Fight Them


Subscriber" Ivy, Ga.-The bug sent
is the true Colorado potato beetle It's
principal food is the Irish potato and
eggplant We have not seen it on any
other garden plant
This beetle has been a long time in
getting down into Georgia, but it is
here at last, and it will stay for a good
long time, no doubt. This is it's second
year in Middle Georgia, appearing in
injurious numbers for the first time in
1900.
From now on it will be idle for any
one to plant Irish potatoes without at
the same time providing the necessary
means for preventing its damages.
The first brood appears along in
March or early in April. just after the
first planting of potatoes come up. This
brood is comparatively few in numbers
and can be exterminated quite easily
by Manipulating. But the bugs will
beck a-coming. Soon after the first
brood appears egg laying begins. These
are deposited always on the underside
of the leaf. Their destruction is te-
dious. of course.
The most effective remedy has been
found to be paris green, applied either
wet or dry--that is, in water solution
or mixed with flour or lime.
Experience at the North has shown
that as remedy for blight has also
to be used. it is best to combine the
two remedies and use at the same
time. So the paris green is added to
the "Bordeau mixture'-the great pre-
ventive of blight and sprayed-upon the
foliage.

times in this column, but we repeat it

should preserve it for use next

PROBABLE SOUTHEASTERN SEE.

Charleston Post: Charleston will
probably be made the see of the arch
episcopal province of the Episcopal
Church, which, it is proposed to es-
tablish at the triennial convention of
the Episcopal Church next October at
San Francisco, Cal The church has
grown too large for the present system
of government and ii is proposed to
create a number of provinces and re-
organize the general system which now
prevails. The matter has been discuss
ed by the prominent Bishops and men
of the Episcopal Church and the idea
seems to have taken well, and will
doubtless be put into effect, as propos-
ed. The present system prevents at
tention being given to many matters Of
details, which could be attended to un-
der the provinces system. 1t is argued
that ii the country were divided into
provinces, each could hold its triennial
convention, bringing the general in
terests into convention only once in a
decade. The churchmen are getting
tired of the long trips over the coun-
try to attend the conventions, and the
new system cOmmeuds itself especially
on account of it doing away with the
long travel which now prevails.
