viously due to malice Because the
law is confused and uncertain in the
matter of the exclusion OF rabbits, it
does not follow that Belgian hares do
not eXist-which is the. sum total Of
the Bulletins absurd contention.
The trial of Mr.. Wagner's case yes
terday demonstrated that the law does
not exclude rabbits from Hawaii I'M
der certain conditions.
The Advertiser last Saturday stated
that there are hares in Hawaii, and
this statement has not, nor can it be
disproved.
The Bulletin sums up these two facts
and deduces the conclusion that the

that there are no hares here.

The Chattanooga Medicine Co., the

have just issued the 1902 edition of

occurrence. This Office has just re-
ceived one of these calendars, which
consists of twelve sheets Of paper,
1920 inches IN size, all fastened to-
gether with a gilt tin strip and a brass
loop hanger. Each sheet contains the
calendar for one month in large fig
ures that can be read across the room.
Under the figures patent weather sig

it can be secured by sending 10 cents

There came near being collision at
the depot yesterday morning. One of
the switches had been left open and the

his train within a few feet of the
Gibson train.

exhibiting its goods at the Exposi-
ton. The County Exhibit will not be

but the managers at Charleston. The
