twas announced last light that
following tho filing of the opinion Of
tho attorney general yesterday hold
ing that Charleston County had no
legally constituted board of county
commissioners, Messrs. Dukes and
Evans Of the State board OF dispon-
sary directors, who woro in the city
had met and instructed tho State
Liquor Commissioner Crum to order
tho county board for Charleston
County to forthwith close ull regular
and beer disponsarios in Charleston
and keep them closed until further
orders. This action, it scems, is
mado necessary because tho law re-
qulrcs tho county commissioners to
approve tho bonds Of the dispensers,
and, inaSmuch as Charleston has and
has had no legal board Of county
commissioners for somo time, tho
bonds Of al dispensers are worthless.
This is tho situation, it appears, un-
til tho courts decide otherwise, if
thoy do so decide, or until some
schomo can bo devised by which
Charleston can secure q legal county
government. As things stand now,
in tho light of the attorney gonoral's
opinion, Charleston has no county
government Whatever.
Thoro arc about ton dispensarics
in tho city of Charleston and this is
the first time they have boen closed

Bnrrooms and Saloons
(The State.)


Charleston, May 18.-Tho dispen-
saries were all closed today. The
order to close issued by the State
board of control was extended by
all the dispensers. The beer wagons
were out for while today collecting
the empty boxes and crates. The
liquor trade was however not at
standstill. AS was told in tho State
today, the proprietors of the saloons
and barrooms crowded the dispensa-
ries yesterday and they were all pre-.
pared today to meet the demands of
tho trade. The collars and hiding
places were filled with beer and whis-
key and other liquors, largely cotton
from the dispensaries and their stock
will keep the saloons in full blast
until the stock can be replenished by
the orders given the local agents of
foreign liquor houses. The closing
of the dispensaries increased the
business of the saloon but did not
occasion any Inconvenience to the
thirsty.
Chairman Arthur O'Neill of the
county board, said today that the
dispensaries will remain closed until
he received orders to open up. He
had no statement to give out, other
than this.
The closing Of the disponsaries has
naturally excited considerable dis
cussion. The taxpayers would not
like to see the places kept closed be-
cause of the revenue that the dispen-
saries yield to the county. The hope
is expressed that satisfactory settle
ment Of the much muddled matter
will be soon reached, that the regu-
lar dispensaries and additional beer
dispensaries may be opened up at an
early day.
Tea Germania brewery has about
$4,000 worth of beer on hand,
which will prove loss unless the
dispensary is soon reopened.
Some Of tho saloons ,anced the
price Of drinks and beer To-Day.
TO ENJoIN DEALERS.
1njunctions will be issued in the
next few days, restraining thirty odd
proprIetors and keepers of saloons
and barrooms from further selling
and handling liquor or engaging in
any way with the liquor business.

AN UNEXPLAINED IMPULSE.
The Disposition of Some Folks TO
Jump From Grent Elevations.

From the New Orleans Times-DemoTat.)
THE strange temptation to cast them
selves into space which assails so many
people when they look down from high
places is very hard TO account for scien-
tiically,' said a well-known neurologist
of this city. 1T has undoubtedly been
the cause Of hundreds of cases Of self
destruction, yet 1t certainly cannot be
classed as a suicidal impulse, because
those who experience IL invariably resist
with all their strength and hang back in
an agony of dread and repulston. They
don't want to kill themselves, but some
power stronger than Will, stronger even
than love of life draws them irresisubly
over the brink.

pose themselves to danger. because the
impulse acts automatically and may at
any moment pass beyond control. ON

plague we have been able to accomplish
much, but in tetanus. or lockjaw, little
or nothing has resulted as yet from our
efforts. We may be able to prolong the
life of the animal attacked by tetanus.
which only means prolonging its pain
and agony. Death almost always ends
the case. The best remedy as well as the
most mercitul is the rifle or revolver"
EXPERIMENTS WITH POULTRY
Another experiment which is being
carefully studied at the Bethesda Station
and which does not deal with diseased
conditions is the tendency which highbred
folws have of revertiug back to the types
from which they were bred originally
This is of much Importance to poultry
raisers. To obtain species of hens
which are bred for their egg-producing
properties is the main aim of breeders OF
feathered stock. This has been success
fully accomplished. but in flock Of high
bred pure blood stock there frequently
will be Matched one or more off birds
which do not show all OF the markings or
the qualities which distinguish their race.
There is always a tendency to revert or
throw back, as il is called. to the orig
inal types from which they were bred.
Among a flock of brown leghorns at the
station are several pure white hens with
brown leghorn parentage.
Dr. Schroeder is inclined to think that
while there is always readiness in high
bred birds and animals to get back to
original types. which are always the
stronger vet reversion is not apt to show
itself unless external conditions in the
lives of the parents stir it into action
or the conditions of climate neCessitate
II. For example. II fowl has one pare Mt
from stock that had been acclimates
for number of generations in a cold
climate and the other parent in Il warm
climate, and the offspring itself should
be Matched in a cold climate. the eggs
from the offspring would be apt to hatch
brood which would in certain Of the
chicks revert TO the type of the cold eli
mate parent or the warm climate parent
according as the climatic or other condi-
tions surrounding the fowl would require
in the effort ON the part. of nature to
render the bred stock most adaptable to
the external environments which sur
round it and in which it must pass its
existence.
Conscientious breeders of blooded stock
have been much disturbed by this tend
ency to reVersion. Eggs which have been
purchased from breeder by one who
wishes to improve his stock not infre-
quently throw back" although the par
euts and ancestry of the chicks Matched
from these eggs have been Of the purest
stock. This leaves the breeder open to
the charge of dishonesty and the pur-
chaser Is distrustful and discouraged.
