A CRIME TO STAG GER
PROVISION AGAINST INTEMPERANCE III A
~. SOUTH CAROLINA TOWN a...

The strangest law which has ever
sprung from South Carolina's dispen-
sary system has been adopted by the
town council of Yorkville, a thriving
country seat near the mountain line.
When the dispensary system was first
operated Yorkville fought it bitterly,
because the citizens of that town are
strong on temperance. The law was
unpopular. 1t did not prove success
full, and finally it was decided to have
an election in which the people could
express their views on the dispensary
or prohibition. The voters buried the
dispensary and prohibition ruled the
day. .r. r. r.r.
But the closing Of the state estab-
lishments did not stop the sale of
liquors Men. got drunk just as they
tformerly had done, and in the low
quarter of the town intoxicated men
reeled out, a shocking spectacle OF
prohibition. The wise heads took
counsel together, They talked over the
defects, and agreed to punish the man
who drank, and not the man who
sold An extra meeting of the town
council was called. An ordinance was
introduced making it a misdemeanor
for any person to be seen staggering on
the streets Of the town. That was
where the wise heads thought the root
of the. evil could be crushed. There

tive village far out on the western bor-
ders OF the, disturbed country. When
the war broke out all their native
servants left them and they were alone
with the hostile savages. One, min
Ing prospector, went to a neighboring
chief for protection. The chief re-
ceived him kindly, gave him a meal
ana, while he was eating, beat his
brains out with war club. The other
man, Walter Bennett by name, a sur
Veyor, was starting from his house
when he heard the fate of his compan-
ion. He made his way to another
chief, who received him grimly, took
him into his house and then intimated
that he would shortly "do things to

the Englishman adjusted his monocle
and sat down to think things over.

The single eyeglass at once caught the
fancy Of the chiefs wives and children
and they laughed and jabbered until
Mr. Bennett had to laugh too. For an
hour or SO the family Of the chief kept
the surveyor doing stunts" with his
&$eyeglass. When he managed to screw
the glass into the eye OF the chiefs
favorite wife the hilarious rapture Of
the whole village was complete, and

the map-at least not on the ordinary
ones-but it is probable that the vii
layers are laughing there yet at the
strange Englishman with the adjusta-
Bile eye. Some years ago Justin Nc
Carthy wrote a novel called Red Dia-
monds. y In that story can be found
mang things which remind one of the
Molineux case. Captain Praven, secre-
tary Of the Voyagers' club in that story,
had an enemy called Bostwick, who
tried to- kill him as, it is alleged, Moli-
neux tried to kill Harry Cornish, by
sending him some poisoned headache
powders, which came to the captain in
almost exactly the same manner as the
powders came to Cornish. And the
failure Of the plot is about similar in
manner to- the failure of the plot
against Cornish. When Alaska was
purchased from Russia in 1867 no one
thought that it would prove second

was bitter fight in the council over
the proposed legislation. Glass was
arrayed against class, but the anti
stagger law prevailed, and it was ac-
cordingly entered on the statutes.
There is no provision in the law
by which man suffering from paraly-
sis can be exempted from the operation
OF the law. All staggering people look
allke to the wise men of Yorkville.
Whether he stagger from drink or
from partial paralysis, he is seized,
hurried before town physician, and
his condition tested. If there is the
odor of whisky he is sent up to be
fined; If he staggers from paralysis
or from other troubles, and can pro-
duce the whisky odor besides, he is
dealt with under the anti-stagger law.
Friends and supporters of the new
measure declare that it has rid the
streets of the drunkards and has ma
terially decreased the sale of liquor.
Men who fought for it's adoption de-
clare that it has increased drunken
ness, because men buy the whisky from
the "blind tigers" and then go home
to drink the entire supply with the
expectation of remaining there until
thoroughly sobered. The law has in
jected new issues into the political life
of Yorkville, and people from other
towns are anxious to see similar meas
ures adopted at their homes.

One of Morocco's Wonders.

DR.. Thomson, in his book of travels
in the Atlas and Southern Morocco,
thus describes great natural wonder
which he observed near Demnat. In a
few minutes we were on the top of the
closing barrier of rock, and then, to
my profound surprise, I found that
was not only on the top of a natural
arch and bridge utilized by the inhab-
:itants, but also ION an. aqueduct~ by
which a fine stream was conveyed from
one side of the glen to the other, where
it fell in a cascade. The explanation
of this probably unique phenomenon Of
river being conveyed naturally across
a gorge 140 feet deep soon became ap-
parent, and proved to be sufficiently
simple. The arch was not composed Of
the limestone rock of the hills, but of
calcareous tufa. The stream that now
crossed the glen had primarily fallen
as simple cascade on the eastern side,
and, being charged with lime in solu-
ton, had, throughout long centuries,
continued to deposit its calcareous bur-
den layer after layer. In process Of
time the tufa or lime thus deposited
had gradually grown out until it had
reached the opposite side Of the gorge
and completed the bridge aqueduct;
and now, instead OF falling on the east
side, the. stream falls as a cascade on
the west side and there continues its
/ deposition Of tufa. OF course, mean.
while, the Wad Demnat was also al
. work beneath preventing the choking
up Of its natural channel while eating
! away the limestone beds beneath, thus
preventing the. forrnatio ions of the mas.
i sive wall which otherwise would havt
j resulted.
