A certain white man who can
not abide a full bottle stumbled
on a flask of 'no Y" rye from the
"(ireat Moral Institution" Satur-
day and proceeded at once to take
observations of the weather.
When he got so, jumbled that he
couldn't tell the difference be-
tween the railroad and the shafts
of a tumble-body cart, a friend
undertook to carry him ont OF
town but get no farther than the
edge of the woods where the jag
was left near a residence. The
weather observer was found by
The marshal who had to call in
assistance to transport the stoved-
up. The night spent in the refrls-
orator lowered the temperature
considerably and produced a
frame of mind that was willing to
help pay the expenses Of running
the town.

THE FISH LAW.
Information Sought About vexed Ques'
ton in Williamsburg County.

Editor County Record
For the information of the pub
lie will you please publish the re-
vised fish law as relates to Vii
liamsburg county. There are a
great many people who do not
know whether or not there is any
fish law on the statute books. l..
for one, don't know what the law
is. INQUIRER.
The foregoing inquiry touches
upon a much vexed question.
At almost every session of the
legislature the fish law is changed
or amended, so that to keep track
O! it is a matter of no small diff
Guilty, and it is-not surprising that
ga great many people do not
know whether or not there is any
fish law upon the statute BOOKS.
The law, as it now stands, seems
to be in a rather muddled condi-
ton and not being a lawyer, we
shall no. attempt to cons;rue it.
In 1894 the original fish law, as
relating to Williamsburg, was
amended so as to read thus:
at shall not be lawful for any
person IN the counties of Horny,
Marion, Darlington, Clarendon.
Chesterfield, Georgetown, Marl-
boro, Williamsburg and Richland
to fish with nets or gigs, or set
traps, or shoot fish with any
kind of gun, in any Of the
fresh waters, rivers, creeks or
other streams.in said counties be-
tween the 1st day of May and the
1st day Of September in aLy year
hereafter. One half of all fines
collected for violation of this Sec
ton shall be paid to the informer
by the trial Justice collecting the
same and the other half shall be
paid into the county treasury"
Approved December is, 1892.
Page 1869, Revised Statutes of
1898.
This was obviously the law up
to 1898, when the fish law Of GER
tain other counties was amended
by the legislature and Williams
burg added to the other counties
affected. What effect this would
have on the original law as amend
ed in 1894 we are not prepared to
say. Following Is the full text Of
the act referred to as amended in
1898.
Be it enacted by the General
Assembly OF the State of South
Carolina, thai sections l, 2 and 3
of an act approved FEBRUARY I l.,
1897, entitled "An act to amend

Petrsned Forest in TrfpoIf.

The great desert in the forbidden hinterland of Tripoli, northern Africa, which has not been visited by Euro peans for fifty years, has now been ex- plored by MT. Edward Dodson, a young Englishman. who went out last March. The members of the expedition ex- perienced much difficulty with the authorities. At one place they were put under arrest and on two occa- sions threatened by the Arabs, who pre- pared to ambush them. One of the most notable things on the journey to Murzuk was the great petrified forest. For ten days they travelled across an area of petrifed trees vary ing in circumference from seven feet to a few inches. Every branch of this forest was of course, lying prone, and this, together with the presence of marine shells, showed that this part of the great Sahara had at one time been submerged.
 One night they were surrounded by thunder storms. No less than i've distinct storms were in progress all around, and the guns and spears of the party became surrounded with a halo of phosphorescent light, which greatly alarmed the superstitious attendants, who regarded this as a fourth judgement upon them for travelling with ..unbelievers." ."-London Mail.

FEAT OF BRIDGE BUILDING.
Quick Work in Removing an old Span and Substituting 8
 New One.

The double tracks of the Pennsy1- vania railroad cross the Schuykill river at Girard avenue, Philadelphia, on stone-arch bridge with single steel truss span over the middle channel. This was recently replaced in Is min utes, without the least delay or inter- ruption to the aln st continuous traffic of long, heav freight trains and high-speed expre. $ which cross the bridge every hour Il the 24, with out obstructing the riTer, says Frank w Skinner, in Century. A temporary steel span was built alongside the old one and at a lower level, so that it's top was a little below the bottom of the old structure. On this was erected, in the usual way, the complete new span with the tracks laid on it. Pow erful hoisting-engines were set on platforms at the ends of the old span on the opposite sides of the bridge, and operated four sets of tackles, by which, after the tracks had been cut, both spans, weighing together nearly 100000 pounds, were pulled sidewise on double tiers of long horizontal rails, with over 300 solid steel rollers be- tween them. In this way the old span was displaced by the new one, which followed it like very substantial shadow, until permanently seated in exactly the same position. Two and a half minutes after the last train crossed the old span. the connections were broken, the engines were started
 and in 21h minutes more had pulled both spans simultaneously the full distance of about 37 feet. In eight minutes more the first train had passed over the new span, and it was in regular service. The engines and tackles were shifted, and a set o1 greased rails was arranged at low level, on which the temporary spar was pulled to position directly below the old span, and served as suppor1 while the latter was taken to pieces The great weight of the spans, the difficulties from incessant traffic. anc the speed and accuracy with which tht spans were moved, make this one o: the most remarkable of feats.
