FLAGS ON THE CAPITOL.
What 1t Means When They Are fly
ing at Half Mast.

ing at Half Mast.
The flying OF flags over the capitol at
half mast is regulated by the strictest
rules. Whenever these flags are seen
floating half way down the mast it Is
a sure indication that a vice president,
senator or representative is lying dead
or that the action is taken in response
to presidential proclamation ordering
the flags on public buildings at half
mast in respect to the memory of some
prominent official of the government
who has passed away.
When the sergeant at arms of the
senate or house Of representatives
learns of the death of member OF
either of those bodies, he at once
orders that the flags over the senate
chamber or hall of representatives be
half masted. This is often done before
the houses of congress themselves are
officially notified VI the death. A good
deal of discretion is exercised in the
manner of placing the news of death
of this kind officially before the senate
or the house. Upon such an announce
ment it is customary for the houses to
adjourn in respect to the deceased sen
ator or representative, and in order
that the current business may not be
stopped early In the day the announce
ment is generally made just before the
houses are ready to conclude their
days work.
Officers of the senate and house
when they fly the flags at half mast in
response to proclamation by the pres
ident regard their action as one OF
courtesy, as they do not recognize the
power of the president to order con-
gress to do anything except to assem-
BILE in extraordinary session. They
have always responded to the requests
of such proclamations. 1t would be
nice question, if one could imagine that
it could ever be raised, to know to
what extent the presidents authority
would allow him to order flags at half
mast on the capitol. While his author
ity would NOT extend over the en-
ployees of the senate and house, yet
the capitol itself for many years was
in fact controlled exclusively by him
so far as the care of the building is
concerned, and the superintendent of
the building is today appointed by him
o without conftrmatory action on the
part of the senate.
AS a matter of fact, the capitol has
for years been under the direct control
of the committees on appropriations of
the two houses Of congress, but that
control has been accorded them by the
failure of the president to give any. or
ders to the architect or more lately to
the superintendent of the capitol. If
he should order that official to fly flags
over the capitol at half mast and the
order should be disobeyed, he would
have power to dismiss him and appoint
some one else in his place without the
concurrence of either branch of con-
gress, except so far as the appropria-
ton for the officials salary would be
involved These are practically moot
questions, but they occasionally form
interesting subjects for fireside talks
when flags are half masted in response
to presidential OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

CONSTABLE PERRY'S PART.
Much or The Credit For The Caoture OF
The Big Babb DiStillery Due to
His Efforts.

The following account of the part
taken by Constable 7. B. Perry, of
Newberry, in the capture Of the big
John Q. Babb distillery in Green
VILE county, with 1900 gallons of
liquor, is taken from the report III
the Greenville Mountaineer of the
preliminary, as result of which
Babb was sent up to the higher
court:
1t was plain and simple piece OF
detective work, the credit of which
is due toJ. +. Lightfoot, of Orange
burg, and u. B. Perry, of New fer-
ry, of the dispensary force, who
were sent here for the purpose OF
gaining the necessary information
as to the illegal sale of liquor at
government distillery, which is not
an easy thing to accomplish when
the storekeeper and gauger is con-
niving at the illicit traffic, as was the
case III this instance.
Mr.. Lightfoot is employed as a
detective and MIR. Perry is one of
the constabulary force. They came
here to remain during carnival week
and were ordered to report to Chief
Hall, from whom they received i'll
StruCtlOnS and went to work in get
ting at the true inwardness Of oper-
atlons at theBabb distillery Thanks
giving day was chosen as the time
for introducing themselves upon the
scene of action, and under the guise
OF being connected with the carnival,
assuming the names of Jones and
Horton, they found easy access to
the confidence of Babb, who sold
them two quarts Of whikey for a
dollar, and threw i'll the drinks be-
sides. Goldsmith, the colored store
keeper and gauger, was present
when they offered to buy liquor,
and Babb said there was no need of
concealment SO far as Goldsmith
was concerned, as it was all right
with him. On Friday, Nov. 27th,
the officers went back and bought
liquor in the day time at the distil-
lery and at night at the Babb resi-
dence, where the price was still so
cents per quart.
These purchases opened the way
for the raid of Chief Hall and his
associates on November goth.
