nection with an attempt to wreck

the charge Of insanity; but 1t develop
ed that he Is not a. citizen of this state,
and under the law he could not be sent
to the asylum. The authorities were
at loss to know what to do and the
matter was laid before Judge Town

but 1t developed that the method OF

THE governor and the state board OF
dispensary directors have decided to
withhold from Charleston her share OF
the profits from the local dispensaries
and the Charleston people are raising
a howl. A judicial conclusion on the
issue thus raised is not easily arrived
at; but we are inclined to the idea thai
our Charleston friends are disposed tc
be a bit unreasonable. If they are de-
termined to compete with the state In
the whisky business, they should DC
content with their own profits and not
expect a division from their compel
itor.

THE York county grand jury Is GER
.ainly consistent on the whisky ques'
ton. It puts the state, as a liquor
seller, in the same category with vio'
lators of the dispensary law. In Its
final report, published today, 1t pre-
sents the dispensary as nuisance, anc
also presents as nuisances certain par
ties who are charged with competing
with it. That is not only consistent
but it seems fair.

"Fewer Gallons; Wears Longer"

The secret Is out and Yorkville can
go on living as If the riddle had never
been asked.
No it can't, either. Yorkville is not
going to be what 1t was before. Its
houses are going to be brighter; its
people a little more prosperous-they
are going to have some of their money
left to buy other things with.
The answer to the riddle is this; you
can paint a building with fewer gall
Ions of Devoe Lead and Zinc paint than
with mixed paints, and it will wear
several times as long as building
painted with lead and oil mixed by
hand.
There's proof abundant Of it all over
the United States. There will soon be
proof abundant Of it in Yorkville.

THE ENQUIRER does not care two
cents about the dispensary as polit1-

stitution rests solely and entirely on
moral grounds. We would as lief have
high license as the dispensary, and
would as lief have the dispensary as
high license. The legal sale of liquor
is wrong and no human power can
make it right.

Lard Expensive and Injurious.

Lard Is not only expensive but injur-
ious to the health when used in liberal
quantities. To make the ~so-called
cheap patent flours white enough, the
life is ali ground out Of the flour; then
it is necessary TO load itup with lard to
make it work. This accounts largely
for your heavy biscuits and rolls and

lar anybody saves adds to the wealth
of the place.
People can save half their money on
