DON'T LET DOCTORS KNOW YOU
HAVE GOT A GIZZARD.

A sense of humor never departs from
some people. For instance, there is the
man who spent several weeks in a Char
lotte hospital, undergoing a dangerous
surgical operation and escaping death by
narrow margin. The other afternoon a
young colored woman who is employed in
the hospital went into this particular
patients ward on some errand. The girl
evidently considered that she was earning
her wages, for, when she came into the
room, she said: my Lawd! but desc
white folks is about to work de gizzarl
outen me-" The patient, who was minus
portion of his anatomy, as a result of
his stay in the hospital, warned the girl
against what she might expect by saying:
well, keep it to yourself, if you let
these doctors find out that you've got a
gizzard, they'll perform an operation on
you, sure"

TO TEST AN INTERESTING
QUESTION.

Is the place of the delivery of a jug
of whiskey the place of sale? In the
London bill, as originally introduced, it
was specifically provided that the place of
delivery was the place of sale. Senator
London inclines to the opinion that in
another act that passed, the Legislature
has decreed that the place of delivery is
the place of sale, though he regards it
as an open question that must be passed
on by the courts.
The question will soon go to the courts
upon a test case from Rowan, growing
out of the sale of liquor by a Salisbury
keeper to young man in Spencer, Ga
dry town. Mr.. A. M. Craig, chairman OF
the Spencer Anti-Saloon League, makes
this statement:
Spencer is a prohibition town, made
so by its charter but it has been sus-
pected for some time that the saloon
keepers of Salisbury, were selling liquor
here and a few days ago c. w. Pool, a
saloon-keeper of the former place, erected
on one of the principal streets In Spencer
large sign advertising that he would
deliver whiskey in this town. young
man eighteen years of age ordered cot
his own accord) a quart OF whlskey over
the telephone from POOLS saloon and 1T
was delivered by an agent of Pool the
agent collecting the money and giving
a receipt therefor.
warrants were issued for Pool charg-
ing him with selling whiskey without IL
cense and for selling to a minor, it be-
ing the contention of the prosecution that
as the whiskey was delivered and pald
for in Spencer that the place of delivery
became the place of sale The case was
tried before Justice Miller, of Salisbury,
who decided that the defendant was guilty
of selling liquor without license and bound
him over on that charge, the charge OF
selling to a minor being dismissed. the
defendant was bound over under section
1916 of The Code and it is confidently ex-
pected that he will be convicted, as the
general law and decisions in similar cases
go to show that under like circumstances
the place of delivery is the place OF sale.
(See Vol. II, American and English Encyl
clopaedia of Law, pages 301 and 2O2).
ION account of the legal points IN
yolyed this case will doubtless attract at
tention throughout this and adjoining
States.
Respectfully,
