But wherever the drunkard comes
from, there is one thing certain, he
cannot be reformed by sympathy and
sentiment. He deserves no sympathy,
and sentiment is wasted upon him. He
Is a nuisance to himself, TO his family
and to society. He must not be PAM
pered or pardoned-he must be ar
rested and punished according to
law.-LBurlington News.
This is one view-not ours. Many a
drunkard has been reformed by SYM
patty and sentiment few by the stern
chastisement OF the law. He is a nui-
sance when drunk, but often a good
citizen when sober. The oftener he is
drunk the worse for himself and soci-
ETY.. Therefore the law ought to make
it as hard as possible for him to get
drunk. All liquor systems recognize
this, especially the one Vermont now
has, which sets the drunkard in a class
by himself and denies him the chance
to purchase liquor.

When is a man drunk is a cues
ton that puzzles many a Vermont Off
Ger and court. All sorts of definitions
are given Of intoxication. Some say
that a person is intoxicated when his
breath smells Of liquor and he appears
otherwise than normal. Others hold
that a man is not drunk within the
meaning of the law as long as he can
navigate and causes no disturbance by
loud or boisterous talk or by rough or
indecent action. Il is not easy TO lay
down a hard and fast rule covering ey-
cry case. Public sentiment always sus-
tains an arrest when the subject makes
either a spectacle or a nuisance of
himself. Nor is it generally necessary
to wait until be mas reached that stage
if he is headed pretty strongly toward
it. Without doubt a good deal of hon.
est discretion is needful in making ar
rests for i~ntoxication. If every scented
breath were brought into court, there
would be lots doing.

last Sunday Globe dealt largely with
Russia's governmental system Of hand
ling the liquor traffic. Mr.. Carpenter
has observed it at close range and
thinks it a great success. He says,
at supplies a better liquor than was
sold in the past, and at a lower rate,
and at the same time makes an enor-
nous profit for the czar.n The liquor
is manufactured and sold by the gov
eminent directly to the consumer,
being delivered in sealed packages
which must not be opened on the
premises. The selling is done by
agents of the government who are re-
sponsible for their conduct of the
business. A great change for the bet
ter has been noted since the govern
ment took control of the business.

OF LONG LITIGATION.
Big Lawsuit in Old Bank of Americus
Case

A case of more than usual interes
which will have it's beginning at this
session of Sumter superior court, con-
vening tomorrow, is that growing out
of the failure of the old Bank of Ameri-
Gus. In this instance, suit Is brought
by various creditors, mostly foreign
banks, against stockholders of the old
Bank of Americus under clause in
the charter, granted in 1870, making
stockholders Individually liable for
its indebtedness. Hundreds Of those
against whom this suit Is instituted
were probably not aware of the exist
ence of such clause. Not only those
who were stockholders at the time of
the banks collapse in 1893 are sued,
but everyone who at any time within
the past twenty years owned stock
therein may also be made parties de-
fendant. 1t is not yet known what
course the matter will take, but it is
probably the beginning oflong litiga.

The catarrhal poison brings on
