So',tbern Farmers.

Southern Farm Magazine.
The truth begins to drawn up
on the minds of the agricultural
writers of the north that the SOU
thern farmer Is not such O thrift
less fellow as he has heretofore
been represented to he. The
tendency to an improved agricult-
ure among southern farmers Is be
coming very marked within
recent years. The fact is admits
ed that a greater yield of crops
with less labor is the proper di-
rection in which to work. Less
land is being abandoned and more
manure employed. Improved
agricultural implements are be-
ing introduced everywhere. On
many farms where Is to 20 hands
we're formely employed, the force
has been reduced to five or six
anb this, too, without reducing
the profit of the farm.
Indeed, this change has, with
proper fertilization, increased the
profits and bettered the condition
Of the soil. The soils which we're
formerly under slave labor, put in
cultivation every year are now
rotated, rested, clovere1 and
made to do duty once in two or
three years instead of every year
1t Is not to be disguised, how
ever, that all over the south
are many quilted old fields tha,
will require years of patient labor
to restore to their original pro.
ductiveness, but every effort il
pointing in the right direction.

Law vs.. ConstabularyRe yReeulaticns.

Inc recent seizures of tho hov--
erage or tonic known as Pabst
malt, emphasize the existence of
regulations of the state constabu-
larry which do not seem to be IN
accordance either with the letter
of the laws or the spirit of Dem
ocratic government.
Ths fact about the socalled Pabst
malt is that in reality it Is only II
certain quality of larger beer.
People who have used it, claim
that while it contains about the
same quantity of alcohol that ordi-
nary beer contains, 1t is not as de-
sirable as beverage for the rea-
son that it is too heavy und will
produce headache more quickly
and surely.
The state constabulary author
lties have instructed that where
this "malt"is being sold and used
as a beV Verage it should be seized
and coniscated; but where it is
desired only as a tonic, on the
prescriptions of physicians, or the
assurance Of reputable customers,
its sale is not to be interfered
with.
As we understand the dispensa.
ry law andwe are quite sure that
we understand it correctly the
only manner in which spirituous
or intoxicating liquors can be law
fully sold is through the dispensa-
ry and in accordancewith the laws
regulating dispensaries. There is
no provision whatever for the
sale of any kind of spirituous or
fermented liquors through drug
stores on the prescriptions of
physicians or otherwise.
Under these conditlone, the
right of drug store to sell Pabst
malt or any similar brew is con
ditioped on whether or not the ar
ticle referred to is intoxicating
II it will intoxicate, then the drug
stores have no right to deal in it
and If it does not intoxicate, then
1t does not come under the proyi-
sions of the law.
But that is not all. If this
Pabst malt is really necessary as
medicine, and is outlawed by rea-
son OF its intoxicating properties
then by all means it should be
kept In the dispensaries. 1t is the
plain duty Of the dispensary mans
agement to see that it is placed |
in the reach of all who may stand |
in need Of it.
The idea however, that the con
stsbulary has right to fix the
status Of this commodity and to
prescribe the condition under
which unauthorized persons may
deal in it is preposterous. The
druggist has no more right to han
die it than ony other individual
and the dispensary constabulary
Is without power or authority to
relnvest In anybody right that
has clearly been taken away by
the general assembly. The dis
psnsary constabulary to the con-
trary Notwithstanding, if malt
comes within the prohibition of
the dispensary law, then its sale
whether rs beverage or a tonic is
equally unlawful.
All the facts in the case are on,
ly to be taken as additional evil
dence, that after all the only con-
cern of the dispensary constu bula-
ry is to keep down comnet;t;on
Everybody is beginning to realize
and appreciate this fully.
