LIQUOR BILL BEFORE CONGRESS.
Places whiskey Shipped From Other States Under
= Control of State Laws-Came from Iowa.

Places Whiskey shipped From Other states Under
Control Of State Laws-Came from Iowa.
Since the recent decision of the supreme
court of this state that whiskey cannot be
seized at the depots or while on railroad
property, the dispensary officials are inter.
ested in bill now before gress known
as the Hepburn-Dolliver act. The bill
takes whiskey and all Intoxicating liquors
out of the jurisdiction of the interstate
commerce law and makes the stuff liable
for any law which the state might have
in reference to the shipment of whiskey,
just as though it had been produced in
side the state. Heretofore the state
authorities have had difficulty in enforc-
ing the law because of the interstate
commerce law, which gives any citizen
the right to buy whiskey from another
state in an original package. As a result
the blind tigers would buy their whiskey
from another state and the constables had
to run the chance of Selling it after it had
been taken to the place Of business.
The bill was originated among the
temperance societies of the west, where
many states have prohibition and local
option laws, and the blind tigers did a
fourishing business, and it was introduc-
ed by the senators and representatives
from Iowa. Since, however, it has been
found that the act would benefit the
dispensary law of this state, it has receiv-
ed the support of members of the South
Carolina delegation, and, should it stand
the test of the courts, will be material
aid in enforcing the law.

TWO Prominent MEN DIE

1t was learned with much regret
along the Rappahannock that DIR.
Larkin Hundley, of lower Essex, and
Capt. A. w. Kriete, of Baltimore
and Essex county, Va, had died last
week.
DIR. Hundley had been i'll for some
time from appendicitis, and his
brother, DIR. Mason Hundley, a noted
surgeon of Baltimore, was called to
operate upon him. Owing to OBJ
structed navigation the operation
could not be performed as early az
desired. The patient survived the
operation but two days, dying on last
Friday morning. DR.. Hundley was

A WISE BUSINESS DEAL.

Mr. James Brinkley a prominent farmer
living near Drivers in Nancsmond county
died recently while in the prime OF life. ana
ms death illustrates forcibly the Importance
OF certain precautions in business matter
that men are often likely 70 overlook.
Nearly all business men, and particularl,
men In the BUSH ess OF farming, have plans I'm
hand at all times that others cannot take mn
on the instant and mature successfully. They
must have time TO become familiar with
details, and have ready money 10 cover delays
involved, as well as TO continue operations.
Mr.. Brinkley could always command money
needed To tide him over emergencies; but for
his estate to do such n thing is entirely n air
fercnt proposition.
Mr. Brinkley was always active I'm bus,ness
ana seldom had large balance in bank. He
kept his money at work. AS a consequence.
when stricken down by death. business LOSSES
would almost certainly have ensued had le
not iorseen such diniculities and as prudent
business man prepared for them several years
ago by taking outa policy OF life insurance In
the Phoenix Mutual OF Hartford. The money
received from The Phoenix I'm payment OF this
policy was, as Mr.. Brinkley foresaw. worth
several times the amount to his family in the

PROGRESS OF THE WAR.
Japan broke of diplomatic rela-
tions with Russia on February 9Th
and on the following day Japanese
troops seized Massmpho as q base of
operations and began landing troops
IN Korea. On February 9Th Japanese
torpedo boats disabled three Russian
vessels at Port Arthur, and on the
following day a Russian cruiser snd
Russian gunboat were sunk off
Chemulpo, after a short battle with
Japanese squadron.
On February 18th it was reported
that three Russian cruisers had been
torpedoed in the Straits of Tsugaro.
On the following day the Japanese
landed>troops near Dalny, and a Rus
sian cruiser was sunk off Port
Arthur.
On February 18th eleven Russian
warships were reported damaged in
the fight off Port Arthur.
On February 18th it was reported
that, on account of snow storm.
only two of the Japanese torpedo
boats got into action at Port Arthur
on Sunday, but that two of the
Russian warships were sunk. Since
that time no movements of impor-
lance have been reported, except that
both sides are rushing troops as rap
idly as possible to the scene of action.
AS close watch is kept on the
correspondents by both sides, it is
very difficult to ascertain the exact
facts, but 1T appears that Japan is
practically IN command of the situa-
ton at sea; that if she has not al
ready taken Port Arthur, she is in
position to do so, having practically
put the Russian feet i'm those waters
out of action. If that view be cor
rect, the next important conflict will
be on land. With the Russian fleet
out of the way, Japan will have lit
tie trouble in landing her troops and
sending them forward to meet the
Russian forces in Manchuria. On
the other hand, Russia has the Siber
ian railway, over which she may send
as many troops as she has available
to meet the the japanese forces.

Numbers of men were dragged by

their bodies have not been recovered.
A number of boats capsized off Ur-

lost near the lower Middlesex shore.
Rescuers, prominent among whom
was Capt. "Jim" Wilder, schooner

score or more boats at distance
went under. AS yet no report can
be gotten of those casualties. Had
the wind lasted five minutes longer
few of the hundreds in the fleet
could have stood up. Every boat
that escaped was filing faster with
water than bailers could overcome.
