PATENT MEDICINES as BEVERAGE
Union Paper Says They Are So
sed---ConstabIes Make Seiz-
ures in Such Cases.

The following from the Union Pro-
gress may be news to a good many
people:
taken in the action of United States
Marshal Drake of Columbia, when on
Saturday he made the rounds of the
drug stores prohibiting them from
selling Peruna on account of the large
percent of alcohol it contains Here
after this ''tonic'' can be had in
Union only on the prescription Of
physician, and as physicians do not
prescribe patent medicines, Peruna is
practically off the market here. It is
fact that many persons have been ir
the habit of getting drunk On it. %
While The Progress says United
States Marshal Drake, - it should not
be inferred that the federal govern
ment is prohibiting the use Of these
patent medicines as beverages. The
man referred to is not government
officer but is State detective in the
employ of the dispensary,. and he is
acting under the following order is
sued some months ago by Chief Con-
stable Hammett:
Circular No. II.
To Division Chiefs: At my request
the State chemist has analyzed the
following articles, which I am in
formed are being sold in the State,
and his finding is given below:
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, $3.50
per cent. of alcohol.
DeWitt's Stomach Bitters, $500
per cent. alcohol.
Peruna, 80 per cent. of alcohol.
Cuban Gingeric, Gl. 10 per cent. of
alcohol.
| Please be advised that the sale AS
beverage of the articles named will
not be permitted and this will be your
authority to seize and ship in to the
commissioner all of which may be
found being handler as above indicat-
ed.
(Signed) u B. Hammett.
The chemists proof is obtained by
volume and by multiplying by two the
spirit proof is obtained.
| AS will be seen Peruna is not the
only patent medicine that is prohibit
ed unless a physician recommends it's
use. There have been many seizures
of patent medicines and beverages
that contain alcohol. The warehouse
at the dispensary is full of stock of
this kind.
This action is taken under section
555 of the dispensary law, which reads
as follows:
"The manufacture, sale, barter or
exchange, receipt or acceptance for
unlawful use, delivery, storing and
keeping in possession within the State
of any spirituous, malt. vinous, fer
mented, brewed whether lager or rice

or mixture thereof, which contains

cept as is hereafter provided, is here

less than three or more than twelve
months at hard labor in the State PEN
| itentiary. or pay a fine of no less than
800 nor more than $500, or both fine
and imprisonment, in the discretion
of the court, for each ofenss. "-The

LOOTING LlA0YANG.
Russians Started it, Chinese Con-
tinued and Japanese Finish
ed the Work.

Liaoyang, Sept. s, va Tientsin,
Sept. 1.-THE looting of Liaoyang
has few parallels in that annals of
warfare. Three armies on three diff
ferent days had possession of the city
and engaged in acts of depreciation:
When the Japanese drove the Rus
slams out the Russian soldiers realized
that the town must fall and forgot all
discipline. They looted the town,
sparing neither Chinese nor Euro
pean shops, destroying what they could
not carry away. They not only de-
stroyed great quantities of foodstuffs
and other goods, ripping open bales,
bags and boxes with ever ready bayo-
nets and scattering their contents over
the streets. Much liquor was found
and the soldiers becoming drunk, COM
mitted further excesses.
During the interim of the departure
of the Russians and the arrival of the
Japanese the Chinese soldiers and po-
lice finished the work the Russians be-
gan, pillaging the shops that we're
not found by he Russians. Then when
the japanese came they completed the
looting. They had been fighting for
five days without food, except dry
rice, and broke loose on entering the
town. The japanese looted right and
left. The shops having already suffer-
ed the japanese turned their attention
to the pravate houses. They wanted
food principally but overlooked moth
ing.
This was the first time in this wal
that the Japanee were guilty Of looting
a captured city, an their officers we're,
much disturbed by the outbreak.
When order was restored the Japa-
nese soldiers were taken out of the
walled city, and now are not allowed
inside without special pass.
The Russians burned great qunti-
ties of supplies.

Roosvelt's One Sided Intensity.

Golfers for September II compares
Roosevelt's behavior toward the pre-
judices of the South to the policies of
Lincoln and Mckinley as follows:
Although it is coarse exaggera-
tion to trace any one act of violence,
whether by negroes or avenging mobs,
to Mr.. Roosevelt, it is the dreadful
truth that his behavior has increased
the depravity Of the negroes and the
unreason of the whites. In situa-
ton requiring tact and patience-vir-
tues brought to this task by Lincoln
and McKinley-Mr. Roosevelt has
used that narrow, one-sided intensity
with which Presidents aud their ad-
wiser have cursed the South, from
Andrew johnson to Henry Cabot
Lodge. One of Mr.. Roosevelt's vir-
tues, however, is his ability to learn.
He spoke useful words recently, in re-
fusing to pardon a negro criminal.

RACE ISSUE IN SOUTH AFRICA.
Serious Problem Presents Itself
to British Authorities.

An interesting and suggestive ad-
dress on the native question IN South
Africa was delivered by Lieut.. Gen.
Sir Charles Warren to large gather
ing at Pentre, in the Rhonda Valley,
recently.
Sir Charles maintained that for the
future of South Africa the white man
should be given the opportunity of ex-
ercising his capacity for work. The
mining interests in South Africa really
constituted very small part of South
African industries.
The agricultural interst was, i'll his
opinion, of great concern, and if they
were to have South Africa as British
colony where white children might be
brought up and thrive it was impera-
tive that the white man should be en-
abled to work. He could not now
work alongside the native. This was
attributable to the great disparity in
point of civilization between the two
races.
+ There were two classes of natives.
One was the yellow class, which in
cluded several tribes together suppos-
ed by some to be descended from the
Chinese or Japanese. These showed
signs of having been once more or less
civilized but degeneration had subse-
quently set in, and it was notorious
that 200 years ago they we're far more
civilized than they are at the present
time.
There was also another race, which
included the Basutos and otirer Kafil
tribes. This race also showed signs OF
having been once civilized.
What made it impracticable for the
white man to work with the natives
was that at the present time the latter
were absolutely almost uncivilized,
notwithstanding their ancient culture.
A historian had said that there were
three methods of dealing with the ma
tiyes-either to exterminate them, OF
to amalgamate with them, or that
there should be separation to differ
ent part of the country. He advocted
the last solution to the problem.
A separation conld be made into
large territories, as was already the
case in Basutoland, and in time the
native. if he were capable Of being
educated at all, might arrive at the
full rights Of citizenship the same as
the white man.
It> was recognized that the larger
proportion of the natives, who were
incapable of exercising their powers OF
mind, were as ignorant rs white chill
dren 0nder IL years of age. These
should be looked after by benevo-
lent government.
The introduction of intoXicants in
to their territories ought to be prohib-
tied, too, and good schools provided.

MAJOR STANLEY
 ANSWERS SUMMONS.
Had Been Attending Confederate Reunion at Nashville and h. tended Joining Family
 at Worlds Fair.

Nashville, Tenn, June IT, Major Thomas E. Stanley, Con- federate veteran from Augusta, Ark, died here last evening of heart disease.
 Major Stanley had attended the Confederate reunion and had intended going to St. Louis, where his wife and family are visiting the Worlds Fair.
 Major Stanley was taken i'll at dinner and despite the efforts of two physicians succumbed soon after. His family was notified and will meet the remains in Memphis Saturday on their way home.
 Maj. Stanley was in apparently good health when he went to Nashville. He was prominent in central Arkansas and the news of his sudden death comes as a shock. He was mayor of Augusta, president of the Bank of Augusta, was a member of the house of representatives in 1877, 1879 and 1881, and in 1882 was a candidate for the Democratic nomination for governor, when Hon. J. H. Berry was nominated. He is survived by his wife, one daughter and two sons.

LETTER TO MIR. s. WOLFF,
 NEWPORT, ARK.

Dear Sir: Devoe is worth $4 or S5 a gallon, put on; how much is another paint worth?
 Depends on how many gallons you've got to put on, to be equal to one of Devoe.
 Mr. J. J. Hill, Sheffield, Pa. ;, painted two houses one coat five years ago, lead-and-oil, took 40 gallons.
 Last summer bought 40 gallons Devoe for same houses; had ten gallons left.
 MT. N. Avery, Delhi N. r., owns two houses exactly alike; painted one with Devoe; took s gallons. The other with some other, took 12 gallons.
 What'd you give for those off paints? Bear in mind, you've got to pay for the painting.
 Yours truly,

 A man and woman were seer the previous afternoon near the park with an infant, but theil identity cannot be established.
