Farewell the Heron.
From the Lewiston Journal.

The splendid snow-white heron Is fast
disappearing, because the women have
persisted IN wearing aigrette plumes of
these birds. To secure these plumes 1t is
necessary to slaughter the birds during the
nesting season. in consequence of which a
once numerous order In nature is now al
most wiped out. The plumes are now worth
twice their weight in gold.

CAPTURED A STILL.

While passing through Blacksburg
last Friday morning, q representative

lice Duncan standing about the depot
with his legs covered with beggar lice
and his general appearance suggesting
night in the woods.
And what Is the matter with you"

Yep" replied Mr.. Duncan, went

ago."
"Possum hunting?"
Not exactly. 1t was an S5-gallon
moonshine still we were after, and we
got it, along with a quantity Of mash;
but we got no liquor, nor made no ar
rests"
In reply to further questions, Mr..
Duncan said that he had been notified
of the operation of a still over near the
battle-ground, and on advising Sheriff
Thomas Of the situation. that gentle
man brought Deputy U. S. Marshal
Hallman and Col. Doggett of Gaffney
and the party went in search of the
moonshiners.
1t Is the practice of moonshiners In
this locality to prepare their mash In
advance at different places and then

to another, keeping on the move so as

OPERATION OF THE LAW.

Although, II It sees proper to do so,
the county board Of control may order
that the Yorkville dispensary which
was closed today on account of the
election, be not opened tomorrow, the
dispensary will not be closed by the
regular operation Of the law for some-
thing like ten days.
The county board Of election COM
missioners will meet next Tuesday 70
canvass the votes cast in today's elec-
ton, and after the completion Of the
work will report the result to the state
board of canvassers.
The state board Of canvassers Will
meet at some date as soon as praca-
cable after being notified Of the work
of the county board OF election COM
missioners, and will then report to the
state board Of dispensary directors.
AS soon as 1t hears from the state
board Of canvassers, 1t will be the duty
of the state board Of dispensary d.
rectors to order the closing of the dis
pensary in Yorkville, and send officials
to check up the stock and remove the
same to Columbia.

Enforce the Law.

Now that a majority Of the qualified
voters of York county have declared
against the continued conduct Of the
state LIQUOR business in this territory,
Il Is incumbent on all who account
themselves as good citizens to get to-
gether for the enforcement Of the law
against those who would continue the
business in their private capacities.
The claim that prohibition cannot be
enforced Is not we'll founded In fact.
II citizens Of all classes-if only the
ordinarily law abiding classes-will do
their full duty, prohibition will prohi-
bit. There Is nothing wrong with pro-
hibition. The trouble. when there Is
trouble, is with the people.
We make the assertion and we think
that most well Informed men who are
disposed to be honest with themselves,
will agree with us. that the average
citizen Is not disposed to do his duty
in liquor case. He Is generally dis
posed to split hairs on the evidence,
and will return a verdict Of not guilty
when morally certain that guilty Is the
correct verdict.
Many notorious tiger has gone into
the courts with the evidence over
whelmingly against him and come out
unscathed. This has, been the case.
not only under the dispensary law; but
under prohibition laws as we'll. Under
prohibition jurors justified themselves
by splitting hairs and under the dis
pensary law they claimed that they
were unwilling to punish as crime
in an Individual that which was prae-
ticed by the state as q, virtue.
There are individuals. who claim that
the proper solution Of the. liquor prob
lem lies In high license. This is really
no solution at all: but people who favor
the sale of liquor regardless Of the con-
sequences persuade themselves to be-
lieve it is and so it goes. Those who
prefer high license to prohibition are
not inclined to punish violators of the
prohibition laws; but on the contrary
are disposed to leave such violators
alone so as to be able to point to their
activity as an argument In favor OF
high license. These also help to make
prohibition a failure.
In our opinion, prohibition, properly
enforced will diminish drinking and
drunkenness and promote prosperity
and happiness. The encouragement OF
blind tigers is calculated to promote
drunkenness and debauchery and un-
dernine law and order. cd.
There Is but one thing now for all
law abiding citizens and that Is to give
all the assistance in their power In the
enforcement Of the laws against the
sale of whisky.

In this case the stand was Just about
ready and the still kettle had been
placed preparatory to going to work
either Thursday night or during Fri
day. Such was the situation when the
officers arrived and although 1t Is quite
probable that the distillers had infor-
nation of what was going on, none of
them showed themselves. The still
kettle was taken to Gaffney where 1t
was cut up.
1t was Chief Duncan who obtained
the pointers which led up to the capt.
ure Of the still. He does not get any
thing out of work of this kind. and
when asked as to why he should take
so much trouble about breaking up the
operations of the moonshiners. replied:
We'll think 1t better to break them

that is less trouble than trying to run
down the tigers after they get their IL
quor to Blacksburg."
