Special to The State.
Blacksburg, Nov. 22.-Only few
days over year ago, Cherokee county,
under the provisions of the Brice law,
took the initiative in abolishing the
dispensary system, and by a majority
vote of nearly five to one, forced the
closing of the institution at this place
and at Gaffney. Since that time the
people of the county have made strenu-
GUS efforts to enforce the prohibition
law, but the citizens of that section
of country bordering on the North
Carolina and York county lines, De'
lieve that they cannot, effectually
stamp out the numerous blockade dis-
tilleries which infest that portion OF the
county without aid from the governor.
all efforts to secure the assistance Of
the uroper federal authorities having
proved fruitless. From q reliable
source, it ia stated that for the above
reasons, q petition has been forwarded
to the governor which reads in part as
follows: J..
We, the undersigned residents Of
Cherokee township, Cherokee county,
s. c., beg to call your attention to the
following matter: ;,
uThe dispensaries at Blacksburg and
Gaffney were voted out by the people
under the provisions of the Brice act,
Nov. 9Th, 1904. Prior to that time
there were q number Of prosecutions
for the illicit manufacture and sale.;of
liquor in said territory, but, since the
closing ofthe dispensaries at the places
above referred 10 and consequent re-
moval of the State consiables, the IN.
crease in the illicit manufacture and
sale of LIQUOR has increased to such al
extent that 1t has become source OF
the greatest annoyance to the respect
able and lawabiding residents of this
township. While blockade distillerlee
have been destroyed In this territory,
we most positively assert that tnere
are at least four of that kind not In op-
Grafton. There Is United States de-
puty marshal in this county but he 1s
located at Gaftney and though the con-
ditiou of affairs in this section has been
repeatedly called to his attention, ne
remains inactive anu cOnuueo uiheoh

west side Of Broad river and upon
which side blockade distillery has new.
er been known to have been operated
In the last 20 years.
"For the above reasons. we most
respectfully urge your excellency to
place State constable at Blacksburg,
which ie adjacent to the territory In
tested by the parties referred to.
Therefore, feeling confident that
YOU will aid us in ridding ourselves OF
this lawless element, we remain.
The petition, from what your CORE
spondent can learn, has been signed, by
the most respectable people OF the I'M,
mediate section of country troubled ano
by those of the adjacent section.

Another New Orchard

Professor johnson has graded and
fenced eight acres lying just west of
the north end of Snake river bridge,
and has set six acres of it to trees.
In the lot are trees Of varieties as
follows: 20 prune, 20 pear, 40 cherry
and 476 Jonathan apple. This was
a pretty rough piece of land and cost
about $50 an acre to plow and grade
it. For the past twenty years it was
regarded as useless except as a camp
ing spot for travellers, and not very
good for that, but now it will soon be
yielding fruits. The old rutty, sandy
road along the north side has been
graded and fenced, the rough land
north Of the road has been arranged
in nice terraces, and there is a lot Of
orchard and raspberry land yielding
buds on the land just west Of these
patches.

More of "Champagne Flat"

The articles which we published
about Champagne Flats have been SC
widely copied by other papers in the
state, and we have had so many in
quiries as to whether there is more
of the subject coming, we have decid-
ed to publish some more incidents
which we at first supposed would not
interest the public. Then there are
others which we shall not publish for
the reason that the editor of this sheet
is not yet ready to "hide out" nor
leave the country. We have been in
vestigating the regards Of the Idaho
penitentiary and the asylum, and may
give you column or so at times about
certain characters that have figured
at Champagne Flats and are now fig
uring to get out, but if we can spare
space next week we may tell you about
a mysterious well or a fortune that is
still missing or a man buying an old
wagon that proved to be a gold brick.

A Chance for a Girl.

There is always some gritty schoo
girl looking for a chance to make
money without working at something
that is too heavy for her or which is
likely to cut her off from pleasant
associations, and there are always
things to do which will win out if
she can discover and take hold of
them right.
People who visit this locality are
generally curious about magpies, and
when they find one that is trained to
talk, they want to- buy. There are
plenty Of people In other states who
have money for just such nonsense
as magpie, and the season is ap-
preaching when magpies are hatch
ing in The willows and when boys and
girls love to hunt. We are wondering
who is going to start magpie me-
nagerie on some vacant lot with a
small investment Of wire netting for
cages and yard room. The summer
might be spent in training them, just
as we'll as doing nothing, and every
time a tourist pays five or ten dollars
for bird he will think he has done
something smart. and the girl who
gets the money will be pretty sure
she has done the smart thing. A lit
tie attention to the birds and some
careful advertising among the people
who visit the town will attract them
to the menagerie. The price of ad-
will be no mean sum in the
course of the season, and the sale of
birds might buy you a piano.

Street Bond Election

And the evening and the morning
were the second day, and the people
within the gates of the village turned
out to the number of three hundred,
three score and three to vote on the
subject of street bonds. Those that
were taxpayers voted good and strong,
and those that paid only personal or
poll tax felt their knees smite together
and went away. Those that voted yea
were. two hundred, two score and five
and those that voted nay were an hun
dred, one score wanting two. And
after the votes were counted and the
crier announced majority of two
thirds and nine for bonds, some of
the by-standers smiled, but others
went away and talked of contesting
the election.

A Chance for a Boy.

There is always a chance for some
thing new under the sun, and the fel-
low who gets hold Of it first makes
the money. There is saying, "Either
fish or cut bait," and some bright
school boy might figure out way to
do both, and make an honest dollar
besides.
Everybody wants to 60 fishing a
few times during the season, and the
common complaint and source OF
greatest anxiety is getting bait. Some
times they get bait and then find that
trout will not bite it because it is out
of season, and they are feeding on
something else. There are certain
conditions of soil that propagate
worms which trout are found of, and
careful investigation of this matter
might result in establishing "worm-
cry" where a busy clerk could send
in his order by phone an hour before
he is going fishing, and get a can OF
bait delivered at his door for a sum
that would be pleasing for both par.
ties.
But worms are not always in sea.

pers are required, and careful study

ed enclosure, and when people want
bait they can! have it sent to them at
the appointed time, alive and kicking,
in little wire screen cylinder, with
a trap door at the end where one will
come out time when opened. By the
time you get your "wormery" in
successful operation and your "hop-
pers" to Matching as you want them,
F. A. Sweet will probably have the
reservoirs in the desert stocked with
fish, and an electric line carrying peo-
pie out there to spend holidays and
evenings as they do at Saltair, and
you may find that the sale Of worms
and hoppers is the best ''graft" next
to running the electric road.

Creamery Wisdom.

| E. N. Mussleman Of the A. L. Brew
er Dairy Supply company Of Ogden
was in town recently on his way tt
Shelley, where he may install g
creamery. Mr.. Mussleman in speak.
ing of the status of the creamery fol
this country, said: "You can't es.
tablish creamery and have it work
ing nicely in week or month un-
less you have some good stock to
start with. This country has, per-
haps, the cheapest hay and forage in
the world, and the best markets for
dairy produce. You are close to the
great mining regions, and close to the
coast. Both the mines and the ocean
shipping require great quantities of
butter and cheese, and Of standard
quality; you have hardly enough Of
those products to bother with. The
wholesale houses on the coast that
furnish the butter for all those ocean
steamers that run to the Arctic re-
gions and the Orient must have a
source of supply that can furnish
great quantities, and all Of a given
standard. If they sent into Idaho
for five or ten carloads of butter,
they might get your ranch butter and
have five thousand different grades Of
it. That doesn't do. You must have
creameries, and they must work on
a large scale. The most approved
way nowadays is to have skimming
stations, and ship the cream to some
central point for treatment. One
creamery is capable Of handling all
the cream of this part of the valley,
and the town that goes at it right, if
it has central location, will build
up great business as the country
settles up. The trouble now is that
people have not the real dairy stock,
and the men who handle the cows are
MO more fitted for dairy work than
the stock. 1t takes nearly as long to
educate the stockman, that is, the
ranger, to handle dairy stock with
good results, as it does to breed up
the stock. The man who uses the
lariat and the branding iron is the
grandfather Of the real dairyman. He
never gets down to real dairying him
self, and this is one of the reasons
why the farmer in Illinois can con-
duct the dairy business on land worth
a hundred or two hundred dollars an
acre, ship his cream to Elgin and
then send the butter 1000 miles by
rail and sell it at a nice profit in Butte
and Pocatello and Mackay, while
your farmers do not find it worth
while to try"

School Notes.

The third months attendance has
been greatly disturbed on account of the
mumps, there being as many as fifteen
pupils out at the. same time, from the
different rooms. Since Thanksgiving,
the sick ones have been returning but
all are not in school yet. The second
quarters examination will.be.given.week
after next and it is very important that
parents have their children return to
school Just as soon as they are able if
they expect them to maintain there
grades. The tardies last month in the
city schools were Is and this month only
6. This is a decided improvement. The
enrolment is now 336. We regret to
report so many tardies from the out Of
town districts, and we are hoping for a
better report from this school next
month. Below will be seen the general
average of the different rooms;
