Not long ago the authorities at
Washington were taking steps to Sc
cure some lighthouse keepers, and the
Civil Service Commission advertised
an examination for candidates.
The stenographer who typewrote the
advertisement made it call for Eight

So Washington had its jokes about
the weight limit Of applicants, and a
proposed department of domestic
economy" and all the other puns and

gests.

Advance In Price Of Dispensary Goods.

No case goods, either corn or rye, will
be sold by the dispensaries when the
retail price is less than 81. 25 per quart.
This decision has been reached by the
dispensary board of directors after a
careful revision of the purchasing lists
and calculation as to the profits which
accrue from the sale of the stuff. At a
recent meeting the board went over the
lists and found that there were many
brands which were fold for 90 cents up
to 81 10. in which tho.s was iittie profit.
Nhe rule was then passed and all of the
hu 'ses will be notified at once.
M nbers nf the board said that the
object # the board was to buy the whis-
key nov sold in case goods, in large
quantities in barrels and kegs, and to
bottle it at the dispensary. This will
apply to corn and rye whiskey, and the
regulation dispensary labels. although it
will be of higher grade than the three
KS and will have distinctive name.
Each brand will not bear the name of
the distlling house as is now the case,
but the various whiskies will be sold for
the same price and the quality will not
be changed.
1t is also stated that another main
reason in this action by the board is that
it will prevent whiskey drummers work
ing up retail trade in the various towns,
and that this has been one of the main
kicks by some of the opponents of the
dispensary. The rule is at present only
an experiment, and if it does not work
with the limit placed as high as S7.35 it
will be lowered to meet the demand.

The Jamestown Fair.

The House and Senate have voted an
appropriation of S250,00O for the James
town exposition This fair will celebrate
the third centennial anniversary of the
first enduring settlement of English
speaking people in America.
In point of historical interest the
jamestown fair should be at least equal
to that Of tho Columbian exposition,
which celebrated the discovery of
America by Columbus. jamestown was
settled in 1907, thirteen years before the
Mayfower with its Puritans and morality
dropped anchor in Plymouth bay. This
was the real beginning of tho United
States of America; it was the prepara-
tion of the soil for the growth of the
race of WaslingtOns, Jeffersons, Patrick
Henrys and Lees. 1t was the beginning
of Virginia, with all that Virginia signi.
fies in American history.
The exposition will probably not at
tempt to rival in size either that of ST.
Louis or that of Chicago, but it should
be equally as successful. 1t should have
distinct character, and the patriotic
features should predominant. Atlanta

Will Stop Oyster and Clam Digging.

Charleston, March 2.-It is probable
that the oyster and clam dealers and
canning factories will test the constitu-
tionality of the new law passed for the
protection of the shell fish industry.
The high license of S400 and the tax of
cents on every bushel of oysters and
CLANS marketed and the provisions affect
ing the boats engaged in the business,
are considered too drastic, practically
amounting to prohibition, and unless
the law is amended or its operation held
up by the court, tho doors of the fac
tories and dealers will have to close,
according to well informed authority.
