TYPOGRAPHICAL MAPS,

How many people would like maE
of the district in which they live!
Surely there are very many who would
find convenient such a possession. To
the people of many districts i'm the
United States such n map-accurate
detailed, and of moderate size-is
available for the small sum of five
cents.
The United States geological survey
is making a topographic map Of the
United States. This work has been
in progress since 1882. and about three
tenths of the area of the country has
been covered. The surveyed districts
are widely scattered throughout the
country. When the atlas Is finally
completed, every citizen of the United

States may procure a federal map OF
his particular environment.
This great map is being published
in atlas sheets Of convenient size,
which are bounded by parallels and
meridians. The four-cornered division
of land corresponding to an atlas sheet
Is called a quadrangle. The sheets ara
of approximately the same size. the
paper dimensions being 20 by 16a
inches. Three scales, however, have
been adopted. The largest scale Of
nearly l mile to l inch Is used for
thickly settled or industriously impor-
tant parts Of the country. For the
greater part Of the country an inter-
mediate scale Of about 2 miles to l
inch is employed. A third and still
smaller scale of about 4 miles to l
inch has been used in the desert re-
gions of the far west. A few special
maps on larger scales are made Of linn
tied areas in mining districts.
The features shown on this map
may be classed in three groups: O
water, including seas, lakes, ponds,
rivers, and other streams, canals
swamps, ETC.; (2) relief. including
mountains, hills, valleys, cliffs, ETC.;
co culture, that Is, works OF man,
such as towns, cities, roads, railroads,
boundaries, etc. All water features
are shown in blue, relief is in brown
and cultural features are in black.
The sheets composing the topo-
graphic atlas are designated by the
name of a principal town or of some
prominent natural feature within the
district
They are sold at cents each when
fewer than 100 copies are purchased,
but when they are ordered in lots of
100 or more copies, whether Of the
same sheet or of different sheets, the
price is cents each. Applications
should De accompanied by the cash or
by postoffice money order (not post
age stamps) and should be addressed

ical Survey, Washington. d. c.

DR.. TAYLOR ON ALCOHOL

The series of lectures delivered In
Yorkyille last week by Rev. DR.. E. o.
TAYLOR of Boston. Mass, on the alco-
hol question were largely attended
and there Is no denying the fact tha'
the people who followed the lecturer
closest got a lot of valuable scientlnc
information that was little short OF
startling in it's nature. The speaker
made it clear that he not only under
stood all about the origin of alcohol;
but he also appreciated its effects on
the human mind and the human sys-
tenn. and he covered the whole sub
iect so thoroughly as to leave prac-
tically no more to be said.
The lectures were all delivered al
the First Presbyterian church. IL
had been arranged to deliver the
Saturday night lecture, the one that
included practical demonstrations In
the analysis of whisky, beer, bread
etc. i'm the court house; but 1t rained
in the afternoon on up until past the
time for the lecture to begin and
because of the small attendance the
lecture was abandoned. There were
two lectures Sunday, one in the AFTER
noon and the other at night.
The most interesting and valuable
lecture of the series, probably was
the one i'm which DR.. Taylor told OF
the nature of alcohol. This was Fri
day night. His subject was NIL
crobes and Men, or Chemistry of AL
cohol," and the lecture was about
two hours i'm length. 1t was able OF
course, and well-rounded; but the
most interesting and startling por-
ton of it is comprehended in the
following:
The discussion of scientific men re-
wolves around the nature of alcohol,
which is the essential property OF all
liquors. If alcohol Is good then the

GOVERNOR Hayward arrived in CO.
lumbia yesterday and took up the
B!ack-Lyon case. The understanding
is that he will investigate the matter
fully before announcing a decision.
The probability is that he will take no
action. We express this opinion be-
cause the governor has impressed US
as being inclined to be ultra conserVa-
tive in all matters of this kind. AS we
see it there was plenty Of evidence TO
warrant the removal of the entire OLD
board of directors, and II the facts In
the present case are as they have been
stated there is plenty of warrant for
the removal of Major Black. What we
mean to say is that If Major Black ap-
preached Mr.. Lyon with threats OF
violence on account of anything that
Mr.. Lyon has seen proper to do In his
capacity as a member of the inVesti-
eating committee, removal from once
Is only a mild punishment. 1t will be
remembered that even Senator T1llman
demanded the removal of the other di-
rectors and there have already been de-
velopments to show conclusively that
the present board is but little If any
better than the old board. OF course, 1t
is right and proper for the governor to
investigate before he acts. If it shall
develop that the attack on Mr.. Lyon
was warranted, then it is Mr.. Lyon
who should answer to the law.

SENATOR Tillman does not under
stand that the committee has any bus
mess investigating the present board
of dispensary directors. Why not!
Is there any reason to believe that the
present board is better than the old
board in any particular? If so we are
unable to see this reason.

THE Rock Hill Record has justly
made a kick against the manner In
which the county funds for advertising
are being distributed among the papers
of the county, pointing out along tnls
line that no paper except THE ENoUl:
RER is allowed so much as IS a year or
the patronage from the county seat
Fort Mill Times.
This matter is growing really seri-
ous This statement of the Record TO
the effect that save THE ENQUIRER. no
other paper in the county has received
as much as five dollars a year for ad-
vertising has been reproduced In all
the other papers except the ROCK Hill
Herald, and without a word of denial.
In his quarterly report, the supervisor
says he paid the Herald $4,000 last
quarter and the Herald does not deny
it. The presumption is that it must
have gotten the money. The same re-
port says that the other papers, in
cluding the Record. were paid from
$3.50 to $50.50 each. The Times ac-
cording, to this report received $29.15.
All this was in the last quarter to
say nothing of previous quarters. If
these papers had received this money,
it is not reasonable to assume that
they would have printed the foregoing
statement without some kind of an eX-
PLANTATION. The Times therefore, could
not have received the money it is rep
resented as having received. The su-
pervisor, however. has a bill of the
Times marked paid. He also has the
bills of the other papers all marked
paid. The treasurer has items on his
books representing that he gave up the
money, and the auditor has the various
orders drawn by the commissioners
and ostensibly endorsed by the people
in whose favor they were drawn.
There is evidently something very
wrong somewhere, and we are at the
end of our row. We can think of moth
ing further to do except to suggest
that the whole matter be referred TO
the grand jury. And by the way we
really believe it would be good Idea
for that body to look into this sub
ject anyway. 1t may get on to some
information that will prove quite in

FRANK LAKE
A SHOOTER
Local tioodlum In His Regular Weekly
Row-M0re Serious Charge
Is Alleged.

Frank Lake has broken into the
limelight again.
This time he is charged with ser
iuos infraction OF the law.
According to a complaint made at
the police station this morning, Lake
made an attempt to take Hamilton's
life.
1t appears that Hamilton was walk
ing past Lakes place of business in
the hollow district about 4 o'clock yes
terday morning when Lake appeared
at the door to his place, and waving
revolver, shouted:
Hands up, there!"
Instead OF obeying Hamilton con-
tinued to walk and mounted the steps
at the Bemiiji house. Lake followed,
hourishing his revolver. 49,,
On the porch Lake overtok Hamil-
ton and heaped a torrent OF abuse on
him. The two men grappled and Lake
fired his revolver. The bullet went wild
and Hamilton was not injured. The
sound OF the shot attracted number
Of people to the scene and in the con-
fusion Lake disappeared. 49, Il
Hamilton claims that he had known
Lake for several years but never before
had any trouble with him. He claims
that the assault was absolutely sun-
provoked on Lakes part. *9ii4 f5# a2l
Hamilton called at States Attorney
Barnett's Office this morning to secure
| a warrant for the arrest of, Lake.
Estates Attorney Barnett has issuel
two warrants for Lakes arrest; within
the past few days and hesitated to is
sue another because Of the difficulty he
has experienced in having witnesses
remain to prosecute Lake.
Hamilton was assured that il he
would give security that he would not
! do as other witnesses in cases against
Lake have in the past, namely, leave
the city as soon as the case was calle.l
| for trial, the warrant would be issued
