MUST NOT TALK
WITH MOTORMEN
TR0UBL MAY ENSUE FROM
MANDATORY ORDER
Pacific Electric officials Say That
People conversing With Carmen
Are Responsible for Many
Accidents

The renewal Of an old order pro-
hibiting conversation with the motor
men on the Pacific Electric cars prom
ises to make quite a little trouble for
the company and to Inconvenience in
nocent people. The order has been In
effect for several years, but with laS
enforcement, and the people have come
to almost disregard 1t. The superin-
tendent has issued bulletin calling
the atte.-sion Of the motormen to the
order.
Under the new rules passengers are
not allowed to stand in front Of the
seats in the forward part of the car
The officials say that people standing
around the motorman and attracting
his attention by asking questions are
responsible for many of the accidents
that occur, and that the order is put
Into effect to protect the public.
A protest from a large number or
people has been registered. 1t is only
on crowded cars that people desire to
stand in the front part of the car ana
they resent being ordered to stand in
the aisle when they could comfortably
lean against the rail that closes the
steps on one side of the car.
Last Friday afternoon three men
took their places on the front end OF
Pasadena car. After the conductor
had collected their fares the motorman
ordered the men to stand in the aisle.
One of them complied, but the other
two insisted on having their money
back and getting off the car. The con-
ductor gave them their money, for this
Is in accordance with the rules of the
company.
other instances have occurred where
the car men have been compelled to
use force to get the people to observe
the rule. This gives rise to the opinion
that it will cause much trouble for
the men on the cars.

STATE PROHIBITION
Voted Amrmative|y by South
Carolina Representatives.
QUESTION UP TO SENATE
Dispensaries May Be Abolished Alto
aether and a System of Local Qp.
ton Adopted by the -
legisltors. ..

BY a majority the house of repre-
sentative of South Carolina Friday
passed the Morgan bill, which pro
vides for the abolishment of the state
dispensary.. The new measure pro-
| vides for local optcn in&the counties
that is, each county may have .
dispensary, under county control, or
prohibition. The high license feature
was eliminated in order to secure the
passage of bill which would remove
the dispensary as. state institution.
The bill now goes to the senate,
but that body has bill Of it's own
which provides for the retention OF
the state dispensary under new form
Of management. - ..s. d.
The matter is engaging more atten-
tion than any other matter before the
general assembly. To forecast the
probable action of the senate on the
Morgan bill would be the merest
guess work. AS. one senator stated, he
would not attempt to forecast the &C.
ton Of the higher body until the vote
was taken.
It was rumored in the lobbies, how
ever, that the Morgan bill at this time
had a majority of six votes in the
senate. AS the bill will hardly be
up in the senate for week or ten
days it is impossible to say what the
sentiment may be at that time.
The Morgan bill is lengthy in detail,
but the more important features are
that the present dispensary restric-
tions which provide that liquor shall
not be sold in less quantity than half
pints, no sales after sundown nor
drinking on the premises are retain
ed. Counties may Immediately vote
for 'sale or no sale" on petition Of
one-third of the qualified voters, but
a vote cannot be had oftener than ev-
cry four years. No counties which
have voted out the dispensary-six-
teen in number-can vote for "sale
or no sale" under two years from the
passage of the bill.
The chief reason for the change is
the alleged corruption which has been
unearthed by the legislative investi.
eating committee, which has just been
granted enlarged powers, and which
promises to bring out even more seu-
sational evidences Of graft.

A Crazy Cow.

" recall a case where a;.cow, usu-
ally extremely gentle in her denlean-
or. became suddenly mad, probably
because Of chewing on a buckeye
bush: and started in a wild chase
after friend of~nline. He had good
start and was able to clear the pas
ture fence before the COW could reach
him. Just as he fell on the opposite
side the COW rammed the fence, and
my friend was buried by at least a
wagon load of rails, stakes and riders.
We mad to dig him out after the COW
had cooled somewhat. He was
bruised up somewhat, but he swore
he never felt better in his life than ne
did with all of those fence rails piled
up on top of him. Why he said.
philosophically, that crazy cow would
have gored me if she hadn't showed

couldn't help laughing. 1t takes more

the debate was the lengthy speech
Of Mr.. Sfbley of Pennsylvania, who
arraigned the legislation with argH-s
ments. of varied character, All of
which tended to give his reasons for:
being unalterably opposed to the
bill.
When he charged that the legislat;

Mr. Sibley said he would advocate
