Another instance Of unwarranted au-
thoriJy was in the ease Of Edward Terry,
president of the Columbia Transfer Com
papy. OF this city. Mr.. Terry informed
me to-day that on last Sunday he was
held up by Collins, who demanded so for
an alleged violation Of the automobile
regulation.
AS nc was not aware that he was
trdnsgTessing The laws Of Glen Echo. Mr.
Terry entered into an argument with the
constable, wheTeUpOu he was Informed
that If he did not Immediately produce
the sum demanded. he would be assessed
an additional ten for contempt of court
This occurred on the public highway
In order 20 avoid any trouble, Mr.. Terry
paid the money and returned TO Wash

The automobilists purpose taking the
most rigorous steps, not only To bring the
town marshal TO a proper realization Of
what his legal duties are, but such as viii
compel him to treat with respect the citi-
zeus who travel peaceably along that
highway. We viii also determine the

he claims authority 10 make such ar

5 Lo0KER.ON IN IOWA

Toledo, March 9.-We all know that
the order of the day is, if you want
business you must &C after t. the man
that sits down and expects it to come
to him finding out, too late, that his
competitor has got there" But no
line of business is having more siren
uous time just at present than the
school book men. There was a day
when this gentlemanly travelling agent
for these publishing houses could wear
his silk hat, broadcloth suit and pat
ent leather shoes, stop at the best ho-
tells, call on the county superintendent
tells, call on the county superintendent,
the school board, and entertain these
public officials, both by his interesting
conversation, as we'll as at the hotel
in a more substantial manner. But
now he has to do all this and more.
Now, right in mud time, he daily hires
a livery team and driver and makes
the country districts. Takes blank
forms of petitions along, and gets sig
natures, just the same as though he
was after the postoffice. It's not a
days work. weeks work, but A
months work and longer, he drives

sentiment merely as stab at him.
Senator Tillman admits that there
has been corruption and graft in con-
nection With the dispensary system,
while the good done has not been
brought to light at all. He proposes
changes in the law that will put the
liability of graft at minimum ana
will insure nothing but pure Whskies.
He is inclined to the belief that If the
sale of light beverages, like beer and
wine. can be encouraged in the state,
it would result in a large decrease in
drunkenness and the expenditure of
much less money for drink.
He is an advocate of selling the priv
ilege to dispense beer in the state to
some great brewing concern by bid, the
highest bidder to sell this beverage en-
tirely under dispensary law regula-
lions, which would put the state out of
business, but give 1t the revenues. He
believes that the encouragement of the
sale of mild drinks is the best practi-
cal temperance solution in the world.
There is no question that the South
Carolina senator is worked up to high
pitch. He declares that local option is
a snare and delusion and that If the
people will not continue to support the
dispensary system as a whole, he will
advocate straight-out prohibition There
are indications that the threats of the
senator have frightened some members
of the legislature, but they dislike to
recede from their position at this time.

"The door of the drug shop Of the
elder of our church was several times

the remark that there was probably
nothing of value within. Several OF
the church members lost property, one

killed by shot fired thru the door OF

Robbers Raid in China.
An interesting story of robber raid
in China has come here from the Rev.
G. e. Patton, Presbyterian mission
ary stationed at Canton. The incident
occurred during missionary trip in
