"In 1902, in gathering some evi-
dence for the Department Of Justice
for use in the case Of South Carolina
vs.. the United States, involving the
right Of the government to tax dis
pensaries, which was affirmatively
decided in the United States Supreme
Court last month, I had occasion to
prepare a blind tiger map Of Charles
ton. This map shows the location Of
POS blind tigers in the principal
part Of the city.
Il have just completed new map
Of the city, which shows POI blind
tigers in the same territory as they
exist today. As the previous map
was made during the Charleston ex-
position, there we're naturally lar
ger number Of blind tigers than there
are now.
"A comparison Of the two maps
shows that the greater portion Of the
blind tigers Of 1902 are still in
existence after a period Of four
years.
The drug stores Of Charleston are
drug stores. Scarcely any Of them
take out Federal tax receipts. Here
the grocery stores are the principal
offenders. A large number Of the
cheap corner groceries and some Of
the more pretentious affairs have
blind tiger attachments and pay the
Federal tax

The State and the Tigers.
The article continues. "The history
Of the attitude Of the.state and the
dispensary toward the blind tiger IN
dustry has been one of change. In the
early years Of the institution, the
state eonstabulary did stirring work
and some shooting scrapes followed.
These stirred up the people against
the institution for time.
.'In 1898 the dispensary adopted
the policy Of fighting the blind tiger
competition by putting on the mar
ket what they called EIGHTY proof
whiskey,' an article composed OF 80
per cent whiskey and 20 per cent wa
ter. a distilling plant was put in and
distilled water was used for watering
the whiskey. In this way brand Of
whiskey was put on the market at a
cheaper rate than the blind tiger
could supply it. The dispensaries
would sell whole half pint Of whls-
KEY for fifteen cents, the price OF a
simple drink in license state:, The
result was that the state was flooded
with cheap whiskey by the dispensa-
ries. The colored population partlc-
ularly became accustomed to chipping
five cents each into pool and buy
ing whiskey by the bottle and drink
ing It on the street corners. l have
stood on the street corners Of Charles.
ton frequently and seen three and
fcur parties Of eolored men sucking
at a bottle that they had bought from
dispensary for the price of a drink
in license state.
"The dispensary followed up this
attack on blind tiger competition
by lending it's influence in the direc-
ton of prosecuting liquor sellers who
we're in competition; that is, those
who did not purchase their supplies
from the dispensaries. This they were
able to do because the dispensary
practically controlled the machinery
of the dominant political party of the
state. The result was that the blind
tigers found it to their interest to
purchase their supplies from the dis
pensaries. Since the close Of the
wear 1898 until within the last two
years, the policy of purchasing their
supplies Of liquors from the dispensa-
ries has been closely followed by the
blind tigers.
1.-THE agitation growing out Of the
South Carolina dispensary case in the
court of claims has resulted in some
modification of this attitude Of the
dispensarv management towards the
tiger industry Since then, u new
scheme has been popular. Periodical

indeed, a success Eastern visitors
were surprised by the fine exhibits of
cattle and horses and other live stock,
and of the showing male in the agri-
cultural department. which, although
not as large as hoped for, was exceed
ingly fine. The county exhibits were
of the best, aud it will be the aim of
the management the coming year to
encourage counties to take a deeper
interest in the fair and secure larger
displays.
1t is possible that county seat fight
will break out in Sanborn county this
fall, the initial step being taken by the
club has been organized in that town,
the object of which is to promote the
interests of Forestburg. Behind the
movement is Dick Richards, of Huron,
who owns large amouns of property
in the vicinity of Forestburg, including
handsome 5000 residence on his
ranch. A petition will be circulated at
once to present to the county commits
sioners to secure their permission to
vote on the removal from Woonsocket.
Forestburg is in the geographical center
of the county and is on the line of the
Milwaukee road. Woonsocket is OH the
far western edge of the county.
Woonsocket's famous artesian we'll
has reached the limit of its usefulness,
and last week it was plugged for good.
Several months ago the casing gave evil
dence of having sprung big leak at a
depth too low to reach, and at various
times efforts were made to try and stop
the flow thru the broken pipe, but fail
ure resulted in each instance. From
the we'll Woonsocket's beautiful lake
was made, which served as a summer
resort, many people going there and
camping on the shores. The well had,
in its earlier days, the strongest pressure
of any in the state, and it was used as
an example of the best artesian wells OF
South Dakota.
The second test of the new caucus law
came this week, when the primaries
before the county conventions were
held. The law again has given salts
faction. The chance for dishonesty
was small. The simultaneousness OF
holding the primaries made stampeding
impossible. There have been no charges
OF unfair methods. Criticisms OF the
workings of the law are few, and it is
beginning to be conceded even by its
enemies to be superior to the old caucus
system.

The efforts of the United States fish

The efforts of the United States fish
commission to stock Lake Kampeska
with black bass are proving successful
About four years ago the government
put carload of bass minnows into the
lake, and two years ago another car
was ''plauted. Until the present sea
son the results have hardly been appar-
ent, but anglers are now cetching good
strings OF the gamy bass The largest
catch yet taken from the lake was a
string of thiTtv-seven, weighing from
one to three pounds. IL is believed now
that in four more years there will be
an abundance of black bass in KAN

Miss Birdie Gibson, Of Deadwood,
went to Denver few days ago to
remarry Charles Braudbaugh, from
whom she was divorced several years
ago Miss Gibson and Brandbaugh
were married in Deadwood and lived
together only a short time before
trouble arose and the divorce followed.
The unhappy wife took her maiden
name and accepted a position as stenog
rapher, but time and absence served
only to reawaken the old romance and
Miss Gibson left a few days ago for
Denver where Brandbaugh has good
position, and where they were married
again.
A movement behind which is the
new town of Murdo, is on foot in
Lyman county for a division OF that
large county. There are over fifty
townships in the county, and Ocama,
the county seat, lies at the extreme
eastern end of the county. But very
few of the townships are organized, and
the long distance from, the western side
to the eastern, fully ninety miles is one
of the reasons advanced for division
on a north and south line. 1t is not
likely that anything will be accom-
plished this year, but the movement
has been started for the future.
When Oklahoma was admitted as a
territory the South Dakota code was
adopted in its entirety as the territorial
law. Now that 1t is to be admitted as
a state, Oklahoma again has come to
South Dakota, and will use the revised
code as guide in framing laws for the
new state. That the laws of the older
and more experienced states should be
passed by and South Dakota chosen as
guide, and after fifteen years trial
should return for a second edition, speaks
well for the Lawmakers who framed
the code.

Dark Poultry Houses.

There are still many dark poultry
houses to be met with in the country.
Some of them are so dark that it is
a wonder that the hens can get along
without becoming diseased. 1t is also
a wonder how the floor of such a
house can dry out at all. 1t is not a
difficult matter to knock a hole in the
side of poultry house and put in a
window. This should be done now
while the weather is good, says the
Farmers Review. The additional light
will prove a great boon to the fowls
which will thrive better because of
the light in their dwelling house. In
the summer time this matter of light
is not of so much importance as it is
in the winter. In the summer the
fowls have the run of the farm and
spend but little time in the poultry
house, but in the winter they have
to spend very large amount of time
there, especially if the location is in
states where snow remains on the
ground duriLG considerable part OF
the winter.
