Chief Constable Makes Report.

p = : +
Columbia, Dec "a. Chief Ham
NETT has submitted his report for the
quarter ending November 80 with a
summary of his years work to Gov
ernor Hayward. The chief called
attention to the fact that a vast diff
ference exists between the record of
last year and this year in the number
OF convictions of violations of the
dispensary law, the amount of fines
imposed and the amount. of fines col
lected.
During the year ending Novem-
Der 30, 1905, the total number of
casas of violations of the aisps...sas=y
law was 412, while for the year just
ended, 576. In 1905 the amount of
fines imposed was $16,S86, while in
1905 the amount was s8O,299. The
amount of fines paid in 1905 was
$S,472, while in 1905 the amount was
s15,S27.50. In 1906 there were 103
persons to serve on the chain gang,
while in 1905 there were I4S.
Chief Hammett says that his pri.
vate opinion is that the report gives
a healthy appearance and thatl he
thinks the appearance is due to the
fact that the people of the State
generally are giving the constables
aid in enforcing the law.
The cost of the constabulary for
the quarter ending November 80,
1905, was as follows: For Septem-
ber s5,514.O9, October s6.158.71, and
November s6,O14.51, making a total
of $17,6s7.31.
Following are the amounts charged
against the counties which have
voted out the dispensary aud subse-
quently asked for the aid of the con-
stabulary in enforcing the law. These
figures show the amount with which
they are in excess of the value of
liquor fees credited to them: Green
vile s4,272.69, Pickens s4,424.7O,
Ooonee s1,47s.24, Spartanburg
s5,437.65, Anderson s4,474.9s.

The value of Literary Criticism.

The Value of Literary Criticism.
Has literary criticism any value? a
contemplation of it's blunders almost
makes one hesitate to say "Yes." The
history of literature. ancient and mod
ern, shows that If Homer sometimes
mods Arlstarchus Is still oftener found
mapping. The oracles of criticism, like
all others, have erred In all ages and
never more egreglously than when they
have been most confident and most
dogmatic in their judgments. To a
reader who lacks Imagination and
taste the most exquisite poetical con-
ceptions and expressions are like Gu
neiform writing or roll from Pom
peii.
j. BlancO White, speaking of wo-
man carrying primroses by his win
dow, says, "They were new prImroses,
so blooming and so tender that 1t
might be said that their perfume was
received by the eye." This is a novel
end striking thought, which only the
fondest love could have suggested.
But think Of the scorn which the mon
sense" would elicit from a cold blood.

Second Sight ana Mirage.


Has Second sight any relation to
the phenomena Of mirage? The fol-
lowing anecdote suggests that second
sight may be the result of "refraction
Of events" In normal way. The Rev.
-. celebrated scholar, who tells the
tale. was fishing Loch Leyen with
Lord -. They were out Of sight OF
the little wooden pier whence the boats
start. Mr.. - remarked that Lord
- was gazing with strange and
startled expression across the loch.
"What Is the matterr' he asked. ave
are out Of sight Of the pier. are we
not?~ answered Lord -. Certainly
we are" said Mr.. -. "well, saw
the pier and boat coming In. with a
very tall. heavy man lying In II. The
boatman lifted him ON to the pier
with difficulty. He seemed to be
deads Returning at sunset. the an
gler found that heavy fisher bad died
suddenly in his boat and been lifted
to the pier at the moment when Lord
- saw the thing happen.
Could this be case of natural re-
fraction, as when friend Of mine,
walking down Market street, st. An
drews, with his back to the cathedral,
saw the cathedral facing him? Much
amazed, he asked q passerby If he
saw anything unusual. "Man. see

vision was shared, but Mr.. did
