Defect in the Law--Minors
Can Buy Poisons.

Columbia special in the News
and Courier In recent sui
eide case in this city Magistraie @
Fowles, who held The inquest,
found that the laudanum which
the unfortunate fellow had used
to end his life, had been pur
chased for him by a child whom
the suicide sent to a store for the
poison. Desiring to make an
example OF the seller of the poi
son, Masistrate Fowles assured
the mother of the child that he
would have warrant for the sell
Ter taken out but on looking up
the law more closely he discover.
ed that it was impossible to reach
the case, so far as he could as
certain. He referred the ques
ton to the Attorney General. Az
ter an exhaustive search of the
statutes, Assistant Attorney Gen
eral DeBruhl stated today that he
had been unable TO find any law
covering the case in point. There
are statutes regulating the sale of
certain poisons by druggists and
s,ipulating that poisons must be
labelled as such, but there is no
statute to cover the case of a
merchant, not druggist who
sells such a drug as laudapum.
There is nothing to prevent a
druggist or any one else from
selling poison to minor and
the principal safeguard in selling
poisons, as so far as the law is
concerned, is that a record must
be kept of such sales by druggists
and the poisons marked "poi-
son."

Wanted: Plan to Bring Old
Maids and Old Bachelors
Together.
From the Monroe Journal.

From the Monroe Journal.
An old proverb says that never
goose so gray but soon or late,
she finds some honest gander for
mate. Like most of the chunks
of wisdom that have been handed
down to us, this has to be taken
with a grain of salt. For instance,
the following paragraphs from
The Lancaster News:
"Owing TO scarcity of men,
fifteen young women at Hills
burg, Illinois, dressed as men,
danced with an equal number of
girls in female attire and escorted
them home in the early morning
ours.-Augusta Chronicle.
"Its a.safe bet that they didn't
have as good time as did the
Van Wyck Woodmen at their re
cent business meetiug.' an &C
count of which was published IN
The News at the time. 1t is "a
pity that the two events were
not pulled off together"
There are, it seems, plenty Of
geese and plenty of ganders, but
it is a trouble Of distribution -
There's many an old maid long
ing for mate and finding none,
when in some distant place is a
sturdy old gander, equally long
ing for response to his love
quack. Why don't some of the
problem solvers take up this
one ?

Shot His Brother-in-law.

Monroe Journal: Tebe Kiser,
a young white man of Lanes
Creek township, was shot by his
brother-in.law, Wriston Stewart,
Sunday morning at the latter's
home in Lanes Greek township.
Both are young men and married
each others sisters.
Kiser and his wife lived to-
gether only short time, and
two years ago he went to Georgia.
About two weeks ago he came
to the. house Of his father, II. f.
Kiser. There was an old quarrel
between the two young men, pro-
badly arising out of the trouble
between Kiser and his wife, and
they had quarrelled before. On
Sunday morning Kiser and a
friend, Will Morgan, hitched up
old man Kiser's mule 10 top
buggy and started out. About
ali that is known without ques-
ton and contradiction is that
pretty soon thereafter Kiser was
shot by Stewart with a shot gun.
The load took effect in his chest,
face and head. One eye was
destroyed and doubts exist as to
the other one.
