DISREGARD of law is the most serious

DISREGARD of law is the most serious
menace to the present day civilization.
Men invoke the law, or rather quote
law that is not law in support Of that
which they have no right to do. The
law is often held over individuals as
a threat, and frequently men are Co
creed to give up their rights by force
of law that is not law. Rigid and hon
est enforcement of law is the only
safeguard to personal liberty; but the
name of the law only used as an in
strument of coercion is no better
than blackmail.

worth careful consideration, because
it applies to South Carolina no less
than Virginia.
Suppose some man in Virginia with

An order was issued Mt Fort Mon
zoe yesterday morning giving all the
contractors doing work on the Old
Point reservation As hours In which
to clean up" the debris.
The order. which is a sweeping
one, was issued by Colonel George +.
IL. Harrison, the commanding officer
and directed that the contractors
should remove all material. fill in all
excavations, trenches and bitches, us

other materials will be allowed to re-

me order came as surprise to the
contractors, as forty.efght hours
means short time to many of them
The order informed the contractors
that unless they strictly conformed
10 the requirements set forth the
commanding officers would have the
material and debris removed by the
fort authorities.
Colonel Harrison returned from a
visit to Washington on the early
steamer yesterday morning and his
first act was to have the order pro.
muigated through the proper military
authorities.
Among many the opinion prevails
that some of the big dignitaries of
the army will likely come to Fort
Monroe within the next day or so and
the cause for the issuance of so
sweeping an order is attributed to
that fact. Colonel Harrison. however
mas given out nothing in connection
with the order, further than the re-
quirements set forth In the printed
one.

Monroe on tearing down the small

From the snow fall bulletin issued
by the state weather bureau the Sem
tinel extracts the following interest
ing statement regarding the snow
fall In the mountains during the past
few months:
For the mountain districts as
whole, the PRECIPITATION for the four
months ending December 31st has
been somewhat above normal. but the
distribution has been very irregular
September brought marked excess
to all districts, and the same Is true
of October. except on the western
slope of the central districts For
November the amounts We're general
ly small, except on the western slope
December was even drier than No
vember, and 1t was only in the south
western part of the state that more
than the usual snowfall occurred. In
general, the ground was well filled
with moisture before cold weather
set in. The depths given will doubt
less be materially modified for the
better by the later snowfalls. which.
as rule, furnish the water for the
early part of the irrigation season:
the present depth, however. will be n
factor in the flow of midsummer.
after the SHOWS of the spring have
disappeared.
