Bees Race Pigeons.

1t is not generally known that bees
are swifter in fight than pigeons

years ago a pigeon fancier Of Ham

dozen bees liberated three miles from
their hives would reach home in less
time than dozen pigeons. The com.
petitors were given wing at Rybern,
a village nearly a league from Ham.

Charleston Germans Ansered.

The Deutsche Zeitung, the Official
organ of the large German community
in Charleston, has printed a severe
attack upon Governor Ansel for his
efforts in enforcing the dispensary law
in Charleston by sending special con-
stables to the city and resorting to
the unusual methods Of securing in
functions under the common law, re-
straining the operation of blind tigers
as public nuisances.'
The paper editorially denounces the
constables as spies" saying that the
espionage is abhorrent to German SEN
timent. To the statement that Gov
ernor Ansel is a German. the Zsituns
says: 1--WE resent the impputation. One

and William Smith. both negroes, es'
caped from the state penitentiary at
Columbia one night the past week.
Both of the negroes have withered

escape is all the more marvellous

to this veranda, they succeeded in
opening the door at the end by fas.

with the use of stiff wire manipulat:
ed the lock in such a manner as to
open the door and make their escape.
The pair successfully ieluded the
guards at every point, end this, cou.
pied with the fact that the prisoners
in some manner unknown obtained the
wire. stick, keys, etc., to effect their
escape adds to the mystery.
Dean was one of the most notorious
prisoners in the penitentiary and was
up for life sentence. Smith had
only q short while longer to serve

Golfers can not dodge this public

waiting until we get petit jury IN

prodigal detractor Of institutions

No announcements during our en-
tire business career we're ever made
claiming medicinal effects for either
Postum or Grape-Nuts. Medicanal
effects are results obtained from the
use Of medicines.
Thousands OF visitors 90 thru our
entire works each month and see Tor
themselves that Grape-Nuts contains
absolutely nothing but wheat. barley
and a little salt; Postum absolutely
nothing but wheat and about ten
percent of New Orleans molasses.
The art of preparing these simple ele-
ments in q scientific manner to OBJ

required some work and experience to
acquire.
Now, when any publication goes
far enough out of it's way to attack
us because our advertising IS med

exhibition Of ignorance, or worse.

| lions from several counties asking the
house to submit constitutional amend
meht providing for prohibition. These were
presented to various members by a female
lobbyist, who has been at work on the
members all winter, and we're then pre-
scented and read. In the meantime, how
ever the committee on constitutional
amendments has voted to indefinitely post
pone this amendment and tomorrow, when
that order of business is reached, It will
be read. Inasmuch as the senate has
thrown the amendment over the transom
and the house has all It can do without
working on prohibition at this session. it is
very probable there will be little fighting
over the report OF the committee.
