The following correspondence ex
plains itself:
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1907-05-22

The News and Courier cannot
bear the idea of anybody else
discovering good in Grover
Cleveland, and because John Nc
Laurin pointed to some good act
of the ex.President he gets a
crack on the knuckles from the
knuckles from the Charleston
worshipper. It is true, John
McLaurin did criticise some OF
Cleveland's acts; the bond issue
for instance, but, because he dis
agreed with. :sonly Democratic
President we have had in fifty
years" upon matter of business
policy, it does not necessarily
follow that no good can come
out of a Cleveland. We think
our Charleston contemporary
has manifested a very unfriendly
disposition towards ex-senator
McLaurin. but perhaps there is
method in this madness. Tillman
is in the Senate and in position
to jerk the appropriation string
for Charleston.

There is a law in South Dakota

There is a law in South Dakota
which requires a license from
those who solicit orders for
liquor, and if similar law is
enacted in South Carolina, and
the license fee made large en-
ough, it will put a quietus upon
these travelling whiskey dealers
who are going over the country
processing to be taking orders:
but are in fact selling whlskey
out and out. The South Dakota
law has been tested before the
United States Supreme Court
and sustained. The plea of inter
state commerce would not work:
and the person convicted under
the act was forced to pay the
penalty. There can be no objec-
ton to such a law in this State.
To require a heavy license in
each county and a severe penalty
for the breach Of the law will
be an advance step towards en-
forcing prohibition, in prohibi
ton counties, and a protection
to dispensaries in dispensary
counties. In Kentucky there is
a. Statute which makes common
carriers and express companies

Oxygen and Mushrooms.

= singular way Of removing oxygen
from the air by the aid Of q plant Is
as follows: Inside a glass bell jar, sus-
pended over water, Is placed a nush-
room, and sunlight is allowed to fall
upon the plant. The mushroom ab-
serbs the oxygen from the air In the
jar, and the carbonic acid formed dur
ing the process is absorbed by the wa
ter, which gradually rises In the Jar
to one-ffth Of its height. The mush-
room now dries up, but its animation
IS only suspended, as may be proved
by introducing beside it green plant,
when it will recommence to vegetater
being nourished by the oxygen exhaled
from the fresh plant.
