The famous "whiskey boat is out OF
commission. It piled on the river be-
tween Tunica and Coahoma counties
and did flourishing business with the
levee negroes. For years it was a
sr,hiect of contention between Missis-
Sim, and Arkansas. and the enactment
of a law by the latter state prohibiting
issue of liquor licenses in towns or less
than 500 is responsible for its demise.
The boat was licensed at Westover'
Ark, and this town comes under TINS
law. The history of the "whiskey
boat" is filed with grewsome accounts
Of killings and outrages. and all river
men will recall memories Of its halcyon
days.-Nobile Register.

TEST FOR COLONIAL BELLE
Girls Pasded Around Dksn Until Chosen for
the Dance.

1t il a great pity that the treadmill
has vanished IL was the quaintest and
most important feature of the social lie
at White Sulphur Springs, and had not
its like anywhere in the world. Some
wit OF colonial day gave the great room
that name Here all the girls and their
mothers met after supper preceding the
dancing of the evening german. In the
center Of the room was "a circular diyan,
and around this the girls paraded either
with their mothers, their chap -rODs or In
pairs The object was to be chosen Tor
the german Woe 10 the girl who was
left.
II this happened the first two nj hts,
tears and agony were followed by re-
treat. Ii was cruel test for any wO-
mans nerves, yet il continued as the
foremost custom Of the place for nearly
"a century. The real bellies were snatched
by partners before they had advanced
many steps in the parade, but many a
girl had her heart almost broken because
she was too young and too intense to
know that failure 10 catch beau Tor
the dance did not write one down a fail
ure elsewhere.
Round and round the parade circled
until the dance was well on in the ball
room. For this hour girls and matrons
wore their proudest array OF clothes.
Ii was this steady tramp, tramp over
the same worn way that suggested the
name of the treadmill.
1t must have been a rarely lovely
sight, despite the strain, in Colonial days
when the belle with patch and powder,in
satin aud brOcade, met the gay cavalier
with elk knee breeches, ieweled laces and
silver buck les. .-Ainslee's Magazine.

THE HAM INDUSTRY
Virginia Dealers Cannot Ship Because Meat is
Not Inspected.

The meat inspection, which went into
effect Tuesday, is giving trouble to pack
ers of Smithfeld hams in Isle OF Wight
county. IL has been found to be imprac-
ticable to inspect the hams as il done in
the case Of live stock butchered ia regu-
lar packing establishments, and until
this can be done the dealers in these hams
at Smithdeld will be greatly "ham' -pered.
The Department of Agriculture would
he willing To send inspectors to Smith
field were the hogs slaughtered there,
but il il impossible to send them to the
homes OF the various farmers To inspect
the living animals In order to make an
inspection which will meet the require
ments OF the statute, it is necessary for
the inspectors to have the heart, liver
and probably other portions Oi the in-
terror architecture OF the animal. OBJ
viously, it is not pOssihl' for these to be-
sent To the Smithheld dealer.
Secretary Wilson has held that the
dealer may sell to the consumer outside
OF the State without prior inspection,
but that be cannot sell To other dealers.
Senator Martin has taken up the matter
with the department. and IL trying To
induce the secretary To agree To an
amendment to the law which " i'll allow
discretion in the matter of suSpending
the law in cases similar To those of the
Smithield ham dealers.
Senator Martin said Thursday that
dealer at Charlottesville il also making
complaint that he is not allowed To send
hams which he purchases TO Washing
ton, owing 10 their not having been in
spected prior to being offered for ship
ment. The farmer who butchers the
hogs is allowed to ship them ont Of the
State, and the dealer may 30 ship them
il the consignee be a customer. Capt.
Lamb, who II the senior Democratic
member OF the Committee Un Agriculture,
says that the farmer will have To pro-
cure from the Department of Agriculture
a permit in order to be able to ship hogs
and cattle ot his own butchering To
points outside the State.
