Hovls long and loud as those of the
wolf along the shore come from the city
of Augusta, which il in the State of
Georgia. As we have form ry remarked,
the county OF Aiken, State of South Caro-
lima, as soon as Georgia went dry, with
malicious glee thrust dispeusary at the
South Carolina end OF the bridge which
connects Augusta and the Palmetto State.
Now the Augusta Herald editorislly
means that the people of Its city ara
spending 1888, 900 year at the North
Augusta divpensary, which is on South
Carolina soil and therefore exempt from
the Georgia laws. Nobody stands on the
bridge at midnight while the clock is
striking the hour Judging from the
newspaper publications and other &c
counts, q large section of the population
of Augus'a begius to hit the ridge about
midday and the structure is kept crowded
until closing time at sunset. Then In
ebriase Augusta returns triumphant TO
the dry soil of Georgia, Haunting Its
stsggeriDgs, its lurchiugs, lis inebristion
aud it's imbecility in the face OF the
borriied Women Christian Temperance
Union and prohibition element. Also 1t
extrqcts froo IT'S oyercoat pockets large
TASKS and abysssl bottles sDd even In

Augusta drinks therefrom with profsrs

reyeeue from the tourists aud winter
yisitors at Aiken and from Georgisns
ahir.t at the bridge, rolls in wealth and

South Carolina legislature refuses to
iniefpose, remembering the day when
Georgia was wet sDd sent catarscts Oh
liquor over The river and the line to COM
pete with the State dispenssry. We do
not know how or where the solution OF
the trouble will be found. Augusts,
notwithstanding rigid prohibition law
in full force, IL druuker than ever before
in her history and the worst CT It is that
the money for the liquor is going away
from the city and the State and pouring
into he coffers of South Carolina. None
of Us need be surprised to hear of
severance Of diplomatic relations and
the burning Of the bridge connecting the
puiged and the plague stricken territories,
the Common wealth Of Hoke Smith saints
and the jovisl community OF Ben Tillmsn

burned it would be safe to predict lot
