MAKING BLIND
tiger LIQUOR,
"A RAG, A BONE, A HANK CHAIR.
Boozers, Gin GuzzIers and Rum lusheres
Should Study the following Bill
Carefully,
Anderson Intelligence,
49, l1.- L:

If you were to see the blind tiger outfit
that Deputy Sheriff Stuart captured Wed:
afternoon at the express office you would
never drink another drop Of blind tiger
liquor.
There has been a package at the express
office for several days addressed to J. W.
Ray, a white man Of the Orr mill section:
Knowing that Ray was q dispenser OF
booze, the deputy kept a close watch out
for him. When he appeared for his pack
age Wednesday he was allowed to keep
possession Of 1t until he had reached the
street. Then the officer took 1t away from
him, and found II contained a two-gallon
can OF alcohol, marked ITO proof, and a
dozen or 80 walls labeled "Zanol." The
'Zanol," whatever it is, had different
favors, such as rye, corn, gin, etc., and
directions on each vial for making the
kind Of liquor named.
For making rye liquor, for instance the
directions were to take one pint Of alcohol
one pint OF water, a tablespoonful of sugar
and a vial Of "Zanol." This Is claimed
would make a quart Of good rye whiskey.

1t seems sthat the Rev. Mr.. Duncan
whipped. the fight in the First A. r. P.
Presbytery, and secured the papers which
were at first positively refused to him.
There Is nothing like a fight.
Eighteen counties will go dry on Mon
nay, and now it is up to the law abiding
citizens of these counties to see that the
law is GENERALIZATION Record.
It is the duty Of every good citizen to
obey the law, but we fail to see wherein ii
is the duty of the citizen to enforce the
law against anybody that duty devolves
upon the officers of the law. A getlemar
would hardly voluntarily act the part Of
informer, especially in cases where he
may have induced anybody to violate the
law. or may have been a party to the VIC
latlon.

city can have. The names for macufac-
tured cotton comes from abroad, and
every dollar which thus comes is just so
much wealth added to the community.
While We know nothing of our own
knowledge yet we doubt not that for the
purpose of Il spinning mill the furniture
plant could be most profitable utilized.
Let some Of our e%nterprising public
Spirited citizens look into this matter now,
before it is too late. Tile sale takes place
next sale day.
A town like Abbeville can build as many
cotton mills as it wants. If we put in a
little, northern market will eonae and do
the rest.

Sold Before il Could be LabIed.

About three weeks ago Sheriff Lyon
seized from B. and Lucian Winfrey "a OTIS.
Of whiskey near Mount Carmel. After
keeping it the required Is days, it was
turned over to the Dispensary to be sold.
All liquor seized thus must be marked
"Contraband' before it is allowed to be
sold. When it was learned that some pure
old corn was to be sold, there was a STAN
pede, and with difficulty the Dispensary
officers Tabled it before it was .gobbled up.

One sees nothing Of the narwha! and
very little of the kayak, for dashing
seas wash over the little craft, but the
double bladed paddles seesaw with the
regularity Of a pendulum.
Homecoming takes many hours and
%engenGers a %prodigious amount Of hard
work, but there is energy to spare, for
a wealth Of meat and fat Is the cul-
mination Of all Eskimo ambition.
Seven of these ponderous animals
were brought in during five days,
making a heap of more than 10000
pounds Of food and fuel. Then the
narwhals suddenly disappeared, and
we saw no more of them.
Three white whales were also obtain
ed in a similar way at Etah at about
the same time.

TITH a hasty farewell to Mr..
NV Bradley and the officers and
w encouraged with a cheer

from oil on board, we left
the motherly Yacht for u new home
and mission. The yacht stood off to
avoid drifting ice and await the re-
turn Of tie m%otorboat.
When we were set ashore we sat
dowr and watched with saddened eyes
the departlre Of our friends and the
severing of the bond which lad held
US to the known world Of life and
happiness.
The village of Annootok is placed in
a small bay just inside of Cape lngle-
field. Its population changes much
from year to year, according to the
known luck Of the chase or the ambi-
ton Of the men to obtain new bear
skin trousers.
Scattered about It were twelve seal
skin tents, which served rs a summer
shelter for an equal number of vigor-
Gus families. In other places nearer
the sea were seven stone igloos. Upon
these the work of reconstruction for
winter shelter had already begun.

Hunting Season Now On.

You may now shoulder your gun with
impunity, call your dog and hike to the
haunt OF the birds.
Birds are plentiful, there are q dozen
large coveys within the incorporated limits
Of Ahbeville, they will not be there long
however, the hunters will drive them to
safer haunts,
Bird dogs are in demand, fancy prices
are being paid fortrained retrievers.

under the Ice at midnight FOR q rev
moments.
The Arctic Night. .
These moments increase rapidly. yet
one hardly appreciates that the sun Is
departing until day and night are Of
equal length, for the night remains
light, though not cheerful. Then thu
day rapidly shortens and darkens, and
the sun sinks until at least there is
but q mere glimmer Of the glory of
day.
Winter is limited to the long night,
and spring applies to the days Of the
rising sun, q period corresponding to
the autumn days of the setting sun.
At Annootok the midnight sun is first
seer over the sea horizon on April %.
1t dips in the sea on Aug. 10. 1t thus
encircles the horizon, giving summe
and continuous day for lis days. Ii
sets at midday on Oct. "a and is alb
sent a period of prolonged night cor

Harvesting Food and Fuel.
Then follow the eye opening days Of
spring. In the fall, when the harmon
izing influence of the sun is withdrawn
there begins q battle Of the elements
which continues its smoky agitation
until stilled by the hopeless frost OF
early night.
At this time, though field work was
painful. the needs Of our venture forced
us to persistent action in the chase OF
walrus, seal. narwhal and white whale
We harvested food and fuel.
Before winter ice spread over the
hunting grounds ptarmigan. hare and
reindeer were sought to supply the ia
BILE during the long night with delica
cies, while bear and fox pleased the
palates of the Eskimos and their peltS
clothed all.
Many long journeys were made to Sc
cure an important supply Of grass to
pad boots and mittens and also to Sc:
cure moss, which serve as wick for
the Eskimo lamp. The months of Sep,
TENDER and October were indeed in,
portant periods of anxious seeking for
reserve supplies.
Aid From the Eskimos.
There was q complex activity sud-
denly stimulated along the Greenland
coast which did not require general su-
perviSion. The Eskimos knew what
was required without a word from US
and knew better than we did where to
find the things worth while. An out.
line of the polar campaign vas sent
from village to village, with q few
general instructions.
Each local group Of natives was to
I'll an important duty and bring to-
gether the tremendous amount Of ma
terial required for our house and sled
equipment. Each Eskimo village has.
as a rule. certain game advantages.
In some places foxes and hares were
abundant. Their skins were in great
demand for coats and stockings. and

BAD INJURY

Sarah, the twelve year old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. H. L. Dewitt, is sut-
fering from the effects of bad accid-
ent sustained Monday at her home at
DeWitt's park.
She was amusing herself on one Of
the big swings in the park. She was
swinging very high aud when at the
most elevated point, some twelve feet
from the ground, she was unable TO
maintain her hold and was thrown
out.
As she fell she struck the ground
with her right shoulder. She was bad
iy injured. The shoulder, it would
seem. became dislocated, but odd as it
may appear, the bone flew back again
into position.
Ia the fall, however, a prominence
or projecting part Of the bone was
broken, the fracture constituting a
very serious injury.
DR.. a. T. Dewitt, grandfather of
the injured child, assisted by DR.. P.
O. Newbaker, who was instantly call
ed into the case, rendered surgical aid.
The father of the injured child last
evening stated that she was doing as
we'll as could be expected. The injury,
however, is of such nature as TO dis.
able the child and it will be some
time before she fully recovers
