Removing Hayseed by Electricity.

Mr.. j. c. Hutchins, president of the
Detroit United Railway, has written
me of this great movement in Michi-
gan:
THE clodhopper OF the old days
has disappeared from the region
around Detroit, and, in these days 1t
would be difficult, ON the streets OF our
cities, to distinguish, in as far as an
pearance goes, between the country
farmer and the city business man."
1t was evident that the trolleys
were already raising educational
standards In the country. In numer-
Gus instances along the Lake Shore
Electric Railway the country school
boards were paying the child
ren's fares to town with the funds
that formerly supported the district
school.
1t Is the opinion Of growing num-
Der Of educators that one of the best
things a student can do is to live on
quiet farm and use the trolley. He
has healthy surroundings, plenty of
exercise. escapes the temptations and
distractions or town life, and his
studies are benefited accordingly.
President Angel, Of the University
OF. Michigan, declares Of the rural
trolley: II trust that it will do some
thing to turn the tide back from city
life to country life, which would be
most beneficial to this country"
The city theatres are prospecting as
never before. One evening I counted
about twoh undred people who had
come in on a single line to attend a
single city show. And there was lit
tie, in their appearance to differ
entiate them from ordinary city folk.
In fact, 1 found the country Jake

In those isolated villages and hamlets

they are growing steadily rarer in the

WORDS OF WISDOM.

The most exlusive people in the
world are either in society or jail.
The man with an iron will should
be careful not to let it get rusty.
Many an otherwise good man has
been spoiled by too many ancestors.
DoT't strike man just because he
insists that he is your match.
The girls with the most cheek don't
do the most blushing.
Honesty is the filtration tina causes
clear conscience.
The bibulous chap is generally
more celebrating than celebrated.
Second thoughts are only best when
they are not more expensive.

more with tears than a man can with

guaranteed US under the constitution.
A machine which will enable him to
blow out all the gas within reach.
without need for subsequent hospital
treatment. will do much to restore
Hiram's faith In popular government.
So much for the blowing out of

LYONS OPINION SCORED
Fairfield Chairman Will Defy DE.
cisiOn as to Closing Dispensaries

Columbia, July 26.-Boldly defying
the opinion of Attorney General Lyon
as 10 the time during which the dis
pensary shall remain closed after the
election on August IT, DR.. J. J. Rob.
ertson, of Blythewood, chairman of
the county dispensary board of Fair
field, writes Dispensary Auditor West
that the Fairfield dispensaries will be
opened on August IS whether the
county goes dry or not. The opinion
given by Mr.. Lyon was that the dis
pensaries should remain closed until
the result of the election is de-
clared.
Mr.. West referred the matter to At
torney General Lyon, who this after
noon addressed a letter to Governor
Ansel. There is nothing to be done
In the matter unless the threat is car
ried out, and then there may be in
teresting developments. It is stated
that other county boards have ex-
pressed themselves likewise as to the
construction Of Immediately in the
Act. If the situation should become
serious, 1t would 60 to the courts for
settlement.

Lyons opinion In regard to opening
the dispensaries after the election, or
immediately AFTER" DIR. Robertson
says: Gen. Lyons opinion is not law
and I shall pay no attention to it. I
can read and understand a law as
we'll as Gen. Lyon, and IL he has no
more sense than his decision indi-
Gates, We have an exceedingly weak
man for Attorney General. Any intel
ligent school boy with common sense
can read that act and understand It..
1 have heard the opinion Of several
lawyers, who are far superior to Gen.
Lyon in intelligence, making sport of
his opinion. In fact, it is a laughing
joke with intelligent men. What diff
ference does it make whether a coun-
ty goes wet or dry. The dispensaries
VIII continue to sell the drys until
the 18th of November and vets long,
er. The result has nothing to do
with the opening of the dispensaries.
And have legal advice to pay no at
tention to Lyons decision, and so far
as am concerned I am going to open
on the 18th Of August, unless the
other members of the board oppose it.
1t matters not with me how this coun-
ty votes, but 1 propose to carry the
law out to the letter so long as / am
member of the dispensary board of
Fairfield County.
Attorney General Lyon sent the let
ter to Governor Ansel in order that
the Chief Executive might be advised
OF the situation.
