sentiment Spreading.

The True Northerner is not
alone in its opinions relative TO a
proper observance of the Fourth
of July. The sentiment of a
"sane" Fourth is rapidly spread
ing throughout the country, and
has already reached the large
cities.
Chicago attempted to celebrate
IN becoming manner this year,
and the success of the effort was
praised and commended by the
leading citizens of the great city.
Our former townsman, Mar.
quis Eaton, was president of
1.-The Sane Fourth Association, g"
and the Chicago Record Herald
of last week stated that he, to-
gether with many other promi-
nent men of Chicago, had ex-
pressed themselves as his hly
gratified at the outcome.
The time will come when
dynamite, cannon crackers and
other like explosives will no
longer find a place on the Fourth

is no suitable day or place for
them on earth.

An Important Decision

The opinion of the supreme
court, recently handed down,
affirming the case Of the people
VS.. Charles H. Van Alstvne is re-
garded by the legal profession
as one of the most important
decisions ever rendered with
reference to the operation of the
local option law.
Van Alstyne was South Ha-
ven druggist (?) and was con
victed Of keeping a place for the
sale of intoxicating liquors in
violation of the provisions of the
local option law, and was SEN
fenced by the court to both fine
and imprisonment. His counsel,
w. j. Barnard of this place, OBJ
tanned a stay of proceedings and
appealed the case to the supreme
court.
That court, after somewhat
sharply criticising the manner
in which the case was prepared
for review, says: We have
zone through this record and
attempted to ascertain the more
important and substantial ques-
tions and shall omit reference to
all others.
The first question considered
by the court was the introduc-
tion in evidence of the weekly
report of sales filed by respond
ent in the office of the prose
cutting attorney. These reports
were objected to because such
sales were not shown to have
been unlawful.
The court holds that the ''re.
ports are competent evidence TO
be considered in the light of the
other evidence relating to the
place, the customers, the fre-
quency OF their several pur-
chases. the facilities for drinking
on the premises without detec-
tion, the practice of respondents
patrons in that regard, and his |
method of conducting his busi
ness,
"These things taken together, y
says the court, "show abundant |
opportunity for conscientious
Juror to find that defendants |
alleged drug business was sham
and cover for saloon, and that
his principal business was the
systematic evasion of the liquor
law, and we fail to see how any |
self-respecting juror could reach |
any other conclusion. Indeed,
we should hesitate to reverse the |
case had verdict been directed.
The next point considered was
the disposition of the liquors
purchased. 1t was contended
by the people that facilities for
drinking were provided in back
room of the store, and that pur-
chasers of the liquors went into
that room and drank them there.
The defense claimed that even If
such was fact the respondent
was nots responsible, and if It'll
was done, it was without his
knowledge or consent. The cir
cult Judge charged the jury in
substance, that the defend ant
was responsible for what occur
red in that back room and that If
his customers purchased liquor
in the front:room and they drank
it in the back room, the respon-
dent was chargeable with |
notice OF the fact This CON
struction of the law was fully +
upheld by the supreme court,
which very aptly characterized

Old Landmark Burned.

Very early Saturday morning the
Edgefeld Hotel was found to be on
fire. The alarm was promptly CIV
en- and almost the entire town turn
ed out in fire fighting garb. The
origin of the fire is unknown, the
flames being first discovered in an
upper front room. Mr.. Asa Broad
water, the proprietor. was away at
the springs, but his family and sew
.eral guests were in the building. A
small portion of the household fur
niture was saved, but Mr.. Roy Arm
field, one of the boarders, had prac-
tically all of his clothing burned.
Mr.. Broadwater carried 81 200 insu-
rance on his property, and the own
ers of the building, Messrs, L. B.
and N. M. Jones had $1,000 on the
building. But for the heavy rain
which preceded the fire and the he
roic efforts of the fiiemen, the Hotel
DuBose would have been destroyed
also.
