CAN KEEP WfiISkEY
FOR PERSONAL USE

So Rules the Supreme Court I'm Deci.
sion Handed Down Friday in Case
Brought up from Spartanburg Coun-
ty.
Holding that 1t Is not unlawful to
have whiskey IN possession for per-
sonal use. even In prohibition cunty.
and clearly defining the powers OF the
act Of 1903 with reference to the sale
of whiskey, the supreme court recent
ly reversed the Spartanburg coun-
ty court in the case of Elias Rookard,
who was convicted for violation OF
the act The opinion by Associate
Justice Woods constructs several sec
tiUnS of the act which have never be-
fCIe been icY awel by tie supreHo
court. Circuit Judges have held that
mere keeping in possession" by res
idents OF prohibition counties was
against the law passed in 1909.
The defendant was convicted in
Spartanburg county in January of last
year on the charge of having whiskey
in his possession and was indicted
under the section OF the act Of 1909,
which ends: "and which il drunk to
excess will produce intoxication. ex-
cept as hereinafter provided"
No Constitutional Question.
No question as to the constitution
FIIw JFF oikfimIA ciaowS
ality of the act was raised in the ap-
peal. but the defendant contended that
the circuit Judge erred in his con-
s'ruction OF the statute when he
charged the jury in effect that the
statute makes the mere keeping in
possession of liquor ny a private in
diridual Il cfin,inal ntfcnse: and that
therefore tie jury should convict /! it
found that the defendant had liquor
in his possession even if it should be
found that he had not un'awful'y re-
ceived, no "acCcptcd it. and had not
kept 1t iii possession for an unlawful
use.
Tho d"|i ion Of tho supreme court
says that the question is whether the
circuit judge was right in holding the
act OF 1909 to prohibit and make
criminal the keeping in possession of
liquGr in this State under all circum-
stances thou' regard TO the manner
of acquiring possession or the purpose
for which the liquor. 1t seems clear

Ancient Stone Workers.

! Egyptian stone workers 1000 years
ago had surprising knowledge OF
what are considered modern tools.
These pyramid builders operated with
solid and tubular drills and straight
and circular saws. In handling the
tubular drills, which were of superior
huality, the skill Of the artisan was
SO remarkable that the cutting marks
lin granite show no indication Of wear
of the tool. while cut of tenth or
an inch was made in the hardest rock
at each revolution. 4 hole through
both hard and soft material was bored
perfectly smooth and uniform.

CHINA BELLICOsE.

The historical panorama OF the
twentieth century moved rapidly dur
ing the first decade, and wonders are
still being flashed before the world.
Nearly every autocratic government
has collapsed in recent years and
thrones, heretofore regarded as staple,
have been undermined. Turkey is
no longer an absolute monarchy and
Persia was not long in following in
her wake. And now the autocracy
OF China is about to become thing
Of the past. Dispatches from Shang.
hal tell us the emperor and his family
are about to become residents Of the
United States. The throne yesterday
surrendered to the Tzu'Cheng- Yuan,
China's national assembly. and in COM
pliance with its demands dismissed
certain cabinet officers who had shown
their loyalty to the emperor as we'll as
ability as statesmen. A year ago the
throne treated the national assembly
ae .imes almost with contumacy. The
ministers refused &c appear before it
and The budget and other bills sub
m.ttc,i for consideration were later
put aside for other more suitable to
the palace and the grand councillors
Until even month ago the throne,
defiant OF the people, issued edlcts en-
bodyiDg drastic measures. Now the
first resolution OF the newly convened
Assembly, carrying consequences OF
OF irremediable character, has been
granted without days consideration.
The situation is rendered more serious
by tie fact that China is not satisfied
with revolution at home but busy with
war threats 10 the west. State De-
partment officials are closely watching
the Mcxico-China situation, resulting
from the massacre OF 600 Chinese
at Terreon by Mexican revolutionists
last spring. While all is outwardly
calm, it is known that spark is
smouldering which is likely to flare
up into open hostilities at any moment.
China has demanded $3,000,000 in
dcmnity and has been unusually bel
Iigcrent about it. The Chinese govern
ment is holding cruiser at Havana
ready to strike the Mexican coast if
the claim is not paid with expedition.
The Chinese minister, Chang Yin
Ting, is now in Mexico, attempting to
hurry the matter along. The Chinese
dare to be insistent because Mexico has
no navy, and unless the United States
interiered. they could do great damage
along the Mexican coast.

At CA TIES Of PEK|NG.

Commenting on the Chinese resolu-
ton the Baltimore Sun says:
Revolutionis virtually at the gates
OF Peking, Shanghai is in state OF
sullen rebellion. Like a prairie fire
the revolt has been waited from point
to point over the Chinese provinces I'M
til not ouly in the south but in the
north az well the outbreak Of hundreds
OF years OF resentment against the rule
OF the Manchus is startling the reign
ing dynasty and bringing profound
concern to the foreign legations. The
protection OF these legations and the
foreign settlements in the important
cities is source Of the gravest anxiety,
nasmuch az disturbing rumors are
constantly afoat of the intention OF the
Manchus to stir up the animosity OF
the 10 yer classes against the foreign
devils, thereby gaining that which they
would like to bring about, the interven-
ton Of the powers for the lnaintaiuance
ofthe present government.
Heretofore the foreigners have been
measurably safe and are still so, and it
may be assumed that before they could
fall into critical peril the watchful pow.
ers would interpose in the most effec-
tive manner. So that the outlook for
upon foreign property and
foreign lives is not particularly alarm
ing feature at the present.
The conflicts between the govern
ment troops and the rebel forces seem
thus far to be in favor OF the latter,
and the outlook for an early close to
the disorders is not promising. The
attributed to the ruling dy-
nasty to turn to Japan for assistance
can hardly express an actual intention,
as it is very certain that the western
powers will not for moment tolerate
a course Of individual initiative on the
part Of the eastern power, whose as
tendency would be made absolute in
Asia were it to secure a controlling
band upon the future OF the vast Chi
nese Empire.
The rebellion in China is making
necessary new diplomatic moves and
will entirely change the current of his
tory in that section of the earth. I'M
questionably, however the war may
turn out, the duty will be laid upon
the other powers to take a fresh view
of their responsibilities toward the east
and to make necessary adjustments
accordingly. The war that has been
carried in a way to the gates Of Pekln !
is reverberating through the state de-
partments of all the great powers OF
the earth. It will be remarkable IN
deed If the United States shall not be
called upon later on to define its atti-
tude in every determined form in view
Of its leading interest i4 the east by
reason OF its possession OF the Philip
pine Islands, and in view OF the OPEN
ing Of the Panama Canal, which will
profoundly affect the course OF mari
time traffic. and conversely, the rclat-
ions of all the powers toward the trade
possibilities Of the far east. Therefore.
The battles in China may yet turn out
to be decisive for the world.
