All Right to Keep Liquor.

Columbia, July Judge Mem
minger's decision upon storing and
keeping intoxicants wherein he held
that under the law as it stands one
may not keep liquor in the house in
any quantity was reversed to-day by
the supreme court. The case was that
of Lloyd Green, of Sumter, convicted
last summer. Green claimed he had
the stuff for personal use.
The supreme court says that Judge
Memminger erred in refusing to
charge by the statutory term, storing
and keeping in possession" Judge
Memminger said of continuity or
habit. Such ruling, the supreme
court says, would have been correct
under the old dispensary and is cor
rect now in dispensary counties, but
the court says there is no difference
in this respect between wet and dry
counties.
The supreme court says further
that Judge Memminger also erred in
charging it was unlawful to have
liquor in a prohibition county for any
purpose or in any quantity.

Cleveland Druggist Prevents United
Cigars Stores from Opening.

Cleveland, O., July BY appeal
ing to the department of justice
Clifton NJ. Rawlings, druggist, has
succeeded in having the recent decls-
ion of the United States supreme
court in the tobacco case brought to
bear on the United Cigar Stores COM
pany and the opening of two new
stores by that concern here has been
abandoned. This is said to be the
first time the decision has been put
into effect.
The United company was fitting up
a store near Mr.. Rawlings drug
store. He pointed out to Attorney
General Wickersham that the decis-
ION stated that the American Tobac-
sco company or it's subsidiaries were
not to enlarge their business. Mr..
Wickersham notified the United COM
pany that the decision would be
violated in the event the store was
orened and it's counsel replied that
1T would abide by the decision and
not open new stores. Mr.. Wicker
sham communicated this information
to United States Attorney 'Denman
here. About the same time activi-
ties in the new United store and an
other which was being fitted up
ceased.

How English Novelist Sees Women

American women are totally de-

American women are amazingly

Advantages of Silage.

To produce milk at low cost pas
turage or it's equivalent is necessary.
To take the place of pasturage two
methods of getting green food can be
resorted to. The first being to grow
such crops as rye, wheat, oats, sorg-
hum, and corn and cut these at the
proper time and feed to the COWS.
The second method is to put up
green food in such manner that 1t
will keep green the entire year and
be ready to feed at any time. To
keep green food all the year it is
necessary to keep it air tight. The
most convenient form in which to
do this is by use of the silo. The
silo may be made of brick, concrete,
or wood-whicheve is most conve-
nient to the builder. How to build
and what to use will be explained in
detail if application is made to the
Dairy Division of Clemson College.
The requirements for any silo being
that when filled it will be air tight
and have great enough depth so that
the pressure of the silage will drive
out all the air. The material, such
as corn and sorghum of which most
of the silage is made, must be put
into the siLo green. If at all dry,
water must be added, for unless it
stays damp in the silo it will spoil.
Two advantages of the silo is that
it gives supply of green food the
entire year and enables the farmer to
put up large amount of feed in a
very small space. The cost of the
silo will average about 81 to So per
ton capacity. The cost Of putting the
corn or sorghum into the silo, count
ing all cost of growing, will vary
from 50 to 81 per ton. No dalryman
can afford to be without silo.

WOMEN "BOOTLEGGERS" FOXY.
Oklahoma Officers Trying to Catch
Females Who Sell Whiskey.

seThe hobble skirt is not a good
thing for a woman bootlegger to
wear" is the declaration of Rev. c..
c.. Brannon, of Blackwell, Okla, a
prohibition enforcement officer in the
employ of the United States govern
ment, in it's campaign to keep sep
arate the reservation Indians and
firewater. He ought to know in re-
gard to the hobble skirt, for the
wearing of one recently caused the
arrest of one of the most persistent
women bootleggers in the southwest.

some time," said Rev. Brannon re-
Gently, in telling of how they caught
her. "but we were unable to catch
her with any liquor about her.
It was evident that she was selling II
to the Usage Indians, getting her sup
plies at Pawhuska, but, although al
ways on her guard, she was foxy
enough to deceive us. Finally a hob
BILE skirt caused her undoing.
"You know, or at least every mar
ried man does, that the hobble skirt
has also done away with the wear
ing of petticoats, for the narrow
tight-ftting skirt will not permit OF
very much underneath it. And this
woman proved to be no exception to
the rule. Although in an unlawful
business, she remained feminine
enough to copy the fashion plates,
and she was no bad locker in the
prevailing styles.
"She laughed at us when we con-
fronted her for about the seven
teenth time, and told her that we
were positive that she was selling
whiskey to the Osages. She was
standing when we entered the room,
just opposite me. She was telling us
how innocent she was of the charge,
and that we were. on wrong trail
entirely in continuing to pester her,
when my eyes caught the shape OF
a half pint bottle or flask imprinted
through her hobble skirt, where it
was drawn tight just below her left
knee. The sun was shining through
the window, and brought the imprint
of the bottle out plainly.

called in woman operative, and had
the bootlegger searched then and
there. We were not going to give
her any opportunity to avoid us this
time. In each stocking leg the wo-

BLEAsE PAROLES W. B. GLENN
Slayer of Clinton Rhoden, Serving
FYye-Year Sentence, Now Free.

Columbia, June 29.-Gov. Blease
Thursday paroled w. B. Glenn, of
Lexington county, during good be-
havior. Glenn had been under pa
role while his papers were being pre-
pared.
Glenn was convicted of manslaugh-
ter and sentenced to five years in the
penitentiary from June 1910. Glenn
has not served any of his sentence
since he was out on appeal, and later
Gov. Blease gave him parole until
July 1, the parole Thursday being
made permanent, that is, during good
behavior.
In paroling Glenn Gov. Blease re-
ferred to the statement OF Presiding
Judge Ernest Gary to the grand jury
in the presence of the petit jurors.
The governor also referred to the
solicitors statement that although
Glenn had worked for him (the So
licitor) and was a friend he wanted
the conviction. These two state
ments, Gov. Blease stated, were in
direct violations of the constitutional
rights of the defendant.
There were petitions and counter
petitions in the Glenn case. In one
of the counter petitions it was stated
that Clinton Rhoden, the man whom
Glenn killed, was unarmed.
Before the supreme court the
charge of Judge Gary was attacked.
Judge Gary in charging the grand
Jury referred to the prevalence of
killings and to the hip-pocket de-
fence. 1t so happened that the petit
jurors were present, although the
Glenn case had not come to trial.
The defence contended that by charg-
ing the grand jury in a manner that
so we'll happened to fit the Glenn
case, that the constitutional rights
of the defendant were trespassed
upon.
The supreme court upheld Judge
Gary.
Among the letters to Gov. Blease
was one from Sheriff Corley, of Lex
ington, asking that Glenn be pardon
ed.
There were many letters and Pc
titions in this case, most of them for
Glenn, but several against him.
The parole granted to Glenn
Thursday makes him free man dur
ing good behavior.

WHEN ALLEN PLAYED POKER.
"Private john Gets the Best of
Mississippi Incident.

No one has ever succeeded in max
ing much off of Private. John" Al
len, of Mississippi, who is stumping
the State in the presetn senatorial
fight against former Gov. Vardaman,
says the Montgomery Advertiser. MIR.
Allen is a wit, orator and statesman.
The Vardaman supporters accused
him of having been indicted fof play
ing poker. Instead of denying it, the
former representative got up and
said the story was true. But to lend
interest and merriment to the dis
cussion he stated that he was indict-
ed for playing poker with Varda-
man supporter, who at that time was
in the legislature. We yield this
space to the former representatives
characteristic statement:
"Well, I am going ito tell you the
truth about that. I am very sorry l
played poker. I am really ashamed
of it. It is not nice to play poker.
Expressing it very mildly, poker is
a social indiscretion. It happened
this way. One night I was down at
Jackson, and my room at the Hotel
Edwards was right next to the rail-
road tracks. l couldn't sleep for the
noise of the trains, so got up and
wandered around the place for a
while. During my wanderings l
stumbled into room where poker
game was being played, and it was
being managed by a member OF the
legislature, who acted as Mr.. Varda-
mans floormanager during the eau
Gus. Merely to soothe my nerves, l
sat down and took hand with them.
Some time later I received a. sum-
mons to appear before the Kinds
county grand jury. They asked me
if I had played poker in Jackson,
and 1 had no better sense than to
tell them the truth about it. The"
they indicted me on my own
dence. In this respect, fellow cisi-
zens, differ radically from Mr.. Var
daman. He was summoned to- ap-
pear at the State capitol to answer
questions involving his official record
and personal honesty. Instead OF
coming forward like man and tell
ing the truth about it, as l did, and
making an effort to defend his honor,
he disputed the authority OF the man
who summoned him. Poker playing,
as 1 said before, is social indiscre-
ton. But, bad as it is, it is not as
bad as taking public funds and fall
ing to account for them. In my case
I lost nobody's money but my own.
In Mr.. Vardaman's case public funds
have been lost and no satisfactory
explanation of their whereabouts
give
Now the Vardamanites wish they
hadn't. It is not safe to spring the
private record Of a man if you hap
pen to have skeleton in your own
closet. 1t strikes us that Private
John" got the best of this incident.

RUNAWAY BOY KILLED.
Heartrending Letters from Father in
Tennessee are Found.

Greenville, July 2.-Roy Roach, a
17-year-old runaway lad of Jefferson
City, Tenn, was killed in playful
attempt at suicide at Old Hundred, a
settlement in Oakland township,
about Is miles below Greenville,
about 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon.
The circumstances surrounding
the tragedy are most pitiable. The
lad came to Greenville about three
months ago and sought employment
on the farm of Alvin Boyce, near Old
Hundred. He worked faithfully and
gave every indication of being a
trustworthy young fellow. Saturday
afternoon he and a 13-year-old boy,
Fred Austin, son of County Commis-
sioner J. M. Austin, were in a room
together in the house of J. A. Parson,
a brother-in-laW of the Austin lad.
According to the testimony offered
by young Austin at the coroners IN
quest, the two were preparing to 60
to a branch to go in swimming. Young
Austin said that while he was dress
ing, Roy Roach picked up a breech-
loading gun and asked him (Austin)
to watch him shoot himself. Austin
said he told Roach to look out, for
the gun might be loaded, whereupon
the lad replied that he did not care.
In an instant the Roach lad had
fallen to the floor, the right side of
his throat being torn away by the
discharge from the gun. Young Aus
tin ran for help and soon returned
to the house with several neighbors.
Testimony offered at the inquest by
those first to reach the scene of the
tragedy is somewhat puzzling. A
single barreled gun with discharged
she'll in it was found standing in a
far corner of the room near the
body, and leaning against the side
of a bed was a repeating shotgun
with loaded shells in it.
Efforts have been made to locate
the lads people in Jefferson City, but
so far no word has been received
from any one.
A heartrending scene, and one
that moved the jurors at the inquest
to tears, was the reading of letter
found in the dead boys pocket. The
communication was from the boys
father, and the burden of it was a
prayer to the wandering boy to come
home.
81 look for you on every train, my
boy" the letter ran, "Oh, when will
you return homer"
The last paragraph of the letter
read: "Roy, number IL has just gone
by and had to stop writing and look
out to see if you had gotten off.
Come back, boy, and bring the old
banjo"
The body was brought to Green
Vile tonight and embalmed. A purse
of $50 was made up by those who
attended the inquest, to defray the
expenses of shipping the body home
in case the parents can be found.
