Dispensary for Lake City.

The Florence county dispensary
board met Tuesday night and de-
cided to establish a dispensary at
Lake City, which will be opened as
soon as stock can be secured. The
advocates for a dispensary asserted
thar blind tigers now flourish in
the town and that a diSpensary will
tend to suppress them. 1t was also
argued that men unable to get liq-
uor were drinking more harmful
things, and that the community de-
sired the profits arising from a dis
pensary.
DR. w S Stokes and Rev G c Der
rick headed a protesting committee
of nine, but the board decided that
as majority of the Lake City peo-
pie had petitioned for dispensary,
it would be unreasonable to refuse
them.

Statewide Prohibition Defeated

For the second time in its long
and honorable history the Senate of
Virginia was called upon last Satur-
day to pass upon the wisdom and
constutionality of submitting to a
popular referendum the question of
Statewide prohibition, and for the
second time. speaking through the
majority, it answered, No" Like
the negative that fell to the lot of
the Strobe bill in 1910, the one Sat-
urday was in no uncertain terms.
Of the thirty-eight Senator'S voting,
twenty-three went on record as op-
posing the Jordan bill, which had
passed the lower house by a vote of
50 to 80. while fifteen registered
their votes in favor of its enactment
into law.
This action by the Senate has set
tied a much agitated and bitterly
fought question in the Old Dominion
for the next two years atleast, prob
ably four, as the members of the
present State Senate were elected
last fall for a term of four years.
and should this question be brought
up in l914-16 it will most likely
meet a similar fate.

Obtaining Heirs In China.

The practical Chinese have adopted
a simple way Of obtaining heirs where
there are no legal ones-the adoption
Of children who belong to side branches
of the family. In this way the family
line is kept intact. In the absence OF
male descendants in the side branches
Of the family the sons Of strangers are
adopted The Chinese prefer this meth
cd to marrying second wives.

A Wasp,s Strategy.

A mud wasp was seen to alight with
in an inch or two of a spiders nest on
the side opposite the opening. Creeping
around toward the entrance to the nest,
the wasp stopped Il little short of it and
for moment remained perfectly quiet
Then. reaching out one of his anten-
nae. he wriggled 1t before the opening.
A moment later he withdrew the
"feeler." This overture had the desired
effect. inasmuch us the head of the
household. a big spider. came out to see
what was wrong and to set it to rights.
No sooner had the spider emerged to
that point Mt which it was at the worst
disadvantage than the wasp with a
quick movement thrust its sting into
the body of its foe, killing it easily and
almost instantly The experiment was
repeated by the wasp. and when there
was no response from the inside he evil
IDENTIFY became satisfied that he held the
fort. At all events. he proceeded to en-
ter the nest and slaughter the young
spiders, which We're lugged off one at 9

A soUTHERNER is PRESIDENT.
ELECT.

For the fourth time in fifty-six years
the democrats have elected a presi-
dent, and one of these having been
counted out, Woodrow Wilson will be
the third democratic president and
the second democrat to occupy the
White House since the close of James
Buchanan's term in 1861. Prior to
that time the democrats had a long
line of successes, and with the old
republican party, of which the demo-
cratic party is lineal descendant, it
had been in control Of the government
during the greater part of the time
since it was founded.
With the exception of Washington
and John Adams, who were. federal.
lists, and the elder Harrison, Taylor
and Fillmore, who were wings, the
democrats and their predecessors, the
republicans, elected every resident
from the institution of the govern
ment until Lincoln was elected in
1860, since which time the modern
republican party, coming into power
then, has practically dominated the
country. With the election of Wilson,
however, there is belief that the
republican party has lost its power
forever and that, as the old whig
party passed out of existence, so the
party Of Lincoln and Grant and Nc
Kinley, having served its purpose,
will be known in future only in his
tory. But there have been such pre-
dictions as to the democratic party,
which has survived so many defeats.
In another particular the country
has returned to custom of its earlier
existence-for the first time since the
election of Lincoln, native OF a
Southern state has been elected presi-
dent, and as in the case of Lincoln,
Southern-born man has been elected
from Northern state. With the ex-
ception of John Adams, John Quincy
Adams, Van Buren,, Fillmore, Pierce
and Buchanan, all the presidents pre-
vious to Grant were born in the South
and, with the exception of Lincoln,
all were elected from Southern states.
Beginning with Grant, however, every
president since his election has been
Northern-born and elected from
Northern state. OF course, there is no
significance in this, but the election
Of Wilson indicates that the prejudice
which long existed against a Southern
man for the presidency has disap-
peared, and this furnishes another
proof that this is again one country
in which sectionalism has no part
