. The business of officiating at a
football game in these new foot
ball days is causing lots of wrin-
. kles to grow upon the brows of
those who pursue the aforesaid
business.
Most of the officials have
studied the new rules so that
they know them backwards, but
in nearly every game some new
angle arises-some variation of
one Of the rules-that opens the
question as TO whether the play
is legal or illegal. The officials,

WINS DIsPENsARY.
State Supreme Court Renders
Decision to this Effect.

Columbia, March 27:-The validity
of the election in Lexington county
last August when the dispensary
forces won, was upheld this morning
by the supreme court in decision
by Associate Justice Hydrick. In his
opinion Justice Hydrick called at
tention to the general laxity in re-
ferring to the general election laws
of this State and sounded note OF
warning, saying that the evidence
in this case and others which have
come before this court shows such
laxness in the administration OF
these laws and such fragrant viola
tions of them as ought to startle any
thoughtful citizen. 1t is fraught
with the greatest danger to gooo
government and may result dlsas-
trously with much graver issues at
stake" Chief Justice Gary and As
sociate Justice Watts concurred IN
the decision, while Associate Justice
Frazier dissented. The court held
that because some ballots cast IN the
election were one-eighth of an inch
in variance from the size prescribed
would not make the election illegal,
as the right of suffrage is not to be
denied on technicalities.
In the election for or against dis
pensary referred to in the decision
of Justice Hydrick the dispensary
advocates won by majority OF Do.
Anti-dispensary forces bitterly con-
tested the election upon the ground
of irregularities in the ballot. An
appeal was taken to the State board,
which held its sessions September ..
at which time the report of the Lex
ington county board of canvassers,
placing Lexington county in the wet
column, was sustained. The prohibl-
tionists appealed from this finding
to the supreme court, and the decis-
ion handed down, sustaining the re-
mort of the State board, definitely
places Lexington among the wet
counties of the State.

The latter wished to appease King
Henry VIII, who was indignant be-
cause the monks had built kitchen
which he could not burn down. The
abbot accordingly dispatched Jack
Horner with specially tempting look
ing pie. which was filled INSIDE with
: the title deeds OF twelve monasteries
as a present to the king.
Jack Horner slyly distracted one
deed, which was that referring to the
manor Of Wells, and on his return to
Glastonbury he informed the abbot
that the deed had been given to him
by the king. The rhyme was founded
on this incident, the plum" which he
distracted being the title deed Of
Wells.
