the historical charge Of Gettysburg,
tells Of that charge as follows:
Down the slope into the smoke filed
valley the devoted men followed him
as he rode in advance upon his black
war horse. Their ranks were thinned
Of lead which from every side was
turned on them. Smoke and fame sur
rounded them. But from the rear the
men sprang to fill the gaps In front as
they pressed after their leader through
the tempest Of iron. Five thousand
Yirginians followed him at the start
but when the southern flag doated on
the ridge, in less than half an hour,
not 1000 were left to rally beneath it,
and those for only one glorious, vic
tory intoxicated moment They were
not strong enough to hold the position
they had SO dearly won, and, broken
hearted even at the very moment OF
his immortal triumph, my soldier led
his remaining men down the slope
again. He dismounted and walked be-
side the stretcher upon which General
Kemper, one Of his officers, was be-

new PARTS OF
STATE DRY Law
AS Passed by the Present Leg
islature viii Become Effec-
tive Saturday.

The reinforced prohibition law
which goes into effect here, Saturday,
has already been given in full by the
Telegram, but 1t may be as well to
refresh the minds Of readers as to the
most salient points of the new provis-
ion.
Any one can have any amount Of
liquor at his home for personal use
but no one can delegate the conveying
of that liquor from non-prohibition
state into this state and to his home
he must so convey 1t himself.
The word "home" is given the
strictest construction, and cannot COW
er place Of business. usual resort,
club OF otherwise of the consumer.
1t cannot even mean his room at n
hotel. If he is a transient ledger.
The provision that one may not
have liquor In public street or alley,
has been construed by Tax Commits
sioner Blue, to not mean that man
may not carry or convey, himself,
liquor to his home overa street car or
alley. 1t was first thought that this
phrase was u Joker inserted In the
SAAb AOA sae PQi VVSe' VI ulhhluE II ILu-
possible to get liquor into this state
by any means. This fear was allayed
by Commissioner Blues own ruling
as to the construction of the phrase.
Another thing, even II you bring
1t yourself, for yourself, toyour home
you are not permitted to SO convey
over one-half gallon of liquor, in any
receptacle. suit case or otherAunless
1t be labelled in large letters, SO that
all may see what is contained therein.
One of the most dangerous pro-
visions of the act is that which de-
clares that, when a person is suspect.
ed OF bootlegging, and search of his
PREMISES is made. the finding theron
of any amount of liquor shall be
prima facia evidence Of his guilt.
One may treat ones friends. at
ones home, only.
Justices Of peace are given concur
rent Jurisdiction in most, If not all of
the cases arising under this act.
