MAY STORE LIQUOR,
OR ship IT, UNLESS
LAW IS REMEDIED

COLUMBUS, May 2s.-UnIess the
general assembly DEGREES otherwise
upon its return next week, It viii be
lawful after May 81, when the state
becomes dry. to store liquor In places
other than where 1t was sold, and also
to ship It out of the state at any time
before July 1. 1919, when federal pro-
hibition goes into effect throughout
the country.
This was so held by Attorney Gen
eral John G. Price In an Official ruling
given to day to the state liquor license
board.
The question which is answered by
the attorney general follows:
May liquor, remaining IN stock aft
er May 81, be stored outside Of the
place where the business was conduct
ed? II so. may such liquor be legally
shipped outside Of the state at any
time before July 1. 1892"
In reply to such inquiry, advise
that the provisions OF the prohibition
amendment to become effective May
81 do not in terms provide against
the possession or storing Of liquor
within the state. nor Is there statu-
tory law now In operation dealing
with that specific phase OF the sub
ject," said Attorney General Price.
May Eenact Laws.
He also draws attention to the fact
that the legislature may when 1t re-
convenes for its session next week, 1t
II sees fit, enact laws touching the
subject Of the storage and shipment
of liquor, making 1t clear that the leg
islature, II 1t wished to do so. may
prohibit storage and shipment of
liquor. Dealing with this phase of
the question, he said:
True the possession and storage
of liquor may well be made the sub
ieet Of legislation looking to the en-
forcement of the prohibition amend
ment and while such provisions may
be embidied In legislation considered,
or to be considered, before the present
session OF the general assembly. yet
none of such legislation is now in ef-
feet. and therefore has not been ex-
amined In connection with the consid-
Grafton OF your inquiry"
In another ruling given the auditor
of the state the attorney holds that
saloonists forced out of business by
the dry amendments are not entitled
to any refund Of the Dow-Aiken liquor
tax.

BOY LEAPS IS FEET
TO SHOW BRAVERY;
IN HOSPITAL NOW

Roger Snediker, eight years old, son
of Charles Snediker, living east Of
Richmond, knows he is drawer than
any member of his family.
To prove his bravery, Roger climb
ed to the top of windmill 35 feet
high, at his home, and jumped to the
ground below, Thursday afternoon.
The boy struck on marshy ground,
which broke the force of his fall, but
he is lying in Reid hospital with a
broken right leg, and badly sprained
left foot. While the doctor attending
him does not think his injuries will
permanently cripple him, he is not yet
certain.
Rogers leap was just the outcome
of boyish ambition to do something
big, his parents said. He had talked
about making the jump for some time,
and yesterday his mother at a win
dow, looked up from her work just in
time to see the boys body hurtle to
the ground He told the doctor che
just wanted to do something big"
Although Roger was suffering much
pain, he smiled at his nurse at the
hospital Friday morning.
"Well. guess I'm drawer than any
other folks in our family, amt II" he
said.

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT


10 Plutarch took up the study OF
Latin. Goethe completed his Faust"
at 10. At this same age Cato began
his lessons in Greek. Socrates learned
to play an instrument Of music when
he had become an old man.
One of the most splendid chapters
in the life of Benjamin Franklin was
written when he was beyond 10, for
1t was at this age that he made his
historical visit to France where he
gained the support SO badly needed
by the struggling colonists.
In the. greatest affairs of the world
to-day, the actors who play the lead
ing parts are mostly men who have
gone beyond 90. When truly great
deeds are to be accomplished-deeds
which require in composite form the
most perfectly developed intellect, the
wisest judgment and the keenest intui-
ton, humanity turns instinctively to
men of mature years. No doubt the
average age Of our presidents would
not be far from SO years. Thus this
nation, SO young and vigorous in
thought and action. has, as its ideal
type Of perfected manhood, those
whose age is hut 10 years less than
the prescribed Biblical limit.
What is said of the men who 20
through the constant stress and
turmoil of public life should be EN-
phasized with even greater significance
by those who live the more placid ex-
istence of private life.
1t is thriftlessness of the most sor.
~ kind to waste the years that
should, from every reasonable stand
point, be the happiest of all. All
things that are lost may be regained,
excepting one, and that is time.
Resolve to live and work and be
useful to the very last day possible,
for to do this is one of the finest
manifestations of thrift.
