A mascot to which deep-sea fisher men attach great importance is tiny fiat stone or bone found in the ear of plaice and other fish. The wearer of one of these stones is supposed to be immune to the danger of drowning It Is easy to find these stones in the ears of fish, although they are no big ger than d split lentil. Anybody who cares to look for one and to examine 1t will see on it's surface light and dark rings similar to those found on a larger scale in tree trunks. The num- Der of rings tells the age of the fish. as new ring appears each year.

parts of the country indicate complete
success of the churches belonging to
the Southern Baptist convention in

the figures are well over $5,S00,OOO, and

BAR THROWN ASIDE.

Declaring that the law passed by the
1918 session of the general assembly
merely legalized the sale Of patent
medicines for beverage purposes Judge
Thomas S. Sease presiding in the court
of general sessions yesterday directed
a verdict of not guilty in the case of w.
Starke Aston, negro druggist or
Rock Hill, who was charged with
violating the prohibition law in that he
sold a preparation called beef, iron and
wine for other than medicinal purpos-
eS.
Aston admitted the sale of the pre-
paration; but testified that clerks in
his place Of business were instructed
to take from the purchasers n
signed certificate as required by
law stating that the preparation was
to be used only for medicinal purposes.
There was no evidence submitted other
than TO show that such certificates had
been required each time sales were
made. The judge promptly directed a
verdict of not guilty with the consent
of the solicitor.
Prohibition officers and lawyers who
were in the court room expressed the
opinion that the result of the trial
would have the effect of throwing aside
the bars in the sale of all kinds OF pat
ent medicines so far as the state au-
thorties were concerned, and that the
drug stores were at liberty to sell any
patent medicines they pleased no mat
ter what it's alcoholic per centage so
long as they secured from the pur
chaser a signed statement to the effect
that the beverage was for medicinal
purposes.
Constable s. II. White who was the
witness in the Aston
case, said that two similar cases which
had been brought at Pageland in Ches-
terfield county would be abandoned.
1t was stated that there would be no
further prosecutions in the state courts
in regard to the statute where it was
made clear that all provisions had
been complied with.

Somehow we are unable to quite

Somehow we are unable to quite
comprehend the necessity Of the fuel
regulations that the railroad admins
tration is seeking to impose, especially
in the southeast. Where a man has
hydro electric power, that will be
wasted unless it is used. it seems to us
that it ought to be used. and where a
man can use wood for fuel instead Of
coal, it is difficult to see why the gov
ernment wants him to remain uncom-
Portable. To us the whole thing looks
like a proposed governmental boycott
against an organized Strike, with about
as much constitutional authority on
the Cne side as on the other. Under
the circumstances, however, there is
nothing for it but to obey the constitu
ted authorities.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS

Following in the wake of the court
of general sessions which was adjourn
ed yesterday afternoon, the fall term
Of the court of common pleas was con-
vened yesterday morning and got un-
derway with out undue waste of time.
Jurors have been drawn to serve dur
ing two weeks of court ard there are
plenty Of cases on the calendar pre-
sumably ready for trial to keep the
court busy two weeks. Members Of the
bar expressed the opinion this morning
that there YVES no reason why there
should be any breakdown and eX-
pressed confidence that the full term
would be consumed in the trial of
cases.
The first case taken up this morning
was that of j. Z! Blankenship and John
Thompson against York county.
Thompson is suing for $4,000 and
Blankenship for $4,000 damages be-
cause of alleged injuries sustained in
1915 when they were employed by the
county in building temporary bridge
across Catawba river between Rock
Hill and Fort Mill. Trial of the case
will probably require all day. The trial
of Mary A. Sims against York county
has been set for this term and will
likely be, heard following the case now
on trial. The plaintiff is the widow of
the colored minister Sims who was
lynched by n mob in the Sharon
neighborhood in 1917.
