Banner pry state.-south Carolir

Banner Dry State.-South Carolina,
according to r. Q. Merrick, OF Green
vile. is one of the banner states of
the union when it comes to bone dry
prohibition enforcement.
Merr!ck reports that there is CO.
operation not only among all officials,
state and federal, from the governor
down, but the public generally is back
ing the officials. MeiTick says 80
years of prohibition in South Caro-
lima has convinced the courts that
laxity is poor policy, and now South
Carolina judges assess offenders all
the law will permit. Convictions
average 80 per cent.
South Carolina newspapers have
been a helpful factor, hotels do ret
permit drinking PARTIES, and the
movies run no reels of drinking scenes.
Illicit distilling, however, continues,
but, with force of only 10 men the
South Carolina prohibition director
suppressed IS stills the past month.
It is understood that the North
Carolina report is rot so encouraging.
It is stated that 90 per cent of the
papers are dry, but the booze makers
arc more numerous than cver.-Wash-

"Welcome, welcome" they shouted.
The boy and the girl almost felt en-

The boy felt perhaps he should make

TRAYS WHICH GREW.
6yWARY GRAHAM BONNER

You know how it is-if you share
anything with a friend it seems TO
grow bigger? That is the way it Is
ut the Hospitality hotel.
The boy and the girl adventurers
looked in astonishment at the brown
les with the trays. The trays were be-
ing brought in for the, banquet, and
they were growing larger, and the
brownies seemed to be growing big
ger. Even the food on the plates
and on the trays was growing, too. 1t
was all most mysterious.
"Grow, grow, grow" the brownies
all sang in sing-song fashion.
Grow, grow, grow, so, so, so, for
we're to have a banquet"
In another moment a great gong
sounded through the hotel and there
was heard a great scurrying.
It was then that the boy and the
girl looked about them in the hotel.
The staircases were great high, wind
ing ones, and the floors were of beau
tifully polished WOODWORK, though they
could see some scratches on the floors
which looked as though there had been
q dance or n ball given there recently.
Pictures hung on the walls in enor-
nous gilt frames, and in the hallway
where they stood was the biggest coat
and hat rack they had ever seen with
so many coats and hats hanging there
they felt they could never count them
all.
The great scurry had kept up. Now
the trays had not grown for few
moments. But they were enormous
now, and the br Pwnies were very much
larger and the food looked as if it had
been prepared for many, many people.
Now tile hurrying and the scurrying
sounded nearer, and from all parts

There was slight sound, the muf-

up to see the giant figure of John

whose eyes were filed with the fire of

cold, bare hands. The rifles hammer

it with faint click.

across his heavy countenance.

Our States

MZz1&S&M cursion into
HglFkissSS 5&NsM Utah dates
Vsy @Ss<hS@ IslI back to 1540
@NWEeySJyLAW when a party
TM1@W u of Spaniards
~I89o~ sent out by
Coronado succeeded in penetrat-
ing to the Colorado river. There
is no authentic record Of fur
ther explorations until over 200
years had elapsed. In 1776 two
Franciscan friars, in their at
tempt to find the shortest way
10 the Pacific, went from Santa
Fe to Utah Lake. The Great
Salt Lake, however, was not
discovered until 1924, when
James Bridges, a trapper, in
wandering through this region
came upon this huge, inland, salt
sea.
But the real history Of Utah
begins with the rise of Mormon
power there. Discouraged by the
agitation in Illinois and Mis-
souri,, the Mormons decided to
emigrate to the great West. In
large caravans they Travelled
across the plains and in 1S47
came to Salt Lake City where
they settled. Here they -four.
ished, increasing their numbers
and by 1852 they reached a total
in this vicinit5 of over $4,000.
Meanwhile, In 1S4S, by the terms
Of the treaty of peace with Mex
leo, huge western tract, Of
which Utah was a part, was
ceded to the United States. AS
no definite government was ar
ranged for, the control Of affairs
locally was for a number Of years
entirely in the hands of the Off
GERS Of the Mormon church.
They, accordingly, made up a
constitution and organized un-
der the name of the State of
Deseret. This Is q word taken
from the Book of Mormon, and
signifies, Industry" Application
was made for admission to the
Union, but this was refused and
the federal government instead
organized the Territory of Utah
in 1850. The first governor was
Brigham Young, the successor
of Joseph Smith and president
of the Mormon church.
The attempt to do away with
polygamy met with little success
until in 1890 the Mormon church
finally agreed not to countenance
1t. Meanwhile, growing antag-
onism between the Mormons and
non-Mormd9s verged nearly on
civil war. Finally general
amnesty was declared and after
many requests Utah was &C.
cepted as the forty-fifth state Of
the Union in 1896.
