"No don't believe in allowing vie
lators of the prohibition laws to get OIL
with fines" said Judge Peurifoy the
other day.
Under the old system of high
license, you remember saloonists were
glad to pay license of $1,000 year
and upward for the privilege of selling
whisky. Let these people off with a
fine of say 500 a quarter and they
get their license cheap. l think that
the best way to check this business is
TO give violators of the law prison
sentences"
Execution of FAIRIES.
mo, FAIRIES cannot be executed on
December 29-not II there is an ap-
peal" said an attorney to Views and
Interviews yesterday.
Under the rules his attorneys Will
have ten days from the rising of the
court of general sessions in which to
file motion of an appeal, and they
will have twenty days from that in
which to perfect the appeal by serving
on the state copy Of the grounds on
which they will ask for new trial.
Then after that they have 80 days
more in which to print the case.
Notice of intention to appeal serves
as a stay of execution, with no way to
help it.
while Of course, the state, on being
served with a notice of the grounds of
appeal has a right 10 move for dis
missal on the ground of frivolity,
even this motion cannot be made until
April. Then it will take quite while
for the court to decide it, and granted
that the court dismisSes the appeal, it
will certainly be July and possibly
November before the man can be re-
sentenced"
Wonderful Surgery.
Was over to the Fennell Infirmary
the other day talking to DR.. Fennell
about things generally. DR.. Fennell is
a kind of DR.. Jeckyll and Mr.. Hyde in
a way. Let me hasten to say that both
of them are good fellows. He works
with mems lives, cutting into their
vitals and removing disorders that
would otherwise kill them, and while.
he is doing this his whole soul is con-
centrated on the job. But too, after
wards he is laughing, telling jokes and
conducting himself as though he had
never had a serious thought in his
life.
Noticing a long strip of blackish
looking substance coiled in a JAR curl
osity impelled me to ask him what it
was.
"Oh, that is part of the entrails of a
little boy" he said.
"Joking?"
NO. that is exactly what it is"
How long has he been dead?"
The doctor laughed and replied;
"Why he was over here a few days
ago as fat as a pig"
Then the doctor explained how
few months ago they brought from the
Western part of the county little boy
who had been mysteriously i'll for some
time with a stomach disorder, the ma
ture of which seemed TO be a puzzle.
After making examinations that led
him to the conclusion that there was
nothing else to do but cut into the
boy's abdomen and investigate the
trouble, he found it. A section of the
cntrails We're diseased until it was
rotten, almost falling apart, and he
took it out
There is five feet of that stuff" said
DR.. Fennen.
What is the entire length Of the en-
trails of a man."
"Oh, in a boy like that, about twenty
feet"
And YOU say he will suffer no in
furious effects from the loss Of what's
IN that jar?"
Il tell you when ne was over here
the other day he was as fat as a pig
He's all right, and he has about as
good a chance to live out his expect
amy as any VI inc rest Ol US.
Most Efficient colIectorship.
The office Of Collector of Internal
Revenue in Columbia stands the high
est in efficiency of any in the United
States. That sounds big but it is a
fact. Major John L. Jones the collector
is responsible. When he took charge
OF the office it was away down in the
list-ncar about the last in fact; but
the major was not content to remain
there, and he has been climbing ever
since. NIT. Blair, the commissioner at
Washington, is a thoroughgoing bust
ness man who takes pride in efficiency.
and who demands efficiency of all Of
his SubOrdinateS. Major Jones is built
the same way, and nothing pleascs him
better than to sec things move along
exactly right. He knew nothing about
the business workings OF the internal
revenue department when he took
charge: but he had been accustomed
t. big business all his life. and it was
not lOng until he was in his natural ell
cmcnt. Much Of his work is done on
general instructions from Washington.
For instance. he will be told that
