BUY A LICENSE TO DIUNK. That is Done in Australia, and \\^at is Taken is Recorded. v The Australian liquor law is the best after all, if you really want to control the traffic and at the same time make it produce a revenue, says the Macon' (Ga.) Telegraph. Better than the English law that requires the barkeeper to post the names of the drunkards in the bar, for a man that's a drunkard doesn't care if his name is posted. In Australia they allow as many saloons as there are men willing to pay the nominal license, which is just enough to pay the registration fee. Every man who drinks, or ex pects to drink, in a saloon must go to the city hall and take out a license in the shape of a brass check, on which is stamped a number, and for this he pays 55 a year and must always carry it with him. Before he can get a drink in any saloon he must display that brass check. If he is a native regular customer, a barkeeper looks over his book and tallies his drink or drinks. If he is a stranger, and has take^ it his license fee, the new man is entered on the book with his number, ? ? J T- - ? J-!?. 1. 4 r* nrc\ incf ana ms unun euicicu up agaiu^t him. Failure to do this, or selling a man a drink without having been shown the brass check means the absolute and actual closing up of the bar room. Home Barred to Cameron Girl. Chicago, Oct. 31.?Lucile Cameron, whose alleged abduction by Jack Johnson has involved the colored pugilistic champion in a mesh of trouble, has been barred by her stepfather from his home in Minneapolis. . Mrs. Falconet, the girl's mother, who is here with Lucile pending the trial of Johnson's case, received a letter from her husband notifying her that she must choose between him and her daughter. The mother fought hard to keep back the tears as she read the letter over and over again. She feared lest any show of emotion might betray the cause to her daughter and make her forget all her promises. In Minneapolis, Falconet said: "I will not allow Lticile Cameron to come into m home again* I have had nothing to do with her now, nor will I have in the future. Mrs. Falconet is welcome any time she comes home. I have heard nothing from her since she left Minneapolis for Chicago only that which I have read in the papers. Wants the Girl Sent Away. "The girl is nothing to me. I have no interest in her. In my opinion she should be locked up in some institution for a few years. It would do her good. "I should say not. Why should I? She is not my daughter. I refuse to have anything to do with her again. My wife can come back, but never with Lupile. She must choose between the two of us." .Mrs. Falconet to-day refused to discuss this phase of the case. The abduction case against Johnson was on Judge Hopkins's calendar to-day. When it was called Johnson was present with his attorney, E. W. Day. An Assistant United States Attorney asked that the case be continued until the investigation of the federal grand jury was completed. The court decided to postpone the matter. Here Johnson stepped up to the railing of the judge's bench. "Your honor, may I say a few words?" he began. "I want to prove to the world that I am innocent. I want to show that I meant no harm to any girl, white or black. I want to " Here he was interrupted by the court. "This is no time for speeches nor is this the place. If you have anything to say, say it outside," said the judge. "But," began the pugilist. "I "There are no 'buts' to it," replied the judge. "You do what I say. Your case is over." An hour later a man with a bulging hip pocket breezed into the Unit-' ed States marshal's office and yelled: "Where is that Jack Johnson?" "Who are you?" asked Chief Deputy Wolff. "I am from Kentucky and if Chicago men haven't the nerve to put that negro away, I'll do it." "The government will take care of him," said Wolff. "If I run across him, I'll save the government time and money." Might as Well and save lTouuie. The wealthy old lady was very ill and sent for her lawyer to make her will. "I wish to explain to you," she said weakly, "about disposing of my property." The lawyer was sympathetic. "There, there, don't worry about it," he said soothingly; "just leave it to me." "Oh, well," said the old lady resignedly, "I suppose I might as well. You'll get it anyway."?Ladies' Home Journal. SENSATION'S SIDELIGHTS. Some Explanations are Given for Arrests in Greenville. Greenville, Oct. 30.?Concerning the manner in which Messrs. Gilreath, Phillips and Gosnell were arrested Sunday night, and the treatment accorded them, some rather interesting developments came to light yesterday. A great many people have been curious to know why Magistrate Stradley authorized Sheriff-elect Hendrix Rector to execute the warrants when Deputy Sheriff John S. Hunsinger, Sheriff J. Perry Poole or other officers were available. Magistrate Stradley was asked for a statement yesterday in regard to the matter and following is what he said: "As I was at tea Sunday evening Hendrix Rector, W. L. Mauldin and Jack Power came to my home with three warrants already made out and requested that I sign them. I did so, and turned the warrants over to write on the back of it the officer whom I would designate to make the arrests. I found that the name of Hendrix Rector had already been inserted in the blank. I asked why Sheriff Poole could not serve the warrants, and Rector replied that Sheriff Poole had requested that he (Rector) be designated to make the arrests. I took him at his word and assented. Now any man who says that this is not the way the thing took place is a liar, and let him come to me if he doesn't like it." When the warrants were sworn out and the arrests were made Sheriff Poole was not in Greenville. Sheriff Poole deplores the manner in which the arrests were carried out, and stated yesterday that if he had been here he would have telephoned Mr. Gilreath that a warrant had been issued for him and would have requested him to come down ana bring his bondsmen. "I never thought for a moment that the warrants were going to be served Sunday night," said Magistrate Stradley yesterday afternoon. "I naturally supposed that Mr. Rector would wait until Monday and telephone the three men that warrants had been issued for them and ask them to come down and bring their bondsmen." T ? mm Says She Was Drugged. Chicago, Oct. 30.?The federal grand jury resumed its investigation of Jack Johnson, and, according to persons close to the district attorney's office, an indictment based on the Mann act is near. Lucile Cameron and her mother arrived from the Rockford jail. Th<*> girl has told her mother that she will testifv to all she knows. She appear ed to-day to be entirely recovered from the shocks of last week. "I am going with mother," she said, "and I am glad to be back in civilization again." Then she seated herself at a typwriter and deftly ratlted off two letters. She is continually in the custody of a deputy marshal. "I see the light now," continued Miss Cameron, "and I will go wherever mother wants to go. I want to leave this horrible city. It has been a nightmare to me. As I see it now I believe I was under the influence of drugs most of the time. I have only a dim recollection of many things, and time seems to have passed by the week without my noticing it." Mrs. Falconet* said her daughter had given over entirely her former resolve to "stick to Johnson," and now was convinced she should return to her mother and aid in prosecuting the pugilist. The girl walked wun a Dns*., springy step. She almost danced along the corridors of the federal building. In the marshal's office she chatted with reporters until the marshal warned her she was a federal witness and must be careful in the discussion of the case. Summer House in Oak Tree. ^ One of the finest and most remarkable trees in the State is the mammoth oak on the estate of William Barber, in the town of Exeter. The tree is about eighteen feet in circumference at the base and five great branches which leave the trunk about twelve feet above the ground, form the support for a spacious platform, which in times past was used by the owner of the farm as a summer house. The lowest of these branches, which forms the principal support for the platform, leaves the trunk of the tree almost at right angles and the others form a symmetrical dome, 1 - - 1 ' ^ Ar?r?

The great oak formed an ideal retreat for gatherings of relatives and friends of the owner. It is located not far from Beach pond, which a few years ago was a favorite retreat for a considerable number of summer visitors, who made the summer house among the branches their favorite rendezvous.?Providence Journal. TELLS OF ESCAPE. jg Vaughn Docs Xot Know Who Assisted Him. J* Greenville, Nov. 2.?A statement ? bearing the signature of T. U. 2 Vaughn was made public to-night in S Greenville, having been secured by S the sheriff-elect, Hendrix Rector, who 5 visited Vaughn in the death house at 0 the penitentiary in Columbia Friday, ? Vaughn's statement embraces about 2J 3,000 words, giving complete details 5 of his escape from Greenville jail last J3 June, although he admits that he is \| not sure of the identity of-the man ? who helped him escape. It will be g remembered that the arrest last Sunday of Police Inspector Gilreath and S two other officers was made upon the 5 statement by Sheriff-elect Rector that \S Vaughn had confessed that these ? men assisted him in breaking jail. g The statement is also made and 2* vouched for that some days before 3 Vaughn made his alleged confession 5 to Rector as to his escape from jail IS he made a statement to a prominent ? Greenville minister implicating en- g tirely different men from those named to Rector. That part of Vaughn's S statement relating to the identity of ? his assistant is as follows: "My first impression after getting ? outside through the broken bars was g -L1? r\f Honrv A th^t 1 W US 1H Lilt? y i V/JL XAVM* ^ My Southern, a trustee of the orphan !g home, for upon more than one occa- 5 sion prior to my arrest he had urged >S me to go away, assuring me that he ? was voicing the sentiment of the bal- ft ance of the trustees. "The first word spoken was by this /x strange visitor, who said, 'Get your- ac self ready; everything is right; keep ? your nerve.' This was said in a sup- ft pressed voice with apparent effort to ft conceal the owner's identity. I sub- g sequently saw by all actions and appearance that it was not my friend, as Henry Southern. V; "This man proceeded to adjust the ? saw in a saw frame and began to saw ft the bars very slowly and cautiously, g This was about 10 p. m. Several saws /g were broken before the bottom of the bars were sawed in two. Several as times the sawing was interrupted by S the cries of a negro woman who was confined in the cell just above him, ft yelling at the top of her voice that somebody was breaking jail. One in- S terruption lasted probably one hour. S The sawing was resumed in spite of vb the woman's alarm and at about 1:30 8 or 2 a. m. the sawing of the upper 0 part of the bar was completed and g the piece of bar removed by me and /g laid upon the floor of the cell. I made an effort to get out at the open- >S ing but found that it was too small. 8 I removed my clotning and passed ra them to the party on the outside, g who laid them on some rocks near the window. "Every act of this man, coupled |S with size and other characteristics, 8 led me to conclude that my assistant k! was Jeff D. Gilreath. Still I am not g sure absolutely that it was he. Never- g theless, I never have been able to af suspect any one else in this connection. I proceeded on my way to 8 Spartanburg which place I was sev- ft oral days in reaching and never met g any one who had the silghtest eon- /z nection with my escape. The party 3P who assisted me to escape wore a v dark suit and a hat of light or gray 8 color, crushed in. I never have had 8 any communication with either of the g parties charged with aiding me to jS escape since my recapture. The doctor stated to me to-day that I am in 5 full possession of my mental facul- 8 ties, and I make this statement in 8 the fear and sight of God." g Not the Substantial Kind. 8 The Pullman porter stood before 5 the traveling man in expectant atti- 8 tude. 8 "Well, George," said the traveler, g "can I give you anything?" g "Whatever your generosity permits, sir," answered the porter. >1 "Well, boys," replied the traveler, 8 turning to his companions and wink- 8 ing, "let's give the porter three g cheers."?Ladies' Home Journal. ? SYMPTOMS OF CONSUMPTION | Yield to Vinol. j| The medical profession do not be- S lieve that consumption is inherited, 8 but a person may inherit a weakness K or tendency to that disease. g A prominent citizen of Evansville, 3 Ind., writes: "I was ill for five months with pulmonary trouble, and 8 had the best of doctors; I had hemorr- g hages and was in a very bad way. 2 Through the advice of a friend I tried Vinol, and I feel that it saved my 8 life. It is all you recommend it to g be. I believe it is the greatest medi- / cine on earth. I have advised others to try Vinol, and they have had the 8 same results." (Name furnished on g request.) S Vinol soothes and heals the inflamed 3 surfaces and allays the cough. Vinol 8 creates an appetite, strengthens the g digestive organs and gives the patient 2 strength to throw off incipient pulmo- 3 nary diseases. 8 Try a bottle of Vinol with the un- 6 derstandlng that your money will be 2 returned if it does not hfiln vou. 3 I Peoples Drug Co., Bamberg, S.
