Salmagundi According to the News and Cour. ier, enterprising Georgians are busy on the problem of the wireless trans. mission of booze. Perhaps the whole trouble started in Georgia, says the Spartanburg Herald, when the late governor gave that boozeless banquet just before going out of office. A practical joker in Pittsburg blew red pepper into the atmosphere of a crowded theater, and sneezed him elf to death as a result. Occasiona ly the innocent bystander gets reven e. The wife of Capt. Ross L. 'Bdsh U. S. A., now stationed Alcatraz. Island, is suing him for divorce on the ground that the only recreation he permits himself or her is Bible reading every night; and that she. being a social person, cannot vo on thus for the rest of her da) s. There ere few such officers in the United States army, happily for their wives. Are there really any truly great native Texans? Bailey is a Tennes seean and Culberson was born in Alabama. The editor of the Hous ton Post, we believe, was born in South Carolina, more's the pity. Tillman also is a native of South Carolina. We couldut help it. [News and Courier. Henry James says the American girl is elusive. Henry should invite one to an ice-cream feast this hot weather, and get that foolish notion out of his head. The news columns of the papers Friday annonioced that the members of the Georgia legislature had gone to the state insane asylum. Oue man was moved to remark that they ought to be confined there indefil itely. The D)uchess Vendome. a bister of thie future kirg of Begium, is c3oming te America to hunit hears in Colorado. She is a great, sportswoman and has done much hunting in the Tyrol and .Black forest. Recent careful, surveys on the Isthmus of Panama prove that Gatun Lake, the great storage reservoir which will be formed by the building of the Gatun dam near Colon, will have an area of 125 square miles. The former estimate was 110 square miles. T1he result will be beneficial to the canal, as the greater quantity of water stored up will allow of fifty six lockages a day, instead of only twenty-six, the former eslimate. "How changeable you mortals are,"~ exclaimed a Cold W ave?" "Why do you think so?" queried a man, grate fully baring his brow to its touch. "I was here last April," continued the Cold Wave, "und never got the glad baud once." The News and Courier is of the opinion that "the dispensary busmness in Charleston is picking up, the sales In July exceeding the sales in June yv about $1,000. We have no means of knowmng how the business of the blind tiger~s in July compared with the business of the previous month, but there appears to be no doubt that between the dispensaries and the tigers thcre is a good deal of drinking in Charleston- Yet, we venture to say, there is less intemn peranco here than in any town of the same size and opportunities in toot HO kdMetcalr4 if the secretary of the navy, is tb Pacific slope's sole representativo to In among the hostesses of the executive in 3et.
