The Artillery Wants More Exercise. Editors Courier j It is apparent to ?ll who read it tba ti. O. 17 C. S. Headquarters, Department of the Kiist, prescribing the course in alb tetics and giving lists of exercises suitable for military tournaments ami athletic contests, was prepared hy an infantry officer for the use of infantry troops. It is thought that in this depart? meut whert the proportion of artil lery to infantry posts is about fifty five to eight, more attention should bu devoted to contests suitable to artillery troops. The following are suggest? d for tho ?se when the subject of the re vision of this order is under consid eration, as being peculiarly suitable for artillery and those in which from long practice may be expected to excel : 1.

Acting upon a report by Chief State Constable I lammet, Governor Moy ward recently ordered Mr. Ham met to agnin place dispensary con st aides at work in Picketts county. They will ho paid out of the pro ceeds of a special levy of a half mill ill that county. Mr. Hato met also tonde a report as to Newberry, but action as to that county lias been postponed for further investigation. Mr. Ilnmmet's report is as follows, addressed to the Governor: "At your request I paid a visit to Newberry and Picketts counties last week, and endeavored to gather such information ns would enable me to mak<> to you an impartial report of the actual situation with reference to tito enforcement of tho law, which report I trust will prove satisfactory. "At Newberry I conferred with n number of the most prominent peo ple, both for and against the dispen sary, ami from a careful review of what was "old me I am led to believe that tlie local oflicinls and the bettor element of the citizens desire the en forcement of the law, and are en deavoring to compel it in tho city, lint at the same time I am forced to the conclusion that it is being vio lated in certain parts of tho county outside of tile town, and I would recommend that constables be placed in tin* county where it is necessary to prevent the trafti'i in whiskey aa long as it may be deemed advisable. "From Newberry I went to Diek ens, where I found about the same conditions existing, with the excep tion that I satisfied myself that liquor is being sold in the towtis as well as in the country. Here, too, I inter viewed a number of substantial and well-posted citizens, eliciting from them sufficient information t<> war rant tin? above opinion. I learn that the distillers are again active, and that most of the whiskey being used is blockade. "In view ol* the above fitcts 1 recommend that constables be placed in Dickens county where necessary." O -A. JE? T ?O? !FL I -A. " Boan the J? Kind You Have Always Bought TIST" fZ?^& Oakway Items.
