THE BRICE LAW AGAIN. The Matter Up Berore Justice Pope To Be Heard in Supreme Court On December 4. The dispensary fight against the Brice law by Messrs. Bellinger & Welch and John G. Capers continues. Major Robert H. Welch appeared be fore Chief Justice Y. J. Pope at chambers on Thursday afternoon and secured two orders in connection -with this matter. ' In both macters the petitioner is Adam L. Aull, a resident taxpayer of the County of Newberry. In the first petition he sets out that out of the net income derived by the Sate from the sale of liquors in this state under the dispensary law, after apportion ing. the required amount to the defi ciencies existing in The various coun ties of the state, there is still re maining in the State Treasurer's hands, subject to payment on the warrant of the Comptroller General, a large surplus -subject to the ap portionment by the Comptroller Gen eral, and of which, he contends, the common schools of Newberry are en titled to a portion of said surplus. That the said Comptroller General threatens and is about to so appor tion said surplu.s as to deprive the comanon schoools of Newberry of any part thereof, and refuses to draw his warrant in favor of said schools for any amount whatsoever. The peti ion then quotes Article XI, Section 12, of the Constitution, and certain Acts of the General Assembly,' and states there is no rrant of law for refusing to the comon schools of Newberry county a portion of said surpkis, unless it be found in the so called Brice act, "which said act is, as petitioner respectfully contends, null and void, inasmuch as it contra venes said Article XI, $ection 12, of the Constitution of this state." Peti tioner prays that said Brice act be de clared unconstitutional, and that the Comptroller General be restrained from paying out to, or drawing his official warrant for the 'sum of $533.56, or any part thereof, in favor"of the common schools of any county other tan Newberry county, and that he be dir'ected to draw 'his official warrant in favor of the common schools of Newberry cgunty for their proportion ate share of said surplus in propor 'tion to the enrollment in said pub lic commnon schools. The order signed tby Chief Justice Pope in response to this petition di rec'ts that Comptroller General A. W. Jones, the respondent, show cause be fore the supreme court, at Columbia, on December 4, why the prayer of the petitioner should not be granted, and that zhe be enjoined and restrained fronm paying out, or drawing his offi cial warrant for $533.56, which sum it is alleged in the petition would be ap portioned to the public schools *of Newberry, were it not for the pro visions of the act commonly called ~'. the Brice act. In the second petition the county board of control ,of Newberry and Dispensary Commissioner WV. 0. Ta turn are made respondents, the pe titioner being the same as in the pe - tition above referred to. The petition er 'sets out the dispensary law and the Brice act, and contends, on grounds now familiar to the puiblic, that the Brice act is unconstiutional. Where fore the petitioner prays that the said act 'be declared unconstitutional, null and void; that the said county board of conrrol be enjoined from 'keeping said dispensaries in Newberry county closed and be compelled 'by the order of the court to open the same in pur suanice of the valid law of the state; that the said dispensary commissionerI be enjoine'd from refusing to furnish said liquors to the countcy dispensers and be directed by the order of this court to furnish the same, pursuant to the valid laws of the state," etc. In .response to rhis petition C*hieft Justice Pope signed an order which reads in part as follows: "That the respondents, as the coun ty board of control for Newberry county and d'ispensary commissioner, do 'show cause before the supreme court of this state, in its court room, in the city of Columbia, on the 4th day of December, 1905, at io o'clock a. mn., why the prayer of the petition er 'herein should not be granted." Major Robert H. Welch returned to Columbia Thursday night. He THE SOUTHERN FARMER. A New Farm Magazine to be Pub lished From! Newberry. We beg to call especial attention tc the prospectus soi 'The Southerr Farmer published below. This wil be" a purely agricul,cural paper, non< of that kind now being published ir this state. The reputation of the con tributing editors is a sufficient guar anty that the paper will prove inter esting and profitable, 'not only tc the farming class of tour people but 'cc the members of other professions as well. We bespeak for the new papei a cordial reception by our people. Prospectus. Recognizing the progress now mak ing in agriculcure in the cotton states and realizing the demand for up-to date literature bearing on all depart ments of rural industry, it seems at opportune time to enter the field wihich niow lies open for the -advent of an agricuhural journal devoted t< the interests of those engaged in "the most helpful, most useful; and most noble employment of man." We have, therefore, decided to pub lish The Southern Farmer as a broad gauge journal in wihich our rura. friends will find instructilon upon ev ery subject of interest .to the tiller of the soil. Upon its pages we lhope to have mirrored the Ibest thought and practice for the field, the stockyard, the dairy, the garden, the vineyard, the poultry yard, the flower yard and the lhome circle. Especial emphasis will be placed upon whatever will con tribute -to rendering rural homes at tractive and life on the farm more happy and prosperous. Public Policy. While its columns will be open to discussions of all questions of agri culture, political economy and such public measures as affect the inter ests of the agricultural industry, noth ng political or partisan will be ad mitted. Public measures will be dis cussed from the standpoint of thle general good, but all partisan politics will be excluded not only from its ditorial colu.mn's but from contribu tions as well. While it shall labor o ukphold an elevated, social and mor al standard, associated with temper ne and Christianity, nvothing parti san or sectarian will be admitted. Ladies' Department.

To carry out our wishes we cordially in vite contributions from ladies on any subject in whichi they are interested hether it be fashions or culinary recipes, the latest novel or the domes tic manipulation of milk and butter. Education. :Ilhe Southern Farmer will ever be found battling in the front rank of Uhe friends of education which looks b the development of our youth into useful men and women. No class of citizens is more deeply interested in the improvement of the public school system. especially in the rural dis tricts, than the tillers of the soil. Hgher institutions of learning, by xvhatever name known, wvill find a friend in The Southern Farmer, and if ny hobby is admitted to its columns, it will be that of industrial and tech nical education, not only in college but in our public schools; not 6nly for boys but 11or girls as wvell. Discussions. Dignified. good-humored discus sios of all legitimate subjects are ordially invited but no offensive per sonaities will 'be allowed. Experience Department. No matter 'how thorough may be the education or scierntific training ei ie agriculturist, his work is largely one of experience. In view of thi5 fact wve most cordially invite contri butions from practical farmers, 'hor ticulturists, and stock men, giving the results of their experiences wvhether of successes or failures. The latter often convey as valuable lessons as the former. Enquiry Department. We desire to make The Southerr' Farnier a medium of commuxnicatior for mutual instruction for its readers through fie question box. Questionm relating to any subject connected wit] rural economy, whether of the field the gre, the orchard, vineyard poultry year, dairy, -flower yard, stocli yard, or the 'household, will receiv< prompt attention.

Southern Farmer Co., Newberry, S. C Japanese Marriage Laws. Harper's Weekly. Although Japan has revealed her self as highly enlightened in 'so many spheres of civilization, she has n9t yet applied reformatory principles to the institution of nlarri-age. There is as yet no such tlhing in Japan 'as equality between 'the sexes. The law relating to marriage recog nizes no wrongs except on thle part of the .wife, from whom the husband may obtain 'a divorce by merely as serting ihat he is tired of her, or upon any of the following grounds: Disobedience, a'dulteDy, barrenness, jealously, .plhtysical antipathy, talka tiveness or theft. When a girl is 'about to marry, her mother impresses upon her various rules of conduct to be followed dur ing her wedded life. Some of -these are: "Be always amiable to your mother in- law an,d father-in-law. "Don't talk too much. "Get up early, go to 1bed -date and' never sleep in the afterndon. "Until you arc fifty, never mix in crowds. "Do not consult fortune tellers. "Do not wear light clothes. 'Never allow yourself to be jealous. "Even if your ihusband is in the wrong never get angry. "Never speak evil of your neigh brs. An All-Inclusive Charity. Thet 'woc hurches of Coldville were not on the best terms with each other. The clergymen were friendly, but a spirit of'riv.alry animated most of the members, and the two socities sel dom united for any purpose, religious. charitable or social. Mrs. Harmon, a recent acquision to the town. joined the North church, where she speedily proved herself val uable in many ways. "She's got what I call a wonderful lot of grace," said one of the other members to 'her husband. "Why, if you'll believe me, William, she seems to - love everybody. 'Tisn't only her friends in 'the church and the neigh bors; she actually speaks as if she felt real pleasant toward the members of the South church. I couldn't get her to a say one single thing against any of them!" 1Never judge a woman's beauty by Iher make-up.
