The State supreme court has decided there is no Statute in the State to prohibit liquor from being delivered for personal use. The Governor claims this decis ion has made it useless to con tinue the employmbnt of a con staoulary, and - has issued an order dismissing those now in the service to take effect June 1st. It is hard to say whether or not the conclusion of the gover nor that the court's decision renders it useless to have these officers, is wise or not. The liquor constables in Charleston a'nd Columbia have done very little towards the enforcement of the law or to putting out of business the blind tiger ele ment, the little which has been done other places was ac complished by the local author ities -through employing detec tives mainly. Nevertheless, we are not sure the governor's ac tion in dismissing the constables is wise, without officers of this ' 'nd we have no assurance that the law outside of incorporated towns and cities will have atten tion given to it. If the magis trates; and their constables out side of the towns would be active in putting down the illicit sale of liquor in their respective communities, we believe it would have a beneficial effect, and possibly do more good than the State constables, but with the local officers inactive, and no State officers to look after this growing defiance of law, we fear there wil- be more lawlessness than before, especially, since our highest State court has re fused to say the shipment for personal use must not be deliver ed, until thegeneral assembly en acts a law that will made such shipments unlawful. As w e understand Governor Blease's position, it was his purpose to put into operation a force which would have seized all iquor coming into the State whether for personal use or otherwise had not the court lied:is hands, but his efforts, from his' viewpoint, would be futile after the court has decreed as it has. It will now be. up to the gen eral assembly to say whether or not it will have a law which will give to the, State the right to a . seize liquors whether for per annaluseor not, if it does, South Qu Cionina will be as dry as a pow der horn, and we will have an ideal condition so far as the com sumptilon of liquor is concerned ia the counties where the peo pie by their votes have, declared against the legal sale, and in those counties where it is legally -'soldt1ie dispensaries will reap ahai-vest.,eaue the beverage eaa only be secured from the dIsgansaiies, and the transpor lation companies can only de liver to the authorized places of - legal sale. There are but few counties in this State where 4 iquor can be legally sold, but m several other counties there ~. s an effort being made to restore the sale; should these counties ~e return to the wet column and add themselves to those already wet, there will be a question for the courts to decide, whether or Snot South Carolina is a Prohibi on State, as contemplated un SAct, which has just beea, con strued by our court as permit ting personal's liurto be ~Xdelivered, in the absense of a State statute~to the contrary. about the time people become accustomed to a condition, some thing new arises to keep the mis erable controversy stirring. WELL GET NOTHING. The old dispensary will not ~'down. Attorney General Peebles has been asked by citizens of ~3Chester to bring suit against r- Joseph B. Wylie,. a member of -the former dispensary board, to recover $28,000 rebate money which he acknowledged receiv ing as his share of the rebates .paid to the members of the board of - control. Attorney General Peebles has the matter under Sconsideration, and if there is any chance to recover this mon ey he will bring the suit. Wylie it will be remembered, received immunity from prosecution by the former attorney general be cause of his turning State's evi dence, now whether this immiun ity also absolves him from the financial responsibility is a ques -tion yet to be determined. At the time of the trial at which Mr. Wylie became a witness for the State against his colleagues on the board of control we said then Sthat if Wylie would turn over his ill gotten gains there might be something in his profession of penitence,. he did not do this, but held on to the swag and told 'on the others in accordance with an arrangement mide to save himself from going to prison. A man who can do this can also find a way to hide the money he obtained so there will be very little chance for the State to come into its own. According to a dispatch from Spartanburg published in this morning's News and Courier, a warrant has been issued for Rev. S. A. Nettles, charging him with assault and battery, resulting Sfrom a quarrel Mr. Nettles had Lwi th another preacher by the naeof James B. Chick over a nncial. transaction. EXECUTION BLOCKED. The supreme court of this State has affirmed the decision of the Marlboro court which con victed one Joe Malloy for the murder of two white boys near Bennettsville. Hon. W. F. Stev enson, of Cheraw, counsel for Malloy, has taken an appeal to the United States court on the ground that when Malloy commit ted the deed the law provided the death penalty by hanging, but be fore conviction the law had been changed so that the death pen alty would be electrocution. Law yer Stevenson contends the sen tence of Malloy to the chair is un constitutional, because when the crime was committed there was no such penalty, and as there is no provision for hanging in this State no punishment can be in inflicted which results in death. Mr. Stevenson is an able law yer, and when The St. e says "such argument holds reason as a seive of large mesh holds wa ter" it does not give him credit for the astuteness his political opponents concede to him. When Mr. Stevenson makes his argu ment to the court it will make interesting reading we are sure. He will give that tribunal a nut to crack. There is another-case recently decided, the decision be ing based upon the Malloy de cree, in which the prisoner is to be remanded back to the Claren don court for sentence, whether this will be done in the coming term has not been made known, but it may be that the lawyers for Bethune will ask for a stay until the Malloy case has been adjudicated in the United States supreme court. No man should be hastily or inconsiderately convicted, espec ally, where the penalty is death, because once dead a wrong can not be remedied. at the same time there should be some, way- by which the delays of justice can be prevented. Take the Bethune case from this county, the pris oner has been brought to and from the penitentiary a number of times, the county is paying this expense, we are told the pen itentiary has a claim against Clarendon for over $500. and the longer the prisoner is held the more the expense; after each sentence his lawyer finds some new ground to delay the execu tion of the law, how long this is to continue no one knows. We do not know what the next move for the defence in the Be thune case will be, but inasmuch as Lawyer Stevenson, a recog nized lawyer of ability has dcem ed it wise to carry a case to the highest court, it can be surmised the lawyers for Bethune will not be content to let their client pay the penalty at this stage, as it gives them a reasonable ground to ask the court to stay the exe cution SWAMP DRANAGE. The matter .of draining our swamp lands has been taken up by Mr. James A. Thames. He has received a reply from Con gessman Whaley, in which he says he thinks he can get the government to send engineers down into these swamps to make the survey after the drainage districts have been organized under the provisions of the State laws. Our impression is the law provides for the divid ing up the low lands into sec tions or districts, this is done by petition, and when the requisite number of the owners of the land in a given district signify intention of making a drainage district,a survey is made and an election is held at which the dis trict is bonded to raise the money for the work. Mr. Thames' letter from Mr. Whaley does not promise any govern ment aid further than to survey. There is no doubt the drainage of the swamp will reclaim thousands of acres of the most fertile land in the world, if the government can be induced to take on this work it will greatly aid in the further development of this, country. The difficulty now is, most of the swamp lands have gone out of the ownership of the individuals, and are own ed by syndicatees, therefore the individuals residing in the dis tricts are not enthusiastic over a project which is calculated to open up more land to compete with the farmers of today, and too, it .is thought that if the drainage is to be done by taxa tion in the districts, it practic ally means the loosening of the grip of the small owner on his land, to be eventually swallowed by the syndidate owning the swamps. Then it is also ob jected to because it is feared the openng up of these fertile lands will attract an undesirable ele ment to this country, and that we may be in the same predica ment which is now annoying the people of California, and the entire pacific slope of States. When the swamp lands were bought years ago those who in vested were long-sighted finan iers, they had the money, and we had an unproductive and tax compelling land; it was either to hold these non-profitable lands and be tax-burdened. or dispose of them at the price then pre vailing-which was a low figure, anywhere from 25 cents to $1.50 per acre, the then owners could not afford to hold them, and the syndicafe took advantage of the conditions to plant their money and wait for developments, . no doubt holding the view that some day the. government will e induced 'to carry the water from these lands, in that eventI a handsome profit will be de rived; in the meantime the tim ber, which by costly appliances, can only be obtained, will pay omthing n the investment. WHY IS IT THUS? The appeal to the United State supreme court to test the consti tutionality of the Act whic: changed the punishment in capi tal cases, is a matter for the sei ions reflection of the electors. I should be borne in mind that large per cent of the members o the general assembly are law yers-men who profess to b learned in the principles of law they scorn the views of laymei who have the temerity to appl; common sense to a legal propc sition, and yet, ,we find thes lawyers allowing Acts to pas through the general assembl; which they know are unconstitu tional or at least doubtful. Tak the case of Hon. W. F. Steven son, an acknowledged leader i the House of Representatives, man who professes to scrutiniz all pending legislation, yet th law be has asked the courts t annul was adopted under hi watchful e~:, and we have n doubt with his support. He is the attorney for a cot victed prisoner, but conterdin; the legislature of which he wa a force, enacted an unconstitu tional law, he is the first to talk advantage of his own wrong fo a fee to upset the will of the bod; of which he is a member. Mi Stevenson is only doing wha many other lawyers will do-th amount of fee is .the stimuleni The point we desire to stress i that the electorate should hol accountable for-their acts thos they send to the lawmakin body, if they find a professio enacting law which. will giv them an opportunity to mak fees, they should. be careful i making their choice of Repre sentatives. How easily it is for the legs profession in the legislature t have our laws so tangled it wil become an absolute necessity fo the supreme court to constru every property transactio made among the people, .this c ccrse will mean a stronger hol< upon the leg of the client, any litigation necessary and costly How is it today? Nearly ever; case of consequence has to rui the gauntlet of all of the courts perhaps several times, before th interested parties learn the i rights, and then, when crime i committed, and the money is fut nished, the flaws in the laws tha are enacted under the expert ey of the lawyers furnish opportur ity for delay and to thwart jus tice. - We would not say these law yers go to the legislature with purpose to muddle legislation i the. interest of their profession but we do say the laws as et acted give opportunity for mot ey-making' without regard fc the public welfare. JOHNSON SIGNS ALIEN LAND ACT. The -despatches of yesterda announce that Governor Johi son has signed the Californi alien land Act which has cause se much concern at the Nations Capitol, and which may ye brmng on embarassing situation between this countr,. and Japat Secretary Bryan as the embasse dor of the President did alli his power to prevent this legie lation but it was of no avail. Tb Act was a demand of the peop] of California, such an Act ha been demanded for many yeari the general assembly recognize this and did just what Secretar Bryan advocates, "carry out tb wishes of the people." In prat tically all of Mr. Bryan's recer speeches he says that Represet tatives mast obey the mandate of those who choose them, an whenever a Representative find he cannot do so the only honor able course left him is to resig to give place to one who can. I California there is a "yellos peril," the people are oppose to the yellow races owning land in that State, in fact, they at aso opposed to them residin there, and it was up to thei Representatives to enact som law which will keep aliens frot owning the 1g n d s, therefor4 when Secretary Bryan went t California his mission was great ly hampered by his own positio on the duty of a Representative together with the acknowledge right California had to enac laws for her own protection, prc viding there was nothing in thes laws which would abrogate treal What the outcome of this con troversy will be no one can know we have no idea it will go an; farther than a formal protes from the government of Japar and perhaps taking the questioa into the highest court-for deter mination as to whether or nc treaty rights have been trespass ed upon, or Japan may enact re taliatory measures which ma; complicate the business relation between the two countries. W have no idea there will any ac which will bring on an excus for war, Japan is not financiall prepared to get into a war wit a large power, neither is he navy adequate to cope with ours therefore we believe if the Pres ident and the Representativ from Japan cannot settle th difference by diplomacy the it cident will be closed by each sid letting it drop. 5100 Reward, $100. learn that ter i at les nc rae e stagcens an ta s Catarrbl Ha11 s Catarrh C fraternit. cta r h bing a constitut onal d ease, requires a constitutional treatment.

J.CHEN & CO., Toledo,( LET ALL TAKE A CRACK AT IT. s Judging from the number of i- counties that are preparing to h have elections on the re-estab - lishment of the dispensary, we have about reached the conclus t ion that it would be well for the a general assembly to fix a time to f sutmit this ever bobbing up question for every county in the e State, under the local option ', stipulation-those-counties wish a ing dispensaries let them have y them, and those wishing Prohi bition the same. In other words e the referendum on this question s seems to be the only way to sat. 7 isfy the people even though they will not stay satisfied. So far as e this county is concerned we know of no urgent demand to re-estab a lish the dispensary, neverthe a less, there is -not a county in the e State more in need of the money e to repair bridges and to help out o the school term. Last year some s thing of a demand for an elec o tion was created but the peti tions were not vigorously push i- ed and failed to get enough sign g ers for the supervisor to order s the election, not having ordered . the election last year, no more e elections can be had on the ques r tion under the law until after q four years has expired, the peo ple know this, therefore there is t no agitation in this county, but e in many counties the Prohibs ;. and the Dispensarites are leav s ing nothing undone to accom d plish their respective ends, re d sorting to all of the tricks of the g political game by attempting to n hoodwink the uninformed. One e side appealing on the grounds of e morality, the other side on te a ground of law and order, and the :- financial benefit. Both sides make charges, one claims the .1 whiskey trust is back of those o who are urging the dispensary, 1 and that negroes are being reg r istered to help them, thereby e threatening white supremacy, n the other side intimate the mail f order concerns ale financing the i Prohibition party in order to i continue their control of the liq nor business. A POLITICAL GAFF. Mrs. Helen D. Longstreet, r widow of the late General Long sstreet of Confederate fame, was removed from'the office of Post I Master at Gainsville, Ga., by the e present administration-she car ried her case up to the Senate Committee, but the good lady is only wasting time. The post of. fice department has had her suc a cessor appointed, and she may as well take her medicine. A 6 ost office is a political Job, re gardless of the professions of those who control them, and it r may as well be known that the jobs go to those the Congress. men wish to have them. In Mrs. Longstreet's case there was no complaint of her not giving per sonal attention to the work of Y the office, but a report was made ~that her office was badly kept.. aMrs. Longstreet~ declares that d during her years of service she 6brovght the office up to a high tstate of efficiency, in this she is s endorsed by citizens of the city, - and the voluntary evidence of 6the widow of the late Congress man Felton, a former represen Stative of the district in which e Gainsville is located. As before e said, when the government gets s ready to call for a commission, i matters not by what influence dits action was upon there is only 7 one thing to do, give it up.

The sponge crab (Dromia vul garisi is so named because of a trick it has of attachini a sponge to its back. holding it there with its claws until it is firmly fastened. Since the sponge is I filled with small needles and gives off i a strong odor it protects the crab from ] many enemies. In return it gets nour ishment from the bits of food left over from the crab's numerous repasts. This peculiar habit of the crab is shown by the behavior of a young spider crab at the New York aquarium When placed in a tank that contained many small orange colored sea anemones the crab immediately discarded the scraps of seaweed with which It was covered and adorned itself with the gayly colored anemones.

FORESTS AND HYGIENE. G The Value of Trees From the Stand point of Human Health. We hear much of the importance of c the conservation of forests from an t economic standpoint. but little is said c s to the hygienic value of forests. V Forests contribute to the general , health by breaking the force of steadi ly blowing winds. They mitigate the heat of summer by the vast amount of evaporation from their leaves that oc curs by day. They also promote rain falls. Thus they check the tendency of the earth to desiccate. which is al most as injurious to health as it Is to vegetation. Cholera often passes a wooded dis trict and revels in a treeless one.
