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

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

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."

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? Antr ATTOr o Hon r?_
wmcn proviues a cauv^.j <*
ing platform which has been built
beneath the tree on the ground.
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
