Wit is said that vodka, in one form ^^ ^p another, is still smuggled through r^^^Whe Russian lines, and there have been numerous instances of its illicit manufacture and sale since the nation-wide prohibition law passed; but the Russian authorities are doing what they can to suppress the illicit traffic. And the British government is looking after the interests of ,its soldiers in this matter, with strict rules and regulations.. A story is told hi the Minneapolis T/\nrn?li nfWftrftfitfto eitt-r Mat in the Britisharmy, but "who T couldn't get in bbcaiise he was all shot to. pieces with alcohol." He , was made to realize that it was "the drink or the job;" he wanted to do his share of fighting for his country. And the story follows: "He went into the wilds of Scotland and put himself into such shape that he was passed and sent somewhere into France. "They shipped him home later with a badly shattered knee. He was . thin, but his eyes were still bright, and his muscles were as hard as those of a horse: At the club some one touched a button and the waiter . appeared. f " 'What will you have to drink, m sir?' 'Nothing,' Graydon replied, v 'Out there on the firing line, where W the shells are breaking overhead, machine guns are tearing up the earth, liquid fire is squirting out of a hose, r poisonous gases are settling over a trench and bombs are dropping from the sky?every man still has a chance?but when that other stuff once gets a good hold on him, he hasn't any.'" That is pretty good temperance i talk, from the firing lines, and from the press it has passed to the pulpit, where it preaches its own sermon. One of the war correspondents says that stories of angels with swords of fire, cheering on the men, and ghosts that strolled between the trenches at nightfall, were the result of too liberal wine-indulgence. The Russian soldiers, with imaginations thus fortified, revived their mystic traditions," and ancient heroes on i white horses appeared to them, at the head of ghostly, victorious battalions; but notwithstanding the fact that according to the correspondent, u. the inspiring vision caused them to "fight like devils next day/' even in a war's butcher-business men should * fight like men! They are there to t kill or be killed, and they must keep their wits about them! The remark of an Irish soldier was: "When I'm killed, I want to know it!"?Atlanta Constitution. Salary Remains $6,000. Columbia, Feb. 19.?The free conmittoo nf th<* bniico anH ! senate on the appropriation bill fixed the salary of the superintendent of the State Hospital for the Insane at * ' $6,0 0dT and this item stands in the hill and will become law.

The aDrronriation bill carries approx imatelv $2,477,531.29. ! earthquake felt. \ Tremor of Slight But Distinct Nature Occurred About 5:45 P. M. Monday. Atlanta, Feb. 21.?An earth tremor of slight, but distinct, nature, that made itself felt throughout Georgia, North and South Carolina, Virginia and portions of Eastern Tennessee and Alabama, was reported here tonight as* having been felt at about 5:45 p. m., central time, today. In no case was any damage reported, and while in some instances persons hurriedly left buildings there was nothing in the nature of a panic. The only seismograph known to be in the section affected by the tremor is at Mobile, Ala., where the instrument recorded brief shocks. Most reports agreed that the tremor passed from east and west and was felt only momentarily. In Augusta, Ga., and several other places, however, three distinct shocks were reported. At other points only one tremor was felt. The earth shock either did not reach Florida or was so slight as not to be felt there, according to reports here tonight. A Tramp Ritual. As decided by one of the scribes in police court wher? he had been carried to be tried for loafing. Q. Who conjes here? A. A poor worthless candidate for charity who begs to have and receive part of the free lunch of this town set apart for regular customers as many thousand tramps have done before me. Q. How do you expect to gain rights and privileges? A. By being a man too lazy to work and not ashamed to beg and under a tongue of generally bad report. Q. Where can this report be had of you? A.

In a small bar-room adjoinij4 - ' , ....... j. - ; - vTng my place of abode. Q. How were, you then prepared? A. By being kicked and cuffed around until divested of nearly all my clothes, having been previously deprived of my money and diamonds. Q. What first induced you to become a tramp? A. That I might travel all over this land and indulge my ravenous appetite for beer and sponge my living from the easily humbugged public. Q. How am I to know you to be a tramp? A. By the size and laziness of my feet, by signs, grips and words. Q. What is a word? A. Certain plausible tales that will best induce the lady of the house to give up pies and cake. Q. What is a sign?

A. No. Get some other fellow. Q. How did you first gain admission to this town? A. By a good long tramp at "low twelve," the time when all policemen are called from labor to refreshments. Q. How were you received? A. By a cop just on the point of taking a Manhattan eye-opener. Q. What did he do with you? A. He conducted me around from east to west to the court house and ftold me to stand erect and face the public judge. Q. What did the judge say to you? - A. He told me to say my name and promise to obey the laws, after which he ordered me to take a step to the left and follow .the cop to the place from whence I came.?"the jail." A TRAMP. Storing This Cotton Paid. St. Matthews, February 21.?The Banks & Wimberly company, of this place, delivered to the Southern road here today, 3,100 bales of cotton from their warehouse. This cotton was stored in 1914, when cotton was selling for six cents. For this lot they received 11.90 for 1,600 bales and 11.50 for 1,500 bales. They still have on hand 1,500 bales. This is evidence of what storing cotton means to the farmer. Within less than fifteen months 100 per cent, more was given for this staple. / i TWO-QUART MEASURE. Free Conference Report Submitted 011 Bill Cutting Down Allowance. Columbia, Feb. IS.?The free conference report on the two-quart-amonth bill struck out section 10, which requires a man, if he carries whiskey in a grip, to paste a label on the outside stating how much whiskey the grip contains. The free conference also struck out the word ?> ? ii? ? I u:ii ~ ^ receive, as me original uni pi inhibited a man from giving his friend a drink. The section prohibiting non-residents from getting whiskey while in this State was also stricken out. The bill as finally adopted allows each resident of the State to order two quarts of whiskey or five dozen bottles of beer per month. As soon as the bill is signed by the governor it will become law. She Pound a Remedy. Mrs. Newlywed: "Well, dear, I've found a flat and the cars go right past the door." Mr. Newlywed: "Won't the noise of the electrics disturb you, my love?"
