Officer, Capture Two IHoonnihlner, In King’, Creek Section. As was stated in Tuesday’s Ledger, Deputy Sheriff Lipscomb and State Constable Drake arrested Anderson Brown, colored, near Cherokee Falls, Sunday ,for violation of thejdispensary law, and placed him in jail here. Monday afternoon State Constables Eubanks and Seay cbine up from Spartanburg and with Deputy Lip scomb and Constable Drake they soon left for the famous King’s Creek hills, now seemingly, famous for the ever- presence of moonshine stills, and men who ire ever reidv to sally out on Sunday, or such other time ms they deem * :e, and sell ih^ product of theses '11s to such persons as are 1 willing to condone ,r encourage these people in rh ir unlawful course, which they in utter disregard of the law of the State and the moral welfare of the county. The officers arrived in the haunts of these stills and law breakers about 2 o’clock Tuesday morning, and soon dc ployed ihe force on the path where the lawbreakers walk and remained quiet till about davbrenk, when r wtnte man and a negro of the well known gang walked into their trap nod were arrested These two had abou’ five gallons of their etuff with them which was also captured. The white man, having all the wiles cun niog and dash of the criminal class, made a lunge for liberty into the dense forest. He made his escape and is Hgam at liberty to pursue his ne farious avocation which debars him salt and his wife and children, if he, has any, and’destroys the character, body and soul of his thoughtless cus lomers He, no doubt, congrntulate- himsclf. bus his punishment is only deferred. He will, as sure as the sun rises in the eas., s mie day wear the felon’s stripes and if be has a respect able friend will cause him to blush with shame if forced to mention bis name in public; and his pals have a similar fate in store for them. The officers, however, continued their work and soon found a still, minus cap and worm twenty-five gallons of whiskey and about IJoOO gallons of beer They destroyed the beer took the whiskey and still to Blacksburg and shipped them to Columbia, toe liquor headquarters of the State. Perhaps by the time this reaches the public the liquor will be branded “checnicall v pure” and offered by the S^ate to its unwary citizens, and will, from her protecting hands, do the same damaging work to her citi zens that it would have done had it gone to them through the smoky fin gers of the claw like hands of the moonshiners w^o made it, and who are now dodging about in the laurels of the King’s Creek hills to avoid the penalties of the law. King’s Creek ^ti'lnrs, quit your dirty work and avoid the loss of fortune, character and liberty, which surely awaits you if you continue it. UPTON’S COSTLY SPORT LIPTON LOOPS THE LOOP.

Eight months ago I was so ill that I was compelled to lie or ait down nearly all the time. My stomach was so weak and upset that I could keep nothing on it and I vomited frequently. I could not urinate without great pain and I coughed so much that my throat and lungs were raw and sore. The doctors pro nounced it Bright’s disease and others said it was consumption. It mattered little to me what they called it and I had no de sire to live. A sister visited mo from St. Louis and asked me if I had ever tried Wine of Cardui. I told her I had not and she bought a bottle. I believe that it saved my life. I believe many women could save much suffer ing if they but knew of its value. Don't yon want freedom from pain? Take Wine of Cardui and make one supreme effort to he well. You do not need to be a weak, helpless sufferer. You can have a woman’s health and do a woman's work in life.

At the luncheon in the White House at Washington the other day in honor of Sir Thomas Lipton interesting state ments were made concerning the cost of v challenging for and defending ihe America’s cup, says the New York World. Sir Thomas caused much sur prise when he said that If he should win the cup this time It would repre sent an Investment of considerably more than $2,000,000. If he again failed to win It, he said, he had still more millions to spend in the effort to lift it. Sir Thomas said it would cost him a little more than $1.000t000 to com pete for the cup this year. This was partly due, he explained, to the fact that he had brought over his two challengers and had had both of thorn in commission for months. Each yacht has a crew of sixty men, who are the best to be had, and the cost of keep ing them in commission a month rep resents a small fortune. Sir Thomas did not say what Sham rock III. cost him to build, but inti mated that it was close to $500,000. To the cost of the new yacht must be added tiie cost of keeping the other in commission and the expense of the Erin, in which her owner entertains in lavish style. The combined expenses of his trial for the cup this year, Sir Thomas said, would reach $1,000,000 and probably more. His two previous attempts to get the cup cost him a little more than that figure. In con trast with the cost to the challenger it was stated by one of the members of the party that the Yteliance syndicate had Invested but $800,000 in the de fender and that this amount was ex pected to cover all expenses. Following the question of the eost there was an informal discussion as to the advisability of adopting seagoing schooners in future cup races. Sir Thomas strongly favors this Idea, though he has said that he will abide by the decision of the New York Yacht club. It was a seagoing schooner which brought the cup to America. The British changed the style of the contest In an effort to regain the cup, by sending over a cutter to compete for It. That style of yacht was new on this side of the water, and it was met with a sloop, from which the present ninety footers have been evolved. They are built for wind and not for weather, and Reliance aiwl Shamrock III. are believed to represent the very highest degree of perfection In that direction. Little change, it is said, could be made in building yachts along these lines for future cup races. More than that, the yachts are so ex pensive that only millionaires can build them, and their value is gone when the last race of the series is sailed. Everything is saeclficed to speed, and they cannot even be rebuilt so that they can be used for cruising. Therefore, win or lose, Sir Thomas Lipton considers that the time is ripe for the adoption of schooners which can brave any sea and can cross the ocean under their own sail, instead of having to be towed across. With the introduction of schooners it is thought many wealthy people would build boats to compete for the honor of defending or challenging for the cup, as they could be subsequently used for ocean cruising. The races would then become more ft test of sea manship than they are now, and Sir Thomas believes the interest in the contests would be greatly stimulated. The distance could be increased and the races could he sailed in any kind of weather, for the rougher the weath er the keener would be the sport. Sir Ttiamin* Say* Coney Inland I* “tin* Greatest Place on Earth.** Sir Thomas Lipton saw Coney Island in all Its glory the other day, says the New York Herald, and shot the shoots and looped the loop and slid the belter skelter. With him were seven friends, all yachtsmen. In white duck and blue flannel, and Mr. Fife, who acted ns mentor and guide. Sir Thomas’ party arrived at Coney Island about 4 o'clock and began to make a round of the various places of amusement. First they struggled with the surging crowd In the Bowery and were carried along from one end of that famous board walk to the other. The loop the loop next attracted their attention and Sir Thomas seemed very much interested in the crowd that patronized that topsy turvy arrange ment. The proprietor induced his bookkeeper, a rather good looking young woman, to take the trip stand ing up in the car for the benefit of the English yachtsman and his friends. The girl calmly remained on her feet while the ear turned upside down at the top of the loop, and Sir Thomas clapped his hands in approval. Then Sir Thomas and his friends got into the car and were whirled around the con trivance. After the loop the loop the English men went to the shoot the shoots and went down the incline in the big boats. They had a lively time sliding down the rattan tunnel which is known as the belter skelter, took a trip to the moon on an air ship and rode the camel. Sir Thomas then aided in the opening of a new entertainment known as “twenty thousand leagues under the sea.” and he led the way into the first submarine boat which was to make the trip to the north pole. “Coney Island is a great place,” said Sir Thomas, catching his breath as he started for home. “For excitement it is almost as good ns a yacht race, while I think it excels one for physical exer cise. “It’s the greatest place on earth!” he shouted back as the two automobiles in which his party was started for New York. fbre for doctor ^ and patient.

Airedale* to Be Employed by the tier man Army. The German army is to be provided with terriers for scouting duties, writes the Berlin correspondent of the Phil adelphia Press. Aften many trials the Airedale and the German pointer have proved to be the most intelligent for war use, but the keenness of scent of the former places it far ahead of the German type. Official Instructions have been circu lated that the terriers are to be em ployed as the eyes and ears of an army in the field, as they are much more re liable than man and horse, owing to invisibility, for certain recounoissance work in front of an enemy. The Airedale terrier can uneartfl a patrol which would he hidden to man, and for carrying information the dogs are of considerable value. They can be used between a patrol and the main body, or for linking up posts, and, be ing small, their presence is unnoticed. A number of pure bred Airedales are to be obtained for breeding purposes, and it is proposed to attach to each Jaeger battalion two dogs of abnormal Intelligence, trained to carry from front to rear and return. Every regi ment will have from half a dozen to a dozen dogs. CIVILIZATION BY GAMBLING. RESOURCES: — Loans and Discounts.

The Massachusetts Medical society is moving to secure legislation for the protection of the confidential relations between physician and patient, says the Springfield (Mass.) Republican. The lawyer and clergyman now have the protection of the law for their pro fessional secrets against the questions of examining counsel, and the argu ment is that the consultation and con- fidontlal conference between the doctor and his patient, which the law does not protect, should be held equally sa cred In the courts. When called Into court as witnesses the respect in which confidences given to the two other pro fessional men are hold falls away from the doctor. He can be forced to reveal that which has been given to him un der pledge of secrecy, and this is re volting to his sense of honor. Hence the protest and appeal which come from the State Medical society.

These are the fruits of thirty years’ contact with occidental civiliza tion, and the remainder of his life will be devoted to the introduction of Amer ican methods in his native country. To that end he Is negotiating with Chinese mandarins of Canton and other cities for a gambling monopoly. “Big Jim” landed in the United States a big. penniless, rawboned cooly. He acquired a taste for gambling while working in the mines of Nevada. Many years ago be acquired a monopoly of Chinese gambling in San Francisco. To CUuMe Woly<-m Inatead of Foxen. The Mercer County (N. J.) Fox Hunt ing association, tired of the anise bag and unable to procure satisfactory foxes, has decided to attempt an Inno vation, says a special dispatch from Trenton to the New York Times. To this end four cub wolves were pur chased a few days ago and will be pre pared for a grand run shortly. It is thought that the wolves will make sat isfactory substitutes for the foxes. WORLD’S FAIR MUSIC. Special Instrument to Be Unlit For OrKan llecitul* at St. Loal*. Preparations upon a large scale are being made for the music which is to be made a feature of the St. Louis ex position in says Harper’s Week ly. There an* to be indoor orchestral concerts and organ recitals, open air band concerts—for which there will he no admission charge—and perform ances of choral music on a large scale. The idea of the committee in charge of the musical arrangements is to aim at appealing rather to the popular taste than to the more limited demand for music of the highest class, although there will be no sacrifice of dignity in the programmes. Considerable atten tion will be paid to works by American composers, which, it is hoped, will give a decided impetus to the best creative endeavor in native music. Competent conductors are to be en gaged for the orchestral concerts, among whom, it is expected, will be one of the celebrated “baton prima donnas”—as they are called abroad of Europe. For the organ recitals, in which the most eminent American and foreign organists will take part, a spe cial instrument will be constructed. It is to contain nearly 150 stops and will be, It is said, the largest organ in the world. The orchestral and organ con certs are to be held in Festival hall, the center of the main group of build ings. NOVEL DIVORCE CURE. NEW ARMY MEDICAL DEVICE Te*tN to Be Made In Tran*portlnK Material at Fort Hlley Maneuver*. Acting at the request of the surgeon general of the army, the war depart meat has made arrangements for the testing of a device for transporting sur gical material and medical stores in the field at maneuvers at Fort Riley in Septemljer, says the Kansas City Star. The device has been constructed at Washington barracks. The surgical material and medical stores arc to be placed in tin receptacles which are fit ted to wooden cases. The cases are constructed so that they can be at tached to the bottom of ambulances on each side and in the roar of the front wheels. 7he device has already been tested, and objections were found on the ground that the metallic cases were not water proof. Improvements have lieen made, and it Is believed that the objections have been overcome. The asos are so constructed tlmt they may bo removed from the ambulances and their contents boated over a camp lire. Poor King Peter. Who Is It in the palace sits.
