WHO OHFVS TI1F. LAW.* How Many Krall?? That the Possession Of Liquor Kvcn for Personal l'se Is Contrary to Law? May i man (or woman) living In a S. uth Carolina county which la with? out dispensaries have In possession a gallon, pint, or Kill of whiskey or other Intoxicant without violating the pro? vision* of the criminal code and sub luting himself (or herself) to a fine and Imprisonment or both?the penal? ty for a second offense being Imprison? ment without alternat've? Good law? yers and perhaps Judges are answer? ing the question '?no," but It Is only during the last few days that the peo? ple seem to be awakening to this dras* t I construction of the law. There are those who hold that the Lexington or Sumter or Bamberg lady who haa "Ir possession'* a quart of cooking sherry is no less amenable to prosecution und punishment than Is a "blind tiger." In othfer words, the former dispen? sary acts were aimed at the manufac? ture and sale of intoxicants and not at having them In possession. The act passed at the last session of the general assembly and approved March 2. l?Oft. after declaring alco? holic liquors "which If drunk to ex ceas will produce Intoxication" to be "against the morals, good health and safety of the State" proceeds to say "That It shall be unlawful for any person, firm, corporation or assocla tlon within this State to manufacture * i! barter, exchange, receive, give awrty to induce trade, deliver, store, keep Iti possession In this State, fur? nish at public places or otherwise dis? pose of any malt, vinous, fermented, brewed or other liquors and bever? age*, or any compound or mixture thereof which contains alcohol and ts used as a beverage, and which if drunk to excess will produce intoxica? tion, except as hereinafter provided." In Ute act It does not appear to be thereinafter "provided" that any per? son may "keep In possession in this Stats" one drop of any alcoholic liquor of a nature to "make drunk come" when Imbibed to excess, except in counties having dispensaries. The penalty for violation of the act contained In section 11 and declaring violation a mlsdemesnor Is a fine of from flOO to $500 or Imprisonment at bard labor of from three to 12 months and for any second or subse quenf offenss, upon conviction, im? prisonment of from one to five yam at hard labor without any alternative tine / * a picnic at Zarllne in Andcrion C?unty'?. few days ago Meiers. J. R Hi.ike of Greenwood and Legislator Josh Ashley among others were speakers.

Siberia Drug More. Brisbane Answered Harvey. At a dinner given some time ago in honor of Ix>rd Northciiffe, proprietor of the London Times, Mr. Arthur Brisbane responded to a toast. Th\k versatile fashioner of the popular ed? itorial had sat quietly for some time listening to a corporation lawyer who adv'sed his hearers to "beware of the man who expresses sympathy for the poor," and to Colonel George Harvey, who stated a few words of the evils of socialism and the blessings of wealth. When Mr. Brisbane was In? troduced he proceeded In his short, snappy sentences to give his hearers as straight a talk as they ever listened to In their lives. He evidently felt It his duty at the Norcliffe dinner to tell his self-satisfied and success? ful audience that the great common people, of which he Is the self-ap? pointed spokesman, really, exists, Mr. Brisbane said in part: "This Is a fine gathering of power? ful men., big fortunes, and great rep? utations. I want to say something for the men that never had a milion dollars, never got on the payroll ? of a millionaire. "I don't want Northciiffe to go back to England believing that a man without a million in this country mlght as well hide under the table or Jump off the dock. "The real American nation, its real resources, its real ability, are hidden among those unknown seventy-nine millions that never go to Delmonl co's; most of whom know as little about terrapin as about bird's nest soup. "Mr. Harvey says very truly, "The great reward must go to the man of great ability." True. But what is the great reward, and what do you call great ability? "If I scatter money In the street and a thousand eager men dive to get It I am holding up one kind of a re? ward and I call forth one kind of ability. "But If the child is in danger of its life, and a man risks his life to save it, that situation calls out a different kind of ability, and reveals a man who asks for a higher reward than cash. "We are paying too much attention here to the men that scramble for pennies, for dollars and for millions. They are able, strong men, but they are not the American nation, nor the best men In It. "Colonel Harvey says that if you tak* ten thotlsnnd men out of this country?the ablest ten thousand? the country will fall to pieces. Hi might a-< w.dl say that if you take ten apples off a tree,_jjUa -k#???r?wlll with? er and fall. Not a bit ol It. S*on men with money and power are the pretty shiny apples on the tree.

"And lu this nation the real pow ??r. the root of the nation, Is the mass of people?too often, like the tree'r roots, hidden below In the dark and eola. But from those roots, from the peop!e. comes all the real power.

A man's liking for any business is more or less controlled by the finan? cial return from the same. This is especially true of the sheep-breeding business. From my own experience I wish to say that if good judgment is , Used at the beginning, no class of farm animals will return as great profits on the investment as will sheep. In starting a flock of sheep some advise the purchase of pure-bred ani? mals, sueh as a bunch of ewe lambs. This means a heavy outlay at the be? ginning with not much Income dur? ing the first year. A ewe should be two yea*s old before she drops her first lamb, thus the only source of Income from the ewe lamb Is her wool clip, which should pay for her keep. For the man who has had no ex? perience in the raising of sheep and wishes to start a flock, I believe a much more profitable and economi? cal method would be to purchase the so-called old ewes which have been discarded from the flocks of sheep? men. When a ewe has reached the age of five years many people con? sider her to be old and undesirable. Such a ewe, if a good breeder, will not appear so nice to the eye of the visitor as the ewe of two or three years of age. Still if her udder is good, there is no reason why she should not be profitable from a breeding standpoint until she is eight or ten years old. She Is just the kind of an animal for the beginner in the sheep business to handle. During the months of July, August and September each year there are hun? dred of just such ewes sent to the markets, when they are a drug on the market. A ewe which has reared a good lamb or perhaps two lambs is always rather thin in flesh, and the butcher does not want her, except at a very low price. They can usually be pur? chased at from $3 to $5 per head at any of the leading live-stock mar? kets. In selecting such ewes get those which show good breeding and have good fleeces. It is well to have them dipped before leaving the yards; and (better still) after they arrive home, fts a safeguard against scab, vermin and other troubles. Having secured a flock of old ewes for a small amount of money, you ran now afford to spend some money In the purchase of a good sire. He cannot be too good from a mutton and wool-producing standpoint. It is not necessary to have all the fancy points of his breed, such as color markings, wooling of the head and legs and other fancy points. It Is very important, however, that he does have a good mutton form, a ;.;ood heavy fleece of wool, and u strong constitution, as indicated by width and depth of chest. He must oe right In than half the entire flock. The ewes should be well fed dur? ing the mating season, also during the winter months. The next fall some ulllng out should be done. Thost SWOS which are the oldest and least prolific should be separated from the rest of the flock and fattened for the market, to be sold in December or January, (not September, when the market is generally overstocked with UOh animals.) A number of the best ewe lambs should be selected to replace the old ewOS which have been discarded, In this way selecting the foundation for the future breeding flock. If this method is followed up, in a few years all of the old ewes will be replaced 1 y younger ones of better type and breeding. At the same time the flock will pay larger dividends on the cap? ital Invested than any other class of Btock on the farm. ?Your complexion as well as your t"mper Is rendered miserable by ? disordered liver.

Montreal, Sept. 2.?While it is true | that there is resentment In this coun- ! try over the new provisions of the Payne tariff bill affecting the' pulp and paper industry, it is felt both at Ottawa and Quebec that nothing can be gained by the imposition of export duties. The Federal govern? ment, it is officially announced, will not take any action of a retaliatory nature in this direction and any legis? lation it may enact will be directed rather to a final settlement rather than an aggravation of the difficul? ties at present In the way. It can be authoritatively announ? ced that the future action of the Quebec provincial government will be in line with the policy most accept? able to the Dominion as a whole rath? er than any calculated to meet only tho immediate situation as it Is found In the province of Quebec.
