SOUTH (lllll POINTERS The State Holds That Liquors Cannot Be Hauled in Wagons. BIBLE IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Intensive F??rmlng-->?orloii tines to Washing ton?-Two Suicides---Illr?l Season On'-Fotnto Crop Short, There will doubtless he moro litigation growing out of the enforcement of the dispeusory law as the State sees its requirements. The latest phaso of the enforcement of the liquor law camo to light last week when it became known that the State had taken the position that original packages cannot behaulod into tlio State in wagons. The State claims that liquor can onlj* bo brought in by common carriers ami that wagons are not common carriers. 11 is hoKl th at this is what .Tudgo Simontou has decided iu his ' (). P. " docrees. The case in point comes up from Laurons county and the agent of E. J. O'Connor of Augusta is the party immediately concerned. Uovernor Ellerbeo iu soiuo way got information that the agent had sent wagons to Augusta *o haul in his supply of liquors, llo wired tho sheriff to keep on tlie lookout for tho wagons on their return and seize the whole concern, arresting the drivers. Ciovernot Ellerbo got tho following message from Laureus Oov. \V. II. I llert I have i ! I .ur wagoLS and tea:ns loaded with li-pc s >rL'inal j aokages?sent l-v K. J. O'Connor t i t at Laureus. Must 1 hold teams uml li , i r Answer. O. r. SrLLivAM, Deputy sheriff. Ciovernot Ellerbe wired hack that the liquor aud teams be held and tho drivers arrested. The teams are to bo advertised and sold in Laurens and the liquor is to be sent to Columbia to tho dispensary. No do'.ibt O'C'ounor or his ageut will bring a easo in the United States Court to tost the mutter. Since tho "O. P." decisions mauy stores have been supplied in this way out of Augusta, and tho issuo will be well worth testing. A special from Union to tho News r.nil Courier savs: Tho Junior Order of American Mechuuios has made rapid growth in this town during tho lust three month.-, tiftv new members having been initiated during this time. Onu of tho most red-hot discussions between two ministers of tho gospel oyer beard on tho public streets of I'nion took piece in frout of tho post iliico on Mam street.

Tho elections in tho United States continue to overshadow nil tho other news in the English newspapers. Tho Sun, of Loudon, of which newspaper Harry Marks has editorial control, says: " 'The dog returned to his vomit' is the text wo recommend pious New York to liaitg on parlor walls.

I ho Evening News remarks; "t'rokor has brought off his tip and lias won the race, showing that he is more to bo toured in his naturul arena of i olitics than on the race course. The population of tho second greatest city in tho world has elected its ruler, and tho morning after election the problems occupying his mind did not relate to tho government of the city, but to squaring and regarding his supporters. The experiment of democracy us seen in full growth in New York seems to liavo its drawbacks as well as its p i vantages.

A warm mash is certainly very palatable, and in our experience, a compound of two-thirds 'J wheat bran to one third meal, wet | with skimmed milk and fed in the (| morning, warm, has an egg-producing u effect. This is much better than clear meal, and we have never noticed any ? ill effects. The bran does not tend to " fat, and the milk is even better than s' meat in the production of eggs, is Fowls may eat too much meat for '3 health, but milk they may drink ad libitum, and those who have it cannot 11 put it to more profitable use than making soft food for poultry.?The Fancier. I- Bleed* May Itun Together. e When the hatehiug season ends the different breeds may run together 111 ' one tloek, says American Poultry '? Keeper. It would be an advantage to have no males with them, but it will 7" not injure the Hook should the males q and hens be of different breeds. Some breeders contend that when a hen is kept with a male of n different breed , her progeny will never again be up to 1 standard requirements in points, but we have never known any injurious results from such a course if the el breeds are separated two months beg fore the eggs are to he u?ed. Wo have H known of the .separation of the breeds to occur only ten days before using 13 the eggs, and in the experiments made ' we found the influence of the male to extend only fivo days. Wead\ise more 10 time, how ever, and suggest t w o months in order to be sure that no mistake will occur. ft is expensive to keep r_ the breeds separated in summer. More 0 fences are required, and frequently !- the separation must be accomplished l- by confining the hens. We have always allowed all of the hens to run d together after the hatching season is i- ox er, and ha ve done so for thirty years h with no injurious effects resulting therefrom so far as the purity of the breeds is concerned.
