The State Holds That Liquors Cannot
Be Hauled in Wagons.
BIBLE IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

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. A crowd soon
collected, and, though silent spectators
lit til st. tll?*V 1 tl t.? tnl^A unrt in t\\a
discussion ns it waxed w arm. Others
?cre attracted, and in a short while
t!:<? sidewalk was crowded.
I Jot li of theso ministers are Ba|<tist,
one of them is a member of tho Order
and the other is not, aud it was a request
from one to tlie other to join,
which brought on the discussion. I he
outside minister gave as his reason for
qot joining that he did not believe in
the itibi?> in the public school, ns he
did not believe that tt could be rend
there without sceUruanisni. He thought
that if the Catholics could gain a ma
jority they had a ii_'ht toiulo us. i he
th< i minister expiaiued that the
lusors t!i 1 not wish sectarianism

IIow They Consider the Result of the
Late Election.
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. The chief
city of a great people must see its municipal
ollices tilled with men who

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.

O Soft Foo<1.
d It has been objeeti to soft food for
i- poultry that it has a tendency to make
d soft or shelless eggs. 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.

!- the separation must be accomplished
l- by confining the hens. We have

therefrom so far as the purity of the
