I A Visit From Col. (From The 'Pickens Sentinel.) "Well," remarked the eminent Col onel J. Wallington 'Potts, as he wiped the mud off of -his shoes on our im ported Brussels carpet, eased himself Into that 'handsome chair reserved for the most distinguished visitors only, leaned back and lighted one of our $1.25 gold-lined ilavanas, "I see they are going to send all the likker mak ers, sellers and drinlkers to Jail, and not let them Iimy out. What do you think of it?" Well," We replied, "We're been so busy tryling to make enough coin to pay our past due taxes that we haven't had time to think about it. What (10 you think about ito "I think," said the Colonel as he illied the air full of high priced fra granee, "it's a daimna poor plan. These bere luke-warn prohibitionists are too kind-hearted; they are too broad-mind ed and easy; they take halfway meas ures and don't zo far enouagh. I have thought this thing over and have evolv ed an ideal plan of settling a per:'lex Ing problem. No man who makes Ilk ker., sells likker, totes likker, drinks likker, or who looks like he wants a (1rink of thle (almnable delight of the devil should be allowed to breathe the sacred air of this religious; nation. le should be shot and shot forthwith." "But, Colonel-" "llon't 'but' me," retorted J. Wall ington, digging the point of our $47.80 fountain pen into the table; "I know what you are 'going to say; but I tell you I've got it all figured out and my plan will work. It will empty our jails, asylums, poor houses and re formatories, reduce our court expelses to nothing, and fill our public treas ury so full of money that we will hav( to find new ways to spend it. It wil lengthen the lives of our people t< such an extent tlat 'when a person die, under 200 years of age the papers wil refer to It as an 'unt-imely death.'

"I know you are thinking that no jury would condenL to death a per son found with a small amount of lik ker for his own use, -but right here is where one of the beauties of my thor oughly through-out plan comes in. One of the weak points in this other pro Posed plan is that few juries would senu to the chaingang an otherwise half-decent citizen just becauso he hart a small phial of the essence of home made fertilizer on his hip. Ulnder my plan the culprit Would never get ol a jury. Trials are a useless expense any-way, and under the jury system some guilty devil might escape his just deserts. A jury might argue that any -body who drinks the kind made these days ought to be in the asylum instead of on tho chaingang. "All officers being the very high lets type of citizenship, as you well know, under my plan they would be emnipowered to shoot, or otherwise exe cute, "my person found or suspected of making, selling, toting, drinking, or asking about the aforesaid damnable delight of the devil, commonly called likker.

Put this plan to working and we will clean out all I the uidesirable trash and us better class of people will have some peace - and a chance to maintain our dignity. - What do you think of it?" t "Why, Colonel," we replied, "you - know we couldn't have anly such law _ REE Out All mBargain I kinds of cloth 1 lot C uicek.
