Failure To use The Ulani Hequest
Hook.? Slate hoard
Will Push Resolution
Recently Adopted
?Tho Law.
Columbia liccoid.
The grand jury of Clarendon
County l> ?s presented a dispenser
at that place for failure to use tho
request books as required b> law.
This action was taken yesterday
although nothing bus been done
as yet, it is expected thut a caso
will bo made out against the dispenser,
whose name is N. B. .Mat
mews.
This staud taken by tho grand
jury is heartily upheld by the
members of the state board of
directors, who some time back
passed very strong resolutions on
the subject and notified every dispenser
of tho lav. It is admitted
to bo almost impossible in a city
tho size of Columbia or Charleston,
especially on bu^y days,
whore, if the hooks were tided out
oacti time, there would be a great
many who would get thuii supplies,
but in tho smaller towns the
members of the board say they
see absolutely no excuse for
this failure to observe the law.
Just what action will ne taken by
the county hoard of that couuty
is not known, but it is thought
that they will tie communicated
with by the slate board at once'.
rill. I
ine :uw on the subject says:
"Section 566. Before selling
or delivering any intoxicating
I iquoi s to any person a request
must be presented to the county
dispenser, printed or written in
ink, dated of the true date, stilting
that bo or she was of age and
the residence of the signer, for
whom or whose use it is required,
tho quantity and kind required
and his or her true name; ami
the request shall tie siguod by the
applicant in his own true name
and signature attested by the
county dispenser or clerk who
receives and tiles tho requests.
But the requests shall tie refused
if the county dispenser filling It
personally knowa tho person applying
is a minor, that he is intoxicated,
or tiial be is in the habit
of using intoxicating liquors to
an excess; or if the applicant is
not so personally known to said
count) dispenser, before filling
said order or delivering said liquor
he shall require the statement of
a reliable and trustworthy person
of good Character and habits,
known personally to blip, that
tho applicant is not a minor and
is not in the habit of using intoxicating
liquors to excess."

ing China's boycott.
" ?"i
Special to Greenville News.
Washington, D. C., June S.? ^
The State department frankly dis- .
coinages any further agitation in
. the South and elsewhere on the ^
question of the threatened boycott
n 1 w i
it by China of American cotton
goods. It is realized that the w
a **
matter is of deep concern to the
a cotton mill industry of tho South,
^ but right now agitation would bo vn
n the worst thing that could hap-' f0,
g Pcn- foi
1 had an important talk today
with Acting Secretary Looiuis, of f0
( the State Department, and spoke an
to him about tho contemplated tjv
. conference here next Monday of q
cotton mill oresidents nml
ml
mill officials of the South, follow- ta]
v ed by a call upon the president to nc
urge his aid in keeping the friend- cx
ly feeling of China so far as it q
e pertains to cotton goods. Mr fu
k Loomis unhesitatingly stated that js
n he believed the matter would ad- js
18 just itself and that lie regarded
r" any further agitation as unwise. co
" He thought it would be a good gr
plan for the Southern cotton men as
to wait until they were hurt before t|c
n they began to made plans for re W(
lief. I am not at liberty to con- gc
Cl tinuo a quotation of the views of fai
? Mr Loomis, but I can say that Mr pC
ls Loomis has had several conferen- sn
ccs with Sir Chentung Liang ^
Cheng, the Chinese minister, and ^
nt that he believes the Chinese au- a j
. tliorities will advise against furth- to
^ er efforts in that country to retal- fa)
t iatc commercially upon the United
r Stales because of our exclusion gC
e laws, leaving to the sense of rght CV(
= of the United States the question ex(
. of doing what is fair by the Chi- j^y
_ ncse as soon as this can be done. a j
There is no sheilding of the
j fact that the Chinese government j)Q]
j realizes that it has an immense rjt
club in its hands with which to
1 retaliate against the United
i States and that if it should desire j
f to show venom it could proceed kid

t State Department officials un- p>(1

j cotton goods, of which she pur- an

- little blame could be attached
1 under the circnmstunces in the
' minds of fairly disposed men here
j or elsewhere. It is realized, jn
8 though, that at the present timo co
r the politic^ of this country oppose Oi
n a relaxation of the exclusion laws
~ and that it will take a mighty firm \
' administration that will defy po- a(l

ke the place of the disappearing]^,,.
gro. un tlie Pacific coast the ^
perience has been that the (,
linaman is an excellent and faith jn ^

also intelligent. The argument y()|
advanced that he would make

uld get, far better than the no- j(lir^
o, and that he would work for 11
little money. The only objec- t..,
>n lie might make, and that ,
mid be serious, would be to the ^
>uthcrn system of working a ^ r
m on shares. They would cx3
par
ct weekly wages, however
lall, and would be content with j
is. If the Chinaman, therefore, ^ ^
ould be allowed to go South as )M)(|

change the existing system of

Of course the South can not
t the Chinaman as a laborer,
