ON ADVICE WITH RESERVATIONS Town or City Ordnances Void That Are Broader in Scope Than Arw the Statutes of the State. S. M. Wolfe, attorney general, dressed a letter to Horace Harby of Sumter, emphasizing that where there was a conflict between city ordiances and the State statute relative to the sale of extracts and o^ier compounds used as intoxications, the State law takes precedence. Mr. Harby Is city recorder in Sumter. The letter follows: While it does not come within the sphere of the duties of this office to advise other than State officials, and while at all times it is my personal desire to render such courtesies to citizens generally as may be consist ent with the best policy of my admin istration, I* believe that in instances such as this, there need be no occasion for embarrassment and with the dis tinct reservation that such advice as may be given is without prejudice to either side, .and. offered for what it, may be worth, I take pleasure in call ing your attention to the proviso in Section 2994, Volume I, of the Code of 1912, in reference to city ordinances. In the case of Newton vs. Belzer, 143 Mass. 598, reported in 10 page 464, and in the case of Common wealth vs. Roy. 140 MaSi. 432. report ed in 4 N. E., page S1'4. the court held that “if an ordinance is broader than the statute, it is void.” Suppose we take for illustration the socalled “quart* a month” law. which' does not require a physician’s certifi cate, although certain judges of pro bate require this of their own initia tive. Suppose an ordinance were to' embody this sectiqn of the statute and exceed its requirements by stipulating that the physician’s certificate must be produced before being granted the permit, it is respectfully submitted that this portion of the ordinance would be of no effect, inasmuch as it superseded the State law, and I take the same position relative to your so- called “ordiance” pertaining to ex tracts. Increased Rates in Effect Increased schedules of rates for tel ephones in South Carolina are in ef fect. During the morning the railroad commission was considerably agitated by calls from subscribers, making in quiry as to procedure while the sched ule was being protested. In the after noon a statement was issued, signed by Frank W. Shealy, chairman, in which it was emphasized that the commission had acted in issuing a per emptory order against the increase and that further action would have to come from the office of the attorney, general. Soldiers Want Jobs. Brass bands, free meals and recep tions are right and proper, but there must be with the welcome the offer of a suitable job to every man in uni form who needs one,” says Col. Ar thur JKooda^asalatant to Secretary of War Baker, in a statement sent to John L. Davis, federal director United States employment service, Columbia. Mr. Davis received from Franklin K. Lane, seeretaiy of the lutertof, and South Carolina commission had not Col. Arthur Woods of the war depart ment, statements relative to the ob servance of Sunday, May 4. as “em ployment Sunday.” Mr. Lane in his statement says: “The observance of Sunday. May 4, as ‘Employment Sunday* offers a fitting opportunity to the millions of church members of this country to demon strate their realization of our national responsibility to the soldiers, sailors and war workers, who made victory possible. By assisting the United States employment service and its bu reau for returning soldiers and sailors you are doing, in fact, the work of tbs Lord.” Delegation to New Orleans. A statement issued by the South Carolina Cotton Association says that the South Carolina delegation to the Southern cotton convention to be held at New Orleans on May 14, 15 and 16 will leave Columbia on the aftenioon of May 12. The delegates from South Carolina are expected to go in a body. They will arrive in Iba night r>f May 13 New Orleans The delegation from South Carolina will be composed of Governor Cooper, Lieutenant Governor Liles of Orange burg, Commissioner of Agriculture B. •Harris, J. H. Claffy of Orangeburg. J. Skottowe Wannamker of St. Matthe»ws, T. P. Cothran of Greenville, W. L. ■Gray of barrens; *W-r-Wr-LoHy of Clom son College, B. F. McLeod of Charles ton. John T. Mackey of Camden, Paul Sanders of Ritter, William Gifford of Gifford, R. G. Rhett of Charleston, L. D. Jennings of Sumter, Ira B. Dunlap of Rock Hill, Dougless McIntyre of Marion, T. G. McLeod of Bishopvtlls, H. E. Montgomery of Kingstree, B. H. Moss of Orangeburg, A. M. Benbow of Bamberg and C. E. Summers of New berry. It is expected that all of the members of the delegation will attend. “The farmers, merchants, bankers and business men are continuing to stand together,” says the statement. "Desperate efforts have been made to separate their ranks, but all of them have proved unavailing. Our ranks present a solid front. A complete vic tory is absolutely certain. . "During the last few days we have received bulletins from every state in the cotton belt. All of them are of a most encouraging nature. The presi dent of the Louisiana organization re ports that the reduction of cotton acreage in that state totals 32 per cent. All of the other states report a heavy redtfgfrion,—Texas, the biggest state in the cotton belt, is assured of a re duction of ever 30 per cent.” Cable From the President. Direct to South Carolinians r from Woodrow Wilson, president of the l T nlted States, in Paris, came a cable gram bearing one word: VCongratu- lations.” A few days ago—Monday, to be exact —Miss Jean Adger Flinn. publicity eh&irmaiKOf the South Carolina Wo man’s Liberty Loan Committee, sent to the president this message: “South Carolina leads fifth federal reserve district to organization. Pledge continued support." Of sufficient importance did the president consider this information to take the time from the multitude of matters which are pressing him over there to send a prompt word to the woman’s committee, and through them, of course to the Victory bond sellers and the Victory bond buyers of this state. The message was read to the audi ence at the Columbia theater and re ceived with enthusiastic applause. Ihis one word from Woodrow Wilson in Paris will doubtless furnish no lit tle inspiration In putting over this state’s quota hi the Victory loan. South Carolina is expected to invest $24:948,000 in these bonds; Richland county is expected to invest $3,507,400. "The barrage is down—let’s drive." To Resist Raise in Rates. The South Carolina railroad commis sion will not permit an increase in the rates on local telephones by the Southern Bell Telephone ft Telegraph Company without a contest, stated Frank W. Shealy, chairman. A press dispatch printed recently ftn- nsunced that the Southern Bell Tele phone ft Telegraph Company had filed with the Georgia railroad commission a revised schedule of rates, giving the company about a 13 per cent increase in telephone rates on business and resident telephones. Although the dispatch said that the schedule had %een filed in eight other Southern states and in Indiana and Illinois, the ro celved Its copy. Fifty-Five to Graduate.
