State art' without liquor. | |t has Ihh'H felt for Home years that I it was iierfectly legitimate for dubs, ^ Uwt Is bona fWo clubs, to have lock L trs In whi< h a member could store | Jy liquor which he might care to J have. The member had his locker ? iid carried a key to It and bought | his own liquor or l,?ccr as the cttHfl | ^ight he, brought It to the' <;l<)h and k jilnml H ?'? ,J,rt looker. The club l' porters served drinks tj> ? members from their Individual lookers and all It thuHc clubs which observed this prae ? jj<r never sobl liquor across the coun | tcr !"i<j only club membra cotttd f jot th? benefit of the lockers. Thus yit. ostein grew over the State, en. peetAllv in the larger cities where the t leading business and fn4>fesslonel hien formed lite club memberHhlp.' Hut under th6 "Gnllon-a-mouth" ; law there Is a special provision pre KiiilnK' the storing of liquor* in clubs > and it whs because of this fact that t ft? flubs of Columbia, the Mfitiopoli r tan, Columbia, tho Elks aud the L JtidKcwood country club this week I discontinued the permission to store liquid refreshment# in Individual lock-' [ ers and the clul>s are now "dry" i r Nothing but soft drinks,1' such as | lemonade, can. now' be had h\ the I clubs mentioned. They took the ac tii 'ii in renovating the lockers because | these dubs will do nothing which is I unlawful for their meinltership Is t made up of men who. are law-abiding I ?nd the leaders of the community in I all lines of business. And it is worthy [ of note that probably the overwhelm ing majority of tho membership of these clubs voted for Gov, Manning and they are going to back up every itcp lie tnkes for law enforcement. Reports from Spartanburg, Green j; fille and Sumter say that the clubs have removed all intoxicants and have none "dry." Similar action has' \ hoen taken, it is reported, by the locker clubs in practically all the oth er towns in the State.-' '/ There lias hoen no report from the L dubs in Charleston bujt it Is pre wmcd that tliey will follow suit and . remove ;ill intoxicants. It is shown that the administration confidently expects this action. It is stated that several of the al leged "blind tigers" In Columbia ?'<d wtih-sti. cnifwpy shrdlu. .cmfwypullu eisewliere made a pretense of follow ing the locker system and had mem bership eards but -it is claimed that " f; these eoctlled "clubs" have no bona flde membet*Mi?. However. they are jfotng ttrtutve to go ouVof Tmsfneaa for the "lid" Is going on noi only in Columbia hut throughout tlio Slate, tiov. Manning is determined to stamp ?ml nil tuid every form of violation of tho now ylgld liquor laws of South Carolina. Tlu* governor has said ;hat he \v?? not responsible for thu |uii* Ham* of the law hut h.? Is ro-qcnslolo for lt.M enforcement ;unl he proposes to do his duty w M i ait four and with out favor, llo >s going to enfort-e the laws Impartially *%K?1 1 1???< the villi w full whore they iihj " It Is exacted that where tho may ors of tho oltles fall to do their duty Hptlsfaetorlly to tho governor In tho matter of law enforcement he will Hhmmons tho sheriffs of the couu ' ties and put tho matter up to them. It is helloved that In tho ease of Charleston and Columbia a certain time will ho given for tho local olll elals to enforeo the lliws, and In the event they fall the governor will put the nuutor up to the sheriffs, and If they full he will very probably remove them and put men In their plaees who will enforce the laws. 'I his is his announced intention, it is known. The governor will have noth ing further to say for publication bv( r his plaits for law enforcement but II Is known that he Is bonding his energies to closing up the Illegal liquor dealers throughout the slate, and is holding the sheriffs , especial ly accountable for results. .Inst what action he will take In Charleston Is m'?t known hut there Is a general Im pression In well Informed circles that the governor is ready to move swift ly 111 the matter and that his next ?nuiounc.'inent Mill be through re sults. With the situation in Charleston and Columbia, the trouble In Barn well where all the dispensaries have been closed indefinitely by the gov ernor and where ti?e grand Jury has employed a firm of expert accountants tci check the books <.f th?\ old dlsicii sary board, and the Kerahavl county matter, the governor having summon ed Sheriff W. AY. Huckabee to show cause before him on March 30 for Q.1-? leged failure to enforce the laws a gainst liquor selling, the hands of thp; governor are full. However he Is keep ing a close eye on every county and is in constant touch with the sheriffs and other law enforcement officers j throughout the state. In several of the counties, notably ; in Saluda and Berkeley, the sheriff held i eonforemie with all of the ina* j gist rales over efforts to tetfltpp out the blind tigers and In- Berkeley county certain territory was ; as- _ signed t>? each one to look after and in this way a close watch can be kept and It Is harcj, for the "tigers" to break through such a cordon or to run such n blockade. Sheriff J. H. Liglitsey of Hampton county who Is making a determined effort to Stamp out illicit dealers under his jurisdiction favors, the plan of hav ing a convention of magistrates and may call one of 'hi* county.

The British bat tlesdilps Irrlsistible and Ocean and the French battleship Bouvet were blown up by floating mines while engaged with the remainder of the allied licet in attacking the forTs In the narrows of the Dardanelles Thursday. ? Virtually all the crews of the, two i British ships were saved, having been transferred to other ships, under a hot lire, 'but anlnternal explosion took place on board the Bouvet after she had foul ed the mine and most of her crew was lost- . The Bouver. sunk three minuted after she bit the mine. . , t 4 The waters in which the' ships werd lost had been swept of. mines but tb4 British admirality asserts that the Turks and Germans set floating con*,| tftlhers~6f explosives adrift,, and thesd were carrie<l down by the current pn to the allied ship* gathered Inside th$ entrance ofthe straits. All the ships sunk wefe old ones.. The Bouvet was built nearly 20 years ago and the Ocean and Irrisistible in 1808. They were useful, however, for , the work in which they were engaged in the Dardanelles. The sunken Bri tish ships are being replaced by the battleships Queeu and Implacable, ves sel A of a similar type. They are sajd to have started some time ago in anti cipation of Just such, losses as have ,now occurred.. Two other ships, the British battle cruiser Inflexible and the tfrench battleship Gaulois, were hit by shells and damaged. . British casuali tles, according to the British official report, "were not heavy considering the I scale of operations." . ? , ? The damage done to the Turkish forts by tho heavy bombardment has] nqt been ascertained. It is said, that operations against them are continu ing. The forts attacked are those on cach side of Kephea bay and on Kephez point outside th? narrows and those j "on Kalidbahr ami Chanak Jn .the nar rows. , The Kephez forts replied strongly J when the- battleships advanced up the Dardanelles and all the ships were hit. ft ,1s asserted that these forts finally were silenced" and a bombardment of those in .the narrows was under way when the three battleafilps hit the mines. The blowing up of the ships did not cause a cessation of the fight ing, which continued until darkness In tervened. It is understood the engage ment was resumed today.
