KEEP ARMY IN MEXICO FUXSTOX'S FLAX FOR RKDISPOSI-: . TIOX OF TROOPS. Will Virtually Police Area Where Carranzistas Have Reen Unable to Give Protection. ? Washington, April 23.?Behind a formal announcement today that President Wilson had approved a plan for redisposition of the American troops in Mexico, there was a plain intimation tonight that the Wash- , ington government had determined to maintain a military status quo beyond the border until the Mexican de facto government had demonstrated its ability to capture or crush ViMa and his adherents, and prevent repetitions of the Columbus raid. In the interim it is understood the American troops will be so placed as ' to safeguard the border towns by virtually policing the area south of the line where Gen. Carranza has been heretofore unable to check bandit operations. ' Secretary Baker announced the approval of the redisposition plan, after consulting with the president today over a joint report submitted by Major Gen. Funston and Major Gen. Scott, chief of staff, in conference on ( -v4; \ the border. The plan was proposed hy Gen. Funston and concurred ip by Gen. Scott. The secretary announced the administration's decision as fol"lows: Purpose of Redisposition. "Gen. Funston has recommended a wuUcnneiimn nf the forces in Mexico for the purpose of recuperation and opportunity for further cooperation j with the forces of the de facto govpl&Y ernment of Mexico. The recommendation has been approved and its - execution left to his discretion." Later the secretary dictated the l> following: "The statement I have made indicates nothing whatever on the subject of when the American troops will v be withdrawn from Mexico. The gp:. whole subject of withdrawal of" the forces is under negotiation by the State department." j Irish Repartee. Sir Robert Finlay, M. P., lawyer, j has been speaking vigorously in the house of commons on the advisability Ig of making food contraband as well as articles of war, as far as Germany is IltLr-, concerned, according to the Boston Globe. Sir Robert was once in Ireland |pp when he met an Irish drover with a fe number of cattle going along a coun*ry road. "Where are you going to?" - he inquired of the son of Erin. ] "T/v \K7qtorfnlPair rnnr ViAnnr " I . XV " UbVi 1U1U x IU1 , JWUl "W?u? "Indeed? And how much do you < teijH expect to get for the animals?" ask- 'j ed Sir Robert. < "Sure, an' if I get eight pounds : || each I shall not do badly," answered j Pat.. i "Ah, that's a sample of your coun- j M- try," said Sir Robert. "Now, if you would take them "to England you ! ? would average 14 pounds each." ; The Irishman, knowing full well : * that he could not afford the journey i || to England, and feeling a trifle hurt i at the implied poverty of his native land, looked indignant for a moment, < t . .. hut suddenly his face brightened. '< "Just so, yer honor," he retorted, i "and if yez was to take the Lakes of < Killarnev to purgatory yez would get fc:{>' a guinea a drop for'them." i |V SARTORIAL BARBARITIES. J Man Was Never More Uncomfortably Clothed Than at Present. Having advised men to throw away - their hats to save their hair, and discard tight or stiff collars for reasons , r. as obvious as various, we are asked, '" a how far is the campaign for men's , sartorial relief going? What next? * There are a number of things men would do well to discard for health's and comfort's and Convenience's sake. :?.\1 I Cuffs, of course, should be thrown off with starched collars. Everybody agrees that stiff cuffsr whether de^ v' - .tachable or not, are a nuisance. They serve no purpose whatever except to give the wearer a conventional, "well-groomed" appearance. Soft ones, and many of us have already taken to them. Drotect the wrist ' from the coat sleeve (aye, why the coat sleeve?) and look just as well when you get used to them. But cuffs are minor nuisances compared to garters that bind the leg, and to suspenders and belts. If "union suits" serve as undergar ments, why not as outer ones? Union suits worn exteriorly would eliminate belt or suspenders and, what is almost as important?vests. Why wear a vest, anyhow? As well wear a corset, except that a corset has no pockets so far as our information goes. A hatless, collorless, cuffless, suspenderless, beltless man in a comfortable, loose union suit and sandals?sandals, either with or without socks?would, when the sight of him became familiar, "look" better than the curiously hatted and clothed man. / -V ^ . 'Jj *Ar ' ~ ' " NEW LIQUOR LAWS. rj Liles Measure Provides Chaingang Sentence.?Acts Are Explained. d There are three principal anti-liq- h uor hills passed by the 1916 legisla- j ture. One is known as the Liles bill j md provides a chaingang sentence for ii the person convicted of selling liq- p uors; this measure has been signed by the governor and is now in force; the second bill is Senator Carlisle's T two-quarts-a-month bill, which has v not been signed by Gov. Manning and ^ will not become effective until 20 days f after his signiture. The third is the ii measure by Senators Carlisle and p Johnstone for the purpose of validating the prohibition referendum election last September; this bill when T signed will go into effect at once. \ In lieu of the two quarts of spirit- ? uous liquors the consignee may pur- ti chase 60 pints of beer, which con- ]\ tains not more than five per cent, of ^ alcohol, in any one calendar month. _ "And it shall be unlawful to have such liquors and beverages except foi one's own personal use, or that of his immediate family, and then only at his usual place of residence," the bill provides. It is specifically provided that it shall be unlawful to store such liquors in any building in which is conducted a cafe, restaurant, club, social, club or "similar resort." The common carriers through which the liquors are transported are reauired to keep a correct record of L all consignees and file monthly a statement either with the judge of g probate or the clerk of court; in Richland county this report is given to the clerk of court. Peace officers ^ are given authority to examine the re- ^ cords in the office of the common car- ^ rier. v It is further provided that the pos- P session of any one person or more ^ than two quarts of liquors or the j "possession of any such liquors or beverages by any one person at any J place other than his or her usual residence," or the signing of another's name as a consignee shall be prima ? facie evidence of violation of the law. Any person, firm or corporation convicted of violating the two-quartsa-month bill must suffer punishment for first offence of a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $500, or imprisonment for not less than 30 days nor more than six months; and for fV?.-v eooATi/^ onrl flvorv cilhcPPI 11PT")t nf HiC O^vuiiu aim i/1 i/i j __ . fence a fine of not less than $100 nor more tfian $5,000 and imprisonment for not less than six months or more f than two years. Sacramental wines 1 are exempted. i Wholesale druggists are given the ^ right to sell to retail druggists and ] hospitals any quantity of pure alcohol ! for medicinal purposes only, provided that a monthly statement of such sales are filed with the clerk of C court. Before selling pure alcohol i for medicinal purposes, a retail drug- IJ ?ist must file a bond of $1,000 and Bill only those prescriptions made by a, regular practicing phycician of the State. Such prescription '.must be filled either on the day of or the day after it is issued by a physician and may not be filled in drug store in in which the physician is financially interested. Manfacturers of ginger-ale in purchasing pure alcohol must first Hie i bond of $1,000; such a product may not contain more than one-tenth of I one per cent, of alcohol. I The provision regarding the label- I linor cor>Violc pnnta.ininsr Iiminr was ^ ULL^ VI VUVliVAU .. ^ .. stricken out in free conference, jjj though the section passed through both houses. Time Table. A man asked the ticket agent when the first train left 'for Phila- I delphia. I "It was a good many years ago," I said the ticket man; "I can't just recollect the year." E Sentinel. I Tests the Wear of Cloth. A machine for testing the wearing quality of cloth has been produced in Bradford, England. It may be found of interest to American firms which manufacture, sell or use textile fab rics. Relative wearing qualities of II different pieces of cloth may be de- I termined by placing them in the ma- ~ chine and giving them a uniform number of rubs, perhaps two hundred each. This makes it possible to compare one kind of cloth with its imitation, or to compare samples of the same character from different mills. A piece of cloth is clamped in a rigid jaw and passes over a rubbins surface formed by dull blades set in a cylinder. This cylinder makes one revolution clockwise, then one in the opposite direction, and this is recorded by a counter as one rub. The other end of the cloth is clamped to " i rnlldP /-?n wHir>Vi ic nlaooH thp filiad a A V/U^i , vil ? AkIVil v*.w -i ? | . rant, from which any number of weights can be suspended, and thus put the cloth in tension. The ma- I chine can be driven by an electric | C motor. When the cloth is worn; I through the machine automatically I stops.?Commerce Report. t< NOTICE OF TOWN ELECTION. 'o the Citizens and Electors of th< Town of Bamberg, S.
