r ? ' 1 Cciuntii iccoa. W ^VOL. XXXII. KIXGSTREE, SOUTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 13,1917. NO. 28 FATAL BLOW TO JOHN BARLEYCORN FEDERAL FOOD CONTROL ACT GOES INTO EFFECT AND STOPS ITS MANUFACTURE. At 11 o'clock last Wednesday night whiskey manufacture ceased in the Unitod States under the provisions of the food control law and thp millions of bushels of grain here tofore used in making that form of drink will be diverted to food. Importation of whiskey also stopped. Just how much grain will be added to the food supplies as a result is not determinable but experts say ^ about 100,000.000 bushels are used by the distilleries each year, of which about 40.000,000 bushels are M used in whiskey manufacture. Customs officials throughout the country will now seize all importations of spiritous liquors reaching the United States. Officers of the internal revenue bureau throughout the country will see that distilleries make no more whiskey. Distillers may continue manufacturing alcohol for commercial pur poses and many of them have arranged for this work, others turning their distilleries into manufacturing plants for yeast, vinegar and by-products. Stocks of whiskey in the country undoubtedly are larger than they ever have been, because of active preparation by distillers and dealers in anticipation of the law. Distillers have run at utmost capacity and imports have been larger than ever. Officials estimate the quantity of L- ^ whiskey in bond in warehouses to be AAA AAA ^ about iyu.uuu.uuu ^anous. oiu?TPL= not in bond will bring the quantity on hand in the country up to about 230,000,000 gallons. The annual production of whiskey has been about 116,000,000 gallons. Peoria, 111, will feel the effects of the law more forcibly perhaps than any other place since it is conceded to be the whiskey making center of the world. Williamsburg Ladies Win Scbolarbhips.

Washington, September 12:?The liberty motor, the airplane engine, upon which the United States is re; lying to establish definite air suprem-1 [ acy over the Germans over the battlefields of France, has passed its i ; final test and is a complete and gratifying success, Secretary Baker accounced today. Secretary Baker's statement in part follows: , "The United States aviation engine has passed its final tests. They were successful and gratifying. The new motor, designated by the signal 44 ; service as the Liberty motor," is ! the main reliance of the United States in the rapid production in large numbers of high powered battle planes for service in the war.

The total loss is estimated at about $25,000, all parties,partially covered by in surance. Locals and Personals from Mouzons.
