Washington, June 15.?Holding 'dkutit lhe Webb-Kenyon liquor law did ??t apply to interstate shipments of iitjaor designed for personal use, the Sfflpreme Court today overturned icfe* "conviction of the Adams Express Coewpany in Kentucky courts for itxBEnsporting liquor from Tennessee ?? jconfagnees in Whiteley County, Kj The court merely determined that law did not apply to shipments of ?&3?iS land. It did not pass on the ultisrR-af.* constitutionality of the law. The Adams Express Company was inflected, convicted and fined for tMtJi sporting liquor into the county in v-i?latIon of a State law which proSiiwted the introduction of liquor intec any section of the State that had & "dry."

The fly breeds principally in the manure of the stable and the privy, and in rotten carrion and other filth. Almost immediately after reaching maturity, the fly goes in search of food; attracted by ine odor from the dwelling, he goes there; on gaining an entrance into the house, he crawls over the food prepared for the table, samples it, and in payment leaves more or less or the matter in which he was bred upon the food, AND YOU EAT I?. It is a well established fact that the fly has carried and caused typhoid fever; now that disease is one due to a specific germ; so is diphthe ria, tubercuulosis, scarlet fever, whooping cough, etc. If the fly can carry the germs of typhoid fever, why cannot it carry any or all germ diseases, I say he can, and undoubtedly does. Now is it not better to protect your home from the nasty, disease breeding insects, than to allow your family to be exposed to the dangers of disease, (to say nothing of the filth the fly carries) by properly screening the entrances to the house, catching the flies that en ter, and preventing their entrance? Screens should be at every Window and door; common cotton mosquito netting will last one season if you cannot afford wire screens. A fly trap will to a very great extent prevent the entrance of the fly, and those that do gain an entrance, can be caught by placing sticky fly paper in the rooms. In Bank's Drug Store in Calhoun Falls, there is on exhibition a fly trap which anyone can make, and at very slight expense. The Clemson Agricultural Collegr, will send you circular 23 if you write for it. The circular gives you full directions on the matter of controlling the fly nuisance. Burnett's Flavorings A. M.

Liv-Ver-Lax is one of the most im- ^ portant medical discoveries of recent years. For a long time medical ex perts, realizing the harmful effects of calomel, have been striving- to find a 1 liver cleanser that would be just as effective as calomel, and yet be absolutely harmless in its action. Recently this remedy was actually put forth by L. K. Grigsby, in his Liv-Ver-Lax. i Liv-Ver-Lax is a harmless vegetable compound, designed solely for the treatment of liver complaints. The immediate favor it has met with in thousands of homes is proof positive of its real value. If you feel worn out, tongue coated, and skin sallow, don't delay until it becomes dangerous, nip the trouble in the bud with Liv-Ver-Lax. Insist on the genuine, bearing the signature and likeness of L. K. Grigsby, which is guaranteed to give satisfaction or money refunded. For sale 1 by any druggist. AMERICA ASKS JUSTICE I AT HANDS OF GERMANY I (Continued from page 1.) ment of the United States understands the explicit instructions issued on August 3, 1914, by the imperial German admiralty to its commanders p at sea to have recognized and embod ied, as do the naval codes of ali other nations, and upon it every traveler and seaman had a right to depend. It is upon this principle of j humanity as well as upon the law founded upon this principle that the y United States must stand. 0 "The government of the Uh'ted States is happy to observe that >oir ^ excellency's note closes with the int?mation that the imperial German c government is willing, now as befcie. q to accept the good offices of the Unit- g ed States in an attempt to come to an understanding with the government of Great Britain by which the ^ character and conditions of the war upon the sea may be changed. The government of the United States would consider it a privilege thus to c serve its friends and the world. It stands ready at any time to convey to either government any intimation f or suggestion the other may be will- ^ ing to have it convey and cordially j invites the imperial German government to make use of its services in ^ this way at its convenience. The t whole world is concerned in anything j, that may bring about even a partial j accommodation of interests or in any j, way mitigate the terrors of the pres- t ent distressing conflict. v Looks for Justice. "In the meantime,, whatever ar- v rangements may happily be made be- n tween the parties to the war and f whatever may in the opinion of the a imperial German government have J been the provocation or the circum- fc stantial justification for the past acts r of its commanders at sea, the government of the United States con- a fidently looks to see the justice and v Viiimanitv nf tHp crnvornrnerif of fiftr- n many vindicated in all oases where v Americans have been wronged or ( their rights a:? neutrals involved. d "The government of the United r States, therefore, earnestly and very I solemnly renews the representations s of its note transmitted to the imperi- i: al German government on the 15th s of May and relies on those represen- c tations upon the principles of human- c ity, the universally recognized under- t standings of international law, and li the ancient friendship of the German s nation. t' "The government of the United a States can no t admit that the promul- v gation of a war zone from which neu- t tral shins have been warned to keen f away may be made to operate as in r any degree an abbreviation of the fi rights either of American shipmas- h ters or of American citizens bound on lawful errands as passengers on merchant ships of belligerent nation- S ality. It does not understand the s imperial German government to tl question those rights. It understands o it, also, to acept as established be- ti yond question the principle that the c lives of non-combatants can not law- a fully 01 rightfully be put in jeopardy c by the capture or destruction of ir. s; unresisting merchantman, and to re- d cognize the obligation to take suffi- sj cient precaution to ascertain whether ii a cnQnftptorl mor/?Vior?+man yc in fr* of belligerent nationality or is in tl fact carrying contraband of war un- e der a neutral flag. The govern- w ment of the United States therefore e deems it reasonable to expect that the imperial German government will b adopt the measures necessary to put fi these principles into practice in res- d pect of the safeguarding of Ameri- si can lives ~nd American ships and h asks for assurances that this will be o: done. t< (Signed) "Robert Lansing, tl "Secretary of State ad Interim." it Buy Now Build Now 0 BE A HOME OWNER !

WHITE irst Honor Man, 'Fifty-seven, Fell Leading Regiment at Second Manassas.?Sister Presents Portrait to His Alma Mater. 'he State. Mrs. Nannie W. Wardlaw of Abbeille, has presented to the University f South Carolina a faithful and pirited life size portrait of her broker, William Henry White, first honr man of the class of 1857, who was aptain of Company K. Second South Carolina Rifles, and was killed in the econd battle of Manassas while in ommand of his regiment, all the egimental field officers and the capains senior to him having been killed r disabled. Killed at Twenty-five. Capt. White's brief but glorious areer?he was but 25 years of age /hen he fell in battle?is sketched n a letter of November 11, 1901, rom his brother, L. W. White, of Abbeville, to the late Prof. R. Means )avis of Columbia: "William Henry White, the first lonor man in the class of 1857 in he South Carolina college, was born n Abbeville, S. C., November 23, 636. Immediately after graduating le taught school in his native town hree years. In January, 1861, he irent to Sullivan's Island as a private n Capt. James W. Perrin's company, yhich became a part of Gregg's reginent; but was elected lieutenant to ill the first vacancy that occurred mong the officers. After the fall of "ort Sumter this regiment was disianded and the subject of this sketch eturned to his home in Abbeville. "During the summer of 1861 he gain went into the Confederate serice as lieutenant in a company comlanded by Thomas Thomson, which fas sent to Sullivan's Island. When Jol. Thomas V. Moore of Anderson determined to organize the Second egiment of South Carolina Rifles, jieut. White obtained leave of abence in order to recruit and organze another company. In this he was uccessful, was elected captain and ommanded Company K of the Seond South Carolina Rifles to the lme of his death. His regiment beunged to Jenkins' brigade of Longtreet's corps and in the second batle of Manassas was hotly engaged nd suffered heavy loss. Capt. White /as killed in this battle, and at the ime the fatal missile pierced his orehead was in command of the egiment, because all the regimental eld officers and his senior captains ad been killed or wounded.

Lesaon, P?. cxli?Memory Verses, 3, 4?Golden Text, Ps. cxli, 9. Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. 8tearns. This is not such a fascinating portion for meditation as that of last week. This tells of workers of Iniquity and the snares and gins and nets which the wicked set for the righteous. Yet it is written by the Jk same Holy Spirit It seems somewhat like coming down from the Mount of^ | Transfiguration to contend with the / ! devil and his works. U.. reminds us I that our adversary, the d^vil. still goI eth about and that we need the whole armor of God for the daily conflict and if we would not be overcome nor grow weary, we must consider Him who endured such contradiction of sinners I against Himself on our bebalf (1 Pet. v, 8, 9; Eph. vi, 10-13: Heb. xii, 3). It does not matter what particular part of David's life this psalm refers to. He was in the conflict from the tinJe that Samuel first anointed him: before that privately as a shepherd; after That more or less publicly till his dearb. | From the time that a sinner receives the Lord Jesus and thus becomes His redeemed property he is in the conflict with the world, the flesh and the devil and can overcome only by the blood of the Lamb and absolute confidence in Him (Rev. xii, 11; 1 John v, 4). "Lord, I cry unto thee;'' so also in Ps. clxll, 1, 5, "I cried unto the Lord with my voice." No place nor clrcum< stance need binder our cry to God. for Jonah cried to the Lord from the belly of the fish and was heard ,i(Jonah 11, 1. 2). On this occasion D.nvld Beems to have needed help at once, for be said. t "Make haste unto me." When Peter was sinking In the sea he needed belp quickly and cried. "Lord, save me!" And immediately Jesus raugbt him by tbe band (Matt xiv, 30. 31 v. The tbief on tbe cross ueeded sulfation qoickly, and he obtained it and wont to para* . dlse. Prayer as JnrenNe reminds us of Rev. v. 8; vlll, 3. the latter passaue teaching us that tbe merits of Christ are necessary to make any prayer acceptable and that by those merits every true prayer in His name reaches the throne. We think of tbe father of John the Baptist offering incense in the boiy place while tbe multitude was praying without, and we see by faith our great High Priest Interceding for us as we continue here in prayer Luke L 8-10). The evening sacrifice reminds us that salvation and service all depend upon His precious blood, for He died at tbe hour of tbe evening sacrifice. We need continually to pray the prayer of verse 3. "Set a watcb. O Lord, before my moutb; keep the door of my lips." for if any man offend uot in word tbe same Is a perfect man and able also to bridle tbe whole body (.Iha. ill, 2). "Who so keepeth bis mouth and his tongue keepeth his ?onl from troubles" (Prov. xxl, 23>. Elsewhere David said. "I will keep my month | with a bridle while the wicked Is be- t fore me" (Ps. xxxlx. 1). In Ps. ixxxlv, 10, tbe writer speaks of being a doorkeeper in the house of God, but here David asks the Lord to be his door(keeper. The word of God in out hearts Is mentioned as a remeu; against sin (Ps. xvil, 4; cxix, 11). Verse 4 of our lesson sounds Hke: "Lead us not Into temptation, but de> liver us from the evil one. May the thought of our weakness keep us far away from all that Is eviL" Verse G reminds us of Prov. ix, 8, "Rebuke a | wise man and he will love thee." And yet so good a man as Asa could not stand a reproof, but imprisoned the Lord's messenger (II Chron. xvt 101. 'I The marginal reading of this lesson I verse is helpful and also the revised I version. I In verse 8 we are reminded of the I prayer of Jehoshaphat, "We have no I might against this great company that B cometh against us; neither know we 9 what to do. but our eyes are upon B thee" (II Chron. xx, 12). There also I , comes to mind Heb. xil, 1. 2, "Let us I run with patience the race that Is set 9 ! before us looking unto Jesus." "Let flj I thine eyes look right on, and let thine B I o-roHfis look straight before thee" B (Prov. iv, 25). It is necessary that we ^ look In the right direction and at the 4 right person, for our eyes affect our I J hearts (Lam. ill, 51). It is blessed 9 when we see no man any more sav? 0 Jesus only with our selves (Mark lx, I 8). The last two leeson verses make us think of Haman, who was hanged upon the gallows which he bad prepared for n Mordecai; also of David's prayer In I Ps. xxxv, 8, "Let his net that be hatb hid catch himself." See also Ps. vll H 15, "He made a pit and digged it and B is fallen into the ditcb which he made," H and Prov. xxvl, 27. "Who so diggetb a pit shall fall therein." 9 We can safely leave all the worken fl of iniquity to work out their own ruin, H while we put our trust In the Lord, H rely wholly upon Him and live only for Him. When we can say from the H heart, "1 know turn wuum * uaiC ^ lieved," we can also add. "And am pep. H suaded that He Is able to keep that H which I have committed unto Him H against that day" (II Tim. 1, 12). He r is able to gnard us even from stum- h bling, and we may joyfully sing, "If B God be for us, who can be against us?" H (Jude 24, revised version; Rom. viii, H 81)- I
