Boats Must Be Registered and Licenses Taken Out Under New Ruling. i Washington, June 12.?In preparation for a time when naval warfare I may be brought close to American shores, the customs bureau today issued drastic regulations covering the conduct of vessels in harbors along the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific coast. In addition to requiring the regsitration of every boat more than I twenty fee long, except vessels registered in foreign or coastwise trade the regulations forbid all navigation within the harbor after dark except for necessity traffic permitted I by the port captain or collector. | Licenses will not be issued to I boats doing junk business and the i licensing of chandlers' vessels will I be limited to the few required for I harbor needs. These may transport 9 articles to and from vessels in the harbor only by written permission | of authorities. Vessels in coastwise I travel will be required to report their leaving and arrival unless they have special permits. In addition every officer and member of a crew of vessels in coastwise travel including yachts, pleasure bo^ts, must obtain identification y>ai>r)c onH o Vmrhor lirpnse will be I I issued to no vessel which carries anyj person not holding such a card. This do?* net hcTJVcr, on ferry or other passenger boats. ' j No person may carry a camera on| any vessel in harbor, except by permit of port authorities or unless the camera is deposited with the purser during the journey. Ferries also are excepted from this regulation. t t SPARKS SPEAKS. I Col. Joe Sparks spoke in the Court House on Wednesday afternoon, at 6:30, in the interest of the War Savings Stamp campaign. He was introduced by Mayor Mars, and in a short but interesting talk made plain to those people who heard him the work which lies before us. He emphasized the fact that the people have not yet felt the effect of the war, and that if we are to win the war it must be won at home. ) The people here, he said, were decaying themselves of nothing in or-j r^m to help the government in its i Wkulties, but on the other hand practicing every kind of ex-j travagance to which we are accustomed. He warned the people that there must be an end of this if we are to play our part in the winning of the great conflict. He gave some valuable advice on the way the money is to be raised.

No man he said, should be excused, it being the intention of the government to secure the name of every man who refuses to assist the governmnt with his rasons for so doing, in order that the government may know who are its friends. Every man is expected to do his full part. No one can buy more than one thousand dollars worth of these stamps, and there should be a large Limit Club in Abbeville County, that is a large number of people who are willing to buy the limited amount of one thousand dollars. .
