2 3-4 PERCENT BEER NOT YET UNDER BAN Washington, June 30.?As wartime prohibition took effect tonight the Department of Justice announced that its agents throughout the coun ?nU rwvf tomorrow to stop the sale of two and three-quarter per cent beer. This eleventh hour development, a flat reversal of an earlier-ruling today by the department, was due to the uncertainty as to how the Federal District Court of New York might rufc <on a pending claim by brewer? that beer containing that much alcohol was not nitoxicating. But while this uncertainty existed as to beer of lighter alcoholic percentage than that sold generally here tofore, full warning was given that with respect to whiskey and all beverages as to whose intoxicating powers there was no doubt, every government agency would be set to work in a determined effort to prevent their manufacture and sale. Depends on Courts. How long the sales of two and three-quarter per cent beer might continue would depend ordinarily on the speed of the courts, but Congress meanwhile will step to the front in i-i. J.. _<r il an eltort to compieie wie cucvw?civeeB of the war-time law. j Exactly what they have refused heretofore to do, prohibition members of the house now will attempt passage of a straight, clear-cut bill for enforcement of war-time prohibition. Counted Noses. When word spread tonight that the Attorney General by his ruling had permitted beer saloons and breweries to remain in operation, members of the judiciary committee counted noses to find a sufficient number ready to go to the front and demand separation of the enforcement measures so as to get through at once a bill that would stop the sale of all beer containing more than one-half of one per cent alcohol. ' Congressional leader, it was said, refused to abandon plans for a recess beginning probably tomorrow in order to put the bill through as an emergency measure, and the whole question of prohibition will be held up until next Monday at the earliest. There were indications tonight that a hard fight would be made in behalf of an amendment to be offered by Representative Igoe, Democrat, of Missouri, which would permit the President to set aside in the wartime act in so far as it relates to light Wines and beer.

BA1 A HOSPITAL AT GREENWOOD e FOR THE COLORED PEOPLE r i . . t (Contributed.) * The hospital situation in Green- J wood County long has been one of I great concern. The situation is still t a serious one, but it has suddenly be- a come bright with big opportunity. t The ahIv Vnvcmi+_n1 in ?J1 this 9<SC- 8 tion, is the Greenwood hospital, and ? through the kindness of its Associa- t tion, it has done its best to meet the 'f situation. For cases of sudden sick- 8 ness, operations and accidents, two rooms have been available,?rooms c to be uMd fci connection with X-ray t work. Notwithstanding .the fact I that X-ray work has been insistently S needed, the Hospital Association has S not been willing that its colored pa- 1 I tients should be left without any t J ?A tlAfi fV/1 MTt. S ?uu ov iioo uyioj cu vi>v vwm versation of its rooms into an X-ray b station. S No relief was m sight until th$ t feeling of the colored people that c they urgently needed a hospital of ? their own, and this situation at the t Greenwood hospital, became known e to the American Missionary Association of New York. This Association, / 1 supported by the Congregational j Churches of the . United States, has S [long been working with the colored j people. Two of its officers recently vinifpd flrpRTiwood and had confer- i I ences with representatives of both p I races. The officers were quick to re- ? cognize the need of a hospital, and I the need of its erection as soon as Is possible. The response of the Exe-i f cutive Committee of the Association in New York, to the report of its of- f | ficers, was entirely unexpected. At v 'a meeting of the Committee in New j I York, recently held, it was voted to j a 1 appropriate fifteen thousand dollars 1 ! for a Viocniffll to hf? Inrated on the' I ~ x" " " " * campus of Brewer Normal School, t ! Greenwood, S. C., provided the peo-p I pie of Greenwood County raise a like f : amount. Thsi will make available f i * ! thirty thousand dollars for building' c j and equipment. {j Several meetings have been held a j among the colored people of Green- ^ : wood, and a campaign to raise ten ^ | thousand dollars at once, is being ar- e ; ranged. It is hoped by them that if e they raise this amount among them-1,. ' selvc?-. the white peonle will raise s the b iiar.ee of five thousand dollars. Thi organization to promote the c camp-.ign, is a simple one, and sim- j. dIv j ouires the loyal response of in dividuals approached, to make it , easily secure the needed money. Nineteen general organizers have been electcd, to each of whom will ;Ke assigned special territory, and the : definite sum of money which that territory should contribute as its share of the total amount to be rais- , i 11 ; | . aa?a?at?MBmiJMB| ? why we 1; id service? |;! <> more we <lo f*??r you Hie g >me in. ||| isc you because that makes gj1 ries delivered lo vour door. |ja S' f ivery service. j;T ?' i' i,...

ILFALFA SUCCESS IN LEXINGTON teven Tons From Four Acre* In Two Cuttings. Clemson College, July 1.?A good [lustration of the fact that alfalfa >ays when given careful attention is ound in the experience of D. F. Jfird & Son, of Lexington, whose uccess is related in extracts below rom a recent letter from them. "I have been trying to grow alfala for some years, but have met vith little success until recently, ily son on his return from college, ind I decided to try it again, folownig explicit directions laid down >y the government, and we feel hat we have met with some success. Ve now have four acres with a perect stand; one acre is three years Id and three acres are two years j Id. The one acre was cut five times j n 1918. Have cut the whole four! icres twice this season, and have at-1 ^ I , empted to approximate as nearly as ve could the amount of hay obtain- jj ' (1 from these two cuttincs and our ! stimate is that we have harvested, j mt Ics;-. than seven tons of excellent ilfalfa hay from these two cuttings. ?he last cutting, which is being ^ous- jjg? \1 today was exceptionally fine. I B5| lave not had the opportunity of see-,|w' r.g very mu'ch alfalfa, but estimate ^ !\?.t we jrot over a ton to the acre. j j]SH 'I am thoroughly convinced that ilfalfa is the mo.-t profitable hay B|! :rop that the farmers in my locality &? ran raise, ami think same is true of ?*g i large portion of South Carolina, w iiul 1 am very much interested in laving men who will give it a fair .est demonstrate this fact in their e.s;)ec-!ve communities, i wouiu uuu ha: oniess a man makes up his mind rag hat he is ?;oin<r to give it careful at- 80 ention, it is better for him not to as ittenipt to grow alfalfa, for he is jgi ikelv not to succeed." :H ;CHCLARSHIPS OPEN IN MANY COUNTIES || Twenty-nine normal scholarships $5g rorn as many counties are vacant sra rom the University of South Caro- Si inp and will he filled by competitive ira xamination at the various county 3? louses July 11.
