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.

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- ,

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
