For this reason, all prohibitionists are urged to disregard political affiliations and party names at the polls insofar as the congressional contests are concerned. He makes the point that party lines do not divide the wets, and therefore, politicians fear the wet vote more than the dry. Mr. Bryan believes that if the preseht enforcement law, if it survives the next four years, the prohibition question will be finally settled. The Commoner avers that both Harding and Cox have continually emphasized the fact tiiat congress can change the prohibition laws, while evading the issue themselves. They have invited the voters to elect a wet congress, he says. SOUTH CAROLINIAN SUES FOR DAMAGES Dr. Hugh T. Boozer A?k> Large Sum From Hospital Superintendent New York, Sept. 21.?Dr. Hugh T.

E. HARRISON, JR. j JEWELER. ABBEVILLE, S. C. k NO EXPLANATION FOR EXPLOSION Authorities forking On Many Clues?Must Be Run To Earth. New York, Sept. 21.?Department of justice and police officials admitted tonight that five and onehalf day's investigation has failed to solve the mystery of the explosion in Wall street last Thursday, which cost 35 lives and property damages running into millions. Officials generally agree that the explosive was carried into the financial district on a ramshackle wagon left standing at the curb in front of the assay office just before noon. Hundreds of clues have been obtained as to the identity of the driver and his wagon but many of them are contradictorv and offi cials have begun the long and arduous task of running all of them down and trying to draw correct conclusions therefrom. A warning that the customs house was to be distroyed'at 2 o'clock today, which was received in the main yesterday by William H. Edwards, collector of internal revenue bought thousands of the curious to the scene at the appointed hour and resulted in half holiday for many clerks employed in* the building. The bomb threat, however, failed to develop and confirmed the belief of officials at the time it was received that it was either a hoax or the work of some letter writing "crank."
