JACKSON DEMOBILIZATION UP? No Moro Overseas. Mon Will Ho He reived at that Camp. (The State, 16th.) Camp Jackson ceased to exist as a demobilization camp yesterday and no more overseas troops will be mua* tered out of the service bete. Or ders from Washington early in tho month caused tho camp to bo aban doned as a demobilization collier, along with several others throughout the country. These orders are still in effect, and In accordance with their terms all demobilization ma terial, equipment and a number ol men connected with this depart mont will be sent to Camp Cordon within the next three or four days. Since the signing of the armistice over 50,000 men have been dis charged that caine through the port of Charleston, and probably 10,000 from other ports, at Hie camp, which shows thal the facilities for such work there lui ve been of the best. This does not include men at the camp wh.en war ceased, which would bring the number up to 100,Olia el more. The work- has been carried out efficiently and with dispatch, nut king one of the best records for any army camp in the country. Now that no additional troops are to hu discharged at Camp Jackson this will he a source of regret to many, as the presence of overseas men in Colum bia has meant mach to the capital city. With tho closing of the camp here as a demobilization center, Camp Cordon will receive all the men from this section to he dis charged, (marleston as a landing port for overseas troops ceased yes terday along with the order stopping the discharge of men at Camp Jack son, All arrangements are being com pleted tit tho camp for the shipment of material to Camp Cordon by the last of the week, it was learned yes terdav. Just how many men will go with the overseas discharging out fit is not known, hut the number will not be large. Despite the transfer the camp will not be deserted, as it is a permanent post. The Forty-eighth Infantry, Hie transport corps, the construction division of the army school, the Utilities division, tho base hospital and other organizations will be main tained. Humors that the entire camp will he made ti general hospi tal, similar to other institutions, is given little credence by officials of Ibo camp.

C., July 16.-That tho peuce ofllcera of thc Si a to can so direct public opinion that tho peo ple will demand a high standard of morality and law observance, was the central I h ou gil I presented to solici tors. Kile r j ff a 'and magistrales by Governor Cooper to-day at the con ference called here by him to devise plans for a more thorough system of law observance and law enforcement. Large pro/Its from the illicit stile of intoxicants and a loosening of standards due to the war, he stated, had caused many persons in South Carolina to erect distilleries and had caused immoral practices in various par.s of the State. These conditions, he thought, could he remedied by the co-operation of the peace officers, backed by a healthy public opinion. The Governor quoted a wealth of statistics showing the jail popula tions of South Carolina, the pre valancy of various sorts of crime and various other figures dealing with the State's criminology. The Governor said in pnrt; "I hilve requested a conference with the sheriffs, foremen of grand Juries, solicitors and magistrates for the purpose of discussing the admini stration of criminal laws of this State. I do not wish to create tho ! impression that the people of South . Carolina are lawless, because I am sure that the great majority are law-abiding and law-respecting. But due to a combination of circum stances we have a lawless condition throughout the State. The stile of intoxicating liquors and every coin pound or mixture of every kind that is calculated to produce drunkenness has been condemned. This prohibi tion la now nation wide. Owing to the very high price which a great I many people are willing to pay for ! alcoholic beverages, Illicit distilleries i have sprung up all over the State. and various devices are being used . in the manufacture of intoxicants. My information is to the effect that men who ordinarily would not think of engaging in any illegal practice : are so attracted by the prollts which . they may make that they are engag ing in this nefarious business. Hut there are other limiters closely ?li lied with and resulting from this j practice ti: vt must be considered. ' The population of the jails in this State is on the increase. In various j sections reports of Immorality have J been called to my attention. A great ! deal of this condition is doubtless ?due to the natural reaction following the war. and incident to the general unsettled condition. Whatever may he the cause, or the explanation the fact remains that there is more vio lation of law in this State and more immorality than is condusive to the j best interest of our people. I "The (iovernor cannot without the support of (he good people ol' tho State prevent crime. The solicitors can not suppress crime without tho aid of public opinion and co-opera tion on the part of the citizens. The sheriff is powerless in the discharge ol' his duties unless he is likewise supported by the people of his county. I (?rand juries may present bills ol' In i diCtment, bul HO good results can be j I expected unless every presentment is approved by the people whom they I serve. The magistrate is also de , pendent for the successful adminis I (ration of his ellice on public ?opin ! ion. .My experience as prosecuting I O ill cor has lcd me to the conclusion .that while all this is true, yet the (iovernor, solicitors, sheriffs and magistrates can create a public ! opinion and secure the co-operation and support of the people ol' their j county by a tactful and efficient ad- j ?ministration of their respective . o I fices. "My purpose, therefore, in calling lillis conference is that we may take counsel together, have an exchange lol' views as to conditions, and the remedy lo be applied, and thus aid in creating uol only a sentiment against crime, bul an active, aggres sive co-operation of all the machinery l'or its suppression. 1 confess to you that 1 have felt deep concern over conditions as they have been re ported lo me. but I am not pessimis tic, I am not in the least discouraged, because I am sure that you gentle men will give to me Huit support and co-operation which I need. I can promise you that I stand ready at jail times to support yon in your efforts to give the people of your respective counties that protection and security that the law undertakes to provide for every citizen. "I 'bink it is not inappropriate .that I give to you my conception of jibe duties of solicitors, sheriffs, grand juries and magistrates. The solicitor is the State's attorney. He represents tho State In all criminal prosecutions. The office is created in order that the people who are vitally concerned may be properly represented in the courts, and proper ly protected against the criminal. While I think lt Inadvisable for tho solicitor, in any case, to become the prosecutor in the ordinary sense AMEltK'AN MINK 8WEEPEII Destroyed, Ono Officer mid Six En llnteil Men Killed.

Philadelphia. July 1."..-Three men were killed when a seaplane plunged into the back channel at the Phila delphia navy yard late yesterday af ternoon. The dead are Ensign Roe rlck, Chief Machinist Mate Erklc and Coxswain ll. (!. Sonder. Their bodies have not yet been recovered. Two other men were injured. The plane, which was of the Cana dian F-6-L type, was up in a practice Hight testing radio telephones. lt was descending from a considerable height, and when about 200 feet above the channel it suddenly plunged into the water. The cause of tlie accident lias not been deter mined. The injured were taken to the naval hospital. There is more catarrh in this sec tion of the country than all other diseases put together, and for years it was supposed to be incurable. Doctors prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Catarrh is a local dis ease, greatly influenced by constitu tional conditions, and therefore re quires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Medicine, manufac ? lured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is a constitutional remedy, is [ taken internally and acts through I be blood on the mucous surfaces of the system.

Ho should, therefore, inform himself as to conditions in his cir cuits and advise investigations and prosecutions. "As a general rule 1 think a sheriff should not become a prosecutor, and yet it is peculiarly his duty not only to arrest a person charged with crime, but to discover persons re sponsible for crime, and see that prosecutions are instituted even if he is forced in some cases to become the prosecutor. The grand jury ls the grand inquest of the county, and once it is organized continues in office until another grand jury has been organized according to law. The members of the grand jury are conservators of the peace, and the obligations which they assume de mand Unit they be on the aler during the vacation of the courts as well as during their session, with Hie view of bringing to trial persons who are suspected of violating the law. "Likewise the magistrates should do more than issue warrants on proper complaint. Their duty is to conserve the peace of the community and wherever the law is being vio lated and the criminal is unknown the magistrate should lake steps as will detect the criminal, and see that he is brought before the bar ol' justice. Crime is a disease, con t a goon s and infectious. 1 am quot ing from ono of the most eminent of our circuit Judges, who has passed to his reward. This disease germ can live only in a congenial atmos phere, and its antidote is public opinion. This public opinion ls created by a vigorous and impartial execution of the laws on the par., of thoso charged with its administra tion. "I have made Iheso remarks to indicate to you what I had In mind In calling this conference, and huvo indicated what should bo considered. In ?tho past few months I have re ceived letters from wives and mothers who are distressed because husband or son is the victim of an illicit distillery, or a-porson who ls furnishing, under the pretenso of medicine, certain compounds used as a beverage." TO TUA IMO WITH Tl IE HERMANS. ! Export. Host riet ions Abolished mid Hunker Restrictions Hcseinded. Washington, July 16.-General licenses covering import and export trading with Germany were issued Monday by the war trade division of the State Department with the ap proval of acting Secretary Polk. Ex cept in certain limited cases, pro vided under the treaty of peace, trad ing between the t'nited States and Germany may be'commenced at once. The war trade divisions action was in line with the order of the Council of Five al Paris lifting the economic blockade of Germany last Saturday. The formal notice by acting Secre tary Polk was accompanied by two sweeping orders, one abolishing the export restrictions and the other re scinding bunker restrictions which have prevented the coaling of ves sels at American ports without li censes. Trading with Germany is expected to begin at once, three ships for Cer mnny already having been loaded in American ports. The shipping board has announced it stood ready to es tablish steamship lines between American Atlantic and "Gulf ports ? nd Hamburg and Bremen as soon as cargoes are at the docks. Host r et ions left in force affect trading bei ween the Ci.?ted States and Hungary and with those sections of Russia controlled by the Bolshe vik!. The importation of dyes, dye stuffs, potash, drug.' and chemicals which have been manufactured in i Germany, even if they have been I transported elsewhere before being shipped to the Culled States, ls still forbidden, except when Individual importation is secured to cover the movements. The importation of wheat and flour also is banned to protect tho government guarantee on wheat grown in the Cnited States and the general license does not cover importation of sugar or of tin, in pig or alloy. In rescinding the export conser vation list. Hie board called particu lar attention to tho fact thal all regu lations which have been in force affecting the movement of coal and coke to Scandinavia and Holland have been set aside, while; the bunker license is extended to authorize ves sels flying th?; Hag of any nation to coal in the Cnited States for any port without any formalities.
