Blockading Now. flf Speaking of blockaders in the King's P Mountain battleground section, the other day. an officer who has had ? years of experience in breaking up illicit distilleries, told the reporter that there was less whisky being made in that section at this time than at any time in years. Asked as to the reason, the officer said that so many distilleries had been broken up during the past few years that many of the distillers had simply quit the business because they had realized that It was impossible to evade the law. "But." continued the officer, "there are, of course. soi*t folks up there still making whis?%. and there always will be. But they i hard to catch?very, very hard to fcatch; and therefore they must be scarce. And there is another thing. I have not seen near as much blockade whisky during the past month as heretofore." Generous Offer From Norway. k The Bethel hail storm sufferers are r to receive "nearly a carload" of cotton and corn seed, to be contributed by citizens of Norway, S. C. Mr. B. B. Williams of Norway, was the original mover in the benefaction. After securing the co-operation of his neighbors. Mr Williams wrote to Commissioner of Agriculture Watson. Commissioner Watson sent the letter to Mr. Chas. L. Cobb, of the committee, stating that _ . he, Mr. Watson, would try to get free " transportation and asking for instrucm j tions. and Mr. Cobb forwarded it to W/ Mr. W. D. Grist, chairman of the comix mittee. with the suggestion that so far B as he was concerned, the contribution should be disposed of in accordance B, with the resolution adopted by the B ; committee and providing that all cony 'trlbullohs then on hand be dlstrtbuled , among the Bethel people. Mr. Grist wrote Mr. Cobb, agreeing with his suggestion, and advised that the car be consigned to Mr. W. W. Stanton at Clover. He stated also that if the freight charges could not be provided for as Mr. Watson had suggested, he was quite sure thpl. the amount could be raised by prh ~ subscriptions or otherwise. So th* matter stands at present. CLOVER CULLINGS. Merchants Sold Lots of Christmas Uooat?onrisimas uay wuioi??_??.? of Bad Weather?Personal Mentior. Clover, December 28.?Clover merchants had a large stock of holiday goods on display last week, and in spite of the rain and exceeding cold, there were many people in town during the few days before Christmas, to purchase the same. Christmas day was unusually quiet, the drizzling- rain that fell throughout the day compelling most people to stay in their homes. The only thing to break the sound of the whistling wind and the rain, was the occasional poping of a fire cracker by some boy. Although a large quantity of whisky had been shipped here there was little disorder, and the policemen had very little to do. The town council had art ranged to have extra policemen on duty however, had their services been necessary. There will be few if any changes among business people here, after January 1. Nobody is crying hard times and everybody is looking forward to a prosperous new year. Roads leading out of Clover are in a terrible condition on account of the rain during the past few days. The roads leading to Bethel church and toward Bethany have been almost impassible. Many people with whom your correspondent has .talked, say thai Christmas day was the coldest they have ex' perienced in years. The thermometer L here was far below the lowest mark of the past five years at least. There have been few festivities among Clover young people during the holidays thus far, on account of the bad weather. However, if the weather permits, there will be quite a number of parties and the like for the young folks this week. Cadets Marshall and Joseph Barnett and William Matthews of Clemson college, are spending the holidays with relatives here. Mrs. J. D. Guinn is visiting relatives In North Carolina. Mr. John Matthews of the South Carolina Medical college, Charleston, is at home for the holidays. Miss Beulah Matthews of Spartan burg, is spending the Christmas holidays at her home here. Messrs. Stroup of Erskine college are at home for ten days. When Mr. J. D. Guinn stepped down as postmaster at Clover upon the appointment of Mr. Jas. A. Barrett to tnat position on uecemDer 10, me venerable old gentleman completed more than 36 years' service to Uncle Sam. He was appointed to the position in 1877 and since the day of his appointment, has been absent from his office but a few times. He has the destinction of having served longer than any other South Carolina postmaster, and he has seen service under eight presidents. Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, Cleveland, McKinley, Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson. Mr. Guinn is now 72 years of age. He talked quite reminiscently of his long service as postmaster at Clover, when seen by your correspondent last Thursday. He has seen numerous mail carriers go in and out of the service on the Clover routes. His father's name was spelled "Guin," and he spelled his own with one "n" until he was appointed postmaster when by some error his bond to the Federal government was made out J. D. "Guinn." Not caring to go into the trouble and red tape of having the authorities cut off the surplus "n," he has spelled his name "Guinn" ever since his appointment. Mr. Guinn. having reached the age limit by which he would have been illeeible to stand the civil service examination for re-appointment, a successor in the person of Mr. Barnett. who had been assistant in the office here for several years, was appointed. Af- to tkor..i.?Fblv onmnotonf and enjoys the esteem and K**'d will of all the people of Clover. \ UNCLE SAM COMPLAINS Emphatic Demand that England Change Attitude to American Commere?. Washington, December 28.?The United States today dispatched a long: note to Great Britain insisting on an early improvement in the treatment of American commerce by British fleets. It warned England that such feeling had been aroused in this country and that public criticism was general over unwarranted interference with the legitimate foreign trade of the United States. The document, constituting I the strongest representation on me subject made by the United States to any of the belligerents, was cabled to Ambassador Page, to be formally presented to Sir Edward Gray, the British foreign secretary. Its preparation was begun a month ago by Solicitor Cone Johnson, Counselor Robert Lansing and Secretary Bryan, and during the last two weeks had the personal attention of President Wilson, who revised its phraseology with minute care. Cites Cases. As the detailed point of view of the United States in the numerous specific cases of detention and seizures of cargoes had been set forth in a series of emphatic protests, most of which have gone unheeded, today's communication was couched in general terms covering the entire subject of the relations between the United States and Great Britain as affected by the latter's naval policy, considered highly objectionable to this government. The note declares at the outset that the representations are made in a friendly spirit, but the United States considers it best to speak in terms of frankness, lest silence be construed as an acquiescence to a policy of Great Britain which infringes the rights of American citizens under the laws of the Nations. Since France has virtually adopted the same policies on contraband as TJrlfo\t\ tn^ov'a nnfp lq fl qtflfp. | ment Intended for all members of the Triple Entente. The document points out that complaints on every side and public criticism in the United States hold the British policy as directly responsible for the depression in many American industries. Reimbursement alone for cargoes unlawfully detained or seized, it states, does not remedy the evil, as the chief difficulty Is the moral effect on American exporters who are restrained from taking risks or hazards which in no case ought to suiround legitimate trade between the United States and other neutral countries. Feeling Aroused. Peeling has been aroused on the subject to such an extent, the communication adds, that the American government feels compelled to ask for definite information as to Great Britain's attitude in order that it may take such measures as would protect American citizens in their rights. The United States, it points out, was patient at first, realizing that hostilities had heaped a mass of burdens on the British government and thinking an early adjustment of the situation would come. Five months have elapsed, it asserts, with no improvement in the situation. In the meantime, American shippers have availed themselves of various suggestions from the British government, such as shipping cargoes to definitely named consignees in neutral countries and taking out of certificates from consuls in this country whic^ followed promises of the British foreign office that the allied fleets consequently would cease detentions of these cargoes. The situation, however, is described as having hardly improved after these concessions. Reference is made in the note to the high principles of equity which have actuated Great Britain in her championship in the past of the freedom of the seas to neutral commerce, and the hope is expressed that even though a belligerent herself, she will realize the seriousness to the neutral of continued interference. Taking up the subject of detentions of American ships at sea, the United States government states that it cannot tolerate undue delays in examining them or the convoying of such ships to British ports for detailed examination. It argues that proof of hostile destination of the cargo must be in evidence at the time of the search at sea. The belligerent right nt owirch the note adds, is fullv rec ognized, but it cannot be extended to the point of diverting American ships into British ports merely on suspicion. The United States asserts, moreover, that it views with growing concern the detention of scores American cargoes consigned from % country to neutral ports, contending that it should be the duty of the belligerent to protect neutral commerce and prevent innocent merchants from suffering. One of the most significant complaints cited in the note is against the treatment by Great Britain of American cargoes of copper. It is charged that Great Britain is not according the same treatment to American trade in copper with the Scandinavian countries as to commerce in this product between the United States and Italy under the same conditions of shipment. Even though the Italian government has proclaimed an embargo on the exportation of copper from Italy to belligerent countries similar to the embargo in force in Norway. Denmark and Sweden, the consignments of copper to Italy from the United States are said to be held up while those to the Scandinavian countries are not molested. Today's note follows in many important points the argument then advanced by Germany that Great Britain's practice with respect to neutral commerce was a distinct departure from many previously accepted principles of international law. SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS ? Messrs. A. G. Brlce and J. H. Marion are announced as candidates for the senate from Chester county, to succeed the late P. L. Hardin. ? Fire in a garage at Darlington, Saturday afternoon, destroyed sixteen automobiles and the building in which they were housed. There was no insurance on the machines. ? Washington, December 28: While many members of congress returned to Washington today from the short Christmas holiday, prepared for the resumption of business tomorrow, administration leaders feared a quorum might not be present in either house. In the senate the immigration bill will be the order of business. Should a point of no quorum be made an adjournment probably would be forced. In the house the postofflce appropriation bill is the unfinished business. No agreement has been reached to proceed in the absence of a quorum. Opponents of the immigration bill, with its proposed literacy test, hope to replace further consideration of the measure, temporarily at least, by appropriation bills. Senator Smith of South Carolina, chairman of the immigration committee, said today. however, that the bill had enough friends In the senate to prevent its being replaced and to bring it to a vote, notwithstanding that President Wilson has made known his opposition to the literacy test. House leaders said today the forthcoming fight on the resolution to re-submit a constitutional amendment for equal suffrage probably would not be brought up until all members interested in the issue had returned. The Parcels Poet*?The tremendous growth of the parcel post business seems to have been emphasized during the holiday season. The trucking hands at the Pennsylvania depot in New York handled 5,000,000 packages in the single week ended December 24. I From all reports business at other de-1 pots of other railroads was corres-1 pondingly brisk. The popularity of the parcel post is not to be wondered at. for it not only gives the people the most convenient sort of service, but the charges for carrying the packages serve to make the people happy. The parcel post Is a mighty good thing for the public. If the city and rural delivery carriers are not in love with it, no one would be inclined to blame them. As a matter of fact, both the human and steam carriers ought to be given more pay for the increased loads they have been compelled to deliver. ?Charlotte Observer. Th? County Agent.?A new pioneer has loomed on the horizon of popular interest. He is not looking for a Job, but the job is looking for him. He is not a resident of the city. The country and its problems are the burden of his thought and effort. He is the county agent, employed by the farmer to organize them and encourage their efforts in better methods of producing and marketing crops. He is furnishing leadership and inspiring co-operation. Although his work may not tell very rapidly at the start, his Is a coming profession. Probably nothing since the public land policy in the United States was established has had so much bearing upon the future of farming in this country. He brings the world's experience to the farm by personal contact. When you ride through the country where he has been, you cannot help knowing it. Through him a new dynamic has come into the American farm.?Wall Street Journal. ? luisses Marie Fowler and Myrtle Coleman were more or less seriously wounded by stray bullets, fired by negroes in a fight on the streets of Jonesville, Saturday afternoon. ? D. Luther Boozer, a prominent planter of Laurens county, and his foreman, D. C. Ray, have been arrested, charged with interfering with an officer in the discharge of his duties. Boozer was a candidate for the legislature last summer. ? The state supreme court has re-affirmed its order entered two years ago, by which Mrs. Lucy Dugas Tillman was awarded custody of her children, Sarah Stark and Douascha Pickens Tillman. The court directed that B. R. Tillman, Jr.. father of the children, should have possession of them during certain periods of 1915. ? The daily newspapers reported last Thursday that the governor had granted sixteen paroles for Christmas and gave the names of the paroled men. It developed, however, after the appearance of the papers, that the correspondents had gone to sleep on their jobs. As a matter of fact the governor had granted only a few paroles and the sixteen names had been inadvertently copied from the 1!?12 parole hook. $8trfal Doticu Dr. McConnell Coming.

SHERER & QUINN Regarding the Monument The Monument is the sole product of man which is expected to exist. without change or repair, for all time?beyond the memory that we cherish in our hearts, which ia only as long as the span of life. It may help to form a record, but it la erected as a tribute of love to thoae who have passed "to that bourne from whence no traveler ever returns." Aa such, let it be a thing of beauty, not dark and somber, but bright and cheerful; not typifying earthly sorrow, but symbolizing undying love. And as architecture is brought to us from the past by the tombs of the ancients, so let us pass on to those In our steps, some worthy expression of our conception of beauty. PALMETTO MONUMENT CO.
