(LAWS OX LIQUOR STAND ACID TEST ballon a Month Only?Webb Kenyon Act is iAIso Upheld. Important Descision Filed Yesterday. r The State. Both the gallon-a-month act and the Webb-Kenyon law are upheld in decision of the supreme court en bann filed yesterday. E. J. Brennen or Columbia brought an action in the Richland circuit court to upset the gallonjj^uonth act and on losing there took fan .appeal. The Webb-Kenyon law was "brought into question in action brought in Greenwood by the Charleston & Western Carolina railway f- against Reuben Gosnell, chief of the L f-rnntv rural nolice. and others. The court en banc lield that a discrimination complained of in the Brennen 'jase did exist unde'r the dispensary system in force at the time the suit was begun, but that the State being "dry" now no discrimination existed. In the Gosnell case the court sus| tained the right of peace officers to seize liquors in trasic for unlawful purpose, without awaft!n"g either actual or constructive delivery. The shipment in question was shipped "order notify," and on its being seized the railway sought to recover it unclaim and delivery proceedings.

Zlc NINE MUNITION SHIPS BRAVE U-BOAT DANUEU I Don't Want to Leave on Friday the I3th the "Unlucky Day," and as Allied Cruisers are Near Heavy Munition Shipments arc (ioing Across the Atlantic, Secured by American Lives. | i X* ? ?1- /"I/if 10 UooHafl hi* t ll 0 IUI IV, XAV/uuvu WJ v**-. , 2-i,000-ton White Star liner Adriatic I with a $7,000,000 cargo and 336 i.as-' ' senders, a flotilla of nine British mer-! i I ckantmen with munitions of war slip- j ped out to sea tonight. The vessel.? I j lud remained at anchor all afternoon j , within the three-mile limit off Sandy | j Hook. | As soon as darkness shut out the j shore line the propellers or tne Auri-; atic commenced to turn and she crept j away on her voyage to Liverpool, the richest prize on the seven seas today. A squadron of British cruisers summoned by wireless from the West Indies, Bermuda, Bahamas and Hal_ . i j ifax, by Admiral Montagu Browing, j } met her. They will act as an escort i for the big liner and the eight freightj ers that followed in her wake tnrough i the danger zone in which Admiral ? Browning thinks the U-53 and her companions may still 'be waiting. The''.Adriatic left her pier at 12:3o p. m. just half an hour later than herj advertised sailing time. She passed the j ! Batterv a little after 1 o'clock and i steamed slowly down the bay through I the narrows to anchor at Sandy Hook J until nightfall. When she passed the j Narrows the Cunard steamer Pamonia, which has been waiting since Sundav with her cargo of explosives in Gravesend bay, left her- anchorage and followed astern of the big liner. Later in the afternoon the British steamers Eastgate, Dipton, Toftwood ! and Strathstay, all under charter to ! the French line and loaded to capacity with war munitions, left their anchorages and joined the Adriatic -and Panonia off the Hook. The last two of the flotilla, the freighter Ardgorrock and the Atlantic transport steamer I Minehaha, with 1,400 tons of muni- j | tions on board, passed through the 1 narrows at 5 o'clock. Cruiser Escort The reasons for tlie movement of so many munition carriers at one time are said to be the availability at this time of the cruiser squadron as an escort, and the superstition that so many skippers have about sailing on a Friday, Tomorrow being Friday, the 13th, ii -was realized that unless the vessels got i away tonight another whole day might | be wasted and Saturday might not prove so favorable. Furthermore, the Cedric and Bovic, two other big British freighters, are due to reach port tomorrow and the presence of the allied cruisers would enhance their chances for a safe arrival. United States battleship Nevada and several torpedo boat, desroyers have been Bigbted off the coast and their presence was attributed to the known arHvai nt the British and French Cruisers and the determination of' i President Wilson that there shall be no violation of American neutrality* Lifeboats Bea4y. Before the Adriatic left her pier Capt. J. B. Ransom ordered all the liefboats uncovered and supplied witr | provision* and water. The falls were loosened and pulleys inspected. Wbilt at. anchor off the Hook the lifeboats were swung outward in readiness for immediate use. Life belts were served to the passengers, most of whom seem to have been told that the British cruisers would guard them from submarine attack. Of the 38 first cabin passengers, four are Americans?H. A. Emerson, a New York commission merchant; R. G-. ? * 1 i Brassington, who is in tne saie Business in this city; William J. Wilson and his wife, who are going to join the London Hippodrome forces. There were several Americans among the 19S second cabin passengers but their names were not available, owing to the holiday. In the third cabin were 117 passengers, mostly Canadians and no | known American citizens were amons? them. I The departure of the Adriatic recall- J | ed to the minds of most of the passen-j gers and their friends on the pier j the sailing of the Lusitania in the | face of a warning not nearly as em- j phatic as that given by the activities! of the IJ-53 last Sunday.

Aeroplanes and their parts also were shipped as deck cargo. As the liner moved awav from her pier and hacked into the North river she ftas greeted by cheers from the 1 eople along the waterfront and by the whistles of all craft in the harbor. The waistling accompanied her all the way to the Narrows. Trp Adriatic has a^speed of'nine teen knots and is the largest and fast- i est vessel now in the merchant service.
