Assistant Attorney General Sapp Ad
vises Constable to Enforce
Law.
Columbia, April 26.?A whisky j
constable, working under the "law j
and order" program, has written At-[
torney General Peeples asking how (
?J??ar>t_o_mnnrn
long, under Lilt; lictv 4uaiv-a-wvMVM|
law, he should give "the small blinu
' tigers" to get rid of their gallon!
"Will you please give me your opin-!
ion on the new liquor laws in regard,
to the people having in their posses-1
Bion more than one quart of whiskey,
and how long should I give the small j
fclind tigers to get rid of their gallon?;
Any other opinions on this new law i
will appreciate/' ; j
This is the request which came to
the attorney general's office today?
from J. C. Weatherly, constable at
JBennettsville, Marlboro county. It Is;
directed to Hon. Thomas H. Peeplea, I
as attorney general, and is signed by J
" T?ov />Anatahlp Mr. i
^ftd X" W til til C ^ ou vvuuwMWftvt .?
Weatherly was appointed by Governor
iManing about a year ago, under the
"'law and order" program, and it is
presumed, from the fact that he signs j
himself as "constable," that he still
holds under the commission given him
at that time.
"In regard to the length of time that
you should give the small bling tigers!
to get rid of their gallon," says Ab-|
distant Attorney General Claud N. j
Sapp in reply, "I beg to advise that
you are not authorized to give them
any time at all, but you are authorized
and it is your duty, if blind tigers ex-,'
1st in your community, wnetner iiuse
or small, to make every effort to sup
press this evil and bring tne guilty,
parties to justice/' ,|
In the course of his opinion, Mr.
Sapp holds that the keeping of whis
key for personal use, in one's home,
Is not limited under the.new law \>
one quart, but that any reasonaDie
amount which has been legally pro-;
cured heretofore, or may be legally'
procured hereafter, may be kept in
one's private residence or bedroom
{or his use or the use of his family, J
The opinion, which is .one of the
most interesting ana tnorougn auaij
?es of certain phases of the quart-a
month law yet presented, is as foi-j
lows:
"Columbia, April 26, 1911. J
"Mr. J. C. Weatherly, ConstaDi*. \

?Tn ronlv thereto I beg to advise

"In order to order and receive this,

gists, hospitals and laboratories, orj
for scientific or chemical purposes, is J.
not affected by this act and suchj
amounts may be received for the
above purposes as are permitted un
der the law formerly of force, without
permit. Hospitals or sanatoriums

ed to the use of liquors, morphine,
opium, cocaine or other deleterioug

use of patients therein, without a
permit, not exceeding five gallons of

(P. H. McGowan, in The S.ate.j
Washington, April 25.?Senator
Tillman, who is at his home at Tren

asking them to make public the fol
lowing as his views on conscription:;
"Before leaving Washington I was'
very much opposed to raising an
army by conscription. I have chang-,

for three reasons, rue VUIUUICCI a/ U

them as soldiers. Conditions of war
have changed since our civil conflict..

and we should get an army in train- j

Please show this telegram to the oth-j
er members of our delegation ana j
urge them for me to stand as a unit!
hphind the Dresident's bill. I chang-[
ed my mind after letting it be known j
that I was opposed to conscription, j
considering it more manly to acK-j

Hence, I telegraphed a friend in the(

if I were present and to so arrange'

Manning's App-Mntment Illegal ana
Blchardson'g Term Expired,
Columbia, April 26.?Under a de
cision of the supreme court, filed to
night, South Carolina as the result or
Governor Manning's refusal to ap
point upon the recommendation of the
Audubon Society, is without a chlei
game warden, neither Alfred A. Ricn
? * * * Wlodo T-Tq m! _
arason, mcumucut, uui xau^
ton Gibbes, Governor Manning's ap
pointee, being legally entitled to tne
office. The supreme court affirms Uie
decision recently rendered by Circuit
Judge Devore.
"When four years elapsed after the
appointment and qualification of Mr.
Richardson, as they did, then hid
term ended." the court holds.
In reply to the suggestion by coun
sel for Richardson that the office is a
public trust and a court will not aliov>
a trust to go unperformed, the court
holds that the office needs not go
vacant. "At most it would so go,'
it is held, "until the general assembly
might meet at its next session. 3Ior?
than that, the statutes now on tfle
books made possible the appointmeni
of a chief game warden today. That
officer gets his nomination from the
concurrent acts and wills of the Au
dubon Society and the governor. The
general assembly is now in recess,
and the Audubon Society may no\>
recommend and the governor may now
nominate the vacancy be filled in tne
mode provided by law, to wit: Until
the senate shall confirm tne nomin
ation."
"The law has provided how the ol
fice may be occupied," the court says,
"and we are boun'l to assume that
those charged with the execution ot
the law will not depart from it.*'
Artnrt hnid<s that Gibbes is not
1 lie V/V/Ul V UK/AMW ...
entitled to the office because he was
not recommended to the governor by
the Audubon Society.
The issue, says the court, is the title
to the office and not whether an act
of a person exercising that office is
legal.
i'he opinion was written by Asso
ciate Justice Gage and unanimously
concurred in. The Audubon Society
having heretofore recommended Ricn
ardson to Governor Manning, and the
governor having turned down the rec
ommendation and appointed Gibbea,
and the appointment of Gibbes having
been held illegal, there is now a dead
lock between the society and the gov
ernor. Whether it will be broken cah
not be foretold. In the meantime, the
office is legally vacant.

the common*- ccupied highway rules
for motor -rivers, has been put
into cirr a ?n >y The B. F. Goodrich
Rubber t i . It is dedicated to
the intere^ <.ne American motorist
in the prevention of accidents and to
the cause of greater tire mileage.
The booklet declares that seventy
five per cent of the automobile acci
dents are due to carelessness or iau
ure to observe the simple rules of the
road. "If everybody observed city
ordinances, accident liabilities would
be reduced," it says among other
things. I
"Children have not discretion of
adults and should be watched withi
utmost care," advises the booklet in
warning motorists to sound the horn 1
repeatedly and have the car under
perfect control when approaching
children at play upon the sidewalks, j
The new publication calls to the
special attention of motorists the fact
that they are welcome to the free |
service of the Goodright National j

BANKS OF LAURENS COUNTY
SHOW FAITH IN DAIRYING
i
(
I Clemson College, S. C.. April 30.?
As an evidence of their belief in
dairying as a branch of diversified
j farming and in order to encourage
; the purchase of roistered cattle,
1 the hanks of Laurens county recent
j ly announced that they are prepared
' to loan $5,000.00 at six per cent, in
! terest, on easy terms, to farmers of
' the county to be used only in the pur
i chase of registered cattle of the Jer
j sey breed. This will mean tfie ad
dition of 30 or 40 registered Jersey
j heifers to the same number already
owned by the farmers of this pro
i gressive county. The farmers of
Laurens county have already formed
a Cooperative Jersey Bull association
j and purchased several registered
bulls, and when the large number of
registered females are added, Laur
ens county will be the premier Jersey!
} center of the State. If {his policy oft
securing good registered cattle is pur
sued for a- few years, this county
should be one of the leading dairy
; centers of the country. Certainly no
county has gone into dairying with
better foundation cattle than thla
county will have.

PRODUCE INFERTILE EGGS
Save the Spoilage That Comes From
Letting- the Male Bird Run
With the Flock.
The farmers of South Carolina,
lose each year large sums because
of improper methods of producing
and handling eggs. One-third at
least of this loss is easily prevent
able. It is due to the partial hatch
ing of fertile eggs. t
The eggs laid by a hen may be
either fertile nr infertile denenrliTis:
on whether or not the male bird has
been allowed to run with the fe
male. A fertile egg is one in
which the germ has been fertiliaol
bv the male bird. Excent for thfe
process of fertilization, the male
bird has no influence upon the eggs
which the hens lay. Egg produc-'
tion is equally great in flocks from
which roosters are excluded.
A fertile egg does not keep as
well as an infertile one, because the
fertilized germ responds more read
ily to high temperatures than the
unfertilized one. It is impossible to
hatch an infertile e^g or to cause a
blood ring to form in one. Such
eggs are much more likely to reach
