- -? ? PROHIBITION LAW MUST BE OBEYED.: i Attorney General Palmer Calls on Local Authorities to Aid. t ___ Washington, June 30.?The department of justice will take no ac-. tior., pending- decision in present litinpori^yi Qfroincl- norcnnc mal'incr fir c*?,?tnov , selling beer and wines containing: 2 3-4 per cent or less alcoholic con- j tent. This announcement was made toniarht by Attoraev General Palmer.! Attorney General Palmer an- j r.cunced tonight that as long as the, "war-time prohibition law remains in force it must be obeyed and that the department of justice would do its ^utmost "to perform the duty which the congress has placed upon it" in enforcing the law. He declared that the department's! course with regard to the manufac- ( ture and sale of beer containing less' .% - ? ' i 1.1 1 J J _ i than Z 5-4 per cent aiconoi womu ue- ? pend upon rulings made by the district courts in which cases now are pending or many be brought. The fact that litigation is pending will be no protection against prosecution or offenses sunder the law. Must be Obeyed. The attorney general's statement said: "After today it will be unlawful, to sell for beverage purposes any distilled spirit and any beer or other intoxicating malt or various liquor, except for export. This prohibition ! will continue under the terms of the law 'until the conclusion of the pres-, -ent wfcr and thereafter until the termination of demobilization.' As long as the law thus remains in force, it, must be obeyed, and I intend that, the department of justice shall do its utmost to perform the duty which the congress placed upon it. r "This law has been held to l:e constitutional and valid by the circuit, court of appeals sitting in New York, j It plainily makes unlawful the sale of ^whiskey, brandy and other distilled spirits and wine. The only contro versy that has arisen is as to whether the sale of beer containing so Jittle alcohol as not to be in fact intoxicating is prohibited. The government's' contention is that the act prohibits the manufacture and sale of beer containing as much as one-half of 1 per cent of aclohol. But the interpretation of the act is not free from 1 difficulty, and I am endeavoring to liave the question settled by the : * * 1* A !_ 1 ^ 1 courts at tne earnest possiDie mo- j ment. My course'with respect to beer containing less than 2 3-4 per cent of 1 ^alcohol?which, it is claimed, is not intoxicating?will depend upon the ,1 : ruling which will soon be made by ] 'the district courts in which cases are 1 :now pending or in which other cases 1 may be brought. I have no power to 1 rgrant amnesty to any one who may! se^ fit to manufacture or sell beer { pending an authoritative judicial con- : struction of the law, and I am sure , Tth^t brewers and dealers generally understand that the pendency of litigation will be no protection against, prosecution or offense under the law. W9I Pro*ecut?

PRESIDENT SIGNS ACTS IN MID-OCEAN. Measures Necessary to be Signed by July 1, Receive Signature at Sea Washington, June 30.?President Wilson signed the railroad appropriation bill, the Indian bill, some minor measures and other documents which needed signature to become law before July 1, in midocean at 8 a. m., Greenwich time, today. On board the U. S. S. George Washington, June 30.? (By wireless f.-s tl->o Accnr'inf-pH Ptpss ^ it. was 11:15 o'clock this morning (ships time) that President Wilson, en rou.te home from Europe, signed the Indian appropriation bill and the railroad deficiency bill. At her present rate of progress the George Washington will arrive at Hoboken at noon Monday next. The transport Great Northern, with mail pouches direct from the White House in Washington containing the Indian and railroad bills hove in sight early this morning. The meeting at sea between her and tne George Washington had been previously arranged by wireless. Transfer Mail in Mid Ocean. , The Great Northern approached on the port side of the presidential fleet then came to a stop, and a destroyer transferred the mail^ bags to the president's ship. The bills awaiting the president's signature and documents relating to much other government business wre soon pread on the president's desk for his signature. In addition to the two important supply bills there were a number of army and navy court material reports and several reports, from the department of justice. ' The last day of the fiscal year thus found the president handling current affairs in mid-ocean. 1 This, first time in history that such operations of receiving and signing of bills in midocean had occurred was commented upon on board as marking another record breaking advance in modern methods of communica tion. 1 i FINE SCHEDULE RECORD FOR PASSENGER TRAINS New high records for on-time pas-' senger train srvice in the Southern region were set in May by the railroads tinder -Eroverniiient control. Re ports made public today by the! United States railroad administration show that of nearly fifty thousand brains operated during the month by the twenty-eight roads, 95.3 per cent maintained their schedules. This topped the April record of 94.3, which was believed to represent a litherto unequalled performance. Such service was made possible by mthusiastic individual effort and &am work among the railroad men, Simulated by competition among the lifferent roads. For months special attention has been criven to the Das jenger train performance, with the) purpose of making it generally as learly 100 per cent perfect as possi>le. Through the regional director's >ffice, each line has kept informed j >f what the others were doing, and 1 i spirited race for supremacy has re- < julted. ' For 17 larger roads, operating 47,- ; 103 trains, the May on time record < vas 95.4 per cent, compared with )4.6 in April. The 11 smaller roads naintained an average of 95.3 com- ; >ared with 94.3 in April. Only one ; the lArcer lines fell helow 91 oer >ent. One of the smaller group, the 1 tfacon, Dublin & Savannah accomp- , ished the extraordinary feat of sendng every one of its 124 trains hrough on schedule. Southern rail- oad lines record was .96 per cent. I. The Times Change. A thoroughbred Yankee, Dr. Harey W. Chase, has been elected presi[ent of the University of North Carilina. Re is probably the first northm man to be chosen for that place | inde the Civil War. He was elected !, ver several prominent North Caro- j inians. Secretary of the Navy Joseihus Daniels was mentioned for the losiiion, but was debarred on acount of the fact that he was a mem>er of the board of trustees. Chase, vho is popular in the university, prerailed despite the provincial plea 'North Carolina for North Carolini- i ins." He is most likely related to )ld Salmon P. Chase who was secre;ary of the Treasury in President Lincoln's cabinet. I Before the Civil War, many Southern college presidents were northerners. For instance, the first president of the South Carolina college, now the University, was Jonathan Maxy, a native of Massachusetts, who, before coming to this State, was a noted New England Baptist minister and president of Brown University at! Providence. Just a few days ago University of South Carolina dedicated its handsome new law school building.

Time was when a proposal to name a building at the I University after Mr. Petigru might have evoked considerable opposition, for he was our ablest and most persistent foe of secession who maintain ed to the very last that South Carolina should stay in the Union. While his extraordinary ability was generally recognized, he was most unpopular politically. j In December, 1860, the convention of the people of South Carolina which passed the Ordinance of Secession began its sittings in Columbia in the First Baptist church in Columbia. Mr. Petigru was then in the city, attending the Court of Appeals. On his way to court, he was met by a nlain rmintrvman who accosted him with the inquiry: "Stranger, can you show me the way to tlie Lunatic Asylum?" Mr. Peitgru replied: "Yes, my friend, with pleasure; come with me." Arriving in sight of the Baptist church, he pointed to it and said: "You see that building; it looks like a church, but it is now a lunatic asylum; go right there and you will find one hundred and sixty-four maniacs within it at this vrey moment." The election of Dr. Chase and the naming of the building for Mr. Petigru simply show that the times change and public' sentiment change with them.?Greenville Piedmont.

I had a dull, steady ache in my back and when I made a' quick move, a severe pain would go through me. I was dizzy at times and black specks would appear before my eyes. I was just all tired out and weak. In the morning I felt stiff and it was hard for me to get started at my work. My head ached, I was nervous and the kidney secretions were highly colored and full of sediment, causing a burning sensation in passage. Hearing of Doan's Kidney Pills, I got a supply and they relieved me right away. After I had used them awhile I was entirely cured." DUC, at dli ucaicio. i Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.
