important ruling in federal court Judge Smith Denies Right of Officers to Search Office or Dwelling Of interest to the bar of the state ~ * t-- m *t a. -%r i are decisions 01 juage n. /v. m. Smith of the federal court in the case against J. M. Chicco, white, et al., tried last week for possession of liquor. A great part of the evidence swung around the right to search a man's dwelling, office or store without a search warrant, and the fact that some evidence was secured by forcibly taking a bunch of keys from the! negro, Willie Hills, indicted in thej / case. Judge Smith ruled that no dwelling, office or store could be searched without a search warrant, and the negro : V claimed that the building in which * the liquor was found was his office and shop. However, the place was '/ vacant, except for the whiskey, and J Judge smith ruieu mac in mac caaej the officers of the law had a right to I search without a warrant* whether of- \ flee or dwelling:. ? : V;v. : The judge also ruled that all. evi- j t dence collected from the forcible seizure of the kejrs should be thrown out - and could .not be used against, the defendant. , Formerly officers of the law had the right to search between sunrise S. and sunset without a warrant, but that j was changed by the supreme court in I the case of Lawrence Amos, negro f, . from Sumter county, a few years ago, i this being the latest change on this! subject of search warrants, accord-j ing to District Attorney Weston. Chicco and Hills were both found / guilty but notice of appeal was filed. i v Both men are under suspended sentence of the Charleston county circuit _> i. M COUri IUI llliyt 114uui Halt.

Watson, an 86 year old Confederate veteran, reached Green-' wood Tuesday about noon on a 100-' mile horseback trip from Ridge! Spring in Saluda county to Green- i ville, where he^will visit his son, Maj. K. F. Watson. Colonel Watson refuses to travel by rail preferring to ride his favorite saddle horse in spite of weather conditions. Two years ago Colonel Watson rode from Ridge Springs to Greenville in the dead of winter, reaching Greenwood in a blinding snow storm. Stop ping until the snow ceased with an old comrade, Capt. J. G. Jenkins, Colonel Watson resumed his journey; in the slush, reaching Greenville on j ' r >edule. The galal^t old cavalier left Ridge Springs Monday morning in spite of! y I < threatening rain, he spent Monday j night with a friend near Cambridge! and rode into Grenwood Tuesdayj morning, although the clouds threatened snow and the wind was bitterly cold.

GERMAN CABI.ES RESTORED SOON New Tork, Jan. 21,?Clarence H. Mackay, president of Commercial Cabled Postal Telegraph system has announced that his company has just completed a contract with the German Atlantic Cable company, a German ? corporation, under the terms of which direct cable communication . nntVi Cflrm^rvir TT-i 11 hn pewjtnPPfl affp.r fl 1/ u avm V4V& rr?*? wv ??.? *. ? lapse of eight years. j This contract, which has just beep signed, calls for laying a new cab/le between New York and Emden. Germany, with the cable touching at /the Azores, to be completed and in/ operation by October 1923. The arrangement provides for the Comrrjiercial Cable company to lay a cabl/ from New York to Azores, (2,302 /miles) and for the German company/o make *V> o /fnnnaMiitn hotvppn the AZOteS and Emden (1,888 miles)./The two sections tdl lbe joined at vhe Azores station and all messages wiftl be transferred automatically fron* one to the other .giving what virtually wil be instalntaneous service /between the two countries. / .The contract furtheyr pro\Tides that the Commercia Cable/s Postal Telegraph system shall hsindle to the German company all messages collected by the United States? destined for Germany and that thp German company vhall reciprocate / by sending all its American traffic/via the Commercial Cables Postal T/elegraph' system. The laying o% this new cable is the first attempt /it resumption of direct oommunicatioii oetween tne i imt-u j States and Germany. Inuring the war there was no cable communication between Gernuany and the United States. Since the signing of the armistice all cable messages sent between the two CGuntrie.vhave had to pass either througtfvEngland or France.

Prior to the outbreak <6t the World war there were two ^cables between the United States and Germany and both were operated by the Commercial company although j owned by the German-Atlantic Cab^e j company. The first of these was-laj|f > in 1900 and the second in 1904. Theyj extended from New York to thej Azores,. and thence to Emden, Gev- j ; i many. j.in ran ' hJur after Great Britian' *-| j ciared war upon German:*, At stj t), X J JL'I, XX.xU .. v*>* uxXx.x .fxtil oh, 1917, lay dormant. In March, 1917, they again were cut by the British government at a point more than GOO miles from New York, and one of the cables, under agreement between Great Britian and Fx*ance, was diverted into Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Penzance, England, and since July 1, 1916, has been used by the British government as part of its Imperial i Tc-legraph and Cable system. The I pfivf-rnment did not remove I the other erstwhile German cable I from American shores, hut in Novem| ber, 1917, the French cable ship, Jermanac, arrived at New York and cut i hot hcables some five miles from their ! landing place at the Commercial ; Cable company's station at far Rockaway, and diverted one of them into 1 " " v i%Amt%or?v'o cf o tinn of UlC i1 rencu ^uu>c wuuif<uij j ?? ; Coney Island. The end diverted to the French Cable company station was put into operation by tha^ company, .under control of French government, , between New York and Brest, France, via the Azores. "The disposition of these two exGerman cables," said Mr. Mackay in his statement yesterday ,is now in the hands of the five allied powers to , whom the cables were ceded by many under the treaty of peace and the Commercial Cable company has filed a very substantial claim against them on account of its former contract for > operation of these cables, which contract was impossible of resumption at the close of the war because of the seiziire of the cables by the British and French governments. In m akingthe contract for the laying of the new German cable the Commercial Cable company in no way ceded any of its rights or claims against the allied powers in connwuua wnu the former German cables. "The laying of the new German cable is part of the Commercial Cable company's program of expansion. It recently was announced by that company that it had made application to the state department for a license to i lay a second trans-Pacific cable." MOVED from .1615 Main St., to 1423 Main .St. DR.

His serm.on was the story of the timid woman saved by her faith and his graphical illustration brought mingled tears and applause from the I great audience > "The only thing the timid woman could do," he said, "was to touch Jesus Christ That is the only thing you can do, 2,000 years afterwards, to be ^avea. you may be baptized, sprinkled or dipped, be confirmed, go to prayer-meeting and all that, but unless you touch Jesus Christ there is nothing to it. You are lost. "You may not believe there is a hell, but your misbelief will neither put out the fire nor shut the gates." Continuing, he said: "One of the real objects in life is to do something that will live.after you are gone and go on doing good forever. We are going to meet a lot of people in heaven we helpc-d to get there and did not know that we have helped them." This afternoon Mr. Sunday spoke to the children of the city ,and the meeting was one of the most original and unusual ever witnessed. On the desk before him were ten vases representing the Ten Commandments. He told I a story of a little boy who played hookey from Sunday school and then told his mother he did not. in which transgression he broke sfx commandments, and Mr. Sunday smashed the vases on the platform to carry the story to the minds of the youngsters. ? , ?

PROMINENT MASON ENTERS OBJECTION | To the Editor of The State: I notice there is a bill before the legislature to exempt Masonic temples from taxation. As a Mason in good standing and a great believer in its character and mission I protest against its passage. I have not heard a single argument in its favor and, besides, it ts a vicious and dangerous precedent. I know that one of. its strong points is the dispensation of charity. I never knew, before, .that the order is an object of charity. Composed ,as it is, generally, of the best and most substantial people in the country, and requiring an entrance fee of $40, this effort to dodge taxes is cheap and unworthy of the great institution. I hope, as a past grand master of the order, if put up to Governor Cooper, he will veto it. It is so thoroughly out of harmony with the history, practices and inner workings of our fraternity that I am greatly disappointed over this movement. It is the first time since I have been connected with it that I have heard of its playing- the beggar. With no claim to superior qualities of what is right and proper and with no reflection upon the promoters of this tax-dodging scheme, I know and feel that it is not in keeping with the spirit and capacity of Masonry to shirk any just and righteous obligations to the public. the state or to charity. It is pre- j eminently not a charity organization, j except to others. I have been amazed j that it received any favorable con- j sideration at the hands of the legisla-1 ture. T. H. Drehcr. !
