MOOTED QUESTION.
ON
ADVICE WITH RESERVATIONS
Town or City Ordnances Void That
Are Broader in Scope Than Arw
the Statutes of the State.
S. M. Wolfe, attorney general,
dressed a letter to Horace Harby of
Sumter, emphasizing that where there
was a conflict between city ordiances
and the State statute relative to the
sale of extracts and o^ier compounds
used as intoxications, the State law
takes precedence. Mr. Harby Is city
recorder in Sumter. The letter follows:
While it does not come within the
sphere of the duties of this office to
advise other than State officials, and
while at all times it is my personal
desire to render such courtesies to
citizens generally as may be consist
ent with the best policy of my admin
istration, I* believe that in instances
such as this, there need be no occasion
for embarrassment and with the dis
tinct reservation that such advice as
may be given is without prejudice to
either side, .and. offered for what it,
may be worth, I take pleasure in call
ing your attention to the proviso in
Section 2994, Volume I, of the Code of
1912, in reference to city ordinances.
In the case of Newton vs. Belzer,
143 Mass. 598, reported in 10
page 464, and in the case of Common
wealth vs. Roy. 140 MaSi. 432. report
ed in 4 N. E., page S1'4. the court held
that “if an ordinance is broader than
the statute, it is void.”
Suppose we take for illustration the
socalled “quart* a month” law. which'
does not require a physician’s certifi
cate, although certain judges of pro
bate require this of their own initia
tive. Suppose an ordinance were to'
embody this sectiqn of the statute and
exceed its requirements by stipulating
that the physician’s certificate must be
produced before being granted the
permit, it is respectfully submitted
that this portion of the ordinance
would be of no effect, inasmuch as it
superseded the State law, and I take
the same position relative to your so-
called “ordiance” pertaining to ex
tracts.
Increased Rates in Effect
Increased schedules of rates for tel
ephones in South Carolina are in ef
fect. During the morning the railroad
commission was considerably agitated
by calls from subscribers, making in
quiry as to procedure while the sched
ule was being protested. In the after
noon a statement was issued, signed
by Frank W. Shealy, chairman, in
which it was emphasized that the
commission had acted in issuing a per
emptory order against the increase
and that further action would have to
come from the office of the attorney,
general.
Soldiers Want Jobs.
Brass bands, free meals and recep
tions are right and proper, but there
must be with the welcome the offer
of a suitable job to every man in uni
form who needs one,” says Col. Ar
thur JKooda^asalatant to Secretary of
War Baker, in a statement sent to
John L. Davis, federal director United
States employment service, Columbia.
Mr. Davis received from Franklin K.
Lane, seeretaiy of the lutertof, and South Carolina commission had not
Col. Arthur Woods of the war depart
ment, statements relative to the ob
servance of Sunday, May 4. as “em
ployment Sunday.”
Mr. Lane in his statement says:
“The observance of Sunday. May 4, as
‘Employment Sunday* offers a fitting
opportunity to the millions of church
members of this country to demon
strate their realization of our national
responsibility to the soldiers, sailors
and war workers, who made victory
possible. By assisting the United
States employment service and its bu
reau for returning soldiers and sailors
you are doing, in fact, the work of tbs
Lord.”
Delegation to New Orleans.
A statement issued by the South
Carolina Cotton Association says that
the South Carolina delegation to the
Southern cotton convention to be held
at New Orleans on May 14, 15 and 16
will leave Columbia on the aftenioon
of May 12. The delegates from South
Carolina are expected to go in a body.
They will arrive in
Iba night r>f May 13
New Orleans
The delegation from South Carolina
will be composed of Governor Cooper,
Lieutenant Governor Liles of Orange
burg, Commissioner of Agriculture B.
•Harris, J. H. Claffy of Orangeburg. J.
Skottowe Wannamker of St. Matthe»ws,
T. P. Cothran of Greenville, W. L.
â– Gray of barrens; *W-r-Wr-LoHy of Clom

ton. John T. Mackey of Camden, Paul
Sanders of Ritter, William Gifford of

D. Jennings of Sumter, Ira B. Dunlap
of Rock Hill, Dougless McIntyre of
Marion, T. G. McLeod of Bishopvtlls,
H. E. Montgomery of Kingstree, B. H.
Moss of Orangeburg, A. M. Benbow of
Bamberg and C. E. Summers of New
berry. It is expected that all of the
members of the delegation will attend.
“The farmers, merchants, bankers
and business men are continuing to
stand together,” says the statement.
"Desperate efforts have been made to
separate their ranks, but all of them
have proved unavailing. Our ranks
present a solid front. A complete vic
tory is absolutely certain.
. "During the last few days we have
received bulletins from every state in
the cotton belt. All of them are of a
most encouraging nature. The presi
dent of the Louisiana organization re
ports that the reduction of cotton
acreage in that state totals 32 per cent.
All of the other states report a heavy
redtfgfrion,—Texas, the biggest state
in the cotton belt, is assured of a re
duction of ever 30 per cent.”
Cable From the President.
Direct to South Carolinians r from
Woodrow Wilson, president of the
l T nlted States, in Paris, came a cable
gram bearing one word: VCongratu-
lations.”
A few days ago—Monday, to be exact
—Miss Jean Adger Flinn. publicity
eh&irmaiKOf the South Carolina Wo
man’s Liberty Loan Committee, sent to
the president this message:
“South Carolina leads fifth federal
reserve district to organization.
Pledge continued support."
Of sufficient importance did the
president consider this information to
take the time from the multitude of
matters which are pressing him over
there to send a prompt word to the
woman’s committee, and through them,
of course to the Victory bond sellers
and the Victory bond buyers of this
state.
The message was read to the audi
ence at the Columbia theater and re
ceived with enthusiastic applause.
Ihis one word from Woodrow Wilson
in Paris will doubtless furnish no lit
tle inspiration In putting over this
state’s quota hi the Victory loan.
South Carolina is expected to invest
$24:948,000 in these bonds; Richland
county is expected to invest $3,507,400.
"The barrage is down—let’s drive."
To Resist Raise in Rates.
The South Carolina railroad commis
sion will not permit an increase in
the rates on local telephones by the
Southern Bell Telephone ft Telegraph
Company without a contest, stated
Frank W. Shealy, chairman.
A press dispatch printed recently ftn-
nsunced that the Southern Bell Tele
phone ft Telegraph Company had filed
with the Georgia railroad commission
a revised schedule of rates, giving the
company about a 13 per cent increase
in telephone rates on business and
resident telephones. Although the
dispatch said that the schedule had
%een filed in eight other Southern
states and in Indiana and Illinois, the
ro
celved Its copy.
