REFERENDUM BILL.
Prohibition Measure To Third Read
inji, J)!) to 17.
Columbia, Jan. 28. ? It was just a
expected. The house by an over
whelming vote of !?'.< to 17 passed t
third reading the Stale-wide prohibi
tion referendum proposition. Th
opponents of the measure range1
around thirty votes, at high wale
mark, but on the final passage of th
bill showed a smaller vote. On sug
gestions that tlie time for the elec
tion be deterred and on recognizin
county expressions there were twen
ty-nine votes east, but at all time
there was not a shadow of doubt a
to what the house would do with th
State-wide bill. If there was to b
an effective fight it was all along at
predated that it would be on the sen
ate side, where the county entit
counts for more than on the hous
and the one senator from a count
has an.equivalent vote to that of
county with half dozen members i
the houses.
Those who opposed the referen
dum, however, made a good, clea
fight, no filibuster, but just plain at
gument that was without avail. Th
fight for the referendum bill starte
at about 10:30 o'clock and by dinne
time the measure had been ordere
to its third reading, with four rol
calls intervening.
First in a Generation.
This is the first time in a genera
tion that any such important liquo
legislation has been passed withou
some sort of legislative delay or mor
or less acrimonious fight. Ther
were quite a number of really fin
speeches made pro and con on th
bill. Mr. McMahan, of Columbia; Mi
Searson, of Barnwell: Mr. .Moise, o
Sumter; .Mr. Fromberg. of Charles
ton: Mr. Muldrow, of Florence; Mi
Momeier, of Charleston: Mr. King
of Georgetown; Mr. Harris, of Green
ville: Mr. Beckett, of Beaufort, a'
joined in fighting the bill either i:
phases or as a whole, but were help
less as well as hopeless in this par
ticular fight, so strong was the cut
rent in favor of the passage of th
referrendum idea.
Arguing in favor of the electio
and for State-wide prohibition wer
such forces as Mr. Liles and Mr. Fri
day, of Orangeburg; Mr. Warren, c
Hampton; Mr. Smith, of Colletoi
and Mr. McCullough, of GreenvilU
who speaks seldom, but forcefully.
Some of those who opposed the bil
did so on certain features. Mr. Hat
ris wanted coca-cola treated as liquoi
Mr. Beckett and Mr. Moise mad
. their chief fight along the line- o
county individuality and home rul
for the several counties and to liav
the county vote effective as agains
the State-wjde sweep.
This was about the only importan
matter acted upon today. ' The "ac
ministration'" tax commission meas
ure was presented during the morr
ing.
Vote for Referendum.
The final question was whether th
bill should be ordered to its thir
reading and the State-wide prohib
tion referendum was given the secon
reading by the overwhelming vote c
99 to 17, the record being as follows

WAR'S 1>K(K?ISKSS.
Review of Events in European Conflict
of the Week.
Though the military situatioc
;eenis to retain the general charactei
>f a deadlock, the past week has witlessed
events of importance in manj
)arts of the European theatre of war
Perhaps the most important of these
lave occurred along the mountainous
torder line separating Bukowina and
fransylvania. The Russians, a!read>
n complete control of the formei
Province, have captured the passe.eading
into Transylvania and are retorted
to be in position to carry oul
in invasion of that territory in large
force?a move which, if it is successul,
would probably bring Roumanis
nto the war.
Next in interest to this Russian at
:empt at an invasion of Austria-Hun
;ary stands the German success neai
Soissons. Here a determined offen
jive by Gen. Von Kluck, aided, ac
wording to French accounts, by i
freshet in the Aisne river in th<
rear of the French positions, has re
suited in the recapture by the Ger
mans of strong positions taken b>
:he French north of the Aisne. Ii
is clear that in these operation!
neavv losses were inflicted upon th<
lilies and ground has been taker
from them which they had won a
:he cost of much blood and effort
rhere is apparently little likelihooc
:hat the German success at Soisson:
" ill CliaUID lilU VJtl lliuuo vv tv?uuv.
from this point another fierce offen
;ive drive. The victory, however, i;
probably of large importance since
it deprives the French of a vantage
point from which they might latei
on have thrust at the German line:
n such a manner as to threaten the
Herman communications.
In Poland there seems to have
oeen no important change during the
oast week. Siege warfare, hamper
?d by bitter weather, is in progress
:here, and while Von Hindenbert
seems to have pushed no nearer t<
Warsaw, he has at least held his
own. A Russian invasion of Eas
Prussia is said to threaten the com
munications of the main Germai
irmies in Poland and, if successful
might force their withdrawal. Bu
the Russians have had pretty bat
luck every time they have enteret
East Prussia during the past fivi
months and there seems to be n<
good reason for supposing that then
Will De anoiner siory lo ien una umc
Southward towards Cracow and ii
Central Galicia little seems to be go
ing on so far as one may judge fron
the reports. Following the break
down of the Austrian offensive move
ments northward from the Carpathi
ans. there was much talk of a stronf
Russian invasion or Hungary by wa;
of the Carpathian passes. This ha
not vet materialized. It appears pos
sible that the Russians are delayinj
this blow until their stroke througl
Transylvania has made further prog
ress.
Though reports are conflicting, i
is clear that the Turkish forces ii
the Caucasus region have suffere<
?evere reverses at the hands of th<
Russians. In view of this and ii
view of the feeling of uncertaint:
which seems to prevail at Constanti
nople, regarding the safety of th<
Dardanelles, which have been unde
attack by the allied fleet, some skep
ticism is natural concerning the re
ports of a serious Turkish invasioi
of Egypt. On the other hand, th<
stragetic importance of the Sue
Canal would tempt the Turks t<
strike a blow in this direction i
they could possibly do so.
The most spectacular, and in sorm
respects the most interesting, even
of the past week was the Germai
aircraft raid on English towns ii
Norfolk. This daring exploit accom
plished little in the way of materia
damage inflicted upon the British
The number of persons killed is va
riously estimated at this writing a
from five to ten, some of them wo
men, and the property damagei
seems to have included no structur
of military value. The failure o
the raid to accomplish more note
worthy results seems on the face o
it to indicate that the British peo
pie have little to Year from attack
by way of the air. On the other ham
this raid may turn out to have beei
in the nature of a reconnoissance am
it may be followed later by a mor
formidable attack. The fact that al
the attacking aircraft returned safel
to their base is an interesting featur
of the affair.
Started Something.
Here is a stray bit of poetry tha
has broken into the newspaper firm
anient within the last few days:
"There was an old man and he ha<
a wooden leg;
He had no money, and he didn'
want to beg,
So he got two spools, and an old ti:
can?
Made a little Ford, and the dar
thing ran."
