"Forty-three places have discontinued the illicit sale and all others have been driven to cover and now resort to the hip pocket practice and only keep sufficient stuff on the premises to supply the immediate demands; they replenish their stock from private residences in the locality under cover, but by continually raiding them, they will eventually have to go out of business. "This department has conscientiously enforced the law and will continue to do so even though it overtaxes the department by drafting men from the line of protection to the public, in its endeavors to enforce the law; therefore I will respectfully request the appointment of five additional men. Trusting you will approve of same, I am Yours respectfully, "JAMES R. CANT WELL. "Chief of Police." TRUST THE PRESIDENT. South Carolina Has "Unshaken Faith" in Wilson. Columbfa, May 8.?In commenting on the sinking of the Lusitania, Governor Manning cautions the people of the State to be calm and trust in President Wilson. In answer to telegrams from Northern papers asking for the sentiment of the people of this State on the disaster, the Governor replied as follows: "South Carolina is shocked at the sinking of the Lusitania by a German submarine. While for the moment patience strains, President Wilson's poise and wisdom have our unshaken faith. We advise the people to be calm and trust the President. His information will be ample and his judgment dependable. The people of South Carolina sustain him, whatever the event and whatever the cause." Governor Manning to-night received a telegram from the Chicago Tribune asking for the sentiment of the people of South Carolina on the sinking of the Lusitania. "Wilson says war is up to the people," stated the telegram. Governor Manning replied with the same dispatch as above. ^ . SAW VAXDERBILT OX SHIP. # * i Xew Yorker Says Millionaire Gave Up His Life Belt. London, May 9.?Thomas Slidell, of New York, who was interviewed in London to-day, said he saw Alfred G. Vanderbilt on the deck of the Lusitania as the vessel was going down. " * Mr. Vanderbilt, who could not swim, was equipped with a life belt, Mr. Slidell said, but he gallantly took it off and placed it around a young woman. Then he went off to seek another life belt. The ship sank a few seconds later. Mr. Slidell said that he and Herbert Stone, of New York, were sitting in the smoking room by themselves when the first torpedo struck the ship. Both men intuitively knew what had happened and they simultaneously uttened the word "torpedo." Together they left the room and went on deck, which had acutely tilted. Mr. Stone made for the upper side of the deck while Mr. Slidell moved downward. This was the last that Mr. Slidell saw of Mr. Stone. Subsequently he asked a number of survivors, but could not find any one who had seen \ .Mr. Stone thereafter. l*ractical Willie.
