House Receives Favorable Report on
Constitutional Amendment.
Washington, Feb. 15.?Prohibition
took a step forward today in both
branches of congress.
In the senate drastic amendments
to the postal appropriation bill were
agreed to making criminal the importation
of liquor into States which
prohibit its manufacture and sale
for beverage purposes and which exclude
liquor advertisements from the
mails in States which legislate
against such advertising. On the
house side the national prohibition
constitutional amendment was favorably
reported from the judiciary
mmmittpp with a Drediction bv Chair
man Webb that it would be passed
within a week. Champions of prohibiten
greeted this announcement
with enthusiasm in spite of their
realization that passage in the house
will end action on the amendment in
so far as this session of congress is
concerned. There is no thought of
action by the senate before March 4,
when the Sixty-fourth congress dies.
The amendment to the postoffice
appropriation bill to make it a crime
to ship liquor into prohibition States
was added bv Senator Reed, of Mis?
* '
souri, to the Jones amendment barring
newspaper or other publications
or letters and postal cards contain-1
ing liquor advertisements from the
mails in States which have laws
against such advertising. It was
adopted after brief debate by a vote
of 45 to 11 by the senate sitting as
a committee of the whole.
The Reed amendment, which
awaits final vote in the senate is as
follows.
"Whoever shall order, purchase or
cause intoxicating liquors to be
transported in interstate commerce
except for scientific, sacramental,
medicinal or mechanical, purposes into
any State or territory the laws of
which State or territory prohibit the
manufacture and sale for beverage
purposes shall be punished by a fine
of not more than $1,000, or imprisoned
not more than six months, or
both and for any subsequent offense
shall be imprisoned not more than
one year."
The effect of this provision if finally
accepted by the senate and agreed
by the house will be to make all pro
hibition States "bone dry." It will
operate against provisions in various
States permitting importation of limited
amounts of liquor for individual
consumption.
The original Jones amendment to
bar newspaper and other liquor advertisements
from the mails in States
providing anti-liquor advertising laws
attaches the same penalties as provided
in the Reed amendment. Under
this provision no newspaper,
pamphlet, letter, postal card, circular
or publication of any kind containing
liquor advertisements could
be mailed into dry States. To prevent
prosecution of innocent persons
the measures explicitly state that
"if the publisher of any newspaper
or other publication or the agent of
such publication or if any dealer in
such liquors or his agent shall know
inglv" cause liquor advertisements
to be mailed in violation of the proposed
law, he shall be guilty of violating
the law.
Representative Randall, of California,
announced the passage of the
Jones amendment in the house late
today and gave notice that he would
ask the house to concur in the
amendment when the bill is returned
from the senate.
Four Hundred Subs Taken.
Baltimore, Feb. 16.?William Pal
mer, second engineer of the American
transport liner Mongolia, which
arrived here today from Plymouth,
England, via New York, said he saw
the merchant submarine Deutschland
and 186 other German underwater
boats in Plymouth harbor. Palmer
asserted that the British had captured
400 enemy u-boats and that
187 of them were chained together
in Plymouth harbor. Capt. Koenig,
commander, and the Deutschland s
crew are in English jails, the engineer
said. Palmer formerly was
employed by the Chesapeake Steamship
company, which operates steamers
between this port and Norfolk.
He said he did not learn how the
Deutschland was captured.

MUDDLE SEEMS CLEARED.
Fire Insurance Situation Probably
Soon Normal Again.
Columbia, Feb. 17.?Six of the
"Seven sisters," as the series of bills
to clear up the fire insurance muddle
and bring the companies back into
South Carolina, are known, have
passed the legislature. The remaining
one, that repealing the valued
policy law, passed the house and was
on third reading in the senate, but
on account of the short time remaining
for this session that bill was continued
until next session.
The rating bill, probably the most
important of the series, has been
signed by Governor Manning. It
goes into effect on March 5, and its
importance is already shown by the
fact that several of the fire insurance
companies which last year withdrew
from the State are making prepara
tions to re-open business here.
The act limiting the municipal license
tax on fire insurance companies
to 2 per cent., except in
Charleston, where it is 5 per cent., is
now in Governor Manning's office and
will be signed in a few days. The
other four, the fire inquest law, making
the insurance commissioner attorney
for service of suits against
companies, the building code and the
agents' qualification act, have passed
both houses of the legislature and
only await formal ratification before
being ready for the signature of the
governor. They will be signed by
the governor without delay.
It is understood that, while the
companies were very anxious to have
the valued policy repeal enacted into
law, as they felt this would reduce
the fire loss, still the majority of
j them will return to business in South
i Carolina under the six bills enacted
into law. This information has come
from one high in authority of the
| companies and further it is known
that several are now making preparaj
tions to resume business in the State.
The clearing'up of the fire insurance
muddle is largely due to Governor
Manning's efforts and the work
of the special commission, consisting
of Senator Laney, Representative
| Moise, Messrs. A. G. Furman, L. M;
Pinckney, Bright Williamson, J. D.
Harris, E. P. McCravey, J. W. Gaston
' and Insurance Commissioner F. H.
McMaster. They worked hard and
I faithfully on the situation and were
J inspired only by patriotic motives.
Credit is also due to the tact and
generous as well as broad-minded assistance
rendered by Mr. J. H. Doyle,
of New York, attorney for the National
Board of Fire Underwriters. Mr.
Doyle unselfishly placed himself at
the disposal of the commission and
the legislature and made a splendid
impression and was in a large measure
responsible for the happy solution
of the problems.
There is every reason to believe
that the situation is now cleared and
that South Carolina will have adequate
fire insurance protection.
FOLLOW UP OR FALL BACK.
Periodic Brilliancy Does Not Win
Success in Real Life.
How common it is in games of
foot ball, base ball and other sports
that some quick thinking player
dashes off a thrilling play only to
fall back for the remainder of the
game into obscurity and be forgotten?and
for no other reason than
that he failed to follow up.
Periodic brilliancy is not success.
Follow up. When you think a
worthy thought, follow it up. When
you do a useful thing, follow it up.
When you strike an effective blow for
a right cause, follow it up. It's the
man with the courage, first to start a
thing, and then to follow it up that
after awhile has an accumulation of
poinis mat stamp 111m great, ana masterful.
Follow up or else you will
fall back.
The great man is simply the small
man become great. Every great man
at some time or other is the unknown,
obscure man. Make your
life count by compelling every single
effort to figure in the annual
summing up. For, after all, success
itself is nothing more or less than
work well performed and followed
up day after day, year after year.
Persist, follow up, keep at it.?

THE TEST Of MERIT
[
Bamberg People Are Given Convinc|
ing Proof.
| No better test of any article can
be made than the test of time and
this is particularly true of a kidney
medicine. Doan's Kidney Pills have
stood this test and stood it well.
What better proof of merits of this
remedy could you demand, than the
| statement of a Bamberg resident who
used is successfully and tells of lasting
results.
Read the following:
E. Dickinson, jailor, Rice St., Bamberg,
says: "I was subject to severe
! backaches and my kidneys did not
act regularly. The kidney secretions
were unnatural and irregular in passage.
I sued Doan's Kidney Pills,
procured at the People's Drug Store,
and they benefited me greatly. They
regulated the action of my kidneys
and removed the lameness and soreness
in my back." (Statement given
January 26. 1911.)
NO TROUBLE SlINULi.
On May 29, 1914, Mr. Dickinsou
said "The cure Doan's Kidney Pills
made for me some years ago is still
lasting. My back is now strong and
my kidneys act regularly."
