TO ENFORCE PROHIBITION.
Attorney General Palmer Declares it
His Duty.
Washington, April 27.?Enforcement
of national war time prohibition,
effective next July l, will be undertaken
by the department of justice.
Attorney General Palmer, in a
statement issued tonight, declared J
that "as long as the act remains in I
force under its terms it becomes my
duty to see that it is enforced like
all other laws by the prosecution of
such persons as violate it." The attorney
general further asserted that
he possessed no power to grant amnesty
to any one who might manufacture
beer pending an interpreta-1
tion of the law as to what percentage !
nf alrnhol constituent brings beer j
within the meaning of the prohibi-1
tion act.
The statement of the attorney gen- j
eral definitely settled the q.uestion of j
the agency to take up the enforcement
of the act, which arose when
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Rooper let it be known that his bureau
had neither the funds nor a |
staff available for carrying out the I
act's enforcement. The voluntary assumption
by the attorney genral of
the act's enforcement also relieves
President Wilson of any deliberation
of authority under the Overman act,
which it was thought might be necessary.
After asserting that there "has
been a good deal of misunderstanding
of the plans and purposes of the
/
department of justice" with respect
to enforcement of the act and that
under its terms it is the duty of his
ujk;
( department to eniorce me yiumur
tion law, Mr. Palmer in his statement
said:
Palmer's Statement.
"It is my duty to do this without
any regard whatever for my own
opinion as to the wisdom or unwisdom
of the legislation, which is a
matter entirely for the congress, i
There has naturally been some dift
ferbnce of opinion as to the proper
construction of the act, but the final
word with respect to its interpretation
is with the courts, whose judgment
will, I am sure, be .cheerfully
acquiesced in by all interested involved.
"All the questions involved iri the
interpretation of the law have been
recently argued in a suit pending in
New York. I was glad to co-operate
with the attorneys representing
brewers in an effort to expedite that
case to an authoritative decision, and
I am hopeful that the proper construction
of the law may be settled
by the court before it becomes necessary
for the brewers to determine
without a court decision just how
they shall proceed.
"I have no power to grant amnesty
to any who may see fit to manufacture
beer pending an authoritative
judicial construction of the law,
and I am sure that brewers generally .
understand that the pendency of liti- <
gation will be no protection against j
prosecution for offenses under the i
law."
The Brothers Wesley. ]
f }
There are many unquestionable ex- ]
" amples of an almost instinctive musi- ;
cal genius manifesting itself in early ]
infancy. Probably the most'remark- ]
able of these is the instance of the 1
>
two brothers Wesley?Samuel and
. Charles, occurring as it did in one <
family. 1
Charles Wesley was the son of a I
/well-known Methodist clergyman of <
the same name, and a nephew of the <
better known founder of Methodism, s
He was born at Bristol, England, on <
the 11th of December, in 1757. Near- 1
ly from his birth his mother used to s
quiet him and amuse him with her i
harpsichord. Even before he could <
speak his musical ear was so nice
that he would not permit his mother J
to play with one hand only, but J
would take the other and place it on 1
the keys. 5
Soon attempting to play himself, 1
Charles Wesley's mother used to tie 1
him in a chair at the harpsichord, 5
where he would amuse himself for (
hours together. When only two years and
nine months old, he astonished '
his parents by playing a tune in cor- 1
reef time. Soon afterwards he could (
play any air he chanced to hear, with 5
a true bass added, as if spontaneously
without study or hesitation. He <
then seemed to have little respect or reverence
for any one not a musi- 1
cian. When asked to play for a 1
stranger, he would inquire, in his ^
vi.ii.iu.ioii, jjiai-iic, is) utr ct uiusitvci .
and, if the answer were in the affirm- 1
ative, he would run to the instru- '
ment with ready eagerness. !
Samuel Wesley was born in 1766, !
and evinced a talent for music al- !
most as early as his elder brother 1
Charles. He could play a tune when 1
but two years and eleven months old, '
and could put a correct bass to airs :
long before he had acquired a knowledge
of musical notation. He con\

DISCUSSES FEDERAL ROAD AID.
Orangeburg Citizens Consider Clans
to Secure Funds.
Orangeburg, April 2t>.?A meeting
of the good roads advocates of Orangeburg*
county was held at the
courthouse here yesterday afternoon
at t? o'clock. The meeting was called
by J. J. Mackay, chairman oj. the
county board of commissioners, to
discuss plans to make promptly available
$125,000 federal aid for roads
in the county. Those present appeared
to be enthusiastic over the enterprise.
The meeting was presided over by I
Senator Edward F. Friday. Instructive
and interesting addresses were
delivered by Senator E. D. Smith,
Congressman Asbury F. Lever and
F. H. Murray of the State highway
department. "
Lieut. Gov. .J. T. Lues onereci resolutions
that sentiment was overwhelmingly
in favor of good roads
and that the federal government had
made appropriations available dependent
upon similar sums from localities
and that the Orangeburg delegation
be requested to pledge themselves
to provide the necessary levy
to raise by taxation $100,000 to We
used with the $25,000 now available
from automobile license fees in making
permanent such highways as are
in the opinion of the State highway
commission the most important. This
resolution was carried.
The members of the legislative delegation
were present and asked to
express their views. Senator Friday '
and Representative Berry expressed
themselves as ready for the enterprise,
while Representatives H. P.
Fulmer and Whetsell Dukes were not
so complete in their agreement. Another
meeting will soon be called to
organize the Orangeburg County
Good Roads association.
Pride That Went Before a Fall.
Of the innumerable stories told of
/
the ex-Kaiser's vanity, none surpasses
one concerning a little incident
that took place on board a British
war-ship a few years agp. The
recently deposed emperor was being
entertained at dinner during a visit
to the British fleet, and when smoking
began, took up a cigar and looked
round for a cigar cutter. One not
being handy, an officer immediately
offered him a penknife, which William
used and returned with the
solemn remark, "Keep it, *and guard
it well; one day it will be historic."

"Why don't you get out and hustle?

stantly attended his brother, playing
or rather making believe to play, on
a. chair or table, while Charles played
the harpsichord. With the advantage
of such an example, he s4on outstripped
his brother. He learned to
read from the words of songs in music
books, and could compose music
long before he could write. At the
ige of eight years he surprised the
musical world by an oratorio, entirely
his own composition, which he entitled
"Ruth."
As not unfrequently happens in
%ases of premature development, the
flattering promises of youth were not
fulfilled, at least, in riper years. Aftsr
attaining a certain degree of excellence
as a performer, lie remained
stationary; none of his compositions
?ver soared above mediocrity, and
;he height of his eminence was the
appointment as organist of the fashionable
church of St. George's, Han)ver
Square.
Samuel Wesley attained much
prater eminence, both in point of
musical and general acquirement. He
svas possessed by an absorbing passion
for music, but this did not present
him ffom becoming in addition,
i good Greek, Latin and Italian
scholar at a very early age. Sheri- .
Ian said of him: "I am no judge of
Mr. Wesley's musical abilities, but I
will venture to assert that his intellectual
powers and education would
enable him to distinguish himself in
mv walk of life."
These brilliant prospects were
Mouded by an unhappy misfortune.
Mr. Wesley one night accidentally
fell into an excavation for building
purposes, that had shamefully been
left unguarded, in one of the London
streets. The effects of this fall depressed
his mental energies; for
seven years he remained in a low despondent
state of mind, refusing the
solace even of his beloved art. He
subsequently experienced several re?overies
and relapses, before being
finally relieved by death. He. however,
composed a complete cathedral
service for the Church of England, on
which his fame as a musician now
principally rests.

Set them working right with Doan's
Kidney Pills.
Here is Bamberg proof of their
merit.
L. B. Fowler, contractor and builder,
Church St., says: "I have found
Doan's Kidney Pills to be a mighty
fine kidney and bladder medicine and
have told a great many people to
try them. Some eight years ago 1
was in awful shape with my kidneys.
The action of these organs was scanty
and weak and the secretions unnatural
and highly colored. Nights
I had to get trp several times and
mornings I felt all tired out and weak.
My sleep didn't seem to refresh me
any. I was in a bad shape. My
back was as stiff as leather and so
lame thati couldn't bend over. My
kidneys i&urt ail the time and were
in an awful poor condition. I started
to take Doan's Kidney Pills and they
were what my kidneys needed, for
they rid me of all this trouble and
fixed me up In A-l shape again."
