Warning From Roper. Must Be No Profiteering in Sales for Medical Purposes, Says Commissioner. Washington, Jan. ,29.?Methods by (vhich intoxicating liquors may be obtained for medical purposes and detailed regulations governing their sale were made public tonight by the bureau of internal revenue. Annannoflmont olcrv was ma Ha that the I . bureau had compiled a system of permits, providing a definite and fixed channel through which all intoxicating liquors must move, and by which I hereafter the government will know I the location of every gallon of dis& tilled liquor within the nation's B boundaries except that stored in priB vate homes. , B In setting forth the ways in which HE liquor may be procured, Commissioner Roper took occasion to issue warning against profieteering in its sale. The commissioner declared that exiorbitant charges for liquor for medicinal purpose "certainly places the dispensers thereof in the class with ' profiteers and they will be investigated." Mr. Roper also announced that all liquor seized under federal law prior to last October 28, unless claimed under the 60 day ruling, would be sold by otfder of the court under the jurisdiction of which it is held. It must be sold, however, to a holder of permit to use it whether for medicinal or non beverage purposes. Two Permits Needed. Both the physician who prescribes ?J nVn?Tnonicif nrVln colic 11A11 AT* AUU UiC ^uai ULifi?Vi(7i f*UW OVA1M the regulations provide, must have a permit which may be obtained from the federal prohibition director. Other details of the method by which liquor for medicinal purposes may be purchased follow: Any physician duly licensed to practice general medicine and actively engaged in the practice of such profession may obtain a permit to prescribe intoxicating liquor and may ob; tain a permit to prescribe liquor and : may then issue prescriptions for (distilled spirits, wines or certain alcoholic medicinal preparations for medicinal purposes for persons upon whom he is in attendance in cases where he believes that the use of liquor as a medicine is necessary. In no case may spirituous liquor be prescribed by one or more physicians in excess of one pint for the same person within any period of ten days. "All prescriptions for intoxicating liquor are required to be written on blanks prescribed by the bureau except that in emergency cases physicians may use their regular prescription blanks. Through Regular Channels. "Prescriptions for intoxicating liquor may be filled only by registered pharmacists who hold permits authorizing them to do so, or who are employed by retail druggists holding such permits.

"Physicians may also obtain permits entitling them to procure not more than six quarts of distilled spirits, wines or certain alcoholic preparations during any calendar year for administrations to their patients in emergency cases where delay in procuring liquor on a prescription through a pharmacist might have serious consequent to the patient. "Proviso is also made in the regulations for issuing permits to hospitals and sanatoriums to enable them to procure intoxicating liquor to be administered for medical purposes to patients at such institutions and also for issuing permits to manufacturing, ^.gtpdustrial and other establishments maintaining first aid stations, auf ' rthorizing them to procure such liquor for administration to their employees for medicinal purposes in emergency cases." m n> The Herald Book Store carries the largest stock of tablets, pencils memorandum books, and school supplies in Bamberg county. . . / LOOK AT YOUR LABEL!

Dr. Louis D. Barbot Convicted of Violation of Narcotic Act. Columbia, Jan. 10.?Judge Henry A. M. Smith, in the federal court here tonight, refused a plea of Mayor John P. Grace, of Charleston, that he grant a new trial to Dr. Louis D. Barbot, of Charleston, convicted here last Monday by a jury in the federal court of violation of the Harrison anti-narcotic act. The specific charge was that he had administered the habitforming drug to fourteen addicts between July 1, 1918, and October 16, 1919. Judge Smith, however, after he had ^ead a peititon signed by 250 prominent citizens of Charleston, among them Dr. Wilson, dean of the State ?1 TT? i+nnpn f AT? fVlO chuckle to permeate the nation and has been the cause of a deal of humorous comment in the press and the lobbies of congress at the expense of the dignified senate of South Carolina. When the report was read in the house there was a broad smile on the plebian faces of the members, and their vote for rejection was given with gusto. It was a chance to get back at the upper body for the way in which it has treated the appropriation bill in former years. Mixed. "And what did you most enjoy in France, madam?" he inquired of the lady whose husband had made a great deal of new money. "Well, I think it was the French pheasants singing the 'Mayonnaise'." SIMS AND KNIGHT SCORED BY GERARD DECLARES WOULD HAVE DUMPED CRITICISING ADMIRALS. Says Daniels Too Easy. Navy Ross Declares American People Will Keep Faith With Alliens. New York, Feb. 1.?The jDast year for the United States has been one "of piddling and delay" and was characterized as "the tragedy of tragedies" by Secretary of the Navy Daniels, who addressed the opening meeting here today of the campaign for the Near East Relief fund. Although America had not kept faith with the Allies, he ? ? + fViA said, ne naa couuueuue mai American people would do their duty. "One of the beliefs that carried us into the war," added Secretary Daniels, "was that small peoples have the righx to liberty and to control their own destinities. Shall America alone fail now in sustaining that principle? I do not believe it, I am confident that the American people will respond to this call. Give to Armenia present relief from the perils of starvation and then provide for the freedom of the country from the rule of the Turk. They will respond to this call as they have responded to every call made upon them since April 6, 1917." Defends Navy Action. Secretary Daniels in speaking of the navy said that the popular idea of the navy was that it only exists as a fighting machine. This, he added, is its chief mission, but if it had not proved a powerful agency in protecting the people and upholding the dignitv of the flae: at all times it had failed of its mission. In the war, he declared, it had proved its worth, and had done its full share in bringing about peace. There was nothing the matter with the American navy during the war, James W. Gerard, former ambassador to Germany, said in a brief address. Too Good Natured.* "The trouble with the secretary is that he is too good natured," added Mr. Gerard. "If I had been secretary of the navy and a bunch of admirals or any body else had formed a soviet board of criticism, I would have had them on the slide and their heads in the basket inside of twenty-four hours." Capt. George B. Hyde, a Near East. Relief worker, told of horrible conditions and suffering in Armenia and charged that the Turkish leaders were still attempting "to wipe out the Armenian people." There has already been $1,000,000 subscribed to the relief fund in New York city, it was announced during the meeting. CREDIT FOR FOOD RELIEF. House Greatly Reduces Sum, However.?Now Fifty Millions. .Washington, Jan. 30.?Republican mentbers of the house ways and means committee in conference late today informally agreed to favor authorizing the treasury to extend additional credits of $50,000,000 to certain European countries for food relief. Poland, Armenia and Austria were included in the original proposal of Secretary Glass, since supported in a letter from President Wilson, for ' credits of $150,000,000 later reduced ' to $125,000,000 by Mr. Glass. Leading Democratic committeemen, including Representative Kitchen, North Carolina, and Garner, Texas, who were among the first to suggest the $50,000,000 as a maximum authorization, are counted on by the Republican members to support the $50,000,000 loan, which also has the approval of some members of the Re1 publican steering committee. While no agreement was attempted ' at either of the conferences to determine whether the legislation shall 1 specify the countries to get the loans, ! some effort in this direction may be made at the ways and means committee meeting tomorrow. Confidential information received by committeemen through channels ' was understood to the effect that European countries including France and England, could not be expected I to contribute a renei iunci ior ausi tria, their inclination being to aid ! Poland in its fight against the Rus; sian Bolshevik government. ! > ? , Ready Reckoners on sale at the 1 Herald Book Store. lilt; 111 (J a. I I'UUCgCi a rv i lu^oo iui luv government in the case, asking that he suspend sentence and give Dr. Barbot a nominal fine which he could pay, stated that he desired to think overnight on the kind of sentence he will administer. He will deliver his decision in the morning. Mayor Grace pleaded for extreme leniency for his client, claiming that although he had been adjudged gutlty of violating the law, he was conscious of his innocence, in that he administered the arugs to addicts in the cause of humanity to alleviate their sufferings. He likewise stated that should Dr. Barbot be incarcerated a large practice among the poorer class of people of Charleston would suffer which was largely a charitable practice by the convicted physician. Judge Smith stated from the bench that a friend of his in whose judgment he would place implicit confidence told him previous to the commencement of the present case that Dr. Barbot was a man of the kindest disposition, one who had an extensive practice among the poor of Charleston, and the poorest of them, who had no chance of paying physician fees, got as good treatment and as much consideration from him as those who were willing and able to pay. ??_- t Dr. Barbot was sentenced by Judge Smith to pay a $1,000 fine and serve three months in the Florence county jail. Smoking Measure Rejected by House. Columbia, Jan. 28.?The house of representatives this morning rejected without a dissenting vote the bill passed several days ago by the senate prohibiting smoking in the dining rooms of hotels, in cafes, restaurants and other public eating places in the State. The unfavorable report of the committee on judiciary, as soon as it was read, was unanimously adopted and the measure was rejected. The passage of this measure, which was sponsored by Senator Padgett, of Colleton, has caused an editorial REAL ESTATE ACTIVITY. Record of Deeds Recorded in Office of Clerk of Court.

Adjournment to Tuesday Evening. The first thing the State senate did Friday was to adopt without a dissenting vote the favorable report of resolution pledging an appropriation of 2150.000 to fight the boll weevil. The resolution is as follows: "Whereas, the boll weevil has entered this state doing serious damage in coastal section during the last year, and "Whereas, the pest is rapidly spreading over the entire State, and "Whereas, the anti-boll weevil association, representing various organs izations and interests over the entire State recommend combined effort as th? only method of saving our people from severe loss, and "Whereas, the said association suggest the creation of a boll-weevil fund to be disbursed by Clemson college, the only agency now equipped to take immediate action, in employing experts to direct our people along lines that have proven effective is all pest ridden sections, and "Whereas, the need of a guarantee of these funds immediately is imperative, to the end that the work may be done at once; "Therefore, be it resolved by the senate, the house of representatives uuiiuuiiiiig, iuai wc jjicuso uui^cn^o to make an appropriation at the present session of $150,000 to defray the expense of this work." Senator Banks, of Calhoun, asked for immediate consideration. Senator Laney was somewhat skeptical about the necessity for the appropriation because he thought Clem-1 son college could take ca/e of the situation but he would not oppose the j appropriation. Senator Johnstone, of Newberry, said that the resolution was an unusual one but an \inusual condition existed. The State was confronted by a calamity and unusual methods must be used to meet it. Clemson college had done well but the appropriation of $150,000 was necessary to carry on the work. Ajnong the new bills introduced was one by Senator Padgett, providing for an appropriation of $600,000 for the new Citadel building and porviding for the sale of the old buildings. Trinity M.

South Carolina Congressman Bitterly Attacks Admiral. Washington.?Rear Admiral Sims, a leading figure in the naval decorations controversy and in the pending , senate investigation of the navy's conduct of the war, was vigorously attacked Tuesday in the house of rep-, resentatives Tuesday by Representative Byrnes, democrat, South Carolina. Declaring that if the admiral was admonished by a high naval official not to let the "British pull the wool" over his eyes as he testified recently before the senate naval decorations committee he violated a confidence in making the instruction public, Representative Byrnes said he deserved "the condemnation of every American and a dishonorable discharge from the navy." Characterizing Admiral Sims as a "hyphenated politician," Mr. Byrnes charged that when serving as commander of American naval forces in European waters during th9 war he had "libeled the army and deprecated the work of the navy," and had urged that the United States leave the con trol of the seas to Great Britain. "While in Paris on October 30, 1918," said Mr. Byrnes, "Admiral , Sims told Representatives Glass, of Virginia, Whaley, of South Carolina, and myself that the armistice asked for by the enemy would have to be granted because of the failure of Pershing to break through the German ranks, due to the disastrous breakdown in transportation behind the American lines. We visited the headquarters of the service of supply and found that only a few days previous Pershing had written the S. O. S. congratulating them upon their won-' derful work in supplying the forces < in the field. His statement was false, and for4 his inexcusable slander he should be made to answer to the American doughboy. "He not only libeled the army, but he deprecated the work of the navy," continued Mr. Byrnes, who read a copy of The London Times quoting a speech of Admiral Sims, giving credit to the British for transporting and convoying twice as many American troops and merchant ships to Europe during the war as did the American, navy, and declaring that only 3 per cent of the anti-submarine craft in European waters was American. "This speech," Representative 'Byrnes continued, "was false from beginning to end. Sims was so busy fighting the war over the dining tables of London that he did not know how many vessels he had under his command. "His statement that we had transported only one-third of our troops was false. "His statement that we had escorted but one-half of our troops was equally false. "His statement that we had only escorted only one-third of the merchant vessels that come here was false. "Having visited the battlefields of Ypres and the grand fleet during the war, I was impressed with the magnificent part played by British arms in the war and nothing this hyphenated politician could say will either add to or detract from the glory of the English people. His efforts to flatter them by slandering the army and navy of the United States will meet with the contempt of every true Englishman as it does with every true American. j lot on Carroll Heights for $50.
