Hoke Smith Euggests Reprisals. England Must Let Cotton Ships go.. Washington April 28. ? Senator Hoke Smith, after a call at the state department today, declared that unless the cotton ships from the United States now held in English ports 'were allowed to proceed to their destinations, Great Britain "would pay very heavy damages." He said detention of the ships was in direct contravention to the right of the United States to carry on trade with j _ i 1 HHUr.7. IS. "Purchase of tho cargoes will not relieve the situation," said Mr Smith. "England has no right to tlie cotton and she has no right to interfere with American commerce." An embargo on the articles EngU nd hcrsclfs needs would bring Great Britain to terms, the senator declared." -o ? 101, He Never Worried.

SEVEN JISPENSARIES EVIOENTLY BENEFITTED * 1 ??? V 3y Law Enforcement in City of Charleston and New Law SALES INCREASING barge Quantities of Contraband Liquors Must be Turned Into Drains. (Evening Post.) Whether or not the enforcement of i the gallon-a-month liquor law enacted during the recent session of the South Carolina Legislature, and the raiding of blind tigers in Charleston city and county have directly affected the sales of liquor by the Charleston v-ountv dispensary can not be dofmiteiy stated. At any rate, sales showed a narked increase since the last week f March, and thai they are contin! uing to increase proportionately. While figures for April business of this year are not yet available, it is believed they will show sales double in volume those of Ap 1, 11)14. Larg,v quantities of miscellaneous livjUors and beers have been turned ver to the county dispensary by the I ity and c unty police authorities.

It is un lerstood that such a destruction of re cent date included 127 gallons of mis cellanCous liquors. Several years ago it will be recall ed that seizures of contraband liquor reached a total sufficient to pay all expenses of the cinstahulary. At that time a single year's resales net ted a profit of $3,000 after application 1 to stipulated maintenance. i In recent years seizures have been light and an actual annual deficit of from $1,000 to $2,000 in the consta bulary expenses has been known to occur. On the basis of the present seiz ures it is generally believed that con traband sales will realize considerable ' sums, all profits going into the gen oral fund of the dispensary. o I Ar??
