p???? mmm? , MANNIN6 MEANS THAT v; LAWS BE ENFORCED He Provides Sheriff Martin of Charleston With Special * Nm- ConstahlAs ,rr ? w.i*jr"?>vv "* EXPLAINS WHY HE TAKES THIS COURSE Charleston Would Have Been ^ T * Left to Police if Conditions Satisfactory. Governor Richard I. Manning has evidently intended all along that the whiskey laws in the city of Charles^ ton should be enforced, provided any means in his power could accomplish that end. It became Known last week that in furthering the campaign for law enforcement in Charleston 1"/C had decided to furnish the sheriff oi f that county, J. Elmore Martin, with a few constables. Following is the statement issued from the executive . ? offices; * "Saturday I wrote the following letter to Sheri J. Elmore Martin, Charleston: " 'I require and direct you as sher iff of the county of Charleston to enforce the laws with reference to the sale of liquors in the city of Charleston as well as in the county of Charleston. You will please confer with! K me in regard to the force you think necessary. 1 want results.' "To enable him to do this work, I decided to furnish him with a few constables, as his regular deputies were not enough to do this additional work. I expect him to direct the movements of these constables and to see that they do their duty. "This will in no way absolve the municipal authorities from enforcing* the law against the illicit sale of liquor in their ^ity. Heretofore it has been a custom in Charleston to divide the county between the municipal authorities and the sheriff, the police having charge of the city, the sheriff having charge of the country districts! I would be disposed to conform to this # custom if conditions resulting from; su^h a division had been satisfactory. "The act authorizes and conditions make it necessary that this arrangement be changed. It was, therefore, wii men. ciceuuiit i requested and required sheriff Martin to see that these constables under this direction do j their duty in suppressing the illicit j Y sale of liquor in the city as well as in the country. I told Sheriff Martin that the responsibility was mine and that I expected a strict compliance by. him and his men and that they should proceed to carry out my instructions. "I took this step, as I was forced tc the conclusion that permanent results were not being obtained in Charleston. 9 ?? Threatened With Extinction. According to the report of the U. S.

Okla., the clapper fell out of the bell, striking hjm upon the head. He died Sunday night. Chris. Wobler, who was burricd in Hopkins, Frankfort Ky? weighed 420 pounds. The largest stock casket, three feet wide, wan too small to hold the body so a special coffin had to be built. It was impossible to get this coffin inside the church at Hopkins. It took twelve pail bearers to carry the remains. The King's example in London, Eng. on the liquor qcstior. was r.cTt followed by the clergy in the meeting of the lower house of the convocation at York when the following resolution presented by the Dean of Manchester, was passed: "That this house, while wishing to be support all such measures as may in the opinion of the j government be necessary fcr the strength and safety of the nation in time of war, would look with anxiety upon total prohibition of the sale "f alcoholic drinks," Charles Fertoiintij of VialVefcton,) Tex., the official rat calchef, lias rc-l? cimne/l ----- ui6iiv\i. i yjL tuts six or seven j months he has been catching rats i along the water front at the rate of j 2,000 a month. He received the regu- j lar bounty of eight and ten cents per rat, and in addition, a bonus of $10 for each month in which he took over 1,000 rats. When he took the job he said he would quit when he had earn- , ed enough money to buy a boat and a J gasoline engine. His ambition was realized last week and he handed in , his badge. ' Mortimer Thompson, a jeweler, of 1 New York, N.Y., poscsses the well known charmed life. After he had been rescued from underneath the wheels of a subway train uninjured after two cars had passed over him, it became known that he had been dropped out of a window when a baby by his nurse; had fallen out of a iourtn story window when a boy and had landed on a clothes line which broke the fall; was shot in the head when lie came within range of some revolver play four years ago and had escaped drowning last month when ar. automobile, in which he was riding in New Jersey, plunged into the river. o * The Quinine That Does Not Affect The Head Because of its tonic and laxative effect.

It is not generally J known, however, that this immense in-; dustry is threatened with extinction. The same forces which are operating against liquor intend to "take up tobacco next."

Liquor was taken up firet, | but the organization is already at j work to suppress the tobacco incfus-1 try. At the last convention of the Kentucky W. C. T.

Manning1 and operating under the direction of Sheriff J. Elmore Martin began raiding in Charleston last Thursday. The raiding was resumed the next day and continued through the day. There are about a doze \ special agents to enforce Gov. Manning's policy of stopping the illicit sale of liquor in Charleston. It wna learned at dispensary headqurter? that Ihe State constables had turned in only one lot of booze that far. Five or six cases of beer and between 5C and (JO half pints of liquor were turned over by them to the dispenser that day. It is probable that the seizures being made will be turned over to the dispensary each day. siirvirr M>> ? u*wi - -* ?Bellini 11 tin norning 10 say for publication.

And a few seemingly important! things 1 want to mention: Obtain his promise before you marry to ask a blessing on each meal ami have short family prayers. It will be hard on I him at first if he has never asked a blessing, but it will mean that he will i help you in having the family circle complete each meal, that he is like ly to identify himself with the church in time, and that the children will look to him as the spiritual head. Then have him set at the head of his table, if he will, and you sit at the % foot. He may not like carving the j Vegetables ami beverages, but lie wil: roast any more than you like serving be thankful in the years to come tc. be regarded as the dispenser of material blessings. Handing out a few do! lars now and then will never win this for him. Another thing: Can you find your husband not be joint financiers?each earning equally, he by actual earning, you by judicious spending; he spending nothing without consulting you you, him, yet neither demanding an accounting of the other, and both agreeing that as soon as necessary equipment is purchased for the farm that the home and farm shall share in improvements. It is hard to divide money on tho farm?every cent is usually so badly needed,?but if a wo man can be saved the necessity of asking and accounting for every penny much good nature will be conserved. Last but not least, consider your health. Shun flies, mosqpitocs, grease cocked foods, patent medicines, worry, and work when very tired; but welcome sunshine, air, wholesomely cooked food, books, poetry, music, love and laughter. It is hard to live up to this, but help your husband to build these things into the very walls of the new home and they can never desert you.?Progressive Farmer. o ; ON VERY BEST TERMS, STATE SECURED LOAN The State of South Carolina Friday through the loan commission, consisting of the governor, the State trras,, .. 1 j 1 * * urer aim me comptroller genera!, considered offers of loans to tide the State through the summer.

SEVEN GERMAN SHIPS IN AMERICAN PORTS VC^7, a ^ Large German Fleet Subject to Impressment in Event of War. i The Baltimore Sun publishes the following from its Washington correspondent: German and Austrian ships v/i-h an aggregate tonnage of 350,000 tons and valued at more than $50,000000^ a passenger-carrying capacity of 50.000 persons and with crews numbering 10,000 men arc e ither interned in American watery or else in American ports by circumstances of war abroad. The presence of so many vessels in the jurisdiction of the United States will undoubtedly have an important bearing upon the negotiations between the United States and Germany over the destruction of Lusitania. Should events lead to war with Germany, those rich prizes would imme (iiatcly fall into the hands of the government. if not by confiscation at ther docks, certainly by capture upon the high seas. Not one of them could hope to give battle to the vessels of the American navy. With these facts before him, the Kaiser will undoubtedly bo reminded that the United States may, after all, do serious damage to the German empire, though this country has no army for invnling purposes and no navy that could penetrate the German mine fields. o BRYAN PEACE PLAN WOULD TIE HANDS (Continued ^from Page Two.) neither party shall use force or declare war. Presumably by the time the investigating commission had finished its work the European war would oe over. Even then Germany would be under no neccsssity oven to pay damages for the sufferings of the United States as the report of the investigating commission would have no binding force upon her. President Wilson in his note to Germany demanded 'immediate steps" to insure the United States against further outrages of the Lusitania type. If the Bryan peace treaty had been in force Germany apparently could have laughed at such ademand and called for an investigation. This instance of so great importance to the United States has caused many people here to think twice about the Bryan peace treaties. In fact, President Wilson by his own note demanding immediate relief lias apparently proved what many have insist oil?that the Bryan treaties will not operate practically whe.n it comes to a real crisis. According to Mr. Bryan's announcement today Judge George Gray of DelcwE.ro has been appointed American member of the peace commission with Great Britain; Dr. James Brown Scott of Washington a member of the peace commission with Norway; Prof. Eugen Wambargh of Harvard Univer sity a member of the peace commission with Peru and A. R. Talbot, a member of the peace commission with Bolivia. o The Best Hot Weather Tonic GROVK'STASTRIJSSSchill TONIC enriches the blood, bunds r ihe whole svfCem and will won IcrlvUy streuRV^en nxul fortify you to withstr ud hf?
