I ir SIOHT BOOZE BILLS COMING AGAIN Liquor Question Will Vex The State Legislature at the Coming Session PROHIBITION HAS BEEN BENEFICIAL Two Quart Law and Charleston's Special Privilege Sure to Be Up. \ Columbia.;?John rsarleycorn is very much\ worried just now as to the probable course of the general assmebly of South Carolina which convenes in January. It may prove a glorious season for the watei wagon. Under the present law, as is known by everyone, who has been accustomed to a large mail by reason of the overworked liquor house business staffs, each citizen in the State is entitled to one gallon of whiskey each month. During the last several days there has been much talk in Columbia as to what legislation will be proposed at the approaching session concerning whiskey traffic. There is a well defined rumor current that the prohibition leaders will ask for a statewide prohibition law. Conditions in South. Carolina have undoubtedly improved by the abolition of the dispensaries. It is true,that much whiskey is be mg shipped in from Jacksonville. Baltimore and other favorite points., yet the courts show a decrease in the number of cases. There has been z marked increase in crime right herein the city of Columbia, although the capital is far from "dry." They ar. resorting to all kinds of means tc evade the gallon-a-month law. Much whiskey is being received by freight Some of hte whiskey is shipped in tomato cans. The blindtigers are jvore active in Columbia, as a matter of fact than Charleston. It is easier . to purchase whiskey right here in Columbia than in the city of Charleston. It is practically certain that a bil; will be introduced at the next ses sion to give Charleston a high li cense system. Such a step will be bitterly opposed by the prohibition leaders in both the house and senate. Last year the general assembly passed a law reducing the amount ol whiskey to two quarts a month This measure was never signed by Gov. Manning. It is understood that Gov. Manning will discuss the whiskey situation at length in his annual message to the legislature. How ever, he has made no statement as to the measure to be proposed. The express companies are doing a land office business just now. The holiday 3eason is causing a big rush 01 goods from the wet centers. Office Rules Don't Apply When It Comes to Washing Dishes.

A Mexican refugee, who arrived here from Torreon said Villa was preparing to move north with 5,000 men to attack Chihuahua City. He reported another force of 500 Villa followers to have been Tuesday at the Calderon ranch, 65 miles southeast of Juarez. Skirmishing between the rebels at Calderon and the de facto troops which left Juarez Tuesday for Chihuahua City was reported here late yesterday, but could not be confirmed in Juarez. The Villa forces southeast of Juarez were said to have been sent north to take Juarez as soon as Villa started his attack on Chihuahua City. It is not believed here that Villa has any direct tactical connection with the operations reported from the eastern military zone near San Luis Potosi, Tampico and Monterey, but General Carrera Torres and the Cedilla brothers are said to be operating in that section under the Villa banner. o There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to bo incurable.
