TWO MANY LIQUOR BILLS WILL BE CONSIDERED Latest Bill, Introduced by Senator DuRant, Proposed New Resrtictions. It may sound paradoxical, but liquor bills in the senate are as thick as hops. The committee on police regulations, which in former sessions j has had a nice easy time, is kept busy i this year examining and reporting on bills which provide for everything from the strictest not-a-drop legisla tion to a more liberal attitude toward intoxicants. James A.. Hoyt, of Columbia, continued hi3 remarkable record when he was re-elected without opposition speaker to preside of the house sessions of the 72rul South Carolina Gen eral Assembly.

LEWIS. w' . i;; V rats*-d?c>. u The latest bill to make its way into the senate was introduced by Senator Charlton Dultant of Clardon. Its chief provisions, briefly stated, are the shipment of one quart of liquor per month to any male over 21 > ears of age or to any woman who is the head of a family. There is no alternative of light wine or beer which lias characterized several other liquor bills which have been presented this session. Senator DuRant's bill sets forth in its preamble that the policy of the State is against the use of intoxicants as beverages, that whiskey is used by many for medicinal purposes, and that it is the experience of j the State that the sale of liquor by i drug stores or by officers appointed j ^ _ * i i ' ny me government cannot properly be undertaken. Terms of New Bill. Under the terms of the DuRnnt1 bill, the consignee must make affidavit that the express office where the liquor is received is the nearest one to his place of residence, and that he or she is authorized under the act to receive the shipment. The delivering office of the common carrier through which the shipment is received is required to file a weekly statement with the clerk of court of the county, giving the names of all persons to whom whisky was deliv/ cred, Possession of more than two t quarts of whisky is prima facie evidence of violation of the act, under its terms, as is the concealment of whisky in any way or the refusal to i.pll iinv non/?n n m r> 11 n h and exact location of whisky on hand. Liquor can only be k2pt at the place of residence, says the bills, which specifically excludes its storing at any place of amusement or busines, or restaurant. Senator DuRant is well knowr throughout South Carolina as a prohibition leader. has spoken widely in favor of limiting liquor traffic. Other Proposed Measures. A bill reducing the legal rate of interest from 8 to 6 per cent was introduced in the senate by Senator Njc^les, of Abbeville. Senator Evans' bill providing for the "reciprocal registration of pharmacists of other states" was passed on secofit} reading. The bill provides that pl^rnfiacists who have been granted licenses in other States shall be admitted to practice of their profession up South Carolina. o Winter Brings Colds to Children. A child rarely goes through the whole winter without a cold, and every mother should have a reliable remedy handy. Fever, sore throat, tight chest and croupy coughs are sure symptoms.

In an address to the United States Senate, President Wilson has made known the things he considers necessary to a lasting peace at the conclusion of the present war.

Itobt. T. Ervin of Mobile was confirmed by the senate as judge of the southern Alabama federal district court.
