11 f 4 Pity the Unpainted House! Would you go out in the pouring rain wearing your best clothes if you had no protection such as an umbrella or raincoat? Not if you could help it, you say. Yet some people expose expensive material to the elements without adequate protection. The building material' in your house is ex pensive and should be protected. Otherwise it will be ruined as surely as the fine clothes you wouldn't wish to wear out in the rain. Dampness causes decay in wood-work. If you keep out the dampness you keep away decay.

Eichelberger Agent Gulf Refining Phone 33 ASKS RESIGNATION OF CONSTABLES Uov. Blouse Says there is No Further Need of Their Services after De cree of Supreme Court. Columbia, May l.">. As a result of the decision of the Supreme Court on the Webb law, announced yesterday afternoon, Qov. Blease said this af ternoon there was no use for him to continue to keep State constables 111 operation and he addressed a letter to his constables, telling them that he would have no use for their services after the 1st of June. There is no statute by the State pro hibiting the importation of liquor from] another State for personal use, and the Webb Act gives the State the right to enact such a statute if it so I desires is the opinion of the South Carolina Supreme court. When asked about the decision of the Supreme Court In the Web. case, and its effect upon his policy, the Governor so id: "Well, of course, I am not surprised at the decision. However, I regret as much as it is possible fur a man to regret that the Court saw fit to ren der this decision. If that was the Court's idea of the law, I wish it had done as it lias done in thousands of other cases, held up the decision and delayed and delayed. "I have had more trouble and worry In the last two or three months with complaints as to blind tigers than one poor fellow can stand. I have had my constabulary force full, my detectives at work, and recently counties have been calling on me to send them spe cial men, and I have been tightening the screws. 1 had presumed that the Attorney General's views would bo sustained, or, if not, that the members of the Court, who I presume are pro hiUlt|a^lsts fcdrtalnjy flolitioalfy, if not otherwise?the majority of them?? would help me out In this fight, by holding the decision even as it was rendered, until 1 could get the situa tion somewhat In hand. "But lo. and behold, they shoot tho decision back with lightning-like rap idity and lliey say to the blind tigers, 'on With the dance, hoys the music will be furnished.' liOOks for Abuse from flic People. "Now, it is up to tho people to curse and abuse mo, for non-cnforcoinonl of tho law, when everybody knows 1 am helpless and no power oil earth can enforce the dispensary law in this State, and keep down the blind tigers so long as white men furnish the liq uor and have free negroes to seil it for them, and then go around to law yers' offices and hire lowyors to de fend these negroes and .it the same time whisper to the lawyers, 'don't lot mo be known in connection with the matter.' "I am not criticizing the Court. 1 accept their decision its the law. but as they have delayed in so many other matters, 1 wish they had delayed jvist a litle win; in this. His Billy Course. "1 see nothing for me to do now but to wlthdorw my constabulary from Charleston and Columbia and -.-ill over the State. There is no use for people who pay taj '.'s to pay constables and detectives under any such conditions as we are living tinder right now, and it certainly is dlshcrtonlng to a man who has done all he could to try to enforce the law. And. I hope the peo ple will understand that when the blind tigers are roaming over their communities that it is not tho fault of the Governor of South Carolina, if 1 ?arties will write me I will take the matter up and do the best I can, and if they will go to a magistrate ond make affidavits as to the illicit sale of liquor 1 will see that the magistrates do their full duty, but under the law of personal use I do not see how wo can siezo any shipments. You Can Never Tell. "Now, for instance, I know two men that drink a quart of liquor a piece every day. Now, when they get a case every ten or fifteen days who can say it is not for personal use? It is for their personal use. I know other men who drink a moderate amount of liq uor, but they have friends to drink with them, Some do not enjoy drink ing by themselves; they want some body to drink with them, and they will go and call in a friend, and they con sume a great deal of whiskey and will say it is for personal use. Now. where am I or my constables or detectives to ! draw the line when It comes to the j matter of personal use? Con sequent - ; ly, it forces us down fo the narrow issue of catching a man selling, witli the proof beyond a reasonable doubt, before we can sie/.e it as not being for personal use. If my men sieze his stuff, and the Courts say it Is for per sonal use, then we have a damage suit on our hands, and. of course, this same S-hipromo Court has to sustain itself, and it would sustain a judgment against the detective for interfering with tho man's personal use of liquor. 'Hirers Taking the State. . "As I said just now, it is disheart ening. Blind tigers are taking the State now. There Is no use for me to misstate the facts. I know it and the people know lt. There are more blind tigers in the State than there ever have boon, and this Supreme Court de cision is going to make more. Ami it does BOeni to me, when the Court holds little frivolous decisions for six or eight months and longer, that in a ease of this kind, the decision COUld have been held a little longer, at least, so that 1 could have been given an op portunity to take bold of the situation. It egrets Discharging Men. "I do not propose to criticise the Judges, but 1 want to put the people on notice that I am not the man to be condemned. I hope the magistrates and their constables will take the sit uation in hand and do everything In their power to enforce the law, and 1 certainly regret that men wlto have been doing good, true work and faith-1 ful service for me at this season of the year must lay down tholr Jobs ond hunt something else to do, but I do not propose to have them bluffed and ban tered and kicked around because i can't get the Supreme Court of the State to back me up In the onfrooc ment of the law." Letter to Constables. The following letter was sent by the Governor to Chief Constables B. H, Stothart, at Charleston, and E. H. Kiblor ot Columbia: "1 regret very much to have to in form you that, as the result, of the de cision of the Supreme Court in the case of \V. W. Atkinson vs Southern Express Company, testing the validity of the Webb law, as applied to this State, I have reached the conclusion that it is absolutely needless for me to continue to employ the services of whiskey constables in this State. Un der this decision, for the reasons which are more fully stated by me In an Interview given to the press this day. and bled in my office. I request the resignation of yourself and the men under you, effective June I, 1913.
