PRE8IDENT'8 VETO
Dry Enforcement Bill Pass.
edsOver Veto
HOUSE REPASSES
WAR TIME BILL
1ionise llePa SC Dry Enforemeut Bill
within Three Hours After President
had I'lexpectedly Vetoed It. Wet,
Spell for Christmas Now Unlikely.
fWashington, Oct. 27.-Presldent
-Wilson unexpectedly vetoed the prohi
bition enforcement "bill today and
within t iree hours the house repassed
it over his veto by a vote of 176 to 55.
The total vote was barely more than
a majority of the entire membership.
Dry leaders in the senate immedi
ately bcgan laying plans to repass th$
bill there. They expect to ask unani
mous consent for its consideration to
morrow, claiming enough votes to put
it through. They expect to act on it
by Wednesday at the latest.
The president refused to sign the
bill because it included the enforce
ment of war time prohibition.
The objects of .war time prohibition,
the President said in his veto, had
been sat isled. and "sound -public pol
icy makes clear the reason and neces
sity for its repeal."
lt would not be deficult, the Presi
delft held, for congress to deal set)
arately with the two issues.
Th'e veto hit congress unexpectedly.
The house, getting on its feet again,
uIdcerteud its -leaders. who wanted to
defer consideration until Thursday so
as to round up all the dry members.
But the d rys swept into the chamber
and sho.wedl there was overwhelming
sentiment among themt to give the
governi:ent anpl w.eaipons for deal
ing with the liquor traflic.
Nobody- had really professed to
know the President would veto the
bill. Republicans and Democrats
alike, and the countless multitude that
had sorrowfully watched the passing
of the bars, thought it would become
a law without his signature.
Attorney (eneral Palmer, it was
said. declared it unconstitutional.
But the President, propped tup in
bed, dictated and then signed a vcto
message and sent it along to con
gress, w. tut worrying, apparently,
what congress might (o.
With repassage of the law by the
house and the lroslect of the same
thing happening in tle senate, hope of
the liig "wet" spell that would run
over the Christmas season vanished.
Proh ibit ion leaders predicted refus
al bf the house to accept the Presi
(qnt's vcto meant that the sale of I
iuor wol(1 not be permitted again in
this and many other generations.
The reasons for vetoing the act were
set forth by the President in the fol
owing message to congress:
To the Hotuse of Representatives:
I am returning, withotut my signa
tutre, H1. R. 6810, "An act to prohibit
intoxicting .bevertgets, and to regu
late the manufacture, production, use
and sale of hight proof spirits for
other than beverage purposes, and to
insture an ample suliply of alcohol andl
ipromote its use it selentilce research
ando in the development of fuel. dye'
andi other lawful industrties."'
The subject matter treated in this
measure dleal. with two distinct phases
of thie prothi biIion legislation. One
part of thle a~ct under ('onsiderationi
seeks to enforce wvar time prohibition.
The other providles for the enforce
mnut which was mhde necessary b~y
the adopt ion~ of the. constitutional
amendment. I object to and cannot
approve' that part of this legislation
witht r1'ference to war time prohibli
tion. ,
"It has to (10 'with the 'enforcenlent
of an act which was passed, by reason
of the emergencies of the wvar andl(
wvhose objects have ' been satisfied in
the demobilization of the army andl
navy and whiose repeal rhave atlready
sought at tho hands of congress.
Where the purposP0e of patrticuilar legls
latlon arising out of Wvar emdrgencey
hatve becen satiilled, sound public pol.
icy makes cleatr tho reason and necen
sity for repeal.
It will not ho difficult for congress
in considering this important mattdr'
to separate these two questions and
effectively logislate regarding thoem;
making the proper' distinction between
templorar'y causes which arose out of
C(i'ON MrAIt KET
IS CONGESTED
Practliilly no Cotton Sold lere Slice
]list. Week on Account of Congestion
01n Rliroads and In Warehouses
Practically no cottbli has been sold
on the Laurens market since the latter
part of last weel,. warehouse room all
being taken, platform space being ov
er-crowded and railroads unable to
handle shipments, Tihe rush of cot
ton to market during the past few
weeks has strained the facilities of
handling with results that have prov
-en Inconvenient to some and profitable
to others. While the cotton has been
kept off the market by congestion,
the market has steadily risen so that
those who have been forced to hold
against theIr wills have netted over
$5.00 a bale through their discomilture.
The Ndw York and New Orleans mar
kets have been alternately strong and
weak during thu past few days, but the
tendency has been gradually upward
,so that local buyers would have been
willing to pay between 36 and 37
cents per pound yesterday had they
been able to buy and ship at all.
The condition appears not to be
peculiar to Laurens. Similar condi
tions are reported elsewhere and em
bargos were placed on shipments to
Greenville and Spartianburg early last
week. The first of this week a. simi
lar embargo was placed on shipments
to Columbia, so that this section is
almost bottled up. However, local rail
road men hold out 'promises of an
early relief from present condi i ons
and it is thought that in a (lay or two
the market will be open again.

PATillOTIC 3MILITAlY OPERA.
"Amterlen First" or Carmena id the
Soldier to be Given by Loen Talent.
Preliminary arrangements have
been imnate looking to a splendid pro
duction of the patriotic military opera
"America First" by more than 100 so
lected performers of Lairens, uider
the ausipices of the Datighteri of the
Confederacy.
The play itself has to do with the
plottings of two Span ish-German
spies, and their subsequen t undoing
and detection. The music is of a
catchy, popular kind and is decidedly
patriotic and marshal in character.
Time costuming effects are strikingly
beautiful and attractive, while the ac
tion 'of the play itself is full of spirit
and thrills.
The cast and company in full is be
ing formed and trained by a veteran
in the workc of producing society oni

Washingtin, Oct. 25.--H-lolding the
impnending coal strike to be not only
tin3iustiliable b1t also unlawful, Presi
(lent Wilson, in a statement issued to
night, with tle s;ilpplort of hIs entire
cabinet, called on the coal miners of
the nation, both union offieers and
members, to rescind the strike order
effective November 1.
The president declined to enter into
tle merits of the controversy betweeni
the miners and operators, but em phat
ically declared that the strike, which
he characterized as the most far
reaching proposal in the nation's his
tory to restrict product ion and distri
bution of all neessaries of life, had
apparently been ordered without. a
vote of Ole individual miners con
verped. For this reason, the presi
dnt served defilite notie "Ithat the
law will be enfoiceI and the means
wIll be found to pr'olect the interests
of the nation in any em ergency that
may ar ill of this unhappy b)lusi
ness."

physicIan, was summoned to the (ven
ing session. Appar(ently lie agreed to
the submission of tle tMatter to his
palient. for soon afterward lie cabi
not iieting broke iii and the iresi
dent's statement was issued.
The presldent, in his statemen t, re
viewed the steps leading up to the
strtikie call, including tile Cleveland
convention of the 'nited Mine Work
eis of America, one month ago, at
which the ( dtman ds for a :10 bour week
