There is considerable misunder^ standing in this country regarding the action of Great Britain in restricting the shipment of cotton to the continent of Europe, and if the President is to avoid serious embarrassment at the hands of his own countrymen.some clear statement of what this Government conceives to be its rights in regard to the shipment of cotton should be made for p the information of Americans. Naturally there is mush alarm in tbe South at the partial closing of the European markets, and with the new crop coming in it is in the highest degree desirable that the people of this section be advised as to what the situation is likely to be in reoaaom frt fkneA mnrkpfs If y OUCCl IU a vv viivwv ... .v KEkr n- , % must be remembered, however, that SKfc*s 4 1 the measure of relief which this *, Government can procure for us is limited by the prescriptions of international law, and there would be more profit in searching out the law of the case than in denunciations that can get nowhere and'achieve no result. It is necessary to remember, for instance,that cotton is now the basic substance of the most important ex- 1 plosives and that, in any intelligent 1 and honest construction of the law . regarding contraband^ a belligerent would probably have the right to prevent the shipment of cotton to the armed forces or to the Govern- , meat of an enemy state. Great Britain has not declared cotton contraband, and is basing upon other 1 grounds her measures to prevent its shipment into Germany; but it is very doubtful whether she wouJd * not have the right under international law to declare it contraband, 1 and to j^event it,on the ground that It is contraband, from reaching Ger- , .many either direct or by way of neutral states; and the chances are that if she did adopt this method of presenting the delivery of cotton to her foes, the hardship imposed upon the South would be greater than that ensuing from the novel method IW ' Sfi ?4? i New Kingstre /litv Vil V - , . cower will need 1 he places his * floor for sale. % k and done it irehousemen to ed so faithful le for the toie has always % I * % Sale will 3 see us, we rell, Odom Dennis. f Bamberg, July 17:?At 4:30 p. m. 3 Wednesday, July 14,the home of the s j bride's parents, Mr and Mrs L D \ t Odom, near Bamberg, Mi98 Gladys i Ray Odom of Bamberg was married 1 to Mr Littleton Scurry Dennis of i Kingstree. To the strains of Mendelssohn's i . wedding march, played by Miss Inez j Sandifer, a cousin of the bride, the i bridal party took their place before " an embankment of ferns and white 1 oleanders, where Rev H Grady Har- { > din performed the impressive cere} mony of the Methodist church. s [ Immediately after the ceremony 1 ' Mr and Mrs Dennis returned to Bam 1 berg, where they took the Southern t I train for Charleston and the seaside; a i The bride wore a becoming traveling fc [ suit of blue and gold, which was especially becoming to her fair beauty, ( J and carried bride roses. e The out-of-town guests were: Mrs n ' J W McCue of Charleston, Mr and s Mrs 0 M Spurlin and Miss Ruth ? $ Seymour of Denmark and Messrs W ; S and John W Dennis and Mott Mc- s t Gill of Kingstree. f Mr and Mrs Dennis will make t i their home in Kingstree, where Mr [ Dennis is connected with the Peo. pie's Mercantile Co.

Green attacked Frank from behind, using a butcher knife. Frank's n jugular vein was cut, but neither the spinal cord nor the windpipe was j injured.

It iB of the utmost importance tc the people of this section that the best arrangement possible be made at an early date. Great Britaii should not be allowed to go beyonc the limit set by international law it restricting the delivery of cotton anc the Government of the United States should press with the utmost earnestness and determination for the full observance of this country's rights as a neutral. But there is much misunderstanding as to what those rights are; and there are a good many people who seem to expect the President to'make demands which probably cannot be sustained under the law. ?' course, he cannot do, no matter how much the material interests of any section may ? - *. rri?*. r Ws se, S: C. r Higt % been the home dealings.

Qualifications for Voting?Form of Ballot. # The steering committee of the prohibition forces of South Carolina,following the ruling of the Attorney General on the use of ballots at the 1 election September 14,has condensed the legal features connected with the election in order that certain points may be more clearly understood. The statement follows: "There will be two ballots, as provided by the statute: One, 'For the * manufacture and sale of alcoholic liquors and beverages in South Carolina'; the other, 'Against the manufacture and sale, of alcoholic liquors and beverages in South Carolina'. "There will be but one ballot box. If the result of the election is against it j ?1_ a! i... uie iiiauuiuciure ana saie,iue county dispensary will be closed after De, cember 31, and the sale of alcoholic liquors and beverages within the State will be unlawful after that time. "This law has nothing to do with the 'gallon a month law,' regulating the importation of liquors. "All persons who are eligible and desire to vote in this election must have a registration certificate and a receipt showing the payment of all his taxes for the year 1914. "A person to vote in this election must have registered more than 30 days before the election, unless he becomes of age within the 30 days. The only remaining opportunity to register for this election will be in August. The books will be open for at least three days in August in every county and at such places in the county as the board of registration ; may designate by two weeks' public notice. In those counties having 50,000 people or more, the books will . be open for the first 15 days of Au- i gust. "It is earnestly desired by those j favoring prohibition that the election shall be a full expression of the 1 sentiment of the people, both for j; and against prohibition.
