Effort 4o Make liquor SeRIng a Chain Gang Cffeuso Meets With Strenuous Ofspoehton ? Chhrlestoa Member Prefers Hmspended ekuUeneen to Che In Ciaag?New Hills Introduced. Columbia, Jan. 19.?A flood of words ami a stream of oratory con? sumed the time of the house yesterday morning when the Llles' bill making It a straight chain gang sentence to Il? licitly dispose of Intoxicants In South Carolina came up aa a special order. Another measure, seeking to make the captation tax dn dogs, provoked a. 1 considerable shower of eloquence be? fore the b|ll was finally shoved Into oblivion. The vole was 40 to 63 In re? fusal to pass It Into third readin?. 1 There was no opposition on third 1 to the Dlxon-Nunn-Rogers bill f relative to the temperature of cotton mitts. The house Monday night adopt? ed an amendment so that the tempera? ture to cotton mills should be regulat? ed as follows: "That the Inspection called for by tpls act shall be made under the rules and regulations made by the depart? ment of agriculture." The committee report on the meas? ure had been unfavorable as the bill was origlni.lly written. When the time came for the special order on the Llles' prohibition bill. Mr. Graydon started the fireworks In opposition to the measure by saying that the bill was simply fanaticism run mad. He claimed it was ridicu? lous, that the enactment of such a bill will make the prohibition law a three, because no Jury will convict a white man If It means a chaingahg offense. Personally, Mr. Graydon said, lie favored prohibition, but he wanted to be reasonable. W. W. Dlxon. of Falrfleld, asserted that he saw no reason why a husband " that beau his wife should have dtffer ant punishment from the person who'' sold liquor. To be consistent, let the Btate make every offense a chaihgang penalty, he said. The Falrfleld legis? lator said that he would put every ' man who bought liquor bh the chain gang; for If there were no buyers there would be no "blind tigers." Mr. tiles, of Orangeburg, author of the bill, sold that the people wanted * 'tn^c enfore'et! Hit 1 ivas ' he had Irtroduced the biM. It is the ? possibility of the chalngang that Is 1 mtng to keep many a "blind tiger*' 1 troi*. ?elJlng Uiuur, hd claimed. Mr. Wagnon, of Union, was satisfied 1 that the people of the Bute wanted ' the "slmon pure" article of prohlbl- 1 Lion; that he was sure. From expe? rience as mayor of Union and from j conviction and observation, Mr. Wag- 1 non waa of the opinion that the only 1 way to enforce the prohibition law ' adequately In to throw such a sal guard around It as that proposed by ' the Ules bill. He thought that the passage of t> e law would work a radi? cal change Ir. the situation In Charles? ton; for there the 'blind tiger" was not afraid of fines and could afford to. pay the fines Mr. Fromberg, of Charleston, said that his people did not want fanati? cism, rampant; that there was enough law on prohibition now. He said that true bill after true bill had been brought against the Illicit seller of li? quor In Charleston, and that the peo? ple of the coast city would re*pond If met with the same spirit displayed by Judge Mendol U Smith, when he sus? pended the sentences. "Tuet us stop and think and not run headlong into such crazy legislation," he abjured. Mr. Searson, of Bamwell, said that he thought prohibition was exaggerat? ed and those who favored that idea bad better lot things xemalu as they . are at the present tlrr/Y Mr. Lee, of Sparta ourg. was op? posed to the measure at this time be? cause he thought it was going too far. Further debate on the measuro wus suspended bocause of adjournment of the morning session. When the house met Monday night Mr. Le?runc: Introduced a bill which proposes, as a method of supervising the warehouse system, that the com? missioner shall collect five cents from every bale of cotton stored In inde? pendent warehouses. Representatives Smith, Dlxon and Walker introduced a bill to repeal the ? * ii board of charities and corrections. Mr. Sellers has a proposition to repeal all free tuition at state colleges. Mr. W. S. Rogers had a bill requiring all corporations to have regular pay days, and Mr. Toole wants to provide lor annual reports for all Industrial cor? porations and rights of examination j by the insurance commissioner. Mr. Mclnnes' bill to regulate motor ve? hicles was rejected, and Mr. Carter presented another bill on this subject. The house rejected a concurrent res? olution appointing February 10 as the day for adjounrntng sine die. After considerable debate, the bUl of Mr. Boyd, of Spartanburg, to pre? vent advertising was killed by a vote of 41 to 34.

United State?' Representation on Board Dwindles to Or. Aked and His Conscience. The Hague, Jan. 19 (via London.) ? The Scandinavian members of tho Ford peace expedition departed to? day by spelcal train through Germany for Copenhagen by t permission of the German authorities. The American i members of the expedition who desire to return to Stockholm have not yet received permission to do so and are puzzled as to what they will do. It may be necessary foj them to make the trip acros tho North sea. j The officials acting on behalf of* Henry Ford today expressed disap? pointment at the refusal of many of the Americans to continue associated with the peace projeot. Thus far Dr. i Cherries F. Aked is the only American ; fernher of tho socalled permanent weace board who is willing to make the1 trip to Stockholm where perma? nent sittings ars to begin. Harry d.

SAVE MONEY ON FEEDS. Clemson College, Jan. 19.?The fact that farmers can cooperate ad? vantageously in tho purchase oi aupplios has recently been demon-' strated by the Liberty, Anderson, and Simpson vi lie patrons of the Clomson College Cooperative Creamery, and Poultry Association. Tho high price of cottonseed meal made It nec? essary to look for a cheap grain to re? place a part of the cottonseed meal. With the assistance of an agent of Clernson College and the United States Department of Agriculture, farmers at Liberty bought two carloads of wheat bran, those at Anderson bought one, and those at Simpsonville bought one. The prices paid for these feed- i stuffs were from two to five dollars a ton less than each farmer would have paid if he had bought his own small lot independently. Not the smallest advantage gained In this instance was that it per? mitted farmers to replace a part of their cottonseed meal with wheat bran, thereby feeding a more per? fectly balanced ration to their cows. Thus their cooperation not only produced money savings, but also tended to promote greater pro? duction and better health in their cows. Pees and Peanuts Wonted. Tho Chamber of Commerce has an inquiry from a doaler in Alabama who wishes to get in touch with farmers or merchnnts who can supply peas and peanuts in large quantities* TEST VALIDITY OF LIQUOR LAW.
