NO ALTERNATIVE ; OF FINE IS LEFT i Lilefs Bill Confused With Another Measure. WHEREIN THEY DIFFER. Hill Regulating Volume of Liquor I'urchases Allows Fine on First Offense. The following is the text of tho Liles bill, providing: for a chaingang sentence for selling: intoxicating: liquors, as it passed both houses: "Section 811. Any person who violates any of the provisions of any law of this State prohibiting:, relating: to or regulating the sale of intoxicating; liquors shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and, upon conviction thereof, shall be imprisoned at hard labor for not lest: than six months, nor more than two years; and for any subsequent offense, upon conviction, shall be imprisoned for a term of not less than a year, nor more than five years: Provided, That any circuit judge may, in his discretion, suspend all of such imprisonment except 30 days for the first offense and 60 days for subsequent offenses, upon such terms and conditions as he may see fit to impose, but in each and every case any person convicted of the violation ox any of said laws shall be required to serve at least 30 days for the first offense and 60 days for any subsequent offense of the sentence imposed upon him: Provided, That the provisions of this act shall not apply to cases now pending or to offenses committed prior to the passage of this act. "Sec. 2. That this act shall take effect immediately upon its approval by the governor, and all acts or parts of Mfte innnncicfonf U'ith tliic n/d Kn unrl the same are hereby, repealed." lien B. Sellers of the house made the following statement yesterday: The news article appearing in The State of Sunday, carrying the following headline, 'First Offe nders May Escape Gang?Files Bill is Passed Amended so as to Allow Payment of Fine, is altogether misleading and is calculated to get blind tigers in trouble. The Files bill positively eliminates the option of a fine in the pehalty for the violation of the law* of the State relative to selling liquor. The senate amendment struck out the words 'storing and transporting liquor' in order that the bil1 would conform to the Carlise measure regulating the storing, transporting, etc., of liquor. '"The Files bill provides a straight chaingang sentence for the illicit sale of liquors in South Carolina and the judge has no discretionary power in imposing sentence except that for the first offense a minimum of .'10 days on the chaingang may be imposed." The error Mr. Sellers points out arose from confusing the Liles bill - to regulate the sale of liquors with that introduced by Senator Carlisle of Spartanburg, to govern the importation and storing of whiskey and beers. The lattermeasure allows the alter native of a fine, ranging from $-100 to $500, for the first offense. The imprisonment in jail 01* at hard labor which may be imposed upon first offenders is not to be less than HQ days nor in excess of six months. 'Subse -ent offenses are to be punistied by l or chaingang sentences of six months to two years, together with a 0 <? of not less than $100 nor more than $5,000. This bill received a favorable report in the house, where it now awaits second reading. As indicated above, the Liles bill to prohibit the sale of whiskey imposes straight imprisonment sentence at hard labor. It has passed both houses.?Tuesday's State.

There was no way of rearranging hours, he declared, by which the children would be allowed to work eight hours and great suffering would result to parents from the loss of their labor. For this reason, he said, and because of an unwillingness for federal regulation of their State affairs, the cotton manufacturers were opposing the measure. GEORGE W. PEARSON.
