BLEASE ASKS WILSON'SAID
IN CAMPAIGN AGAINST TIGERS.
South Carolina Governor Asks Pres
ident to Stop Issuance of
Federal Licenses.

Columbia, June 9.-Governor
Blease addressed letter to Presi-
dent Wilson today asking him to in
struct the commission of internal
revenue not to issue any more Ii
censes to parties in South Carolina
as retail liquor dealers. The COVER
nor urged the President to send a
special message TO Congress asking
for the enactment of such a law If
he hasn't the authority already to
forbid the issuance of liquor Ii
cenSes.
''It does seem to me-" he said,
that you could be Of great assis-
tance to me in the enforcement of
the liquor laws of this state If you
would instruct your United States
commissioners of internal revenue
not to grant license to any person.
firm or corporation in this state, ex-
cept the license necessary for the
legal dispensaries, to engage in the
retail or wholesale liquor business.
He urges the prosecution of per-
sons violating the law in the United
States courts.
1T does seem to me as a private
citizen of the United States of Amer
lea and the governor of the greatest
state in the Union, that it is incon-
sistent for the United States govern
ment to license people to violate
state law, so far as the federal gov
ernment is concerned" says Cover
nor Blease.
The governor thinks that the re-
fusal to issue such licenses would
stamp out the Social club evil.
He promises that if there is no law
giving the President the right to
issue instructions forbidding the
granting of licenses he will intro
duce bill along this line when he
gets to the United States senate a
year and a half hence, If he is
elected.
Governor Blease continues: "I
have positive information that there
are now in this state several parties
holding licenses from the United
States government as retail liquor
dealers, and / am informed that
these licenses will expire on the
goth of this month. AS you know.
South Carolina has a statute which
prohibits the sale of whiskey, wine
or beer, except in eight counties, in
which whiskey is sold by the county
dispensaries, and any person, firm
or corporation engaging in the sale
OF any whiskey, wine, beer, malt or
vinous liquors, save the legal au-
thorized dispensers, in these eight
counties, is guilty of a misdemeanor.
Still the United States government
has been and is yet continuously
licensing the people which have dis
pensaries and people within the
counties which have legal prohibi-
ton, TO violate the law of this state
by becoming retail liquor Dealers"

MOONShINERS ARE ACTIVE
SO ARE REVENUE OFFICERS.
the Vicinity of Kings Mountain
and Famous Battle Ground.

Yorkville, June 9.-Dispensary
Constable Jackson, accompanied by
Deputy Sheriff Quinn and Constable
Hendrix, raided a blockade still in
the northwestern part of the county
and captured negro by the name
Of John Kirk, landing him in jail
on the charge Of making whiskey
The still was not in operation at the
time of the capture, but all indica-
tions showed that IL had been in use
very recently.
There has been a great deal of
moonshining in the vicinity of the
Kings Mountain battle ground, on
the line between North and South
Carolina, for the past few months,
and the officers are doing everything
In their power to put a stop to it.
There are several more arrests ex-
pected to be made in the next few
days.
The United States revenue officers
also have been on the watch, and
are cooperating with the county
officials in trying to catch the moon
sinners. A few days ago three of
Uncle Sans men came down from
Charlotte and found large still in
the foot of the mountain, and they
were very much surprised to find as
sembled around the little current
OF corn juice, flowing from a large
still, dozen men with shotguns.
The latter happened to be only
crowd Of squirrel hunters who were
stopping to quench their thirst with
a little of the mountain juice, for
when the officers bounded down up
on them they left guns, dogs and
hats and pulled for the tall green.
After the dust cleared away the
officers were left by themselves with
large still and 10 gallons of corn
whiskey, which they destroyed.

THE STATE SCORES POINT
IN THE RAILROAD CASES.
supreme Court Decides State Has
Right to Fix Rates Until Con.
gress Makes Specifis Provision.

Washington, June 9.-The power
or the states to fix reasonable in
terstate rates on interstate railroads
until such time as Congress shall
choose to regulate rate, was upheld
today by the supreme court of the
United States in the Minnesota
freight and passenger rate cases.
At the same time the court laid
down far-reaching principles gov
erning the valuation of railroad
property for rate making purposes
and according to these held that the
state of Minnesota would confiscate
the property Of the Minneapolis &
st. Louis Railroad Company by it's
maximum freight and 2-cent pas
senger fare laws. 1t enjoined the
state from enforcing these laws as
to this road for the present. In the
cases Of the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern, however, the court
held that these roads had failed to
show that the rates were "unreason-
able or confiscatory, and conse-
quently reversed the United States
district court for Minnesota, which
had enjoined their enforcement as
both confiscatory and a burden on
interstate commerce.
ALL STATES INTERESTED.
The decision, regarded as one of
the most important ever announced
by the court, had been under consid-
Grafton for IA months. Railroad
commissioners from eight states and
the governors of all the states filed
briefs in support of the states in the
cases, recognizing the principles in
volved affected them all.
Rate cases from Missouri, Arkan-
sas, Oregon, Kentucky and West
virginia were not decided today
but the points announced in the
Minnesota cases are regarded as
governing them generally. These
cases probably will be disposed of
tomorrow, when the court will hold
another session, as it will also do on
Monday, June 16, the final day of
adjournment for the term.

ANOTHER CONFLICT LIKELY
WAR IMMINENT SAYS EXPERTS
The Balkan Disputants Are Stand
ing Stubbornly by Their
Guns.

London, June 9.-With both sides
stubborn in refusing to make the
slightest concession, war between
the Balkan states is hourly becom-
ing more imminent. If Bulgaria
sends negative reply to the Ser
Wan note-and nothing indicates
that she will answer otherwise
Servia and Greece will proclaim the
annexation of the occupied Mace
donian territories, thereby establish
ing definite casus belli.
The only hopeful feature of the
situation consists in the belief that
bulgaria is lacking the sinews of
war. Servia and Greece are not only
better situated in this respect. but
also occupy superior stragetical DO
sitions. These facts probably ac-
count for the calmness with which
SerV1a apparently regards the pros
poets of war.
Inc hnal session of the peace con-
ference was held today at st. James
palace and ended without ANYTHING
oelng decided as to the exchange of
prisoners or other matters. The
delegates agreed to leave outstand-
ing questions to their respective
governments.
Each of the Balkan delegations
ADVISED his government to conclude
separate convention with Turkey.
The Montenegrin delegate who
presided at today's session deliyed-
ed a speech Of farewell.
Had the peace conference lasted
longer there would have been few
delegates to attend it, as DR.. 8.
Danef, representing Bulgaria, left
some days ago and the two principal
oerVlan delegates were hastily re-
called to Belgrade yesterday.
