Webb Bill Only
Paves the WAY

There is no statute by the
State prohibiting the importa
ton of liquor from another
State for personal use, and the
Webb act gives the State the
right to enact such a statute, if
it so desires, is the opinion of
the South Carolina Supreme
Court in deciding case te%*slg
the constitutionality of the
Webb act. The opinion hchs
that the old dispensary act for.
bidding the ordering Of liquor
for personal use from other
States, having been declared
unconstitutional before the
passage of the Webb act, could
not be vitalized by the passage
of the Webb act.
1T is not the intention of the
Webb act to interfere with the
policy of the State in regard to
the importation Of liquor, but
merely to provide that. the en-
forcement of a State statute
would not be interfered with, or
hampered bv the interstate com
merce laws" says the decision.

How to Get Rid
of Potato Bugs

The following is Walter Ian
gston's recipe for exterminat-
ing potato bugs:
Get an old can large enough
to hold all the bugs and eggs,
have your wife pick off the
leaves upon which the eggs are
deposited mix bugs, leaves and
eggs together in the can, pour
cold water on them. then have
your wife build a fire in the
stove, bring the mixture to {
slow boil, keep it boiling for ter
minutes. Then dig a hole {
foot deep in the soil, pour the
contents of tho can into it, put
a rock over it and haYe your
wife fill the hole with earth
tramping 1t thoroughly.
This Is guaranteed to effect
ually get rid of all the bugs and
eggs you can catch. Those you
fail to catch, poison with one
part paris green, tostffteen parts
of lime, ashes, or flour sifteC
through an old loose woven
sack.

Final Report. for
Pickens County,

DR.. +. D. Rodgers, the hook
worm specialist, last Saturday,
closed an eight weeks campaign
against the hookworm in this
county. His report to DR.. j.
LaBruce Ward, director rural
sanitation, Columbia, 8. @. is as
follows:
Total number of microscopic
examinations 2,459. Of these
918 were found infected, which
is 81 1-2 per cent. l,O11 between
the ages of six and eighteen
were examined and 567 were
found infected which gives a
percentage Of 56 10. LOTT per-
sons were treated taking 2,7OO
doses of medicine given as fol-
lows:
Those taking one dose 1872.
Those taking two doses 112.
Those taking three doses So.
Those taking four doses 543.
Those taking five doses 4.
Those taking six doses l.
This report shows a high in
lection considering the geogra-
phical location Of this county
and demonstrates very clearly
that the upper part of this state
has more of this disease than
was at first supposed.
DR.. Rodgers will go from here
to Dorchester county to carry
on a campaign for six weeks.

beauties and other various

Singleton having been pastor IF
this church some few years ago
his visit was a very welcome
one. After Bro. Singleton came
down from the stand, he re-
quested that all christians that
wanted to live a better life and
be prepared to meet death to
come to the altar and give him
their hand as q token if they
should never have the pleasure
of meeting at this place again
that we all should meet in f;

The giver did not cut off any de-
pendents to do this. So that argu-
ment is out of the case. And it could
only have been dragged in to work
on the. sympathies OF these who
should be given more credit for fore
signht, sense of justice, common
sense. It is only phase of the old
idea that the state owes every man a
living: 1t simply means that a grand
father owes every grandchild liv-
ing, and that he must first absolutely
insure their futures before he can do
one single thing with his own prop

liberty under the constitution, and
such is not justice in any but a very
narrow, short-sighted sense.

TARIFF DREAD
HURTS MARKET

Under date of April 3, Willett &
Gray have the following comment on
the raw sugar market:
The sales for a few days past
amount to about $1,000 bags at 3.45c
per pound and at S-S2c c. q C.. equiv
alent to 3.45c. Many of these sales
were Porto Rico free duty sugar which
cannot be held for warehouse on ac-
count of the coming lower tariff law.
No doubt this feature of the sugar
situation Is responsible for the present
reaction in prices which must neces-
sarily run itself out till 1t is known
what the new tariff will be. At this
writing there are quite varying specu-
lations as to what this will be and no
value can be placed on the correct
ness of any of these guesses Con-
gress will meet in extra session next
Monday and remain in session until
the tariff bill becomes law. The time
required to complete this legislation
Is as much a mystery as the tariff it.
self, but requests from all over the
country have gone to Washington that
the bill, whatever it IS, shall not go
into operation during the fruit season..
June l to October Is. As 1t is not
likely that the date can be made June
/, 1t is more likely to be not sooner
than October Is If these requests are.
respected.
The request is made because in
preparation for the fruit season job
bers and dealers must carry large
stocks of sugar on which the loss
would be large If duties are reduced
at such time.
The Cuba crop progresses quite as
satisfactorily as. anticipated by the
the weekly cable herewith We have
reports from the managers Of sugar
estates in many parts of Cuba show
ing an expected increase in produc-
ton averaging % per cent over last
season, which increase, applied to the
total of the last crop, indicates an
outturn this season of 2,330,000 tons
sugar, provided the weather condi-
tions remain favorable as now.
Weather conditions for field work
in the European beet crop continue
to be reported favorable by r. o.

Before the senate adjourned late
yesterday afternoon, two important
bills we're sent through third reading
and will now go to the house. Both Of
these relate to Honolulu; one pro-
yides for the transfer to the city of
the water and sewer systems, and the
other would give Honolulu q means to
widen and otherwise improve the
streets. Little objection to the sub
stance of these bills has been made,
though they are both amended in q
number Of places. The latter was in
troduced by Senator Judd and has
been termed by DR.. Pratt the most
important piece of legislation before

SAY CURFEW LAW SHOULDBE

That the curfew law which was re-
Gently put into action should be
changed in such manner as to take
effect each evening at eight instead
of seven o'clock, is the opinion of the
workers of the Palama Settlement
who have been making an inyestiga-
ton of the results of the new law in
that district They set forth their
reasons for this change as being
based upon the fact that in the Pa
lama district the greater number Of
the children live in tenements, have
practically no home life, and as re-
suit of the new law have to remain
at their homes after seven o'clock in
the evening.

to go to sleep before nine o'clock, !"
