Greenville, March 7.-Acting on
orders from headquarters the local
agent of the Southern Express COM
pany today refused to deliver whis-
key shipments to any person whom
soever whether for personal use or
not, declaring the Webb bill is of
this effect.
Following this action several citi-
zens prevailed upon C. S. Webb of
Greenville, brother of Representative
Webb, author of the bill, to wire the
representative at Washington for his
opinion as to the intent of the bill
receiving late today the following re-
ply:
claw does not prohibit private use
shipment and will not unless State
forbids it and State can not where it
allows sale to individuals by any one
in the State.
(signed) "E. Y. Webb"
Senator E. D. Smith also answered
request for information declaring
an opinion similar to Representative
Webb's.
Mr.. Hall, agent of the express COM
pany, stated that several showed him
letters from whiskey houses acknowl-
edging receipt of orders but stating
that the purchasers would be unable
to get the whiskey out of the express
office. This would indicate that the
whiskey houses take the same view
of the bill as the Southern Express
company. The general opinion here
is that the express company is TAX
ing this method to test the legality
of the law.

GOVERNOR MANN REFUSES
TO COMMUTE SENTENCES
The Aliens, Father and Son, to Die
in Electric Chair on March %.

Floyd Allen, leader of the outlaw
band in Carrrol county, Va, and his
son, Claude Swanson Allen, will be
executed in the Virginia penitentiary
on March % for their part in the
Hillsville court murder on March ID,
1912, Governor Mann having refused
to commute the sentence to life i'm
prisonment.
The prisoners were to have died
Friday, but the governor granted a
respite of three weeks. The respite
was accepted by the Aliens as an in
dication that the governor would ex-
tend mercy. The rejection of the Pc
tition, however, means that the case
is officially closed, as there is no other
way by which it can again be opened.
Miss Nellie Wisler, mountain girl
to whom Claude Allen was engaged,
made an unsuccessful effort to see
Governor Mann with final plea for
communication.

Mrs. B. G. Clifford entered this

work in the town of Union as a

her work as teacher in Clifford semi

the thirty-third of her work as a

"house-mother" to the girls therein.
The State is privileged to present to-
day, in the department "With

The State has friends of all ages and
stations, whose regard it prizes,
whose devotion it has proved; but
nothing brings it a satisfaction deeper
than that which it derives from the
friendship of such women as Mrs.

of that quality it can not be tempted,
however the adverse odds may in
crease, to conclude "the battle

CAN SHIP LIQUOR
INTO SOUTH CAROLINA
Representative Webb and Senator
Tillman Explain Provisions of
Much Discussed Webb Bill.

Washington, March 7.-"There is
no amendment to the Webb bill or
any part of the bill which forbids the
shipment of liquor into South Caro-
lima or any other State when that
commodity is shipped in in conform
ity to State laws" This was the
statement made here tonight to The
Stats correspondent by Representa-
tive E. Y. Webb of North Carolina,
author of the Webbb liquor bill, when
asked specifically whether or not the
enforcement of this law would forbid
the shipment of liquor into South
Carolina.
"This law" Mr. Webb continued,
"only makes more perfect the en-
forcement of the present State laws
by throwing safeguards around them
in such way as to render them less
liable to be violated, but in a State
like South Carolina there is nothing
that will prevent the shipment of Ii
quor there so long as the State per-
mits it. There need be no fear that
the dispensaries will suffer or that
any private person will suffer so long
as the State law is not violated"
Senator Tillman said: "The Webb
law is in effect, but not in language,
the same measure that I introduced
in the senate 16 years ago, but on
which failed to get favorable COM
mite report. 1t simply provides that
liquor shall not be shipped into any
State in violation of the laws of that
State. This will not affect the ship
ment of liquor to the dispensaries nor
to private parties in South Carolina,
except for uses which are at present
unlawful
The full text of the law is as fol-
lows:
"Be it enacted by the senate and
house of representatives of the Uni
ted States of America in congress as
sembled, That the shipment or trans
portation in any manner or by any
means whatsoever of any spurious,
vinous, matted, fermented or other
intoxicating liquor of any kind from
one State, territory or district of the
United States or place noncontigous
to but subject to the jurisdiction
thereof into any other State, terri
tory or district of the United States
or place noncontigous TO but SUBJ
ject to the jurisdiction thereof or
from any foreign country into any
State, territory or district of the
United States or place noncontigous
to but subject to the jurisdiction
thereof, which said spirituous, vinous,
matted, fermented or other intoxicat-
ing liquor is intended by any person
interested therein, to be received,
possessed, sold or in any manner
used, either in original package or
otherwise, in violation of any law of
such state, territory or district of the
United States or place con contiguous
to but subject to the Jurisdiction
thereof, is hereby prohibited"
Some objection to the bill in con-
gress was based on the fact that it
provides no penalty for violation, but
it is likely that interstate railroads
and express companies will obey the
law, notwithstanding this fact. Some
liquor has already been confiscated
under the new law in Oklahoma, a
dry State, by State officers.-P. II.

That is Policy Enunciated by New
Head of the Department-Con-
gressmen Somewhat Shocked at
Burleston's Announcement That
Republican Officials, Barring Mis-
behavior, Will Not be Disturbed
Until Commissions Expire.
Washington, March 10.-Perhaps
the most important decision reached
today by the new administration in
any of it's departments was the fu-
ture policy of the postoffice depart
ment enunciated to Congressman
Frank Clark of Florida and others
who called to discuss postoffice ap-
pointments, that present Republican
appointees, regardless of how much
longer their commissions might run,
would not be disturbed to make place
for Democrats except in case Of in
efficiency or neglect of duty.
This announcement, made direct by
Postmaster General Burleston, came
as distinct shock to the Democratic
congressman who have been laboring
under the impression that there
would at least be gradual calling
in of commissions held by Roosevelt
and Taft appointees and that the va
cancies so created would at once be
filled by Democrats.
In plain words, this means, taking
the South as an example, that at
Richmond Postmaster ALLEN will
serve out his term, at Savannah Post
master Baker, who has almost four
years to run, will remain; that at
Columbia G. H. Huggins, the incurh-
bent, will not be disturbed; that at
Jacksonville D. T. Gerow will remain
in office until his term runs out, and
that elsewhere throughout the coun-
try there will be no summary eject
ments in favor of the Democrats.
While the Democratic congressman
who received this information today
were loath to criticise Mr.. Burleston,
the matter was seriously discussed.
1t was pointed out in case these men
the present appointees-remain in
and that the country should not again
elect Democratic president or the
senate get back into the hands of the
Republicans, so far as patronage is
concerned, the Democrats would get
very little from the postoffice depart
ment.
To put it mildly, those who saw Mr..
Burleston in the interest of various
constituents were amazed at the
PRONUNCIATION of such an order. They
failed to understand why, for the
sake of formulating a policy for the
postoffice department, Democrats all
over the country should be kept wait
ing for the postoffices in their terri
tory to become vacant. for as long
as four years in some instances.

SpeedLimit in City of Columbia


Columbia Evening Record, 8th.)
"If the police authorities of the
city of Columbia do not remit the fine
Of $3.75 assessed my chauffer Satur-
day morning by the recorder I will
hereafter pardon every man who ap-
plies to me from that court. If they
will steal from me-who paid the
fine-they will steal from the other
fellow"
This morning the statement made
by Governor Blease Saturday after
noon when he discussed the fining of
his automobile driver, Harrison Nee

Charges Pique.
The governor further said:
"Clinch Cathcart is angry because
his father was not reappointed as
clerk to the Richland county board
of control; and he is trying to take it
out on me-"
Friday Officer w. T. Kelly held the
watch on the governors automobile
being driven by the chauffer, Harri-
nor. The policeman claims that the

The Testimony.
The following is the transcript of
the testimony offered this morning

street, with my watch in my hand,
when saw this man (Harrison Nee
ley) coming in an auto; caught his
time from Plain and Main streets
Ran the block in IL seconds. Caught
time from south side of Main and
Plain streets to south side of Wash
ington and Main streets"
AS full city block is SIT feet, the
speed of the automobile, if the evil
dence Of the officer is correct, would
be approximately 80 miles an hour.
The speed ordinance of the city only
allows IL miles an hour.
Issued Pardon.
This morning the governor issued a

because, as he stated, the automobile
was not exceeding the speed limit.
Tn chief executive, who was wit
ness and an occupant of the machine,
was not. summoned before the reco1 4
fers Court to testify in behalf of his
chauffeur.
Chief of Police Cathcart stated to a
reporter of The Record Saturday that
he had received the pardon, but re-
fused to consider it until he had the
opinion of the city attorney, H. N.
Edmunds, if the governor had the
right to pardon from a municipal
court. He had not remitted the fine.
Will Sue for Fine.
The governor stated that, if the
fine is not remitted, he will sue for it,
in order that the legal status of par
dons for municipal offenses will be
settled for all times; that "it will be
the dearest fine the city of Columbia
placed on any person." if not remit
ted.
Chief Cathcart's Statement.
Chief of Police w. c. Cathcart stat
ed that he declined to remit the fine
imposed on the governors chauffeur
because he waited the decision of the
city attorney to whom the matter was
referred for an opinion.
"The defeat of my father has moth
ing to do with my attitude" said
Chief Cathcart emphatically.
