lesion Contrary to Dispensary Law.


Columbia Special to Augusta
Chronicle, Sept. 22.-"This section
makes it clear that the sale to other
than beer dispensaries is prohibited
and consequently it is quite certain
that the delivery by these breweries
to any dealers other than Charleston
county dispensary is q plain violation
of the law" Governor Manning in g.
letter addressed to John Marshall,
secretary of the Charleston dispen-
sary board.
II have read that statement with
great care, and it Is clear to me that
the administration of the statutes
regulating the sale Of beer in the
way that has been adopted by your
board is not in accordance with law"
says the governor in reply to a state
ment from the board outlining the
method of sale of beer.

GERMANY ASSUMES
MILDER ATTITUDE
Says American Ships With Condi-
tional Contraband Will Not be
Destroyed.

Washington, Sept. 23.-Germany
in a note on the case of the ship
William p. Frye has given the United
State formal assurance that Ameri-
can vessels carrying conditional con-
traband will under no circumstances
be destroyed, even though deemed
American merchantmen if carrying
American merchantmen if carrying
absolute contraband is reserved, but
the promise is given that this will
be done only in case of extreme ne
cessity as provided by the declara-
ton of London.
These assurances together with
the acceptance by Germany of the
the one to name a joint commission
of experts to fix the indemnity for
the loss of the Frye and the other to
submit to The Hague the dispute
which the case produced over the
meaning Of the treaty of 1S28-pro-
duced a favorable effect in Official
quarters.
Just what the practical operation
OF the new assurance will be officials
were keenly interested to learn, for
under the lists of contraband pro
claimed by Germany in retaliation
for the acts of Great Britain nearly
everything previously known as con-
ditional contra band has now been
made absolute. 1t is not known as
yet what attitude the United States
will take in it's note, but 1t is under
stood that 1T may reiterate its insis-
tence that the treaty of 1928, and not
existing international law, makes
American vessels immune from de-
struction irrespective of their car
goes.

London, Sept. 22.-Bulgaria's mo-
DlllZatlon--a war move that NAV

struck London with dramatic sud
denness.
Ihe afternoon newspapers, how.
ever, refrained from editorial COM
ment, and neutral readers of these
publications, except for drawine
their own conclusions from large
type heads and such captions as
Balkan Sensation" would be none
the wiser as to whether England re-
garded the developments as a pre-
llminary victory for the central DOW

or the Greco-Servian-B Bulgarian me-
gotiations.
The consensus Of opinion was thar
although the Bulgarian armv is nou,
on the move, Bulgaria has not vet
cast her lot with one side or the
other, but is, as her minister here ey-
pressed it, still neutral, still waiting.
but armed
The first bulletin announcing Bull
saria's mobilization reached London
by way of New York 1t was follow
ed quickly by stream of kilograms
from the European capitals saying
mobilization, partial or general. had
been ordered at Sofia, the Bulgarian
cavalry had taken the field and that
Bulgars of fighting age were hurrv-
ing home. Subsequently came the
news OF excitement at Athens and of
the conference of the King with
political leaders.
From Sofia itself the British press
received no details.
There is general activity of the
Austro-German forces along the Ser
Wan frontier. A semi-official dis
patch from Nish repudiates reports
that Servia has been asked in effect
to remain quiescent while the Aus
tro-Germans conduct their campaign
southwark
The developments in Bulgaria
throw into comparative obscurity the
continued Russian retreat from
wilma, but, except for the northern
tip of the Polish front, where the
Russians are on the offensive near
Friedrichstadt, the Germans claim
progress throughout mid-Poland as
far south as Ostrow, which they have
captured. The greatest number of
prisoners taken at any point, how
ever, did not exceed 1000, which
would seem to indicate that the at
tempt TO complete the coils around
the retreating Russians has proved
unsuccessful.
