Cut Off War Munitions to Allies, Says

in congress from the

chairman of the judiciary commit
tee of the house of representatives
in an address here this afternoon be-
fore a. mems meeting Of the Y. NJ.
C. A., suggested that the United
States should stop the shipment of
munitions of war to the allies by way
of retaliation for the attitude Eng
land has assumed towards our COM
merce. He said he believed England
would take cotton off the contra
band list if this country would let it
be known that war supplies from
this country would be cut off. He
said he had suggested such course
to Secretary of State Lansing last
week, but remarked that he would
not say what Mr.. Lansing had re-

Mr.. Webb said the United States
was the only neutral nation selling
munitions of war to the countries en-
gagged in the European conflict. He
intimated that legislation designed
to stop the sale of American arms
abroad might be enacted by the next
congress. Passages of his speech
created a mild sensation among men,
bers of his audience whose sympthies
are with the allies.

While we are writing, the liquor
traffic question is being voted on, at
the various points. Oh! if we
could have prohibition in it's full
sense, there would be no need of le-
gal steps to try to establish it by
force. yaIn conversation with some
gentlemen some days ago, on the pro-
hibition question, one of them said,
IF the legal sale of liquor is con-
tinually established by the voters Of
today, (men) that the Christian
women would be the voters of to-
morrow; and that the men by their
negligence would be forcing the
women to do what they do not want
to do Women!-mothers sisters,
wives, sweethearts and last but not
least, teachers, do your voting in the
homes, at the banquet, at the social,
at the dinings, in the parlors, and
in the school room, every day that
you teach. If every voter was law
of temperance unto himself there
would be no need of legality on the
subject and so much expense to Of
flee holding and execution. and per-
secution could be saved our worthy
nation. Baal in an alcoholic form
is as evident today as in the days OF
Jezebel. "
AS no special note has been made
of the Sunday-school convention held
at Colston on the first three days Of
this month, we will first speak OF
the full delegation and large crowds
that attended every session. The
writer has never seen larger crowds
through the entire session, estima-
tion was about seven hundred. The
programme was good and ably dis
cussed.> While we must say that so
many of the pastors of the associa-
ton were absent, on account of holu~
ing or assisting in protracted meet
ings, we felt their absence and trust

well. Special mention must be made
of the generous hospitality offered
by the entire Colston community.
Every home, regardless of denomi-
nation, was thrown open for the en-
tertainment and pleasure of the
guests, and the smokehouses, pantries
and every other place representing
en- eatable storehouse, was we'll dem
onstrated at dinner time on the
grounds, and I think the convention
wanted to be invited to return to Col
ston. Must be little personal and
throw a little bouquet at the untir-
ing faithfulness of Rev. w. G.. Brit
ton, colporter, as secretary and treas
urer of the convention. He is full of
life and spirit, and always at his post.
These Sunday-school conventions lend
much to the interest and zeal of the
many who attend, as all questions
are vital and fully touch on the va
rious problems of the Sunday-school
sphere.

STATE VOTES PROHIBITION
By OVERWHELMING MAJORITY
'DISPENSARY LOSES.
Nearly Every County Gives Majority
Against Legal Whiskey Sale.
Manning Will Enforce Law.


sale of alcoholic beverages will be
discontinued lin South Carolina. By
a majority of more than two to one,
as shown by returns received from
Tuesdays election on the liquor
question, the qualified electors have
voted for State wide prohibition,
which means that the dispensaries
now being operated in fifteen coun-
ties must be permanently closed by
January 1, 1915.
Although the returns from Tues
days balloting are incomplete, an
overwhelming victory for the prohi-
bition forces is certain; in fact, it is
likely that the majority will grow as
additional returns are received.
With returns from all of the forty
four counties of the State, some COM
plete and others incomplete, receiv-
ed, the following results are shown:
For prohibition ---- ---- ---32,944
Against prohibition - ....14,141
1t is not probable that the total
vote will exceed $4,000 and 47,0S5
are accounted for in the table which
is appended.
In the "Wet'' Counties.
Of the counties that now have dis
pensaries, Aiken has voted dry" by
at least three to one, while Barnwell,
according to the returns received,
gave prohibition majority by the
small margin of three votes.
Calhoun has voted for prohibition
by nearly two to one, and in Orange
burg county three times as many bal
lots were cast for prohibition as for
local option.
With one-third of the precincts to
be heard from, Beaufort gives ma
jority of 80 against the sale of liquor.
Sixteen out of 20 precincts in
Florence county return, in the ag-
gregate, more than a four to one
defeat of local option, and the boxes
still out may increase this majority.
With half of the boxes in, George
town gives "dry" vote more than
double that of the "wet," and it is
unlikely that this ratio will be ma
terially altered. I
+ Lexington, with one box missing,
shows a heavy majority for prohi-
bition, and Jasper, with two boxes
out, votes four to one against the dis
pensary.
Richland gives decisive majority
for prohibition, while the vote
against the dispensary in Union coun-
+ ty is overwhelming.
williamsburg, according to advices
! received, has gone for prohibition, al
though figures from but one box,
that at Kingstree, were available.
Bamberg also reports but one pre-
cinct heard from, that in the town OF
Bamburg, but information, received
is that the county has voted dry"
At thls count, Dorchester, with
four boxes yet to come in, gives a
majority of 13 for local option.
Charleston is the only county that
can with certainty be counted at this
time for local option, the vote being
practically ten to one against prohi1
bition, with eight country boxes yet
to come in.
With perhaps an exception or two,
notably Horny, in no county which
now sells liquor under the dispensary
system was the vote close in Tues
DAYS election. The returns from
the up-country indicate strong SEN
timent against the sale of liquor.
The returns by counties, up to
, Tuesday night at late hour, follow:
