cation for Injunction.

Columbia, Aug. 21.-The Supreme
Court Justices and the Circuit Court
Judges Of the State this afternoon
unanimously handed down a decision
refusing to enjoin the prohibition ref
erendum election set for September

ately after an en- banc session had ad-
jOurned and after consultation.
When informed of the refusal Of
the court to enjoin the prohibition
election, former Governor Blease, of
counsel for petitioner, would make
no comment. When asked if they
contemplated taking an appeal to the
United States Supreme Court on the
matter Of the Federal constitutional
ity OF the Referendum Act, he said
he and his associate, Frank G. Tomp-
kins, had not yet conferred and had
not reached any decision.
The order Of the court follows:
"The State Of South Caroline, in
the Supreme Court, en- banc.
John Henry Chappell, petitioner,
vs.. r. NJ. McCown. Secretary Of
State, ct al.

herein and upon consideration there
of, we are Of opinion that the injunc-
tion be refused, and it is so ordered.
"The immediate pendency Of the
election forbids us to reduce to writ
ing the reasons for our judgment;
that will be done hereafter, and SO
soon as the circumstances shall per-
nit Of it."
The order is signed by the Chief
Justice the four Associate Justices
and the ten Circuit Judges.

weeks ago his financial condition be-
came critical, though he was too

wALrIAIA SOUTH CAROLINA WEDNESDAY AUGUST 2s 1918.
DECLARE COTTON CoNTRABAND.
England Takes Step Long Contem-
plnted-INrance to Follow.

London, Aug. 21.-Cotton has
been declared absolute contraband
by Great Britain, according to
statement issued by the foreign Of
flee this afternoon.
The statement declares that the
government propo Bes to initiate mea-
sures to relieve depression which
might temporarily disturb the cotton
market because OF the contraband
order.
1t was learned upon inquiry at the
foreign office that the French govern
ment VII issue a similar notice early
Tomorrow.
The announcement follows:
His majesty's government has de-
clared cotton absolute contraband.
While the circumstances might have
justified such action at an earlier pc
Rod, his majesty's government are
glad to think that local conditions of
American interests likely to be af-
| fected are more favorable for such a
step than they were a year ago, and,
! moreover, his majestys government
contemplate initiation Of measures 10
relieve as far as possible any abnor-
NAL depression which might tempo
rarily disturb market conditions"
The declaration is effective from
to-day.
A royal proclamation concerning
the action was published in a supple
ment of the London Gazette issued
tonight. 1t is very brief After a
preamble citing previous proclama-
tions concerning contraband, it says:
! Now, therefore, we do hereby de-
| clare, by and with the advice of our
privy council, that during the contin-
uance Of the war, or until we do give
further public notice, the following
articles will be treated as absolute
colltraband. >, In addition to- those set
out in our royal proclamations afore-
mentioned: Raw cotton, cotton lint
ers, cotton waste and cotton yarn.
And we do hereby further declare
| that this, our royal proclamation
shall take effect from the date of it's
publication in the London Gazette" >"
The proclamation was signed yes
terday by King George.
Washington Will Protest.
Washington, Aug. 21.-The Uni
| ted States will protest against the
British designation Of cotton as con-
traband and subsequent negotiations
are expected at least to draw out a
| full explanation of the reasons be-
! hind the action.
Ofhcials would not discuss the sub
| ject tonight, but the announcement
came as no surprise, for Secretary
Lansing was advised informally
some time ago that such action had
been decided. 1t is understood the
formal announcement was delayed
pending preparations to protect the
market from its effect.
The American protest will cite the
previous consistent policy Of Great
Britain in holding cotton free of
restraint. A long course of diplo-
matte interchanges undoubtedly will
follow before an agreement can be
reached, or possibly the question be
submitted to arbitration.
