The governor of West Virginia is
being urged by many to call an extra
session of the legislature for the pur-
pose of repeating Or weakening the
prohibition laws of the State. This he
has refused to do, believing, he says,
that great majority of the citizens
want drastic prohibition laws. The
petitions were from various cities Of
the State. Evidently West Virginia
is dry, very dry. That is the main
trouble with the whiskey advocates.
That is why they are saying, "Do you
want conditions here that are in West
Virginia" There is nothing the mat
ter with West Virginia.

Much liquor has been seized by the
Charleston officials during the month
of August. Charleston will likely pile
up strong vote against prohibition.
That is a situation no one doubts.
But then, nobody expects anything
else in that quarter. Charleston has
long overrun the laws of the State in
the matter Of selling whiskcy. Char
lesion blind tigers have been heard
of throughout the civilized world.
And it has been more or less open
defiance. If Charleston had been as
busy building trade with the interior
of the State as she has in encourag-
ing and protecting blind tigers, she
would today be in control of practi-
cally the trade of the State. AS it is,
Charleston controls but small part
of that trade.

A young white man, Chas. f.
Trull, was electrocuted at Raleigh,
Friday, September 3, for the murder
of Sydney Swain, an aged merchant
in North Carolina on May 16. Trull
was from Columbia. He confessed
his guilt the week before his execu-
ton and said that whiskey, women and
evil associates were responsible for
his downfall. He is not the first man

About all of hideous crimes COM

source. And whiskey is usually the

the doomed man.

SUBMARINE DESTROYS
ANOTHER BRITISH SHIP
Claim of Sinking of U-29
Quickly Followed by News of
Another Disaster.
LONDON. March 2s.

LONDON, March 2s
Within four hours after Admiralty Of
hclals had declared that, with the re-
ported sinking Of the U-2s, Germany $
submarine losses would result in an
abandonment Of the underwater warfare
AGAINST English shipping, news reached
here today Of the destruction Of another
British merchant ship in the English
Channel, favorite hunting ground OF the
l>ascrs submarines.
The latest victim of the submarine cam
paign in the bread war" was the Del
mira, vessel of 2Sll tons. She was tor
pedoed and sunk i'm the English Chan
mel yesterday afternoon by German
submarine
All the members of the crew we're saved
and landed at Portsmouth today. They
had no complaint to make as to the
treatment given them by the German
commander
The sailors of the Delmira were allowed
IL minutes to leave their vessel. They
took to the boats, and these we're towed
by the submarine until another ship
was sighted. This latter ship was TOO
near Portsmouth for the Germans to
venture an attack, and they threw OH
the tow lines. The sailors rowed to the
vessel and were taken into Portsmouth
today.
The British press accepted today with
out question the report that the U-29. no
torious German sea raider, has been sunk
and that In addition to the one German
submarine reported destroyed by the air
raid on Hoboken another was damaged
beyond repair Admiralty officials re-
fused to amplify last nights statement
that they had reason to believe that the
U-29 had been destroyed.
The Wilson liner Tycho arrived at Hull
today, after narrowly escaping destruo-
ton by the German submarine U-5 off
the coast of Kent. The U-5 was headed
for the Tycho when she was sighted by
a lookout on the steamer. The Tycho's
captain ordered that his vessel take an
other course. in tho hope that thus II
could avoid torpedoes, and Immediately
sent UP distress signals, These were
seen by British destroyers near the coast
and they sped out to assist the Tycho
The U-5 abandoned the pursuit OF the
Tycho when the destroyers appeared, and
dashed out into the North Sea. 1t was
pursued by three destroyers, but sue
ceeded in making Its escape.
