THE PROHIBITION ELECTION.
Qualifications for Votinq..Form
of Ballot. -

The steering committee of the pro.
hibition forces of South Carolina, fol.
lowing the ruling of the Attorney
General on the use of ballots at the
election September ID, has condensed
the legal features connected with the
election in order that certain points
may be more clearly understood.
The statement follows:
There will be two ballots, as pro-
vided by the statute: One, For the
manufacture and sale of alcoholic
liquors and beverages in South Car.
olina'; the other, Against the manu-
facture and sale. of alcoholic liquors
and beverages in South Carolina.
There will be but one ballot box.
If the result of the election is against
the manufacture and sale, the county
dispensary will be closed after De-
cember 81, and the sale of alcoholic
liquors and beverages within the
State will be unlawful after that
time.
This law has nothing to do with
the gallon month law regulating
the Importation of liquors.
All persons who are eligible and
desire to vote in this election must
haye a registration certificate and a
receipt showing the payment of all
his taxes for the year 1914.
"A person to vote in this election
must have registered more than 30
days before the election, unless he
becomes of age within the 80 days.
The only remaining opportunity to
register for this election will be in
August. The books will be open for
at least three days in August in eve
ry county and at such places in the
county as the board of registration
may designate by two weeks public
notice. In those counties having So
900 people or more, the books will

which Britain is now employing.
With regard to the shipment OF
cotton to neutral states Britain has
no right, whether cotton be classed
as contraband or not, to shut it out
from neutral markets; but she would
have the right, by virtue Of the doc
trine of continuous voyage main

try, to prevent the flow of cotton
classed as contraband through neu-
trail states into Germany.
It is of the utmost Importance to
the people of this section that the
best arrangement possible be made
at an early date. Great Britain
should not be allowed to go beyond
the limit set by international law in
restricting the delivery of cotton and
the Government of the United States
should press with the utmost ear
nestness and determination for the
full observance of this country's
rights IS neutral. But there is
much misunderstanding as to what
those rights are; and there are a
good many people who seem to ex-
pect the President to make demands
which probably cannot be sustained
under the law. That, of course, he
cannot do, no matter how much the
material interests of any section may
require it. That is a disagreeable
fact for us. but we are more likely to
arrive at a measurably satisfactory
solution of the problem by recog-
nizing this disagreeable fact than by
ignoring it.-Meus & Courier.

There is considerable misunder-
standing in this country regarding
the action of Great Britain in re-
stricting the shipment of cotton to
the continent of Europe, and if the
President is 70 avoid serious embbar-
rassment at the hands OF his own
countrymen, some clear statement OF
what this Government conceives to
be it's rights in regard to the ship
ment of cotton should be made for
the information of Americans.
Naturally there is mueh alarm in
the. South at the partial closing OF
the European markets, and with the
new crop coming in it is in the high
est degree desirable that the people
of this section be advised as to what
the situation is likely to be in re-
spect to access to those markets. 1t
must be remembered, however, that
the measure of relief. which this
Government can procure for US is.
limited by the prescriptions of inter-
national law, and there would be
more profit in searching out the law
of the case than in denunciations
that can get nowhere andrachieve no
result.
1t is necessary to remember, for
instance, that cotton is now the basic
substance of the most important ex-
plosives and that, in any intelligent
and honest construction of the law
regarding contraband, a belligerent
would probably have the right to
prevent the shipment of cotton to
the armed forces or to the Govern
ment of an enemy state. Great
Britain has not declared cotton con-
traband, and is basing upon other
grounds her measures to prevent its
shipment into Germany; but 1T IS
very doubtful whether she would
not have the right under interna-
tional law to declare it contraband,
and to prevent it,on the ground that
it Is contraband, from reaching Ger
many either direct or by way OF
neutral states; aud the chances are
that if she did adopt this method OF
preventing the delivery of cotton TO
her foes, the hardship imposed upon
the South would be greater than
that ensuing from the novel me'noa

BROUGHT BACK FROM
VERY BRINK OF GRAVE
Very truly,
]. S. GLENN.

Mr.. Silas Hoheimer, of Broadway,
was brought to Hartford Monday to
be tried for lunacy. He was accom-
panied by his wife and several
friends. 1t was said that for some
time past he had been the victim of
Authorizations, although not in any
way dangerous. A jury was impan-
eled and the trial of Mr.. Hoheimer
began. He was in the hallway of
the court house while the trial was
going on and it had not proceeded
far when he fell over unconscious as
if he had tainted. He was carried
out in the court house yard, laid on
the grass and several doctors pres
ent began working with him. 1t
was soon seen that he had taken a
powerful dose of some strong opiate,
presumably laudanum.
The process of artificial respira-
ton was given him and kept up for
over two hours. After a little while
a stretcher was brought and he was
removed to DR.. Ford's office, where
the heroic efforts to save his life
were continued. Drs. Riley, Ford,
Taylor and Lake worked with the
stricken man for several hours.
During all this time he did not
breathe except as compelled by the
artificial process.
He was stricken with unconscious
ness about the middle of the after
noon and 1t was about o'clock be-
fore he showed any signs of resusci-
tation. Artificial respiration was
the only thing that saved his life.
He was then taken to the CONNER
cial Hotel, where he spent the night.
In the meantime the jury had ad-
judged him insane. and recommend
ed his committal to the State Hos
pital at Hopkinsville, where he was
taken yesterday afternoon.
