APPEAL OF JOHN HENRY CHAP
PEI DISMISSED BY UNANI-
NOUS DECISION OF COURT
No Farther. Action, 1t Is Stated, will
be Taken To Stop Prohibition Refer
cniuni. Steps May Dc Taken Later
cn--Action II Considered us Vic
tory for PrOhibitiOnists.

Special To The Daily Item
/ Columbia, Aug. 2l.-In an unani-
nous order the Justices of the Su-
prcmc Court and the judges of tho
circuit courts after dcvoting the morn
Ing to hearing the appeal OF John
Henry Chappcll Of Newbcrry. for an
injunction To issue against the pro-
hibition referendum OF be held on
september II dismissed the appeal
shortly after the session had adjourn
ell sine die.
1t is said here that the anti-prohibi-
tionists will not further try to stop the
election, but should 1t carry, they will
carry ii to the federal Supreme Court
In the endeavor to have the bill au-
thorizing it adjudged illegal in that
II contravenes the federal constitution.
The main contention of the attor-
neys of Mr.. Chappell was that the
bill authorizing the referendum is
unconstitutional in that the legisla-
ture attempts to delegate it's duties to
the people. Arguments for the ap-
pellant were made by Former Gov.
Blease and f. G. Tompkins, of Column
bia while the respondents named in
the petition were represented by f. II.
|Dominick. assistant attorney general,
and T. II. Peoples, attorney general.
The prohibitionists were represented
by ID. w. Robinson of Columbia and
w. B. DeLoach of Camden.
The suit was brought against r..
Nj. McCown, Secretary of State; S. r..
Carter, State Treasurer; c. w. Saw
yer. Comptroller General, and c. T..
Gradon, Warren Thomas and j. f.
Howell, as commissioners of election
of Richland county.
The prohibitionists consider the de-
cision victory, as they are almost
positive that the election will carry at
the polls on September ii.

The press of the whole civilized
world, with few exceptions, con-
dennis Germany for the sinking
of the Lusitania when fifteen
hundred defenseless men, women
and children lost their lives. The
New York World says editorially:
What has Germany gained by
sinking the Lusitania? She has
not weakened the fighting
strength of the British feet.
She has destroyed no significant
portion of the wealth. She has
struck no terror to the hearts of
Englishmen. Nor has she over
awed any other nation. She has
only intensified throughout the
world the Indignation and horror
which right-thinking men feel
for acts Of wanton massacre.
She has put herself beyond the
pale of civilization. German pol
icy adds up against the German
people a terrible reckoning.
Sooner or later they must pay.
The price will be exacted with

would disdain to ask for in any

The murder of the 1900 men,
women and children on the steam
ship Lusitania last Friday by a
sneaking German submarine was
one of the most dastardly assassi-
nation of innocent people in the
history of the world; and one of
the worst features of the entire
affair is the rejoicing that was
done by German newspapers, one
of which declared it to be the
greatest victory achieved thus
far in this bloody war. 1t would

Lies Last Adventure.

Although there are assurances
with out number in the Bible that
death, is a beautiful and a bene-
ficent thing for those who have
given themselves into the keeping
of the Lord, we yet shrink from
it. We picture horrible things in
connection with it. Indeed we
are told that one of the objects
of Christ's coming was ito de-
liver those who, through fear of
death, were all their lives subject
to bondage" Ministers and
other godly men and women only
have been successful in partially
relieving this obsessing fear Of
death. After all the stage is as
effective in its teachings as any
other theater of action. Surely
in setting forth vice and virtue,
life and death, nothing as yet ha:
arisen that surpasses the stage ir
effectiveness.

READ IT.

In this issue you will find an
article headed: Fish and Game
Laws" from the pen of John M.
Perry, Blaze KY, Fish and Game
Warden for this county. 1t is
worth reading carefully. 1t is of
interest to the law abiding man
and also the law breaker. 1t tells
those who want to see the law en-
forced how to help do it, and it
warns the law what-he may ex-
pect if he is detected in his ne
forious business. 1t calls the at
tention of saw mill operators. who
habitually pollute the streams, to
the fact that they will not longer
be permitted to violate the law
with impunity. This fact should
have had the attention Of the
grand juries long ago for there is
nothing more destructive to fish
than making a tan vat OF the
streams by dumping sawdust in
to them.
The pollution of streams, dyna
hitting, seining and other illega
means of taking and destroying
fish must go. The public con
science is becoming aroused
against it, and what the peopl'
really want they can get. War
