How to Have Prohibition.-The pa

How to Have Prohibition.-Thep par
lament Of Iceland, the members OF
which are elected by popular vote, re-
Gently decided that 1t would be a
good thing to stop the sale Of liquor
in that country. A law to that effect
was accordingly passed, and the re-
manning stock Of liquors on hand was
shipped out Of the country. Now there
is not a drop Of whisky in Iceland, and
there is a severe penalty for bringing
it in.
It strikes us that that is the way to
go about having prohibition-go the
whole limit There is undoubtedly
much foundation for the claim that
prohibition does not prohibit. and
the reason for 1t Is that as rule the
efforts to have prohibition have been
but half-hearted. There have been
too many loop holes in all the pro-
hibition laws. There have been too
many ways by which people who
wanted it could get whisky.
The people in far-off Iceland have
shown the world how to have prohi-
bition. 1t goes without saying that
they will have real prohibition, and 1t
is almost equally certain that they
will be thoroughly we'll pleased with
it. There will be no talk Of viola
tions Of the prohibition law in Ice
land.-Anderson Daily Mail.

EFFECTS OF THE LEVER BILL
Author of tho Measure Thinks II Has
helped Cotton.

Helped COTTON.
Last spring congress passed an act
regulating the cotton exchanges OF the
country. The agricultural appropria-
ton bill, which passed the house last
week, carried an appropriation for the
enforcement Of this act. When this
item in the bill was reached, Congress
man Lever, by way Of explanation OF
the operation Of the act, made some
pertinent comments on the cotton
marketing situation. Congressman
Levers remarks were to the effect
that the operation Of the cotton fu-
lures act had resulted in increasing
valuation Of the spot cotton in the
hands Of the farmer. MIR. Lever spoke
in part as follows:
1T will be remembered that in my
report accompanying the cotton fu-
lures bill, which later became a law,
predicted that as a result OF this leg
islation the value Of the New York
contract would be enhanced from 81
to $3.50 per bale, and that this en-
hancement Of the value Of the quota
ton basis, rejecting itself in the spot
markets Of the south, would mean
from $15,OOO,OOO to s35,0OO,0OO each
year additional to the cotton produc-
ers.
Immediately succeeding the begin
ming Of the war in Europe. the ex-
changes closed and remained closed
until the 18th day Of November. On
that day they reported. The cotton
futures act does not become effective
in whole until the 18th Of February of
this year, but in anticipation Of it's be-
coming effective the exchanges since
their opening have been dealing in
two kinds of contracts, namely, the
old contract under which they operat-
ed. and then the contract drawn to
conform substantially with the pro-
visions Of the contract provided for in
the cotton futures act. / feel a par
donable pride in finding that my
prophecy as to the effect Of this act is
enhancing the value of cotton in the
hands of the farmer, is borne out by
the difference the value Of the two
contracts, showing much higher
value for the new contract over the
old. as will be seen by comparison"

PEOPLES AND MANNING
Attorney General Comes Back at th'

Attorney General Comes Back at the
Governor.
Attorney General Peoples on last
Friday gave out his reply to Governor
Mannings letter of February 4, and In
his reply calls especial attention to the
fact that while the previous correspon-
dence was exchanged by hand, the
governors last letter was given to the
press before it was mailed to the ad-
dressee and that it did not reach the
addressee until after it had been pub
lished in a way that gave the governor
the last say. The letter Of the attor-
ney general follows:
Hon. Richard /. Manning, Governor,
Columbia, s. C.
Dear Sir: notice in the morning
paper Of this date a letter from you
to me, dated February 4, 1915, in ref
erence to the appointment Of Mr. DOM

$50 a. m, to II p. m, except from 2.45
to $50 p. m, when 1t was closed for
dinner. Heretofore, the correspon-
dence that has passed between US has
been delivered by hand. This letter,
however was handed to the newspa-
pers and published by them before its
receipt by me, and without giving me
the slightest opportunity to make any
reply in the same issue in which the
other letters were published. AS to
what motive actuated you in handling
this letter as You have, / will leave 1t
to the public and any fair minded per-
son to judge.
have answered your letters as
promptly and respectfully as personal
and official conduct would permit. You
have taken six days to answer my let
ter to you of January %, 1915, and six
or seven days to answer my letter Of
January %, 1915 to you. For what
motive you had in delaying your re-
plies. l leave that to the public and
any fair minded person to judge.
You took the initiative in the ques-
ton that is between us and and made
the issue, Notwithstanding the words
that fell from your lips in the closing
paragraph Of your inaugural address,
which are as follows: Il am confident
that l voice the desire Of large ma
ijority of South Carolina when l urge
our people now to turn their backs on
past factional bitterness and dissen-
sion, to look forward, turning their
faces resolutely to the future"
My position in re-appointing Mr..
Dominick as assistant Is clearly set
out in my several letters to you and
substantiates the conversations / have
had with you, all Of which conversa-
tions were had at your request. any
statement or statements to the con-
trary notwithstanding.
AS long as am attorney general |
do and will insist that appoint as as
sistant who Is my choice and will re-
tain Mr.. Dominick as long as 1t Is my
pleasure to do so and he consents to
serve in the position, Notwithstanding
your letter Of the 21st Of January.
Very respectfully,

TO TALK TO EUROPE
Hewitt Says II Can be Done by Wire
leas Phone.

| The remarkable feat Of telephone
communication between New York
and San Francisco, demonstrated re-
Gently, undoubtedly will be followed
before the end of this year by SINH
lar achievement with the wireless
telephone, according to Peter Cooper
Hewitt, the inventor, who says 1t soon
will be possible to talk across the
Atlantic by wireless telephone.
| In his laboratory in the tower Of
Madison Square Garden. Mr.. Hewitt
a few nights ago, gave the first de-
monstration Of his invention to re-
porter Of the Times. 1t Is an oscillator
comprising a gas and vapor device and
electrical connections suited for wire
less telephony and telegraphy, by
means Of which he said it was possible
| to transmit messages to greater dis
| tances.
The vacuum tube and its electrical
connections representing the receiv-
ing station in Mr.. Hewitt's laboratory
occupied the center Of the room. In
the corner was q booth where were
set up a transmitter and phono-
graph.
I'VE have to use photograph" ex-
planned Mr.. Hewitt, because we're
too busy to think up something to say
when we're actually experimenting
with the oscillator."
The sending station is equipped
with an aerial swinging outside the
window Of the tower. The sounds are
produced in the booth inside the
laboratory and go out over the ex-
terror aerials and are received again
over the interior aerials. When the
current was turned into the oscillator
the vacuum tubes emitted violet rays
usually seen in wireless stations, the
phonograph was started, and through
the receivers one could distinctly hear
a Photographic defamation Of Lin
coins Gettysburg speech. Musical Sc
lections were transmitted with equal
success.
Mr.. Hewitt said his experimental
ton had proved that articulation OBJ
tanned through this instrument was
even more perfect than that obtained
| over ordinary telephone wires. Its
perfection will now overcome the ne
cessity Of having a telephone circuit
consisting entirely Of wires. Circuits
may be formed in part Of air and
wire.
From my experience 1t will now
be possible not only to operate over
long distances wirelessly by tele-
phone" said Mr.. Hewitt, but wire
less operation over short distances
may serve to feed the regular tele-
phone system, thereby doing away
with the necessity Of constructing
numerous lines in districts where
there are no wires at present"
Mr. Hewitt said he was gratified at
the success with which transconti-
mental telephone communication was
established the other day, and ex-
pressed deep admiration for the
achievement Of Dr. Alexander Graham
Bell. He said he realized In 1902 that
transcontinental telephone communi-
cation would be possible, because he
had perfected then a form Of repeater
for verifying the feeble telephone cur
rents attendant and spent by long dis
tance-New York Times.

THE cATAWBAS
Once Powerful Tribe Reduced to a
Mere Handful.


Mere Handful.
The following article concerning the
Catawba Indians, who reside on their
reservation in the eastern section OF
York county, is reproduced from the
Southern Workman:
In 1853, the Catawba Indians OF
South Carolina were confined on a re-
servation Is miles square. The In
dams soon rented their land to the
whites for few thousand dollars. and
later sold all Of 1t, except a single
square mile on which they now reside.
This small reservation Is situated
about eighty miles north Of Columbia.
The nearest large town is Rock Hill.
The tribe has grown so small that
it's number now averages about ninty-
nine. Each year the legislature Of
South Carolina provides a sum OF
money that is equally divided and
and paid to every Catawba Indian re-
siding in that state
The families are all large. Men
earn their living by raising cotton and
cutting and selling wood to the town
people. Most Of the land is cleared,
and used for cotton and pasture land,
In 1884, Mormon missionaries came to
the Catawba reservation and convert
ed a number Of the Indians.
AS soon as it was known among the
surrounding whites that Mormon elders
were at work among the Indians, they
began to threaten them. The threats
made by the whites were carried out,
and the two elders were put to death
by large mob.
The death Of the beloved elders only
caused the Indians to become firmer
believers in the Mormon faith. Two or
three weeks after the mobbing two
more elders appeared on the reserva-
ton, and to this day two elders are
always there.

Population of Continental United

States.-The population of continental
United States will pass the hundred
million mark within the next three
months, according to two estimates
made public by government bureaus
last month. Geographer c. d. Sloan
estimated that the population would
be 1O0,000,O59 at 4 p. m, April 2. Gov
ernment Actuary ]. S. Mccoy Of the
treasury department, calculated that
it would be 1O00ll6 600 on February l..
The census bureau estimate was
based on the increase between 1900
and 1910 and indicated that Il coun-
try would contain l00,399,3lS persons
July /. next, and more than 10S,000O00
July |. 1920 The 1900 census showed
population Of 15,994.515. while the
1910 figures was 91972,266.
Actuary Mccoy arrived at his con-
clusions by including the factor Of
natural increase which, he said
would augment the simple increase
considered in the census bureau fig
ures. Census bureau officials said
decreased immigration, due to the
war and restrictive legislation. would
overcome that factor.

the mountain side, and, at sound no
louder than the falling Of a walnut,
the boy halted and laid silencing
hand on the painters shoulder. Then
followed an unspoken command in his
companions eyes. Lescott sank down
behind a rock, cloaked with glistening
rhododendron LEAKAGE, where Samson
had already crouched and become i'm
movable and noiseless They had
been there only a short time when
they saw another figure slipping quiet
ly from tree to tree below them.
For a time the mountain boy
watched the figure and the painter
J saw his lips draw in a straight line
and his eyes narrow with CLINT OF
intense hate. Yet, q moment later, with
a nod to follow, the boy unexpectedly
rose into view and his features were
absolutely expressionless.
"Mornin', Jim," he called.
Tho Sinking stranger whirled with
a start and an instructive motion as
though to bring his rifle to his shoul-
der. But. seeing Samson's peaceable
manner, he smiled and his own de-
mcanor became friendly.
"Mornin', Samson"
Kinder stranger in this country,
hain't ye Jim?" drawled the boy who
lived there, and the question brought
a sullen flush to the others cheek
bones.
Jest a-passin through" he vouch-
safed.
II reckon ye'd find the wagon road
more handy" suggested Samson.
Some folks might 'spicion ye fer
stealin' long through the timber"
The skulking traveller decided to lie
plausibly. He laughed mendaciously.
That's the reason, Samson. was
kinder skeered ter go through this
country in the Open"
Samson met his eye steadily and
said slowly:
II reckon, Jim, hit mought be half
es risky fer ye ter walk upstandin'
along Misery es ter go a-crouchin'.
Ye thinks we've been a-shadderin' me.
1 knows jest whar ye've been all the
time. Ye lies when ye talks bout
passin' through. Ye've done been spy
in hyar, ever since Jesse Purvy got
shot, an all thet time ye've done been
watched yerself. I reckon hitn be
healthier fer yer ter do yore spyin'
from t'other side Of the ridge. / reck-
on yer allowin' ter git me eff Purvy
dies, but we're watchin' ye."
Jim Berry's face darkened, but he
said nothing. There was nothing to
say. He was discovered in the enc
my's country and must accept the
enemy's terms.
This hyar time / let's we go back"
said Samson, "fer the reason tibet I'm
tryin' like HI ter keep this truce.
But ye must stay on yore side or else
ride the roads open. How is Purvy
terday?"
Hes mighty poorly" replied the
other in a sullen voice.
"All right That's another reason
why hit hain't healthy fer We over
hyar"
The spy turned and made his way
over the mountain.
"D-n him!" muttered Samson, his
face twitching, as the other was lost
in the undergrowth Some day I'm
a-goin' ter git him."
Tamarack Spicer did not at once
re-appear, and when one Of the Souths
met another in the road the customary
dialogue would be: "Heered anything
Of Tamrack ?" No, hev
you?" mo, nary word"
