New Law Effective March |.

But two more days remain for
those liable under the Harrison
anti-narcotic act to register with
d. c. Hayward, collector of in
ternal revenue. Up to the close
of business Saturday, $50 drug
glsts, physicians, dentists and
veterinary surgeons had COM
piled with the provisions of the
law, and despite the wide pub
licity given the act, there seems
to be a probability that many
will lay themselves liable to not
only a penalty and fine, but will
be debarred from the legitimate
use of certain drugs coming
within the provisions of the act
unless they file their applications
for necessary blanks within the
next two days.
The law provides that unless
those required 70 pay the special
tax and register on or before
March l, 1915, they not only
incur a SO per cent penalty, but
are subject TO a fine of not more
than $4,000 or five years i'm
prisonment, or both, if they
should have any of the drugs
mentioned in the act in their
possession.

For Compulsory Education.

1t is believed that there will
be a general rush among school
districts in the Piedmont section
of the State to apply the COM
pulsory school attendance law
passed by the recent General
Assembly. Already there is talk
of the Spartanburg city schools
adopting the law. The Legisla-
ture passed the law but left it
optional with the school districts
of the State as to whether or not
they will accept it. In the rural
school district a petition of
qualified electors is necessary to
call an election on the question
but in districts containing towns
of more than 1,500 inhabitants
the school board may order such
elections.

SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
BILL BECOMES LAW

The senate adopted without
objection the report of the free
conference committee on the
compulsory education bill. The
substitute, which will become a
statute upon its being signed by
the governor, provides that the
school district is the unit and
may in one of three ways accept
the provisions of the pct, as
follows: On a petition of a ma
Jority of qualified electors; on
an election ordered by the county
board of education on petition of
one-fourth of the qualified cleo
tors;' or towns of more than
1,500 inhabitants may hold an
election upon the petition of a
majority of the board of trus-
tees of said school district.
The bill does away entirely
with the attendance officer"
placing the matter of enforce
ment of the law in the hands
of the board of trustees, who
may, however, employ a clerk
to take school census. Except
in agricultural districts, where
the compulsory school term shall
not exceed four months, the
period of compulsion shall be
for the school term. The act
shall be in full force and effect
from and after July 1, 1915.
Section II of the Act, which
was an amendment proposed by
Representative w. r. Bradford
of York, provides that there
shall be no tuition, contingent,
matriculation, incidental, or
other fee of any kind shall be
charged or collected for the at
tendance of any pupil upon any
school in the common or public
school department residing in
this State adopting the provisions
of the act.

Died of HydrOphobia.

E. Simon Mcdonald, a resident of
Huntersville, N. c., died Sunday
morning at a Charlotte hospital
of what was said to be the first
genuine case of tables, or hydro
phobia, treated in that city.
Mr.. Mcdonald, according to
those acquainted with the his
tory of the case was either bitten
by dog or only scratched by it.
The dog also bit two of his
children and shortly thereafter
was killed. This was in Decem-
Der but no signs of infection
showed up with Mr.. Mcdonald
until a few days ago.
Neither of the children has
developed any symptoms of the
disease but both are to be sent
to Raleigh where they will be
given the Pasteur treatment.
1t is stated that two other chill
dren in the neighborhood were
also bitten by the dog. They
will also be sent to Raleigh to
take the treatment.
Mr.. Mcdonald was a native of
Rock Hill, and his body was
taken to that point Monday for

after an all-night meeting, made
necessary in order to pass bills
carrying the appropriations for
the next fiscal year.
Important Statewide legisla-
ton enacted at this session in
cluded law providing for an
election on Statewide prohibition
on September 14neXt; a measure
limiting to Importation of liquor
for beverage purposes into dry"
counties to one gallon a person
month; authorization of bond
issues, not to exceed an aggre-
gate of $5,000,00O, by the
counties for road improvement;
a local option compulsory school
attendance law, and the creation
of a commission to study work
mems compensation laws.
The session was made notable
by reason of the fact that three
different men occupied the
gubernatorial chair during it's
life. They were Cole L. Blease,
who resigned on January ID,
soon after the Assembly con-
vened; G. A. Smith who, as
Lieutenant Governor, succeeded
Blease, and Richard |. Manning,

WAR NEWS OF the DAY
BRIEFLY PARAGRAPhED

Both Germany and Russia
agree there has been a severe
defeat of the Russians in East
Prussia. but they differ with
reference to its actual import
ance. Whatever has happened
to the Russian Tenth Army it at
least has been driven back many
miles and one army corps, num-
bering 10000, has been badly
cut up.
Since the end of January the
Teutonic Allies, according to
official reports from Berlin and
Vienna, have captured 14O, 800
men. including II officers.
Among these are seven generals.
These prisoners include those
made in East Prussia and in the
fighting in the Carpathians. In
addition 1913 guns are said to
have been taken.
In the West Zeppelins have
come into action. One has bonn
barded Calais, dropping 10 bombs
which killed five people. A
German dirgible, whether the
Zeppelin which bombarded Ca
lais or another, has dropped
bombs on the railroad running
from Dunkirk to st. Omer, ac-
cording to news agency.
The official statement issued
by the French War Office records
the bombardment of Rheims by
the Germans and the loss of a
considerable number of lives.
At the same time it reports ad-
vances for the Allies in the
neighborhood of Souain between
the Argonne and the Meuse and
in Alsace.
The British Prime Minister has
informed the House of Commons
that the Allied Governments still
are considering methods of re-
prisals against Germany for it's
naval policy and that he hoped
to announce the scope of the
measures at an early date.
Only Is men from the Ameri-
can steamer Evelyn, which was
sunk off Borkum Island, have
been definitely accounted for.
They were picked up by Dutch
pilot ship. Another boat, be-
lieved to contain 13 members of
the crew of the Evelyn, has not
been heard from.
Much anxiety is said to exist
at CuXhayen over the absence
of two large submarines which
are two days over due at their
base.
The Scandinavian Government
representatives are holding a
conference on Germany's sea
war zone proclamation.
The Prussian Diet has ap-
propriated $4,000, 900 to be
used in alleviating the sufferings
of persons affected by the war.
