So many people troubled with In

benefited by takins Chamberlain's
Tablets that no one should feel dis
couraged who has not given them a
trial. They contain no pepsin or 9TH

its functions naturally. obtainable

then have justice administered

The Baltimore and Carolina Steam
snip Co, through their attorneys. HUI
ger. Wilbur &c Guerard, yesterday fled
an answer in the United States district
court to the bill of complaint of w. F.
Gaires. who charged them with violat-
ing section of the constitution in that
they refused to deliver him q quantity
or beer in excess OF the gallon a month
allowed by law which had been ship
ped from Baltimore. The hill of com
piaint was filed sometime ago by Geo
Won Kolnitz. Jr.. attorney for the
plaintif. The hearing was due to be
held yesterday, but owing to the ab-
sence of Mr.. Won Kolnitz from the city,
was indefinitely put off. The defend
ants also flied motion to dismiss the
complaint in addition to their answer.
In the answer to the complaint, the
attorneys for the defendant transpor-
tation company cite the Wilson Bill Of
1890 and the Wcbb- Kenyon act of
1913 as an argument in favor of their
refusal to deliver the beer These acts
of congress provide that the class of
business such as carrying alcoholic
liquors should be subject to laws OF
local Jurisdiction. Thus the act of the
South Carolina legislature controlling
the importation Of liquor in this State
will have jurisdiction. The acts of
congress referring to this have both
been declared constitutional by the
courts of the United States it Is ar

NEW FLOOD RECORDS MADE.
Waters From Piedmont Sweeping
Through Eastern Carolina. rs

Florence, July 2O.-The waters from
the Piedmont sectiW of the State
are sweeping down WIN force to the
sea through Eastern CArolina and are
establishing records never before
heard Of. The Santee River at Remi-
nj is twenty-five inches higher than the
great flood of 1908, but despite this
fact and that the water is five feet
above the rail on the trestle at
Hemini the trestle at $3.50 O'Clock to-
night is held intact because of it's
being weighted with solid line Of
four hundred box and coal cars. The
crest was reached at 6 O'Clock this
evening at that point and the waters
are now receding.
At Robbins Neck, on the Bennetts-
Vile division, the crest has been
reached and the waters began reced-
ing at 6yoclock this evening. At Wa
teree, on the Columbia division, the
water has been receding all day long
and no further demolishment Of tres
tie has occurred. The drawbridge is
now safe, the Coast Line people began
this evening assembling men and ma
terial at Eastover and Camden juno
tion to repair the damage done by
the going down of the four thousand
feet of trestle work. AS soon as men
can get into the swamp the work will
so rapidly forward, but official esti-
mates place it at two weeks before
traffic will be resumed between Flor
ence and Columbia.
This afternoon several additional
bents under the Jeffrey's Creek
trestle, two miles south of Florence,
went out and trains are tied up or,
the main line going north and south.
This trouble will be remedied by
morning and the main line opened up
again. Traffic is badly congested be-
tween Florence and Charleston and
besides the use Of double tracks be-
tween Lanes and Charleston the Coast
Line is diverting south bound trains
via Sumter to keep trains moving.
The Coast Line is moving hundreds
Of cars of Georgia peaches over this
route and that with the many other
trains of their own and the Seaboard
Air Line is causing the congestion.
Seldom in the history of railroading
have officers and men worked more
faithfully on railroad than they
have on the Coast Line day and night
to keep traffic on the move and their
lines open. .&,

4 PREVIOUS GREAT FLOODS.
History Searched to- Find Counterpart
of Present Disaster.
Norkville Enquirer.)

There is no detracting from the rec
Ord-breakng character of the high
water throughout this section during
the present week. The waters were
snquestionably higher than have ever
Deen known by any of the people now
living. The, Sherman freshet of 1865
has been exceeded, and also the fresh
cts OF May 1901. and March, 1912.
There Is nothing on record to COM
pare with this flood unless IL be q
Hood that occurred early in 1901
which as recorded by the Historian
Lawson. swelled the Santee river 20
a perpendicular height of SO feet.
This Hood exceeds anything on record
unless 1t be a slmilar inundation that
rushed down Broad and Catawba riv-
ers in January, 1896. DR.. Ramsey in
his history OF South Carolina, says
that On this occasion numerous large
dwelling houses were carried down
the rivers and practically all the
bridges from the mountains to the
sea were swept away. So great was
the flood at the mouth OF the Santee
river--the name OF the stream after
the junction of the Broad, and Con-
guree on the one hand and the Ca
tawba and Wateree on the other
that for days the ebbing of the tides
were scarcely conceivable. At the
same time there was a flood in the
savannah river and the city of Au-
gusta was Hooded to a depth of sew
eral feet. At Grumpy, on the Con-
garee, and at Camden on the. Water
ee. the water is said to have risen to
a height of forty feet. Just above the
confluence of the two rivers a stage
OF twenty-one feet was reached.

Most of the men, Mooney declared,
have either joined the union or have
declared that, in the event of strike
they will 90 out with the union men.
iThe labor council,' he said, "has
been trying for two weeks to arrange a
conference with Jesse Lillienthal, presi-
dent of the United Railroads and has
failed. l think the council will get
behind us when we 60 out.
"The men will strike Friday night,
so as not to Inconvenience working

streets wherever they happen to be.
A prominent member of the executive
board of the Amalgamation is on the
way to San Francisco to assist in
handling the strike.'
SO far as can be learned the United

Cannon ridiculed the idea that results
could be obtained in Mexico without

"The president said at Detroit GER

Without any authority we told Huerta

"Bryan told our Americans who were

ting us to send our troops into Mexico
to restore order"
The resolution was passed.
