CANNOT ESCAPE LAW
BY PAYMENT OF FINE

Section Si1. Any person who
violates any of the provisions
of sections 794 to 8O3 inclusive
Shall be guilty of misdemeanor
and upon conviction thereof shall
be imprisoned at hard labor for
not less than six months nor more
than five years. and for any SUBJ
sequent offense, upon conviction,
shall be imprisoned for a term of
not less than one year nor more
than five years: Provided, That
any circuit Judge may in his dis
cretion suspend all of such i'm
prisonment except three months
upon such terms and conditions
as he may see fit to impose. but
in each and every case any per-
son convicted of the violation of
the said sections shall be re-
qulred to serve at the least three
months of the sentence imposed
upon him."
The above is section of an
amendment to the States whis-
key law which will be introduced
by Representative j. T. Lilies, of
Orangeburg, at the coming ses :
sion of the general assembly. In
the opinion Of Of Arr. M Lies fear of
punishment, so far as the GRIM
inally inclined are concerned, is
the greatest incentive to respect
and regard for law.
l hope and believe" said Mr..
Lilies, L shall be successful in
securing the passage of this bill
end its enforcement as a law in
my opinion practically rids South
Carolina of the evils of the LIQUOR
traffic. The failure of the prohi-
bitiOn laws of this and other
States has been due largely to
the fact that the penalties i'm
posed did not sufficiently punish.
This will not be the case under
this bill"

An Old Yorkville Stamp.

The January number of Boys
Life" the Boy Scouts magazine,
contains an article on the "Rel.
les of the Pony Express, which
article is illustrated with repro.
ductions of the old stamps in de-
mand by collectors, and also by a
letter of the kind in use before
the days of envelopes. The let
ter happens to bear the postmark
of ''Yorkville," S. c." 1t is adj
dressed to "Messrs. Hull & Spen-
Ger. New York" and in addition
to the address carries the notation
Charge Box AZ, S. & l." Ten
cents, the amount of the hostage.
is stamped on the right hand
corner of the envelope at the top
and the word paid" is printed
beside the stamp. The envelope
as it is known today, did not
come into use until 1847, and this
old letter was evidently sent be-
fore that time. There is nothing
to indicate the name of the send
ing firm unless it is the IS. &

CONSUL R. N. M'REELY
PROBABLY ONE OF LOST

Latest dispatches concerning
the sinking Thursday of the
British ship Persia, indicate that
Robert n. McNeely. of Mon
roe, N. c., was one of the large
number of passengers who lost
their lives. Mr.. McNeely was
some time ago appointed United
States consul at Alden, Arabia.
and had taken passage on the
British ship for that post.
In addition to Mr.. McNeely.
two other Americans are known
to have been passengers on the
Persia when she left London.
Charles H. Grant was on his
way to Bombay. Edward Ross.
a school boy, was on the way
from Denver to Gibraltar. Ross
probably landed at Gibraltar and
was not on board the boat at
the time she was sunk.
A Lloyds dispatch says that
most of the passengers and men
of the Persia were lost.
Four boats got clear before
the Persia sank.
The message to Lloyds says
the Persia was on her way from
London to Bombay. She was
sunk at | o'clock on Thursday
afternoon.
The Peninsular and Oriental
Line estimates that 16O or 161
passengers sailed from London
on the Persia. A number of
these landed at Gibraltar, Mar
seilles or Malta.
The Persia was sunk in the
eastern Mediterranean off the
Island of Crete.
In addition to the passengers
who sailed from London a large
number embarked at Marseilles
The total booked at these points
was 231. Of these 81 were
women and 25 children.

CHAIR AWAITS NEGRO
IF GUILT is PROVEN

Odessa Good. a negro youth
l6 years old, is in the county
Jail at York charged with at
tempted criminal assault upon a
siX-year-old white girl, the
daughter of a prominent farmer
living in Bethel township. The
alleged crime was committed on
the premises of the girls father
Wednesday afternoon, but was
not discovered until Thursday.
The negro who lives on the same
farm with his brother-in-law.
was arrested Thursday afternoon
by Constable Horace Johnson
and taken to Jail.
The child was given prompt
medical attention as soon as her
condition was discovered and
attending physicians say she will
recover entirely. 1t is under
stood that the negro has con-
fessed his crime. He appeared
sullen and mean when questioned
by newspaper men and appeared
not to appreciate the serious
position he is in. He is grand
son of Giles Good, who with
four other negroes, Brindley
Thompson, Bailey Dowdle. Dan
Roberts and Nose Lipscomb,
were lynched on the outskirts of
York April 5, 1887, for the mur-
der of a white boy in Bullocks
Greek township.
| am not expecting trouble
over this affair."" said Sheriff
Hugh G. Brown. THE pare n s
of the outraged child have ex-
pressed their wish that the law
be allowed to take it's course,
and | believe the good citizens
of York county will respect their
wish. 4"

Paris, July 19.-The official COM
munication issued tonight reads:
South of the Somme a small opera
tion south of Estrees enabled us to
capture several trenches and make
about sixty prisoners.
On the Verdun front lombard
ment of our first and second lines in
the region of Hill 304 was carried out
There was intense artillery activity in
the Fleury sector, but no infantry ac-
ton. At Les Eparges an attack on a
small post was repulsed.
A. German aeroplane was brought
down by the fire of our special cannon
near Braine, east of Scissors. The
aviators were taken prisoner.
An earlier statement said:
The night was calm over the greater
part Of the front. Two surprise at
tacks delivered by the army against
small French posts, one in Belgium, in
the region of Paschendaal, the other
north of the Aisne, near Paezzy, were

London, July 19.-The official COM
municqtion issued tonight says:
North of the Somme heavy fighting is
still in progress in Longueval village
and the Delville wood. In both these
places we have already regained most
of the ground lost last night.
South of Delville wood this afternoon
we dispersed with our fire large body
of Germans massing to attack the
Waterlot farm from the direction of
Guillemont.
An earlier announcement read:
The enemy's attack last night. the
beginning of which already has been
reported, was directed against our new
positions east of Bazentin village. Very
large German reinforcements had been
collected for this attack. After an in
tense artillery fire the first assault was
delivered in dense masses at about $3.50
o'clock in the afternoon. The fighting
continued all night and was particu-
larly violent in Delville wood.
After suffering very heavy losses the
enemy succeeded in recapturing por-
tion of Delville wood, and also OBJ
tanned a footing in the northern out
skirts Of Longueval. The struggle in
these areas is still violent.
Elsewhere the attack, including three
separate assaults on Waterlot farm,
completely broke down under our fire.

SWEDEN SENDS
BERLIN PROTEST
Declares Seizure of British
Steamer Off Coast
Was Illegal.

Stockholm, July 20.-Because of fire.
quent infringement of her neutrality
by German and Russian cruisers, and
in the endeavor to protect her own
and other shipping where seizure is
illegal, Sweden has made an official
protest 10 Berlin against the capture
of the British steamship Adams, 1928
tons, of Newcastle, by German de-
stroyer.
The Adams was at anchor off Anus,
close to shore, yesterday, when the
destroyer appeared. Her captain re-
fused to steam east from shore until
the German threatened TO sink her.
Recently Sweden protested TO the
Russian government against the
capture of the German steamer Worms,
alleging that it was taken in Swedish
waters.
The Belgian steamer Ambiorix,
captured by the Germans last August,
has been released by the Supreme
Prize Court in Berlin, which has con-
firmed the contention that she was
taken in Swedish waters.

votes. II is a factor that the Demo
Gratis, though they do not talk much
about it, are known to dread.
Blacklist No Surprise.
Although no formal communication
from the British Foreign Office on the
blacklist" has yet been made 10 the
American government, the state De
partment is already considering 1t. It's
publication came as no surprise, as
the department had known for weeks
that such a move was in prospect
Complaints from many OF the hrms
listed had shown that some kind OF
an informal ban already was in oper-
alton.
The chief protest of Secretary Ian.
sing probably will be on the act itself
rather than its application 20 Ameri-
cans. It's scope is felt to be so broad
that should any American firms find
themselves trading with the blacklist
ed ones they, too, may be added to 1t
without having any relation whatever
with Germany.
Thus, practically any corporation en-
gagged in the export trade might very
easily, without any conscious act OF
its own. find itself on the blacklist.
The United States, it is believed, will
hold this an unjustifiable interference
with American rights.
