is an article written by Editor c.. Il.
Martin of the Easley Progress and
reply thereto written by Mr. Joel H.
Miller. We publish these articles
at the very urgent request Of Mr..
Miller, who came into our office last
week and stated that he had offered his
article to the Progress for publication,
but that Mr.. Martin had refused to
publish it in full. Mr. Miller want
ed it published in full and says he
is entitled to a reply to Mr.. Martin 8
article, and has no other way to get it
before the people Of Pickcns county
except thru The Sentinel
AS the article which precipitated this
controversy between Messrs. Martin
and Miller first appeared in The Sentinel
and as we have published several ar
ticles by them since, we have agreed to
print Mr.. Miller's reply. However, this
controversy is not The Sentinels, but
we want to treat both gentlemen fairly,
and after this week we beg to be relieved
of printing further articles in rcpiy to
anything heretofore printed in the CON
trOverSy.

PROH|BlTIONISTS ARE, NOW READY
Senate Judiciary Committee's Fav-
orable Report on Amendment
Opens Campaign.
TO GET BUSY AFTER XMAS
Even the Most Ardent, Advocates of,
Amendment Do Not Anticipate
Victory.

Washington, Dec. 21.--Immeaiarely
after the holidays advocates of pro-
hibition in Congress plan to carry on
a vigorous campaign for the proposed
federal constitutional amendment and
to exert every possible effort to get a
vote on it as this session in spite Of
the general belief that it will be
beaten.
The senate judiciary committees
action today in voting to report the
amendment with a recommendation
for its passage opened the way for
the resolution in both houses, the
House judiciary committee having
taken similar action two weeks ago.
In the House it is proposed to appeal
soon after the Christmas recess to
the rules committee for special rule
to bring the resolution before the
House for vote within a prescribed
time. Champions of the resolution in
the Senate can resort to no such par
liamentary expedients and must take
their chance of getting the amend
ment ahead of other legislation. Sen
ator Sheppard, will urge its conside-
ration at every opportunity.
The Senate committee amended the
wording of the resolution, but it's eff
feet is unchanged and would prohibit
the manufacture, importation and
sale of liquor for beverage purposes
| in the United States
Even the most ardent advocates of
the amendment do not anticipate vic
tory at this session, as a two-thirds
majority of both houses is required
But they do expect an increased ma
jority for the amendment in both
houses, and ultimate victory in the
Sixty fifth Congress is their hope.
The District of Columbia prohibi.
tion bill will be voted on in the Senate
January 9. Another measure to ba1
liquor advertising from the mails i1
prohibition States was favorably re.
ported today from the Senate postof-
flee committee.
II expect the District prohibition
bill to pass the House," Democratic
Leader Kitchin said tonight, "but
do not think any national prohibition
measure can obtain the necessary
two-t thirds vote in the House at this
time"

it's subsidy policy and made a bid to
der the Italian flag by ordering the
removal of practically all ship taxes
for five years and exempting such
ships from military requtsition for
similar period. Already IL new ships
are building in Italy under the new
law and inasmuch as vessel pays
for itself within three or four trips
under existing freight rates, it is an
ticipated that foreign nrms will take
advantage of these new conditions.
The immediate reason for the new
law is that Italy has been suffering
severely during the war because of
high ocean freight rates on grain,
coal and every other product import
ed.
However, Italy has been actively
increasing her merchant marine for
the past dozen years ana she intends
to continue that policy after the war.
Before the war she was spending $8,-
100000 year in subsidies, five mil
lion of which went to vessels carry
ing the mails, one to cargo boats, and
two to shipyards. She has lost
through submarines during the war
more than 100000 tons of vessels,
which has cut down her increased ton
mage obtained by subsidies. Her to-
tai net tonnage January l, 1915, was
l,282, ll5 as compared to 1852 Ga
tons in 1905. Her number of steam
ers at present is 949, representing a
tonnage of 933, 1856.

Eve night the home of Mrs. J. J.
Rogers on High Market street Tex
tended) was destroyed by fire and
members of the family narrowly es-
capped with their lives. Mrs. Ward,
the married daugher of Mrs. Rogers,
had put the baby to sleep upstairs,
in which an oil stove was burning,
and gone below. About half hour
later Mrs. Wards brother went up
stairs to retire in an adjoining room,
when he discovered flames issuing
from the room which his sister occu-
pied. Opening the door he with diff
ticulty rescued the little child and
gave the alarm and the other inmates
of the house succeeded in getting out
with only their wearing apparel.
Willie, young son of Mrs. Rogers,
in trying to put ont the flames was
severely burned about the hands and
arms; his injuries, however, are not
considered serious.
Mr.. Ward, the husband of Mrs.
Ward, whose baby escaped miracu-
lously from the flames, is seriously i'll
in hospital in Columbia. There was
no insurance on the house and con-
tents valued at about $4,000.

FARMER SHOULD PUT HIS PRO-
DUCTS IN COMMERCIAL FORM.

Discussing the question Of buy
ind and handling homemade farm
produce the other day within one of
our merchants a new idea was sug-
gested to us. He said the farmer
would put up his cotton in marketable
shape, ready for transportation and
think nothing Of it, but that if he
brought load Of produce, even corn
to town he was hardly willing to sack
it, and if it were sacked, he invariably
wanted the sacks back, which necessi-
tated an extra expense to the mer-
chant. The merchane in question said
he would prefer handling home grown
produce If same could be brought in q
marketable shape, but that to buy
produce and then make it marketable
he was forced to incur an extra ex.
pense, over and above that shipped in
from the outside market, therefore
the shipped stuff as easier handled
and a saving as made in this partic-
ular item.--The Cooperator.

Increased volume of the product

board yesterday to have the "Palmet-

request for 1873 was sustained. BY
ruling Of the attorney general. 80
students above 81 years are not COM
PEELED to pay tuition, though parents
are financially able to meet the ex-
pense Of college education. Presi-
dent Riggs emphasized yesterday that
the reference Of this question to the
corrections board has decidedly
wholesome influence, in that the num-
ber of students paying tuition, with
out application for State aid, was
practically doubled last fall.
Should Clemson be admitted to the
reserve officers training corps, NO
additional military duty will be i'm
posed upon the students except in the
junior an senior years, and then
these duties would be wholly elective
To those electing the special officer
training, subsistence fee of 50 q

imates scholarship values.
The institution is having an exceed.

yesterday. The total enrolment is
