AGREE REGARDING
LEFTOVER LIQUOR
Legislators From Former Wet
Counties Would Have Re-
naming Booze Sold.

Columbia, Jan. 19-At a con-
ference of the legislators from
the former dispensary counties
it was decided to introduce a
bill permitting those dispensar-
les having leftover stock on
hand to reopen and remain open
until they dispose of the stock.
The idea is to sell the whiskey
at retail prices in conformity
with the gallon a month ACT. in
other words, a person will oe
able to buy only gallon a
month from the dispensary.
The stock will be sold only at
county soatc. The bill would
keep the dispensarics open un-
til all stock on hand is disposed
of. A committee, consisting of
Senators Sinkler, Spigner, and
Lide, was appointed to draw
the bill.
1t is estimated that there is
something over 100000 worth
of liquor left over in the form
er diSpenSary counties.

Is LIBELOUS TO
TO CALL MAN JUDAS

Madison, Wis, Jan. 2O.-To
compare a man to Judas Iscar-
lot is libelous, according to the
decision of the Wisconsin Su-
preme court Saturday in the
case of Giles H. Putnam against
Congressman E. E. Browne and
the Post Printing company.
Chief Justice Winslow said
the opinion of the court was
that the article complained of
"likens the plaintiff not to an
ordinary turncoat, but to the
man who, in the estimation Of
the Christian world, committed
the greatest crime in history
by selling the life of his Divine
Master for money. 1t requires
no argument to prove this is Il
libe, contemptuous insult and
not mere criticism of any type
hence it is not privileged, being
libellous on its face. The only
question to be submitted to the
Jury in connection with it is
question of the amount of dam
ages"

WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE
KILLED BY HOUSE
McCullOugh's Joint Resolution
Meets Defeat in Lower Body
by Vote of 81 to 81.
EDUCATION LAW TO
STAND WITHOUT CHANGE
Representatives Decide to Let
Compulsory Measure Re-
main AS 1t Is.

Columbia, Jan. 2O.-On a
direct vote tonight the Wom-
ans Suffrage resolution was
killed in the house by a vote of
81 to 81. 1t would have requir-
ed a two-thirds majority for
the resolution to carry.
1t is evident that the general
assembly is not going to under
take anything very new or rad
ical at this session. 1t NAV
pass cluster of measures of
minor Importance, but the big
ger issues are apparently going
to wait until after the campaign
year. Prohibition has already
been voted upon by the people
and therefore the legislators
feel that they can go the limit.
AT today's session the house
determined that it would make
no change this year in the com
pulsory education status. At
present under the Harper law
each school district has the de-
termination as to whether COM
PGlsoTy attendance should an
ply for that district or not. Mr..
Harper had a bill by which he
sought to change the unit from
the school district to the coun-
ty, and sought to have the
question of county adoption in
Iected in the approaching gen
eral election. The majority of
the member today thought that
the compulsory attendance law
had better stand as it is, and
therefore defeated Mr.. Harper's
proposition.

MRS. PANKHURST IS
ADMITTED TO u. :

Washington, Jan. 19.--Mrs,
Emmeline Pankhurst, the Brit
ish suffragist leader, detained
by New York immigration au-
thorities has been ordered adj
mitted to the United States un-
conditionally.
In over ruling the action of a
special board of inquiry at New
York excluding Mrs. Pankhurst
the department of labor held
that any offenses of which Mrs.
Pankhurst might have been
convicted in England were po-
litical. The law excludes only
persons convicted of crimes in
volving moral turpitude.
Mrs. Pankhurst, here in the
interest of Serbian relief. may
remain in the United States as
long as she wishes. Two years
ago she was admitted only long
enough to fill lecture engage
ments. At that time the de.
partment did not pass on the

HOUSE SAYS TIGERS
SHOULD co TO GANG
Bill Making it Chain Gang Of
fence to Violate Prohibition
Sent to Third Reading.
NO OPTION OR
ALTERNATIVE
Lyles Makes Splendid Defence
of His Measure and Wag-
non Supports Him.

Columbia, Jan. 1S.-The pro-
hibition fight started in earnest
today. 1t was on the Lyles bill
making it chain gang offence,
without option or alternative, to
violate the prohibition law.
At the night session of the
house debate on the Lilies chain
gang bill was resumed. The
house, on an aye and nay vote
of 1S to II, refused to kill the
bill. An avalanche of amend
ments was rejected by the
house, except those offered by
Lilies. He proposed to reduce
the sentence to thirty days for
the first offence and to make it
sixty days for any subsequent
offence. He also had the bill
amended so that it would not
apply to any pending eases
and reduced the maximum pen
atty to two years. Under the
Lilies amendment the Judge
may suspend all Of the sen
tence except thirty days for the
t offence and sixty days for
any subsequent offence. The
bill then went to third reading.
without further debate.

NO COAL FIRES
FOUND IN ITALY

Rome, Jan. 20.-In spite of
the cold weather italy is a
country almost without coal
fires, the only smoke to be seen
is that from locomotives, fac
tories and few hotels. Peas
ants in the mountains and the
poor of the cities are able to
make a few fires of wood, but
coal is beyond the reach of any
except the most wealthy.
American coal lies unsold at the
seaports. On account of the
high freights anthracite costs
more than $40 a ton.

FINLEY INTRODUCES
INTERESTING BILLS
Measures for Building at York,
Cheraw and Winnsboro and
for Historical Purposes.

Washington, Jan. 19.-Con-
gresham Finley has introduc-
ed the following bills: To ap-

for the purpose of either en-
larging the public building at
Rock Hill or to acquire site
and erect suitable building
for the purpose of holding fed

100000.

a roster of officers and enlisted
men of both the Union and

ment to the memory of Gen.
Daniel Morgan, the hero of the

Ell PaSO, Texas, Jan. 90
Francisco Villa has been cap
tured at Hacienda, San Geroni-
mo by Carranza forces under
General Cavazos, according to
a private telegram from Chi
'huahua City, received here. The
telegram came from the source
that first reported the massa-

who recently also captured Gen.
Jose Rodriguez, one of Villas
generals.
a message announcing Vii
las capture also has been re-
ceived at the office of the Amer
lean Smelling and Refining COM
pany.
Messages from chihuahua
City confirming reports of the
capture of Villa stated that a
number of bandits who partici-
pated in the Santa Ysabel mas
sacre were also captured and
are being brought to Chihua-
hua City for execution.
Carranza Consul Garcia eX-
planned that his confirmation of
the report of the capture of
Villa was based on unofficial,
but reliable information. He
telegraphed to Chihuahua City
asking official information
from Gen. Jacinto Trevino, the
military chief of the Northern
States.
At the same time message
was prepared to be filed in the
event of formal confirmation
requiring that Villa be sent to
JuareZ to be executed at the
race track. This message was
written at the office of Gen.
Gabriel Gavira, commandant at
Juarez, who said he had receiv-
ed nothing official concerning
the capture of the outlaw chief
tain.
Reports received here indica-
ted that Villa had been hemmed
in a triangle formed in the
mountains. Col. Maximiano
Marquee was on the southwest
point, marching from MADEIRA.
Col. Jose Alexandra was closing
in from the northwest, while
Gen. Cavacos advanced from
the southeast.

Several House Bills.
(By S. f. Bailes.)

Columbia, Jan. 2O-The Lilies
bill imposing a chaingang SEN
tence, without the alternative
of a fine, for selling alcoholic
liquors in South Carolina, pass
ed the house by a large major
ity and has been sent to the
senate. | voted for this because
/ think that the people by their
vote last September indicated
that they wanted real prohibi-
ton. When a blind tiger is
fined it amounts to practically
a high license, and he does not
stop his nefarious practice.
! voted against the bill to
raise the dog tax from SO cents
to $1.00. Nearly all towns COL
lect about one dollar municipal
tax on dogs in addition to the
fifty cents tax, and I felt that it
would be manifestly unfair to
the town people who wish to
keep a dog to further increase
their tax for this purpose. AS
to the "nigger's" dogs, they
will not be returned anyway.
This bill was killed.
For the first time in fifteen
years, the house and senate
both worked on Lees birthday.

the temperature in cotton mills

would promote the health and
comfort of the operatives.
John z. White, of Chicago,
gave an interesting and instruc-
tive address to the house last
night on the single tax subject,
advocating the taxation of un-
improved lands rather than the
products of labor.
Capt. j. M. Hough, of Lam
caster, was a pleasant visitor on
the floor of the house yester-
day. Capt. Hough was mem
ber of the house for eight years
when he was a resident of
