Campaign Against Illicit Sale
of Booze Continues ReIent-
IeSSIy as Statewide PrOhi-
bitiOn Law Is Enforced

SEATTLE. Wash, June 1O.-Seattle
officials, backed hv Mayor Hiram c. Gill,
are continuing their relentless war on
bootleggers and all violators of the
statewide prohibition law.
THE law says dry and dry it shall
be- is the slogan of Chief of Police
Charles Rockingham.
The booze law enforcement squad Of
forty policemen enjoyed a triumphal pa
rade here recently when they drove a
long procession of auto trucks, loaded
to the rails with confscated liquors. TO
safekeeping at city headquarters Dur
ing that one afternoon they raided
twelve drug stores, two storage ware
houses and an extinct hotel bar room
or two. In all they collected $4,000
worth of fine French wines, old whis-
kies and a large quantity of plebeian
beer.
Mayor Gill and Chief Rockingham
were the prime movers in this official
booze party"
1T isn't reasonable that these places
should have so much liquor in their
possession, if they are obeying the law
said Mayor Gill. III give them a rea-
sonable time to prove their right to the
stuff and if they don't do it, well pour
IL in a sewer"

more rapidly the erection of the first
great building around which the uni
Versity is to be built. 1t will be COM

ROAST BY BLEASE DRAWS
GOV. MANNING TO HIS FEET
For a Time Looked Like Fight
Between Two South Car
DINA Candidates
Especial Dispatch to The JournalJ


ANDERSON. S. c.. June 24.-When
Governor Manning Jumped to his feet
and approaching former Governor Blease
during the latter's speech here today,
the audience of 5000 yelled and shout
ed to such an extent that what passed
between them couldn't be heard at the
press table so great was the din. Coun-
ty Chairman FOLLY was soon between
them and while Governor Manning stood
facing him gesticulating and talking for
mer Governor Blease smiled, picked up
a glass, took a drink of water, and
motioned the crowd to sit down.
The governor returned to his seat and
Blease resumed his speech which was
a blister for the Manning admintstra-
ton This was the first old-time cam
paign the crowd met with this year
and the shouts of Tell it to him, Collie"
and That's right" showed the approval
which the Andersonites gave to the lam
basting that the former governor gave
the present occupant of the office. Mr..
Blease also flayed the present legisla-
ture, telling the people If they couldn't
get one better than the present one they
would be better off without any and
the crowd yelled it's approval.
Governor Manning opening the speak
ing was given reSpectIul nearing
after the county chairman had remind
ed the audience to be quiet. When he
concluded there was an effort from a
small crowd to cheer him, but they
were drowned out by the mighty vol
umes of shouts, "Hurrah for Blease."
Robert A. Copper came next for gov
ernor and his ringing declaration to the
people to lay aside factionalism and
stand for a progressive policy was lib
orally cheered. He began under rather
trying circumstances for about one
third of the crowd begun to leave De
fore he was introduced.
However as he warmed to his subject
the people came back and he held their
close attention throughout, getting
a round of applause when he finished
that easily proved him the second in
favor of those present today.
John Madison Deschamps scored the
crowd for the way they had treated
Governor Manning and paid tribute to
him. He said that factionalism was not
dead, pleaded with them to forget their
passions and prejudices. He said that
either he would be governor or he would
elect Copper if he could The next
meeting will be at Greenwood Tuesday.

MANY LIVES WERE LOST
WHEN SHIP HIT MINE
Steamer Mercury Sank in Five
Minutes After Explosion in
Black Sea

PETROGRAD. June 23.-(Via Lon
n.)-The loss of life on the steamer
Mercury, sunk by a mine in the Black
sea, has been undoubtedly large from
late reports received in regard to the
disaster.
The mercury was travelling from
Odessa to Kherson with 500 passengers.
She struck the mine thirteen miles
from Odessa and two miles off shore in
a rough sea, and sank in five minutes.
Only two lifeboats were launched and
both. laden with passengers, were over
turned.
Boats rescued passengers who were
strong swimmers or who floated to
them on fragments of wreckage. In
this way a majority of the passengers
were saved, but a large number are
unaccounted for.
