The iron-clad, alright prohibition
measure of Mr.. ". p. Richey, Jr.,
of Laurens, having received a favor
able report from tn committee on po-
lice regulations, the bill goes on the
calendar for consideration today, and
the whole liquor problem will prob
ably soon come up for discussion up
on this proposition. There are num-
Der of other liquor measures in both
branches, covering every phase of the
entire question. and a fight which
will consume much time of the ses-
sion is looked for. The Richey pro-
hibition bill may come any time. A
good many Of the prohibitionists are
getting their forces together to sun
port. it. In an interview given The
Charleston American some days ago,
Former Governor Blease said that II
the people wanted prohibition, they
ought to have it-that he was in ia
vor Of what the people want, when
they have expressed themselves at
the ballot box. The people should
rnle." he said. "and the legislature
should carry out the will of those who
have sent them here to represent
them"
The whole liquor question IS up in
the air, and nobody knows what will
be done with it at this session.
The measures proposed looking to-
wards the abolition of the warehouse
system may be reached today. Nr.
Cichey, of Laurens. tried to get this
matter up in the house Tuesday night,
but his motion was ruled out on

point of order, to the effect that the
printed bill had not been on the
desks of the members for the requir-
ed length of time. Mr.. Richey, who Is
a friend of the system, and who has
neen voting for Senator McLaurln
for reelection, wanted this matter de-
cided before further balloting was
had for warehouse commissioner. His
position was that the general Assem-
bly, ought to express itself as to :.s
attitude upon the maintenance of the
system before taking up further time
balloting for a commissioner, in view
of the fact that measures had bee?l
proposed in both houses to eliminate
tile system entirely Mr.. Richey Will
make an effort to get this matter be-
fore the house today, before the time
for the meeting of the joint assembly
to take another ballot, and will en-
deavor to get final decision upon it.
The bill to abolish the system has an
unfarorable committee report in the
house.
The measure proposed by Mr.. W.
r. Bradford of York providing for a
constitutional amendment prohibit
ing the legislature from imposing bond
issues upon counties, or subdivisions
thereof, without referendum to the
people. except for past indebtedness,
is scheduled for consideration today.
The measure was killed by a narrow
margin Tuesday morning, and at night
the vote was reconsidered,- and de-
bate adjourned until 1870 today.
Biennial sessions Of the general as
sembly, a revision of the insurance
code Of the State; the proposition for
equal suffrage for women the liquor
laws; four-year terms for State Off
GERS; the question of calling a con-
stitutional convention, which is now
before both houses; bills to reduce the
legal rate of interest to six per cent.
which have been unfavorably report
ed by the house committees; the pro-
position to establish a home for the
feebleminded, and other matters of
Importance, will confront the general
assembly when it reconvenes this
morning. One of the most stringeu:
liquor bills, aside from the iron-clad
measures introduced, is that by Sena-
tor Charlton DuRant. of Clarendon,
providing for the exclusion from
South Carolina of all liquor adver-
tisements in newspapers, magazines,
on bill boards, or elsewhere.
The most important matter, how
ever, which will have to be consider
ed by the general assembly during
his session is the financial condition
of the State. The proposition up 10
them is how to hold down the ex-
penditures within the revenue, with
cut iscreasing the levy to nine or ten
mills.
The legislature is now in the midst
Of its third week. The average ses-
sion is forty days. Unless there IS
some further "tie-up," it is expected
that adjournment will be reached by
February %. There are many i'm
portant matters, howeve2, demanding
attention.

SEEING BUSY NEW YORK WITH DOLLY DALRYMPLE DURING THE WAR TIMES
 Service Organizations Women Are Conducted

At No 10 East Forty-third street Miss Caroline Lewis, chief executive in charge of the New York camp of the Girl Scouts, explained that the field in which this organization will prove most effec- tive and valuable to our country during the war, will be in nursing.
 Not the Red Cross kind of work, '" Miss Lewis said, although of course the scouts take a course in first aid. The nursing that we are learning is to take care of the babies and the children. We want to take our places in the day nurseries if mothers are forced to so out of the home when their husbands are called to the colors. Our country will need the mothers to fill the posi- tions vacated by the men who go to war and our girl scouts ranging in age from 6 to IS are equipping themselves to nurse the children left at home or placed in the various day nurseries. Another activity In which the Girl Scouts will be engaged is "signaP' work. There are many girls now being taught the international sem aphore code. They are learning to cook and also learning the regular canteen methods, while as messengers they Will prove valuable in times of strenuous con- ditions. The Girl Scouts of America of fered their services to the American Red Cross when war was first declared and they were accepted. At present here in New York we are arranging to ally our activities for war relief work with the National League for Women's Service, in which Mrs. William H. Vanderbilt, Miss Anne Morgan, Miss Maude Wet more, Mrs. Borden Hartman, and others are working earnestly
 I found this fact insistent and appeal ing in my heart after I had visited the various patriotic organization I have mentioned while in the metropolis; that the women of New York (and how many real ones there are despite the white lights, the cabarets, the butterfly so- ciety trifles, and the dazzle and bril- liancy of worldly things), do not drop on their knees at the tragic of the worlds history. They stand up like men and do things.
 The woman note today is universal. The war queens of today have changed somewhat since Beadicea's s time; the Am azonian precedent has shown no sign of revival; women are not only the first aid' to men in war, but are & great sustaining force in the war campaign.
 The women of New York-the women of America-will sacrifice their sons and fathers and husbands to the firing line'' if the country needs them, and they will remain at home and make it possible for the campaign of their beloved country to go onl

COMMUNITY SINGING
 OF NATIONAL SONGS
tauqua Has Met General Approval

Community singing of national songs
 will be a patriotic feature of the Bir-
 mingham Redpath chautauqua which be-
 gins in East park next Tuesday and com tinues for seven days.
 Community singing performs a distinct mission-that of unifying the feelings of the audience-and the community sing ing of national songs has for it's pur-
 pose the kindling of a community spirit of patriotism This fact was recently recognized by Frank c. Lowden, governor of Illinois, who in a proclamation to the people of that commonwealth declared: One of the great unifying, nationaliz- ing influences is the singing of our na- tional songs Nothing so arouses and fixes a sound and patriotic sentiment as the singing of these songs. We should learn to sing these songs ourselves and our children should learn them.''
 This patriotic feature has met with general approval in all the chautauqua cities and at each people have sung their patriotism in the big chautauqua tent. The singing is under the general super vision of w. l.. Tomlins, origiantor of the | Tomlns' idea of community singing. l The children's hour work is another community feature which has been won derfully received in chautauqua this sea son. This work is in charge of a trained children's worker and eliminates on the 1 evening of the sixth day in a Mother
 Goose festival in which fully 150 chil-
 dren of the city will take part.

Ole Miss, hits CT Wise Gardener dat knows what Gums Up! Yassuml

dolph Hearst, Mrs. Charles E. Hughes
 and other notable women are inter ested workers, I found spirit of
 earnestness and enthusiasm which was
 most typical of the American woman
 in times of great stress and anxiety. From Mrs. John Hammond, who is the president of this "The Militia of Mercy" and whose work last summer during the terrible scourage of infantile paralysis in New York, was of the most valiant and telling sort, I gathered some interesting data. The real object of the big organization which she so ably represents, the spe- cifc object of "The Militia of Mercy is to provide for the families of the naval militiamen and the naval re- cruits
 Mrs Hammond said in explaining the work:
 'The naval militia-the only reserve to which the navy could look for of ficers and men in the event of war who have been holding themselves in readiness to respond when our coun- try needed them, have been called to
 the colors. With wives and little ones, with mothers and sisters dependent upon them, these bread winners have marched away to 'an unknown destina- tion,' their step firm, their heads held high, their eyes fixed on the Stars and Stripes and their hearts filled with the never failing spirit of the true Ameri- can patriot.
 And while we get no visible sign from these men who go eagerly, fear
 lessly to their posts of duty, we well
 know that within each breast there turks a great, aching fear for the safe ty and welfare of those who watched them go--watched them through eyes that glistened with unshed tears. These volunteer sailors, who have established their homes and assumed obligations in their civil life, are now suddenly summoned to serve their country and the incomes of a great majority of them will thereby be re- duced to figure entirely inadequate to supply those dependent upon them with the necessaries of life. Could any group of people make a stronger appeal for assistance than do these families left behind? And yet | they do not appeal. Some of them would rather starve to death than ask for
 aid. Therefore we ask in their stead
 Not for aims. but for the assistance which it is our privilege to give and 1 their right to expect in order that they may adjust their lives to the vicissi- tudes which the absence of the wage earner will bring about.
