NEARLY 100000 IN LICENSES.
State Highway Commission Makes
Statement of Fees Received.

Columbia, July "a total of $780,
637.06 has been paid into the State
Highway department today for IL
censes on automobiles, motorcycles,
and for dealers, stated J. Roy Pen
nell, State highway engineer, this
morning.
With the exception of about 1000
or 5000 delinquents all the automo-
bile owners in the State have secured
licenses in conformity with the law,
thinks Mr.. Pennell. 1t is estimated
that there are approximately $4,000
owners of automobiles in South Car
olina.
"The enforcement of the law re-
quiring automobile owners to secure
licenses by July is left entirely with
the local officials in each county, and
they are somewhat reluctant in en-
forcing it, stated the highway en-
gineer. Probably, however, this is
partly due to the impression that
prevails among some officials that
the enforcement of this law rests
with the State Highway commission.
That there is a false impression prev
alent throughout the State relative
to the permits recently issued by
the highway department, is state
ment made by Mr.. Pennell. He ex-
planned that these permits were CIV
en- to automobile owners when they
paid their licenses, and the depart
ment was out of license plates, to
show that they have been issued to
holders of permits and it is no long
er legal to operate motor-propelled
vehicle without the plate being at
tached thereto.
Richland county so far leads with
the number of licenses secured. Next
ir order of registration comes Spar
tanburg, Greenville, Anderson, Char
lesion and Orangeburg counties.
Four-ffths of the money secured
from license fees reverts to the coun-
ty of it's origin and the other one
fifth is used for the purchase of Ii
cense plates and the maintenance OF
the highway department. -

LIGHTNING PLAYS TRICK
Does Everything to This Man But
Kill Him.

ST. Matthews, July 10.-While sit
ting in his home observing the prog
ress of the storm, Frank Wanna
maker, negro living upon the plan
people have. The lightning struck
ern section of the county, had an ex-
perience Saturday evening that few
people have. he lightning struck
the building, following the facing on
the corner until it reached the level
of Wannamaker. 1t then leaped to
his body, made path from his
shoulder to the hand, then started
again on the upper portion of his
body, traversed his left side down to
the tip of his toes, tearing his trous-
ers and bursting part of his shoe
from his foot and concluding with
slight split of the flesh between the
toes. He was knocked unconscious
and was deaf for day, but his ply
sician says that aside from being a
bit sore and somewhat nervous from
the shock, he shows no signs of per-
manent impairment.

CUCUMBER TRAFFIC HELPS.
Northen Buyers on Blackville Mark.
ct Paying Good Prices.

Blackville, June 16.-The streets
of Blackville have presented quite a
hustling appearance in the last two
weeks on account of the cucumber
traffic. They are lined with wagons,
automobiles and trucks loaded with
cucumbers. Buyers from the North
ern markets are on the streets meet
ing the loads as they come in and
making competitive bids to the farm
ers in order to get the crop, paying
in some cases as high as 50 per crate.
This has been such good market
that farmers have hauled their crops
here from around neighboring towns,
some coming from near the Aiken
county line. The banks are having
more deposits than they have had in
any past truck season. Numbers OF
small farmers, who had only a few
acres. have already cleared money
until they are placing orders for tour
ing cars.
The cantaloupe crop in most cases
bids fair to be a good one and the
farmers are also expecting fine re-
turns for this crop.

then by himself, Congressman Rich
ard S. Whaley made the following
statement, when asked if he had any
thing to say:
"'I had given the appointment to
a. young man and he declined it on
the 18th of June by wire. The 18th
of June was the last day on which
the appointment could be sent in to
the department for this entrance ex-
animation. This young man Knis-
ley had passed all examinations and
had been notified to report at the
academy on the 18th of June. He
had written me some time before ask
ing for an appointment when l did not
have one which 1 could give him. He
had every reason to believe that the
designation which he had as an al
ternate was bona fide. He had gone
to a preparatory school and studied
for the examinations, stood them
and successfully passed them. When
| found out that he was Charleston
boy, and that l had this appointment
available l was unwilling to disap-
point him in his life ambition. There
fore, l gave him the appointment.
had been informed that the young
man had claimed he was a resident
of Chester, but it is well understood
that young men are appointed from
districts and States in which they do
not reside and have to name some
place in the district or State from
which they get the appointment, and
the department overlooks this in or
der to have the vacancies filled.
Doubtless young Knisley knew, or
had been informed by those in whom
he had confidence, who in turn had
gained their knowledge from the de-
partment, that this course was Gus
tomary and recognized. | believe
the young man was guilty Of no NOR
al turpitude and will make a good
officer and reflect credit on the ap-
pointment. There is many an officer
serving in the navy today and many
a boy in the academy who has never
been in the district from which he
was appointed.

NOT ANXIOUS FOR MEX. HELP.
U. S. Not Advising Carranza to
Break Relations With Germany.

Washington, July 10.-Reports
that Mexico is about to break with
Germany led to the authoritative
statement that any such move would
not be based on advice given by the
American government.
Ambassador Fletcher, who came
here to report in detail to Secretary
Lansing on conditions in Mexico, has
told the State department that de-
spite some Improvement in Mexican
affairs generally, much remains to
cause concern to the American gov
ernment. This circumstance is con-
sidered important because break
with Germany would give Mexico an
opportunity to get money and place
the United States under certain OBJ
LEGATIONS.
Those officials who have not been
eager to see Mexico join in the war
do not object to seeing Gen. Carran-
"a supplied with money, but they be-
lieve that without contributing much
real aid to the Allies, Mexico would
make it hard for the United States,
France, Great Britain and other ma
tions with grievances against her to
assume stern attitude after the
war.

GERMANY on EVE OF UPHEAvAL.
Developments Point to Realignment
in Favor of Reforms.

Berlin, July 7.-Unless present in
dications fail in the next few days
the German Empire is on the eve OF
a momentous if not historical parlla-
mentary upheaval. Developments un-
der the gilded dome of the Reic!:stag
building in the last forty-eight hours
point squarely to significant real
ignment in favor of the sTeepin g
electoral and parliamentary reforms,
in spite of the stubborn resistance
of the reactionary old guard.
Although the sessions Of the main
committee and the constitutional
committee have been of an executive
nature, the press comments in this

ence that the discussions of vital sub
jects of governmental policy fire.
quently reached the boiling point.
Gravely Significant.
That they have been of gravely
significant import is indicated clearly
by the sudden decision to postpone
the Saturday preliminary session,
which was to have marked the open
ing of the general debate and the ex-
pected surprise of Chancellor Won
Bethmann-Hollweg. The absence of
the chancellor from the sessions in
the last few days has caused general
comment. Late yesterday it was an
nounced that the desire Of the chan
cel,or to inform himself more thor
oughly on the nature of the commit
tees was responsible for the delay of
the general sessions.
Monday will mark the inauguration
of what promises to be one of the
most memorable parliamentary ses-
sions in the history of the empire.
The chancellor was present yester-
day when the committee convened.
All the Reichstag factions remained
in individual groups until late last
night to decide what line of action
should be taken.
Call on Chancellor.
The Zeitung Ammitag says a depu-
tation of six of the Social-Democratic
party called on Chancellor Won Beth
mann-Hollweg last Friday for the
purpose of impressing the gravity OF
the situation on him. The delegates
insisted that the chancellor make an
unequivocal declaration that the gov
erment was prepared at any time to
enter into peace negotiations on the
basis of the status quo.
Representatives of the Progressive
Peoples party and of the Natlonal
Liberals also were in conference with
the chancellor.
There are rumors that Prof. Adolf
Won Harnack, one of the most init
mate advisors of the Emperor, is
slated to succeed Herr Won Trott Zu
Zolz as Prussian minister of educa-
ton. The present minister is said to
be opposed to sweeping electoral re-
forms.
