NO MERCY IS
 RESERVED FOR BO0TLECCERS

Reports from the Third division show that the violators of the dry law are being shown no mercy there. Owing to the activity of Special Of ficer Bourke, of Valdez. and the depu ty marshals at Cordova. Valdez, Sew ard and Anchorage, the path of the booze peddler is not strewn with roses. At Seward John Olson was arrested for having concealed about his premises a large quantity of li- quor. He entered the plea of guilty in the Commissioners court and was fined $10O and sentenced to one year in jail. and the liquor was ccn- fscated and turned over to the mar. shal. .yt
 In a trench in his cellar in Sew ard. Charles A. Tecklenberg had con- cealed 600 bottles of whiskey. which the officers located and delivered to the marshal. Tecklenberg was fined one thousand dollars upon pleading guilty in the Commissioners court.
 Bessy Marsh, also of Seward. was found in possession of five cases of liquor, which was confscated. She also said guilty, your honor." and paid three hundred and fifty dollars for her few minutes in court.
 At Cordova the proprietor of the Alaska Hotel was arrested by the deputy marshal for having ill his possession a stock of liquors, and the Commissioner at that place added one thousand dollars to Uncle Sam's coffers as a result of the proprietor's plea of guilty.
 The U. S. Marshal at Valdez now has stock of some eight thousand gallons of contraband liquors which have been confiscated since the first of the year.
 Special Officer Bourke, in his re- port to the Governors office, says:
 AS sporting proposition we have no large game hunting that equals this booze-chasing game, es- pecially now that there Is a continu- ous open season on booze; and with the courts taking the dry law SC. riously, and throwing the book at violators, it is great work k"-Juneau Dispatch.
 TOO MUCH WHIskEY.
 Robert Gottschalk, formerly of Valdez, who conducts the Alaska Ho- tel at Cordova, was taken into GUS tody at Cordova the other day by Deputy Marshal Fursman charged with violation of the dry law, accord ing to mail advices from there. A search of the Alaska Hotel premises by the marshal revealed cache of ty,o hundred and eight quarts of whiskey concealed between the floor and the ceiling. A man named Ter ry is also implicated in the affair Anchorage Times.
 MUCH BOOZE.
 The United States marshal's office has over 5000 quarts of liquor on hand, which they have confiscated since the dry law went into effect. They are holding this liquor sub ject to orders from Washington, D. C. The Anchorage division shipped out great quantity to the east, where it will be redistilled for medical pur- poses, but as yet the Juneau officials have not received any word regarding the disposal of their stock.-Juneau Empire.

 ing of the situation. Now that the status of the wool has been made public and fully explained, any furth- CT infringement would be from a less defensible motive. The Red Cross has power, of course, to write or wire in its name and have any garment that is lawfully it's property returned to the Chapter. Such a course would be most embarrassing to the donor, and, it is believed, would never be necessary.
 o. Can garments be sent thru the Red Cross, but to particularly indi- viduaIs in the army?
 A. When there were fewer men in the service, and the problems of transportation were less difficult, near relatives of men in active ser vice could turn their garments in thru the Red Cross. marked to go to indi' vidual men, Should the Red Cross ascertain that this man was not sup piled with the garment in question, and the submarine campaign permit ted, this was done. But on the last mail word was received that this practice has been stopped, for reasons that will be obvious to all who are familiar with the growing size of our army, and the scattered nature of its units.
 0. What is there that can do, then, thru the Red Cross, for a rela. tive or friend in the army?
 A. There is family in Fairbanks, known to us all, whose boy is in the army. They have made in the last few weeks. and turned in to the Red Cross, fl pairs of socks, r hospital bags. a pair of wristlets, a sweater, and some squares for con valescent spreads, as we'll as sev' eral knitting needles, made by hand when there was a shortage of sock needles in town. They know in their hearts that they are giving to their boy as truly as if they posted these articles to him directly. Should their boy be sick or wounded, or in need of comfort or care, the devoted arms and heart of the Red Cross will be near him, when he is far away and beyond their reach. In giving to the Red Cross they are indeed giving to him.
 And after all, while it is a gener ous and kindly thing to make a gift to a friend or a relative, and tC give it freely, is it not a more gen erous and a more kindly thing-the sort of thing that will bind us to gether as nation in way that no other thought or act of ours can possibly do-to make, not a personal gift, with its tag of pos sible personal gratitude, but free gift to the common cause? The men from Maine and Florida and California are making common cause to protect the women and Ichildrer and the sacred soil of the entire United States of America, are they not? And today the women of this country are learning, in their wal work, that lesson of standing to gether, shoulder to shoulder, in calm impersonal valiant endeavor, which our men are learning on the blood soaked fields of France. Is it not a greater, higher, better thing tc sink our individual likes and preju dices in this common cause, which is so vast that beside it every in dividual, even the noblest, becomes insignificant; and in one united, com mon endeavor find that peace through victory for which a tired world ear nestly prays?

IS ASPIRING TO BE
 MAYOR OF FOX CITY

It is rumored on good authority that E. A. (Whitehorse) Smith. who recently won Bond at Fox and later presided over a meeting there, has been persuaded that he is the proper person to fill the mayoralty chair of that place. A recent can vass showed that he would poll the majority of three votes there, and he is now considering running for the office.

the infirmities of age came upon her
and she broke completely down. An
other Christian institution was open
to her and to the Baptist Hospital
she was brought, where she was
cared for through weary weeks of
suffering.
The general public, busy with the
affairs of the world, does not know
how many lives are barren and bleak
nor how many such lives are relieved
of dull monotony and grim want by
such institutions as these two Chris
tan agencies named above. And the
fact that there are agencies of re-
lief for those in need of help is an
inspiration to all who desire to
serve their fellows.-The State.

MRS, SARAH ELLEN JORDAN
DIES IN COLUMBIA

Mrs. Sarah Ellen Jordan of Green
wood County, died at the Baptist
Hospital Sunday night and the body
was taken to her former home for
burial Monday. Mrs. Jordan was
the widow of the Rev. J. S. Jordan,
who for a generation was a popular
preacher in Greenwood and Able
Vile Counties. She was ~ years
old, and had been i'll, for a long
time. She is survived by an invalid
daughter.
The life of Mrs. Jordan was an
illustration of the self sacrificing de-
votion of one who was devoted to
her duty. She and her husband toll
ed together for the benefit of others
never once thinking of accommodating
gain as a reward for their labors.
Through many decades her husband
preached the gospel of love and
helpfulness and lived it. AS his
companion, Mrs. Jordan shared the
privations of a country preachers
poverty, and rejoiced with him in
the glories of service rendered. Then
came a day when he fell, and she
was left to fight the battle alone.
This she bravely did, occupying the
little country home they had built
together. An invalid daughter was
Mrs. Jordan's constant care, and she
bore the burden with a love un-
ouenched and a devotion that was
beautiful.
Friends directed the attention of
DR.. C. C. Brown to her, and the
Baptist Board of Ministerial Relief
took her up, and for more than 10
wears, DIR. Brown, as treasurer of his
hoard, has sent her a monthly sum
to help her in her struggle. Then

THE GOVERNMENT CALLS.

The campaign for the sale Of War
Savings Stamps begins today. The
government must have money to
wage war. The government is Of
fering to the people the best secur-
ity on earth for the loan Of the
necessary money. The government
does not desire to be forced to
raise the enormous sums of money
necessary to carry on the war by
direct taxation at a time when the
people are in poor shape to assume
the burdens. .,'
But we are going to win the war,
and it takes money to win. The
government has the power of tax
alton, it can raise the money other
wise than by means which will least
offend the welfare Of the people!
but the government prefers to raise
the money, as we have already
said, by borrowing the money from
its citizens and by giving them the
best obligations to be had in the
world today-obligations bearing
interest too at a reasonable rate.
And of all the securities so far
offered by the government for the
purpose of raising money none are
20 good as the War Savings Stamps.
They have many points of advantage
in their favor. In the first place,
they may be bought by every person
who has as much as four dollars and
seventeen cents to save This much
money invested in a War Savings
Stamp brings to the investor in
January, 1923 the sun of five dol
lars. The Stamps, in order to amount
to this sum, bear interest at the
rate of four per cent. per annum,
compounded quarterly. The whole
amount of interest is kept by the
government, reinvested and paid
back to the investor in one sum.
There is no chance therefore to re-
ceive the income in small amounts
and waste it because it is small. The
whole amount of principal and in
terest being paid at once it may
be reinvested at maturity in other
securities or in other ways, and
thus in fact, as well as in name,
these stamps are a means of saving.

MAGMA CUM LAUDE.

DIR. Geo. W. Swope left Abbeville
Wednesday afternoon for Boston,
where he goes to attend the COM
mencement exercises in Harvard.
The mission is a pleasant one for
the doctor, as he is to witness the
graduation of his son, Leslie Miller
Swope, who is one of the leading
members of his class, being a magma
cum l.ude graduate. The record OF
young Leslie swope is a remarka-
BILE one.
Born on the other side Of the
continent, in Oregon City, Ore, on
july 10, 1898, he received his gram
mar school education at Elliott
Street School in the City Of Nash
Vile, Tenn, and at Benz. Franklin
School, in Norfolk. Va. In these
schools he completed the seven
grades in five years.
At the age Of IL years ne n
tered Mathew Fontaine Maury High
School, in the city of Norfolk. He
held various positions Of honor in
the high school, being vice-president
Of the Language Society and presl-
dent of the Hope Literary Society.
He won the Y. M. c. A. prize essay
was in the senior play, a member OF
The 1914 debating team, and gradu-
ated from the High School at the
age Of IL.
He entered Harvard when he was
1e years of age, holding the Rum
rill Scholarship in 1s14-15, the
Bright Scholarship in 1856, the
Addison Brown Scholarship in 1916
II. and the Bowditch Scholarship
during this year. He was a MEM
Der of the Freshman Class Debating
Team in 1914 and vice-president OF
the Debating Club. He obtained
honorable mention in the contest
for the Bowdoin prize in 1915 and
was n of the four to be chosen as
a Sheldon Fellowship scholar Th's
honor ordinarily would have en-
titled him to a years travel abroad
with travelling expenses paid, but
on account of the war, this feature
has been discontinued for the pres
ent.
We noticed sometime ago that
Mr.. swope was elected as a member
Of the Phi Beta Kappa Society, a
distinction which comes to very Few
Of the students, the award beng
made for highly distinguished schol-
arship. Mr.. Swope is also a mem
Der of the Sigma Alpha Psilon Fra
ternity.
Abbeville will feel proud to greet
the Young student when he returns
mere in a FIVE days full of honors'
Mr.. swope will spend the summer
in Abbeville. In the fall he Will
likelv return to Harvard where ne
will complete his law course.

It appears to us that we have a

drivers than are necessary for the
convenience of the community. In
fact we should not wonder if one
man said that he could do all the

A. L. MILLS DROWNED
NEAR HENDERSONVILLE,
Prominent Greenville Banker Was
Trying to Save a Man He Did !
Not Know.


Greenville, June 10.-Arthur L.
Mills, one of Greenville's foremost
business men, was drowned yester-
day shortly after loon in Laurel
Park Lake at Hendersonville, when
he attempted to rescue a man who
was sinking and calling for help.
The man he tried to save was also
drowned. The full name of the
man could not be learned last night,
but it is known that his name was
johnson, that his home was in Ashe-
vile, and that by trade he was a
linotype operator. Eye witnesses
stated that Johnson, when Mr.. NJ
attempted to take him to shore f
his perilous situation, caught -
Mills around the neck and they both
went down together, never to rise
again. A ifteen-year-old Hender-
sonville boy, whose name is not
known, dived and brought to shore
the lifeless body Of Mr.. Mills about
Is minutes after he sank. A pull
motor was brought to Henderson
Vile from Asheville and used in an
effort to resuscitate the body, but
without success. Several physicians
Of Hendersonville worked for a
long time trying to bring life back,
but they were also unsuccessful.

According to latest accounts it
seems that the government has
some doubt as to the ACCESSIBILITY
of allowing men to stay in deferred
classes who work one or two days
in the week, and play the balance
of the week. It seems doubtful
whether the families of such men
net as much from their labor as
they would receive if these men
were in the army.
