the Vanderburg case. where a brewing
company is plaintiff. Ii Is the plan to
have quick trial 81 Lake county and
take an appeal in time f0r the supreme
court to consider that case along with
the one from Vanderburg county.
One brewing company attorney Is
reported to have said it would be folly
for the saloons TO try 70 Keep pen 81
for the brewertes 70 try to continue
business. for il would only aggravate
the charge that those engaged in the
liquor business are law violators
Another Laws Effect.
1t may De that another law passed a.
the same session OF the legislature IS
the prohibition Law. has had something
to do with the decision not TO attempt
10 continue business Tho other law
says that mo license or extension OF
license 10 sell intoxicating liquors at
retail or Wholesale in the state OF In
diana. shall. prior TO April ?. 1918, be
granted To ans person except such per
son be present holder % such q
license or shall become the holder of
such by lawful transfer Or order Of
the court The purpose OF this law
was to terminate ali licenses April 2.
1918
It IS not regarded as probable that
any board OF county commissioners
would undertake TO grant a license af-
ter April unless the supreme court
held the law unconstitutional
The supreme court will hear oral ar
guments April on the appeal from
Vanderburg county. How soon the de-
csion vii be made after the arguments
are made is uncertain.
When Lew Takes Effect
Many persons have asked the prose
cutting attorneys and the attorney-gen-
eraI when the dry Law takes effect
They desire to know whether the So
looms will -be-elosed on April 2. The
law is plain on this point 1 says
that after the End day OF April Il shall
be unlawful" This means that sa-
looms will be open on April up to
closing time on the night Of that day

occurred the viaduct and Germans
were blown up together. The crew.
OF the submarine, consisting Of six
men, escaped on board a dingy to a
motor launch.
EARLY in the fighting a German
shell knocked out our Howitzer,
which had been getting in some good
shots on big German seaplane sta
tion on the mole half a mile away.
This Is the largest seaplane station
IN Belgium. Unfortunately, our
other gums could not be brought to
bear effectively upon it.
"The shell which disabled the
'Howitzer killed all the members OF
the gun crew. Many men also were
killed by German she'll which hit
the mole close to our ship and scat
tered fragments Of steel and stone
among the marines assembling on the
deck around the gangway.
"The German fire was very hot all
the time we lay alongside the mole.
At times the German guns reached as
high as 40 shots a minute. During
the hottest part of the lighting l left
my station in the fame house and
went all around the ship to see how
things were going. The spirit Of the
men was excellent. All they asked
was Are we winning?"
Half an hour after the block ships
went in, we received the signal to
withdraw The Vindictives siren
was blown and the men returned
from all parts Of the mole and
thronged down the gangway. We put
off after having laid alongside just
about an hour. The Germans made
no effort to interfere with our get
ting away other than 10 continue
their heavy firing"
The Vindictive was provided with
plenty of defensive equipment in case
the Germans attempted to board her.
The heaviest casualties Of the ex-
pedition appear to have been inflict-
ed on the personnel Of the Its, many
on board being killed by shell
which burst on the bridge. Another
shell won't clear through the Iris.
OF the casualties on board this yes
sci more than third were killed.
Funeral services for the men who
were lost will be held here to-mor-
row. A memorial service for Capt.
II. G. Hallihan, who commanded the
seamen's storming party, was held
to-day.

Retirement from Rural
Police Force Of OcOnec.

Editor Keowee Courier: At the
request of many friends and citizens
Of Oconee county | applied for the
position Of rural constable and was
appointed February &c, 1917.
have served fourteen months in that
capacity and have always tried to
perform my duty faithfully, without
fear or favor, having an eye-single
to the enforcement Of the law.
Like all men who have held public
United States down to the humblest
constable have been criticised,
have made some friends and some
enemies, but, friend or foe, l have
tried to be fair, just and honest to
all alike. l have tried to avoid the
bringing Of false or trivial charges
against any one, thereby running the
county to unnecessary expense; but
whenever the peace and good order
of society was disturbed and brought
to my notice, or discovered by me, /
have spared no time or expense to
apprehend and convict the guilty.
l have not measured my official du
ties by dollars and cents, because l
am Of the opinion that peace officer
Is best known as good officer by
the peace he keeps and not by the
amount he turns into the treasurer's
office. A distinguished chief Of po-
lice of large city In the United
States truly said that his best patrol
man, he considered, was the man who
kept peace and good order, enforced
the law and reported the least fines
at the end Of the month.
TO those who have held up my
hand and stood by me in the perform
ance Of my delicate, and sometimes
dangerous, duties tender my heart
felt thanks; and If any have wrong
ed me, Intentionally or otherwise, I
freely forgive them in the spirit Of
our Saviour, who said on the cross,
'Father. forgive them" And in the
! same spirit invoke the forgiveness
of any I may have offended, and as
sure them it was an error Of the mind
and not of the heart.
Permit me to express my sincerest
thanks to your paper for the fairness
and justice always shown me in the
| recording Of my official acts and ell
couragement given me In the dis
charge Of my duties.
For business reasons, and because
l deem it my duty to my family,
have resigned the Office. and I feel
that my record has been straight,
clean and honest; and should 1 ever
ask for public office again, I invite
! the closest scrutiny of all my official
acts and conduct, by which | am
willing to be judged.
