department today issued a warning
to the public against Solicitors OF
so-called historical books and publi-
cations of no historical value, and

poses" The department has been.

''In order to more fully enforce
the prohibition law after July a
new man, Mr.. Wannamaker, has
been added to the local revenue
force, making six men employed in
the work of running down distiller-

in this section that the local revenue
men have been unable to operate in
any but four counties, Grenville, An
derson, Pickens and Oconee, al
though the territory in this district
includes 18 counties. It is possible
that the force will have to be in
creased after July 1"
+. Governor Cooper has called the
law officers of the State to con-
ference, at which the enforcement
of all laws will be discussed.

counsel was asking Mr.. Bethea if
people in Columbia had received
commissions without any service at
all, or without going to training
camp, when objection was made on
the ground that the commissions
would be the best evidence Of that
fact. Former Attorney General
Lyon, of counsel for Bethea, in ar
guing the point, said that that court
court didn't know that either of the
majors sitting ii court We're majors
except by word of mouth, that they
had produced no commissions.
Major Marchetti arose, and ad-
dressing the court, said that the Of
fcers were not present for the pur-
pose Of being ridiculed, that he,
would confess he was somewhat ex-
cited and that this thing had to stop.
+ Judge Townsend told the major if
he was excited he could go on out of
court, that he didn't have to stay.
: The major said he was an attorney
and knew his rights, and demanded
that ''these gentlemen, if they are
such, will address US with the proper
title, or else we will see that it is
carried out in the future AS SOL
der, he contended that he was not
under the jurisdiction of the court.
The court ruled that the major
had submitted himself to the jurisdic-
ton of the court when he came into
court, and requested that the major
behave himself.
Mr.. Lyon said the threats Of a ma
jor would not intimidate him IN the
slightest. The major left the court
room.
Governor Cooper has made an ex-
lcellent selection in the appointment
of Mr.. John M. Kinard of Newberry
as a Hember of the new state bureau
of exports and marketing, along
with ]. M. Nixon of Charleston and

Special to The Herald and News.
Columbia, June /3O.-The libel suit
of Andrew Jackson Bethea, former
lieutenant gove ernor of South Caro-
lima, against /the Columbia Record
Publishing company and R. Charlton
Wright editor and publisher of the
Record resulting Saturday afternoon
in verdict Of $4,000 for the plain
tiff, was ore Of the most interesting
cases, from several standpoints, IN
tie recent legal annals Of the State.
! Beginning on Tuesday morning,
the trial of the case consumed FIVE
days of the court.
=! Bethea charged that the Record had
libelled him in articles published n
February charging that the authori-
ties at Camp Jackson had called him
to camp, and there forced him to
take off his majors uniform, which
it was contended he was wearing
without authority and that the arti-
cles, in their statements and the
manner of their publication, were
false, and held him up to scorn, ridi-
cule, etc.
The former lieutenant governor
went to training school during the
early part of November of last year,
shortly before the signing of the
arnistice, and at the conclusion of
the course left the training school as
q private, for the reason, he stated,
that no commissions were then be-
ing issued in the chemical warfare
service. Later, in January, he was
given a commission as major in the
ordnance branch, resrve corps. 1t
was contended at the trial that Mr..
Bethea, never having been in active
service as major, had no right to
don an officers uniform, and this po-
/ sition was upheld. by the presiding
judge, However, having been dis
charged as a private, it appeared
that under the regulations he would
Rave had a right tq wear q priyate's
uniform for a reasonable time, not
to- excesd i three months, within
which to procure civilian clothing,
whereas the Record said, with consid-
1erable establishment, that he had
fdisrobed, }" and ....had no right o wear
any uniform at ALL"
As to his being 'sdisrobed" at
Camp jackson, the officers testified
that they had requested him to re-
move his majors uniform, but that
it had not been removed at the
camp. Sa.,a
The Record, in it's issue of Sunday,
February 9, displayed the matter in
big headlines across the entire first
page of the paper, and followed it
with other displayed articles, and
Mr.. Bethea contended that the pub
locations, both in the statements
which they contained and in the man
ner of their presentation, were false
and malicious. The jury, after a
hard fought legal battle, took his
view of the matter, with the result
stated.

All hour before the signing Of the
treaty, those. assembled in the hall
had been urged to take their seats,
but their eagerness to see the his

fused to keep their seats, and crowd
led toward the center Of the hal,
which is so long that q good view
was impossible from the dis ,ance.

observe satisfactorily. The seats
were in no way elevated, consequent

Secretary Lansing was the first Of
the distinguished diplomats to ar
rive. He was followed shortly by NJ.
|Clemenceau and General Bliss. Few
|of the spectators recognized any OF
the diplomats as they came in, and
there were no demonstrations.
The delegates of the minor powers
made their way with difficulty
through the crowd to their places at
the table. Officers and civilians lin
ed the walls and filled the aisles.
President Wilson's arrival ten min
utes before the hour for signing was
greeted by faint burst of applause
from the few persons WHO were able
Ito see him.
The German correspondents were
ushered into the hall shortly before
9 o'clock and were given standing

CO. asnt's section.

rived many of the delegates sought

themselves signing copies of the Off

tered the room.
At 8 o'clock hush fell over the
hall and dthe crowds shouted for the
officials who were standing to sit
down, so as not to block the view.
The delegates showed some surprise
at the disorder which did not cease
until all the spectators either had
seated themselves or found places
against the wall.
At seven minutes past 8 DR.. Her

for foreign affairs, and Dr. Bell, the
colonial secretary, were shown into

The whole law of libel, together
with the statutes governing the
army, and the various rules and reg
ulations Of the war department as to
the wearing of the uniform, were in
volved in the trial, and number of
legal propositions, as well as a huge
mass of testimony, came before the
court and the jury.
Mr.. Bethea was secretaryto Gov
ernor. Ansel, later code Commission
er; then lieutenant governor for two
years, and was last summer a candi-
date for governor. The Record
charged that during all the hostili-
ties he had stayed out of the service
until shortly before the armistice
was signed, out Bethea presented a
letter which he wrote the president,
and a reply thereto, at the beginning
of hostilities, offering his services
while he was then lieutenant COVER
nor, and said he had tried to get into
training schools before he did get
into the one which he attended.
When the articles in the Record
first appeared, they created a con-
siderable sensation here, and the
course of the matter has been watch
ed with a great deal of interest. The
were scathing in their
tenor, and were shortly followed by
the filing Of the suit for 100000.

as witnesses by the defendant, and

Donaghey who was elected got- ernor several years ago. He then retired to his home county where he attended to private business and took part in the county politics. One of the most facts of his political career is that he was elected Speaker of the House during the first and only term he ever served in the State Legislature. No one-time representative, be- fore or since Judge Milwee's term of office, has ever been elevated to the speakership."
 MT. Milwee has the distinction of being the most successful politician in Monroe county, only once was he ever bumped and that was when Harry liar ris defeated him for the Senate, but Milwee had the ability to "come back" and since then has been on top. He is a clever clean hitter and the chances are that the man who defeats Milwee will be Governor of Arkansas.
