No Permits After June 80

Columbia, June 16.-No permits
for alcoholic liquors in South Caro-
lima must be issued after June 3l,:
according to an opinion issued by
Morris C. Lumpkin, assistant Attor-
ney General. The opinion Of Mr..
Lumpkin is based on pamphlet OF
instructions received by the internal
revenue department from Washing
ton. Mr.. Lumpkin's opinion was CIV
en- to ]. C. Davis Judge of probate of
Dillon county, who made inquiry If
permits were to be issued after June
80, when the liquor ordered for medi-
cal purposes. Immediately Mr.. Lump
kin took the matter up with D. Y.
Roper, commissioner Of internal re-
venue. The opinion concludes:
"An examination of the pamphlet
referred to in the commissioners
letter discloses no provisions what
ever allowing an individual the pri-
vilege of securing any alcoholic Ii
quors for medicinal or other personal
use. The commissioner refers to this,
and calls attention to the fact that to
secure non-beverage spirits or wines,
a permit must be obtained and a
bond given, and in case of wines for
sacramental purposes, certain affida-
Wits must be made.
"You are, therefore, advised that
it is the opinion of this office that
after June 80 the issuing of liquor
permits should be discontinued, as it
is believed that mo- delivery Of such
alcoholic liquors can be made under
the Federal law"

BRITISH PUT one
ON AMERICANS.
MAKE NONSTOP TRANS-AT
LANTIC FLIGHT WITHOUT
ACCIDENT

Capt. John Alcock and Lieut.. Ar
thur w. Brown, in their Vickers-
Vimy biplane, landed at Clifden,
Ireland, Sunday morning, complete
ing the first non stop airplane flight
across the Atlantic. Their trip from
St. Johns, N. F., was made in 16
hours IL minutes.
The landing was made at $40
o'clock, British summer time. In tax
ing the ground the machine struck
heavily and the fusilage ploughed
into the sand. Neither of the occu-
pants was injured.
Much of the flight was made
through a fog with an occasional
drizzle. This hampered the airman
considerably during their journey.
Captain Alcock explained the 81
lence of his radio instrument during
the trip by saying that the wireless
propeller blew off soon after the air
plane left Newfoundland.
1--WE We're much janmed by strong
wireless signals not intended for us,"
he added.
When word was received here OF
the accident to the machine in land
ing, arrangements were made Tor
mechanics to leave London immedi-
ately to make repairs
Word came from Clifden this af-
ternoon that the pilot and the navi-
gator of the biplane were leaving
for Galway, whence Lieutenam
Brown planned to travel by train to
London, arriving there Tuesday morn
ing. Captain Alcock, however, hoped
to be able to fly to London in the
machine which made the record
flight as soon as it could be repaired.
It is planned to have him give an ex-
hibition over London in the machine,
if possible.
The Aero Club received message
from Clifden not long after the
transatlantic fiers landed signed
by them. Which merely stated that
they had completed the flight in l6
hours and IL minutes. They request
ed instructions from the club. In re-
ply the club telegraphed Caytain Al
cock:
Keep machine intact until obsery-
er arrives.
The air ministry stated that cer-
tain markswere put on the airplane
at Newfoundland which must be OH
cially identified by member Of the
royal air force before the flight is
declared to be officially completed.

that when victory was Won, compro-
mise as to peace terms was impso-
sible and just punishment should be
meted out and continues:
Justice, therefore, is the only pos
sible basis for the settlements Of the
accounts of this terrible war. Justice
is Just what the German delegation
asks for and says that Germany has
been promised. But it must be just
ice Tor all. There must be justice for
the dead and wounded and for those
who have been made orphans and be-
reaved that Europe might be free
from Prussian despotism. There
must be justice for those millions
whose homes and lands, ship and
property, German savagery has
spoilated and destroyed.
THAT is why the Allied and asso-
ciated powers have insisted as car
dinal feature of the treaty that Ger
many must undertake to make repa-
ration TO the very uttermost of her
power, for reparation for wrongs in
flicted is of the essence Of justice"
That is why they insist that those
individuals who are most clearly re-
sponsible for German aggression and
for acts of barbarism and inhumani-
ty which have disgraced the German
conduct of the war must be handed
over to justice, which has not been
meted out to them at home.
"That, too, is why Germany must
submit for a few years to certain
special disabilities and arrange
ments. Germany has ruined the in
dustries, the mines and the machin-
cry of neighboring countries, not
during battle, but with the deliberate
and calculated purpose of enabling
her own industries to seize their
markets before their industries could
recover from the devastation thus
wantonfy inflicted upon them.
Germany has despoiled her neigh
bors of everything she could make
use of or carry away. Germany has
destroyed the shipping of all nations
on the high seas, where there was no
chance of rescue for their passen-
gers and crews.
'lt is only justice that restitution
should be made and that these wrong
ed peoples should be safeguarded
for time from the competition OF a
nation whose industries are intact
and have been fortified by machin-
-~o,,niad territories.

WOODSTOCK GOLF COURSE

Woodstoek-La October Clarence W. Bowen purchased that part of the Mathewson estate that comprises the Woodstock golf course and that had been leased by the Woodstock Golf club for nearly thirty years. 1t is one of the oldest golf courses in the Unit ed States, as well as one of the most picturesque. During Mir Ream's life, Robert Lincoln, who was often a wis itor at MT. Ream's home in Thomp- son, frequently played on the Wood stock course; and since then one of the most enthusiastic members of the club has been W. Lanier Washington, the head of the Washington family. With many other distinguished names associated with it, the course has quite a little history of it's own. In order that 1t may continue to be one of the chief attractions of Woodstock, Mir Bowen has recently presented the course to the trustees of Roseland Park, and they accepted it with cor dial thanks as a very valuable glft from a very generous giver.
