PROHIBITION Law
IS CONSTITUTIONAL
VALSTEAD ENFORCEMENT ACT
WINS APPROVAL OF U. S.
SUPREME COURT

Washington, June Both the fed
eral prohibition amendment and the
enforcement act passed by Congress
were held constitutional today by the
supreme court.
The court dismissed petitions filed
by the State of Rhode Island to have
federal officers enjoined from enforc-
ing prohibition in that State.
The court also dismissed injunction
proceedings brought by the State OF
New Jersey to prevent enforcement OF
prohibition within the state.
Injunctions restraining prohibition
officials from interfering with the
Maniowoc Products Company, a Wis
consin corporation, in the manufacture
of beer containing more than 1-2 OF
/ per cent of alcohol were dissolved
by court.
The court upheld federal court de-
crees dismissing proceedings brought
to enioin the prohibition amendment
from being enforced against Christian
Feiganspan, a brewer of Newark, N. J..
Federal court DEGREES denying SIM
liar injunctions sought by the st.
Louis Brewing Association likewise
were affirmed.
The courts opinion VS. very short,
setting forth only the courts conclu-
sions. Chief Justice White rendered a
supplemental opinion, concurring in
the one rendered by Justice Van De
Vanter, but going more fully into the
issues involved.
Federal court DEGREES, dismissing in
junction proceedings instituted by
the Kentucky Distillers and Ware
house Company, of Louisville, KY, to
enjoin enforcement of the act against
it were sustained by the court. In
functions sought by George c. Demp-
sey, a Boston wholesale liquor dealer,
to restrain enforcement of the en-
forcement act against hin were also
denied by the court.

and think and act pnitedly, one defi-
mite workable program.
Such union of thought and action
is the South Carolina Development
board.
Advertisement of the existing possi-
bilities and attractions of South Caro-
lima is not the chief purpose of this
board. Rather does it frankly recog-
nize certain present conditions which
are barriers to statewide development,
and it proposes means for rcmedying
those conditions as the first important
preliminary step.
Is Not an Experiment.
For more than a year, this organi-
zation has been doing definite, con-
structive work. Though composed of
a comparatively small group of for
ward looking men and provided with
very limited funds, it has accomplish
ed so many specific things and en-
listed such a wide circle of attention
and encouragement, that it is now be-
ing urged on every hand to become to
South Carolina what the development
boards of other states have been to
their people and interests.
The South Carolina Development
board is not an experiment.
Other states have used this form
or organization to their great advan-
tage. South Carolina has been using
it, in limited way, for more than a
year, and it's actual, concrete accom-
plishments in that period are the most
insistent urge that it expand in activi-
ties, in usefulness, in influence and in
of the people. of the
state. Responding to the general de-
mand that it widen its sphere of SER
vice, the development board has un-
dertaken a campaign of expansion in
membership and necessary income, to
be made from June q to rs.
Management of this campaign is in
the hands of a state campaign COM
mittee, which is representative OF
every section and interest. The per-
sonnel of the committee follows: Gov.
Robert A. Cooper, chairman; Richard
l. Manning, ice-chairman; Charles H.

Impressive Commencement Exercises
Held-Seven Finish Pre-
scribed Course.

Hemingway, June 8.-The Heming-
way centralized school system closed

Rapid advancement has been made
during the term just ended, viz, en-
rollment increased, standards raised,
many improvements made in school
building such at installing electric
lights, waterworks, etc.
The closing exercises were splendid
as well as impressive. The music class
gave a recital and the high school a
play entitled, "The Masonic Ring"
Then on Friday night the grammar
grades gave their exercises; these
were cantatas, drills, songs, etc. The
children. taking part in these showed
they had received the very best of
training and acted their parts per-
fectly:
Sunday morning DR.. ]. w. Daniel
preached the sermon using as his text:
"The Benedictions of Displacements." +"
In his discourse the speaker dealt
with the reactionary changes throug
which we are passing, and some Of
the requirements necessary for church
es and schools to adopt. Monday night
the oratorical contest was held; the
speeches and reading were far above
the ordinary. Gold medals were pre-
sented to Barney Harmon and Miss
Minnie Huggins. On Tuesday night
there were class day exercises; five
girls and two boys completed the
course of the 11th grade; two Of the
girls received state high school Dip
Tomas.
Prof. ]. B. Bushardt has been super
intendent of these schools for the past
two years; in this time he, along with
his able corp of teachers, has done
a splendid work. They have put forth
every effort towards the development
of the school and thereby have won
the esteem and praise of the entire
community.

COUPLE CELEBRATE
GOLDEN WEDDING
THE OLD HOME HICKORY FARM"
SCENE OF JOYOUS OCCASION
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2.

Written for The County Record)
On the End of June, 1870, Lieut..
VIM. Epps, C. S. A., and Miss Mary
Rebecca Watts were married at "The
Barrows," Berkley County, the home
of the brides sister, Mrs. w. S. Lynes,
the Rev. w. w. Jones, of the Metho-
dist Church, officiating.
The fiftieth anniversary Of this oc-
casion was appropriately celebrated
last Wednesday afternoon in the old
home, Hickory Farm" just East Of
Kingstree, where this venerable couple
have spent so many happy years to-
gether in their Industrious and Chris
tian career.
In this hospitable home which was
"built by the roadside" was enthroned
the ideal of useful service, the kindly
effort and the gentle lives Of this de-
voted pair, which strikingly illustrates
the value and the possibilities of prac-
tical Christianity. In this home the
itinerant preacher and the way-side
traveller found lodging, and the strang-
er was never turned away.
Mr.. VIM. Epps is now in his 18th
year. His father, for whom he was
named, and his mother, Elizabeth
Holmes Epps, came to South Caro-
lima from the old North State, near
Goldsboro, in the year 1858.
Mrs VIM! Epps will celebrate her
80th birthday on the 18th of this
month. Her parents were Mr.. John
DuRant Watts and Mrs. Sarah King
Watts, who, during their lives, lived
in Georgetown.
The Golden Wedding brought many
of the relatives together again, some
of whom had not seen each other for
quite number of years. Among
them were numbered nine who had
lived more than three score years and
ten. This, though, perhaps was just
an. incident, for there were others not
too feeble; but too far away to come
to the anniversary.
One noticed on the center table in
the living room, five Holy Bibles be-
longing to representatives of as many
generations of this notable family.
The occasion, thoroughly symbolic
of a final and unbroken union, was
evidenced by many tokens of love and
affection, and served to tighten the
ties that bind.
There was a former marriage to
Miss Annette Richardson Jones, May
%, 1868, to which union was born one
son, Charles Jones Epps, now a
leading druggist at Conway.
To the second marriage were born
six children, four of whom are still
iiving-John Wesley Epps, Phi. G.,
Macon, Ca, Edwin Christopher Epps,
Cashier in the Bank of Williamsburg,
Kingstree; Gilbert Watts Epps, Sec
retary and Treasurer, Asheville and
East Tennessee Railroad, Asheville,
N. c.; and Miss Annette L. Epps,
Kingstree.
The third son, DR.. Arthur Deems
Epps, died March 3, 1906, and Mrs.
Frances Kooger Shealy, second daugh-
ter, died July 10, 1919.

MAN STAYS WIFE
AND Then SELF
CHILDREN WITNESSES To
TRAGEDY AT HOME in
GREELYVILLE

Exclaiming "God forgive me-" Rob-
bert Hogan, aged forty-three, about
3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon shot and
killed his wife and then took his own
life by firing bullet into his head.
Hogan was marri4 to Mrs. Robert
Lesesne about one year ago. Before
her marriage to Mr.. Lesesne she was
Miss Sallie Pitts, daughter Of the late
Robert Pitts, prominent plantation
owner at Gourdin.
The tragedy, Tuesday, it is said,
\took place in the presence Of four
of Mrs. Hogan's children, who are
said to be the only witnesses of the
affair.
Just as Mrs. Hogan was coming
down the steps preparatory to coming
to Kingstree, her husband, it is re-
ported, shot her six times before turn
ing the gun on himself.
Mrs. Hogan is survived by five chill
dren by he first rhusband; Edward,
Harry ad Robert Pitts, brothers, Of
Sumter, and Mrs. S. w. McClary, of
Lanes, q sister, also survives her.
Miss Sallie Pitts, born on her faith
er's plantation at Gourdin, about 40
years ago, grew up to be a most
charming and beloved lady after the
death of her parents, under the guar
dianship of her friend and benefactor,
DR.. Robert Henry, of Gourdin. After
obtaining an education she made her
home for a while in Sumter. During
her young womanhood Hogan visited
her and paid her marked attention,
but she, it is said, was dissuaded
from marrying him, and later became
the beloved wife of Mr.. Robert Lesesne
the father of her surviving children.
Hogan left the community. Years in
tervened and Mr.. Lesesne's health
! gave way. He was taken to Balti-
more hospital for treatment and died
there two or three years ago. Hogan
returned to the old home community
to find his former sweetheart a widow.
He again woed and finally won her.
They were married. 1t is said that
their companionship was not entirely
compatible. Tuesday afternoon, in a
moment of madness or mental de-
rangement, Hogan murdered his wife
and then took his own life.
The remains of Mrs. Hogan were
laid to rest in the Mt. Hope Cemetery
yesterday afternoon in the presence
of a large gathering. The body of Mr..
Hogan was taken to Blitbewood for
interment.

|SoUTH S TURNING
AGAINST CALOMEL
MIR. Dodson, the "Liver Tone
Man, Responsible for Change
for the Better.

Every druggist in town has noticed a
great falling off in the sale of calomel.
They all give the same reason. Dodson's
Liver Tone is taking it's place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people know
it." Dodson's Liver Tone is personally
guaranteed by every druggist who sells
it. A large bottle doesn't cost very much
but if it fails to give easy relief in every
case of liver sluggishness aud constipa,
tion, just ask for your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy, harm
less to both children and adults. Take
spoonful st night and wake up feeling
fine; no biliousness, sick headache, acid
stomach or constipated bowels. It
doesn't grippe or cause inconvenience all
the next day like violent calomel. Take
dose of calomel today and tomorrow
you will feel weak, sick and nauseated.
Don't lose day.
