Prohibition law Enforced.
. The a ASsoci1fei pg.eSa

BU The Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Prohibi-
ton was the law of the nation today.
The constitutional amendment maxi
ing it Illegal to manufacture, sell or
give away liquors for beverages con-
tanning more than one-haR of one
per cent alcohol went into effact at
midnight, and ta1ess aia- tors faced
prosecution under one of the mo-
drastic laws ever promulgated to
q crime other than a felony.
In Washington. long ago made
dry by a special act OF congress
and "drier" by wartime prohibition
the coming into effect OF the new law
meant little. and the occasion passed
without unusual incident. except for
celebration meetings held under the
lauspices OF reform organizations.
At the largest of these, participated
in by reformers who gathered here
from all over the country Secretary
of the Navy Daniels and Attorney
General Palmer were the principal
speakers. While those responsible for
prohibition met in jollification at it's
coming and congratulated one another
on q task well done. those charged
with the enforcement of the law We're
at work on the business side OF the
proposition, that OF perfecting details
of their gigantic undertaking.
Both the department Of justice and
the bureau of internal revenue, the
two government agencies on which
devolved responsibility OF seeing that
the law is obeyed last night received
ther final instructions when Secretary
! Glass approved the regulations under
! which they are TO work.
! officials were anticipating innum-
erable tangles to be unraveled, but
because of the linking up with state
and local authorities of the enforce-
ment machinery they felt matters had
been greatly simplified. One of the
greatest problems confronting them
is that of disposal of the large guam
titles of distilled liquors remaining In
bonded warehouses. The final fate
of this has not been determined.

FIRST ARREST MADE FOUR
MINUTES AFTER j. S. DRY
LAW BECOMES EFFECTIVE
Brooklyn Cafe Owner Arrested
for Selling Glass Of Brandy at
21.O5--Great Wet Spell Hits
New York.
su The Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Four min-
utes after the 18th Amendment be-
came effective in New York this morn
ing,-12:05 O'Clock to be exact-a
Brooklyn cafe owner was arrested by
an internal revenue inspector for SELL
ing a glass of brandy. A bartender In
the same establishment was arrested
u minute later.
This news travelled in underground
channels faster than prairie fire fan
ned by a cyclone, and in q short time
the merry making over the demise OF
John Barleycorn, came to q more or
less abrupt end in the great city's
cafes. restaurants and hotels. The
presence of 100 revenue inspectors in
the White Light district and tho
knowledge that the city's $4,000 po-
licemen were watching for violators
caused the saloon-keepers and others
to close their doors somewhat uncere-
moniously.
The final celebration of the passing
of the wet era did not come up to pre-
dictions here. In some OF the better
known establishments the revelry re-
sembled the traditional New Years
celebrations but for the most part In
terested one declared the last fling"
was rather sad affair.
Some churches had watch night"
services. Revenue officials reiterated
today that the new laws would be en-
forced to the letter

I. II. MADSEN, president,

The Chamber of Commerce realizes
very keenly the need of q large repre-
sentation at this hearing, for II the

making big showing at hearings and
before Congress the West obtains al
most anything desired, but the East
has not thoroughly awakened to this
fact as yet and until they do 1t was
claimed at the Chamber of Commerce
today, little could be accomplished.
For this reason it is urged by the Sec
retary and president of the organiza-
ton that all who can, attend the hear
ing.
In addition to the representatives
from the Chamber of Commerce, the
Intra-Coastal Canal Association of this
city will also be represented. The At
lantic Deeper Waterways Association
which Is backing the canal will be rep
resented at the hearing it was said to-
day at the Chamber of Commerce.
In order to have the War depart

gressman Scully, is endeavoring to
have Secretary of War Newton D.
Baker come to this city and attend the
annual dinner of the organization and
discuss the question here.

ALEXANDER c. KING, JUDGE

President Wilson has appointed
Alex. C. King, of Atlanta, Judge of
the fifth circuit. He succeeds Judge
Don A. Pardee who died some weeks
ago. The appointment is a most hap
py one. Mr.. King ranks with the best
lawyers in the United States. He is
a native of Charleston, was educated
in Savannah, and for thirty-five
years has been lawyer m Atlanta,
the senior member of the firm of
King & Spalding. He has been en-
gagged in most of the important liti-
CATION in his adopted city the last
quarter of a century. His large prac-
tice has brought him frequently be-
fore the courts of South Carolina.
Two years ago he was appointed
Solicitor General of the United
States, which position he mas filled
with great credit to himself and the
country. :.
Mr.. King is not a politician. He
rs never sought POLITICAL Office. The
honors which have come 20 him in
the great profession of the law have
been won by merit alone. If the
legislature of South Carolina and
the appointing power generally
would exercise the good judgment
in the selection of judges which has
been exercised in this case by the
Department of Justice in Washing
ton and by the president, the courts
would not so often be the target for
adverse criticism. Mr. King is the
kind of lawyer the lawyers and the
people generally should desire to
see on the bench.

A BLUE DENIM WEDDING.

We have recently read the follow
ing account of the latest styles for
wedding ceremonies and pass it along
for due consideration by prospective
June brides of our locality.
"Miss Matilda Stewpid became the
bride of Oscar Silly today, the fea-
ture of the wedding being the ap-
pearance of bride and bridegroom in
overalls. The ceremony was perform
ed in Rosenberg's hardware store.
The bride carried large spray OF
brick-laying tools, with hod to
match, and many present commented
upon her resemblance to old Mike
Stewpid, her great-grandfather, who
was a first class hod-carrier and who
laid the foundations of the family
fortune. The groom carried pick
and the workingman's conventional
lunch box.
"The brides gift to the brides
maids consisted of a set of carpentry
tools. The groom's gift to his best
man was the Seaboard's book of rules
for brakemen.
GAS soon as the reporters and
camera men left the happy couple
ok off their blue denim, donned
their regular million dollar clothes,
and left for a honeymoon expressly
mapped out with the idea of getting
as far away as possible from people
who pear cheap raiment."

THE DUE WEST WAY

Two weeks ago there was an epi-
demic of influenza in Due West in
consequence of which the class
rooms of Erskine College were
closed for week. The boys who
lived near enough went home, but
there are always boys from Missis-
sippi, Arkansas, Tennessee and Ala
bama, who cannot 60 home and re-
turn in so short an interval. During
this enforced vacation these boys de-
cided to make fight on H. G. l.. or
get the benefits to be drived from it..
First, they erected garage for
Mr. Brownlee,. a building which he
had been wanting built for con-
siderable time The carpenters up
that way. are like they are in Able
Vile too busy as well as orna-
mental to do much work. But some of
the college boys proved to know how
to build, and in a week the build
ing was practically completed. Some
of the boys made as much as SAT at
the work, enough in the old days to
pay one-third of the years ex-
penses in procuring an education.
This gave the boys an idea, so they
have been ready for work whenever
the opportunity presented itself.
Last week a load of terra Gotta pipe
arrived in the college town. The
negro laborers struck for higher
wages when unloading time came,
whereupon the college boys took the
job, and unloaded the pipe in just
two hours. The pipe then had to be
laid in the bitches dug. for the new
sewer line and the bitches filled, an
no laborers could be found for thi:
job until the boys came to the rescue
again, where, under the leadership Of
Prof. Paul Grier, they learned some
thing of engineering in a practica
way as we'll as earning wages.
