PROHIBITION LAW
UPHELD BY COURTS
Death knell of Vets Is
Sounded
COURT
RENDERS DECISION

Amendment and Enforcement Act Up
held in Unanimous Decision of Uni
ted States Supreme Court. InvaIi-
dates Acts Of States Allowing Light
Beverages.
Washington, June 7.-The prohibi-
tion amendment and the enforcement
act were held constitutional by the
supreme court today in unanimous
decision.
While attorneys for the interests
attacking the two measures, were
granted permission to file motions for
re-hearings, the decision was regard
cd generally as striking a death blow
to the hopes Of the vets.
The courts opinion, rendered by
Justice Van Dcvanter was sweeping.
1t held that the amendment not only.
came within the amending power con
fcrrcd by the federal constitution, but
was lawfully proposed and now was
the law OF the land. While rccogniz-
ing that congress has mlitations in
respect to the enforcement Of laws
regarding beverages, the court held
those limits were not transcended in
the enactment Of the enforcement act
restricting alcoholic content Of intoXi-
cants to one-half Of one per cent. i
While New York, New Jersey and
Wisconsin acts permitting mannfac-
ture and sale Of beverages Of more
than onc-half Of one per cent alco-
holic content were not directly in
volved, the decision was interpreted
as invalidating them. The court said
the last section OF the amendments Of
its own force ''invalidatcs any leg
islative act-whethcr by congress- by
a state legislature or by a territorial
assembly which authorized or sane
tions what tho section prohibits"
Concurrent power granted by the
amendment to federal and state gov
crnmcnts to enforce prohibition, the
court further held docs not enable
congress or the several states to de-
feat or thwart prohibition but only to
enforce it by appropriate means"
The decision Of the court was set
forth in eleven conclusions covering
seven separate proceedings. These
proceedings included original suits
brought by the state Of Rhode Island
directly attacking the constitutional
ity of the amendment.

j. ii. SPROUSE A SUICIDE.
Former Laurens Man Cuts His Throat
While Temporarily Demented.

News was received in the city Sat
urday OF the death in Texarkana, Ark,
Of j. Henry SprouSc, a native Of Green
Vile county near Fountain Inn and a
one-timc resident of this city. His
death followed a self-intlicted wound
Tuesday night Of the same week while
he was alone in a Texarkana hotel
where he had stopped for the night.
While temporarily bereft of his mental
faculties he slashed his throat with a
razor and created sensation as he
staggered down inc hotel steps into
the lobby. tIlntirely recovering his
mind following the shock of the
wound, he expressed deep regret at
the deed and placed himself entirely
in the care Of his attendants. He was
looked after by members Of the Ma
sonic fraternity, Of which he was a
member, and every attention given
him by physicians and nurses. Rev.
MI brewer, Grand Chaplain of the
order in Arkansas, accompanied the
remains to Fountain Inn and assisted
in the funeral services held at Fair
view church yesterday afternoon. The
body was inferred with Masonic hon
OrS
The deceased was about forty years
Of age and unmarried. at one time
ne lived here, but for the last several
years has been living in Texas. His
father died when he was but youth
and he was raised by an uncle, j. L.
Sprousc, of Fountain Inn. He is sur
vived by his stcpmother, Mrs. w. j..

Coleman and Mrs. "A. III. Stewart, and

on the I4aurcns side? In other words,
ought the two commissions break the
course Of travel and traffic between
the counties, because of a mere diff
ference Of opinion as to which is the
most fcasablc place to cross the rivcro
We believe that if your commits
sion vii call Il joint meeting OF the
two commissions that some plan Of
adjustment of this important phase
Of the question between them will be
reached. We respectfully auggcsl
for your consideration the advisable
ity Of such meeting before any cXpcn-
ditures have been made. and We fur
thcr suggest to the two county high
way commissions the advisabilty Of
having the state highway commission,
or certain Of its members, act as a
board of arbitration between them, in
the event they cannot agree.
1t is OF the utmost importance to
both counties that they be connected
in trade and trallic-for isolation is
the strongest enemy Of progress. The
people want good roads for the bonc-
fits which accrue thcrcfrom, and do
not want them to stop at county
lines. The very purpose Of creating
the state highway commission and
the only excuse for its existence lis
the creation and maintenance of
through rOads--as against local and
broken lines OF roads.
We sincerely hope your commission
will take hold Of this matter and
bring about an adjustment satisfac-
tory to both counties. We feel that
the commissions Of both counties
will be free to make some sacrifice Of
purely local convcnenccs to serve the
general good
We are sending copy Of this let
ter to both county commissions--in
the hope Of opening UP the matter
for further consideration.

Fined In Mayors Court.

c. Eugene Roland, former street
superintendent OF the city, was fined
500 by Mayor Richey Saturday, for
fourishihg pistol and creating a dis
turbance in the city Friday. Roland
headed small party which attempted
to take a white man by the name OF
Wells from Chief of Police Crews, af-
ter Wells had been arrested for an
alleged insult to a relatives Of the
former. Omcers Sullivan and Bobo
came to the assistance OF the chief,
who had seized Roland and the whole
party was carried to the station house.
Eugene Roland alone was placed un-
der arrest, however. Wells has been
turned over to the county for prosecu-

able excitement for awhile, but this
blew over when it appeared that the

PERSHING
WILL RETIRE SOON

-AIlOuHCcS lHIcnlOn 10 Hetlre from
Active Service in Letter to Baker.
Did not Announce His Plans for the
Future.
Washington, June General John
j. Pershing will retire from active
service within a few months. He an
nounccd his intention today in let
te rto Secretary Baker.
The commander Of the American Ex-
peditonary Forces declared that he
felt he could give up his military du-
ties without impairment Of the service
and thus be free to engage in some
thing more active" The general did
not indicate the nature Of his future
activities.
General Pershing assured Secretary
Baker that he would remain in the
service until work involved in the car
rying out of the army reorganization
act was completed. He gave the added
assurance that in any future crisis he
would be at the call Of the nation.
The generals letter to Secretary
Baker was made public by Colonel ].
q. Quekemeyer, his aide. 1t follows:
Dear Mr.. Secretary:
Referring to our conversation OF a
few days ago, wish to say that it has
long been my desire to return to civil
life. Throughout my military career,
| have been very much occupied, and
the assignments that have fallen to nv
lot during recent years have been
more or less important.
1T now appears that my duties are
not likely to be OF character that
Will require more than portion Of
my time. Under the circumstances I
feel that after the completion Of the
work contemplated by the army reor-
ganizatlon act, could reiinquisn mill
tary duty without impairment to the
service and thus be free to engage in
something MOI active
Therefore, Il IS situation should
develop to justify my remaining, I
contemplate taking the step indicated
within the next few months.
Should the necessity arise in a time
of crisis or otherwise, I assure you,
Mr.. Secretary that shall stand ready
to serve my country in the future as 1
have in the past.
With great respect and high cs-
TEEN, I remain very sincerely,
John J. Pershing."
Decision Of General Pershing to re-
tire came as surprise in army as
well as in military official circles
in Washington. The prospective fu-
turc detail Of the a. e. f.. commander
had never been announced, but sew
eral times he had been mentioned in
connection with Office Of chief Of staff.
The name OF General Pershing as
candidate for the Republican prcsi-
dental nomination had been put for
ward in the Nebraska and Michigan
preferential primaries but delegates
from those states pledged 20 other
candidates were elected. Political OBJ
servers at Chicago within the past
few days, however, have mentioned
General Porshing among the dark
horses.
The cxpcditionary commander will
retire with the rank Of full general,
that title for life having been con-
fcrrcd on him by congress after his
return from France. General Per
shng will be GO years old next Sep
tnmber and would not reach the re-
tircmcnt age until 1924.
