[Column 2] [heading] THE NO-TREATING RULE GOES INTO EFFECT IN LONDON
RATHER CRYPTIC ANNOUNCEMENT APPEARS IN PAPERS OF LONDON
AT LEAST IT SEEMED SO PERHAPS TO BOOZERS
Designed Mainly in Check the [illegible] of Providing Free Drinks to the Soldiers From the Front - Nev.. [ertheless?] the Order to Applicable to Everybody - Police May Close All Night Clubs in the City of London.
London, Sept, 24. "At a meeting [of] the privy council at Buckingham Palace today the king signed an order applying the regulations respecting the sale of liquor in the districts [of] the Metropolitan area."
This rather cryptic announcement appearing in black-faced type in to [illegible] papers, meant [illegible] the long or [illegible] "non-treating" order is now in [illegible - expected?] action throughout the greater city and that a great change must be made in the social habits of the people.
Though designed mainly to [check?] he custom of providing free liquor o soldiers from the front - especially those who are about to depart again, or the [illegible] - the order neverthe [illegible] in [is?] applicable to everybody, and [illegible] violation will bring upon the offender heavy fine or imprisonmnet, or [illegible]. Hereafter, except in the privacy of the home, the Londer may not [illegible] a bottle or h[alf?] bottle with a [illegible] There is but one exception and that is at meal times. Then a host may provide liquor. But in al [illegible], hotels and clubs the words, "What will you have?" are taboo."
Even the exclusive army clubs are [illegible], and members are asking many questions. For example:
Can members water [wager?] whiskey and [illegible] on a card game?
Can drinks be ordered to seal a [illegible], or for a toast?
Is an officer leaving for the front [illegible] denied a parting drink with his [fellows]?
Can a glass accidently upset be [r]efilled?
Saloonkeepers are very [illegible - doleful?] over the situation. They say that, with treating barred, the whole atmosphere of the saloon will be [illegible]. Few men. It is argued, like to drink alone and a tremendous slump in trade is predicted.
What constitutes a meal with which one man may buy drink for his friend will doubtless have to be defined by the courts. Whether a meal will consist of the antiquated sandwich so familiar in the United States remains to be seen. There is of course the patent subterfuge by which one man may give the person he wishes to treat the amount required before they enter the saloon; but this would be cumbersome, commercial and hardly popular.
Police regulations, it is said on good authority, are about to be issueds clo[s]- ing all night clubs in London, during the entire period of the war. If this reform takes place, it will come as a result of a protest by military authorities that the "night club evil" has turned what ought to be a period of rest and recuperation for officers on [illegible] from the front, into a prolonged [illegible] which leaves the men in a worse condition than when they came [illegible] from the trenches. It is commonly known that in most of the night clubs evasion of the 10 o'clock law has been developed to a fine art and that drinks can be easily obtained. [illegible] of the day and night.
"I am in favor of closing down all [night] clubs for the duration of the war," said Lord At[illegible], provost marshal. "Naturally enough in our supervision, we rarely detect anything. We must [illegible] them to uniform and it is almost impossible to effect a real surprise. As for the [illegible] night clubs they have about an [army?] of scouts. They watch and report on movements and a club almost invariably knows in advance when we [illegible] [?] expected.
"They all look as [illegible] as [illegible] [illegible] when we [illegible]. We have n[o?] doubt in our minds that liquor is obtainable at many night clubs and that [illegible] another matter from [illegible] ing into a [illegible] and [illegible] to [illegible]. While we [illegible] [illegible] supervision of these places, [illegible] have no powers to do anything ex cept through the courts.

CAN YOU UNDERSTAND IT?
No one can deny the right of another to lend his money where and to whom he desires.

[heading] UNFORTUNATE CHARLESTON.
The sympathy of the whole state is with Charleston today, for she made for herself yesterday an unenviable reputation. If there were doubt as to the advisability of Governor Manning's action in having had the militia in readiness of the day of election, this doubt must now disappear. On the other hand upon the dismissal of the militia, the responsibility was thrown on the city authorities, who had been strenuous in their opposition to Governor Manning's action. It was claimed that the police were amply able to protect from violence. But these men were warned in advance by the chairman of the executive commities, and called upon for assistance which apparently was insufficient.
The responsibility for the unfortunate occurance can not now be determined, even if it can ever be. Doubtless the shooting began, as so often is the case, as the result of the action of some irresponsible person who himself escaped injury. In this case, as in many others, the innocent bystander suffered.
We extend to the Chaleston Evening Post and to the family of Mr. Cohen our sympathy, He was from all accounts a bright and promising young man. There was evidently no intent to injure him. He was the reporter for the Post which had not been extreme in its positions. On the other hand, it is an interesting fact that the Post had been rather critical of Govenor Manning's action, and had expressed doubt as to the wisdom of his course. It doubtless now sees how dangerous conditions would have been on the day of election, had not the swing effects of the militia been there.
But after all the trouble lies deeper than in the bitterness of elections. It lies in the spirit of opposition to expressed law which has pervaded Charleston for twenty-five years. A community can not set at naught any law, even that relating to liquor, without feeling later the evil effects. When errors in legislation are made, the appeal must be to the intelligence of the citizens of the State, not to the lawlessness of the community. It will take years to [?] the evil conditions which have reached [illegible] ing is right in his determination to do his part to remedy them. Lawlessness must cease, law and order must prevail.

REACHING FOR THE TOP.
A story is told of a [certain?] Jew who overheard a conversation between two men, who were on a [trade or train?]. One made an offer to the other which seemed[?] to the Jew most favorable.

Finally [he stepped up to him?] who had made the offer and [illegible] "I never interfere with a trade. I make it a rule not to do so.

It follows that if taxes can only be collected for "corporate purposes" they can only be [?] for such purpose. It would stretch the imagination to consider a dance hall a "corporate purpose."
While a public auditorium may not as clearly fall outside the provision limiting expenditures of tax funds to corporate purposes, it is clearly a debatable question and possibly some citizens opposed to such use of tax funds may [test?] the question in the courts.
Should an auditorium be erected, though owned by the city, it would be subject to state and county taxes, if any change were[?] made for its [?].

[Column four]
The new [year?] confirmed the good news that [peace was at?] hand. The leaders of the government in England had no doubt come to perceive very clearly how essentially impossible it was to conquer America, now that the alienation of feeling between the two countries is complete and final, and all thought of submission or accommodation out of the question.
Their generals had seldom been beaten in battle, as it was.

[Cornwallis?] had [moved?] freely, almost victoriously, into the trap at Yorktown.
The un[?] fact was, that British [illegible] [c]ould control only so much of the country as they actually occupied, and that it was out of the question to occupy all of it.
With Washington always at hand, always ready to strike, and always able to make the [strike well?], it was not safe even to attempt the maintenance of extended[?] [lines?]
At any rate, England had grown weary of the unnatural business: the [house of congress?] had declared against the war; the new ministers were [resolved?] tp end it, even at the cost of granting America her indepen-

[?], and it had become only a matter of terms.
In May, 1782, General Clinton was superseded at New York by General Sir Guy Carleton, who was instructed to assure the American-commanderin-chief of the government's determination to seek terms of peace, and who was of the noble spirit to like his errand.
On the [11th?] of July the British garrlson at Savannah was withdrawn and semt to New York.
In August Washington received from Carleton definite assurances that the independence of the United States was to be conceded as a preliminary of peace, and in September the French who had remained in Virginia joined the Americans on the Hudson.
In October they embarked at Boston for France.
By the close of November (November 30, 1782) a provisional treaty of peace had been agreed upon; and on the 1[?]th of December Charleston was also evacuated and the south free of British troops.
Carleton, when he [?] that peace was indeed assured, began to disband the loyalist regiments enlisted in the British service and to despatch many of his regulars to the West Indies, to Nova Scotia and to England.
No one doubted any longer that the end of the bitter business had come at last: every one waited impatiently for the treaties which were to constitute its formal conclusion.

[dropcap] A [/dropcap] FRIEND is a man who is willing to share his [life?], his money and his conversation with you.
There are many kinds of friends. Some friends exist for [expense?] only and some are protective to a high degree. A true friend is a better defender than a battleship and [?] [?] convenience has a national [bank?] [beaten?] all around the compass.
Friends are useful in a multitude of ways. They are a great[?] [?] in smoking cigars, in waiting for ducks and in digesting dinners. A great many men find it impossible to support a large heavy bar in an expensive saloon without the aid of several friends. Friends can be sworn at with comparative safety, and the man who loves to tell disagreeable truths in an offensively frank manner would not live long if he were compelled to practice upon strangers instead of friends.
Friends are blood relatives of procrastination. Both are great thieves of time. As a rule friends love most dearly to steal the bright and cheerful evening hours which should be spent in reading good books. It is a common thing for two or three friends to hold up a perfectly respectable business man and take four or five hours away from him, including the hour in which the last street car leaves the down-town district.
"Friends are responsible for most of the politicians of the country Almost every man who has run for office has done to at the insistence of his friends. This can be proven by the statements of thousands of candidates. However, most of these friends prove steadfastly voting for the other fellow.

Friends are pleasant if used in moderation, but disastrous if used to excess. Very few men can afford to have more than a dozen friends, unless they have nothing else to do. It is as much trouble to keep three friends as it is to keep one hired girl.

Representatives will be Selected by the Various Trades and Professions Themselves— Chamber [on] Firm Financial Basis for Next Three Years.
Probably the most important matter that came before the moments of the re-organized Chamber of Commerce last night was the [?] of the business council. The decision was finally reached that each trade or profession should have the privilege of chosing their own representatives for the council. Every branch of trade or profession will be represented by two members.
The meeting [or] informal [smoker?] was [presided] over by President Webb who made a short talk regarding the work of the Chamber. Among others making [?] were Secretary Will F. Henderson, Dr. Geo W. Quick, F. F. Martin[?], Jo[s?]. McCullough, Mr. Russell. D. [B?]. Trexter. [perhaps Trexler] Proctor Bonham and J. J. McSwain.
One of the features of the meeting was the large number of new members present who took active part in the discussions and who bid [?] to be active members and leaders upon the floor.
The discussion of the business council developed into a warm debate as to who would appoint the representatives. D. B. Trexter was in favor of the selection of these representatives from the [serious?] trades and professions by a vote of the entire Chamber of Commerce. J. J. McSwain advocated the chosing of [?] members by the trades and professions themselves. After some discussion Mr. McSwain's plan was adopted.
The total count shows that [?] 120 new members have been added to the list and that the income of the chamber has been increased to about $10,[9]00. This amount, it is believed, will be sufficient to cover the expenditure of the chamber and will guarantee that this important organization will continue to be as useful In the future is in the past.
