We appeal to every newspaper in
the state that hast he sense of honesty
and fairness to lose sight of the few
dollars that may come to it through
those who love liquor, to forego, the
imaginary pleasure of holding up the
hands of those who cry, personal lib
erty," when that personal liberty Is
violative of the rights of others, and
to join with us in the effort to remove
the accursed liquor traffic from the
state.
We appeal to the good women Of the
state, and when have the women OF
South Carolina ever failed in q good
cause? You cannot vote, it is true.
but you can give expression TO yonr
opposition to the liquor traffic BY
wearing the badge and by thousand
acts of your life, and it may be your
hand that shall drive the. <ttent nailVz
through the head of the monster that
is now actually eating your offspring.
We appeal to the Christian ministers.
of the state. Shall those who preach
the gospel enter the field and speak
against liquor sellings See the Master
with a scourge driving out the money
changers from the temple, oyerthrow:
ing the tables and pouring out their
money; and hear Him cry, "Woe INTO
scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; yeS
ssrpents, ye generation Of vipers. how
can you escape the damnation Of he'll?
and you will see that He did not seem
to have q sort of namby pamby citi-s
zenship, nor to have been afraid Of
offending against the proprieties of
life.
Remember that this liquor selling;
and liquor drinking is the one great
| battery of hell, manned chiefly BY the
devil himself, and is sheltng the
church of Christ, staying yonr broth

watchmen on the walls of Zion and
must cry out with warning to those
around you. Arise as soldiers OF the
cross and silence forever this destruc-
tive agency of the devil.
Light the fires of prohibition on
every hilltop in the state; let the ray1
90 sliding down every stream until the
healing beams shall penetrate eyery
nook and corner, every crack and ore
vice in the homes and hearts Of org
people. "Then shall the earth yield
to her increase; and God, even onx
own God, shall bless us. :
