OF the ablest lawyers Of the Spartan

distinguished mayor might consider
Reputable.
You admit that the bucket shop is
morally wrong. Then why did you
license it? And why don't you Close
it up: That is the plain question, and
you cant dodge it by trying to rldl-
cule our law-really, not our law, but
the law OF South Carolina-by saying
that il is 'droll" and funny. Meet
the issue squarely, and don't be I'M

repeat,that we wouldn't have you wor-
1ied about our welfare for anything
in the world. Answer our questions,
and then We shall be delighted-even
delighted as Nj. Roosevelt would say
it wouldn't express-to answer
yours. As to our scripture, we dldn t

fault of ours. 1Certanly the 'shoe1

As to the preaching about gambling
in the social club and on intercolle-

have held all along, that we condemn
both. That, in our humble opinion.
if our distinguished mayor Will par
don us for having an opinion, is what
brought about this controversy. we
want our distinguished mayor as
mayor of Newberry to condemn both.
You need not trouble yourself
about the record. 1t will keep itself
straight. We made no severe at
tack on YOU. We took it for granted
that your moral acumen was SO acute
that we hu1nbly asked you to explain
the difference between certain species
of gambling, and we asked it in all
humility. You replied and tried to
slur the editor of The Herald and

tempted another exposition OF our po-
sition, and you reply again. Where

at issue we really can not see, and
