u IS Prohibition IL; ;Ed efield.

fo Prohibit 81 Ed gefield
In3hissle ettersof June the 9thsto
The News and Courier, Mr.. S.
sMcG. Simkins, the Edgefeld cor
respondent, does our town and
county a manifest injustice by
heralding to the world the state
mept that prohibition is a failure
in Edgtfeld. II writing Of the
call, issued by the nine ministers
of the county, for the meeting
which was held in the court house
on Monday, he says: "Not cnly
the action in issuing the call, but
the call itself, is confession,
that the prohibition law since lts
adoption in Edgeield, has been 9
failure" osay that the call, for
the meeting in question, is an adj
mission that prohibition is q fail
ure in Edgefeld, has no founda-
tion in fact.
When buildings were being re-
pcatediy burned in our town three
wears ago. and the citizens became
aroused, appointed nightwatch-
men, employed detectives, appre-
!hended and convicted the guilty
patty, was that an admission 'nat
the law against incendiarjsm was
a failure? No, not at all. So it is
with prohibition. The law is b5ine
enforced, and simply because men.
who are concerned about the we'll
being of the present and coming
generations, organize for a more
thorough enforcement of law
should that be construed as al
admission that prohibition is a
failure? No, not at all.
Prohibition is not a failure in
Edge6eld, all statements to the
contrary Notwithstanding. Con
servatively estimated, it has re,
duced whiskev selling and drink
ing 80 per cent-some say 80 pei
cent. Is this not practical prohi'
bition? Are not other laws, laws
not as difficult of enforcement
violated to that extent, and be,
cause they are violated are they
considered failuresP Certainly not
Then, in the name of common
sense, why place the prohibition
law IN separate class aid call il
failure?
If a darkey buys drink -ct
liquor from a blind tiger, and
later in the night steals q CD hickel
from fowl house, which is not
infrequently done, are the laws
prohibiting stealing aud selling
liquor failures, and should the.
be repealed because they are
violated? If SO, the law against
stealing should be abolished as
we'll as the prohibition law.
We have practical prohibition
in Edgefeld. Absolute prohibition
is not claimed. Were all laws en-
forced absolutely, never violated
the jails and court houses and
lawyers would be put out of busi-
ness in short order. However, as
public sentimentis is cultivated and
created, absolute prohibition will
be more and more nearly ap-
preached. III

Gently endorsed him in the high

a Democratic victory possible.

Returned missionaries. as well

One very strong point that be

that this country admits people

Ever and anon something
transpires to strengthen the cause

upon the adoption of more stria-

has come the decision of Judge

court, to the effect thtt liquor

to this decision they are violating
