Senator Louis Appelt, editor of the
Manning Times, do not think that the
Legislature would be acting wise in
passing a State prohibition law at the
coming meeting of that august assem-
bly,. He thinks, on the oJher hand,
that it should be left to the voters. of
the State next summer to say whether
or not they want such a law. To this
we disagree; the people of South Car
olina have already, decided that ques-
ton. IF the majority of the voters
wanted prohibition some fifteen years
ako, where is the man that would
deny that still greater majority are
in favor of it now? The prohibition
wave has struck the whole country,
and right here, in South Carolina, the
people want such a law passed, and
we firmly believe that there will be
enough members in the legislature at
the coming session to give the people
what they have asked for and what
they have been wanting for 10, these
many years. Use your best efforts to
give US an ironclad straightout prohi-
bition law, Mr.. Applet, and genera
Gons yet unborn viii rise up and call
you blessed.

This is the time Of year when every
body should meet their obligations as
far as possible. We have made our
usual fall trip over the county with
the result that we have made the
poorest collections that we have ever
made in the history Of our business.
Newspaper men have their obliga-
tions TO meet as well as other people,
and we hope that subscribers and adj
vertisers viii realize this fact-not
only in word, but in deed. We want
the ssCASHo and we don't deny it.
We need it in our business and unless
those subscribers and advertisers who
have not paid during the year, do so
at an early date, their names will be
cancelled from our books. This we
dislike to do; it will not afford US any
pleasure we assure you, so don't wait
for your paper to stop, but send the
money now. We want it understood
that we want nothing but prompt
paying subscribers.

THEIR SINS HAUNT THEM

| ~ ONE. OF the gentlemen Of Wall
~ street who control the destinies Of
~ the nation when they are not suf-
fering from Inflammation Of the calam-
itary nerve appear to be in most dis
tressful state of mind. The challenging
bull and the gyowling bear have be-
come, if the eye and the ear do not
deceive, as meek as lambs. In feverish
haste they eagerly seize upon every
quarter-hourly edition of the metro
politan press and glue their eyes upon
every news column, the headlines in
which contain such nerve-racking
words as Investigation" disclosure"
and indictments" The sight of a
zebra throws them into a panic--the
design of his coat is so suggestive.
The honest man, though a profess
sional gambler, is not apt to run to
cover every time silver star on blue
background heaves in sight. The in
ference, naturally. is that the panic
stricken gentlemen of Wall street are
afraid their sins will discover them.
