Saws the Columbia State:

SAYS the Columbia State:
."The Charleston Post is frank
enough to admit that Charleston has
only recently begun to seriously con-
slider the problem Of the illegal sale
Of liquor. We hope the problem will
be solved 1t can be solved in but
one way-the law must be obeyed.
The semi-legal evasion Will breed
trouble for the whole community
That is quite true.
We have never been otherwise than
frank in our discussions of this ques-
ton. Charleston was very fragrant
violator Of the dispensary law while
the State was in the liquor business,
and the violation was condoned, If
not actually approved, by some Of the
very best people in this community.
a sentiment was created here in op-
position to the dispensary, due to the
political origin and maintenance Of
that institution, which was used to its
full advantage by the illegal sellers
Of liquor. The efforts Of the State au-
thorities to prevent this traffic SEEM
ed only to inflo me the sentiment
against the law and effectively to en-
courage the violation of it. That was
not unnatural, because the enforce
ment Of the law was undertaken in
spirit of animosity against Charleston
which deprived it Of any respect. But
those times have passed and there is
no longer any disposition to harry
Charleston with an unwelcome law
The law remained, and it had to be
enforced, but the enforcement Of it
was not intended only to disturb the
peace of mind Of this community.
There developed gradually feeling
OF sympathy for Charleston's Difficult
ties under the law, and this has
grown almost to the point OF recog-
IllZlHS Iilc NlSOClI t1HN JuSllSC VI iAA
stituting a system Of liquor control in
this city which would permit indi-
viduals to engage in the business, un-
der due restriction. The destruction
of the State dispensary was accom-
lished and the county dispensary op-
ton substituted, Charleston partici-
pating in the movement toward this
end and contributing largely to the
effort. That was long step forward.
IF Charleston makes the most of the
advance, demonstrating her accept
ance in good faith of the situation and
exhibiting some degree Of patience,
her friends up the State-and they
are growing more numerous every
day-will hearken to Charlestons ar
gument for system Of liquor control
which suits the needs Of the people
here and may be worked effectively

THE STORY OF JOE LEvAN.
The Houston Post Regrets the Pass
ing Of Negroes OF His Stamp.

ing Of Negroes OF His Stamp.
From the Houston Post.
We are obliged to our esteemed
contemporary. the Charleston News
and Courier, for the simple story OF
Joe Levan. a. negro barber of Sumter.
South Carolina.
It is the rule of the Post never to
permit an episode like this to pass
without calling attention to it and We
hope every reader will look elsewhere
in today's Post and carefully peruse
the story. It is especially desirable
that the negroes of the younger gene
ration read and ponder it. The les
son is too good to be lost.
Joe Levan died in Sumter the other
day at the advanced age of IS years.
From emancipation to the day Of his
death he conducted an humble bar
Der shop in Sumter and was patron
lied by the best people Of the town.
No rival could ALLEVIATE his customers
from him. When he died the white
people attended his funeral by TIE
hundreds and after the mound Of
clay had been raised above his dust
the same white people, without soli-
citation, raised money and erected a
monument to his memory. setting
forth this eloquent tribute: He was
faithful as slave and respected as
his white friends as a tribute to his
WORTH
1t was said of him: He never per-
formed any single spectacular SER
vice, but was simply faithful, courte-
Gus, honest and industrious through
out his life He asked no favors from
anv man and was content to earn an
honest living at his trade. In manner,
ne was polite and respectful, without
a trace Of severity; reserved and dig
nifed in department and his WORD
was better than many a white mans
bond"
1t is a great deal to so live as to
exact that kind Of tribute from ones
neighbors, and the man Of whom
such words may be truthfully spoken,
be he white or black, has not lived in
vain. They show, however, that the
way of life for the American negro
lies in fidelity, courtesy honesty and
industry. No negro will ever lack
for friends who lives as Joe Levan
lived. It is regretable fact that few
negroes of the younger generation
ever regard the examples of these
splendid negro characters to which
the white people are always eager to
render homage and respect.

day. We have built up too strong a
prejudice against the dispensary sys-
tenn in Charleston to destroy it with a
word, But rapid progress has been
made and sentiment is surely and
strongly making up to support the
county institution. There has been.
too, so much evasion and circumlocu-
ton Of the law that the compromise
method Of dealing with the violators
still has its advocates. But the i'm
possibility Of it is appearing to one aft
er another, and the necessity for
straight and uncompromising en-
forcement of the law is asserting it
self powerfully The dispensary law
is not yet enforced in Charleston as
It should be, bat there is making up a
sentiment such as has never appeared
before in favor of its enforcemnt- as
it is written in the books. We may
rot be getting any better in Charles
.on. but we are recovering our sanity
and we are beginning to realize that
