according to reliable report, that it would
be absolutely impossible to consider him
leader for the Prohibition movement. Others,
with less reason, have turned their eyes
toward Governor SMITH of Georgia, whose
signing of the Prohibition bill was much
applauded, but when it is known that Gov
ernor SMITH fought the Prohibition bill with
all his energy and with all the influence of
the great paper which he owns, so long as
there was any hope of defeating it; that he
for years has been a proft-sharer in one of
the most pernicious barrooms Of the state Of
Georgia, and that today his daily paper is
making revenue from the liquor advertis-
ing, little more need to be said about him.
Perhaps the most hopeful man upon the
horizon is Governor GLENN of North Caro-
lima, man of high character and fearless
and outspoken enemy of the liquor traffic,
but Governor GLENN, according to the relia-
BILE statement published elsewhere in this
paper refuses to consider the proposition of
leaving the party of MURPHY and TAGGART
and ROGER SULLIVAN
We take it that there is no need of talk
ing about nominating any man at Columbus
who is not willing to leave the whole field
of gin mill politics and to align himself
squarely in the Prohibition position.
Now there may be, somewhere, some other
leader with all the requisite abilities and
qualifications, ready to join us, but this
thing is certain (and on this we cannot lay
too much emphasis) that no such man will
come to us unless he sees our party exhibit
such evidences of earnestness and courage
and aggressiveness that he believes that we
offer him the best possible field for fighting
the liquor traffic successfully.
This answers the question asked above in
the NEGATIVE and turns the emphasis upon
another thing Some leader from outside
the party is to be found or not to be found,
but, in either case, the "most important
thing now before u.s. is to put our party
into the front rank

Chicago, December 10, 1907
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
WHAT NOT

DO you not think that the most important
thing before us is to find some strong, prom-
nent temperance Democrat Republican who is
willing to become leader in the coming cam
pagn?'
In one form and in another this question
has already reached the offices of The Ma
tionaI Prohibitionist several times, and seems
to warrant thoughtful and candid answer.
We recognize that it would probably mean
much for the Prohibition reform and might
advance the Prohibition party to posi-
ton of power and influence that it has never
yet reached, if, between now and the sitting
of our convention at Columbus, some man,
such as is described in the paragraph above,
would do what JOHN p ST. JOHN did in
1SS4-march out of a corrupt, old, license
party, burn his bridges behind him, and
come into the Prohibition party for better
or for worse and take such a position of
leadership as his abilities and experience
might merit. We can think of some half
dozen men whose general character, prom
inence and association with the movement
against the liquor traffic are such that this
course would be possible for them. Some
of them in published and spoken words have
so nearly committed themselves to the logic
Of the Prohibition party position that it
seems, at first sight, that they could prop
erly be expected to do this.
But we search in vain for anyone who gives
us any reasonable ground to hope for such
action.
Perhaps four men have been spoken of
prominently enough, at one time and an
other, in Prohibition periodicals that it is
proper to mention their names here Some
of our people have talked about Governor
HANLEY of Indiana, but Governor HANLEY
has himself declared the idea to be absurd
and there is not sign in the political skies
of any break between him and his party
Some months ago some of our people grew
very enthusiastic over Governor Folk, but,
not only is he firmly bedded in Democratic
politics but his personal habits are such,

complete, with state headquarters in most
If the states Of the Union, but in by far too
many of the states the organization stops
there, and in nearly all of the states our
town and precinct organizations have practi-
,ally no existence, except on paper. An
army, without regimental or company organ
ization, consisting merely of masses of men,
owing more or less allegiance to a general
head, might just as well talk of winning vic
tories against well-organized enemy as we
of gaining the political successes that we
desire with the almost total lack of local
organization which now exists
The work Of organization cannot be done
by the national chairman, nor yet by the
state chairmen, although they each may help;
it can be done only by local men who are
willing to undertake the task and bear the
burden and do the work. Very largely these
men must assume the position Of leadership
and must ego ahead" and, knowing what
ought to be done, must do it themselves.
These months that lie Immediately before us
are the months in which this ought to be
DONE If a thousand of the men who read
this paper will organize their own counties
or their own townships during the next sixty
days, it will count tremendously, not only
in the ballot box next November, but in the
outlining and ordering of the campaign fight
that will precede the voting.
ILL., After all is said and done, that sor-
did thing which we call sSthe sinews Of war"
has to be remembered as the prop that up
holds the whole structure Of any reform
movement, no matter how religious or how
moral it may be. The Prohibition cause has
witnessed most generous giving, but (and we
say it thoughtfully and with disposition to
harshly criticise no one) the organization
has never had tenth part Of the funds at
its disposal that it should have had Max

invalids and a few who have suffered some

A Big Mortgage.

Clerk Of Court Burns has just finished
recording the longest mortgage ever
placed on record in Oconee county. The
document covers ISL typewritten pages.
1t contains about 10000 words, and the
fee for recording will be 500. The mort
gage Is given by the Three-State Lumber
Company, doing business in South Caro-
lima, Georgia and North Carolina) TO
Richard G. Wood, of Philadelphia, Pa.
The mortgage is for $50, 900, and is given
on 112 tracts of land and timber interests
in the above-named States, and payable
May 24th, 1917. The paper does not re-
quire near as much money as that given
by the Southern Railway Company few
years ago, and recorded here, yet the
Three-State Lumber Company contains
about 10000 more words than that given
by the Southern Railway.
The general Office and works of this
big lumber company are located at Madi-
son, this county. The plant was bought
from the Gennett Lumber Company, and
large amount of new machinery has
been instilled and many other improve
ments made.

The R. L. C. A. Meeting.

The Rural Letter Carriers Association
of Oconee County met in the Wagener
Theater, Walhalla, on last Saturda,
afternoon and evening.
Many good talks were made on sub
jects of interest to these servants of the
people, and various means were dis
cussed of how to improve the service.
These meetings are always very helpful
and in social way are great success.
The visiting carriers were entertained
at supper at the Brown Cafe by Messrs.
Garrison and Burley, of the Walhalla
rou*os, and altogether the meeting was
one of the most pleasant ever held in the
history of the association 81
1t was a matter of deep regret that
more of the carriers and substitutes from
Seneca could not be present.
j. G. Garrison, Of Walhalla, president
of the association, was elected delegate
to the meeting of the State association,
which will convene in Greenville on
July Sd and Atm. He has appointed N.
w. Macaulay, of Westminster, as his
alternate.
The next meeting of the association
will be held in Seneca sometime during
the month of September, when officers
will be elected for the next year.
We are always glad TO have these
clever men meet in Walhalla and would
be glad to have them come oftener.
