Sale Should be Restricted.

The cocaine evil is becoming
alarmingly prevalent, especially
in southern towns and cities.
Strange to say, tha people oflthe
south, especially the colored popu-
.lation, seem to be easy victims Of
this treacherous drug. The very
marked increase of insanity
among colored people is attribu-
ted to the habitual use of cocaine.
We do rot know what the South
Carolina Legislature has done or
will do to restrict its sale, but
deem it a matter of sufficient mo-
ment to demand national legisla-
tion. Checking the cocaine evil
in it's incipieney will be less diff
cult than after it gets firm hold
upon the people CT all classes and
of all sections. In some of the
large cities cocaine is peddl d on
the streets.
In this connection, let US say in
passing, that we were pleased to
hear an Edge6eld druggist say re-
Gently that he refuses to sell. this
powerful drug to tbe general pub
lie. BE only sells it on ephysi- g
Clans prescription or to responsi-
bic persons who will use it prop
.erlY. 1t is doing the colored race
a great favor to withhold cocaine
from them.

Oppose whiskey in Every Form

Oppose Whiskey in Every Form.
While in conversation with the
writer a few days ago. gentle
man remarked that The Advert
ser was not fighting liquor but
was only opposing the dispensarY.
Our reply-one that has appeared
In these. columns many times
was that this newspaper opposes
the aale of whiskey in every form,
whether by the individual, county
or state. As further proof tbat we
are fighting whiskey, we cited the
fact that we atoutly refuse TO ad-
ver1ise it, believing that by 50
dong we would be a means of in
creasing the sale and consump-
tion of whiskey. II it were only
the disper sary- that we oppose,
and not whiskey itself, these col
umns would to-day contain a doz-
en- or more liquor advertisements,
from which we would reap several
hundred dollars in cold cash On
our desk at this moment there
lies a $25 contract from a North
Carolina distiller awaiting our
acceptance. Butvit will have to
wait a long, long time. Should
there be any further doubt as to
this newspapers position on the
question of the sale of liquor as
q beverage?
