PROHIBITION IS EFFECTIVE.

Some of the dispensary advocates
among the newspapers of South Caro-
lima have been making statements re-
garding the deplorable conditions in
Georgia resulting from the Ineffective
ness of the prohibition laws. Many
people have watched our neighboring
State with special interest and have
been much concerned about conditions
there. Among them, good citizen of
Laurens, doubling Thomas regarding
those statements attempting to prove a
prohibition farce, was so vitally inter
ested that he wrote to prominent citi-
zen of Atlanta inquiring how the laws
were being enforced and what about
the amount of crime under the old re-
gime and at present.
Replying to the inquiry this Atlanta
citizen among many other things bear
ing on the same subject and in the same
tenor, said:
'In order, however, to reassure you,
and to give you some facts worth while,
let me say that during the month we
sent out letters to all the ordinaries in
the State asking number of questions,
one of which was, What effect is pro.
hibition having on crime?' The replies
are, from former dry counties, very
little change from the former saloon
counties. crime has decreased 20, 40,
5O, 70 and in two counties 80 per cent. ,"
Now while we do not attempt to
prove that whiskey is at the bottom of
all crime (indeed we do not believe any
such thing) it is fact beyond dispute
that it is "a cause" of crime. From
the foregoing quotation we readily see
that the prohibition laws have had their
effect, in this particular phase of the
matter. in Georgia. If then, the sale
of whiskey is & cause, no matter what
the degree or extent; of crime, how can
we as citizens with the care and keep
ing of public affairs in our hands, afford
to furnish and foster such cause. If
we fail to remove this cause we are not
only derelict to our duty but also guilty
of wrong-doing.

Dispensary profits come from the
pockets Of our own people.

The Abbeville Press and Banner ad-
vises preachers to keep out of politics
lest "their holy vestments" become
bedraggled in the dirty pool. We beg
to ask who made politics dirty, and
how does our esteemed contemporary
hope for publication and by what means? ?
Here is what it says:
Let our preachers, instead of bed
raggling their holy vestments down into
the dirty pool of politics, preach tenn
perance and sobriety.
when this editor was boy good A.
K. z. preachers were Mortified at the
idea of church people joining the Sons
OF Temperance. Latter day preachers,
in some instances, desecrat the sacred
desk in the holy temple by talking poll
tics, and telling us how to vote, instead
of telling us to let liquor alone"
The Abbeville paper forgets that the
purest, holiest man that ever lived
worked daily in the cutters of life and
yet he was without smirch or stain.

Some Things to Do.

Would you have a clean town, phys
ically? The old proverb as to the meth
cd used with success in jerusalem solves
it and here it is brought down to date
with minute specifications and details.
Try it.
Cut your grass.
Clean your attic.
Clean your front yard.
Clean your back yard
Pick up ali loose paper on your prem.
ises.
Dump your cut your grass with the
trash, not in the gutter.
Give your front walk hose batl
every day, unless it rains.
Dump your trash in one box, your
garbage in another. Don't mix.
Contractors-move your own debris
and don't leave this for the city to do

CHILDREN'S SAFETY GUARDED.

So great and numerous have been the
fire disasters in this country during the
past year that the subject of defective
and dangerous buildings, especially
schools and theatres, has been much
agitated. Not only by the newspapers,
but the Insurance companies have taken
up the matter and through their inspec-
tors have brought the subject very
forcibly before the people. The horri-
BILE disaster at Collinwood, near Cleve-
land, shocked the entire country and
compelled attention in the direction of
proper buildings to house our school
children.
AS seen from an article in another
column, many of the school buildings in
South Carolina have been condemned
and are considered a menace to the
lives of the children. While we know
nothing regarding the old building in
our city, we are happy to say that, to
all appearances from what we can learn,
the new building is to be erected with
careful view to the safety of our chill
dren. In conversation with Architect
E. l.. Hertzog few days ago that gen
tleman assured us that this new build
ing would be the safest that modern
architecture could devise.
"The stairways," said Mr.. Hertzog,
will be wide enough to allow four
abreast; each room will have two doors
and there will be two ways of egress
from the building, and the doors will
open outward. The entire building,
second story rooms and all, can be emp
tied in one-half minute, the children
walking" Askedif he would construct
outside iron fire escape Mr.. Hertzog
said: "by no means; they are death
trap for children excited by fire. Mod
ern architecture makes these unneces-
sary in building such as we are put
ting up. There is no possible chance
for both inside ways of egress being
cut off, and the outside escapes will be
not only useless but dangerous. The
stairs are 80 arranged that if all the
children had to be marched out by one
way only they could get out in less than
one minute"
These facts, as told by man of Mr..
Hertzog's knowledge OF architecture
and his assurance that the Laurens
school building will be the safest of it's
Kind in the State are welcome and com
forting information to the parents and
to all the people Of our city, who are
under obligation to him and to the trus-
tees for their care and foresight in thus
guarding the safety of our school chill
] dren.

Debate Unnecessary.

The following daring assertion is made
by the Newberry Observer:
Greenwood and Laurens have both
raised their mayors salary recently to
5000. Newberry is as good town as
Greenwood or Laurens and has as good
a mayor"
Will Greenwood and Laurens permit
this claim to pass unchallenged? A tri-
angular joint debate would be illumina-
ting. Without wishing to intrude, we
shrinkingly utter the suspicion that the
town and mayor of Newberry are better
than any town and mayor in North Car
olina, and equal to the best in South
Carolina. News and Courier.

A Model Wife.

A model wife is the woman who looks
after her household and makes hospi-
tality a delight to herself, and not a
burden; who has learned that a soft
answer will turn away wrath; who keeps
her sweetest smiles and most loving
words for her husband; who is his con
fdante in sorrow or in joy, and who
does not feel the necessity of explain
ing her private affairs to the neighbor-
hood; who respects the rights of hus-
band and children, and in return his due
regard paid to her; who knows that the
strongest argument is her womanliness,
and so she cultivates it; who is sympa-
thetic in JOY or in grief, and who finds
work for hands to do; who is not made
bitter by trouble, but strengthens and
sweetens under it who tries to cancel
the faults of her husband, rather than
blazon them forth to an uninterested
public; the woman whose life-book has
love written on every page; who makes
home for man; home in a house
and in heart, a home that he is sure
of, home that is full of love presided
over by one whose price is above rubies.
She is the model wife. Ex.
