Washington. Dec. S.--Wfth prophi-
cies of almost unparalleled economi-
cal and commercial advancement
near at hand for the south, an initial
movement for still greater develop
ment of the natural resources in that
section was formally inaugumted at
meeting here OF the Southern Com
mercial congress. Some reasons adj
vanccd by the speakers as to why the
south has not made greater progress
IN the development of its resources
were that that section had suffered to
a marked degree because of the lack
of adequate transportation facilities.
A factor which had prevented bet
ter railroad transportation facilities,
IL was pointed out, had been the al
legged hostility of some legislatures
IN the southern states TO the rail-
roads. But changed sentiment had
come railroads were planning for

Good Results Follow.

In opposing prohibition legislation,
especially when moral questions are
involved, some persons argue that
morality can not be legislated into
people. While this is true, yet, it is
also true that when certain tempta-
tions and fruitful sources of demora-
ization are practically removed by
the enactment of prohibitive meas
ures, good results always follow.
A notable example was the out
lawing of the lottery; another in
stance is the law prohibiting specula-
ton in cotton futures, and still an
other, and later example, is the pro-
hibition of gambling on horse races
throughout New York and several
other states in which horse racing Is
extensively practiced. To come nearer
home: Sobriety can not be legislated
into people, but, just as good results
were accomplished through the above
cited prohibitive laws, the evil of in.
temperance can by legislation be
minimized and the temptation remov-
ed to such an extent that fewer of the
bright boys of the present generation
will meet a drunkard's fate.-Edge-
field Advertiser.
The above from The Advertiser is
all too true. Edgefeld is a "dry"
county and we venture the assertion
that it will always be. Remove the
temptation, and where is the young
man that will order the vile stuff from
a neighboring state? Place prohi-
bition law on our statute books and
the generation now rising up will be
living monuments of sobriety and mo-
rality. The men who drink whiskey
now will drink less and many of the
dollars now going for whiskey will 60

the necessaries of life.
