Rev. j. l.. Harley. superintend-
ent of the State Anti-Saloon League,
spent last Sunday in Walhalla and
delivered two lectures from the pull
pit Of the Baptist church. Both SER
vices were largely attended, the
church being filled morning and
evening. Mr.. Harley is good
speaker, fluent and able to hold the
attention Of his hearers. He made
the prediction that the next General
Assembly will pass an act authorizing
a direct vote by the people on the
question of prohibition, and that by
August of next year South Carolina
will be found in the prohibition COL
umn. At the close of his morning
lecture a subscription Of $13S.S0 was
| raised to further the prohibition and
| law and order league work in this
State. His subject for the evening
| talk was "The Bread and Butter
Side Of the Liquor Traffic" 1t was an
able discourse and we'll received. The
| collection amounted to 1915, maxi
| ing a total contribution of $14S.55.
Mr.. Harley was not an entire stran-
ger to our people, having married
lady from Walhalla--a Miss Nc
Gregor-though she was not known
to many Of the younger citizens. Al
together the visit OF Mr.. Harley was
most pleasant one, and one that
will result in good. "
